Ohhh, Charliessssss, remember when you made the fanfic where Peter and Kevin hannibal both liked the reader? What if the same dinner happened, but before that, they get to meet the rest of the family, and the family likes the reader how Peter and Kevin like them. The reader is very versatile, with music, Sr. Hannibal likes classical. So while he's listening to it doing whatever he does and like the reader starts singing some of the lyrics. (Not expecting them to know the song) For Hannibal Jr., the reader would love to help him cook, and they would probably dance a little with some fun music in the background. For Morgan, the reader hears him reader and politely ask him if they could join him and listen, saying his voice is nice. Peter and Kevin, they already know the reader from school. The reader is besties with kevin but keeps him in check when he snaps at his family or is being snarky.

Kevin: *fighting with Peter for the umpteenth time* Give it, you little monkey!

Peter: No!

Morgan: *cue an eye roll* Just give it back, kevin

Kevin: Oh, shut up, Morgan

*Reader gets up and slaps him over the head*

Reader: Stop being an asshole and give it. Dirtneck. *Give Kevin the same thing as Peter to stop fighting*

Do you also remember that moment when a reader made little sister reader cry in that one fanfic, and Kevin wouldn't listen to his father? I wanted to tell him to shut the fuck up and listen to his father so badly. 😤

For Peter, the reader is very sweet to him and gives him hugs and likes to make him flustered. The reader knows when he's faking being nice. (Like when he did to capture his s/o and pretend to be hurt to fool them)

And the reader isn't faced by blood or bodies because they like horror movies (the none of the family knows that yet?

At dinner, they all like the reader (and would like them to be their s/o) hopefully.

(Also, could you use the artist, Tyla, for a face claim she's so pretty)

Love you! Have a good day!

(Here you go ! Enjoy. 💜)

You had followed the instructions to the letter and found yourself on Hannibal property. Both Peter and Kevin had been struggling with school and hence, you had proposed to tutor them. But at the time, you hadn’t realised the lions’ den you would be stepping into.

You came up to the door and knocked. The door opened and a nicely-dressed gentleman appeared.

"To whom do I owe the pleasure ?" He asked—his deep brown eyes giving you a careful once over.

"Y/N. Y/N L/N, sir. I am here to tutor Peter and Kevin." You replied with a smile and Hannibal Jr. stared at you curiously for a few seconds before wordlessly letting you step inside.

"Of course. We were expecting you. Come on in."

You obliged and stepped inside. But, you were rendered speechless by the immensity and the beauty of the place. It was literally carved in mahogany and black and white marble. You looked up and there was a legit glass dome covering the ceiling. HOW RICH WERE THESE PEOPLE ?!

You shook your head when the man with the elegant suit and the charming smile returned with a tray of homemade chocolates that he place in front of you.

"Kevin and Peter should soon be downstairs. Anything you would like to drink before the session begins ?" He asked politely and you smiled back.

"Hum…Water, please ?"

He nodded.

"Of course. I shall be right back."

As you waited in the grand sitting room, your eyes wandered across the opulent space, taking in the intricate designs and sheer extravagance once more. The Hannibal mansion was more like something out of a gothic horror novel than a home, and yet, it didn’t faze you. After all, you had seen your fair share of horror films, and this place—while eerie—was nothing compared to some of the haunted houses on screen.

Your train of thought was interrupted when Kevin and Peter came tumbling down the stairs, already bickering.

"I told you not to touch it, you little gremlin !" Kevin snapped, his dark eyes flashing with annoyance.

Peter held onto some kind of red stone, his blonde curls bouncing as he stuck out his tongue. "And I told you I found it first, so it's mine."

Kevin made a lunge for Peter, but you quickly intervened, stepping in with a firm, playful slap to the back of Kevin’s head. "Stop being an asshole, Kev. It’s not that serious."

Kevin rubbed the back of his head, shooting you a glare that was more annoyed than angry. "Wha—?! What are you doing here ? Who let you in ?! And why are you always siding with him, Y/N ?"

"I'm siding with common sense," you said, rolling your eyes before taking the red stone from Peter. "Here. Mine. Now, both of you stop acting like children."

Peter grinned, clearly pleased with the outcome, while Kevin muttered under his breath.

"Fine, fine. But only because you asked," Kevin finally said begrudgingly.

"Right, because you're such a martyr," you teased.

Just then, Hannibal Jr. returned with your water, his gaze flicking between the three of you with mild amusement. "I see you're already keeping the peace. That is a rare talent around here."

You smiled, taking the glass from him. "I have a lot of practice."

Kevin rolled his eyes but didn’t argue as Peter stuck close to you, practically beaming. It was clear Peter already adored you, not just as a tutor but as someone he could rely on. He tried to look tough, but you knew how soft he could be, especially when you gave him attention. You ruffled his curls affectionately, and he blushed, looking away to hide his flushed cheeks.

"Y/N, you're embarrassing me…" Peter mumbled, though he didn’t move away from your touch.

Hannibal Sr. entered next, his presence commanding yet elegant, and you instinctively straightened up. He was an intimidating figure, but as he approached, his eyes seemed to soften slightly. His gaze landed on you, appraising, but there was something about your calm demeanor that intrigued him.

"You must be Y/N," he said in his deep, cultured voice. "Peter and Kevin speak highly of you."

"Thank you, sir," you replied, flashing him a polite smile. "It’s a pleasure to meet you all."

They all smiled before your session with the Hannibal brothers started. You gave them exercises to do and gave them time to do them before explaining their mistakes and giving them each individual tasks and exercises to do. You asked Kevin to exercise breathing techniques before oral exams so he may control his nervousness and not be as snappy about criticism. For Peter, you decided to give him texts to read aloud and also, ask him to write in a journal to exercise his pen writing. Once done, you asked if you could stay a little bit and look around—as you had never seen such a beautiful house. They agreed.

As the evening progressed, you found yourself slipping seamlessly into the Hannibal household dynamic. At one point, you wandered into the grand study, hearing the soft strains of classical music playing in the background. Hannibal Sr. sat at his desk, a book in hand, but you could tell he was deeply immersed in the music. The familiar notes of "Lacrimosa" from Mozart’s Requiem filled the room, and without thinking, you softly began to hum along.

When you started singing the actual latin lyrics, Hannibal Sr. raised an eyebrow, not expecting anyone else to know the piece so well. He didn’t comment, but there was a small, approving nod. You had caught his attention and he approved of you—as a worthy tutor for his children.

Later, when you moved into the kitchen, you found Hannibal Jr. preparing dinner. You asked if you could help, and to your surprise, he accepted the offer. The two of you worked side by side, chopping vegetables and stirring pots, the atmosphere surprisingly light. A fun, upbeat tune played on the radio, and in a rare moment of levity, Hannibal Jr. twirled you around the kitchen, his reserved demeanor cracking just slightly as he chuckled. He then invited you to stay for dinner.

Morgan, the ever-serious one, was in the library, reading aloud to himself when you found him. His voice had a deep, soothing quality, and you asked if you could join him. "Your voice is nice," you said with a genuine smile, causing him to pause for a moment. He wasn’t used to receiving compliments like that, especially not about something as simple as his voice. But he obliged, allowing you to sit with him as he read, the two of you sharing a quiet, intellectual moment.

When dinner was finally ready, the entire family gathered around the table. Peter sat beside you, leaning into your side as you gave him a quick hug, whispering something teasing to make him flustered. He blushed furiously, stammering a response, while Kevin, across the table, grinned and nudged you with his foot under the table, clearly enjoying Peter’s reaction.

As the meal progressed, you could feel the eyes of the Hannibal family on you—not with suspicion, but with interest. Each of them had found something about you they liked. You were adaptable, versatile, and somehow, you managed to fit into their strange, chaotic world with ease.

Hannibal Sr. raised his glass at one point, his voice smooth and composed as he spoke. "To our guest, Y/N, who has proven to be an excellent tutor." His eyes gleamed with something deeper, something approving, and you realized that this dinner had become more than just a simple meeting. It was a test—and you had passed.

As the family toasted to you, you couldn’t help but smile. Whatever you had gotten yourself into, one thing was clear: the Hannibals liked you, and whether you realized it or not, they each wanted you to stick around for a long, long time.

As the evening drew to a close, the tension at the table grew thick between Peter and Kevin. What had started as a few playful jabs escalated into something more heated. Peter, with his wide, puppy-dog eyes, had been clinging to your side for most of the night, clearly loving the attention you gave him. Kevin, on the other hand, had been throwing snide comments Peter's way all evening, barely containing his frustration.

It finally boiled over when Peter leaned in a little too close to you, and Kevin, not having any of it, snapped.

"Can you stop clinging to her like a leech, Peter ?" Kevin growled from across the table. "She’s here to tutor us, not babysit you."

Peter puffed out his chest, glaring at Kevin. "She’s my tutor too, Kevin ! You’re just mad because she doesn’t let you act like a jerk."

"That’s not—" Kevin stood up, his dark eyes flashing dangerously as he pointed across the table at Peter. "You’re acting like a little kid. She’s not interested in you like that !"

"At least I don’t treat her like dirt !" Peter shot back, standing up as well.

The argument escalated from there, with both brothers bickering loudly, trying to one-up each other. You groaned inwardly, unsure of how to defuse the situation this time. It wasn’t uncommon for them to bicker, but this felt different—more intense, like both were trying to win your approval.

"Kevin, Peter, enough !" you said, standing up from your seat, but they barely heard you over their arguing.

Morgan rolled his eyes from the other side of the table, sighing in exasperation. "This is ridiculous. Can’t you two go five minutes without acting like idiots ?"

Kevin shot Morgan a glare. "Stay out of it."

That’s when Hannibal Jr. stood up, his presence immediately silencing the room. His calm, measured voice cut through the tension. "Boys, sit down. Now."

Both Peter and Kevin looked momentarily chastised, though they didn’t sit. The argument was still simmering under the surface. You could see it in the way they kept sneaking glances at each other, daring one another to start something again.

Hannibal Jr. turned to you, his gaze softening slightly. "Y/N, I will drive you home. It’s getting late."

You nodded, more than ready to leave after the chaos. You gathered your things and followed Hannibal Jr. to the door, the air between Peter and Kevin still crackling with unresolved tension.

As you walked out to the car, Hannibal Jr. opened the passenger door for you, ever the gentleman. Once you were seated, he walked around to the driver’s side and started the engine. The drive was quiet for a few moments, the hum of the engine filling the silence.

Then, after a while, Hannibal Jr. broke the silence, his voice low and calm. "…I deeply apologise for my nephews’ behavior tonight." He glanced at you, his usually composed features tinged with a hint of regret. "Here is the promised money." He reached into his coat and handed you an envelope, which you took hesitantly.

You opened your mouth to protest, but before you could say anything, he continued, "I would understand if you would not come back to teach them. They have put our family to shame tonight. But, they are good boys," he added, his voice softening even more, "They are just very young and impulsive."

You held the envelope in your lap, looking out of the window for a moment as you processed his words. There was an undeniable weight to his apology, a sense that this wasn't just about tonight. It was about the expectations that came with being part of a family like theirs—expectations that Peter and Kevin had yet to fully grasp.

"I…It's okay," you finally said, glancing at him. "They’re not bad kids. They just need someone to keep them in line."

Hannibal Jr. gave a faint smile, his eyes flicking over to you briefly before returning to the road. "Perhaps. But it shouldn’t be your responsibility. They’ll learn… eventually."

The rest of the drive was peaceful, and by the time you arrived at your place, the earlier tension had faded into the background. Hannibal Jr. parked in front of your house and turned to you one last time, his expression sincere.

"Thank you, Y/N, for your patience tonight. I do hope this won’t dissuade you from coming back."

You smiled back at him, giving a small nod. "I’ll think about it."

He seemed satisfied with that and gave you a polite nod before watching you head inside. You weren’t entirely sure what you had gotten yourself into with the Hannibals, but you knew one thing for certain: you weren't running away just yet. You smirked and chuckled to yourself.

You were definitely coming back…

Eddward “Double D” ~ (tickle headcanons) 🐜

Lee

*Canonically ticklish and I’m so here for it ✨

*Eddy and Ed absolutely tickle this guy all the time. Whether that be because they need to convince him to go along with a scam, or just because the guy gets nervous and needs to chill out and laugh.

*Ed does a lot of the second one. He’ll notice Double D is rambling out of anxiety and drop everything he’s doing to pull Double D into a tickle hug till he’s nothing but giggles. 💖

*HAS THE CUTEST FUCKING GIGGLES GUYS 👏

*They’re so contagious that whoever’s tickling him can’t help but laugh along.

*Even Kevin has fallen victim to it.

*Kevin definitely sees Double D as a friend in my head. He doesn’t like Ed or Eddy, but genuinely enjoys Double D’s company.

*That being said, he still doesn’t shy away from calling him a dork or “beating him up.” Which just means Kevin will tickle him and make Double D say to Ed and Eddy he got beat up.

*I love to think Kevin and Double D hang out in secret and talk about motorcycles.

*Nazz will sometimes poke at the other guys not realizing she’s tickling them. She loves doing this to Double D.

*He always makes the most adorable funny noises and she adores them. Verbally mind you, and it makes Double D’s face go insanely red real fast.

*Eddy is such a teasey little shit to Double D.

*He loves to sneak in the word tickle into random sentences to watch Double D blush a little.

*He can say the word when doing the tickling, but hearing it in a lee mood makes him all flustered.

*When he’s in a ler mood though, it doesn’t phase him. Much to Eddy’s dismay.

*Is the type of lee to curl up in a little ball rather than try and fight off his ler. Most of time he wouldn’t be able to anyway so why put up a fight.

*He has been ganged up on by the other kids in the cul de sac. Everyone can’t help giggle along with him while he’s tickled.

*Kevin and Rolf are a terrifying ler duo to all the other kids. Especially to Double D.

*They’ll sneak up behind him then tease him till the sun goes down. Rolf is much more merciful than Kevin, but they balance each other out.

*Double D is definitely their favorite victim. They can tell he doesn’t totally hate it and find it enjoyable at how ticklish he is.

*Plus they can pretty much get him to do whatever they want if they tickle him long enough.

*Requires hugs or some sort of physical and/or emotional aftercare when he’s done being tickled.

Ler

*Uses a lot of strategy.

*As we’ve seen, he’s very scientific and is incredibly intelligent. So you better bet he’s memorized each little way to make his friends fall apart into giggles.

*Tickles Ed to make him happy. He knows that Ed enjoys it and loves the playfulness. Ed always tickles him back though so he’s gotta be careful.

*Tickles Eddy when he’s being annoying or to distract him while he’s trying to come up with another scam.

*He actually secretly loves being the ler, but he doesn’t get the opportunity to be the ler as much as he gets to be the lee.

*Uses lots of teases.

“Aww, Eddy! I’ve never heard you make that noise before!”

“Oh dear, Ed. It seems my hands are stuck under your arms. Looks like you’ve got lift them or they’ll be stuck there forever~”

“Always so gullible, Eddy. And always so ticklish.”

*Cue Double D’s cute little giggles 😭

*Can use the word tickle is he’s the one doing the tickling. But he can’t say it if he’s asked to out of nowhere.

*Has gotten Kevin back with Rolf’s help lots of times. He doesn’t dare ask Kevin to get back at Rolf because Rolf will go full on tickle monster on the both of them till they’re crying.

*Kevin finds it so flustering that he can be taken down by a dork like Double D, especially to something so childish like tickling.

*Double D always reassures him that it’s not childish and that everyone is a little ticklish somewhere. Cue Kevin’s revenge.

*Knows a lot of science behind tickling.

*All the technical terms and why certain areas are more ticklish than others, and he’ll talk about it while he’s tickling someone.

*Going on and on about why we have 24 ribs while counting them out loud, why our feet have so many nerve endings while scribbling them, as well as giving a personal demonstration of how different tools make the person emit different sounds of laughter.

*Eddy has been the test subject one too many times in his opinion.

*He can never really get away with tickling someone without that person getting their revenge. But all in all, he doesn’t really mind.

*He likes being able to be playful with his friends, and tickling is something he’ll always associate with special memories in the cul de sac.

Kai no Kiseki - English Summary - Act 3 Van Route 4

Table of Contents

The Bunny Outfits are essential to the plot.

Act 3: Van 4

Van picks up everyone, including Renne and Agnes, at the Aramis Dorms. The students gather to see them off, and Feri comments on the strength of school friendships, to which Agnes agrees.

Renne, having been giving Van sidelong looks all morning, finally gets on his nerves. He asks her to speak up. Renne replies that it’s nothing and that she totally doesn’t know what happened last night with Agnes. Regardless of the outcome, she hopes Van had fun.

She then whispers, asking if Van’s kink involves making Agnes go out in her school outfit late at night. Van denies it, insisting that all they did was a nightly patrol.

He explains that Agnes came up with a flimsy excuse about her clothes being in the washer. Renne laughs and asks if he got pulled over by the cops. Van says no, but remarks it must have been sheer luck that he didn’t.

While still in the car, Van gives an exposition dump about Anchorville, explaining that it’s a city situated between Messeldam and Oracion with a population of about 120,000. The city hosts major companies but still retains a medieval charm despite its modern upgrades, making it almost a tourist attraction. He adds that it’s an ideal place for people looking for a medium-sized town to settle in. Judith, annoyed, tells him not to summarize her hometown like that, but admits he’s pretty much right. She also mentions that Anchorville has a lot of manufacturing and logistical warehouses for exports, and it’s well-known for its hospital. Risette tells Quatre that it ranks in the top 10 most desirable cities to live in Calvard. Aaron adds that it’s only a two-hour train ride from Edith.

Quatre says he needs to check on something, and Van asks if it’s related to Basel. Quatre confirms this, mentioning that the CID has closed off the underground after some incident involving the Thors group. He also shares that something significant was discovered deep in the Observatory’s undergrounds. Quatre can’t reach his grandma, and neither can Esremay. He asks Van to get information from Grim Garten for updates, but Aaron notes that everyone there is keeping their cards close to their chest.

Agnes agrees, wondering what Nadia, Swin, and Lapis are up to. Overhearing the conversation from his orbal bike, Bergard reflects that Kevin will likely face difficulties, but if Rion and Celis are involved, they might have a chance.

Judith then gets a call from her mom, Chloe, who asks if anyone’s been able to contact Dominique, Judith’s grandmother. Chloe says no one has. She also informs Van that all the lodging and food arrangements have been made, then hangs up. Aaron, ever the flirt, slyly comments on how young Chloe looks for her age, asking Judith if Chloe’s open to remarrying or if she’s seeing anyone.

Judith initially answers that she’s been trying to set her mom up on dates but quickly becomes furious when she realizes Aaron might be interested in her mom.

As they arrive in Anchorville, everyone admires the blend of medieval and modern architecture. Judith feels at home, while Risette stands lost in thought, staring at City Hall. Judith, wearing sunglasses, offers to take the group to her family’s Café Brasserie, whose logo was designed by her grandma, Dominique.

Inside, they meet a waitress named Shannon (cue the "another reused NPC name" comment). Judith is outed as a local, and the regulars ask if Van is her boyfriend. One of the patrons even mentions that Dominique has talked about Van, hinting that the future of the café might be in his hands. Judith, flustered, denies that Van is her boyfriend.

Chloe arrives and escorts the group upstairs, while Shannon (also sporting blue hair) gives Risette a curious glance. Chloe explains that the second floor is set up with internet access for Van’s group since they’ll be staying for a while. Judith, oversharing, accidentally reveals that the third floor and basement serve as Grimcats’ base of operations, complete with cool gadgets, before getting a sharp look from her mom. Van sweatdrops but thanks Chloe for going above and beyond, even promoting their 4SPG services on bulletin boards throughout the city. Chloe assures them it’s no problem, and she hopes they’ll gain traction soon.

Bergard wonders if Chloe might know something off about Anchorville. Chloe responds, saying that while there’s been an influx of shady individuals due to the Space Project hype and constant partying, she hasn’t noticed anything specific about the Masked People. Despite being a "retired kitty," she offers her assistance to the group, saying she can still lend a hand. Aaron asks about lunch, and Chloe assures him it’s simple but delicious before leaving the room.

Agnes praises Chloe, noting her elegance and flawless demeanor, leaving no room for criticism. Bergard compares her aura to Dominique’s, though Dominique was more hotheaded. Aaron adds that Chloe’s composed competence made Judith’s constant missteps more noticeable, much to Judith’s annoyance. Judith quickly changes the subject, asking what Van will do now that he has the 4 SPGs. Van says he’ll contact Elaine at the Guild branch in the capital, while Aaron mentions he could get some intel on Heiyue from the Kowloon bank.

Just then, a voice calls the group downstairs for food. As Van turns, he notices that the "scent" he typically gets when something is off has completely vanished, making him wonder if something’s going on.

Downstairs, the group enjoys a buffet with mussels as the star dish. Quatre is surprised, but Risette and Bergard explain that, though mussels are typically found in the sea, they’re also harvested from the river running between Oracion and Anchorville. Renne dips her bread in the sauce, and Feri follows suit. After the meal, tiramisu is served, much to Van’s excitement.

Everyone is equally thrilled, and Renne muses that while she’d normally have tea with such a dessert, coffee seems to pair well too. Bergard mentions he’s been to the café countless times but never ordered the tiramisu. Van says he’s had it before, but this version blows anything he’s tasted out of the water, calling it rich and fragrant, a true testament to the dessert’s three generations of perfection from Judith’s family. His enthusiastic rambling alarms Shannon, and Van gives Chloe a thumbs-up from across the restaurant, prompting Judith to tell him to stop scaring the staff.

Risette suddenly pauses, and when everyone asks her what’s wrong, she says the tiramisu is just too good. Judith offers to share the recipe, mentioning it’s already published, and Van immediately raises his hand to get it. Risette, thinking to herself, reflects that her body’s mimicry taste sensor is supposed to replicate only 30% of actual taste buds, yet she’s still able to fully enjoy the dessert.

In free roam, speaking with a customer named Perdue, a long-time regular, he comments that what the group just ate is only the third-best dish the café offers. When Van asks what’s second, Perdue replies it’s the alcohol served later in the day. And the first? Perdue coyly responds that it’s "a little erotic" and suggests Van could be the answer to Judith’s need for a proper man. Flustered, Judith insists she has no trouble attracting men, while Aaron laughs, teasing her about being bullied by an old geezer.

Agnes comments on how lively the café is. If you talk to Perdue again, he mentions he’s always trying to "educate the girls." Judith becomes irritated, asking if he’s been harassing Shannon, but Perdue denies it, explaining that Shannon already has a boyfriend. He does, however, admit that he might extend his "education" to the other female staff, prompting Chloe to overhear and ask for clarification, causing Perdue to fall silent.

In an optional cutscene with Shannon, Judith points out that Risette looks familiar to her. Shannon jokes that Risette could even be her long-lost sister. Feri takes it seriously, but Shannon clarifies that she’s an only child—though she does feel a connection.

Afterward, outside, Judith begins explaining Anchorville and its districts, but locals interrupt by waving to her. An old lady even scolds Judith, telling her to put on sunglasses. The group finds it amusing how strongly the locals feel about Judith, attributing it to a deep sense of local love and admiration. Aaron, however, scoffs, saying it feels more like everyone is intensely judging Judith’s every move, rather than admiring her.

At the hotel, the receptionist informs you of a bar downstairs. Upon talking to the bartender, the group learns that an elderly man in Far Eastern clothing recently visited and left a big impression on him. (Yun Ka-Fai?!!!)

You can visit Eton and head to the back, where Reporter Edwin, a familiar face, recognizes Van. Though they've crossed paths before, this is their first proper meeting. Van notices Agnes acting strangely and asks her why. She explains that Edwin is the same name in Sunshine Agnes.

At the church, the Bishop tells Van to sit down and pray to Aidios or leave, as they’re in the middle of prayers. Bergard mentions that this Bishop is actually well-known within the Septian Church. As they’re about to leave, Priest Leon engages in a conversation, causing Judith to ‘tch’ at him. Leon questions why she did that, leading to a discussion where the group asks about their connection. Leon playfully asks Judith if she has any sins to confess, especially concerning her Grimcats outings. Quatre is surprised Leon knows about it. Judith explains that she’s known Leon for a long time but is offended by his old-fashioned mindset, particularly his disdain for acting and movies. Leon clarifies that he doesn’t hate acting itself but rather the current state of the industry, which he believes focuses too much on sexualizing people and catering to fanservice (probably referring to Gotti's movies). He mentions that even discussing Judith’s profession gives him a headache.

Judith fires back, demanding that he at least watch her movies before judging. She challenges him, asking if he’s ever actually watched any of her films. Agnes laughs, commenting on how they don’t seem to get along, while Aaron quips, “Hehe, well, it’s only natural considering she’s both a kinkster and a phantom thief.”

Talking to Leon again, he’ll vent to Van about all his old grievances with Judith—being late, forgetting homework, breaking promises, borrowing his things without returning them. Judith interjects, calling him clumsy too and questioning how he can hold onto grudges from a decade ago, especially when the Church teaches forgiveness. She also points out that he failed to mention the time she jumped into a river to save him from drowning.

At the Guild Branch, Alvis arrives, expecting Van. Agnes notes that Alvis seems more accepting of Van now. Aaron also recognizes Luka, Hazel’s granddaughter from Oracion. Regena is there as well, worried about Anju, who was stationed in Anchorville. The receptionist, Regard, Anju’s brother, explains that the branches in the Capital, Anchorville, and Oracion are cooperating to track down the Masked People. Aaron compliments him, and Judith remarks that Anchorville’s peace is largely thanks to him. Van comments that he’s heard of Regard, a former A-Rank Bracer who retired due to injuries. (You can learn this earlier if you spoke to Anju and Regena back in Act 2.)

Renne asks for any updates on A-D and the Remnants, but the Guild reports no abnormalities in Messeldam, Oracion, or Anchorville, leading Alvis to wonder if they’re even in Anchorville. Still, his instincts tell him not to overlook the town just because there’s no visible threat. Regard notes that the police haven’t been mobilized from the Capital in a while, leaving Anchorville largely defenseless, with only the Bracers protecting the area. He suggests that Van’s unique skills as a Spriggan could help, and asks Arkride to prove himself.

Arkride appreciates being recognized without initial suspicion and agrees to investigate. Alvis asks for Van’s help with their matters, and Regard proposes that Van’s group handle monsters in the southern outskirts while Alvis covers the north.

Talking to Regard again reveals that he holds high expectations for Van, hoping his renowned “smell finder” ability proves useful. Regard also mentions his intention to repay Alvis and Regena for watching over Anju. Speaking to Alvis again reveals that Anju is upstairs, preparing for Bracer work. When you talk to her, she expresses anxiety, fearing that the Remnants and A-D are secretly hiding in town, and she’s determined to protect everyone.

----

4SPG: Finding Snapshots Nathan, a man searching for rare photographs he took, realizes he misplaced them after getting drunk. The last thing he remembers is putting the photos in a magazine he was reading, but now the magazine is missing. The group starts by investigating at the bar, where they discover the bartender took the magazine—but it had no photos. They suspect other customers might be involved, and it turns out, four customers had taken the photos.

The first customer has a photo of Dominique and reminisces about growing up with his grandmother, a fan of hers. He tearfully returns the picture to Van.

The second customer is a Judith fan and hands over the photo after seeing Judith in person.

The third customer, a woman, claims to have a picture of Grimcat, which causes Judith to panic and Aaron to laugh. It turns out to be a photo of Rosalie’s Grimcat instead.

The fourth customer is a hotel guest who returns a photo of Chloe.

The group returns to Nathan and asks where he took the picture of Rosalie’s Grimcats. He explains that he snapped it in the outskirts of Edith, where he saw a strange figure. Renne laughs, suggesting Rosalie was essentially streaking, and suspects this might have been before her mission to steal the Alter Core at The Chardin.

4SPG: Nelken Transportation The CEO of Nelken Transportation asks the group to help find a missing driver named Yasel, who has a troubled past. Nelken’s company hires misfits like Yasel to help reintegrate them into society. As they investigate his delivery route, the group deduces that Yasel might be attempting to take his own life. They find him on the outskirts, with a gun in his mouth, but Van knocks it away and talks him down.

Their investigation shifts focus as they uncover Nelken Transportation's darker side. They learn that it is a "black company" (slang in Japan for exploitative companies), and Yasel had been forced to work over 300 hours in a month while covering all truck-related expenses himself. The group tricks Nelken into believing Yasel took his own life, prompting Nelken to reveal his true colors, expressing relief at not having to deal with Yasel anymore. They confront Nelken, revealing that Yasel is alive and they have a USB containing evidence of the company's illegal activities. When negotiations fail, Nelken summons bodyguards to attack.

After the battle, Yasel tries to kill Nelken with the same gun he almost used on himself. The group faces a critical choice: stop Yasel or let him carry out his revenge.

4SPG: A Tourist’s Troubles Gracio, a city hall employee, asks Van for help with lodging issues. Chief Bannings (not Lloyd Bannings) explains the situation further. The group interviews various hotels and inns, including Chloe’s Café, and pieces together the truth.

Back with Gracio, Van bluntly reveals that Gracio is the culprit. By altering reservation information, Gracio forced customers into precarious situations where they had to cancel and attempt to get refunds. However, due to an ongoing charity campaign, part of the refunded money was nonrefundable, allowing Gracio to embezzle the difference. Bannings concurs, pointing out the mismatch between the budget and the amount received. Frustrated, Gracio lashes out, saying he asked for a cover-up, not an expose on him.

At the Kowloon Bank The group meets Fan Lu. Fan explains that while Heiyue has mostly stabilized, the case of the missing people still concerns them. He read about Heiyue’s defeat at Dirke Memorial Park (Act 2 Van 2) and wanted to confirm if the remnants were in Anchorville. Judith has named the Masked Remnants as Apostle, Female Soldier, and Chivalrous Warrior. Aaron expresses concern, noting how strong the Masked Warriors are, even beating Rixia, also known as Yin.

Fan is surprised by Aaron's newfound composure and growth, attributing it to the influence of the Spriggans. He praises Aaron, recalling how the old Aaron would have charged in recklessly. Aaron suggests relying on Van and the solvers through the 4SPG system. Fan agrees, promising to share any new information with them.

Connect Event: Agnes

Agnes and Van meet the children from Earl's Orphanage in Oracion under the guise of showing them around Anchorville. Furona, the chaperone and their foster caretaker, plans to surprise Jan, one of the orphans, with the news of his new foster parents.

They take the children around town, walking the streets, crossing the river bridge, and even stopping by the Eton News Agency where Sunshine Agnes was. Van treats them to food and tiramisu at a café. However, Jan, sensing something is off, sneaks away from the group after the dessert. The others notice his absence and rush to find him sitting alone by the canals.

Van, having been in Jan’s shoes, immediately understands. He talks to Jan, explaining how hard it is to be chosen by a new family while leaving behind the siblings and caretaker he’s known. Van reveals that he too grew up as an orphan and was the “big brother” of his group. He shares how he was a troublemaker, always getting into mischief, but that Mr. Arkride would always encourage him, reminding him that no matter how far away you are, you’re still connected to those you care about.

Thanks to those words, Van says, he was able to form new friendships. He reassures Jan that leaving the orphanage doesn’t mean those bonds are broken. While speaking, Van glances at Agnes, hinting that his life has turned out pretty well. He encourages Jan to be happy, as his family wants the same for him. With newfound courage, Jan rejoins his siblings and agrees to meet his new foster parents.

Afterward, Agnes asks Van about his past. He shares that shortly after his birth, he was abandoned and left at an orphanage with a letter claiming he was a demon and urging the orphanage to raise him regardless. After being adopted, he was subjected to torture by the DG cult. Following his rescue, the orphanage was contacted to explain what had happened, but Van never returned. When he eventually started Arkride Solutions, he tried to track down his ‘Father’ only to learn that after Van's rescue, his father had fallen ill around the same time. His father’s final wish was for Van to find a place where he belonged.

Van remembers moments with his father, who assured him that he wasn’t a devil. He told Van that many people face misfortune, but because Van had known pain from the start, he could stand by others to help prevent them from suffering the same fate. His father believed that through this, Van would find his place in the world. Agnes is intrigued, wondering if this could be the origin of a 4SPG.

She holds Van's hand, urging him not to have regrets about the person he cares about most. She expresses her desire for Van to find a place where he can smile, be happy, and truly belong, which she believes is also what Van's father would have wanted. Apologizing, Agnes admits she might be overstepping, but she felt compelled to tell him because she believes she and his father share the same wishes for him. She wants him to find happiness no matter what.

Van takes a deep breath, telling Agnes she’s truly something else, and that once again, she’s the one helping him realize these things. He jokingly calls himself pathetic. Agnes laughs, reminding him that he’s been his own person from the start—he just hadn’t realized it. She tells him he’s helped so many people, including her, to take that "step forward." From the bottom of her heart, Agnes confesses that she’s glad she met him.

Van tells her the feeling is mutual, though he feels unworthy of having her by his side. Agnes laughs, teasing him by saying she feels the same about herself. Then, with a wink, she warns him to be ready because she plans to grow so much as a person that one day Van will realize too late what an amazing woman she’s become, and he’ll regret missing his chance. (Agnes says this while sounding like she’s about to cry, foreshadowing...)

Van chuckles, saying he looks forward to that day.

Connect Event: Renne

Renne and Van visit the Eton News Agency to meet with Reporter Edwin, who had invited her to appear on his radio show/podcast. Edwin asks about Van, and Van explains that he's her guardian and is curious about what Edwin wants with Renne. Edwin quickly apologizes, saying he didn’t mean to come off as creepy—he just wanted to feature interesting individuals on his show. He then remarks on Renne’s reputation as a child prodigy with multiple degrees.

Renne plays along, teasing that Edwin’s compliment about her beauty is making her blush. Van, puzzled, asks why she's even going through with this, to which Renne replies that she can't avoid attention now that she's being noticed even behind the scenes. Edwin reassures them that any sensitive parts of the interview can be edited out. He also invites Van to participate, noting who he is. Surprised that he’s been identified, Van suspects this is Edwin’s skill as a reporter but still declines the offer.

Renne and Edwin enter the recording booth, where she introduces herself as “Kitty.” Edwin gives a brief overview of Renne’s background, mentioning her contributions in the Republic and hinting at her rumored identity as the infamous hacker “Kitty.” Renne laughs, admitting this is her first public interview. She then shares her experiences as an exchange student from Liberl and the Student Council President at Aramis. Edwin brings up the runner-up to her presidency, who became a terrorist in Kuro 2. Renne also displays her Kitty website, which is managed by a Hollow Core AI, and mentions that clicking the Kitty logo ten times plays kitten sound clips throughout the Capital.

During the interview, Edwin notes that Renne has traveled to many countries and asks if she's wealthy. Renne coyly responds that she used to have a job. When asked about her childhood, she jokingly says she "slaughtered" obstacles in her hacking operations (a combination of angel of slaughter and being the hacker kitty), before backtracking and requesting that be off the record. Van facepalms at the slip.

As the interview wraps up, Renne reflects on her past, recalling the people who helped lift her from darkness—Loewe and Joshua—and how her family, particularly Estelle and Joshua, showed her a brighter path. She also acknowledges a certain someone (Van) who helped her when she was lost, expressing gratitude to everyone who has supported her growth, and hopes it’s her turn to guide those struggling in the shadows.

After the interview, Van admits how worried he was, as Renne was close to revealing too much. Embarrassed, Renne blushes, which surprises Van, given her usual smug and teasing demeanor.

He notes that while she’s 18 and wealthy, she's still a kid. Van muses that those who lifted her up should hear this interview, and he believes those “inside” Renne would be proud as well. Renne reveals that after Nemeth Island, she no longer feels that "they" are with her, believing they’ve moved on peacefully after she confronted her past. Van acknowledges her growth, and Renne thanks him for supporting her when she was younger and staying close to her now. Van jokes that she's putting too much credit on him, forgetting the others who helped her. Renne wonders if Van is finally becoming self-aware. She also mentions, in jest, that perhaps she should even thank Harwood for the events of Kuro 2, despite the chaos. Renne then asks Van to continue supporting her, as she’s once again in his care.

Connect Event: Emilia

Van rides Bergard’s ETWS bike to meet Emilia, who has taken the Excalibur without permission to meet him. Van asks if that’s allowed, but Emilia brushes it off.

Emilia invites Van to join her on her final “Hermes request” before heading into space, determined to complete it without regrets. At a logistics warehouse, she speaks with a worker about a package she’s come to collect. The worker vaguely recognizes her but can’t place where.

Meanwhile, at a train station, a girl and a man are saying goodbye to another male, wondering if a gift will arrive in time. Emilia rushes to deliver the package just in time, handing it to the departing man.

Later, at a café, Van and Emilia discuss why she took on this delivery. Emilia explains that due to a shipping mix-up, the gift would have arrived too late for the childhood friend leaving on the train. Van is surprised that her final Hermes request is something so ordinary. Emilia laughs, teasing him—what, did he expect it to be some top-secret espionage document? She clarifies that she doesn’t discriminate when it comes to requests.

Just then, Emilia’s long-awaited tiramisu arrives—something she’s been eager to try again but hadn’t had the chance until now. Van jokes if this too is on her bucket list. He notes that it sounds like she's preparing for a life-or-death mission, and Emilia confides that she's placing everything on the line, including her life, to ensure success and live without regrets.

As Van prepares to send her off, he asks if she’s scared. Emilia admits that despite the high success rate of the mission, she is scared—after all, the cost of failure is her life. Van reassures her, reminding her that “Hermes” always comes back.

Emilia kisses Van, asking him to travel with her once it's all over. (Bro, what happened to her doing this with Crow in Rean 2?!!! EMILIAAAAAAA!!!)

-----

Main Story:

After completing all four SPGs, the group returns to the Café to discuss their findings. Van tells Chloe that based on the four SPGs, there are no Remnants. However, Van suspects that the SPG requests themselves were warped with malicious intent to mislead the group. Chloe shares that two individuals linked to the hospital have slight cases of amnesia. Aaron points out that this might be similar to Jeffrey’s case. With this in mind, the group decides to investigate the hospital.

The group heads to the hospital, where Feri and Quatre join the party. Once there, they begin gathering information, though some members, particularly Renne, question how useful Feri will be due to her innocence and naivety. Feri counters this by telling Renne that, in Kruga culture, she's considered an adult. Renne apologizes and says she trusts Feri will come through. An older woman, Ohara, shares that management at the hospital has been changing since last December.

Van talks to Finly, a friend of Paulette’s who had been discussing Maxim with her back in Act 2. Finly reveals that the suspension of certain wards was due to collusion. Both Agnes and Van suspect the previous head’s firing is linked to Almata, especially considering the timing in December.

Yun Ka-Fai arrives at the hospital and chats with the receptionist, Karen. Van recognizes him. Despite the busy atmosphere, Yun Ka-Fai is given a waiting number, 92, and asks Karen out to the Black Cat Café after work. The group wonders about him, and Van explains he had previously met him in Edith.

When talking to Yun Ka-Fai, he mentions that their reunion feels like fate and inquires about Jorda, the girl who used to accompany Van. Van explains he works with Agnes and the others more often than with Jorda. Yun Ka-Fai remarks that it’s a shame but compliments Van on having a beautiful assistant, implying that Van must be quite formidable.

Renne asks where Ka-Fai is from, and he replies "Longlai," though he was actually in Tharbad yesterday on holiday (Kevin 1 Shenanigans). He shares that his subordinates are a handful, so this vacation is his chance to unwind. Quatre observes that Ka-Fai might be as old as Bergard, but their approaches to life are vastly different.

Getting back to business, Van asks Yun Ka-Fai if he noticed anything suspicious. Ka-Fai mentions that during his checkup the previous night, he saw patients skipping the pharmacy, which is unusual since checkups usually come with prescriptions. He also mentions hearing ringing in the hospital, which stopped as soon as he left. Ka-Fai suggests it might be related to air flow, and Quatre explains the science behind it. Renne is impressed by Ka-Fai’s keen perception.

Using this information, they suspect a doctor named Grant is behind the strange occurrences. Van has Quatre use FIO to hack the database and move their names up as patients, causing Karen to wonder how they got ahead of Yun Ka-Fai.

At Grant’s office, Van pulls out the Alter Core and asks if he recognizes it. Risette checks his heartbeat and catches him lying when he denies it. Van pressures him about distributing drugs similar to those from the Almata Incident, noting how Grant bypasses the pharmacy by directly providing medication. Under pressure, Grant chants A-D and becomes empowered. He escapes and casts a white "breath," as Feri describes it, brainwashing everyone in the lobby.

Yun Ka-Fai briefly appears, and both he and Bergard recognize each other. Ka-Fai assists in handling the brainwashed citizens, stating he’ll help for Bergard’s sake, as well as for Van and his team. But most importantly, he’s helping because there are cute girls. Judith, somewhat confused, thanks him for his assistance.

The group heads to the back rooms where Van detects a "smell," prompting Risette to use Shard Search to reveal a hidden door, which Feri opens. Quatre questions why the hospital has a secret lair, as if they’ve stumbled into a spy movie. Renne immediately grasps the situation, explaining that it ties back to the former management’s collusion. Van instructs Agnes to call the police and the guild, while Judith angrily declares that such a thing happening in the garden of the phantom thief won’t go unpunished.

In the hallway, Agnes expresses concern about Ka-Fai, but Bergard reassures her. Van realizes he’s been holding a tachi, and Aaron remarks that now everything makes sense. Upon entering the secret area, they uncover a drug lab using the Agave plant, though it appears in a different color.

The group suspects this ties back to the hospital's mismanagement before December. They mention that if new management had taken over, the lab should have been shut down, but clearly, someone has restarted it. They soon find Grant unconscious.

Delving deeper, they receive a call from Alvis, who informs them that the Guild has arrived at the hospital and warns them not to do anything reckless. Renne finds it reassuring, but they can’t afford to wait. At the lowest level, they discover the Alter Core is enhancing the Agave drug, and they also find the people who had vanished from the Capital. After defeating the thugs, Van senses someone above, and Feri fires at the scaffolding, hitting a cloaked, masked individual.

The man introduces himself as one of the Masked People (Blue), the Provoker, who masterminded the distortion of the 4SPG requests and manipulated Grant.

Another masked figure, the Soldier (Green), appears, catching Feri’s attention. She questions the Soldier’s origins, but the Soldier remains silent and summons the Executor to fight them. The way the Soldier holds her gun reminds Feri of Aida, while the Provoker’s speech patterns reminds Van and Agnes of someone they’ve met (Giacomo)

During the battle, Feri clashes with the Soldier, who acknowledges Feri's skill, remarking that it’s expected of a Kruga neophyte.

After the fight, Agnes checks on Feri, who is puzzled by the Soldier's familiarity. Feri presses the Soldier on her identity, sensing a nostalgic connection in her fighting style. The Provoker then calls upon the Executor to attack again, but Renne attempts to activate Shard barriers, only to be too slow.

Just in time, Yun Ka-Fai arrives in the basement and effortlessly cleaves the Executor in two.

The Provoker hints at triggering the Executor’s other “mode,” but drones summoned by Mirabel intervene, and she appears via projection, stating that both the police and the guild are now at the entrance.

The Soldier retreats, destroying the Executor that Ka-Fai had defeated, and takes the Alter Core, announcing that they’ve finished analyzing everyone’s strength, including Ka-Fai’s. Shortly after, Alvis, Regena, and the police arrive to assist the victims and investigate the basement.

Later, Risette asks Mirabel if she came because the Crisis Management AI flagged Anchorville as a threat. Mirabel confirms but says the situation is currently undetermined. Judith finds this hard to believe, considering the hell of Nemeth Island had been classified as SSS-ranked.

Van and the group thank Ka-Fai for his assistance. Ka-Fai, sensing that Van has connected with one of his wandering disciples (Shizuna) and another apprentice (Rean), reveals to them that he is the founder of the Eight Leaves One Blade style and the former leader of Ikaruga, ending the chapter.

NEW X-MEN SEASON 2 EPISODE 4

EPISODE 4- A WEB OF LIES

WE OPEN UP IN CESSILY AND SOFIA’S ROOM AS CESSILY AND ROXY SNUGGLE TOGETHER. ROXY ADMITS THAT SHE APPRECIATES THE TIME CESSILY PUTS IN TO SPENDING TIME WITH HER, AND CESSILY CHUCKLES, SAYING THAT SHE’S WORTH IT. THE TWO KISS BEFORE CESSILY SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD PROBABLY GET TO CHEERLEADING PRACTICE, AS SOFIA DOESN’T LIKE IT WHEN THEY’RE LATE. THE GIRLS START FOR THE DOOR, BUT WHEN THEY OPEN IT, THEY SEE ALANI STANDING OUTSIDE. SHE SEEMS A BIT SURPRISED THAT ROXY IS THERE AND ACTS FLUSTERED WHILE CESSILY ASSUMES THAT SHE’S THERE TO REMIND THEM OF PRACTICE. ALANI NODS NERVOUSLY WHILE ROXY TELLS HER THAT THEY ALREADY GOT THE MEMO AND WALKS OFF WITH CESSILY.

CESSILY TELLS ROXY THAT SHE WAS A BIT HARSH, BUT SHE SAYS THAT SHE DOESN’T REALLY TRUST ALANI. SOMETHING SEEMS OFF ABOUT HER. AS THEY WALK OFF, ALANI WATCHES THEM BEFORE EMMA FROST SENDS A TELEPATHIC MESSAGE TO HER, SAYING THAT SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE HAS TO DO.

CUE INTRO AND CREDITS

WE TRANSITION OVER TO LAURIE AS SHE EXITS A CLASSROOM. ALL OF A SUDDEN, A BLACK-GLOVED HAND GRABS HER SHOULDER AND SHE WHIRLS AROUND TO SEE KEVIN STANDING BEHIND HER. SHE IMMEDIATELY ASKS HIM WHAT THE HELL HE’S DOING AND KEVIN SAYS THAT HE NEEDS TO TELL HER SOMETHING. LAURIE SIGHS AND ASKS HIM WHAT HIS PROBLEM IS; HE GHOSTS HER FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS IN FAVOR OF HIS NEW SQUAD BUDDIES AND NOW HE SUDDENLY WANTS TO TALK TO HER AND EXPECT TO PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF. KEVIN SIGHS AND BEGINS TO SPEAK.

KEVIN: LOOK, LAURIE, I WANT YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM JOSH. I KNOW THAT THERE’S SOMETHING UP WITH HIM AND I DON’T WANT YOU TO GET HURT. HE’S BAD NEWS, LAURIE.

LAURIE STARES AT HIM, GOBSMACKED.

LAURIE: OH, I GET IT.

KEVIN: YOU DO?

LAURIE: YOU’RE JEALOUS. YOU ABANDON ME FOR THE COOL KIDS AND NOW THAT I HAVE FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF YOU, AND A BOYFRIEND WHO LOVES ME, YOU WANT TO DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO BRING THAT DOWN. THAT’S REALLY SELF-CENTERED, YOU KNOW? I WANNA BE HAPPY, KEVIN. I’VE CHANGED. I’M NOT THE SAME SHY WALLFLOWER WHO WOULD TALK WITH YOU ABOUT SHAWN MENDES ALBUMS IN THE LIBRARY. I’M HAPPY, KEV. SO PLEASE, IF YOU CAN’T ACCEPT THAT, I NEED YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE.

WITH THAT, LAURIE WALKS OFF AND KEVIN WATCHES HER, DETERMINATION IN HIS EYES.

MEANWHILE, SOFIA LEADS THE CHEERLEADERS IN THEIR CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE TO ‘THEY DON’T KNOW’ BY ARIANA GRANDE. AS THE SONG ENDS, SOFIA CONGRATULATES THEM ON THE NEW ROUTINE AND DECIDES TO GIVE A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THEIR NEW MEMBERS; MIRROR GIRL, ALCHEMIST, AND THE STEPFORD SISTERS. AS THEY APPLAUD, MONET COMPLIMENTS SOFIA ON THE NEW ROUTINE, BUT SOFIA SAYS THAT CESSILY CAME UP WITH MOST OF THE CHOREOGRAPHY. THE GIRLS APPLAUD AGAIN AND CESSILY SMILES WHILE ROXY PROUDLY ANNOUNCES THAT SHE’S HER GIRLFRIEND. ALANI SHIFTS UNCOMFORTABLY AT THAT, WHICH MEGAN OBSERVES. SOFIA THEN TELLS THEM ALL THAT THEY CAN LEAVE AND THEY ALL START TO EXIT THE GYM.

AS MEGAN LEAVES, ALANI SAYS THAT SHE NEEDS HER HELP. WHEN MEGAN ASKS HER WHAT SHE NEEDS HELP WITH, ALANI SAYS THAT SHE WAS THINKING OF PUTTING TOGETHER A BRUNCH AND SHE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF MEGAN COULD ASK CESSILY IF SHE WANTS TO GO. MEGAN NODS, A BIT SUSPICIOUS, AS MONET LOOKS AT ALANI IN INTRIGUE, AND SHE ULTIMATELY AGREES TO TALK TO CESSILY.

AS MEGAN FLIES OVER TO CESSILY, MONET GRABS ALANI BY THE SHOULDER AND ASKS HER IF SHE’S LOST HER MIND. ALANI INNOCENTLY ASKS HER WHAT SHE MEANS, BUT MONET TELLS HER THAT SHE’S A TELEPATH AND SHE KNOWS WHAT EMMA SUGGESTED. ALANI TELLS MONET THAT SHE KNOWS, WHICH IS WHY SHE WANTS HER TO DO THE PROCEDURE, WHICH MONET IS HORRIFIED AT.

MONET: ALANI, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. THAT PROCEDURE IS DANGEROUS. YOU SHOULDN’T LET YOUR FEELINGS FOR CESSILY COME BEFORE YOUR COMMON SENSE.

ALANI: YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE THE ADVICE THAT MS. FROST GAVE YOU FAILED AND NOW JULIAN’S WITH THAT GOTH WOLVERINE.

MONET: GOD, ALANI. THE WORLD ISN’T ALL BLACK AND WHITE. I’VE MOVED ON FROM JULIAN. AND YOU SHOULD MOVE ON TOO. CESSILY IS HAPPY WHERE SHE IS, AND THIS PROCEDURE COULD RUIN YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH HER. IT’S BETTER TO ACCEPT CESSILY THE WAY SHE IS RIGHT NOW.

ALANI: MONET, PLEASE JUST DO THE PROCEDURE. I REALLY WANT THIS, AND I NEED A TELEPATH TO DO IT. IF YOU WERE REALLY MY FRIEND, YOU’D DO IT.

MONET SIGHS, AND THEN TELLS ALANI THAT SHE KNOWS WHEN HER MIND’S MADE UP AND SHE’LL DO THE PROCEDURE IF ONLY TO BE A GOOD FRIEND, BUT ALANI HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE’S DOING. ALANI BEAMS AND TELLS MONET THAT THEY’LL MEET AT THE GRIND STONE IN FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE WALKING OFF TO MEET MEGAN AND CESSILY. MONET THEN WALKS UP TO SOFIA AND TELLS HER THAT SHE NEEDS HELP.

SOFIA: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MONET: I THINK… I THINK ALANI’S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING AWFUL. AND I JUST AGREED TO HELP HER.

LATER, CLARICE WALKS ALONG THE HALLWAYS OF XAVIER’S BEFORE RECEIVING A TEXT FROM SOFIA, SAYING THAT SHE’S A BIT BUSY WITH SOMETHING AT THE MOMENT, BUT THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THEIR DATE LATER. CLARICE TEXTS BACK BEFORE ENTERING A CLASSROOM AND MEETING UP WITH TWO MORE STUDENTS. ONE IS A BLUE-SKINNED, POINTY-EARED GIRL WITH THREE FINGERS AND TOES, AND THE OTHER ONE IS A BALD, PALE-SKINNED BOY IN SHORTS AND A HAWAIIAN T-SHIRT THAT READS ‘PARTY NAKED’ ON IT. CLARICE EXCITEDLY GREETS TALIA JOSEPHINE WAGNER AND KEVIN SYDNEY, ALSO KNOWN AS NOCTURNE AND MORPH, WHO BOMBARD HER WITH HUGS.

TJ JOKINGLY SAYS THAT SHE’S GLAD CLARICE COULD TAKE SOME TIME OFF FROM HANGING OUT WITH HER NEW MUTANT BUDDIES WHILE MORPH APPLAUDS CLARICE FOR NOT ONLY SHOWING UP TO COMIC CLUB ON TIME BUT ALSO BEING ABLE TO HIT SOME SEXY LATINA TAIL. TJ WHACKS HIM ON THE ARM WHILE MORPH COMMENTS ON CLARICE’S OBVIOUS SEX HAIR, SAYING THAT SHE’S CLEARLY NOT USED HER BED FOR MUCH SLEEPING, IF SHE WAS EVEN IN HER BED. CLARICE REMINDS MORPH THAT HER SEX LIFE IS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS, BUT MORPH SAYS THAT HE CAN’T HELP IT. AS HE SPEAKS, HE MORPHS INTO A CHALK-WHITE VERSION OF SOFIA WITH PORN-STAR LEVEL LIPS AND BOOBS BEFORE CLARICE GRABS HIM BY THE NECK, MAKING HIM INFLATE LIKE A BALLOON.

TJ GIGGLES BEFORE ASKING WHERE BEAK AND ANGEL ARE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THEY’VE FLAKED AND THEY CAN’T MAKE COMIC CLUB OFFICIAL AND GAIN NEW MEMBERS IF THE OG MEMBERS DON’T KNOW THE VALUES OF PUNCTUALITY. MORPH THEN SAYS THAT HE HASN’T SEEN THEM IN CLASS FOR A WHILE, AND CLARICE WONDERS WHERE THEY ARE. SHE KNOWS HOW EXCITED THEY WERE TO TALK ABOUT MARIA LLOVET AND HOW HER ART REVOLUTIONIZED THE AMOUNT OF SEXUALITY IN COMICS.

SUDDENLY, THE DOOR FLIES OPEN AND BEAK ENTERS, WRINGING HIS HANDS WITH WORRY. HE PACES AROUND THE ROOM RAMBLING SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MIX OF ENGLISH AND SQUAWKING. CLARICE TELLS HIM TO CALM DOWN AND TJ ASKS WHAT’S WRONG. BEAK TELLS THEM THAT HE REALLY MESSED UP AND HE NEEDS THEIR HELP, AND MORPH ASKS WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN COMIC CLUB.

BEAK: OH GOD… OH GOD… I’M SO SORRY, GUYS. I DIDN’T KNOW… I SWEAR I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I DID WHEN I DID IT AND NOW… OH MY GOD… AND NOW ANGEL IS PREGNANT WITH MONSTER BABIES!

THE TRIO LOOK AT HIM IN SHOCK WITH MORPH MIMICKING THE EXPRESSION OF A SHOCKED CARTOON CHARACTER AS BEAK STARTS SQUAWKING AGAIN.

MEANWHILE, MONET, SOFIA, CESSILY, ALANI, AND MEGAN HEAD OVER TO A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP AS CESSILY THANKS ALANI FOR PUTTING THIS BRUNCH TOGETHER. THEY THEN OPEN THE DOOR AND SIT DOWN AT A BOOTH AS SURGE GREETS THEM, DRESSED IN AN APRON.

NORI: WELL I’LL BE DAMNED. MONET ST. CROIX DARES TO ENTER AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT SHE PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO AS A ‘GHETTO STARBUCKS’.

MONET: HEY ASHIDA. LONG TIME, NEVER SPEAK.

NORI CHUCKLES BEFORE MEGAN COMMENTS THAT SHE DIDN’T KNOW SHE WORKED AT THE GRIND STONE. NORI SAYS THAT SHE’S JUST LOOKING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK, BEFORE TAKING THEIR ORDER. SOFIA EXCITEDLY GREETS NORI BEFORE TELLING MONET THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS GO HERE BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL. SHE THEN POINTS OVER TO WHERE DAVID, CAM, AURA, JAY, SOORAYA, LIN, AND LAURIE ARE SITTING AT A BOOTH AND WAVES AT THEM. AFTER TAKING THEIR ORDER, NORI SPEEDS OFF TO THE KITCHEN WHILE CESSILY AND SOFIA WAVE GOODBYE.

MEGAN: JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, ALANI, WHY DID YOU PUT THIS BRUNCH TOGETHER?

ALANI: OH, UH… I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO JUST HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS, ENJOY A LITTLE DOWNTIME, Y’KNOW?

MONET: I BET YOU DID.

SOFIA LOOKS OVER AT MONET BEFORE TURNING TO ALANI, A BIT WORRIED.

MEANWHILE, JOSH CHANGES FOR FOOTBALL PRACTICE BEFORE WALKING OUT WITH BRIAN. AS THEY LEAVE THE LOCKER ROOM, KEVIN SNEAKS IN BEFORE LOOKING AROUND THE LOCKERS. HE THEN NOTICES A KEYCHAIN POKING OUT OF ONE LOCKER AND HE TOUCHES THE LOCK WITH HIS BARE HAND, WITHERING IT. HE THEN PULLS OUT JOSH’S DUFFEL BAG AND RIFLES THROUGH HIS STUFF BEFORE PULLING OUT HIS PHONE. HE THEN LOOKS THROUGH JOSH’S CALL HISTORY BEFORE TAPPING ON A MESSAGE FROM AN UNKNOWN CONTACT, WHICH HE PLAYS.

MESSAGE: JOSH, IT’S RAHNE. RAHNE SINCLAIR. LOOK, I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE. I LIKE YOU. YOU’RE A GREAT GUY, BUT THIS IS WRONG. YOU’RE A STUDENT AND I’M A TEACHER. WE NEED TO STAY PROFESSIONAL. SO I’M SORRY, BUT WE CAN’T SEE EACH OTHER ANYMORE. DON’T CALL OR TEXT ME AND DELETE MY NUMBER FROM YOUR CONTACTS. IT’S OVER. I’M SORRY.

KEVIN PLAYS THE MESSAGE AGAIN AS HIS EYES NARROW.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE TELLS BEAK THAT SHE’S GONNA GO OVER THIS ONE MORE TIME; ANGEL ACCEPTED A BET TO KISS HIM BUT KNEW HOW SAD HE WAS, SO SHE HAD SEX WITH HIM TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER, AND NOW SHE’S PREGNANT ALREADY WITHIN THE SPAN OF FIVE DAYS AND HE THINKS FROST AND CYCLOPS WOULD KICK THEM BOTH OUT IF THEY FOUND OUT. BEAK STARTS TO SOB AS CLARICE SPEAKS AND SAYS THAT HE DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT TOOK FIVE DAYS BETWEEN THE SEX AND THE BIRTH FOR A FLY’S PHYSIOLOGY.

MORPH: HEY, ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT A FLY’S VAGINA LOOKS LIKE!

BEAK STARTS SOB-SQUAWKING AGAIN AS TJ ASKS HIM IF ANGEL IS STILL PREGNANT THEN. BEAK TELLS HER THAT ANGEL HAS ALREADY STARTED LAYING EGGS AND HE COMMENTS THAT THEY’RE LIKE MONSTERS HANGING IN BAGS MADE OF SKIN AND IT’S ALL HIS FAULT. CLARICE SIGHS AND PUTS A HAND ON HIS SHOULDER.

CLARICE: BARNELL, LOOK, THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT, NOR IS IT ANGEL’S. PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES, AND THEY ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR THEM. BESIDES, DANI SAYS THAT YOU’RE AN AMAZING STUDENT. SHE’D NEVER AGREE TO KICK YOU OUT.

MORPH: BESIDES, CLARICE HERE WOULD KNOW A LOT ABOUT ACCIDENTAL, AND SOMETIMES INTENTIONAL, SEX.

WHILE TJ ELBOWS MORPH IN THE GUT, BEAK ASKS WHAT HE SHOULD DO NOW. TJ THEN TELLS HIM THAT THE NEXT MOVE IS SIMPLE; THEY NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE EGGS ARE.

MEANWHILE, CESSILY AND ALANI EXIT THE COFFEE SHOP, LAUGHING. CESSILY THEN TELLS ALANI THAT SHE’S REALLY GLAD SHE PUT THE BRUNCH TOGETHER AND ALANI THANKS HER. CESSILY SAYS THAT SHE’S BEEN WANTING TO HANG OUT WITH ALANI FOR A WHILE, BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE A REALLY FUN PERSON, AND ALANI SMILES IN RESPONSE.

CESSILY REACHES FORWARD TO TOUCH ALANI’S HAND, BUT HER HAND PHASES THROUGH IT, GETTING SHREDDED IN THE PROCESS. AS CESSILY’S HAND FALLS TO THE GROUND, ALANI APOLOGIZES, BUT CESSILY LAUGHS AND SAYS THAT SHE WAS LOOKING TO LOSE A FEW POUNDS ANYWAY. ALANI LAUGHS NERVOUSLY AS CESSILY REABSORBS HER HAND, AND SHE COMMENTS THAT HER POWERS ALWAYS TEND TO GET OUT OF CONTROL WHEN SHE GETS EXCITED. CESSILY SYMPATHIZES WITH ALANI’S INABILITY TO ACT UPON HER FEELINGS, AND SAYS THAT SHE WISHES SHE COULD DO SOMETHING TO HELP.

AS MONET, MEGAN, AND SOFIA EXIT, ALANI TELLS CESSILY THAT SHE’S ACTUALLY HEARD OF A TELEPATHIC PROCEDURE THAT CAN ASSIST IN JUST THIS OCCASION. THE CATCH IS THAT IT NEEDS TWO PEOPLE IN ORDER TO WORK. CESSILY LOOKS OVER AT MONET BEFORE ASKING IF IT’S BASICALLY PSYCHIC SEX. ALANI SHRUGS AND CESSILY LOOKS A BIT NERVOUS, BUT SHE ULTIMATELY ACCEPTS. ANYTHING TO HELP OUT A FRIEND. SOFIA LOOKS OVER AT MONET, WHO SIGHS AND SAYS THAT SHE’LL PERFORM THE PROCEDURE IF THEY BOTH INSIST ON IT, BUT WARNS THEM THAT IT CAN BE… A LOT TO HANDLE. ALANI AND CESSILY NOD AND THE QUINTET GATHER UNDERNEATH A LARGE OAK TREE.

UNDER MONET’S INSTRUCTIONS, CESSILY AND ALANI LIE DOWN ON THEIR BACKS AND CLOSE THEIR EYES. MONET THEN SITS BESIDE THEM AND SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD RELAX THEIR MINDS AND HOLD HANDS. ALANI TIMIDLY REACHES FOR CESSILY’S HAND AND SURPRISINGLY, IS ABLE TO HOLD IT WITHOUT DISASTER. MONET INSTRUCTS MEGAN AND SOFIA TO WATCH THEM BEFORE ASKING AGAIN IF THEY’RE OKAY WITH THIS. ALANI AND CESSILY AGREE AND MONET CLOSES HER EYES. A BLUE LIGHT THEN EMERGES FROM MONET’S HEAD BEFORE REACHING ALANI AND CESSILY’S HEADS WHILE MEGAN AND SOFIA LOOK ON, THE FORMER SEEMING EXCITED WHILE THE LATTER IS MORE WORRIED. MEGAN THEN ASKS WHAT THEY’RE SEEING IN THERE.

WE THEN CUT OVER TO THE ASTRAL PLANE, WHERE ALANI AND CESSILY ARE ENTANGLED IN A PSYCHEDELIC RAPTURE. THEY’RE SURROUNDED BY COLORS AND LIGHT WITH THEIR BODIES TURNING IMMATERIAL AND BATHED IN WARMTH. MONET SAYS THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBCONSCIOUSNESSES ARE BLURRING TOGETHER. NO BORDERS, NO BOUNDARIES, EVERYTHING IS SHARED. EVERY HOPE AND DREAM. EVERY FANTASY. EVERY PLEASURE. EVERY CRY FOR DELIGHT. EVERY SECRET. ALTHOUGH, AS CESSILY AND ALANI’S FORMS ARE ENTWINED TOGETHER, CESSILY LOOKS MORE SAD THEN EUPHORIC.

HOWEVER, AS THEY CONTINUE TO BE ENTANGLED TOGETHER, A DARK RED SPOT EMERGES IN THE ASTRAL. IT SLOWLY STARTS TO GET BIGGER AND BIGGER AND SLOWLY OVERTAKES THE PSYCHEDELIC RAINBOW BEFORE OVERTAKING CESSILY AND ALANI. IN THE REAL WORLD, BOTH GIRLS THRASH AND CRY OUT AS IF THEY’RE HAVING A NIGHTMARE, AND SOFIA ASKS WHAT’S WRONG. MONET SAYS THAT SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT THIS. THEY’RE SHARING TOO MUCH. AND THEIR UGLIEST SECRETS ARE STARTING TO TAKE CONTROL. IF THIS KEEPS UP, THERE WON’T BE ANY OF CESSILY AND ALANI’S PSYCHE LEFT.

SOFIA THEN SAYS THAT SHE’S GOING IN, AND MONET WARNS HER THAT IT’S TOO DANGEROUS. IF SHE GOES IN, SHE RUNS THE RISK OF FRYING HER MIND. SOFIA SHRUGS THIS OFF, SAYING THAT CESSILY IS HER BEST FRIEND. SHE’D DO THE SAME FOR HER. MONET THEN TELLS MEGAN THAT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, SHE SHOULD GO FOR HELP, AND MEGAN NODS, NERVOUSLY. WITH THAT, SOFIA LIES DOWN AND CLASPS CESSILY’S HAND WHILE MONET TOUCHES THE TWO GIRLS’ FOREHEADS.

WHEN MONET AND SOFIA APPEAR IN THE ASTRAL PLANE, THE AREA IS COMPLETELY RED, MADE UP OF CESSILY AND ALANI’S TWISTED PSYCHE. A FEW MILES AWAY, AN ORB LIES, MADE UP OF CESSILY AND ALANI’S WRITHING AND SCREAMING FORMS. SOFIA IS THEN BOMBARDED WITH CESSILY AND ALANI’S VOICES AND CRIES OUT BUT MONET TELLS HER TO FOCUS. IF SHE SUCCUMBS TO THE DARKNESS, HER BODY WILL SUFFER PERMANENT DAMAGE. SOFIA NODS AND MONET SAYS THAT ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS GET TO THE ORB AND TOUCH IT, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. SOFIA SIGHS BEFORE TELLING MONET THAT SHE’S READY. AS THE GIRLS FLY TOWARDS THE ORB, CESSILY AND ALANI’S VOICES SPEAK, OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER, AS THEIR DARK SECRETS ARE EXPOSED.

CESSILY: --WHEN I WAS 4, I BURNED A LITTLE FROG WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS. I KNEW I SHOULD FEEL GUILTY, BUT I ACTUALLY KINDA ENJ--

ALANI: --BARELY KNOW YOU, BUT I GET THIS VIBE LIKE WE CAN BE REALLY HAPPY IF WE JUST DIVE RIGHT IN AND—

CESSILY: --AFTER MOM CALLED ME A FREAK, I SPENT HOURS FANTASIZING ABOUT TURNING TO LIQUID AND JUST… JUST FILLING UP HER MOUTH AND HER NOSTRILS AND HER LUNGS AND—

ALANI: --SO I WAS THINKING FIVE KIDS, THREE GIRLS AND TWO BOYS, MAYBE WE ADOPT A COUPLE MORE, AND—

ALANI AND CESSILY’S THOUGHT REACH SOFIA, CAUSING HER TO SLOWLY BLEED FROM HER NOSE AND EYES. MONET NOTICES THIS, HER NOSE STARTING TO BLEED AS WELL, AND ASKS SOFIA IF SHE’S OKAY. SOFIA TELLS HER THAT SHE’S FINE AND INSISTS THAT THEY KEEP GOING, AS THEY’RE ALMOST TO THE ORB.

CESSILY: --SOMETIMES DREAM ABOUT CUTTING AND CUTTING--

ALANI: --I SWIM IN THE OCEAN AND IT’S… IT’S JUST CALLING… LIKE I JUST WANT TO DISSOLVE INTO THE ENDLESS BLACK AND NOT FEEL ANYTHING—

CESSILY: YOU MOTHERFUCKING MEAT PEOPLE WITH YOUR WARM BLOOD AND BEAUTIFUL SENSES… YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LUCKY YOU ARE—

ALANI: --I DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO DO THIS BUT MS. FROST INSISTED THAT IT WAS FINE AND THAT IT WOULDN’T HURT AT ALL, BUT THIS HURTS SO MUCH AND I JUST NEED—

SOFIA CRIES OUT IN PAIN AS BLOOD POURS FROM HER EYES, NOSE, EARS, AND MOUTH. MONET LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS THAT SHE NEEDS TO GET OUT NOW. THE DAMAGE TO HER BRAIN COULD BE TOO SEVERE IF SHE CONTINUES. SOFIA REFUSES TO LEAVE MONET ALONE, NOTICING THAT SHE’S BLEEDING TOO, BUT MONET INSISTS.

MONET: SOFIA, I KNOW I HAVEN’T BEEN THE BEST FRIEND TO YOU. YOU’RE SWEET AND PRETTY AND I JUST FUCK EVERYTHING UP. IF IT CAME BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, THEY WOULD NEED YOU MORE THAN ME. IF I DON’T MAKE IT OUT, TELL CESSILY, TELL ALANI, TELL EVERYONE THAT… I’M SO SORRY.

SOFIA CRIES OUT TO MONET, WHO CLOSES HER EYES AND EJECTS HER FROM THE ASTRAL. SOFIA WAKES UP IN THE REAL WORLD, WIPING BLOOD AND TEARS FROM HER EYES AND SHE LOOKS AROUND, NOTICING THAT MEGAN ISN’T THERE. SHE LOOKS OVER AT MONET’S UNCONSCIOUS FORM AND STARTS TO PRAY.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE, BEAK, MORPH, AND TJ WALK THROUGH THE WOODS AS CLARICE ASKS BEAK IF HE’S SURE THAT THE EGGS ARE HERE. BEAK NODS, SAYING THAT THEY FOUND AN OLD SHACK HERE THAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE GREAT TO HIDE THE EGGS. TJ NOTICES THE SHACK AND APPROACHES IT, NERVOUSLY. AS SHE TRIES TO OPEN THE DOOR, SHE FINDS OUT THAT IT’S LOCKED AND TELLS THE OTHERS TO STAND BACK. THEY DO SO AND TJ FORMS A BLUE BOLT IN HER HANDS, WHICH SHE USES TO BLAST DOWN THE DOOR. MORPH THEN TURNS INTO A PALE-SKINNED POLICE OFFICER AND DEMANDS THAT WHOEVER’S INSIDE SHOULD PUT THEIR HANDS UP, BUT A FEMALE VOICE YELLS NOT TO SHOOT.

INSIDE THE SHACK, ANGEL SITS CROSS-LEGGED AND SMILING AMONGST MILLIONS OF SMALL FLYING CHILDREN. THEY ALL HAVE ANGEL’S WINGS AND SOME OF BEAK’S FEATURES WITH MOST HAVE HIS FACIAL FEATURES. THE QUARTET’S EXPRESSIONS LIGHTEN AS ANGEL CONTINUES TO BEAM AT THEM, HAPPILY.

ANGEL: THE BAGS BURST, BUT IT’S OKAY NOW. CHECK ‘EM OUT!

MEANWHILE, MONET CONTINUES TO FLY TOWARD THE TWISTED ORB, BOMBARDED WITH SECRETS AND FANTASIES. BLOOD CONTINUES TO POUR FROM HER ORIFICES AS SHE KICKS HER LEGS AND REACHES HER HAND OUT TO TOUCH THE ORB. HER MOUTH OPENS WIDE IN A SCREAM BUT BLOOD POURS OUT INSTEAD. THE MOMENT HER FINGERTIP TOUCHES THE ORB, IT EXPLODES INTO A BRIGHT LIGHT AND MONET FINDS HERSELF BACK IN THE REAL WORLD, WITH CESSILY AND ALANI WAKING UP BEFORE STARING AT EACH OTHER, SHOCKED.

ALANI: Y-Y-YOU’RE SICK! YOU’RE TWISTED ON THE INSIDE!

CESSILY: I’M SICK?! YOU LIED TO ME! Y-YOU TOOK MY FEELINGS ABOUT YOU AS A FRIEND AND YOU FUCKING VIOLATED IT! YOU MANIPULATED ME! PLAYED WITH MY FEELINGS! YOU RAPED MY MIND BECAUSE YOU KNEW I WOULD WANT TO HELP YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A GOOD FRIEND AND YOU DIDN’T CARE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN! AND NOW YOU WANNA PLAY THE VICTIM BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAW IN MY HEAD?! WELL GUESS WHAT?! MY HEAD IS FUCKED UP! FUCKING DEAL WITH IT!

ALANI: F-FUCK YOU! YOU’RE EVIL! YOU’RE A MONSTER! YOU’RE INSA-

CESSILY: NO, YOU’RE THE INSANE ONE! YOU’RE A LYING SLUT AND A BITCH! Y-YOU LIED TO ME AND BETRAYED MY FUCKING TRUST! YOU’RE A BAD FRIEND AND A TERRIBLE PERSON! I HATE YOU, ALANI! YOU’RE A SNAKE! A LYING, SELFISH, MANIPULATIVE SNAKE!

WITH THAT, CESSILY RUNS AWAY IN TEARS WITH ALANI STORMING OFF IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. SOFIA IMMEDIATELY RUNS AFTER CESSILY AND MONET WAITS FOR A WHILE BEFORE MAKING UP HER MIND AND RUNNING AFTER HER TEAMMATE.

MEANWHILE, MORPH AND TJ PLAY WITH THE BABIES WHILE BEAK COMMENTS THAT IN HIS DREAMS, HE WOULD SEE AN ARMY OF MONSTERS SHOUTING ‘FATHER!’ BUT THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL. ANGEL LAUGHS AND SAYS THAT SHE’S GONNA NAME THEM AFTER THE JACKSON FAMILY BEFORE SAYING THAT ONE LITTLE FREAK LOOKS ABOUT AS CUTE AND USELESS AS BEAK, WHO COMMENTS ON THE WINGSPAN OF ANOTHER LITTLE GUY.

CLARICE KNEELS DOWN AND REACHES OUT TO THE CHILD IN ANGEL’S LAP BEFORE TELLING THEM THAT THEY SHOULD’VE BEEN HONEST FROM THE BEGINNING. ANGEL SAYS THAT SHE WAS WORRIED THAT THEY’D GET KICKED OUT, SINCE THERE’S NEVER BEEN A STUDENT AT XAVIER’S WHO’S GOTTEN PREGNANT. CLARICE AGREES, BUT SAYS THAT SINCE IT’S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, THEY SHOULD AGREE TO HELP IF A SITUATION LIKE THIS EVER ARISES AGAIN. SHE AGREES TO TALK TO DANI TO SEE IF THEY CAN LIVE HERE AND MAYBE THEY COULD SKIP SOME CLASSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN. MORPH THEN SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME IF BEAK AND ANGEL ARE TOO BUSY, AND PLUS, “UNCLE MORPHIE” NEEDS TO BE THERE FOR THE KIDS. TJ ALSO VOLUNTEERS TO HELP SPIFF THE PLACE UP AND MAKE IT MORE FAMILY-FRIENDLY AND CLARICE COMES UP WITH THE IDEA OF SIGNING THEM UP FOR THE LOWER SCHOOL SO THAT XUAN CAN HELP WHILE BEAK AND ANGEL ARE AT SCHOOL.

ANGEL AND BEAK THANK THEM FOR THEIR HELP AND CLARICE ASKS IF THEY’RE GOING TO STAY TOGETHER. THEY BOTH SMILE AND SAY THAT THEY HATED XAVIER’S AT FIRST, BUT THERE IS ONE THING THAT THEY LOVE ABOUT IT, AND IT’S THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND EACH OTHER.

MEANWHILE, SOFIA SEARCHES FOR CESSILY, EVENTUALLY FINDING HER CRYING. AS SHE ASKS CESSILY IF SHE’S OKAY, CESSILY TELLS HER THAT SHE’S NOT OKAY. SHE’S NEVER BEEN OKAY. SHE FEELS LIKE A MONSTER AND KNOWS THAT EVERYONE WILL REJECT HER ONCE ALANI TELLS. EVEN ROXY WILL LOOK AT HER LIKE A FREAK AMONG FREAKS.

SOFIA: CESSILY, I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL—

CESSILY: NO YOU DON’T! HOW COULD YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW HOW I FEEL?! YOU’RE THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN SCHOOL! YOU’RE POPULAR, YOU HAVE FAMILY WHO LOVES YOU! YOU COULD NEVER KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WAKE UP ONE MORNING A FREAK! MY PARENTS LOVED ME! I WAS EVERYTHING TO THEM! AND THEN WHEN I GOT MY POWERS, THEY DIDN’T SEE ME AS THEIR PRECIOUS GIRL ANYMORE! THEY JUST SAW ME AS A FREAK! YOU SHOULD SEE HOW QUICKLY THEY SENT ME TO XAVIER’S WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT! I… NO ONE LOVES ME! NO ONE EVER WILL!

SOFIA STARTS TO CRY AND PUTS A HAND ON CESSILY’S SHOULDER.

SOFIA: CESSILY, LOOK AT ME. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE LOVED. ROXY LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD, AND I KNOW YOU’D NEVER CHASE ME OR HER OR ANYONE AWAY. I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE REJECTED AND I KNOW THAT IT MAY MAKE YOU AFRAID TO TRY TO FORM A MEANINGFUL CONNECTION, BUT I’M HERE FOR YOU. I WILL ALWAYS BE. YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND, CESSILY. AND I LOVE YOU. WARTS AND ALL.

CESSILY COLLAPSES INTO SOFIA’S ARMS, CRYING AND SOFIA HUGS HER. AFTER A WHILE, CESSILY WIPES AWAY TEARS AND SNOT AND THANKS SOFIA FOR HELPING HER. SOFIA THEN ASKS IF SHE’S READY TO GO AND CESSILY NODS, STANDING UP WITH SOFIA’S HELP.

MEANWHILE, MONET FINDS ALANI BESIDE THE COFFEE SHOP. ALANI SWIPES AWAY TEARS AND TELLS MONET THAT CESSILY’S RIGHT. SHE’S A LIAR AND A SNAKE. SHE REFLECTS ON HOW SHE BETRAYED CESSILY’S TRUST AND VIOLATED HER MIND. SHE KNOWS THAT SHE HAD NO RIGHT TO INTRUDE UPON CESSILY’S SECRETS AND SHE SHOULD’VE BEEN HAPPY TO HAVE HER AS A FRIEND. AS MONET SITS DOWN, ALANI TAKES OUT A VAPE PEN AND PLACES IT TO HER LIPS, BLOWING A STREAM OF SMOKE FROM THEM AS SHE ASKS MONET IF SHE THINKS SHE’S A BAD FRIEND.

MONET: ALANI, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE UNABLE TO TOUCH ANYONE. NOT LONG AGO, SOMEONE DID SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO ME. THEY TRAPPED ME INSIDE A HOLLOW SHELL, UNABLE TO TOUCH ANYONE WITHOUT CAUSING THEM PAIN. I LIVED THAT WAY FOR A WHILE, UNABLE TO SPEAK OR TOUCH ANYONE. THAT WAS MY CURSE. THAT WAS MY PENANCE. I WAS NEVER THE SAME EVEN AFTER I WAS FREED. THE TWO OF US, WE’RE UNTOUCHABLE. BUT WE DON’T HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE THAT WAY. WE CAN BE BETTER.

ALANI LOOKS UP AND STARTS TO SMILE. SHE SAYS THAT WHEN THE YEAR BEGAN, SHE REALIZED SHE WAS BISEXUAL. SHE WANTED SOMEONE TO LOVE HER AND SHE THOUGHT ABOUT HOW GOOD A FRIEND CESSILY WAS TO HER. BUT SHE SAW HOW HAPPY SHE WAS WITH ROXY AND SHE WAS JEALOUS. BUT SHE KNOWS THAT DEEP DOWN, SHE SEES CESSILY AS A GOOD FRIEND AND SHE WANTS TO STAY THAT WAY. MONET STANDS UP AND OFFERS HER HAND TO ALANI, WHO STANDS UP AND GIVES HER A HUG.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, SOFIA AND CESSILY MEET ALANI AND MONET. SOFIA REMINDS CESSILY NOT TO LET ALANI GET TO HER, AND CESSILY WALKS UP TO HER.

CESSILY: ALANI, I’M REALLY SORRY. I SHOULD’VE-

ALANI: YOU HAVE NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR. I SHOULD’VE BEEN A BETTER FRIEND. I… I SHOULDN’T HAVE PRESSURED YOU INTO THIS. I’M VERY TRULY SORRY.

THE TWO GIRLS HUG.

ALANI: SO, STILL FRIENDS?

CESSILY: QUID PRO QUO, CLARICE. YOU DON’T TELL ANYONE ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW IN THE ASTRAL PLANE. THOSE ARE MY SECRETS AND I’LL TELL THEM TO ROXY WHEN I WANT TO.

ALANI: DEAL.

CESSILY: AND I, FOR ONE, AM SO GLAD THAT YOU’RE THINKING OF COMING OUT, BUT I CAN’T RECIPROCATE YOUR FEELINGS. I’M HAPPY WITH ROXY. BUT I CAN HELP YOU FIND SOMEONE ELSE. SOMEONE WHO YOU CAN LOVE.

ALANI: WELL… I WAS THINKING OF ASKING SUDI OUT. WE’VE BEEN PRETTY CLOSE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, MEGAN DASHES OVER, RED-FACED AND PANTING, AS SHE DRAGS A CONFUSED TRAFFIC WARDEN BY THE COLLAR. SHE’S SWEATING LIKE CRAZY AND LOOKS HALF-CRAZED.

MEGAN: I COULDN’T FIND A POLICE OFFICER SO I GOT A TRAFFIC WARDEN! WRITE THEM ALL A TICKET!

SOFIA GIGGLES BEFORE TELLING MEGAN THAT THEY’VE CLEARED EVERYTHING UP, AND MEGAN RELAXES, ASKING IF THEY CAN GO HOME NOW. THE GIRLS START TO WALK BACK TO THE SCHOOL AND CESSILY AND ALANI START TO TALK TOGETHER. SOFIA IS ABOUT TO JOIN THEM WHEN MONET STOPS HER.

MONET: I TRUST YOU SAW THAT SECRET OF ALANI’S, RIGHT?

SOFIA: YES. EMMA FROST WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD ALANI TO DO THE PROCEDURE. JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU AND JULIAN.

MONET: I KNOW SHE MEANS WELL, BUT…

SOFIA: I KNOW. WHO ELSE DID SHE AGREE TO HELP?

MONET: WELL, EDIE, MARCOS, SUDI, AND MARK JUST WANTED HELP ON CLASSWORK, SO THE ONLY OTHER ONE WHO WANTED HELP IN THE OTHER WAY WAS… KEVIN.

SOFIA: THEN WE NEED TO FIND HIM BEFORE HE DOES SOMETHING HE’LL REGRET.

AS THEY WALK HOME, ‘PIANO MAN’ BY BILLY JOEL STARTS TO PLAY. WE SEE TJ, DANI, AND MORPH HELPING BEAK AND ANGEL FIX UP THE SHACK AND SOME OF THE BABIES PITCH IN AS WELL. THE COUPLE EMBRACES, SMILING HAPPILY. MEANWHILE, ALANI FLOPS ONTO HER BED, LOOKING OVER AT A NOTE FROM MIRROR GIRL SAYING THAT SHE GOT INVITED TO A PARTY AND SHE’LL BE BACK LATE. ALANI THEN PULLS OUT HER PHONE AND STARTS TO TEXT SUDI, ASKING IF SHE’D LIKE TO GO OUT WITH HER SOME TIME. WHEN SHE SENDS THE TEXT, SHE WRITES ANOTHER ONE THAT CLARIFIES THAT SHE MEANS TO ASK HER ON A DATE, BUT SHE HESITATES. HER FINGER HOVERS OVER THE SEND BUTTON AND SHE BITES HER LIP, NERVOUS, BUT SHE EVENTUALLY LOOKS DETERMINED AND SENDS THE MESSAGE, WAITING FOR SUDI TO TEXT BACK.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE AND SOFIA LIE IN BED, AS CLARICE TELLS SOFIA THAT SHE LOOKS HAPPY. SOFIA SMILES AND SAYS THAT SHE’S NOTICED THE SAME ABOUT CLARICE, WHO SAYS THAT SHE DID A GOOD THING TODAY. SOFIA SAYS SHE DID TOO AND THE TWO KISS BEFORE PROCEEDING TO HAVE SEX. MEANWHILE, ROXY LOOKS OVER AT A SMILING CESSILY AND ASKS WHAT’S UP. SHE JUST KISSES HER AND SAYS THAT SHE JUST CAN’T IMAGINE LIFE GETTING ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

WE THEN CUT OVER TO ONE FINAL SCENE AS JOSH KISSES LAURIE GOODNIGHT. LAURIE SAYS THAT CLARICE IS PROBABLY HOOKING UP WITH SOFIA AGAIN AND ASKS IF MAYBE JOSH COULD SPEND THE NIGHT WITH HER. JOSH SAYS NO, HE HAS A TEST TOMORROW AND NEEDS TO SLEEP, BUT ASSURES LAURIE THAT THEY’LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TOMORROW. AS LAURIE CLOSES THE DOOR, JOSH STARTS TO WALK TOWARD HIS ROOM BUT KEVIN WALKS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

JOSH: THE FUCK, KEVIN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

KEVIN: I’LL CUT TO THE CHASE. YOU’RE GOING TO BREAK UP WITH LAURIE.

JOSH: WHAT? ARE YOU ON CRACK? WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON KEVIN AS HE GIVES JOSH A DEVIOUS, SHIT-EATING GRIN.

KEVIN: BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T, I’LL TELL THE ENTIRE SCHOOL ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE DOING WITH RAHNE SINCLAIR LAST SEMESTER. AND YOU’LL GET EXPELLED!

Caspars whole scenario about Lufftrax ruling over the triad was absolutely amazing. 10/10 writing. literally my favorite part of the episode

I think the reason I've fallen in love with Dead End: Paranormal Park so quickly is because I can relate to the characters so easily. Like I relate to Barney, being flustered about people you like and running away from problems. I totally get that. But I also relate to his situation and how his parents are accepting but that's where it ends. They don't stand up for him against people who "don't get it" . And I relate to Norma and how she doesn't always get social cues and how she overshare about one topic whenever possible. I totally do that when someone brings up something that I love. it's kinda the only time you can get me to talk without completely overthinking everything I say. So yeah I love this show and I love these characters. Thanks to the creators for bringing them to life :)

I need more people to like Rat. He (?) is lovely and I know they're a creature and they (?) were involved in a cult but he just seems unhinged and that's how I like my characters. He reminds me of Kevin from Welcome to Night Vale!

Heheheh

Also since Nancy would probably still praise him to hell and call him cool, she'd probably have to explain what most of her praises meant to Amnesiac Kevin. And he'd get all happy over it, and would even try to start praising her back just as much as she did him at some point.

AWWWW

Cue Nancy getting even MORE flustered

can you write about andrew calling neil captain as a joke but he likes it so much that andrew regularly call him it in bed

~~~

“Just shut up unless you want ten more laps.”

“Damn Neil,” started Nicky, making a gesture of zipping his lips up. “Didn’t know you were as bad as Kevin.”

“Fifteen.”

“Shutting up now.”

Sighing, Neil brushed away the curls of hair falling in front of his eyes before leaving Nicky to his lunges. With Dan and Kevin on some sort of promotional trip for the day, Neil was left to lead the foxes’ training. Granted, the idea sounded much better as just that— an idea. But no one could deny⁠— he was effective.

Blonde and black on orange caught in the corner of his eye, and with a quick jog, he arrived at the other end of the court.

“Having fun?”

Leaned against the goal was Andrew, plucking at the net of his racket with a disinterested look on his face.

“Actually, yes,” replied Neil. They’d barely started, yet Neil’s shirt was already sticking to his torso with sweat. “Are you planning on doing anything?”

“Not if I can help it.”

“Just a few rounds?”

“Hope must be a blinding thing.”

“Fine,” said Neil, pulling a light scowl. “But you’re covering the goal so the rest of them can practice.”

“Yes captain.”

The word was barely uttered, yet Neil heard it loud and clear over the chatter behind them. His face flushed a deep red and for a split second he froze. To his embarrassment, Andrew seemed to have picked up on it, raising an eyebrow.

��Flustered much?”

“Shut up.”

“Or I’ll get ten laps?”

Neil simply replied with a glare.

~~~

For an strenuous hour (though they’d all have sworn it was two), Neil went on yelling orders to the others. If they were being honest, practice was slightly irritating, possibly because of Neil’s favouritism to a certain blond goalkeeper. But no one could deny; it was almost the most effective they’d been in weeks.

That being said, they were still exhausted, practically dragging themselves out of court. And after a tiring morning of practice, Neil would have been perfectly content spending the rest of the day on Andrew’s lap, or skimming through a math textbook that Nicky had once threatened to burn.

“Wait— Neil hasn’t been to the ice cream place on fifth street, has he?”

But apparently, Nicky had other ideas. Neil sighed redundantly.

“Really?” Asked Matt, frantically turning to face Neil. “Have we seriously never taken you?”

“No, but I don’t really⁠—”

"Well, would you like to⁠—” started Renee, quickly interrupted.

“We’re going now! And you,” emphasised Nicky, pointing directly at Neil, his finger just falling short of Neil’s chest. “Are coming with us.”

With a helpless look on his face, Neil turned to Andrew for some sort of help. But Andrew merely shrugged and turned to Neil. “Have a problem, captain?”

After almost missing his step and falling flat on his face, Neil resisted the very strong urge to roll his eyes.

“As a matter of fact,” started Neil, making deliberate eye contact with Andrew’s unbothered face. “No, I don’t. We’re going.”

That seemed to elicit some sort of reaction from Andrew, even if it were only his eyebrows twitching up slightly in surprise. Neil took it as success, though his satisfaction was quickly wiped away by the rest of their smiling faces rushing him to the car.

Though he wouldn’t admit how contagious their excitement was.

~~~

If Neil was being honest, the place wasn’t half bad.

With bright blue walls and an overenthusiastic waiter, it was practically trademark to the underclassmen, and came with no surprise. Squeezing into a booth, he was grateful for the way Matt next to him tried his best in a feeble attempt to give Neil some space. Neil threw a glance at Andrew, who seemed surprisingly void of regret.

“No, shut up Neil,” started Allison.

“I didn’t— ”

Aggressively, she shushed him with a finger to her lips. “I’m ordering for you. Because a plain vanilla ice cream is not an acceptable choice.”

The way she said it, you’d think Neil had committed a war crime.

“Don’t worry about Allison—” said Nicky, waving her off. “This place is her lifeforce, just smile and wave is my advice.”

Neil noted the way he seemed to have perfectly mastered the art of ignoring Allison shooting daggers with her stares.

Daggers turned to smiles as the waiter came over to the table. As if on script, each person recited their order on cue— except for Neil, whose pleading look was unfortunately not enough to bag a choice.

With a glance, Neil observed as Allison sent a wary glare to Andrew, waiting for his order. And he watched as her look went from wary to puzzled with his dry response.

“Tell the captain to choose for me.”

No words in any of the numerous languages Neil knew were strong enough to describe the feelings that flew through Neil, all at once.

The emphasis on a certain word was obvious, and Nicky’s stare was uncomfortably knowing. And Neil certainly wasn’t the only one blushing faintly.

Only Renee seemed utterly unfazed. “I’d suppose that’s Neil?”

At Neil’s scowl she responded, “…as he’s the captain of the team for the time being, of course?”

Watching tense faces melt slowly, Neil sent a much more grateful look, for which he was rewarded with a glowing smile.

“The same for him, please.”

“So…” started Nicky. “Practice was hard, huh?”

“No,” mumbled Allison. “The captain was.”

“Well I for one have no doubt that Neil would make a delightful captain.”

Neil passed a small smile to Renee.

“As long as we’ve all graduated before.”

“Well, Allison,” started Neil. “It’s not my fault you were sloppy on your—”

“It’s not my fault you left us too tired after warm ups to actually play anything decently!”

“I agree with her, actually,” added Nicky.

“Oh really? Because you weren’t perfect eith —"

“I was glowing, thank you very much.”

The deadpan stare on Neil’s face was answer enough. Allison tried to hide her grin. Something about a riled up Neil was so easily entertaining. And somewhere at the edge of the seat, Andrew shared a glance with Renee, silently thinking the same thing.

Eventually amongst the bickering, came a voice. “Your orders are here, ma’am.”

The waiter looked baffled— so baffled that Neil had to let out a chuckle. Placing down the ice creams that looked too large to be real onto the tables, he disappeared almost as quickly as he came.

“Well,” started Renee, trying to break the silence. “What are Andrew’s thoughts on practice?”

Perking up ever-so-slightly, Andrew said smoothly. “I was just obeying the captain.”

And with that, he ignored the almost flustered breath Neil took in as he shot a world-class glare. If looks could kill, almost everyone at the table would certainly be in danger. Most certainly Andrew.

But his stare was as blank as ever.

~~~

If Neil knew how the evening would turn out, maybe he wouldn’t have pushed himself to exhaustion during training.

Sprawled over the floor with his math book laid out in front of him he flicked through the pages, skimming the pages disinterestedly. Every couple seconds— though he wouldn’t admit it⁠— he stole glances of Andrew, staring vaguely into the air. Numbly, his mind was going over the events of the day, and Neil couldn’t help a certain, faint blush that overcame certain moments.

When the keys jangled, and Nicky left the house, a small glance was shared between the two. Funnily enough, the bed seemed awfully empty all of a sudden.

It started out with small kisses. Andrew’s lips were soft against Neil’s— something that he was grateful for, what with being thoroughly exhausted.

Fingers trailed over bare skin, and with every small touch, Neil felt his breath quiver. With sudden contact, Neil felt his back against the wall. Letting a heated breath out, he felt Andrew’s lips travel over his neck and collarbone, exploring his skin. With Neil’s elbows resting on his shoulders, he let Andrew lead the way.

Soft kisses gradually became more passionate, until both of them were ready for more. Meeting Andrew’s eyes, Neil pushed back ruffled strays of auburn hair.

“Yes or no?”

“Yes, captain.”

The sigh that escaped him was answer enough.

mutuals as tbz members

Hi anon! Thank you for giving me a TBZ game <3

@jaembluey - Changmin. The reasons are obvious, he looks like a cutie, but in reality, he's the spawn of Satan who finds Chucky cute. Meri is known for her ✨duality✨, not to mention Changmin is her bias.

@deobis-moon - Sunwoo. Yuki is known for being a HUGE flirt and so is Sunwoo. Not to mention their common boldness and self-confidence, pls share some with me bestie😩

@delicatewerewolfsoul - Sangyeon. I SWEAR, VICKY JUST RADIATES LEADER ENERGY AND THAT'S HOT. She's also very responsible and caring, not to mention her patience *cough* dilf energy *cough*

@oifelixcmerebrou - Younghoon. Linnie is a precious cinnamon roll who is so wholesome and must be protected at all costs, just like Younghoon😭

@moonshineboyz - Chanhee. As far as I know, Chanhee is the one who gets bullied the most in TBZ and same goes for Sun in the deobis squad lmao. Aside from that tho, Sun has a really good aesthetic and she knows how to take pictures, just like Chanhee juyeon take notes you mf

@heephoriia - Kevin. Vienna has a very artistic nature, as she's well-versed in various forms of art, such as photography and music. Kevin is very artistic as well and we've seen perfect examples of that. Also, they have both peak gen z behaviour, I said what I said✋

@badboyjuyeon - Juhaknyeon. Afia is a sweetheart and I'm 100% sure she's gorgeous too. Even tho she's not always active, she knows the right time to come and make your mood

@sleepylixie - Juyeon. There's not much explanation needed, Elliana just has that very attractive and sexy aura, just like Juyeon himself. They're both Capricorns, very hard-working and perfectionists. They are also hot😩

@daystiny - Jacob. Yav is a sweetheart and an angel, she will literally rush to your inbox to comfort you, just like Jacob *cue that Eric Nam interview where he said he would shave his eyebrows if it meant for Kevin to meet Beyoncé*

@sainthwngs - Eric. Kiyo is a very energetic person and she has that mischievous side to her, but she also gets flustered very easily. Strong maknae energy too.

@kaisuk-a - Hyunjae. Kai is generally a reserved person except for the times he screams over TBZ lmao. Don't let him fool you tho, he WILL ATTACK YOU OUT OF NOWHERE FOR NO REASON. Kinda sneaky, like Hyunjae, but also hot I said what I said✋

#anon asks #cute anons💖#ask games #this was sitting in my drafts for nearly a MONTH💀

Pack verse: how does Kevin tell Nico that he’s pregnant with Ava, and how does Nico react? 🥺

And: given how emotionally constipated these two are and the fact that they just hurt each other constantly before they got together, did their arguments ever come to a head where one of them was legit just sad and hurt?

Okay bow hear me out, there are two options 👁👁

First of all, Kevin just tells Nico one night and Nico goes full error but hugs him impossibly tightly after as they both sniffle a bit

They are having one of their dumb arguments again, idk maybe about Nico eating the last of Kevin's fav snack, and in the middle of their screaming match Kevin just goes "I'M FUCKING PREGNANT I NEED TO EAT FOR TWO TOU ASSHOLE" before storming out. Cue to Nico being bamboozled but happy and driving around for hours buying more of the snack he finished, and then going to where Kevin in sulking in his nest and just softly offering the snacks while trying to not burst from excitement 🥺 And Kevin just smiles softly and lifts his top so Nico can talk to his belly while he munches on one of the snacks sksk

Also, regarding the second question, they definitely take it too far at times, and especially Kevin is more sensitive than he tries to show. Like some fights end up with Kevin just being flustered and scared and hiding away until Nico finds him and gently coaxes him out again, apologising furiously until Kevin sinks into his hold again🥺

Okay I genuinely have no clue how this would happen but do you think we could get some interactions between and Hannah and the Boyz or Hannah and Eric Nam?

hmmm i don’t know too much about the boyz to feel confident to write about them (though one of my closest friends is a huge fan) i can give you this

(im basing this off of what my friend says and that one weekly idol episode hosted by hyuck and johnny)

she’s friends with kevin and jacob (she doesn’t call either of them oppa) and also eric bc english line

she does sometimes exchange drawings with kevin, and he gives her tips bc she’s more used to fashion design rather than actual drawings

she and eric clown each other’s aegyo ngl

juyeon has like an idol crush on her

hyuck on that one weekly idol episode “i heard juyeon-ssi is a fan of nct’s hannah? what do you want with my twin?”

and cue flustered juyeon and english line plus johnny laughing their asses off

then when she arrived to switch places with hyuck when he had a schedule he just “juyeon-ssi, i’m watching you”

oh yeah she helped host that weekly idol episode with johnny and donghyuck

with eric nam, they’re pretty okay friends like eric sees hannah like he sees yoonmi aksjdh

he had her feature on his song you, who? back in 2017

some people forget about it but it’s a gem

he even invited her on his podcast once and she just

“i heard you wanted mark here though? i guess i should just leave?” “no hannah what are you talking about?”

their friendship is pretty lowkey, so there isn’t much content with them aside from you who

eric does check on hannah every now and then with a simple text message

he’s like a cousin to her, close but don’t need to talk all the time

#hannah.request #ask.hannah #hannah.misc #nct 24th member #nct dream 8th member #nct female member #nct female addition #hannah #lee hannah

niche(tm) fox headcanons:

nicky has 392350 keyrings on every set of keys he owns. 50% because he always loses them. 50% because everytime erik gives him a tiny horrendously bad plastic rendition of wolverine bc it ‘reminded me of u babe!’ he has no choice but to Love and Cherish it

allison hates horror films but would rather die than break her cold bitch demeanor so she just quietly chants fuck u fuck u to whatever demonic entity is on the screen

neil is quite flexible. has somehow never needed the ability to spontaneously drop backwards into the crab and is mad about it. not even ONCE

andrew says he hates theme parks and he does but mostly because he knows. deep down. he wouldnt be let on any of the big cool fucking rides

dans a real girls girl at heart. treats herself once a month to a fresh set of nails and gets Hugely Pissed Off if u make her break one

aaron is so fucking good in a quiz. like andrews got the memory yes but aarons unquenchable thirst for Knowledge? unparalleled ! half the foxes ‘get rich quick’ schemes are just submitting aaron to various game shows

kevin is slightly colour blind. not usually an issue until him and andrew grab for the same toothbrush (cue killbill sirens)

the basketball team keep trying to recruit matt and he gets so flustered he doesnt know what to do. once tried to hide behind neil. tragically embarrassing for everyone present

renee smokes weed

all the foxes: about to kill each other

renee (taking a massive rip from her bong): lets all just be friends :)

#do i have actual well thought out drafts i could be posting? yes but thats not the point!!!!!!!!!#neil josten #andrew minyard #kevin day #matt boyd #aaron minyard #dan wilds #allison reynolds #nicky hemmick #renee walker #aftg #all for the game

I’LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN

PART 2 PART 3 PART 4 PART 5

Pairings: Ji Changmin (Q) X Reader X Jaehyun (Hyunjae) Ft Kevin Moon Genre: Fluff x Angst Word count: 3,865 words

Summary: A talent show will take place in three week times and you still struggling with putting emotion in the song that you choose, a masterpiece by Lady Gaga, ‘I’ll never love again’. You meet Changmin who you fall for instantly after he jumps in to help you figuring out how to perform the song. Will he manage to help you? Or will he be the one who cause you to sing the song for him?

Image are not mine. Credit to Google.

Don’t wanna feel another touch

Don’t wanna start another fire

Don’t wanna know another kiss

No other name falling off my lips

Don’t wanna give my heart away

To another stranger

Or let another day begin

Won’t even let the sunlight in

Your finger halted playing the piano as you keep hitting the wrong key and you apologize to your vocal coach that already displease with your mistakes. You were about to start again from the top but your vocal coach stop you by raising his hand. He heaved a deep sigh before start talking. Which you know won’t be a good comment. “Minus the mistake, your voice was great and all. But you need to put some emotion to it Y/N. You sound soulless. Just like a robot. Maybe you should consider singing another song. Because this will be your last performance and if you couldn’t pull this off..” He trailed.

“People put high hopes on you Y/N, and they’re pretty excited after knowing that you’ll be performing solo this year.” His words cut you ego deep in front of your classmate. You were always known for a good singer with a lavish golden voice and everyone adores you for that because your mini acoustic band together with Kevin and Jacob always played by the campus garden covering tons of songs. But the comment about your lack of emotion from him always hurts you. You could just say that you never dated before as excuse but you’re too shy to admit that in front of every one. Maybe that is the reason why you couldn’t really feel the song and it scares you that he probably just ask another student to perform solo and put you in the choir instead. You stayed after class dismissed and practice the song repeatedly with and without the piano.

Changmin

“This not it.” He mumbles after realizing that he had entered the wrong floor after decided to pay Sunwoo a surprise visit because he didn’t came for his graduation day and even on his College entrance. In the midst of looking for the stairs to head down, his ears caught a sweet voice singing a song that he known from the movie Shallow without any music that echoes throughout the empty corridor alluring him. His feet drag him following the sound of the voice to a slightly ajar door where the voice came from. He peeked inside and saw a girl in a casual black sweatshirt and skinny jeans, her thick red hair that was pull up into a messy bun flaunts her pale complexion perfectly just like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. She was pouting her tinted red lips while reading what he recognizes as a music sheet.

He was stunned when she opened her mouth and starts to sing the chorus in falsetto while seating down effortlessly, she put back the music sheet on the piano and starts to play while singing, but she wasn’t into the song because she keeps focusing on her finger washing the emotion away from the song. When she tries to put back the emotion, she keeps hitting the wrong keys on the piano. She stops abruptly slamming the lid shut before resting her head on the on top of the lid. He knows how she felt because he tends to hit the wrong key when he first learns to play one. He know how frustrated it was and how hard to play while singing. He steps into the room on instinct standing a few feet behind her.

“I think if you can’t do both, you can just focus on your singing. Playing the piano seems to distract your emotion.” He giggled when she jumps a little startled by him and he was quick to apologize.

Y/N

You jumped hard when you saw a man with a cheeky grin stood behind you out of nowhere. You lean back your head on the lid as you caress your chest.

“I’m sorry I startled you. Here, let me help.” He sat next to you without even asking for your permission and pulls the music sheet to his side of the piano before opening the lid and starts to play the intro. His shoulder touches yours giving you the perfect warmth replacing the coldness that has been taking over your body from the cold of the room. He then looks at you and nods slowly to give you cue to start and you sing to the melody until the end of the song. He smiles proudly flaunting his deep adorable dimple and give you a clap.

“How long have you played the piano?” He asked backing away from you making a little space between you two so it would be easier for him to converse without being too close. and there goes the warmth too.

“About a month.” You tilt your head to the side looking at his smile that never left his lips from the start. It was contagious that you couldn’t help to smile back.

“A month? Wow, I couldn’t even say a word while playing at my first month.” He closes the lid and put his elbow on top of it before resting the side of his head on his knuckles. You got a little flustered by his simple compliments which making him giggle. But you’re quick to deny.

“No, not really. If I was that good, you won’t be coming in to the rescue. Thank you by the way. I guess you were right, I should focus on one thing first.” You look to your sweaty palm as you’re starts to getting more nervous the longer you look at his smile. His phone vibrate saving you from the humiliation from getting caught crushing on him

“Excuse me.” He fished his phone from his jeans pocket before leaving you alone.

“Sunwoo-ah. I’m at the third floor in the vocal faculty. What? You’re at my faculty? Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.” He turns to you before bidding you goodbye.

“Tell me your name at least, or which faculty you’re from.” You sighed still looking at the entrance waiting for his footstep to disappear from the corridor before looking at the vacant spot where he sat just now. You smile as the image of his cheeky grin and the way his hand danced on the piano swiftly floating inside you mind.

***

The next day you talked to your vocal coach telling him that you won’t be playing the piano while singing. He looked unamused but you convince him by singing the full song without playing.

“I admit that you manage to interject the emotion, but I need more. I need a story that connects to the song. I want on the day you perform this song you be able to break every heart that will be there. I want that Y/N. Can you do that?” He asked and you nod hesitantly.

“One more, are you going to ask one of the student from the orchestra group to play for you?” He asked and you a bit taken aback by the question because you didn’t think about that at all. Your mind took you back to yesterday evening making you glance shortly to the piano seat where he sat giving you encouragement. You smiles because you know it’s quite impossible to ask for a big favor like that from a stranger.

“Can I ask Kevin to do it?” You look to the said boy and his eyes widen while shaking his head slowly. Before you could ask him why, your coach beat you to it.

“Kevin? He’ll be joining the musical group this year. He won’t have any time to help you. Find someone who can practice with you without meddling with their programs okay?” You sighed before taking back you seat on the floor next to Kevin.

“Musical? Why didn’t you tell me anything about it?” You kind of hurt because as his best friend, you didn’t know what he will be doing for the talent show.

“It was a last minute thing and we didn’t really had time to hang out since the preparation for the show started.” He’s looking at you and you could see the glint of guilt in his eyes. He was right though, you two been busy with your assignments and after the new semester start you both barely hang out together outside campus unless he walked you to your dorm or stop by for dinner on your way back. He once ask you to join him hanging out and be friend with his group but you said you a bit uncomfortable when you’re the only girl in the group. So he stops asking.

“No its fine Kev. I can find somebody else to do it.” You nudge him trying to brush his guilt away. But you on the other side, started to feel unrest by thinking about the one who could play for you and you didn’t really know anybody from the orchestra group well.

“Why did you change your mind about playing by yourself?” Kevin ask as you two head out from the room.

“I wasn’t confident enough to play.” Your voice trailed and he lean closer making faces forcing you to spill out whatever you’re hiding from him. You didn’t want him get the wrong idea about you having a short romantic experience yesterday with a stranger. Not that you embarrassed about it. But then again, it’s Kevin. Who else would you tell if it’s not him?

“Okay, I was practicing yesterday and having trouble with the song because remembers our coach keep saying that I didn’t put enough emotion into the song?”

Nods.

“When I was struggling, a guy came in and help me. He played and I sang. It kind of worked out and he’s the one who told me to just focus on one thing first.” You explained nervously and avoid any eye contact with him as he exclaimed.

“Woah just like in the movie? So romantic.” He teased nudging your shoulder making you smack his back until his body arched and you laugh.

“Do you know him? How did he get there?” He asked still laughing a bit opening the front door for you as you both heading to the cafeteria.

“I never saw him before. He was probably looking for his friends.” You try to remember the name he said when he received a call yesterday, but you couldn’t.

“How does he look like? Maybe we could walk around for a while try to look for your male version of Cinderella.” He made a face and dodge saving his back from your smacking.

“He has dimple on his left cheek. His cheekbone raise high like a sun when he smiles..” “Like mine?” He cut your words and smiles pointing his cheek making you roll your eyes.

“Yeah but cuter and more handsome than that and his eye are sparkling too.” Your voice trailed in admiration looking up smiling like a little girl falling in love. You stop when you realize Kevin wasn’t walking on your side anymore and look back to see his playful disgusting face.

“You sound like a creepy secret admirer.” He laughs.

“No I am not.” You smack his back again making him almost stumble on the floor still laughing. But he stops and looks at you raising his one eyebrow.

“Hey stop it. It hurts.” He whined before continuing.

“Yah, be careful, you’ll make Jaehyun jealous if he heard what you just said.” You frowned to his teasing because to be fair, you’re not dating Jaehyun to be teased like that.

“We’re no even dating you idiot.” You wait until he’s by your side before walking again.

“But you both really look good together.”

“I don’t like him like that.”

“But do you know that he likes you.”

“He confessed to me few months back.”

“Whaaat?”

“I said I need more time to think.”

“Why don’t you just tell him the truth?”

“I can’t hurt him Kevin.”

“Yeah but you’re giving him hope.”

“I’ll tell him sooner or later.” You sighed.

“You better.” He gives you the warning look before opening the cafeteria door for you and sit at the usual spot at the far corner of the cafeteria.

Changmin.

He sat on the floor watching his junior practicing after their dance teacher urgently went back for emergency and ask him to help him monitor them. But his mind drifted to the girl from yesterday and to her alluring voice instead, he couldn’t even focus on their step whether it wrong or right. He missed her that he chuckle to himself for missing a person that he didn’t even know her name. His phone vibrates and Kevin’s name on his notification.

‘Are you coming to Sangyeon’s party tonight?’

After replying ‘Yes.’ He put his phone down as the song came to end and the clock marks at 3 which is the end of the class as told. He stood and claps his hand cueing the end of the practice. After bidding the goodbye, he decided head straight to his apartment for a short nap before joining the party tonight but abruptly stop when he saw her walking out from the cafeteria. Her red hair really stood out that he recognizes her right away. He stood there watching her who was talking to someone that was hidden by the cafeteria door and he could hear her sweet laugh while covering her mouth with your finger adorably before bidding the person goodbye then skip down the stairs and head to the same way he was about to head.

She looked more relaxed than yesterday, smiling and all and her long wavy hair almost looks like it was dancing as the windy weather blow. He followed her and decided to greet her but stop on his track when she did to look at her phone in the middle of the road. He was the one who was checking to road for her as she continued to walk while still playing with the phone. He then saw a car from afar and he watch as she was about to crossing the road without checking first, he sprints with all his might to reach her and pull her bag as the car came closer and she almost got hit which is a bad choice because she stumbles back and almost fall on her butt. With his quick reflexes he manages to catch her by supporting her arm making her back fall on his chest instead.

“Oh my god that was close.” He exhaled as she grabs her chest before eyeing the car speeding away then she turn to him before she freeze on the spot. Wide eye.

“Hi.” She then smiles, stopping every single life around him making him smile back instantly.

Y/N

It was Saturday morning and you’re at your faculty after getting permission from your vocal coach to practice and sat on the bench warming up your vocal chords while playing the piano. You were waiting for Changmin to come and help you after he agrees to play for you at the talent show. You made a little effort by putting on more makeup and did your hair up. You even decided to wear your favorite floral summer dress with you jeans jacket and you were dead nervous.

“Y/N.” You heard his gentle voice calls for you and you saw him standing at the door, smiling brightly. He’s in his casual attire, a black hoodie and his dark blue jeans.

“Hi.” You almost melted and you swear he noticed because he giggled before walking inside the room and take the seat next to you. You spent all morning until almost evening synchronizing his tune with your voice without any problems and decided to have an early dinner together right after.

“You know when I came in the other day, you really looked like Ariel.” He smile while flipping the meat making you laugh a little too loud before covering your lips with your finger.

“I get that a lot though. Since I dyed my hair, my best friend won’t stop calling me that.” He laughed this time making you stop to admire his features for a moment before looking away when he stops laughing.

“You’re beautiful.” His compliments coming out of nowhere making you flustered and almost choked on your soda. You smile and look down trying to hide the blush on your cheek.

“That’s random.” You brushed your palm on the hem of your dress, smiling like an idiot.

“I know. I just wanted you to know.” He smiles to you still looking into your eyes showing you his sincerity making you blush even harder.

“Okay stop.” You wave you hand fanning your heated face then to him so he could stop staring at you.

“Anyway which faculty are you from?” You ask wrapping a small meat before shoving into your mouth.

“I’m from the dance faculty, it’s our semester break actually.”

“Really? Oh my god is it okay for you to stay here when you should be back hometown?”

“No. My family went to Jeju this week I’m going back next weekend if you don’t mind.” Your eyes grow bigger when he asked for your permission and you waved your hand franticly while the other covering your full mouth.

“Of course you can. We already sound good and you can go back anytime you want. If I knew it was your semester break, I wouldn’t ask you. I’m sorry.” You wipe your mouth before pouting making him smile wider.

“No. I want to be with you..” you drop the meat from your chopstick before looking at him in shock. You bit your lips to hide the smile that never left your lips from getting wider.

“I mean I want to help.” He laugh nervously covering his lips with his finger making your heart did a double flip almost dizzying you.

“Where you want to go next?” he asked after paying for the meal after a good fight with you who insisted to pay. He won though.

“I don’t know. I rarely go out during night time.” You grip your bag strap nervously avoiding his eyes here and there.

“Why?” He asked curiously.

“I don’t know. I just love staying at home.” You shrugged.

“You don’t go out with your friends at all?” You laughed because he acted like it was a big thing being a homebody.

“My best friend is a guy and he usually went out with his group of friend. He did ask me to join them but nah. We hang out after class and that’s it.” You explained.

“Boyfriend?” He ask constantly turning his body to you.

“Nope. Haven’t found one. You?”

“Same.” You smile to his answer.

“You should meet Kevin sometimes. He’s dying to see the guy who changed my mind in only few minutes when he talked me out about it for almost a month.”

“Kevin? The one from Canada? Kevin Moon?”

“Yeah do you know him?”

“Yeah I do. Are you the one who sing with him and Jacob at the garden every weekend?” You nod

“Oh. I am one of his groups of friends.” He stated as matter of fact. Proudly.

“Really? It such a small world.”

“I would rather say it’s such a small campus.” He said making you giggle. You spent the night walking around the Hongdae watching people on the street. His hand constantly brushed yours and you had to fight the urge to hold his hand all night and you regret it after he sent you home.

Changmin

He came every day after her class and spent most of his time with her every night. He got a little addicted by her smile, her adorable laugh and he still stunned every time she opens her mouth to sing even he have heard it every day for almost a whole weeks now.

“How can you be so fluent in English?” He asked out of curiosity after comparing her pronunciation with the original song when you both sitting on the bench by the Han River.

“I often listen to English song since I was little. I’m not that fluent though when I speak English.” She smile from her shoulder making his stomach churned and he smile.

“Can you tell me what the song mean?” He asked again, it’s not that he don’t understand a single words. He does actually, but he wanted to hear the song from her perspective.

“Since you ask, I just realize how I don’t really understand what the whole song was.” She lifts her head up just like a realization just hit her.

“Maybe that’s why I couldn’t really feel it.”

“What do you mean?”

“This song was grieving about her lover death and telling us how she could never love again.”

“And?”

“But I have nothing to grief for. I never know how it feels.” She pouted and he swears he could just kiss her damn lips if he’s bold enough.

“You can just act it out maybe. Or just gather all your sad memories and things that made you sad and just interject it in that song. Come on. We can figure it out.” He nudge her shoulder gently try to light up her mood again.

“I’m not good at acting up though.” She throws her head back looking up to the dark sky. He smiles while looking at her, loving the way she shines even in night time. Maybe it was her hair or it’s just her.

“Its okay. What you’re doing now is good enough for me.” He looks down to his hand rubbing it together to create warmth in the cold summer night.

“You think so?” He look back to her and smiles nodding to her question making her smile and he could feel the butterflies inside him started to chaos making him look away hiding his big smile. He spent the night with her strolling around the Han River and sent her off like every other night. But tonight when he watch as she enter her dorm, something inside him feel giddy wanting to scream at her to stay longer by his side and tell her how much he like her. How much he wants her for himself. But he hesitate because its just been one week from the day he met her. Maybe it’s too early. He might scare her off. He scratches his non itchy head smiling alone before turning his body around to walk away.

“Changmin-ah.” He heard the door behind him open when he turn back and saw her rushing to him skipping down the stairs with a smile before kissing his cheek making his heart stop then pound hard and his world stopped for a while.

“I like you.” She lean back shyly looking down before running back into her dorm without looking back making him chuckle touching his cheek tracing the spot where her warm lips has touched.

“I like you too.” He smiles looking at her door before walking away with a big smile to his car.
