The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand will be published in hardcover and e-book on August 19, 2025 via Gallery Books.

Edited by Christopher Golden and Brian Keene, the anthology features 34 short stories based on The Stand. It includes an introduction by Stephen King, a foreword by Golden, and an afterword by Keene.

Contributors include Wayne Brady & Maurice Broaddus, Poppy Z. Brite, Somer Canon, C. Robert Cargill, Nat Cassidy, V. Castro, Richard Chizmar, S.A. Cosby, Tananarive Due & Steven Barnes, Meg Gardiner, Gabino Iglesias, Jonathan Janz, Alma Katsu, Caroline Kepnes, Michael Koryta, Sarah Langan, Joe R. Lansdale, Tim Lebbon, Josh Malerman, Ronald Malfi, Usman T. Malik, Premee Mohamed, Cynthia Pelayo, Hailey Piper, David J. Schow, Alex Segura, Bryan Smith, Paul Tremblay, Catherynne M. Valente, Bev Vincent, Catriona Ward, Chuck Wendig, Wrath James White, and Rio Youers.

Since its initial publication in 1978, The Stand has been considered Stephen King’s seminal masterpiece of apocalyptic fiction, with millions of copies sold and adapted twice for television. Although there are other extraordinary works exploring the unraveling of human society, none have been as influential as this iconic novel—generations of writers have been impacted by its dark yet ultimately hopeful vision of the end and new beginning of civilization, and its stunning array of characters. Now for the first time, Stephen King has fully authorized a return to the harrowing world of The Stand through this original short story anthology as presented by award-winning authors and editors Christopher Golden and Brian Keene. Bringing together some of today’s greatest and most visionary writers, The End of the World As We Know It features unforgettable, all-new stories set during and after (and some perhaps long after) the events of The Stand—brilliant, terrifying, and painfully human tales that will resonate with readers everywhere as an essential companion to the classic, bestselling novel.

First Kiss part 2

So this is essentially a continuation/next part of the Fluffuary first kiss

This one more NSFW because of Palion/Slaanesh

Tag: @bispecsual @egrets-not-regrets @moodymisty @bleedingichorhearts @liar-anubiass-blog @thevoidscreams @barn-anon

Nubin Bev can feel his hot lips sear against her own during that fuzzy time after the dragon claimed its stake over her body. She feels so tired... so lethargic... as how long has it been? How much pleasure has been dragged out of her body? Bev just wanted to be seen and feel like a woman again... and certainly the creature looming over her was eager to help with that.

The room smelt of sweat and sex and something distinctly Nubin... she whimpered softly feeling her eyes slip close as he cups the back of her head and pushes his tongue into her parched mouth. Even the warm saliva seems to sooth her but she feels so disoriented underneath his body. Naked bodies pressed against one another as he kisses her so tenderly compared to what memories of the past... while drifts into her mind.

She can feel how sore she is... how utterly weak and helpless she feels right now. But Bev can manage to pull her mouth away from his for a moment as the dragon above her laps his tongue against the side of her neck... tracing the junction of her ear, jaw hinge, and neck... lapping at it lovingly and lustfully.

"Nubin..." She whimpers out causing the dragon to pause over her... she could feel him grinning... her eyes adjusting and finally seeing the white teeth appear out of the darkness her eyes using the dim sliver of light that she is afforded. "No more... please... no more."

Such a dark rumbling chuckle leaves his chest unlike the usual mirthful laugh she was so use to. Bev was in the deep end uncertain exactly who this version of Nubin was over her was. His answer to her? He simply leaned in and stole another slow and tender kiss.

Sirus His moonlight blushed down at him as she with a few other women listened to the angel croon. Colorful fabrics flooded the windows as several dozen women looked down at him hoping perhaps that it was a caller for them but they could see the half curly blonde hair move in the tied back ponytail and could tell that it was Sirus crooning for his moonlight.

Her roommates grinned at her as they helped her put pins in her hair and wrap her up in such a lovely red shawl before she pulls away to go stop the poetic proses fluttering to other ears but her own. She rushes out the front door to the still crooning Sirus as she tries to pull him away.

Sirus picks her up so that the sand nor dust can share his darlings touch. He nuzzles the back of her head as he whispers softly to her how much he loves her. Moonlight on the other hand cannot stop smiling and her face hurts from just how much he makes her smile. She just turns around in his hold and pushes her painted lips to his to silence him and he blinks down at her as a bit of the fresh lipstick imprinted upon his own mouth. And for once she has left him speechless.

Zul She clung to him... he had taken to calling her Spaseniye...it was the first thing he thought of when freed from his rage... Salvation. She was trapped here... trapped with him as she looked as fearful as the slaves and sacrifices did. She couldn't use many of her tricks, as he saw it, the mist of blood suppressing her tricks.

Zul knew he needed to change who he was working with... he needs his Spaseniye. He made the mistake of showcasing her skills and his brothers had a moment of clarity... till Kreeg decided that he didn't want to share. Zul killed several of his brothers... she was his Spaseniye... him even allowing them to feel the cooling touch of her powers... to let them gaze into her eyes.

She cowers more as he starts to growl and snarl as she. was. HIS. Spaseniye flinches as Zul lunges into the corner she is cowering in. "Open them." He snarls as instinctually she closes her eyes tightly like a child trying to hide from the monster if she can't see it. The bruising grip on her chin and her eyes fly open as aquamarine like tears run down her cheeks seeming to take the swirling colors from her eyes into her tears as well.

His tongue smears blood upon her cheeks as he licks up those tears feeling the calm rush through him. Every part of her calmed him down... her hands on his scarred and muscled forearm... it felt like cool and clean water running over his skin. She was crying and he was there trapping her in the corner of his room licking up her tears. Her tears dried up as she whimpered just trying to pull away as Zul runs his tongue once more over her cheeks just licking up as much as her salvation infused tears as he could.

His rough tongue brushing far too close to her mouth... he could feel and hear the way Spaseniye sharply inhaled as his tongue met sensitive lips. He remembers... the hand holding her chin... his thumb presses against her bottom lip. His eyes unfocused yet hyperfocused on the way her mouth moves as she whimpers before he watches her lips part as she softly says his name. MINE.

Spaseniye feels the air leave her lungs as she is pushed back half bending back as Zul's mouth pushes against hers. It is a rough kiss like everything else she has experienced so far with Zul. Her small delicate hands grip fistfuls of his clothes. She feels disoriented as he overwhelms her like the raging madman that he is... leaving her no quarter as she just holds on and tries to remember to breathe. She whimpers as he pulls his mouth back to breath himself. His eyes scanning over those puffy lips as he can taste blood from cutting her now swollen bottom lip with his teeth. Her blood tasting sweet as sensations run down his spine.

Spaseniye feels the way Zul just pulls her to him as he can feel enough peace to rest. As she is once more trapped in his arms... and she just closes her eyes to rest as well.

Palion His muse did not trust him. Even after all of the gifts he has given her... his brothers say he should just take what he wants from the mortal. After all Slaanesh would embrace such heights of pleasure and desire from him but Palion refused such temptations! But he knew he was worshiping Slaanesh with this denial of his affections as they built up more and more to a dizzying HEIGHT!

His Muse looks at him from her nest as she just hides from the naked slaves eager to worship his form. He does his best to remain unaroused lest they do their best to try to help him and he can feel her stealing glances at him. The way her eyes dance across his back... he can feel her eyes on him. He dismisses the attendants, one looks disappointed clearly desiring his cock.

He walks over clothed now and done up as he looks down at her. She is wrapped in her nice robes as he looks her over with just affection in his eyes. "My darling muse. How beautiful you are this day." He says before brushing his mouth against the back of her hand.

Muse did not know what to think of her new 'master' she tried time and time again to get out of him what her purpose was. She wasn't a sex toy as he had several of those far more willing to be debased upon his cock. She wasn't a sacrifice... he wouldn't let her get away with so many words thrown his way or rejections of his desires. He refused to answer her... he held out a mask toward her as he would offer her some horribly revealing thing to wear or a robe to cover herself... and a mask that would go with either.

"Will you tell me what I am to you?" Muse asked again looking up at him with sad eyes.

"My Companion." Is all Palion said as he delicately fixed her hair that would still be covered up by her hood.

She looked up at him and he just smiled down warmly at her... his long white hair practically iridescent or perhaps incandescent was the word she was looking for... she swallowed softly. "Well I hope to be a good companion to you." She said before she pressed her lips against his ready to be jerked back and have his tongue shoved down her throat.

His claw like nails just ghosted over his painted lips and Palion just smiled, "Well someone's feeling affectionate today. We can go over that later what it means to be my companion my darling Muse." He says securing her mask and picking her up to go greet his adoring admirers.

Nakht He hummed softly as she trembled in the magic circle... her entire form was at his mercy... he could turn her into some dog shaped human if he so desired. That is what this spell allows him to do... Nakht looked at how there are the starting stages of a beak forming making her more in line with the feathery side of their lord.

He could in theory just finish it for her... give her such a beak and make that blessed mutation complete. His thumbs push away the formation of it as her mouthless cries of indignation but he shushes her as his thumbs work the flesh like a man works clay.

His eyes glow as he shapes his Birdie's flesh to how he knows... though he does shape them to be a little bit fuller... softer for his promised kiss in fixing her. She whimpers and tries to pull away as she feels more of her shift a bit... a few more feathers are added to make her a little bit more... appealing asymmetry. "Sit still lest I ruin my work leaving you damaged." He hisses out that last word.

"I just wanted my mouth fixed not changed!" She squaks back in her usual way, her feathers raising up in agitation.

"I'm just making you better." Nakht says laughing softly as he finally finishes adding a few more feathers and making the transition between the rough flesh of her hands a lot smoother... oh yes she was his beautiful Birdie.

She pouts and Nakht resists biting his bottom lip at the way her bottom lip is more pronounced now... he cannot wait to bite it himself. He conjours up a mirror for her to see and can see his darling Birdie's eyes glitter as she sees more feathers. Normally Nakht was not overly fond of the hybridization that can happen with some gifts... but how his Birdie adored her beautiful blue plumage, her claw like hands, and even her beak was beautiful to him.

"I should get-" She yelps as he pulls her to him with a lustful gaze in his electric blue eyes.

"Ah ah ah... the first part of our 3 part agreement." Nakht says leaning in his golden skin with his light blue tattoos upon his cheeks and hands and his tied back brown hair as he pushes his birdie down onto her back.

He bites his bottom lip as he will wait to give her large brilliant blue wings he fears she might try to fly away from him but he knows how beautiful she will look with them with such joy. The blush dances across her skin as she looks away. "F-fine take your stupid- MUMPH" She cannot finish as Nakht presses his mouth to hers.

His tongue delving into her mouth and rubbing against hers as he has been waiting to kiss his Birdie for so long. Years. Of meticulous planning gone to waste all because some fool attempted to ruin his Birdie; but it gave him a better opportunity and chance... oh yes... he moans into the kiss. This was so much better.

When he pulls away he's panting and goes back in to nuzzle her neck, his eyelids fluttering, just feeling utterly HIGH. Oh yes... this turn of events was SO much better.

"Now... who did this to you." He says with a dark malice in his voice.

[princess-glassred]

I already have a Reddie Cinderella au but a fuckin Benverly Cinderella au where instead of searching for the girl who fits the slipper, beverly is searching for the boy who wrote the January Embers poem would be sooooo cute.

Poor Bev's just this princess who's being auctioned off by her creepy dad to the highest bidder like she's a hunk of meat. Pretty much every man in her life has given their unfiltered opinion on her and it's made her against marrying anyone (she does want to get married, but the men in the royal court have soured it for her). Her betrothed Tom Rogan is a piece of shit who ""sees her poential"" to be a good queen IF she's got a good man by her side to keep her in check.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the kingdom, is a poor orphaned servant named Ben hanscom. His daddy died serving for the royal gaurd and his mom passed away from an illness a couple years after, leaving him in the care of his step father Mr. Keene, his (slightly) younger step sister Greta and his older step brother Henry. Mr. Keene has Ben slaving away in his apothecary since he's fat and probably wouldn't be useful in snatching up a spouse anytime soon. He's treated like a black sheep, Greta likes getting him into trouble and being a jerk for no reason, while Henry likes to attack him with physical abuse and make jokes about his weight. Ben happens to like cleaning and working for Mr. Keene though, because he's logically minded and good at figuring out how things tecnically work (although its kinda degrading with Henry around to make fun of him all the time). It's worth noting that if Ben wasn't around Henry would probably be in the same situation, considering he's not actually Mr. Keene's son and was just sold to him by his dad for booze money.

Bev and Ben meet when she's pretending to be a maid to sneak away from her father, the only hint that she's even a princess is the palace key she keeps around her neck. She tells Ben her name is "Bevvie" to hide her identity and he buys it. The two become really fast friends after that, routinely visiting each other whenever they can. Ben even introduces her to his one and only friend, Mike the farm boy, and now all of them are kind of buddies. When the ball comes Ben has no interest in meeting princess Beverly (even though he assumes she's a wonderfully nice gal) he just wants to see bevvie again. Mostly because he wrote her a poem and neglected to give it to her before, so he HAS to give it to her at the ball. His step family ruin it though, because Ben's considered an embarassment and they can't have ANYONE interfering with Henry's attemps at marriage and Greta's wannabe socialite career. They rip up the poem right in front of him and it's quite heart breaking.

Just when all is lost though, Ben finds not one, but TWO fairy god parents here to help him. They introduce themselves as Richie Tozier and Eddie Kaspbrak, married couple, business men, and expert fairy god parents. They dress in modern clothes, which Ben finds very confusing, especially since 40 year old man in hawaiin shirt is hardly what comes to mind when you think "fairy god parent" but whatever. They seem well meaning enough, although they can't stop bickering for like 2 seconds to actually help. They bring back the poem to prove they're legit and give him all the cinderella fixings. Eddie is a little paranoid about Ben getting home on time though, so he gives him a midnight curfew so he leaves on time. Also Richie calls Ben haystack cause he sleeps in a barn lol.

The ball comes around and the usual stuff happens, Henry and Greta embarrass themselves, Bev hates everything about it, and Ben makes a grand entrance that shocks everyone. Ben is pretty shocked himself, as he realizes he's been friends with the princess all along and freaks tf out. Beverly instantly runs to him to ask where on earth he got that wonderfully designed suit and he mumbles out some bullshit excuse that doesn't really make sense. They fall in love but just as midnight comes around Ben remembers he forgot to give her the poem again! He leaves it behind by accident on the ground when he's running away, and bev's dad picks it up.

He seems interested in knowing who sent it, and for a moment Beverly honestly tells him she doesn't know because she met a lot of suitors last night. He insists they go searching for the guy, comparing hand writing to the post card from house to house. All while Bev just wants to get it over with so she can see Ben again and tell her how she really feels..

Sorry that was so long, i got really into the idea. I know i never make benverly stuff, so i wanted to try it.

“Addiction is a process that starts with pain and ends with pain.” – Unknown

November 11th, 2023

“Thank you so much for your service,” Beverly was smiling, shaking the hand of the seventy-year-old veteran who was next in line to receive their free meal.

The older man returned the smile, giving Bev as firm of a handshake as he could manage before joining the others in line.

It was Veteran’s Day and like the year previous, Beverly closed Locke Studios to volunteer her time at the local VA center. Following her generous spirit, most of her barbers had also been able to attend.

The Locke Studios barbers were spread throughout the event, some working in the kitchen, others serving food while the rest helped veterans carry their trays of food to their tables. Beverly helped organize the line, funneling in the veterans that were just arriving, greeting them, and conversing with them if they so desired to carry on a conversation.

Her heart felt full watching the sight before her. There was laughter and joy radiating throughout the facility and she had been a part of helping foster that environment.

Suddenly, there was pain. The tightness gripping her heart caused Beverly’s smile to disappear. Luis, one of her barbers, had glanced over and noticed the drastic change.

“Hey boss, you alright?” Luis commented, leaving his station after signaling for someone to step in and take over. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, ushering her to the side. He stepped in front of her, staring at her face that had lost all color.

Beverly tried to shake it off, nodding to answer his question. Truthfully, she couldn’t speak. Her heart was palpitating quickly, making her feel lightheaded and nauseous. One wrong movement and Beverly feared her heart would explode. Was this a heart attack?

“I’m fine, Luis,” Bev managed to say, her mouth dry. She took a step back, removing herself from his hold. It wasn’t that she was uncomfortable with his touch, Luis was like a brother to Bev, but she felt as though she was suffocating. “Let’s get back to it, yeah?” she said, motioning to their stations they had left behind.

Luis stared at Beverly, not believing what she was saying but he had no choice in the matter. “Alright,” he said, glancing up at the clock. “Well, it’s 11:03. Let’s give it an hour and see how you feel then,” he declared firmly before leaving her side.

An hour passed yet the symptoms had lingered long after the initial onset. Though they were not as strong, Beverly felt uneasy. Though the panic attack had subsided, the pain remained. Her chest felt tight throughout the day though she did her best to mask her symptoms.

Throughout the event, Beverly could be seen with a smile on her face. It wasn’t until she was driving home that she was able to release the emotions she had bottled inside. She allowed herself to cry, not understanding why she felt so emotional and drained. Even after, her emotional release did very little to calm her uneasiness.

It was six in the evening when there was a knock at her door. Beverly used the remote to pause the show she had been watching, wondering if she had imagined the knocking. Her question was answered seconds later when the second knock came. A voice followed, “Miss Williams, it’s the Los Angeles Police Department.”

Beverly felt paralyzed. Something was wrong. Why would they be here? Did her shop get broken into? It wasn’t until the third knock that Bev forced herself to move. Her hand rubbed her chest, her heart aching as the heartbeat began to pick up pace once more.

She peered through the peephole and opened the door. “Hello, yes, hi. I’m sorry, I was --,” she started to say but stopped, her smile fading upon seeing the solemn faces of the men who stood at her door. “What happened?” she dared to ask, her voice small and afraid of their answer.

With a heavy sigh, both officers removed their caps and held them to their chests. Beverly felt her legs give out, knowing what they were about to say.

Officer Barnes caught Beverly before she collapsed, steadying her on her feet. “Miss Williams, you need to stay with us, okay?” he said to her, his voice gentle yet calm. It was a stark contrast to how she felt.

Tears were quickly falling from her eyes, cascading down her cheeks in rapid, flowing rivers. “It’s…Matt, isn’t it?” she asked, her voice breaking with each word.

The officer wrapped his arm around Beverly’s waist, holding her against his side. Bev felt as though her legs had no strength, she could not stand. She held onto the man with the little strength she had, her heart pounding so loud, she could hardly hear Officer Camdzic speak.

“We’re so sorry, Miss Williams. Your brother, Matthew Williams, was found this morning during a welfare check. He and Miss Ortega were both deceased upon arrival. They both are having autopsies done and though we have not received the results yet, it is our assumption that they died of a drug overdose. We found heroin in the apartment,” Officer Camdzic explained gently, meeting Beverly’s gaze.

Everything that Beverly feared that come to life. The last of her family was gone. Her baby brother that she had tried to protect since the age of one was now gone, just as their mother and father before him. The light within Beverly flickered out, a flame she had clung to for years.

Trying to process everything they had said was difficult. She didn’t understand several things they had mentioned. Welfare check and a name she did not recognize. Suppressing the bile that was threatening to surface, she managed to speak. “I don’t understand. Why was there a welfare check? For what? And who is Miss Ortega? A roommate? Did she live with him?” she asked, her voice hollow.

Officer Camdzic glanced at Officer Barnes before looking at Beverly to address her questions. “Miss Williams, were you unaware of your brother’s relationship with Vanessa Ortega? There have been welfare checks since their son, Michael Williams, was born. Miss Ortega had been under the influence of illegal substances when she gave birth to Michael. They had temporarily lost custody until both completed the requirements to regain custody…” he stated, eyeing Beverly.

More lies and deceit. The reality of everything Matthew had hidden from her was coming to the surface. Another betrayal, more anger. It was what fueled Beverly to finally be able to stand on her own.

“You mean to tell me I have a nephew and I was never contacted?! He could have been here with me instead of being thrown into the system!” Beverly exclaimed, her chest rising and falling quickly. Panic. “Where is he? Where is Michael? I need to see him!”

“Michael is with CPS. He cannot be released until morning. We can give you the information to the office. They open at 9AM. If you choose to take custody of Michael, it will need to be granted by a judge and there is a process, but you do have a choice. You do not have to take custody of Michael if you do not want it,” Officer Barnes explained.

Beverly knew the process. She had been through it herself many years prior. She said nothing. It was all too much to process in such a short amount of time though there was one thing she knew for certain; she would do all within her power to bring her nephew home.

The officers left her apartment after giving Beverly the information she needed to contact them and find the CPS office that would be processing Michael’s case.

It was 7 o’clock. Fourteen hours until she could go for Michael. That night, Beverly couldn’t sleep. Grief and anger crept in like waves, crashing over her and engulfing her all at once. She never felt so low.

When the sun rose and brought in the new day, Beverly pushed herself through the motions of preparing herself but how could she mentally prepare? She had lost her brother and learned about her nephew in the same breath. How was she going to get through this?

The vibrating of her cellphone snapped her out of thoughts. She had almost dropped it. His name and face lit up the screen; Ace was calling. Did something happen?

She answered the call. “Ace,” she said, her voice hollow and empty, breaking in her attempt to say more.

There was a pause on the other side. “Where are you? I’m coming,” Ace said.

Beverly was not one to ask for help or let her friends know she was struggling but Bev had never felt so gutted. She needed help to make it through the day, knowing she had to hold herself together to bring her nephew home.

“I’m home,” Beverly told him, her eyes beginning to water once again as she stared at the plate of untouched breakfast. “Okay.”

Poly losers club headcanons:

Greta keeps bullying/teasing Bev about not having a date/being asked to junior prom. Bev doesn't care she's going to hang out with the boys at Mike's barn. But still deep down inside for Bev it would be nice to be asked. The other boys seeing this decide to do something big for Bev. The other day in the cafeteria, as sort of prom proposal. All the boys(including Mike who they snuck into the high school) all get up onto the lunch table and sing and dance to ' My girl' by the temptations (the brought a boom box). And serenade this song to Bev as a big sweet gesture. Than all 6 boys kneel and ask Beverly Marsh if she'd please go to prom with them( 'please go to prom with us Ms Marsh'). Its so sweet and cute. Of course she says yes. Greta is so annoyed(and jealous)

I've got sunshine, on a cloudy day When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May (ooh) I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way?

My girl, my girl, my girl Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl

I've got so much honey, the bees envy me I've got a sweeter song, than the birds in the trees Well, I guess you'd say What can make me feel this way?

My girl, my girl, my girl Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl

Since it’s my birthday :) here are some losers club hcs

Richie loves his birthday. Maggie and Went always through Richie the biggest birthday parties. When he was little, they’d go all out and decorate the whole house and backyard. Like think streamers and balloons everywhere and a bouncy house. As he gets older, he’s parents let him throw his own party’s. Which is basically only the losers and his parents.

Ben didn’t have big parties growing up but his mom used to decorate his door with old pictures, a sign and balloons. He loved this little tradition (I’m projecting sue me) When Bev learned that his mom did this for him, she started doing it. The first time he saw it he cried.

Eddie usually celebrated his birthday the day before because his mom had him stay in on his actual birthday. The losers would go down to the clubhouse or the quarry and decorate it with all of Eddie’s favorite things.

Mike love birthdays, he’ll go all out for everyone’s birthdays. He’s an amazing gift giver and loves watching the other losers reactions when they opens his gifts. The day before his birthday, him and his grandpa decorate the barn with string lights.

I’m going to do a part 2 once I think of more lol

Q: What is this, exactly?

A: An original short story anthology based on master storyteller Stephen King’s #1 New York Times bestselling classic The Stand!

Since its initial publication in 1978, The Stand has been considered Stephen King’s seminal masterpiece of apocalyptic fiction, with millions of copies sold and adapted twice for television. Although there are other extraordinary works exploring the unraveling of human society, none have been as influential as this iconic novel—generations of writers have been impacted by its dark yet ultimately hopeful vision of the end and new beginning of civilization, and its stunning array of characters.

Now for the first time, Stephen King has fully authorized a return to the harrowing world of The Stand through this original short story anthology as presented by award-winning authors and editors Christopher Golden and Brian Keene. Bringing together some of today’s greatest and most visionary writers, The End of the World As We Know It features unforgettable, all-new stories set during and after (and some perhaps long after) the events of The Stand—brilliant, terrifying, and painfully human tales that will resonate with readers everywhere as an essential companion to the classic, bestselling novel.

[Dvalinn -> Oron] She took several steps back to give the mech space, and looking it over carefully. Wait.... Bev had mentioned a mech of this description before..! "Hold up... are you the guy that did a crash and trash of my brother's place?"

Uh Oh...

"Uhhhhh..." The mech's speakers echoed through the area, claw tapping against the chin of it's snout. "That fella with the barn? That's your brother??"
