Liam and Jack are trying to make the Poochyena Laugh with puppets and silly faces.

Suddenly, a non-Inktober piece! Nothing like grabbing a quick cup of coffee to refresh yourself after a long day exploring dungeons. Featuring a Tamroast from Lockstin & Gnoggin's Kaskade Region series!

[nells-universe]

i’m at my dads house for the week and he just walked up to me asking “do you want to see a picture of fwoofy (his mightyena) as a baby”

i say yes of course and he pulls up a picture of the most pathetic looking poochyena. oh my arc. this guy is a battler now. how did he ever look like this???????

// og pic also fun fact: i texted my dad to ask what he would name this and he told me fwoofy. there you have it

[puppetmaster13u]

So this Au still needs a name, BUT

I have figured out what Most of the pokemon evolved from! It only took uh, lemme look at a clock, a week or three!

For those not interested in clicking a link, it's a pokemon/dc crossover but pokemon is straight up just a Gotham thing. Like, the flora and fauna and everything else have become corrupted/ mutated/ adapted, etc into strange creatures with stranger abilities thanks to the chemicals, magic, death pits, curses, and everything else all mixing together.

So anyway, have a list of what each pokemon originally were before Gotham got a hold of them. Some things brought into Gotham (such as via zoos, museums, or rogues or whatever) and others always there. Do keep in mind I am (mostly) not including Legendaries because I'm still not sure if I want those in the Au yet lol.

FURTHER MINI RAMBLES

⏵Most non-sapient plant variation has happened in things such as berries & fruits 

⏵It’s noted that many of the creatures show signs of convergent evolution to other animals & plants, especially in further mutations

⏵Several animals & other things not native to Gotham or New Jersey were brought in as experiments or for the Gotham Zoo which were affected over time

Like IRL Animals & Plants, They Can Have Mutations & Color Variations:

Normal color/Pattern [Very Common]

“Shinies” [Uncommon color variant] 

Piebaldism/Vitiligo [Patches of no melanism] 

Albinism [No melanism] 

Leucism [No melanism save for eyes] 

Melanism [Excess black] 

Erythrism [Excess red] 

Axanthism [No yellow & more blue] 

Xanthochromism [Excess yellow] 

Chimerism [2 offspring fused] 

Gynandromorphism [Split & both male/female]

You scoffed to yourself. Of course you're beginning this journey, why else would you even be playing this game in the first place? You then chose the options that best reflected what you thought at the moment.

He dosen't seem to take note of RIKO's comments, seemingly just zoning out.

RIKO then moved herself in front of the wall he was facing, introducing herself to him.

However, just as he began introducing himself, the audio began glitching and corrupting along with the screen.

You rubbed your eyes to see if your eyes were playing tricks on you. Everything then resumed to normal, as if the glitching was just a figment of your imagination.

He then left without a word, yet again ignoring RIKO's presence, leaving you and her there confused.

Huh, even RIKO agrees with you.

For some reason, his name felt familiar, but yet again, you ignored it. Must have been a coincidence.

You then made your way into the grass, chose Torchic which you named Shizoki and used to save Professor Birch.

He then gifted RIKO some essential items, then asked you to go to route 103 to catch more pokemon. Surprisingly, he made no mention of Brenden.

He did say he was our neighbour, right? That means Brenden is technically his son, given that they live in the same house, but he hasn’t spoken a single word about him. Weird.

You made your way to Route 103 as instructed, capturing a Poochyena which you named Shoko, and levelling up the team to level 7 on the way.

There again, you met Brenden, who was doing his weird staring into nothingness thing again. The moment RIKO interacted with him, a battle immediately initiated, with no starting dialogue.

RIKO used Shizoki, her current strongest pokemon up against his Treeko, which I luckily had a great type advantage over. 2 Embers and his pokemon already went down, quickly ending the battle. He didn’t say anything about his defeat, but began giving his weird messages for Riko again.

Again, Brenden wordlessly departed, running into what I assumed was the next area. RIKO tried chasing after him, even trying to call out his name, but there was no trace of him the moment she entered the next area. I could only stare at the screen, confused, just like her.

What even is Brenden supposed to be?

[Theories and speculations are welcome in the comments ;))]

[findingyourrootscomic]

Hi! Been reading for a while and I decided to ask, are you including certain animal behaviours with specific pokemon? Like based on what Flygon said and how fae are in this universe, is fae characteristics more like reptiles? Does this apply to other pokemon that can be attributed to animals in our earth? Sorry if this has been explained before!

Uhhhhhhh! Good question. I do like to incorporate animal traits into pokemon, cause they read to me as magical superpowered animals even in PMD settings where they like build houses and stuff. Like yeah, that fae lore was originally pulled from irl reptiles, though for this comic I actually stole that bit of worldbuilding from another story about dragons I wrote a few years ago. Poochyenas wag their tails, mudkips love to swim, taillows live in big flocks, etc. The whole thing about tribes in FYRverse is basically inspired by animal herds.

FYR worldbuilding is like a weird amalgamation of animal characteristics, PMD worldbuilding, and inspiration from irl and human society. On top of it all, I'm not actually that good of a worldbuilder anymore, so shit kinda gets confusing lol.

[goldenrodchef]

Been getting a lot of questions about how my family takes care of so many eebies, so I've decided to explain that a bit!

First of all, a list of eebies currently living at my house:

Me (Wobble)

Lily (Buizel) @whimsical-westbrook

Mika (Furret) @fated-furret

Shard (Alolan Ninetales) @johto-blizzard

Dai (Poochyena) @that-dog-in-him

Abigail (Mienfoo) @skating-mienfoo-fiend

Lane, Elisa, Dominic (Mew, Celebi, Manaphy) @kitten-of-change

Vivi (Delcatty) @skittyanon

Fares (Flaafy (still sleebying)) @fluffares

Cobalt (Giratina) @refri-gira-tor

There's also Niko, who's not an eeby, but a regular Sentret. He lives here too, with Mika.

That makes 12 eebies living at my house, and 16 people here in total if you include mom and dad, Nisa, and Niko.

So how do we all get the food, water, room, and support we need?

Well, most of us are pretty small. Biggest ones of us are mom, dad, Nisa, Shard, Fares, and Cobalt. The rest of us are tiny! So most of us don't need too much food or water.

My house is also pretty big, with enough rooms for us all. My parents got it for really cheap because it was supposedly haunted, so we still have enough money to pay for everyone here's needs and wants.

I'm also an aspiring chef, and our kitchen is pretty big, so I can make food for us all!

Mom and dad also make sure to spend at least some time with us all each day. Well, unless we request time alone. Mom's hugs are the best.

Besides that, I also do my best to help when anyone is feeling down, giving hugs and words of support.

It's a bit chaotic, sure, but I wouldn't give up the people here for the world.

(And yes, I said people. For all the fur and tails and scales we all have, we're all still people.)

[falling-star-cygnus]

@gonestarroaming thank you :D {sorry it’s took so long, got a wee bit stumped. hopefully the length makes up for it?}

giving the Trigun Polycule Pokemon bc yes {I have something similar to this already but that’s more tristamp oriented}

🍩Vash🍩

1. Clefable 2. Armarouge 3. Zekrom

- Zekrom doesn’t so much belong to Vash, rather they are one in the same - The Ideals Pokemon is embodied within Vash’s immortal make, the two intertwined down to the core {they miss being complete, miss Knives and Tesla} - Vash found Clefable as a Cleffa, battered and spat at in a world as cruel as Gunsmoke - He tried to get it somewhere safer, somewhere with healed souls not prone to violence, but she was as attached to him as he was to her - They never parted ways and Cleffa grew into Clefable, keeping Vash together with a determination that rivalled Vash’s pacifism - Armarouge was Rai-Dei’s as a Charcadet, but it didn’t evolve into a Ceruledge like he wanted - It was cast aside immediately and left to fend for itself until it found Vash - “How can anybody look at Pokemon like you and turn you away? You’ve got some of the kindest eyes I’ve ever seen”

🕶️Wolfwood🕶️

1. Gengar 2. Mightyena 3. Phantump

- He’s had Mightyena since it was a Poochyena - It was stand-offish and hurt, digging around behind his house when Wolfwood was only a boy - He gave it some food and hid it from his father, the two glued at the hip for long after the Eye of Michael took him - Gengar and him instantly bonded when Wolfie was out looking for Vash for the first time - He sat next to the pokemon, breathing out around a cigarette and said, “so people think you’re bad luck, huh?” a pause, stunned silence, and then “yeah, i get that” and the two continued on - Phantump followed him for days, so in awe that the man -despite shooing him away multiple times- was so gentle doing so - It begged to join Wolfwood’s team, begged and cried and clung - The man didn’t think he deserved something so precious - “I’m a terrible man, awful really. you should find someone else” It wouldn’t. “…Suit yourself”

📸Meryl📸

1. Cincinno

- Meryl was given an egg from her parents as a child - The Minccino inside was small, like Meryl, and feisty. It bit at her fingers and spat like a Purrloin - Meryl didn’t give up, determined to prove to her parents she could raise her own Pokemon - She didn’t want to be handed a partner, if she was going to get anything in life it’d be by her own two hands and hard work - She defended the Pokemon until bullies and wild Pokemon mottled her skin more blue and purple than fair - Minccino didn’t see how it deserved that level of devotion and care, didn’t understand why Meryl would go that far - “We’re going to see the world together,” Meryl declared, bruised and scuffed, “We’re going to be amazing and we’ll do it together. I don’t want anyone else by my side!” - And Minccino knew right then and there that Meryl was its forever trainer

✨Milly✨

1. Conkelldur 2. Maushold

- Milly found Maushold as a Tandemous, her first ever encounter with a wild Pokémon - She only found one tho, of the pair, and Tandemous was so heartbrokenly devastated that Milly spent all night tracking down its missing half - “You have a family too, Mr. Tandemous?” she had asked, “There’s no greater thing, I think. I won’t rest until you’re back with yours!” - Milly and Tandemous never parted after that - Timburr was a lonely, lonely Pokemon - It lashed out, angry at the world for abandoning it and even angrier at itself for being so hurt over it - Milly is first and foremost a gentle soul and she knows loneliness when she sees it - Meryl doesn’t stop her, schedule be damned, from pursuing the new companion; she’s no hypocrite - Milly pours all her love into a hug for Timburr, every ounce of understanding she possesses goes out to it - No words are needed, the Insurance Girls carry on with a new companion at their side

story under the cut :D

Wolfwood isn’t made to be gentle. His sandpaper hands mark everything he touches with proof of his wake, his breath of nicotine and smoke choke out any beauty that could ring and grow. Nicholas D. Wolfwood is a soldier, an assassin for hire.

He’s not made for gentle love.

Not when he’s brushing through the thick fur of Mightyena to help her sleep, not when Gengar needs a little more reassurance that he’s not to blame for a bout of bad luck, and not when Phantump sleeps on his lap after a bad dream.

His hands are stained red. And they’re immune to being bleached by the kindness he’s been offered by his target, who stands tall in an equally as red coat.

They leave stains on the gentle people he’s been given. The girl with fire in her veins who rightfully distrusted him but still didn’t shy away, the girl with infinite love in her soul who- despite everything he’s confessed to- cups his face with her calloused hands when he comes home late, and the being with eyes as kind and timeless as a god Wolfwood wasn’t sure he actually believed in.

Love is when Vash’s Clefable clings to Gengar and Gengar to Clefable with all the love of two long separated souls reuniting.

Love is when Meryl’s Cinccino dusts off his suits and cuddles against him even when he’s filthy from his day.

Love is when Milly’s Maushold tucks themself into his pockets when he needs a little company.

And love is when his own Pokémon, hurt by the world and scorned, give themselves to the soft people he’s found.

Wolfwood’s not made to be gentle.

But- he thinks, looking at his new family- maybe he could learn to be

I'm thinking about adopting a Poochyena, do you have any tips on how to take care of one?

aww, poochyena! one of my favorites, if you couldn't tell ;]

poochyena are feisty little pokemon and tend to be more active at night! the biggest thing to prep for is, of course, their tremendous bite. be prepared to do a LOT of training on what's appropriate to chew vs. what isn't. speaking of, you need to poké-proof VERY well with these guys. they'll eat just about anything they can get their mouth on, from garbage to power cables to cleaning supplies.

if you have small children or little pokemon in your house, i wouldn't recommend getting a poochyena. aside from their bite, which could easily hurt or even kill something little, they have an extremely active prey drive. poochyena that get away from their trainers while chasing prey have been found several miles away.

in terms of care, they need plenty of durable chew toys and walk time, but they also enjoy scent-based enrichment! they hunt, but they also scavenge, and making them smell out their food is a great way to give them something to do. they do well on a commercial canine pokemon food. they're also a highly social pokemon that likes playtime with other pokemon, but i would only let them socialize with other canine pokemon that are equal in size to them or larger- otherwise they could do some serious damage in play.

one last caveat- be prepared for your house to smell if you get one. they're quite musky lol

The poochyena line

General notes: A decent pokemon with not-so-decent PR, the poochyena is a very good choice for experienced trainers wanting to start out training dark types but who don't have access to the rarer kinds like absol. Despite the bad press that came with them being prominently used by members of team aqua and team magma, they're worth the time for those willing to put the work in.

General care: A tough, sturdy pokemon, poochyena and mightyena thrive in many environments, requiring few if any accommodations. They're omnivorous by nature and can eat just about anything, but a word of caution.

Though wild poochyena/mightyena are known for being accomplished scavengers, they can do this because they've grown up wild and are used to supplementing their diet with carrion. As a result, they have a gut biome primed to tolerate rancid meat, something Mr Giggles the house poochyena lacks. Attempting to cut costs by feeding your poochyena carrion will only result in a very sick pokemon. If you've captured a wild poochyena, this is a habit you may have to break unless you intend to release it later.

These pokemon have powerful jaws, and like to chew on things. They'll need heavy duty toys that can tolerate a LOT of punishment.

This line is notorious for shedding, so keep a roller brush handy. Care rating: Green

Training: This line can be stubborn, particularly the poochyena. You can expect it to try and stand it's ground against training, bristling its fur and snarling. It's a tenacious pokemon, and training it can be quite frustrating. Their group structure in nature is quite dominance based, and you'll need to make sure it accepts you outrank it. This is not a pokemon recommended for inexperienced or timid trainers. You'll need to be firm and consistant.

Many people give up on training poochyena, which is unfortunate, because once you've proven yourself as its leader, the mightyena is well worth the trouble. Loyal, strong and very affectionate to those it likes, they'll tirelessly obey orders, both on the battle grounds and off them. Training rating: Orange

Safety: Particularly at the start of their training, they have a reputation as being quite nippy, and a poochyena's bite is no joke. Though a well trained poochyena will happily play fetch with a child, it's recommended this play time is supervised. Mightyena are less playful, but a trusted and loyal one will quite literally give its life to defend its trainers child. Safety rating: Orange

Overall ranking. Though difficult and stubborn, with time and patience they become loyal, loving companions for whatever life throws at you.

saffron: i knew i was forgetting something. shadow - i apologise for the lack of guessing at your identity lately, i know you enjoyed that. it's a long story, but the logical guesses are all gone as far as i can tell, the silly guesses are fuchsia's job, and we can't work together for the perfect balance right now.

if you want to know what's going on - silver and lynda know, if they won't mind explaining; i would, but we need to sleep.

and maxie - we think the egg is almost hatched, though there is a slight wrench - how do you think they'll react to four people merging into one person if they're already attached to one of said people? ideally they'll attach to den for the least changes... again, long story and i apologise for this out of nowhere. in a worst-case our long-term housemate simon can look after them until we're, ah, back to normal. if he becomes the pack leader then that can be worked with, since it's unlikely he'll leave any time soon...

Shadow: Lynda has already informed me as best she can, we have quite close correspondence, as I do the things he can't do in her position without heavy amounts of paper work and stalling. So there is no need to worry. I will alert Maxie quickly to take the phone so he can respond.

Maxie: I think it would be best to avoid letting the pup see anything odd or possibly attach to one of the others if you can. Otherwise you might have an issue of the little Poochyena bonding to one of the others and have them confused looking for them. So having your long term house mate look after the egg would be the best plan I would say.

i caught the first few shadow pokemon (other than the mandatory teddiursa, also ledyba and poochyena) and got to agate village and now i’m taking a break because i am sleepy and have a headache 😭

it’s refreshing exploring gateon port again though, the area isn’t huge but it feels satisfying to explore with the rotating bridges in the middle and the place has an actual culture to it that isn’t JUST everyone around here is tough and wants to fight you!! i love colo but other than agate village that entire game has a very same-y feel throughout of these grungy rough towns and it’s nice to go to a seaside port to spice things up a little bit. i also like how the pokemon center looks a lot, and how it also seemingly serves as a mini public library here??

no pictures of any of this bc i was tired and i have to stand up every time to take pictures of my TV unless i want them to come out terrible and blurry, but i love the ex-sailor NPC in one of the houses who quit being a sailor to raise an oddish and is just obsessed w his oddish. he has a book in his room about land-dwelling pokemon in direct contrast to the book about ocean-dwelling pokemon in the aforementioned pokemon center 😭 (which makes sense because of it being a seaside port town)

[that-dog-in-him]

...How did a Poochyena get in my house? Past all the security?

Wait, this is- That's not possible...

A Dark Path Walked Chapter 4: The Festival of Masks

Juliana and Kieran arrived at the latter’s home, where his grandparents were waiting.

“Grandpa! Grandma!” Kieran called out. “I’m home!”

“Welcome home, Kieran.” Kieran’s grandfather smiled. “And I see you brought along a friend. Who is this girl?”

“F-Friend…” Kieran said shily. “That’s one way to put our fellow student. Oh, this Juliana. She is a student from Paldea.”

“Hello, sir. Ma’am.” Juliana bowed. “Nice to meet you.”

“What a kind young girl.” Kieran’s grandmother smiled. “My name is Hideko and this is my husband Yukito.”

“Did you both need something?” Yukito asked.

“Well…” Kieran tapped his two index fingers together. “Tonight is the first day of this year’s Festival of Mask and I was asking if you have something to help Juliana get ready.”

“Why, of course!” Hideko nodded. “We have a spare jinbei just in case someone wants to participate in the festivities. Come with me, sweetheart.”

A few minutes later, Hideko helped Juliana dress up in a green Kitakami-styled Jinbei and did a little ponytail for her. Kieran had also changed to his white jinbei.

“There you go.” Hideko said. “Now you are ready to participate in the Festival of Masks.”

“Oh, grandpa!” Carmine got outside her house, wearing her blue jinbei. “Have you seen our masks, we need them for the-” She then notices Juliana next to her brother. “Hey! Why is she here?!”

“Relax, Sis.” Kieran said. “I invited her to join us at the Festival and she agreed.”

“You? Inviting someone?” Carmine tried not to laugh. “Now that is something new that I’ve heard today.”

“Why are you so mean to Juliana, Sis?” Kieran glared at his sister. “She has been nothing but kind to us.”

“Enough, you two.” Yukito looked at his grandchildren. “You are embarrassing us in front of our guest.”

“S-sorry, Gramps…” Kieran said while Carmine huffed.

“Now to answer your question, Carmine.” Yukito faced his granddaughter. “The masks are at the mask shed. You may also find a mask for Juliana too.”

“The Mask Shed, hugh…” Carmine mused. “Well… first come, first served, is what they say!” Carmine ran off to the mask shed.

“Sis! Hold on!” Kieran chased after his sister.

“I am so sorry about Carmine and Kieran.” Yukito sighed as he faced Juliana. “They can be… at each other’s throat sometimes. Especially Carmine due to-”

“It’s ok.” Juliana smiled. “Kieran’s a sweet kid, I’m happy you raised him”

“You’re way too sweet.” Hideko smiled back. “I am glad you became friends with Kieran. Maybe you should go grab a mask at the Mask Shed. Kieran and Carmine are already there.”

Juliana went to the shed, where Carmine made a mess while looking for a mask for Juliana. Carmine was wearing a Munkidori mask while Kieran was wearing an ogre mask.

“Where is it?!” Carmine hissed.

“Um… sis?” Kieran tugged his sister’s junbei shirt.

“Oh. You’re here.” Carmine saw Juliana. “Were you here to find a mask? Unfortunately for you, the masks Kiki and I have are the only ones in there.”

“Sorry, Juliana…” Kieran sighed. “You can have my mask if you want. I’ll buy another one for myself.”

“Kiki, are you nuts?!” Carmine hissed. “That’s your beloved Ogre Mask! You can’t give it away!” She took a deep breath. “Very well… if you want a mask, you better battle me!”

“Sis! That’s not necessary!” Kieran growled at his sister. “And you don’t need to battle Juliana everytime for no reason!”

“It’s okay, you two…” Juliana tried to calm the siblings down. “I don’t need a mask. I’ll be ok.”

“Battle me regardless.” Carmine said.

“I’m so sorry, Juliana…” Kieran sighed. “Sis loves to battle…”

“It’s ok.” Juliana said. “During our trips, I did some training with the Kitakami Pokémon I caught.”

Juliana saw that Carmine had not only evolved her Poochyena to a Mightyena and her Poltchageist into an Unremarkable Sinistcha, but also caught a Morpeko and Swadloon. However, even though she defeated Carmine again, there was no mask to give Juliana, something she didn’t mind.

After that totally unnecessary battle, Carmine, Kieran and Juliana went to Kitakami Hall, where the Festival of Masks takes place.

“Behold! The Festival of Masks!” Carmine showed Juliana around. “This festival is to celebrate the honor of the Loyal Three who took down the ogre.”

“We do Festivals of Masks every year.” Kieran said. “It… helps tourists enjoy Kitakami.”

“I know one way to help make memories.” Carmine had an idea. “Hey, may I borrow your Roto-Stick?”

“Sure.” Juliana gave Carmine her Roto-Stick.

Carmine took a selfie of her, Juliana and Kieran together at the Festival of Masks with Juliana’s Roto-Stick, Kieran bought some candy apples for him and Juliana and Juliana explored the Festival of Masks until something caught her eyes. It was a traditional Kitakami Game called Ogre Oustin’.

“So you’re interested in Ogre Oustin’?” Carmine said. “Do you think you can beat my record of 6,390 points?”

“Sis, stop challenging people!” Kieran hissed. “It’s getting old!”

“It’s ok, Kieran.” Juliana said. “I can do one game of Ogre Oustin’. It looks like fun.”

“You can do it, Juliana!” Kieran cheered for the Paldean Girl.

“This is going to be interesting.” Carmine thought to herself. “There is no way that this outsider can beat my record? I got it at last year’s Festival of Masks.”

Juliana struggled at first since Koraidon was hungry, but she made a score of 6,510 points, beating Carmine’s record by 110 points. Carmine was upset and challenged Kieran to beat her, however, when he refused, the siblings started another argument. Juliana saw a strange kid walking around and slowly went to it.

“Hello, little one.” She spoke to it nicely. “I love your mask. Are you enjoying the Festival?”

After a few minutes of silence, the kid ran off to the stairs of Oni Mountain. Juliana chased after it.

“Hold on! I don’t want to hurt you!” Juliana tried to call out.

The kid finished climbing up the stairs, but it dropped its mask, revealing that it was not a kid, but a Pokémon. Juliana grabbed the mask and tried to give it back.

“You dropped your mask.” Juliana said.

The kid instead ran off back to Oni Mountain. Juliana looked back at the mask.

“This kid… it wasn’t a kid…” She said to herself. “But… it was the ogre?! I need to tell you someone… someone I trust.”

She looked around for someone to tell about what happened. She saw Kieran mumbling to himself in anger.

“Umbelievable…” He muttered. “Sis is so annoying…”

“Um… Kieran?” Juliana went to him. “Are you ok?”

“Oh, hi, Juliana…” Kieran sighed. “I’m sorry you had to witness Sis’s… pride.”

“It’s ok.” Juliana smiled. “Can we talk somewhere private?”

“Um… sure?” Kieran was confused.

The two of them headed off to the stairs that lead to Oni Mountain.

“What do you want to say?” Kieran asked.

“I’m sorry if this upsets you…” Juliana said. “But… I saw the ogre… It had run off and along the way, it dropped this…” She shows the mask the Ogre was wearing. “I tried to give it back, but I must have unintentionally scared it… do you… want to come with me to try to give the mask back?”

Instead of anger, Juliana saw joy in Kieran’s eyes. She had asked him to go with her to give the mask back to the ogre… he felt like he was dreaming.

“Of course!” Kieran almost screamed as he grabbed her hand. “Come on! Let’s go!”

The two of them then ran off to the Dreaded Den. Kieran had gotten a lot of stamina since he had gone there plenty of time, Juliana, on the other hand, was trying to regain her energy since running around on sandals can be a bit painful on your feet.

They looked around for the ogre.

“Hello?” Kieran called out. “Little Ogre?”

“It’s me…” Juliana also called out. “The girl from the festival… I want to give your mask back to you…”

Nothing happened. Kieran sighed, defeated.

“Aw man…” He whimpered. “I was hoping we could actually do it… Perhaps we should ask Gramps to see if-”

“HOW DARE YOU!!!!” Carmine’s voice rang out as she stomped to Kieran and Juliana in anger. “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, YOUNG MAN?! RUNNING OUTSIDE OF KITAKAMI HALL IN YOUR JINBEI?! ONCE I TELL GRANDPA, YOU ARE GOING TO BE SO GROUNDED!!!” She then turned to Juliana. “AS FOR YOU, MISSY!!! DON’T THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH SNEAKING OUT WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER!! SUCH RECKLESS BEHAVIOR FOR AN OUTSIDER!!!!”

“S-Sis! H-Hold on!” Kieran tried to calm down his sister, who is as enraged as a Primape overusing Rage Fist just to evolve. “I-I should be the one held responsi-”

“DO NOT TALK BACK AT A TIME LIKE THIS!!!” Carmine almost shouted as she harshly grabbed their wrists. “COME ON!! WE ARE GOING BACK TO THE FESTIVAL!! AND YOU ARE NOT GONNA LEAVE THE AREA UNLESS ONE OF YOU IS SLEEPY!!”

“Ow… that’s too tight, Sis…” Kieran sounded like he was about to cry.

The three of them returned to Kitakami Hall, with no one aware of what happened since they were enjoying the Festival of Masks. Carmine ran off to grab some ramen from the stalls so she could calm down.

“I am so so so so so sorry about what happened…” Kieran bowed nonstop. “Sis isn’t usually like this…”

“It’s ok…” Juliana was still smiling despite the fact that she was scolded. “This is the first time I got scolded for something.” She let out a yawn. “All this fun and adventure made me sleepy…”

“Do you want me to take you back to the community center?” Kieran asked.

“Of course.” Juliana said.

They took a slow walk to avoid Carmine’s glare.

“About the mask…” Kieran said. “We should take it to Gramps, just in case… He may know of its origins.”

“Alright.” Juliana said. “I’ll be at your house tomorrow morning.”

“Thanks, Juliana.” Kieran smiled.

The two returned to Mossui Town and Kieran dropped Juliana off to the Community Center. Just as Kieran was about to say good night, Juliana hugged him. He was surprised at first, but he later hugged back. It was the first time in a while since someone besides his family hugged him. As much as he wanted to stay in Juliana’s embrace, he still had to make sure she got to bed. She smiled as she went inside the Community Center, where Briar greeted them with a smile.

Kieran yawned as well and went back home, so he could get a good night sleep.
