#p.i.e. team

[corvidaeconundrum]

These are stupid but I thought they were funny lol, hope they’re good enough to tie yall over in these trying times

Been feeling really down lately so its been hard to pull myself into doing any art. Planning to fix that!

Cant make any promises though, but I do have a lot on my mind for future stuff. A new au my mind conjured mayhaps. Perchance. (I keep making them i cant stop im infected. diseased)

[lunadreamscaper]

Pony Town and P.I.E. Posting because

Here’s the P.I.E. Team. (I’m not giving them pants that’s stupid/j)

Here’s Gavin and Jimmy.

Also I know Allicorns are like special in the original show but just pretend that this is just a special au where VT world is just a bunch of ponies and being an allicorn means your royal bc I’m bad at choosing also it looks cool.

Also here’s Josh because she’s a P.I.E. Member in my heart. (Her cutie mark is a pumpkin bc she used to be a pumpkin farmer in her home dimension)

I might share more of these… later. Soon. Who knows.

[limeston-lane]

The Paranormal Investigators Extraordinaire (P.I.E) as Toons!

Additional details of the team below...

In a Toontown AU, they're definitely owning a business. Working for Toons and the occasional Cogs who didn't know they were a Toon buisness. Probably in Toontown Central. As well as their TV show, which airs on public channels.

Jimmy Casket still exists, but often would turn against the team with Cogs or to generally mess with them. He still exists as a threat due to working with said Cogs.

Toast's werewolf-ism works as him turning into a wolf Toon whenever it's night. Which usually happens in Drowsy Dreamland.

Back From The Dead ability is basically a second wind type of thing. Even once they've greened, they'll have one more life before they officially green.

Colon can still detect ghosts and can hear them as well. Spooker's diet still consists of peanut butter and tap water. Beanie Buddies forever!!!

Ghost has Trap, Colon has Drop, Spooker has Toon-Up, and Toast has Lure.

OC Questionnaire

tagged by: the lovely @kaylinalexanderbooks thank you!

tagging: Open Tag as usual, and softly tagging @thegreatobsesso | @mysticstarlightduck | @winterandwords | @chayscribbles

Your OC interview questions are: 1) What's your go to coffee order (or equivalent for a fantasy/sci-fi world)? 2) What is the first thing you notice about your appearance when you look in the mirror VS the first thing other people notice when they see you? 3) Who would you consider to be your closest friend and why?

My questions: 1) What is your stance on lying? 2) Do you enjoy people watching? 3) What is the best decision you ever made?

I'll answer with two OCs that are my absolute faves and two that I need to develop more: Princess Snow (FSF), Nickelle (TCIO), Astra (GD), and Tris (FSF).

Responses under the cut cus this is long XD:

Snow (Fractured Stars Falling WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Snow folds her arms and says firmly, "Even if it's for a good reason I don't like it. My stepmother used lies to hurt me and others, I won't use them unless absolutely necessary, and even then I'm going to feel terrible about it the whole time. I refuse to be that kind of queen."

Do you enjoy people watching?

"No, not really. It feels weird to watch people without a reason to be doing so. It feels dishonest and sneaky to me."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Snow swallows harshly, clenching a fist as she holds back tears and avoids looking at the person who asked the question. "I finally saw through my stepmother's lies. I took over the throne and had her thrown into the deepest dungeon of the palace, after years of giving her excuses and too many second chances. But I was too late to... to save my best friend from getting killed by her because of my stupid mistakes..."

Nickelle (The City is Ours WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Nickelle bristles at the question, looking at the person who asked suspiciously. Then she shrugs, picking at the glove of her superhero suit. "If it's for a good cause, I'd say it's fine."

Do you enjoy people watching?

She thinks about it for a moment, fiddling with the patches on her leather jacket. "From a distance, in the city yes. If you can get up to one of the rooftops and sit on the edge it's a great spot to watch people go by."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Nickelle looks around to see if anyone is watching or listening in. "I made a choice to protect this city and my team. Other people might not like my methods, but I'm doing what I have to. Hence why I have to do it under another identity, since other people might have... more negative feelings about my methods. I don't like it either, but this has to be done."

Astra (Galaxy Destroyer WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Astra shrugs, and says like a true thief and space pirate, "Oh yeah it's fine. Sometimes it's the only way to get what you need. Especially in a galaxy where P.I.E. made everything so damn expensive. If I need to lie and steal to live, I'm fine with that."

Do you enjoy people watching?

Astra looks around for potential targets. "For a chance to make a little money off of an unsuspecting idiot? Absolutely, it's not just enjoyable, it's how I make a living."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Astra thinks for a minute, going through all the things she's done and stolen as a space pirate, and all the times she made a not so smart move. "Well one of the worst decisions I ever made was trusting another pirate on a job, he stabbed me in the back and left me high and dry. I don't know about the best decision though, maybe becoming a thief despite the mixed results? Mixed results yes, but I can't imagine being anything else, and the benefits outweigh the risks- in my opinion."

Tris (Fractured Stars Falling WIP)

What is your stance on lying?

Tris presses her lips into a thin line, her hand tightly gripping the hilt of her sword at her side. "Only if it's for a really good reason, and no one gets hurt. Otherwise, lying is just wrong."

Do you enjoy people watching?

She shrugs, the cloud of tight coils that make up her hair bouncing with the movement. "I never really thought about it. Kaye and I prefer to keep to ourselves most of the time. Watching people for no reason has never really interested me."

What is the best decision you ever made?

Tris thinks about it hard for a minute. "I'm not sure, maybe entering the fighting tournament for the prince's hand to get out of my stepfamily's... well it's my family's house but they were going to kick me out at some point anyway. Anyways, joining the tournament to get away from them... well it got me away from them, but I saw and did things in that area that I wish I hadn't... but on the other hand, if I hadn't done that, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to see Kaye again and spend more time with him. Despite the terrible circumstances..."

[feathered-moths-ablaze]

I mean he has a twin brother who's known of disguise and that we know little of other than his family. Who's to say Johnny got some tricks from Gavin?

Listen, friends.

I am NOT claiming Johnny Ghost is a big fat liar lying dishonest fibber.

BUT

He does love to claim PIE is US government affiliated which would make zero sense considering (depending on what lore you believe) Johnny Toast is the queen of englands grandson. That’s gotta be some kind of security breach there’s no way.

[obsidiancreates]

Now I can't stop imagining Psych and P.I.E crossovers. Remember how it's Canon that Jimmy can, at least temporarily, hop to other hosts sometimes (I go by the "Jimmy is a demon" line of thinking)?

I can't stop imagining him just causing chaos by hoping between both teams before eventually landing back in Ghost again.

[overthinkingtaleblr]

Out of P.I.E who would be most likely to be a blanket thief?

Okay, let’s go down the list, least to most likely to steal a blanket out of the four who are most likely to share a blanket with each other.

We already established that the Tall Johnny runs hot. Toast doesn’t even sleep with a blanket, he sleeps with a light sheet without a shirt on. If someone manages to get a blanket on his body, he will wriggle until its off of him and continue dozing peacefully.

Despite being the one with the least connection to ghosts, I think Chris sleeps like the dead. He doesn’t move in his sleep at all, so he can’t really steal blankets. He do be snoozing, and he is probably the easiest to take a proper blanket from. He will steal his blanket back in the morning and just walk away with it.

Next is Short Johnny. Ghost runs very cold, so he is covered in blankets and a SINGLE draft could lead him to grab the nearest blanket on the bed. I imagine there have been several particularly cold nights where the people he’s sleeping with wake up with NOTHING on their body. Because Ghost is crazy.

Fred “The Spooker” Soup moves the most in his sleep and I could see him as a sleep hugger. Like, if he doesn’t have a person, a pillow, or some kind of stuffed animal between his arms, he will start bunching the blanket up while unconscious. He is the most likely to steal the blanket if he does not take the proper precautions.

And since I haven’t been consistently answering asks recently, I want to give as much as possible with this! P.I.E adjacent stuff under the cut!

First off, as MANY interns as I can list off the top of my head. These guys are no longer sharing the same bed for the record.

Jenny Ghost doesn’t even use a blanket, and she would sleep on the floor if she could help it. She’s not a blanket thief, she’s barely a blanket-user.

Mabeline solely uses hand-made snuggies bc he doesn’t trust a single person in the world not to steal his blankets. If he actually shared a blanket with someone, he has an arm hooked on the blankets so he doesn’t lose them.

As I see her (a Dullahan) Jenny Toast doesn’t sleep, and when she’s lying down with someone with a blanket, she’d only steal the blanket if she thought it would be funny. And she often thinks its funny.

Leonard Malkovich has been married to a blanket thief for over a decade, it’s to the point where he has become one in turn. SMH, sometimes you become what you seek to destroy.

WHEN they ever manage to knock him out, Spencer Acachalla is Schrödinger's blanket thief. If there is a blanket near him and he’s asleep, he’s not stealing the blanket until he is. Like, he keeps inching under it, and it’s not a problem until it very suddenly is… or never is. He’s an enigma.

Josh THRASHES in their sleep. Maybe they don’t steal it ON PURPOSE, but that blanket is not staying on anybody when they’re done with it.

Alberto Guppy will consciously take any blanket he sees off of someone who is sleeping. He is the sole reason why people no longer bring blankets to PIE’s home base, he will try to steal them.

Former Members including the OG PIE team and deceased former friends to the team <3

‘Dark Pit’ has learned to tuck the blanket under him when sleeping with friends. Not like it matters, he’s a very light sleeper so any ATTEMPT to get the blanket wakes him up.

Johnny Ghost Senior is a side-sleeper who can only fall asleep if he’s on top of his hands. Peewee does not understand it, but it stops him from stealing the blanket.

While Katrina is actively not a blanket thief, she does kick in her sleep.

Mary Toast doesn’t steal blankets in her sleep, but she would take one off of a friend if she was cold and they were passed out. Specifically if it was Toast, considering he’d probably prefer not to have a blanket…

Ronnie Boast only ever moves in his sleep to take BACK stolen blanket space. It’s like clockwork, too.

Similar to Josh, Johnny Roast does not sleep easily. Unlike Josh, he ACTIVELY steals blankets during his thrashing. It’s not an accident, he is pulling them onto his body.

T.Casket.

Woah also doesn’t sleep, but she likes to sit wrapped in warm blankets like a burrito, and it becomes a problem when she realizes she can take Any blanket off of Any sleeping person at ANY time.

Those are all the ones I can think of/Ones that I think would be funny.

[k9ok]

Should we give Jenny and Jenny an extra member or 2 like how P.I.E has Spooker and Colon? If so, who would it be?

I think having Josh join their team could be very interesting, and I believe they actually interact in their debut video if I'm not mistaken (that being in the BYW story)

Who else though.... Maybe we can give them Johnny Cranky for fun? Maybe someone like Apupu Soup?

What do you guys think?

[cardboardfrnd]

a thought: how do we think the p.i.e team were like in college. who attended who dropped out mid semester who just didnt go at all

[dehliman]

@hazlewolf-43 “P.I.E team shenanigans.”

Absolutely the four to ever <3

[corvidaeconundrum]

Thinking about that P.I.E rewrite again (May make some more art cause gat damn)

[midnightthelynxbat]

Venturiantale Headcannons/Bullshit

Despite the fact that most of them would take a while to explain because of my chaos. I badly want to share the stories I've made of these fuckers, and this might be a fun start. Only focusing on the P.I.E team and some of the ghosts (plus Jimmy and Gavin). Some characters won't have as much as others due to either being underdeveloped or the headcannons are already cannon or common in the Fandom (like Spooker being an anime fan and having a plushie collection). I might do more if this goes well.

Also, as a heads up- there's some mentions of nsfw scenarios like smut and moaning- just because I know some people can be uncomfortable with that. I say this as drugs and alcohol are pretty common in this Fandom, but-

Johnny Ghost:

- He's an absolute jackass to Spooker. Extremely harsh on him for even the smallest things. Despite this, Ghost actually loves Spooker. Sees him as a son. The reason he's hard on Spooker is because he sees himself in Spooker (even if he doesn't fully know why cause Jimmy).

- Jimmy is why he doesn't remember his childhood. Jimmy's creation created a barrier to block out the memories. Basically, Johnny Ghost remembers nothing, but Jimmy remembers everything.

- Ghost eats like he won't ever get food again due to childhood trauma that I will explain in another post. Even if it's something small, like a candy bar, he will scarf it down. He usually ends up choking on food because of this.

- Ghost still can't read in my stories. He can't read or write, but he's oddly skilled at drawing. He actually draws the entity examples in the books Toast writes.

- Ghost is poly and bisexual, currently in a three-way relationship with Toast and Josh. They illegitimately adopted Spooker.

- Ghost is actually related to Spooker, but he never found out until much later. To make a long story short, he was adopted by Barnacle Soup, who later had Spooker.

- Ghost loves to embarrass Toast. His favorite thing to do is have Toast read smut for him and make the poor man imitate the voices. Just fuckin-

Toast: "He moaned out a-"

Ghost: "You better fucking moan it this time."

- He drinks coffee like it's the only thing keeping him alive. At least 6 cups a day. Bastard is the type to say "sleep is for cowards" but then regret the fact he hasn't slept for 3 days straight.

Johnny Toast:

- Toast is an absolute ball of anxiety when it comes to leading the team. He constantly second guesses and doubts himself no matter how hard he tries. Despite this, he's the mother of the team. If you need some life advice, a shoulder to cry on and a snack to make you feel better, Toast is who you go to.

- In this version of them, Toast is actually the one who created the drug version of macaroni. There's normal macaroni, but Toast accidentally discovered what spices to mix to create drug-like effects. However, it can't be taken in large portions. A small dose, like a spoonful, can have the calming and mellowed effects of weed. But a whole box? You're seeing God, and he's riding a unicorn.

- Toast has two werewolf forms. They actually look the same, but what makes them different is what caused them. His werewolf form is controlled by emotion. Negative emotions will result in the violent version, which will listen to no one and will rip apart anyone that gets close. It only listens to Ghost and Josh. The other is brought on by positive emotions. It's basically a giant, overlyfriendly husky.

- Toast has to wear glasses. He has two pairs: his casual ones (they have little crystals hanging from them), his formal ones (just a thin, gray frame), and then the contact lenses he wears on missions.

- Toast eventually manages to reconnect with Gavin. However, in order to do so, Gavin ripped Toast's throat out. But unlike Gavin, Toast had the people and resources to revive properly. Gavin didn't.

- Sometimes, the werewolf form will take partial control and it comes with a chance of Toast having some dog-like qualities. From the ability to actually growl and bark, to the urge to chase something that someone threw, to begging for food. Just this 6'6 man sitting on the floor beside Ghost as Ghost eats and gives him big ol' puppy dog eyes just to get a bite. It's times like this that he's more likely to accept a head pat.

- Toast is also bi and polyamorous.

- Every now and then, he'll see Mary's spirit in his dreams and gets to talk to her. She's accepting of his choice to try and move on.

- He cut ties with his family almost completely after realizing the abuse and manipulation they were doing to him and his siblings.

Spooker:

- Spooker absolutely looks up to Ghost as both an icon and a father figure. He adores that man with every fiber of his being.

- Surprisingly, Spooker is the fastest in the entire group. Due to how often he was chosen as bait, he's now able to run at about 10 miles per hour- and that's when he isn't panicking and actually running for his life.

- He's also the youngest in the team at 19 (Toast and Ghost are both in their 40s and Colon is 20.)

- He's the only one that really tries to befriend the ghosts even if they're trying to kill him. It actually ended up with some of the ghosts either protecting him or going for the rest of the team instead.

- He tries to imitate his teammates sometimes. He'll imitate Toast's accent, Ghost's sarcasm, or Colon's style. He's not trying to mock them at all, but he tries to show his affection for their little details like this.

- Spooker is surprisingly more skilled than most people around him think. He's not strong by any means, but due to his connections to certain ghosts and people (and a P.I.E team oc), he's learned to use his smaller size against enemies.

- He is pan, but not very interested in much intimacy. He'd prefer to just cuddle and talk

Colon:

- Colon has a surprisingly stunning sense of style. He can pull off any outfit. Hoodies, flannels, suits, dresses- you name it, he can do it. He's also extremely skilled with makeup- his favorite pallete is black and blue.

- He sometimes takes up a bit of a second job as a drag performer (right now, his drag name is just the warrior name I gave him: Pooling Amber). He's extremely skilled with it and shocks everyone with how flamboyant he can be.

- He's almost terrifyingly calm. Almost nothing gets under his skin- even the end of the world wouldn't send a single chill down his spine. You know if he's upset, something is horribly wrong.

- He does practice witchcraft and the dark arts- started to learn it after the drama with Cranky (which lasts longer because of oc). He meets up with Cranky and another oc to practice and learn.

- He's probably the strongest in the team alongside Ghost. The two of them are the main ones fighting the ghosts while Spooker is bait and Toast does the research (with Ghost's help).

- He was the one to find a way to seperate Jimmy from Ghost, using a sort of potion to officially split the soul and a spell to give Jimmy a physical body. It was a gruesome scene- best described as Ghost crumbling to his knees and feeling like he's vomiting up his intestines. They're both fine.

- He is bi, but leans more towards men. He's in the same boat as Spooker and isn't really into intimacy. But he's a lot less of a talker. He likes to listen to Spooker ramble.

Jimmy:

- Jimmy's body after being separated is entirely made up of this weird, ink-like substance. He can adjust the solidity of it- allowing him to scare people by melting his face away. He's perfectly fine while doing it, but it takes him a while to rebuild the body back into a fully solid state.

- Jimmy is a cursed being. A fucking gremlin. Because of the substance his body is made of, he's able to melt his hands to climb up walls. He loves to hang upside down and smile at his victims.

- He's surprisingly not wanting to kill the team. He finds them fun and will actually visit him. Admittedly, it's not for great reasons- like he enjoys chasing Spooker around the house on all fours just to scare the poor thing.

- Jimmy and Ghost have a complicated relationship- more like siblings than anything. They both know full well they're technically the same person, and they've known about each other since Jimmy was created. While Jimmy is a bastard that ruins Ghost's life and destroys things he loved and his image, they do care for each other. They grew up together sharing the same body- but now that they're split, they have a better connection.

- Jimmy had a crush on Gavin Toast since Ghost and Toast first met. Due to Jimmy's crush and Ghost wanting to make him happy, Ghost and Gavin had a one night stand in their late teenage years. Ghost let Jimmy take over during this to let him enjoy the night since Ghost had no romantic interest in Gavin.

- When Jimmy got his own body, he took up a form with a similar appearance to their father, Timothy Casket. Whether this is intentional or accidental, I don't know yet- Ghost has more similar appearances to their mother.

- He's gay and kind of unsurprisingly more interested in intimacy than romance.

Gavin:

- He should be dead. Simple as that. The event between him and Toast resulted in him getting torn apart, but the biggest thing that was damaged/removed was Gavin's heart. Not in a "Oh, he's heartbroken" way. Toast ripped Gavin's heart from his chest. It was only thanks to Jimmy that Gavin was able to rebuild the body and repossess it.

- Gavin has to replace some of his body parts at times because they get too rotten since theres no proper blood flow to them. Just Toast going to check on Gavin to find him in the bathroom, stitching a new chin to his face. The old, rotting one just sitting on the counter.

- Gavin's fire extends beyond just his hands. He's like Peril in Wings of Fire. He's constantly burning on the inside, which also increases his body heat to the point that sitting next to him is like sitting beside a fireplace. He can use the fire anywhere along his body. Take steps and leave burning footprints, let out a sigh and a plume of smoke comes from his mouth- he doesn't even have to light a cigarette to smoke it.

- He knew about Jimmy long before the one night stand. He's not dumb. He noticed Ghost's eyes changing to red. He's seen Jimmy watching him from the next door window. He knows full well and wasn't surprised at all when Jimmy revealed himself properly.

- His powers are hereditary. He gets them from his grandfather on his mother's side (his mother isn't from royalty).

- Gavin has always been pretty open about the fact he's interested in men. It's one of the reasons his parents didn't like him at all. They wanted to keep a "perfect image" and believed Gavin was ruining it.

Maxwell:

- Surprisingly a gentle giant. Mostly around Aimee. She's the only one keeping him calm and she's the only one he trusts to show kindness to. He even gifted her a little half mask made of roses to show her his care.

- Half of his face is molten. It's just a bloody mess of molten flesh that drips off as he moves. When global of it hit the floor, it immediately fizzles away and disintegrates. Due to the fact that it was the shock of having acid poured on his face that killed him, the acid didn't get a chance to melt completely through. This is why his spirit is shown with the bloody mess.

- He was born with ghastly white pupils. Even as an infant, people were scared of him because his ice blue eyes seemed to glow in the dark. The white pupils are not from blindness.

- He still cares for the Acachalla family. Due to my insanity cursing the story, Papa is not his brother or his cousin. Maxwell is Papa and Gertrude's only biological child. And due to Papa being an extremely abusive man (this is mostly because his entire character is painfully similar to my own abusive father), the family was trapped with constant abuse. Papa blamed Maxwell for it all and forged evidence, which resulted in Maxwell getting killed. Maxwell does not blame the rest of the family.

- Maxwell accidentally killed Katrina. Gertrude fell ill for some time, and Maxwell wanted to help his mother, but no job would take him, and he needed money fast. So he hid his identity and committed crimes. He stole Katrina's purse by chance while she was out with Ghost, and the two chased him. Maxwell held Katrina hostage in a panic to keep Ghost away, but Ghost charged and made Maxwell flinch- which coaxed him to pull the trigger and shoot Katrina. This was the night Ghost was going to propose to her.

Aimee:

- She's not a stalker in any manner in the story. However, people fear her because of her height. The woman is over 7 feet tall.

- Aimee is actually the sort of ringleader behind it all. People think it would be Maxwell because of how cunning and sly he is, he can easily recruit people and ghosts to join him, but even he bows to Aimee. She's not nearly as violent as the other spirits, but she uses kindness to win over everyone.

- She died from boiling water being poured on her. Unlike Maxwell, she was not killed by the shock. She suffered through the pain until the heat tore away her face down to the bone. This is why Maxwell gave her the flower mask. She's very insecure about it and hates the fact it scares people away.

- The man who killed her was an ancestor of Ghost, hence why they look alike (I know people already came to that conclusion, but-). Aimee didn't realize there were different people when she first saw Ghost. Thus, she reacted violently and tried to kill him for "What he did to her." She later realized her mistake and tried to apologize to Ghost- but he's understandably afraid of her.

[lunadreamscaper]

I think they should cuss. I think Spooker would swear in ice cream flavors, yes like that one tumblr post.

it'd be insane if the entire team did swear but explicitly in french. all of them. for no reason. (im not making this canon to shatterverse)

[feathered-moths-ablaze]

I've been hit with the Billion Year War.

I guess my canon for it? Idk I never watched the arc I don't know what sparked it but fuck it I made it some zombie-apocalypse-turned-Nuclear-Winter that no-one knows if it's considered "ended" because it fuckin snowy and time feels forever and that's why it's called 'Billion Year'. Anyways-

Early days/Midpoint (year 1-7): zombies are everywhere, gangs and groups are everywhere. It's every man for themselves

Both Achechalla family and P.I.E split about two months apart from each other. Ghost dies to a rouge gunshot early on, which eats away at Toast. He slowly becomes more and more aggressive to others, and even starts to lash out at the team near the end, until one night, he just slips away in the dark, leaving Colin, Spooker and Woah to fend for themselves.

With the Achechallas, no-one really knows why. They just split apart and now the kids are all going solo (except Sue: she's with Gertrude) and Papa has just vanished - he can't be contacted, no sight of him. It's assumed he's dead but you never know (his ass does not appear until a week after the end. Sorry old man but the void worms are hungry)

Everyone else that's alive (Toast's siblings, any of their friends ect.) Are either in different groups or alone

As the 'war' progresses, it starts to become a very cold winter, which kills off the apocalypse and alot of people (Jenny Toast, Colin, Sue and Gertrude are four of them. Rip) Soon it's realised that this ain't no normal winter, and it takes a year of snow for it to hit that yeah, they're stuck in a mini Ice age.

Late Game (year 8-13): there are a few zombie stragglers, but now it's mainly other people to be weary of.

At this point, Sally and Toast are going feral for different reasons, Billy is trying to fix this, Spencer is... Spencer, and Spooker is trying to keep Woah alive in the frozen wastelands.

Also Gavin might've ditch his group, found where Billy is and agreed to help him. He wants out of the cold. 4 months later they found a solution that takes ages to get to.

While that's going on, Spooker and Woah move around, looking for supplies and even meeting some familiar faces, but they both ended in disaster so They end up sheltering in the outskirts of the city for the rest of the winter.

I have a scenario where Gavin and a very Not-Mentally-Well Johnny fight in the middle of the street that gets interrupted just before Johnny has the chance to kill Gavin by Spooker. Johnny, Spooks and Woah all get stunned silenced and Gavin slips out while they have this tense reunion.

Anyways, Billy and Gavin manage to finally get the ice age to stop (but not before Gavin dies to his wounds) after 14 years

I don't know if I want people who died during the war to get revived because on one hand, Ghost and Toast reunion 2.0, but on the other, yum yum angst so I'll just leave it as "only some come back" i.e The Ones We Care About (random strangers are still dead)

Anyways - Apocalypse over! Woo!

Antagonists

P.I.E. - Peace Intergalactic Expansion. the micromanaging intergalactic republic government. they used to be better, but in the last couple of decades they were slowly taken over by their "all life and everything must be perfect and pristine" science division.

Black Holes - space pirates that are the extreme opposite of PIE. they claim to be the resistance and rebellion against PIE, but they're not much better in the long run, hurting whoever they need to without remorse to get what they want.

Plot

A bunch of criminals are hired for a job by PIE, the Peace Intergalactic Expansion of the galaxy. The job is top secret, and all they know is that PIE wants them to retrive some kind of weapon- but if they do follow through, their records will be clean and they'll get a thick paycheck. The rag tag team thrown together for this one job hate each other, but they figure a paycheck is a paycheck and decide to tolerate it for this one job.

But as they continue on their job, the crew starts to think something is off. The Black Holes offer them something huge to bring them the weapon instead, and no one even knows what this weapon actually is. Meanwhile PIE is breathing down their necks, reminding them constantly what will happen if they fail or try to betray the huge organization.

Then they find the weapon, and it seems that maybe no one should have the weapon. And that weapon isn't really a weapon at all.

Extra Stuff

Specifics on Corie's cyborg parts: her right eye, right arm from the elbow down, and her left leg from the knee down are prothstetics. She lost her leg to a job that went sideways, and her eye and arm to pirates attempting to exact their revenge on her.

^^^ The arm does have a laser gun attachment and her eye does have a little interface with aiming and targeting

NOVA's model was originally going to be a new line of military androids for PIE, but Nova- the first prototype of her line- failed all her diagnostic tests and they had her scrapped and abandoned the project

The ship they use and fly around in is an old military battle cruiser- called the Fifty-five Utility Battle Starcruiser, or the FU-BS. (I'm think i'm hilarious)

Hades's powers are mainly telekenisis, but he will straight up catch on fire or freeze everything within five feet of him if he's angry and throws a big enough tantrum

Astra and Nova have a rivals to lovers romance that's mainly in the background and for comedy purposes

Pandora and Aries have a kind of cute and fluffy friends-to-lovers romance happening in the background too

Dlakoonians and Alltinians are two alien specis in my worldbuilding that I'm currently working on developing

I took a ton of inspiration for this WIP from the Mandalorian and Guardians of the Galaxy. PIE is based on the Xandarians in GotG and The Black Holes are based on the Ravagers. The plot is inspired by the first two seasons of the Mandalorian (with my own fun additions and twists of course!)

Knox used to be named Lannie but that name was too close to a character from another WIP so I changed it

I was reading some of your older fics (around 2021) and the idea of Jimmy actually talking to his knife has given me a fic idea where he gets into an argument with it because he's currently giving someone else attention and it's 'jealous' about that

*cracks knuckles* It's been years since I wrote Jimmy at this point but here we go.

"Hahaha! Lookit him RUNNIN' AWAY!!!" Jimmy aims his automatic gun of some sort (he has no idea what kind- he just pulled out whatever Ghost happened to snag from the last decommissioned military base the P.I.E team went ghost hunting in) as Spooker flees, screaming.

"Awwww, his little legs a-goin'! CAN'T RUN AWAY FROM MY SECREEE- what?"

Spooker stops screaming long enough to look back and see Jimmy lower the gun and pull out a knife. A smart person, or person with any modicum of common sense, would take the distraction as an opportunity to escape.

Spooker freezes in place.

"What do you mean 'how could you'?! ... I know I can throw you! But he's TOO FAR AWAY!" the last three words all run together into one difficult-to-parse screech.

Jimmy gasps at the knife.

"CHEATING?!"

The knife glints, even though there's no light shining on it. Not here.

"I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL TO YOU! YOU SHOULD'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT!"

The knife shines with phantom blood- as in blood not actually there, not the blood of phantoms. It hasn't been used to kill a phantom in ages.

"I DON'T CARE THAT MY GRAMMER IS BAD!!!"

Spooker finally realizes he has a chance here, and slowly creeps away- until he steps on a stick. Crrrk!

"HEY! DON'TCHA KNOW IT'S RUDE TO INTERRUPT AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN FRIENDS?!" Jimmy throws Knifey as hard as he can- and misses. Knifey falls to the ground a full three feet short of Spooker.

"CRAP!"

Spooker absolutely books it, and Knifey teleports back to Jimmy's hands. He glares into the corroded, rust-covered, razor-sharp blade.

"I told you it was too far! NEVER GET JEALOUS OF RANDOM NO-ONE GUNS AGAIN!"
