PENDULUM Epilogue

A TIME CAPSULE AU ONESHOT CONTINUATION

A/N: sooooo Mango shared a little tidbit of information I didn't know about her AU. Pomni and Gangle are ROOMMATES... oh no.

WARNING: none, just teasing friends

~~~

Gangle stayed out late hanging out with Ragatha and Kinger. It was nice to have time to just relax with good conversation when they were finally off the clock. Now, she wanted to go to bed. The light to her and Pomni's room was out, so she figured Pomni had gone to bed already.

She quietly opened the door and tip-toed into the room. As she passed Pomni's bed, she did a double take. There were TWO figures in Pomni's bed. In the very faint light of a nightlight on her own nightstand she could make out the unmistakable silhouette of Caine laying next to Pomni. He was fully clothed and on top of her sheets, but they were still holding one another in a comforting embrace.

She held her hands over her mouth to muffle the gasp she involuntarily made. She danced silently in place, freaking out over what she was witnessing. She'd noticed how Pomni and Caine would look at one another, and even how they spoke. It was very obvious to her that they were attracted to one another but couldn't express it thanks to BUBLE's rules.

After her little freak out, she was suddenly stuck with a dilemma. What does she do now? Should she just go to bed and pretend she saw nothing? Should she find somewhere else to sleep? Pomni wouldn't just forget that she sleeps here too, right?

She felt a little awkward going to bed knowing that those two would get up and interact with her in the morning. So, she grabbed a blanket and a pillow and slept in the closet. It was surprisingly comfortable, her spindly body fit easily in the smaller space.

Caine woke first, then woke Pomni. They both needed to get ready for work. He stood, stretched and straightened his wrinkled vest.

Pomni got up and started pulling out her performing clothes. "Thank you, for staying with me last night. I really needed you- IT. It... So, thanks." She flustered at her slip, brushing bed head hair out of her eyes.

Caine was better at hiding his fluster from what she said, but it still makes his chest feel fuzzy. "It was my pleasure, Pomni. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better this morning. I've got to run, but I look forward to hearing your performances today. They make my days better."

Pomni gave him a smile, her heart melting.

As Caine was on his way out, in of the corner of his eye, he noticed a second bed in the room. Then a cold Spike of panic hit him. He completely forgot...Gangle sleeps here too. The bed was empty, where was she? Maybe he got lucky and she didn't come back to the room last night. Maybe she stayed with someone else. He walked a bit faster out the door.

Gangle burst from the closet. "I KNEW IT!!"

Pomni let out a short scream, throwing her hairbrush across the room. "AH!! Wha- Gangle!?!? What are you doing in the closet???"

"Uh, because this is my room too?? Did that little detail slip your mind??? Never mind, we're not talking about me! YOU AND CAINE!? HELLO!?"

Pomni went bright pink. "It's not what it looks like! Nothing happened! We just- he- I needed-....ugh." She sighed heavily, facepalming. "I'm sorry, Gangle. I was in such a state yesterday that I didn't consider how you'd feel about me inviting Caine to stay. Were you in the closet all night?"

"Yes, and it was rather cozy. I might do it again. BUT LIKE I SAID, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ME!! You ACTUALLY invited him to STAY in your BED!? How uncharacteristically reckless of you." Gangle teased. "I don't mind, but give a girl a little warning. I almost had a heart attack when I saw him there last night."

"You- you saw-"

"Mmhm" Gangle's smirk grew. "You two got rather cuddly. It was adorable."

Pomni's pink cheeks darkened. "Please, don't tell anyone. I don't want Caine to get in trouble on my behalf. Not again."

Gangle ran her ribbon hand over her lopsided mouth. "I'm a woman of my word. What happens off the clock, stays off the clock. You better hurry up and get dressed, your boyfriend's waiting for you to play for him." She bounced her eyebrows.

Pomni wanted to scream from embarrassment. "We're not in any kind of relationship. He just...I needed some comfort last night. That's all."

"Uh-huh, and I'm the Queen of England." Gangle sarcastically replied. "Next time you have him over, put a sock or something on the doorknob. I need to know if I should go bunk with Ragatha for the night."

Pomni grabbed a pillow and screeched into it.

Ah why thank you ~

I'm quite fond of her myself too

[moshieee]

Not going to finish this so enjoy these sketches in reference to that one meme

[moshieee]

Mini comic about how Gangles face/"masks" work now

I spent too much time on this bc I kept zoning out

The faces can be separated whichever one has the flame is the current "face" and the other has to be re-attached to the body

[moshieee]

Shopping... have these nightlight au doodles for today

[moshieee]

Nightlight au sketches...

Trying to push through art block

I think I'm starting to finalize some of the designs which is good

I want to start sketching the stories soon

[moshieee]

Someone take my drawing supplies away from me

He's a jackalope (a prank)

Do you get it?

Also yea Gangle still doesn't like being her sad face side

[moshieee]

Fudge it,

colors later

concepts now

These will obviously change as I figure more stuff out

Now excuse me while I go back to drawing floffis after fighting myself on make or not making an au for almost an hour

I'll work on the other designs later

[moshieee]

What character makes you want to melt into a puddle the most?

When it comes to negativity... Currently my own sona because I'm frustrated with the hair... (outside of that probably Kinger)

If it comes to positively... All most all of the moon side characters ✨ specifically Gangle I love her so much

Basically me when drawing nightlight designs I finished vs me when trying to develop nightlight au kingers design

[moshieee]

Hello There!

So I see that you have came up with the Nightlight au and I love the fact how the sun and moon are in charge plus the fact that Gangle now has a candle head instead of the porcelain mask is just creative.

So I drew down a quick idea

I try to make out more of his background information when I can but for now I have thought of some stuff.

In this Au I believe that Norman would be the type on the moon side due to the fact that the original variant never sleeps yet he's never tired so here that is the exact opposite; always sleeping barely awake and wakes up at the most random times.

He's like a walking pillow with how much fluffy clothing he wears so he's practically always in a deep sleep.

But due to how much he sleeps he somehow gets all his quests done no one on the night or sun side know except maybe the moon herself?

If there were a case where both sides would have to work together Norman would just wake up out of no where and say a smart idea just to fall back asleep again.

But still this background info so far is still a WIP but I will hopefully be complete with it when I get the chance but yeah I've been liking this au from from what I've seen and I hope you have a good day 👍

(And yes those are night time slippers)

Aahhh!!! :D

I've seen you with your character in a few other AUs and I'm honored to be included

I love the idea of a very sleepy guy waking up suddenly and giving advice then falling back asleep! (my auntie is kind of like that during car rides)

tho I should probably mention that in the design process every character has attributes of some sort of myth or fokelore in their design!! I can't wait to see where you take this idea if you decide to continue !!

And I'm realizing I really need to make more comics for the au but I really want to finish the nightmare maze comic first....

But I need to run some experiments with how Tumblr format's stuff first...

[moshieee]

Do you have any news of your nightlight au?

Currently just figuring out zoobles and kingers designs

Idk why but I'm struggling with them so much

I have the settings and several "adventures" in mind

Over all it will still be the same characters just different situations I like their personalities too much

You could probably see that when Jax tried to separate Gangles faces
