Long Way To The Truth

summary: Lucas' mistakes finally catch up to him, and he finds allies in the strangest of places >Chapter 6: Nevada A/N: Fics not dead! just hit a wall after Utah, i think this chapter is worth the wait.

Lucas drove like a madman out of Utah for at least two days Straight,no sleep and barely any breaks. His mind raced with the horrors of the days before, he had Killed a cop which was just a death sentence of sorts.

Granted,it was sort of self defense. If he didnt act then he would be the one six feet under, he wouldnt change his action- no thats a lie, he knows he shouldve gone non-lethal.

But hes so close to getting to Milton-Haven, he cant let anything stop him. If he fails now....

If he fails now then hes dissapointing Wheeler,and all the people that died or got hurt by Agent Rainbow and the goverment. He wants to go through with this.

Hes got to survive,and if hes got to raise his weapon to do so then he Will.

Eventually exhaustion catches up to him, so as soon as he reaches the nearest town, he gets a room at a motel And he promptly passes out on the bed,not even bothering to change into something comfortable.

Blissful as rest usually is, he finds himself drifting on the edge of dreaming. All he sees is just a large black expanse,nothigness for miles and miles on end.

And then...the sound of rain. No, the sound of a storm, heavy,savage storm that felt like the Sky was coming down on humanity.

Flashes of lightning illuminate the void hes in, showing him hes on a road- Muddy and Rolling Hills of Grass and wet dirt. He hears soft crunching steps behind him and he turns-

Was that noise behind him? What constitutes as backwards? Why does he feel so...disoriented

He feels intense Fear, theres this mercury like smell in the air, something like a spray that sticks to his skin and gets in his lungs.

Theres this sudden bite of intense cold and hes drenched head to toe. His hair sticks to his face and he feels this...Weight in his hands

More steps come from what now he thinks is infront of him--Who are ya?!-- he yells, rising whatever it is hes got in his hands-- Identify yourself!

Nothing,for a moment.

Just the roaring storm.

--I said to tell me who the fuck you are!--He yells over a lightning strike that shows Him a male figure approaching him.

But the light soon subsides and plunges him into darkness.

Then another flash,the figure is closer,now taller,deformed, he hears the creaking of metal and the rustling of fabric.

Lucas' eyes go wide and he screams loudly, reaching for what feels like a trigger. A single bullet shoots out of the barrel with a bright flash of light,and he sees the face of Alphonso...

His captain had wide eyes, gripping his chest and gurglig out seas of blood, he falls back and only then does the moon or some sort of light fully illuminated the road

--No- no NO! Wheeler!--He yells, dropping the rifle that shatters like brittle glass into a million Pieces.

Its the same song and dance, he holds him tight and begs for forgiveness. He leans in to cry,to hug his friend one last time.

And then he hears a click, and something pressing against his chest. He looks to see Alphonso gone and in his place...some cop.

The cop...the cop he Killed.

Lucas sees red and blue lights fill the space,but when he looks to the cars the headlights burn his eyes with bright lights and he has to turn back to the cop.

When he turns he sees the gun now aimed at Lucas,straight point blank to his forehead

--Simply returning the favor-- says the Man, a voice dry as a desert and ghastly as any undead. A gaping,burning hole between his eyebrows.

All he hears after that is the dry,Metallic bang of the gun.

Lucas wakes up with a scream, pushing himself off of the bed and falling back first l to the ground. He Scrambles backwards until his spine presses firmly against the wall of the room.

He looks around with frantic eyes,looking for any threat. Even if there was one he wouldnt be able to do much of anything, he feels frozen in place, his hands clammy And his heart pounding like an obnoxious drum.

All he hears is...nothing,almost nothing. Just the usual car sounds, the soft steps of people outside

--it was...it was a goddamn nightmare--He says to himself,voice shaking and weak

Lucas tries to get up but he cant, his body is not letting him move. He tries to push himself upwards yet his muscles just tense, not really caring for orders

Quite literally, hes frozen in place by fear.

This is not the first time he gets nightmares with Alphonso, hes grown used to it almost. Its...its the cop that took him by surprise, he wasnt sure he felt guilty or...afraid.

He wonders if that fed Chick he met ratted him out, though what could she have told his superiors that they didnt already know? That he had a weakness for Hersheys?

No, thats just ridiculous-

It didnt make any sense so he quickly discards the thought and moves to whats really eating him up.

Will the guy he Killed be missed? Was he somebody's son?brother?Friend?husband?,did he kill an innocent guy? Will his loved ones miss him at all?

Did he make a mistake?

"Thats the issue,isnt it?he thinks,still not able to process the situation, still frozen in place. "We're all just cannon fodder,replaceable. Send the cops to deal with the conspiracy maddened soldier instead of coming to get me themselves. They dont care who lives or dies as long as im locked up or dead..."

And it reminds him a little too much of the war,how they fought in someone else's names. Ears sweetened by propaganda, the promises of good legacys, of being a hero to their country,of being supported when the job gets done.

No, theyre all replaceable- the system depends on them so much and yet it doesnt care for them.

"This poor guy was just another cog in this machine- Im sorry" Lucas thinks, looking at the floor and feeling his muscles relax.

--finally-- He whispers to himself, standing up and heading to the shower. He better clean up,sleep a little more and go get some food before he loses what sanity hes got left.

Whoever that cop was, he was now a name on the long list of people who got their lives ruined or ended by Mayer,the goverment or whoever is behind Agent Rainbow.

And it only makes that Fire in him grow and burn ever brighter with hate,and the desire for vindication.

Post shower and nap, he gets ready to drive to a nearby dinner for some much needed food. Nevada had welcomed Him with a crisp summer heat, not that it bothered him much- He was from Florida after all,hes seen and dealt with worse.

He can hear the humming of his engine,he even drums his fingers on the steeringwheel to its rythm.,The indistinct hustle and bustle of the town hes in feels oddly homey,and as a few cars pass him by,Lucas realizes he could just turn the his radio on.

And in fact,his hand does reach for the "ON" button. But then he stops and re-tracts His hand, usually he used music to escape reality-But if he wants to get anywhere with this he should be left alone with his thoughts for a little.

Lucas takes a turn following the guidelines of his stablished Route,just taking in his sorroundings. But his mind wanders Back to the possibilty of danger...

First,He did kill a cop.

Second, hes trying to blow the lid off of a goverment conspiracy.

Third, hes Driving around in a white van through the US,sometimes sleeping in his vehicle in small towns or the Open road. Feds aside,he could still get robbed or worse.

Its a lot of things to Keep track of,a lot of things to worry about...

He just wants one peacefull day. Just one.

Eventually he does reach the dinner, He doesnt care to look at the sign, but does note the warehouse between the dinner and the spot where he Parked his van,the dinners parking lot being overtaken-

Lucas walks past it on his way to the Dinnee, thats Probably where they kept the stock for the foods and all.

Our lovely soldier takes off his ballcap of the Jacksonville Jaguars as he walks up to the entrance. Just a small habit he still kept from his army days.

Above him the bell rings as he steps out of the clear Sky and heat of the outside and into the cool air of the dinner. The air smells of cooked meals, of genuine food made on the spot.

First he goes to find a quiet booth to sit, somewhere in a corner where he can make a run for the exit or has the entrance in his line of sight.

He settles on a booth near one of the corners of the wall that holds the entrance. Then he waits to be handed the menu of the place.

Quietly he taps on the table, looking around to the place hes in. Its not too big and not too small, the chairs are wooden with leather cushions and the booths are much the same.

The whole diner feels lived in, earthy colors are found all throughout the place. The Windows are well cleaned and hes surprised the old neon sign above the entrance still works.

When hes handed the menu his eyes drift to the date underneath the dinner's logo. "EST. 1942" it reads,and he cant help but chuckle because thats his birth Year.

--As old as me,huh?--He whispers with a smirk.

Soon he orders some lunch, he was really feeling a nice cheeseburger,some fries and he wouldve gone for a beer if it wasnt for the fact that he needed to drive. So he just settles on some soda.

From here he can see the small TV having its channel swiftly changed to MTV. And hes a little thankful for it, he'd rather listen to music than some news reporter.

《I'm just an average man with an average life

I work from 9 to 5, hey hell, I pay the price

All I want is to be left alone, in my average home

But why do I always feel

Like I'm in the Twilight Zone?》

Comes the music from the TV, making him flinch.

He takes that back, lets switch back to the news report.

But eventually his food does come, and its as he starts eating his food that he notices a guy on a nearby table seem...loopy?

Its an older guy,around 60s,dresses casually with a button up. He has this oily texture on his lips, and it makes the soldier blink in confusion.

Just out of precaution,Lucas checks his food and drink for anything similar. Thankfully,theres nothing off at first glance and he decides to Keep eating. He needs that boost in Morale.

《I always feel like somebody's watchin' me

And I have no privacy (oh oh oh)

I always feel like somebody's watchin' me

Tell me is it just a dream?》

When hes done with his food,he starts to notice something weird. Theres a lot less people now- which shouldnt be weird given that lunch rush hour is passing, but he notes that the people that are left are sitting a little too close to him.

Theres at least four people behind him, two diagonally a few tables away. And just now three more have sat in the booth infront of him. And worst of all the dinner's parkinglot is pretty much barren aside from standard issue black SUVs, a few of them scattered about yet quite close to eachother,almost in a formation.

He clears his throat, the feeling of being watched setting in. He leaves the money he owes plus a tip and goes to stand up, feeling all eyes on him as he does so.

Quietly he shakes off his green flannel and ties it to his hips. Something tells him he'll need his arms free soon enough, then he grabs his baseball cap and puts it on,making sure his visor covers his face.

Then he walks to the entrance, hearing the shifting weight of some people as he passes them by. And if he could see behind his back, right at the height of the crook of his neck,he'd see one blond girl staring at him concerned.

With the bell clinking above him as he exits, he doesnt allow himself to breathe out,to relax.

And that was a Smart choice

Because Next thing he knows he barely managed to escape from somebody's grip. A guy around his height given he feel the guys chest against his back.

He can feel the forearm dig into his throat,trying to choke him out. He lets out a cough, his first instinct being to try to rip the arm away,but failing to do so.

Instead,he elbows the guy as close as he can to the mouth of his stomach. A dry,solid punch that gives Lucas a brief respite enough to slide away from the grip and hit the ground running.

《When I come home at night

I bang the door real tight

People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid

Or can the people on TV see me or am I just paranoid?》

He can still hear the music as he runs away,thats how quiet the place around him is. Panic settles in his mind, its so clear- Hes outmatched.

But he cant give up now,hes got to run, find a way to lose them or distract them.

And like a saving grace, or Lady Luck's patient wait to flip Lucas' good fortune on its head, the warehouse comes into view. Its unlocked and he bursts in, finding himself on a labrynth of shelves And boxes with dust in the air and...music?

For a brief moment he hears radio static,presumably from the place that the music comes from. Its brief but strong enough to make his head feel light.

《Follow....me...》comes the voice from wherever the supposed radio is also somehow...somehow it comes from his own head too. Or like whoever is talking,a woman- clearly old as he is or older- is standing right there infront of him.

And he swears he sees sparkles of light blue- or is it Sky- no, Azure blue? In his periphery. Or was that...were those radio waves lighting up his path?

Somehow he knows itll lead Him to a door-A Back door.

His vision doubles, triples but he can hear the shuffling of boots against gravel, the bits of orders being given. And he knows its either run into the maze or get caught.

Like alice chasing after the white rabbit,Lucas follows the music from the radio,down into the rabbit hole- down the Many twisting alleys of the warehouse.

《When I'm in the shower, I'm afraid to wash my hair

'Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there!

People say I'm crazy, just a little touched

But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much

That's why》

And of course the song doesnt help, it reverberates on his skull like a ping pong ball, its disorienting,annoying.

Outside the people after him gather, orders are given, and people Scramble to comply with them. Some go to the main entrance, Two to the back entrance, and three around on the roof.

--I still think this is too much personell--Says one of the guards of the main entrance.-- its just one guy

--This one guy Killed Dwight,Stevenson-- The Man said,eyeing the blond haired girl with him.-- Dont tell me youre growing fond of the guy....

--im not!-- the other Man raised a brow-- I mean it Benett!

--June-- Bennet warns-- Youre a horrible liar

She sighs--Okay fair enough -- truth is she went out of her way to seem suspicious-- Look, Dwights death was unfortunate. He went out there and disregarder orders!--She raises her hands,as if trying to make his attention shift from her face.

And before he can say anything she drops her hands and makes them impact against her walkie. She goes to turn it on to ask for mission status but...it doesnt let out static.

June tries again, and she cant--Oh youve got to be kidding me

Benett looks puzzled--What?

With an annoyed if not embarassed tone she answers-- My walkie doesnt have any batteries

--Huh?! What?!- Gimme that-- He grabs the useless piece of plastic. He clicks the on button,nothing. He goes to Open the back and yeah there are batteries-- Gah,outta juice? Fuck...--He sighs and turns own his walkie-- this is bravo to all units, going back to station to replace-

He stops,letting go of the talk button.Turning to Stevenson he adds-- Hey hold on- You go, its your walkie

--I have a higher Use Of Force score than you

Bennet narrowed his eyes,miffed at the fact that has been brought up-- Youre pulling that card?

Stevenson cant help herself and laughs a little--Listen! Are you going to risk the guy getting away because you wanted to Keep your ego intact?

The Man grumbled--Fine.-- He murmurs, going to push the talk button on his walkie-- sorry for that- Bravo to all units im going back to station to replace sierra's walkie. The batteries mustve died on the way here

--Ten-four Bravo. Make it quick-- comes their commander from the walkie.

--Sir yes sir--Benett answers and lets go of the talk button.-- You owe me -- he says to June who just laughs.

--I dont Owe you shit- Now go cmon.

June watches the Man grumble and hurry away to the car. But shes not relaxed until hes out of sight-

Fine,now that hes gone she can go in.

Meanwhile,Lucas runs out through the maze like corridors of the shelves. In his mildly drugged Addled Mind jumps over a crate,only to trip and roll with a grunt.

His view was hazy, and his ribs burn. Newsflash,the floor is hard and solid- Not wobbly Like his eyes had him believe.

Soon approaching comes the footsteps of the men after him- At least he wont get shot. They wouldnt shoot a gun in such an enclosed space because aside from deafening anyone in the vecinity, it could hit an ally, a passerby or something flammable.

Well,theres not much here thats flammable- Aside from cooking oil but hes not going to bet money on it....

--Goddamnit--He growls, standing up and holding his side for a moment.

--Where the hell is he?--Yells somebody in that maze of shelves.

--I think I see him!--Shouts someone else.

Hes not sticking around to find out- So he starts sneaking through wherever his body might fit. Trying to follow the music just like he was told to do.

《always feel like somebody's watchin' me

And I have no privacy (oh oh oh)

I always feel like somebody's watchin' me

Who's playing tricks on me?》

Lucas makes one turn, then keeps going-Another turn- Was it left or right? His head spins- He holds it and stumbles.

Breathing labored, the music echoed through the warehouse and he feels his head way too light-

--Crap crap crap --He mutters, how the hell did he get drugged? His food didnt taste any different- or did his hunger make him ignore the odd taste?

《I don't know anymore!

Are the neighbours watching me? (Who's watching?)

Well is the mailman watching me? (Tell me who's watching?)》

But hes got to Keep running- the Fear was so intense- he could barely breathe.

His steps get drowned out by the music that seems to be getting louder,as if someone was cranking up the radio's volume.

The corridors he runs feel endless,they pass him in a blurr and hes sweating Like a sinner in church- What was going on with him?

Could it be the chemical- Could he have been drugged with the Agent Rainbow? Was this just a panic attack? A PTSD episode? Or was he just really that scared?

--Oh God no no--He mutters looking at the two tall crates that block his path- Who even leaves something like this in the middle of the warehouse?!

《And I don't feel safe anymore, oh what a mess

I wonder who's watching me now! (Who?)

The IRS?!》

Hes trapped, he cant go anywhere-

The steps grow louder and louder- someones approaching fast...

This is it- Hes caught.

Hes failed

And he was so damn close-

--Lucas!--Yells Someone over the music.

--get away!--Lucas shouts right back,scrambling to Grab something, anything to get away.

With a wide swipe he grabs whar feels like a paper bag, he rips It Open and throws it at whoever was approaching him. He heard them cough and just as hes about to run away...

--Goddamnit Lucas! You big fucking idiot!--Hes slammed against the Crates. He feels himself restrained and something is poured forcefully into his lips.

He tried to pull away but he cant,hes held in place and he can tell his assailant is smaller than him. He notices Many things...

First, his attacker is a She-,Of blond hair,grey eyes...

--kid?--He asked, looking at her, a little puzzled.

--About damn time--June says, putting the cap back on her canteen-- I made sure to give you a low dosage- but that didnt work clearly!

--You- you drugged me!--He protested--How-?!

She rolled her eyes--You didnt check the water supply of the motel, did you?

--How shouldve I known-

--Doesnt matter--The woman replied-- Cmon, we gotta GO

Forcefully,she grabs his wrist and tugs Him along. Lucas seems really out of it-Less dizzy now but confused.

--Wont this get you in trouble?--He asked, walking over the pile of flour so his footprints didnt show. Above them the light is a sickening yellow, Either from the dirty lightbulbs or the Sky lights.

--I was in a whole world of trouble the moment I didnt detain you back in Utah-- She replied, non-chalantly-- it was either detention or...

--Termination--He finished,his mind getting clearer-- I mean- you couldve Killed me at the motel back in Utah

--Or I couldve given you the whole dosage

--But you didnt

June shrugged--Im efficent,thats why they trust me. Besides- Rose- She helped out

--Whom?

She cleared her throat- not sure how to tell him who Rose is. Tension fills the air for a moment as they walk, avoiding the Sky lights or barren shelves.

《I always feel like somebody's watchin' me

And I have no privacy (oh oh oh)

I always feel like somebody's watchin' me

Tell me is it just a dream

I always feel like somebody's watchin' me

And I have no privacy (oh oh oh oh)

I always feel like somebody's watchin' me

Who's playing tricks on me?》

--Doctor James, shes the one who made- Or well, helped in revamping AR. She uh- She wants out and I told her I know somebody--June explained,finally getting to the back door-- She gave me the specifics on how much of the chemical to expose you to,yadda yadda

Lucas nodds, finally being let go--Did she also give you something to help calm down the effects or-

She snorted--Nah Man thats just water

--Oh...

The woman rolls her eyes with a smirk,obviously amused--You packed all your stuff back in your van before leaving right?

--Yes...

--Good,then punch me and run

He blinks at her--Excuse you?

--we gotta make this believable,dumbass-- She replied, walking up to him-- itll be too obvious if you leave and im unharmed. Plus my battle buddy Will be back here soon and things Will get worse for both of us

Lucas understands what she means, if her buddy comes back-She'll have no other choice but to play along and detain him- and escaping death or wherever he was going to be thrown into seemed nigh Herculean of a task.

Still, he wasnt going to punch her. It felt...wrong- she did nothing but help him. Even if he did punch her, he wouldnt be able to actually make it hurt.

--You are so sentimental--She teased,a little endeared but also annoyed-- Thats sweet but we gotta hurry it up

Before he can say anything she bangs her head against one of the desks there. He hears a sickening crunch of bone and a smear of red spread across the wooden surface of the furniture she hit.

His eyes widen--Sweet lord,woman!--He yells seeing her pull back with almost a manic grin. But shes not done,oh no.

She hits the corner of the desk right on her ribs,she yelps in pain and does It again on her arm.

--Kid- Jesus just stop!--He pulls her back but one last thing she does is hit the steel frame of the desk she was just throwing herself at.

--There --June says,blood trickling down her lips--I think thats enough

--Ya fucking think?!--Lucas Shouts, about to look at her hand before being pushed away.

--Fucking leave!

Fast approaching steps reach his ears,he nodds and runs for the door. Though before he leaves he turns and simply says--Hey- whats your name?

"For fucks sake" she thinks,but indulges him nonetheless-- June

--thank you,June. For everything

She smiles and says--Its nothing...

--And also, leave your job- youre too much of a good person for this--And with that,he leaves. Hearing her faint laughter over the music.

Soon he reaches his van,he hops In and like a bat out of hell he drives away. Speeding past none other than Bennet,who by the time he realizes what happened its already too late- Hes being called in to help June,who seems to be either incapacitated or unconcious.

Lucas Cole escapes with his life, shaken, worried, but still alive.

He drives for days on end,barely sleeping (if at all) and eating whar remains of his rations. Next stop he makes he ought to re-stock.

His mind eventually clears up, the radio frequency is quiet. Too quiet.

But one night,just the night he made it to Oregon the radios catch something on another frequency. Weak and quite static filled.

Yet he recognizes the two voices that talk.

--This Empty to Spider --Comes the voice of one Rosemary James, he recognized the voice from when he entered the warehouse. The same woman he heard talking about a shipment.-- How did things go? Over.

-- Spider to Empty, they went well. Poor fucker was horrified when he saw me fling myself to that desk-- She laughs a little,to then yelp-- It still hurts. Over

He chuckles and whispers--Thats what happens when you hit yourself with a desk,Dummy.

--I suppose hes on his way to Washington? Over-- Rose asked.

--Affirmative. Im sure he'll find something or somewhere to stay-- the "over" seems to slip Junes mind.

--Funnily enough theres a spot for a ranger in Elysium Park-- "Empty" added with an audible smile.

--Huh,he'll fit right in,then.

--He sure Will

--Is he safe?--the scientist asked.

--Bureocracy Will slow things down--the fed answered-- by the time they try to catch up...

--He'll be long gone

Then a brief silence.

--Ill handle the situation when it gets to it. Thank you,Spidee Empty over and out

And so,the transmission cuts.

Lucas chuckles,shaking his head and wondering how the hell did his life get so damn crazy... And how lucky he is that June decided to go Rogue.

Quietly,he stands up and checks his sorroundings. Hes hidden away off Road near a small town on the edge of the stateline between Oregon and Nevada. He'd drive a little more If he wasnt so exhausted.

He decided to trust on Junes words and allowed himself a good nights rest. A full eight hours-

And though he wont be able to remember this the Next morning, Lucas dreams of an azure blue Angel with bright round eyes and long,radiowave made wings standing at the front of what seems to be a...bunker?

She turns to him and simply says

《Follow....me》

Roleplay Server Log #211

“Infinite Flux, Cp Cleansing”

[Notch] Quietly as they walk away - how long were you hovering around listening to us anyway?

[Flux] - Not too terribly long, I was beginning to wonder where you were

[Notch] You can't pinpoint people on the server? I know Doc can do that, I thought it was an admin thing?

[Flux] - I have my own way I suppose, when I take my mist form I can see everything, everyone, wverywhere

[Notch] Laughs lightly- That sounds both amazing and headache inducing.

[Flux] - I am used to it. It was a bit disorienting coming here because this server is bigger than the one I originate from

[Notch] But it also means more interesting things to look at, and more people to check in on.

[Flux] - I could show you

[Notch] Really? Is it because I can see code now? Or could you have done this all along to anyone?

[Flux] - Not before, but I might be able to now that my energy has been fixed

[Notch] I trust you Flux. I'm up for anything you want to show me.

[Flux] Reaches over and takes his hands as she brings them to a halt. She shuts her eyes and a bubbly feeling overcomes Notch as the two of them dissolve into mist, as Flux said, Notch can now see everything on the server and everywhere-

[Notch] Gasps in shock, it's too much to take in at once and his mind is overwhelmed with tears that have no way to manifest. He clings to her with all his energy and there's a sudden swelling as the powers comingle, the server shoots away below them, beyond the ceiling of the skybox and there it is....

All the seeds streching forever into a gray misty horizon in every direction, little glowing doorways to an untold number of worlds, Notch hesitates for a moment before reaching out to the nearest node, his unformed hand passing through the sparkling star of a world-

I....

[Flux] Brings their forms back to a more physical state- Notch?

[Notch] Wobbles around for a moment and then falls down. His face is green with motion sickness and he's panting a bit from the sheer pressure of everything that was just lifted from him.

[Flux] Kneels down next to him- Notch? What was that?

[Notch] I... I don't know... I just reached out for you... and we went so much higher... I feel dizzy.

[Flux] Pushes some hair away from Notch's face- Breathe, it will help. The first time doing that is always overwhelming... But that place... Where was it? I've never seen it before...

[Notch] It was everything... the web of seed nodes spread out over the void. Just one little corner of the Internet itself.

[Flux] - Your creation?

[Notch] I had help... but yes...

[Flux] - It's appropriate

[Notch] Was that what you wanted to show me?

[Flux] - No, my intention was just to show you this server...

[Notch] Then why....?

[Flux] - I cannot say, but perhaps TLOT or Doc may be able to shed some light on this?

[Notch] Not... not right now... I need to think about this. Just, walk me home, okay? We'll have some tea, maybe some of the lobsters Stevie gave me.

[Doc] Was dozing lightly and feels a small vibration from the golden carrot that's phone coded - xe pulls it out and reads the display slightly above it. With hir forked tounge just poking out xe twiddles hir claws and waits. The reply comes back immediately and there's some spirited back and forth. The exeggutor wanders over and watches hir blithely. - after a few minutes xe closes it satisfied and types out a message to Cp over the chat- Turns out Dawn already had what you needed, she made one for herself a long time ago and then didn't use it. She says she'll put it in a container near the tv and you can just grab it. Just give her a few minutes to get to the beach.

[CP] - I DON'T NEED ANYTHING!

[Doc] It's for your nightmares! Just take it. You don't have to talk to anyone.-

[CP] - Slender already gave me protection!

[Doc] Why the fuck didn't you tell me?

[CP] - BECAUSE I WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT MY WIFE!

[Doc] TAKE IT ANYWAY.

[CP] - MAKE ME!

[Doc] whiny and trying to make Splender laugh- Splender.... Cp is being rude... blarg. - Xe rolls over in a dramatic way-

[Splender] - Should I go get him?

[Doc] No... he's with Lie. It makes more sense for me to go to him. He's still at my house anyway. Splender... I don't expect you to do anything. I was just bitching to make myself feel better. Thank you though.

[Splender]- Oh, alright!

[Doc] I guess I'll head home. Though you're always welcome to tag along if you're bored. - Lifts up and shakes off a bit. - Snake? Are you still around?

[Splender] - No, I should be going home as well

[snake] snake is not here only a donut

[Doc] Safe journey then. Huh?

[Exeggutor] Waves it's fronds at Splender

[snake] I am a donut but don't eat me

[Splender] Waves his tendrils, the bells jingling softly before he teleports away-

[Doc] Okay. Well then. Donuts belong in my kitchen, so I guess I'll just take you along. - Xe picks up Snake with two claws and balances him on hir snout like a dog with a treat before trotting back towards the castle with the pokemon stumping along behind-

[Alexis] Passes them on her way home-

[Doc] Hi Alexis. - Waves hir tail by way of greeting-

[Alexis] - Hello Doc, everything okay?

[Doc] Just the usual nonsense. Got my butt kicked by a wild animal while Cp stood around watching. He's determined to be on my shit list today.

[Alexis] - I see, well I hope your day gets better, I'm heading home now

[Doc] Good enough. Stevie could probably use some comforting anyway.

[Alexis] - Got it- Heads towards her house

[Doc] Puts up a paw as xe gets to the front door and changes under Snake so they're laying in hir open palm.

[Exeggutor] Has decided to stay outside and settles down in a patch of sun near the water.

[Doc] Heads down to the kitchen.

[CP] Is keeping himself between MB and Lie-

[Mb] Is just sitting against the wall with the pea-shooter concealed and his arms folded. He's focused entirely on the baby dragons playing and ignoring Cp.

-The baby dragons are starting to wear out a little-

[Mb] Oh look who's back....

[Doc] Comes down the steps, hoping theres no mess

[snake] donut say eat more cookies

[CP] Growls at Doc a little-

[Doc] Puts Snake on the table and gives Cp a calculating look- well?

[CP] - Go get it yourself! You're the one who keeps wanting the practice!

[Doc] If I get it myself, will you take the item?

[CP] - No, because I don't need it!

[Doc] Why are you so against this?

[snake] donut say take the item

[CP] - I don't need it, Slender has already given me their protection and I trust in that

[Doc But it could come in handy later. From what Dawn said, a lot of work went into it.

[snake] donut says you should always have a plan b

[CP] Is just being stubborn now as he folds his arms and turns away-

[Flux] - Notch, I really do believe that you should go speak to someone now, before you forget anything

[Notch] Holds himself nervously- Are you sure? I mean... nobody here really seems to know what's happening to me....

[Flux] - Yes but it would be best to keep them up to date on what is happening, do you not think so?

[Notch] slumps, defeated, he makes a weak gesture for Flux to lead-

[Flux] Takes his hand again- We'll walk this time

[Deer] - Snake? Why are you curled up like that?

[snake] I am not snake I am a donut

[+Deer] - Oh... Um, okay?

[snake] but really I just don't want to be serious right now

[Deer] - Alright, there's nothing wrong with that

[Doc] Is just staring angrilly at Cp

[Mb] Has perked up and is watching to see if a fight will happen-

[Notch] Comes down the stairs - Doc, I need to tell you something-

[Flux] Is following behind Notch-

[Doc] What is it Markus?

[Flux] - I was showing him how I saw the server when something went odd, we saw all the seeds...

[Notch] It was amazing... and scary as all hell-

[Doc] So maybe the mingling of your energies caused a reaction?

[Flux] - Perhaps, I'd never tried showing someone else before...

[Notch] I wasn't trying to do anything.

[Doc] I understand, but there's a chance that you did something anyway without meaning too.

[Lie] - Maybe it's one of Notch's powers?

[Doc] So you think he might be able to see all the codes with a nudge in the right direction?

[Notch] It didn't feel like that. I wanted to.. help.. I guess?

[CP] - Who cares! Something weird happened, big deal

[Lie] - CP what is wrong with you right now?

[Doc] Snorts - maybe you should help me next. All I want is for Cp to grab a thing that's just outside our usual portal and he won't do it.

[Notch] I guess?

[CP] - Will the both of you just fuck off already?

[Doc] Bristles and shoots him an incredulous look-

[Notch] Hey... if you want me to try and help I will.

[Doc] Throws up hir hands- Fine! What's the worst that can happen right?

[Lie] Sighs and motions for them to go ahead, she won't stop them-

[Doc] Tries to make a portal, there a lot of crackling and statick and it falls apart quickly. Xe grits hir teeth and tries again-

[CP] Snickers-

[snake] donut say your being mean cp

[Doc] Gets it semi-stable, but it's clear they're using everything to maintain it and there's nothing visible but digital snow on the opposite side-

[Notch] Approaches tenatively, trying to focus his mind on helping somehow-

[Deer] - CP really, do you want to be turned into a cat again?

[Mb] What the fuck are you doing anyway?

[CP] - Not helping

[Lie] - Doc is trying to make a portal to the outside world

[Mb] Outside? Like another seed or game or something?

[snake] lie make sure to eat more cookies

[Lie] - It's the world Notch and I come from, it's where Minecraft was created

[Doc] Tries harder and suddenly feels Markus touch hir shoulder. There's a sudden whoosh as the pressure vanishes entirely, and the beach outside the old TV can be clearly seen through the little hole. The smell of the surf and sand, and the rushing noise of the ocean fills the room.

[Lie] Smiles a little-

[Mb] Is on his feet and moving towards the hole, his eyes are as blank as ever but his mouth is hanging slightly agape. - What... It's so... the pieces are so small...!

[CP] - Because it's not pixilated dumbass

[Doc] Sticks hir hand through quickly without losing contact with Markus, and drags in a beach bag. There's the tiniest digital crackle as the resolution on the bag falls dramatically to match the server.

[Notch] That's home...

[Mb] Reaches out for the hole and jerks his hand back as if burned-

[Lie] - It used to be

[CP] - Yeah the first time out there is super painful

[Notch] You're right Lie. But I'm trying to help Mb understand what he's seeing. This is where non-digital humans come from. Everything is much more detailed.

[CP] Is considering setting the beach bag on fire-

[Doc] Looks at Notch and moves his hand gently off hir shoulder. As they break contact, the portal falls apart entirely. - Markus...

[Flux] - Such an interesting reaction...

[Doc] I think we should do some more tests but.... at first blush, that's an amazing power... Lie? Could you give it a shot? Let Markus help you spawn a flower, nothing new, just see what happens.

[Lie] - Alright- She holds her hand out for Notch, focused on creating a love blossom

[Notch] Takes her hand gently and thinks about helping her as well-

[Lie] The blossom forms quickly, growing much larger than usual and a few petals fall off while a scent fill it's room. Everyone there being reminded of those they love the most-

[Notch] Turns instinctively to Flux, his eyes are wide and hopeful

[Mb] Bends down and reaches out for Celine

[Doc] Takes a step back to lean against Deerheart and reach down for Yaunfen. - It's so beautiful Lie....

[CP] Purrs as he looks at Lie-

[Lie] - It's so much bigger

[Flux] Has a light blush across her face, she's a bit confused as to what she's feeling, but she knows it's aimed at Notch-

[snake] -flops out of being a donut-

[Doc] I think we have confirmation... Too bad you're ashamed of your father Cp, having your own powers amplified could come in super handy...

[CP] Scowls- Still not introducing him to my mobs Doc

[Lie] - What brought that suggestion about?

[Doc] I had a fleeting thought about Cp introducing Markus as a super powerful Notch to impress his mobs and keep them in line.

[CP] Tenses as he picks up on the thought- No! Besides, even if we did that my mobs would still initially challenge him, and I don't think he can protect himself yet

[Notch] Swallows-

[Doc] Bah, they're just mobs. All I'd need to do is put him in creative.

[CP] - You have no say as to what happens on my seed Doc

[Doc] Did I say I did? And that's a good question, can you put people in creative on your seed? Are you an admin, or just an invader?

[CP] - I don't know, never had a reason to, and Stevie always preferred to be in survival

[Doc] Then you basically put your greatest weapon aside because... you can't be bothered to hack into the admin functions?

[Mb] dumbass...

[CP] - No, because I'm naturally in a mixture of survival and creative, and I never put one of my victims in creative

[Doc] And... it never occured to you to flip your own modes before fighting your NOTCH?

[CP] - I've tried, it's part of my glitch that I can't completely enter creative

[Doc] Okay, that I understand. But you not using every weapon at your disposal makes me suspicious.

[CP] - What do you mean?

[Notch] Cp... you usually use anything that can give you an advantage in a fight...

[CP] - And I still do! I just can't fully enter creative! I've tried Nether knows how many times!

[Doc] Ah, that's a shame, but... you don't want my help,so.....

[Mb] Mean laugh-

[CP] Growls- I don't need it, I'll figure out a way eventually

[Lie] - CP no, you've tried your way long enough now

[Flux] - And you are not the only one with a vendetta...

[Doc] Pretends to ignore them and opens the bag. There are a couple of items inside, but the charm is on the top. Xe pulls it out. It's a scroll made of animal hide and it's been wrapped over it's entire length with red string knotted at intervals and then sealed with a complex sigil pressed into wax. It seems to pulse weirdly in hir hand-

[Deer] - That feels so weird...

[Flux] - There is definetly magic in that...

[Doc] It's made of skin and obviously not meant to be read.

[Notch] Hovers a hand over it. - It feels really different from what Flux uses...

[Flux] - Well it is a real world magic, not digital

[Doc] I guess it will come in handy if someone else needs protection at least.

[Lie] Goes over to CP and runs her fingers through his hair-

[Doc] Rustles around in the bag and pulls out a brown cube, it seems to be slightly hairy. - What the...?

[Deer] - What is that?

[Notch] Is that a coconut?

[Doc] Shakes it - why is it full of liquid?

[Lie] - It's edible

[snake] -flops off the table to get a closer look at what doc has-

[Doc] Makes a second one and puts it away before fussing with the original. Xe taps it on the table like an egg- How are you supposed to get it open?

[Lie] - You have to break it open, not only can you drink the "milk" inside, but you can eat the flesh to

[Doc] Oh... Um... - Xe sits down at the table and picks at the coconut a bit, pinching pixels off of it like someone removing lint.

[snake] get a machete and cut it in half

[Lie] - Doc? Do you know if TLOT has figured out a time for some of villagers to meet Notch? I'd like to be there to support Notch

[Doc] But Snake, if it has liquid in it, and I hit it with something, it'll go everywhere. I don't know? I'm not entirely sure where he is. But I presume he'd want to be there himself.

[Lie] - We should ask him then

[snake] normally they are round so just some would get out while the two half's flopped to the side containing the rest gem saw it in a video once

[Doc] Squeaks a finger into a small hole xe's made and feels liquid - It's okay, I think I've got it. Anyone have a bucket? -at Lie- Oh? Right.

[CP] Tosses one full of lava at Doc-

[Doc] Fumbles the bucket and gets it on hir lap, xe leaps up and breaks the chair to keep it from catching fire-

[Mb] Grabs Celine and tps into the kitchen proper-

[Notch] Jumps away in alarm-

[Lie] - CP!

[Doc] FUCKING DAMMIT CP!

[CP] Doesn't care-

[snake] -gets as fast away from the lava as he can-

[Doc] Cleans up the lava and stalks over to him before kicking him hard in the shin-

[CP] Leaps up to attack only to find himself quickly shrinking as Lie flicks the collar onto him-

[Lie] - ENOUGH!

[Doc] Grabs him roughly and plunks him on the table- What the hell is wrong with you?!

[CP] Growls and hisses at Doc-

[Doc] Scowls- I don't get it... he was doing so well... why is this happening now?

[Lie] - Could it be an affect of the protection Slender's given him?

[Doc] Fuuuuuuck. You might be right.... I think... I need BEN just in case. One of my carriers to make contact with him.

[Lie] - Do you think it's Her again?

[Doc] Growls- I don't know, but I'm not giving her one fucking pixel in the battle between us. - types- BEN? Can I borrow you for a minute?

[Flux] Reaches out with her magic- I feel her aura, but not her

[BEN] - What do you need?

[Doc] Just your purging ability. It will only take a minute. Is there anything you need from me? Just to make the trip more worthwild?

[BEN] - Not really, I mean we're getting a bit scratched up by Hyrule's nails, we don't exactly have anything to trim them

[Doc] I can fix that. Do you want to bring him over too?

[BEN] - Sure, I'll be over soon

[Doc] Thank you.

[Notch] Found a bucket in the kitchen and is draining the coconut.

[Flux] Takes a seat at the table-

[CP] Bites at Doc-

[snake] doc do you still have the cookie I gave you? maybe you can make more so everyone can have one.

[Doc] Swats the top of Cp's head lightly- No! Oh, Snake? Yeah, I do. - Fusses around and makes a small stack before setting them on the table away from Cp-

[CP] Glares at the cookies, considering barfing on them-

[snake] yay cookies for everyone

[Notch] Gives Cp a little pat and sighs unhappily. - I thought we were done with this...

[Lie] Gathers CP's clothes- This happens every once in a while

[Notch] What, like some kind of male pms?

[Lie] Pauses- Kinda? But not as regular

[CP] Makes a beeline for the cookies-

[Notch] Puts the bucket down in his way and leans on it so he can only bang into it -

[CP] Stumbles back a little and hisses-

[Notch] Anyone who wants a cookie should grab it now...

[Doc] Maybe later, I still have some.

[Lie] Takes one as CP tries to get around the bucket-

[Yaunfen] Lunges for the cookies, grabbing several-

[Mb] Slips quietly out the kitchen door. He has a lot on his mind now and his dragon is sleepy.

[Notch] Moves the bucket a bit too quickly and sloshes a bit of coconut water on Cp.

[Celine] Suckles a little on MB's shirt-

[CP] Unhappy noises as he tries to shake the liquid off-

[Doc] That's what you get for being a dick.

[BEN] Enters carrying Hyrule- Hey

[snake] hi ben

[BEN] Nods in acknowledgment before looking at CP- So he's a cat again?

[Doc] There you are. Yeah... he's been really bad today... Oh, I meant to ask, hows the fairy working out?

[Nia] Comes out of the folds of BEN's clothes-

[Notch] Aww, Hyrule's a cutie - notices Nia- What the? You have a fairy? She's so tiny!

[BEN] - Standard for our game

[Flux] - It has a little bit of magic

[Notch] Makes a silly face- Hey Hyrule, listen!

[Doc] Hello Nia.

[BEN] - DON'T YOU DARE!

[snake] -falls over laughing-

[Notch] Chuckles- Just playing around.

[BEN] Scowls- Anyways, what do you need me to do?

[Doc] We think Markus may be developing some powers of his own as a newly digital entity-

[BEN] - And that involves me how?

[Doc] I just need you to hold his hand and let him try and help you while you lay your other on Cp.

[BEN] - You want me to touch the hissing ball of piss over there?

[Doc] Only for a moment, Lie can you keep him still?

[Lie] - Sure- She goes over to her mate and places a bit of pressure on CP with her hands to keep him still

[Deer] -Here, BEN? I'll hold Hyrule for you

[Notch] Offers a hand to BEN-

[BEN] Hands Hyrule over to Deer before awkwardly taking Notch's hand and reaching for the hissing CP-

[CP] Growls the entire time-

[Notch] Tries to reach out to BEN mentally, focused on amplifying his anti-insanity wave-length.

[CP] Shudders as he hunkers down-

[BEN] Soon pulls his hand away- Well, if he was infected, he's not now

[Doc] Thank you BEN. He's been being horrible the last couple of days and it's a really abrupt change. And then Slender offered him some protection from the thing in his nightmares and... I'm just worried he's being influenced.

[BEN] - Wait Slender gave him protection? That would explain it. It's like a subdued version of what he does with his proxies usually. A proxy can have two completely different personalities depending on the terms of their contract. Some aren't even aware they're proxies

[Doc] Grinds hir teeth - Dammit... then I know what we need and Cp, you're taking that fucking scroll if I have to shove it up your ass. Notch, I need you to help one more time. Lie? I need the purifying flame Xophiel gave you.

[Lie] - I can try?

[BEN] - Woah woah woah! On other pasta's it's temporary! I don't think we have anything to worry about!

[Doc] Not if he's going to pull the bullshit he tried a few minutes ago! He threw a bucket of lava at me in a room with wooden furniture and two baby dragons playing under the table!

[BEN] - Well at least he threw it in a bucket?

[snake] and I was almost next to doc

[Doc] A bucket that I couldn't catch cause my hands were full.

[BEN] - Um...

[Doc] How would you like it if he tried that in your house? You have a little one to protect as well.

[CP] Has been silent this whole time-

[snake] I am pretty sure that would burn the tree down and gem would get pissed

[Doc] Exactly. And maybe I'm just paranoid, but I suspect this may be deliberate.

[Lie] Finally manages to conjure her purifying flame-

[Doc] Some nasty little ploy to turn us all against him now that he has friends and family and isn't always availble to be Slenders right hand.

[BEN] - I highly doubt that it's deliberate, other than trying to defend a member of his household that is

[Notch] Is watching Lie's fire. He puts a hand near the light to see if there's any warmpth.

[Doc] Then it's convenient for him at least... I don't trust Slender at all.

[BEN] - We do

[Doc] Then that's up to you BEN. Slender would like to convert or kill me. I'm just as entitled to my opinion as you are.

[BEN] - He's the best option out there for our kind...

[Doc] Out there, perhaps. In here? I disagree.

[BEN] Just looks down-

[Doc] I'm not trying to turn you against him BEN. I told you you're free to come and go and I meant it. But I. I cannot afford to trust him.

[BEN] - Whatever

[Lie] - It's alright to touch Notch- The flame is almost cool to touch

[Notch] Puts his fingertips into, it hesitantly allowing the flow to touch him in return. It's cool and clean and lifts his spirts immensely, not even understanding how he turns it back on her doubly strong and even brighter.

[Lie] Yelps in surprise and accidentally puts the flame out-

[Notch] I'm sorry Lie! Did I hurt you?

[Lie] - No, no not at all, just surprised me

[Notch] Try again? For Cp?

[Lie] - Yeah- She concentrates and brings the flame back again

[Notch] Reaches for the flames that are dancing in his flat black eyes. He puts his hand on the back of Lie's and the flames grow brighter and higher, until she seems to be holding a radiant star with five dim lines where her fingers wrap the shimmering surface.

[Lie] Glances at CP- So how are we doing this?

[Notch] I guess, just touch him?

[Lie] Takes a bit of the flame into her other hand and touches CP with it-

[CP] Grumbles before purring a little-

[Doc] That sounds promising...

[Notch] Is still staring at the fire. - It's so pretty Lie....

[Lie] - It was a gift

[Doc] From a very interesting angel with the face of a bird.

[CP] - An asshole angel is more like it

[Lie] - Just because they dropped your pick on your head does not make them an asshole CP

[Doc] At least they brought it to you instead of leaving it out there...

[CP] - Plus they interfered when I was looking into a dream...

[Doc] That's odd, who's dream was it?

[CP] - Weirdo kid's mom

[Doc] Dolly? Well I guess that makes sense. Xophiel seems to have a particular interest in them.

[Notch] Takes his hand away from Lie's - Cp... are you feeling any different?

[CP] - ... Kinda?

[Doc] Better then nothing. Here, take this just in case- Xe slides the scroll across the table so it sucks into his inventory.

[CP] Immediately tosses it back out- I'm fine! I can feel that Slender's protection is still there!

[Doc] Puts hir hand on the roll- But you said you felt different?

[Notch] Is this really just a chemical thing? Mid-life crisis or something?

[CP] - It kinda does?

[Flux] - I can no longer feel Her aura, but there is another one... One which would normally elicit a fear response...

[Doc] So maybe she's using Slenders protection as a conduit to get to Cp?

[BEN] - See!? I told you Slender wasn't doing anything backhanded!

[Doc] I think I can be forgiven for my suspicions. He's delt with me dishonestly before.

[BEN] Hmph's-

[Lie] Dismisses the flame and picks her mate up-

[CP] Rubs against his mate-

[Doc] I think it's silverfish time again. Cp? Can I have that egg back?

[CP] - Whyyyyyyyyyyy?

[Doc] I'm going to recode it, so it will go off if you're being influenced from outside. I think I know what I'm looking for now.

[CP] Grumbles but kicks the egg out-

[Doc] Fusses with the egg, redoing it's frequency - I'm changing this so it makes a noise too. It's for our safety and so you know that you're losing control and need to fight it. Or at least go the bathroom and compose yourself until it passes.

[CP] - Oh fuck you

[Doc] What? It's no good as an alarm if only you can hear it. What's a good noise?

[Deer] - How about him just yelling?

[Notch] Thunder would be appropo....

[CP] - I hate all of you

[Notch] Don't say that...

[Doc] Well I don't hate you! Otherwise I wouldn't spend so much time trying to help you!

[Lie] - He's just being grumpy right now

[Doc] Grumbles. Seriously. Pick a noise.

[Notch] What about the Blaze sound? It's not loud enough to be super startling, but it is unnerving enough to catch your attention.

[Lie] - Good point

[Deer] - That would certainly work, so long as one of us isn't near the blaze in the lab at the time it goes off

[Bianca] -yells for deer-

[Deer] - Oh, Doc? Would you mind coming with me? Bianca would like to speak

[Doc] Is startled, xe breaks the egg accidently and the coded silverfish goes scuttling across the table. - Dammit!

[CP] Snickers-

[Notch] Scrabbles at the silverfish-

[Deer] Lunges for the silverfish-

[Notch] Bonks into Deer and gets poked in the eye with one of the points on her antlers- OW!

[Deer] - Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

[Silverfish] Changes directions and heads towards Lie-

[Lie] - Ummmm...

[CP] Leaps out of Lie's arms and kills the silverfish- Ha

[Silverfish] Busts into pixels that vanish into Cp's fur-

[Doc] Well then... that's going to be really hard to code if I need to change it later. Way to find a more permenant solution Cp.

[CP] Sticks tongue out-

[Deer] - Love, Bianca?

[Doc] Blep.

[Deer] Takes Doc's hand- Come now, let's go- She hands Hyrule back to BEN

[Doc] Just go go talk to them for a minute. I need to take care of Hyrule real quick. - Xe leans over the baby and uses the tiniest bit of statick to begin to pare off the childs sharp little nails.

[Deer] - Alright- She heads down to the lab and the recovery room- Bianca?

[BEN] - Be careful!

[Doc] I am, I am.. - Starts on the little toenails-

[BEN] Watches worriedly-

[Doc] Finishes up with a little tickle on the babies belly- There you go. All better now.

[BEN] Cradles Hyrule and looks at him happily- My son...

[Doc] Do you mind of I give him a little code check up while you're here? Just a scan.

[BEN] - Okay...

[Doc] Holds hir command block in one hand and scans over the other digital entity. - There you go. That was easy. Looks good. No errors at all. He's a perfectly healthy boy.

[BEN] - Good, we think he's almost ready to start crawling...

[Doc] Gently- some of your fellow pastas are apparently quite interested in his progress.

[BEN] Growls- Who....

[Doc] It's okay! Apparently someone called Judge Angels and another called Bloody Painter have been trying to concieve. I think that if your child with Aven is normal and healthy, they might willingly trade their Insanity so they can have a baby of their own.

[BEN] - Those two...

[Doc] I don't actually know them, what are they like?

[BEN] - Judge Angel, she was abused because her eyes were different, they look like the void. Her sense of "Justice" is because her father was a judge. Only person she ever really liked was her mom, ended up carrying her mom's body around in a suitcase for a few weeks before the police caught up to her I think... She beheads her victims with this sword... We're not sure but we think the sword is supernatural. Bloody Painter on the other hand, well they were bullied and figured out a way to keep blood's natural red color once out of the body. Everything they paint usually is with blood now and the two will sometimes work together. Judge beheading, Painter gathering and using the blood.

[Bianca] oh sorry i was in the bathroom deer

[Deer] - Why did you call for me?

[Bianca] i wanted to meet everyone

[Doc] Well fuck... I guess it's safe to assume they'll both be protective parents at least? Since they know how it is to be ostracized and bullied?

[BEN] Shrugs- That's pretty much how all of the pasta's are when it comes to things they view as theirs...

[Doc] Ah well, -Xe gives Yaunfen a soft smile - we're all learning as we go aren't we?

[Yaunfen] - Burp!

[Doc] Leans down to give Yaunfen a kiss on the snout- love you.

[Yaunfen] - Fuck!

[BEN] Snorts in amusement-

[snake] -giggles at the what yaunfen say-

[Doc] Sighs- I'm looking forward to you learning some more words kiddo.

[hyrule] -is pulling at ben's shirt just because he can-

[BEN] - Hm? What is it kiddo?

[hyrule] dada

[BEN] - Yes?

[hyrule] -points to ben- dada

[Notch] is idly flicking his fingers and runs a thumb over Cp's tail tip. ( just like you would with a normal cat)

[BEN] - Yeah, I'm dada

[CP] If Lie weren't holding him, he'd turn and try to attack-

[hyrule] -smiles-

[Notch] Notices what he's doing- ah sorry Cp. I've spent so much time around cats it's just second nature to touch. Speaking of such... How's Grinny?

[CP] - The fuck should I know?

[Notch] Haven't seen him around lately.

[Doc] I think he just likes to sulk and hide. He's around here somewhere. Probably avoiding LH.

[Lie] - Well, I think I'll take CP home now so I can change him back

[Doc] Okay. Can I have him for a minute?

[Lie] Okay- CP is already growling at the thought as Lie puts him on the table

[CP] - Why the fuck do you want me!?

[Doc] Because I'm going to hug your ass you mean little fucker. -Doc encircles him with hir arms and gives the red cat a bit of a squeeze - don't you dare go and sulk. I'm your friend whether you like it or not. - lets go-

[CP] Bolts for the stairs-

[Lie] Sighs and follows-

-There's the sound of a fire ball hitting a door before Lie can get there-
