I FORGOT WE STOLE(?) A BARREL CRAB

michael: i feel like we have to use the barrel crab now, because the announcer guy included it in the recap jorb: the announcer guy. michael: i don't know his name!

"i'm going to roll perception to see if some shit is up-- ahaahaa. aaahahaeehahaahaa . aaa"

michael to the rescue! with a better explanation of what he's trying to look for (if anythings been raided or messed up) and also a better roll in general

are the wyatts still arguing about horses? (no! somehow.)

nyx: are you trying to perceive jorb: are you trying to use your eyes, sir?

dwarven excavation has a big ol temple! which has dwarven statues out front that have "evil grins" or smth. so, uh, this is fine

michael: i dont think i trust those stone piles, they look like theyre drawn on an animation frame.

it has been 4 sessions and nyx's character still doesnt have a name btw

nyx: i am the most stealthy binturong that has ever existed, i am squeaking out loud, i am throwing rocks everywhere nyx being a Funny Little Animal is so good bc even tho his stealth check sucked, the dwarves he's stalking just ignored him bc it's a lil binturong vibing on some rocks

every day im shufflin'

(jorb shuffling tokens around trying to remember which npc is which)

nyx: [coughing] leo: ..is nyx dying? jorb: no - wait no i thought that was part of the ambience but yeah that's nyx dying

[tealseer]

y'all. tw cw for something I'm sure, but im starting to worry about tripper and i absolutely cannot deal.. he's behaving pretty normally and eating and using the box etc but.. his abdomen is really bloated.. im concerned it's his liver just like misty. i didnt notice her belly cos of her thicker fur and frame until she had lost a pound from not eating for a week and like, trippers still eating an he's sitting in my lap right now purring and im just trying to spend as much time with him as possible like I have the past two/three months since reality slapped me in the face. that would just be the icing on the shit cake huh same problems as before where it wouldn't be fair to him to put him through any tests or treatment at his age plus we've never had to take him to a vet before idk how he'd react.. and the whole goddamn world has bigger problems right now like now is not the time. i don't think i'm being paranoid either, the lethargy, the vomiting isn't as constant as it was with misty, yet , he even smells like she did at the end there and that's what's making me freak out rn i thought he might just have been depressed and missing her too but now I'm having all kinds of thoughts like ???what if the brand of food we fed them changed their formula or something and It's My Fault and all the awful thoughts it's too soon it's too soon it's too soon i dont want to post abt it bc i just went thru this i don't want to subject everyone else to it again but ive been preparing myself since january eleventh and every day since knowing its only a matter of time for him but i can't i cannot. he doesn't seem in any obvious pain so until he starts wheezing and rattling and drooling and hiding and not wanting to be touched the way misty did right at the end i'll just take it a day at a time

[thankyoumskobayashi]

the music video

more hybrid au me and dylan @tsurugiohtori​ have been discussing. this time it focuses on riku, aph, and mayu, who are basically siblings.

EDIT: i didnt mean for this to be so, well, ot3-y but there we go. (kei/belial/zero is the ot3)

one of mayu's friends sent her the video, wjere a human sang about his new kitten sparta who liked to bite. she forwarded it onto riku and aph, and they both met up after school exchanging Looks.

riku and aph had similar-colored ears. with the right contemplative positrontomography they could Make a cat hybrid parody work.

they divvied up the parts - riku and one of his friends would handle the filming, aph would handle the editing, and mayu would be the singer who would costar along with her sibs.

filming took place over a long time, with the hybrids requiring multiple takes. aph swore they could splice the takes together but riku insisted on making it seem a bit more natural... the time of day had to be evening.

when they got to the parts where riku and aph pretended to bite mayu onscreen, they ran into some trouble. first, aph didnt bite at all and it was visible. then they actually bit her and tried to use their purr to heal her and cover up the accident. they managed to heal her enough to get a scab formed and disinfect the wound, but filming was held off until she healed fully.

riku accidentally bit her other hand when he tried to act it out too. this time she went to kei (this was filmed at rayblood's house) and asked him to heal her.

"are the kittens treating you okay?" he asked gently, crouching down in concern. "you're not roughousing too much?"

"yeah, they're nice to me," mayu explained blithely.

"i'll talk to them later about this behavior. they shouldn't be doing this." kei let out a sigh, hugging mayu to his chest. a rumbling purr blossomed in his throat and the wounds disappeared.

mayu looked up at him. "you can't. we're working on a project together."

"oh?" kei smiled down at her in curiosity, a smile twitching onto his face. his ears pricked forward, his tail half-raised in curiosity. "what's it about?"

mayu pressed a finger to her lips, shaking her head. "you'll see when it's done."

kei's tail drooped; he knew he was being overdramatic but he couldn't help himself. "do you pinky swear?"

"pinky swear," mayu said, sticking out her pinky and hooking it around his pinky. they Shook on it and then she returned to the world of home music videos.

throughout that time, kei covered for the trio wjenever they stayed late working on the project. he smiled and snuggled against belial whenever he asked what the kids were doing. he told zero rumina and leito "it's a surprise." he made sure to heal mayu before she went home, without question. kei also asked his mate to fetch things whenever he was abt to walk in on the filming.

finally, the filming was done. after that, their time was spent more equally between leito's and rayblood's houses, but they still huddled around aph at the computer whenever they had the chance.

zero, belial, leito, and rumina asked at various points what they were doing, to be met with giggles and "it's a surprise!"

kei watched all of this with the proudest grin. if he had whiskers they would be pointing forwards and all spread out.

finally, aph announced they were done with the video and the others gathered around to rewatch it. kei smiled and picked up a laser, about to distract his mates with the instinct to chase in the meantime.

"keiiiiiiiiiiiiii." zero whined, his tail twitching as he narrowed his eyes at the green dot. "that's not FAIIIIRRR."

"last one to catch it has to do the dishes," belial asserted, standing up at his full magnificent height. his fluffy cinnamon-streaked tail twitches with excitement. it's all kei could do not to join in the chase, wiggling the green dot so the others sprang for it.

zero pounced instantly, knocking magazines off rayblood's coffee table. the old man gave a hearty laugh from the other room. zero was knocked out of the way by belial, who smirked but licked his ears in apology

"competing with you~ always gets my blood racing," zero flirted, grabbing for belial"s most ticklish spot - the back of his neck. "with you i can always count on a challenge."

kei moved the laser up to the ceiling and zero sprang upwards, leaving a giggling belial behind. he hit the ceiling with a THUMP showing just how powerful his jumps are-

....and landed on one knee, shaking his head.

"fuck, ze, are you alright?" kei dropped off the laser and rushed over to him. belial, his tail twitching in annoyance at being tickled, got up and saw zero. he leaped the coffee table and crouched by zero's other side.

"i'm fine, just a little bump, that's all," zero insisted, standing up. "i've survived worse."

"let us help you. we're a team, remember that?" kei asked, putting an arm around zero as he stood up. belial mirrored him, nuzzling zero and grooming his ears.

"yeah, i remember," zero smiled. "we're the ultimate force zero. theres nothing in the universe that can stop us."

"but what if there was?" belial asked, picking up zero with ease and lifting kei in his other arm.

"there isn't, you'd protect us," kei murmured, snuggling against belial and beginning to purr in spite of himself.

"frankly it'd be 20,000 years too early for them to even try," zero pointed out, sprawling princelike across belial's arm.

belial sat down on the couch and gently lowered his mates beside him. zero immediately sprawled across his and kei's laps. kei started scratching behind his ear absentmindedly. "are we sure he needs this?" he asked belial. "he seems his usual royal self."

"WHAT? of course i do. i am royalty," zero insisted.

"hmmm, i dont know. maybe we were just too worried about him," belial replied, trying not to smile.

"guys, you know i love both of your purrs," zero said, glancing between them pleadingly. he took kei's hand in his and gazed imploringly at him. "pretty please heal me with your magic purr."

kei glanced at belial, eyebrows raised. "do you think we should?"

"why not. he asked nicely enough," belial ssid, putting an arm around kei and pulling him in close. he rubbed his cheek against kei, marking him with his scent.

"alright, loves, let's do this." kei smiled, wrapping his tail over zero protectively and beginning to purr. belial put his arm across zero and began to purr as well. they watched as zero sat up to snuggle between them.

there was a bang as the door was thrown open.

"DADS GUESS WHAT WE-" "oh" "......were doing."

mayu, riku, and aph stopped short at the sight of three of their dads cuddling.

"were we interrupting?" aph asked.

"no, of course not," kei answered.

"what have you three finished? that project that you three-" zero Stopped at a Look from kei.

"you pinky promised to show me when it's done, but can everyone else see too?" kei asked mayu.

"sure," aph ssid. "we just need to find a projector and screen big enough."

"leave it to rayblood over there," belial said.

"can we have the fake wine too?" riku asked eagerly. "it's a Premiere, we have to go all out."

kei caught zero's eye and lifted his eyebrow. he has your flair for the dramatic.

i Know. zero reached up and tucked kei's hand back behind his ears and tilted his head imploringly.

kei scratched behind zero's ear again, nodding thoughtfully at the trio. vibrations under his hand showed zero was having a Good Time

"we'll have to invite over everyone," rayblood ssid, peeking into the room. "leito and rumina. uncle mirai and uncle ray and uncle dyna too."

"thanks grandpa rayblood!" mayu cheered.

"dont mention it. just give me a time frame for this premiere. do you want it in a week? a day?"

"hmmmmm." aph flicked one ear to the side, deep in thought. "we should give him some time. how about four days."

"what?" mayu was aghast.

"tjats too long!" riku protested.

"it builds up the dramatic suspense," aph explained. "plus, we can upload the video whenever."

"...we'll have time to write speeches," mayu said.

"sounds good let's do it," riku said, his dramatic flair appeased.
