It was a true testament to the toddler slowly coming out of her shell. The toy in her mouth squeaked as she looked up.

A moment passed, and she dropped it onto the ground.

"Play?"

[familylightfox]

The sight that had greeted them at the window was something that the former soldier had to admit he never would have thought would happen. Gibbous was a very cautious child, despite her curiosity. And yet she had become the best of friends to Lyra in the time they’d known one another.

Sure there was still an occasional language barrier, but she was getting better everyday. New words were being added to her vocabulary every few days.

A snort was followed by mismatched eyes meeting emerald. “So what you’re saying is never.”

Now that they’d been spotted, there was no reason to stay outside. Having two sets of eyes on them, and the excited happy taps of one of them was enough to get the former soldier moving. Yet he let out a snort at Arrow’s comment. “I don’t see your wife in the windows. Are we sure they didn’t tie her up and took over the house already?”

Light didn’t wait for a response and started to make his way to the house. They had toddlers to entertain.

~*END*~

{➹} – MAYBE NOT THE ANSWER Arrow expected but it made him smile nonetheless. He would take optimism any day of the week, and he chose to think his assumption was right. That something had been set in motion, and for the better. Only time would really tell, and while it may not have been a thing that Light's Zone had in spades, it had still been worth a try.

"Nothing wrong with looking on the bright side every now an' again," he replied, a light in his eyes before he let out a soft laugh. Namely at the sight that greeted the two of them as he turned to look towards the house. Gibbous wasn’t alone there in the window, though that was hardly surprising. His daughter and Light's were about as thick as thieves as the saying got, so the two pairs of wide, happy eyes were expected.

And yet still made the hedgehog insurmountably happy to see.

"Only for as long as they get a kick out of it," he retorted playfully, knowing full well it would be quite some time before that wasn't the case, but he was perfectly okay with that. He planned to cherish his daughter's younger days for as long as he could, and every day therein after. And knowing he may have given Light the first steps to do the same in due time made the hero happy.

He just wanted what was best for his friends and their world, and Arrow would help where he was needed. Even if it was just giving Light and Gibbous a place to escape the stress of their own world until it sorted itself out.

"Let's head inside before they overpower Mina and cause a riot, yeah?"

@lilbluespeedster liked for a starter

It wasn't out of the ordinary for the pair to be out in another world for a breath of fresh air. There were only so many times they could visit friends before it began to feel like they were overstaying their welcome. At least that was what Light thought.

So that was why they were there. A Zone they weren't exactly familiar with but had been amicable enough to Light with his cybernetics to not have to avoid populated sections of the town they were in.

He still did to a point, for the toddler by his side's sake. Since there were some that ignored her vest to attempt to pet her and forced him to scoop her up from beside his leg.

"Dah?" Jade eyes blinked, curious as he pointed to what looked like a semi more secluded spot. As they walked over, Gibbous wiggled to be put back on her feet but he held firm when a feeling of not being alone raised both their hackles.

"Why don't you drop that pretty bag on your back and we'll let you and your poodle go?" Light glanced over his shoulder, cybernetic eye glinting in the sunlight above. When he didn't move, those who had closed off the only exit took a few more steps forward.

It didn't take him long to spot the glint of a knife and send a glare to the one wielding it.

[fallen-symphony]

Who do you guys like the most on your team? Who do you hate the most on the enemy team?

"An interesting question... Although I'm not one for relationships since I'm a superior being... I must admit that Obake's intellect and Motivations truly seem to resonate with me. He's like a more intelligent Dr. Regal.

"As for who I hate on the enemy team... Probably my stupid brothers... Especially RiFT. So much power, yet he uses it to serve lower beings. What an insult..."

"Glad to know we can get along, Slur. I have always found you fascinating... But as a brilliant mind who loves potential, Eggman Nega is a man after my own heart."

"The feeling is mutual, Obake. I do have respect for Dr. Starline and the Analog Man as well."

"Oh, it's such an honor to hear you say that, Mr. Eggman Nega, sir. Know that you are my favorite here as well."

"As for who I hate... Though I haven't met them in person, that Peni Parker and her robot, SP//Dr remind me too much of Hiro and Baymax, which remind me of my past Failure! If I can't get my revenge on Hiro, then Peni will be the next Best thing..."

"I feel the same way about that key wielding Sonic that showed up not too long ago! Dimensional variant or not, he's still a Sonic, and Sonic ruined my plans many times! I want to destroy him personally...!"

"Hey! You lay off him, Egghead! That Sonic is mine, ya hear me!? I'm the one who's gonna destroy him! I hate him and every other Sonic out there! I'll destroy them all until the only one left is me!"

"You tell 'em, Scourgey! Now, tell them how I'm your favorite person here!"

"If by that, you mean my LEAST favorite person here, then yes, that's you, Rosy."

"Awww! You say the meanest things, Scourgey! You're one of my favorite people here, too..."

"But her... This one right here... She's my girl..."

"Aw, thank you, Rosy. I like you, too. Such an adorable little psychopath ready to smash some heads... It's like having a little sister... But of course, my favorite has to be Dark Mega for obvious reasons."

"You're my favorite, too, Dark Empress! A beautiful Darkloid queen like you has stolen my heart..."

"As much as that Empress chick terrifies me almost as much as Rosy does... Gotta agree with her. Dark Megz is my favorite member here. We both got beef with our goodie-goodie two shoes doppelgangers, and we both want to live in a world of chaos."

"Yeah... I'm disliking that Megaman more and more each day. He gets to keep his Lan, while I was rejected by mine when I became the ruler of the Darkloids."

"I feel the same way about Roll. She gets to keep her Mayl, but mine wouldn't accept the new me..."

"Can I help you smash that good Roll that makes you look bad, best friend?! Can I, can I, can I?!"

"Sure... As long as I get to land the last blow."

"Deal!"

"Obake and Eggman Nega are inspirational. Their genius far exceeds mine, and I have much to learn from them. I don't have any personal beef with anyone on the enemy team... Yet... But that ARiA and her army of Guardiangemon might be a problem."

"CHYA HA HA HA HA HA!!! My favorite person here is obviously the Great Lord Brevon! No one can compare to his greatness...!

"As for who I hate the most, obviously it's that blasted Commander Torque! He and Squid Head have been getting in Lord Brevon's way far too many times! I promise to destroy them!"

"I can always count on you to praise me, General Serpentine. I, too, can't stand Commander Torque. That blasted dragon girl might not be with him now, but he can still be a problem... Especially with that new squad of his."

"My favorite member is Ophelia! Even if it's not official, she's awesome!

"And my favorite member on the other team is my beloved Nana..."

"You're supposed to be talking about the enemy members you hate, lover boy. Anyway, probably no surprise to anyone, but Mr. Tinker is my arch nemesis on the enemy team. I got over the grudge of him 'murdering' Dr. Eggman ever since meeting the superior Eggman Nega. That doesn't mean I don't want to show him up. What about you, Sync?"

"..."

"Gee, nice choices there, chatterbox."

"I think we can all assume he hates everyone equally, teammate and enemy alike. Anyway, it seems we reached our limit, time-wise. We need to get back to our plans of taking over the Multiverse."

[sentient-rift]

Merry Christmas!

"Merry Christmas, everyone!"

"And a Happy New Year!"

"Happy White Tree Day! That my equivalent to Christmas on my planet, for those who don't know..."

"We hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas day, everyone! WAHOO!"

"Merry Christmas, Happy Stones Day, Happy White Tree Day... Happy Holidays to everyone all across the galaxy!"

"We hope you're all spending Christmas or whatever your holiday equivalent to it is with your families."

"Good tidings, my friends... I wish you all a Merry Christmas filled with great joy..."

Merry Christmas, everyone. I'm going to spend time with my family, but I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas today. I don't know when I'll be free again, but I will try to appear again as soon as possible. Until then, Merry Christmas, and God bless.

Light had felt some relief that Basswood didn’t hold any ill will on Gibbous’ initial reaction to seeing him and slipped his jacket on before getting up from his seat. It was a bit difficult to juggle the toddler to grab his guitar bag, but he managed since her hands had already reached up to grasp his shirt as she always did.

He could only assume it was a habit she picked up that was a comfort to hold onto him.

Once his bag was secure on his shoulder, both arms were used to adjust her into a better position, the soft huff followed her resting her head under his chin but that was the last sound she made as he reached into his pocket for the device they’d use to get home.

“We’ll definitely come back soon.” That was a promise he’d be sure to keep. Taking a moment to think of their destination, he tossed the Warp Ring forward to expand. A part of him wished it didn’t show their mess all living space, but it couldn’t be helped and stepped forward to head home.

“Bye bye Amy… Bye bye Baahssss-wooooooo…” He smiled, watching Gibbous take one hand off his shirt to wave before returning to snuggling into his jacket. Raising his own hand in farewell, the pair stepped through to head home.

amy looked absolutely appalled to hear that, and it was that expression more than light's words themselves that made the speedster chuckle a little, only to quickly hold up his hands when his teammate glared at him. still they both had to give credit where it was due, and for light to be so fluent in a language that was brand new in the grand scheme of things was impressive.

and it also explained why gibbous might not have been so quick to pick it up. the pieces were all slowly coming together, but amy's offer definitely still stood. the library was there, if it was ever needed. but basswood was in full agreement with the toddler there. it was better to spend time outside and not in some dingy, dark and quiet library. the island was more than enough fun, there was no need to change that.

fortunately neither hedgehog thought to ask more about where the pair were from. they had more than gotten their fill, and had sufficient context clues to go off of. that was enough. they weren't there to prod into something that wasn't their business, something that was out of their skill set as far as they were concerned.

that wasn't to say light wasn't correct in his assumptions, that basswood and amy wouldn't have helped if they thought the offer would be taken, but as it was they weren't going to bring it up. it seemed their day of excitement and introductions was coming to an end. as all things tended to do.

❝ eh, forgive and forget. or whatever they say. i think we've worked it out. ❞ there was no bitterness to be found in the speedster's voice, just his usual carefree tone as he gave a lazy, two-fingered salute to the former soldier. all in all, the day had been fun. a little vexing, but enjoyable.

something amy would concur with as she smiled, hand folded behind her back. she was sad to see them go, but it had been quite a while since they arrived. no point in causing problems just for a few extra minutes. "remember you're welcome back anytime! we'll always be here, so you'll know where to find us. no excuses~"

[familylightfox]

@emeraldtied asked:

It was obvious the hedgehog was waiting to catch Light alone at the next opportunity, though he had a feeling what he was about to offer was something the other wouldn't entirely go for. If even at all. But Arrow had to offer, just in case. "If you want...I could try t' talk t' him. Can't promise anything will come of it, but it might get things moving in the right direction."

After Gibbous had been laid on the bed in their shared room, finding the former soldier wasn't hard. He had taken to sitting on the couple's back porch to think over what his friend had said. It was true; he couldn't keep avoiding the elephant in the room explaining to the toddler what was happening. She might have been young, but she picked things up quickly.

The fact that she could understand more of Arrow and Mina's conversation with her earlier was a testament to that.

Yet he had been trying to keep her out of the adult 'drama' as some would call it. She was too young to be stressing out over things, but trying to do so was clearly making the situation worse.

So when the hero found Light, he stared out at the woods surrounding the home until he turned an ear to show that he had heard the footsteps. The offer wasn't answered right away. Mismatched eyes still focused on the far horizon before he spoke.

"If I could be certain he wouldn't attack you on sight, I would be willing, but we both know he wouldn't listen to reason." Light looked over at his friend and sighed. "I honestly don't know if he's ever going to get past the fact that both Gibbous and I were made by Robotnik. It doesn't matter if I let Tails or Rotor root around in my cybernetics or its coding or hell, Gibbous going off on him. He can't see us as anything but an enemy..."

The usual neutral mask dropped for only a moment.

"I'm starting to wonder if contacting them was a good idea in the first place..."

❛  what the hell just happened there ?  ❜ - from the first meeting sentence starters ( @bcnes )

It had been a long day for the Filisophlite, already overwhelmed by the amount of work put in front of her on day one. Already a surge of people going in and out; scans, testing, you make it. It was a busy day for the med bay and boy the pressure was on. It was shaky fingers pressing buttons- speaking about diagnosis.

Then it happened in a flash- a lot of talking. Some yelling of protests. And then Bluebird nearly collapsed due to the sheer amount of anxiety hit her; not to mention that for the most part she was working on an empty stomach. Not good. Especially for creatures such as herself that need food at some point in order to function.

Just like humans, when a Filisophlite goes without food for a while they get shakey. Clammy hands with bad coordination at times. Unfortunately it hit Cassie hard once she got a moment to breathe. And then she hit the floor. Only blinking rapidly moments later and sitting up. Blue hues meeting her higher-up's. Doctor McCoy.

"I-I don't remember, Doctor. I'm- I'm sorry-" Bluebird spoke, trying to gain full awareness of her surroundings. Did. That really just happen? Gods that's so embarrassing- and even worse. The woman felt like it was entirely unprofessional.

[gippyworm]

Man I've been pretty on it with this assessment I'm doing but have slowed right down and it is SUCH a drag, I'm so ready for it to be over... It's due tonight so hopefully I can get it done before midnight and I can go to bed at a reasonable hour. Doesn't help that I'm all weak and shakey from an iced latte I had this morning rip

[familylightfox]

Light seriously hoped that Kounosuke’s world didn’t end up like theirs. The overtaking of machinery and robotics was such a detriment to the environment and was the reason that there was a rebellion against Robotnik.

Well. ONE of the reasons.

But he didn’t linger on the topic and instead tilted his head in confusion. “How is it you gain weight by looking at a food?”

It took him a moment more to realize that it had been a metaphor and folded his ears back as pink dusted his muzzle. A soft word of apology was given before shaking his head.

“I believe my physique is by design. I don’t actually need to eat as much as a normal Mobian.” Hopefully, that would explain some things, without going into further detail. Light wasn’t exactly sure he’d know of a good way to explain what was their dynamic without sounding insane.

“But if I was being honest. I wish Gibbous would at least put on a bit more weight. She’s still malnourished from before she came into my care.”

A look was given to the toddler in question as she shifted ever so slightly on his tail, stretching her arms out before settling back in. “I’m worried that her growth may be affected. Not many believe she’s three years of age due to her size.”

“It sounds like what the Earth is slowly turning into. Although we’re not that far yet, we’re reaching points where fresh food is hard to come by, for those same reasons.”

It made him wonder if they came from some world that was somehow a futuristic version of the Earth. But that was because there was also so much he didn’t know about where they came from. Maybe someday, he’d learn more, but all in due time. Kounosuke personally stayed away from energy drinks. But he did occasionally sample coffee.

“…You mostly eat fast food?”

Eyebrows furrowed.

“How do you do that and stay so thin? All I have to do is look at dessert and I’m ten pounds heavier.”

Maybe he was a little envious, but he’d also never fault Light for the miracle that was whatever kept him thin. Came from a society that treated larger people as though they were worse off. Even though Kounosuke was incredibly healthy, he was told he’d never be as important as someone thinner.

“I wish I could look more like you.”

"How do you make the juice taste different?" She couldn't help but to wonder aloud as she sat there, her little feet kicking and fingers tapping along the side of the glass Diluc had presented her. "You grow them all the same, but the juices don't taste the same."

[fallen-symphony]

Percy appears in a portal

"Uh... where am I now?"

The alarms start going off.

"Lord Brevon...!"

"I know, I know. Another intruder. Just put them on screen, Serpentine."

General Serpentine put up the screen where they saw Percy coming from a portal looking confused.

"Isn't that the brat with the Omnimon Zwart?"

"Oh yeah! I remember him. Is there something different about him today, or is it just me?"

"Whatever the case, I'll go see what this is about."

Slur teleports to Percy's location in the Dreadnought.

"You, there! What brings you to the Dreadnought this time?"

[familylightfox]

Now it was the former soldier's turn to chuckle as he watched Gibbous polish off the last bits of whipped cream from the side of the cup. The way mismatched eyes turned back to the demonhog gave away the amusement in them.

"I believe most of their babysitting duties fall on Arrow's mother or her alternate." One finger was used to gesture to the toddler, who looked up while licking all the bits away from her muzzle. "As for how I met Arrow..."

This was where things became slightly more complicated. There was a jumbled mess of memories to sort through, not all of them matching the current state of their world. Light had taken a moment to focus his thoughts and Gibbous nudged his hand with her nose to keep him grounded.

Thankfully there wasn't a full-blown episode before his eye refocused.

"I helped him escape from one of Robotnik's cells before the doctor realized he was there. That was our first meeting. The second was a similar incident but the second time we kept in contact..." He had to pause, wincing as a few images flashed across his vision.

"Dah-dee?" Gibbous' alert was warning enough that he shook his head clear.

"Things get slightly muddled for me memory-wise after that. Our world was reset by Robotnik and I'm still unsure why I seem to retain the memories."

Hearing Gibbous’ little pop up, Dan would chortle softly finding it honestly adorable before attention returned to Light. So they really did have a mutual friend as the description was far too accurate to ignore on top of the names being said.

“Heh, despite how vast the realms are somehow it doesn’t entirely surprise me now, doesn’t seem so big.” Mumbling to oneself for a moment, not trying to keep it particularly quiet as he resumed the conversation. “Arrow’s a good friend of mine, certainly helped on some rough days. I’m still relatively new to Lyra though, I was worried I might scare her so was putting off visiting, yet she warmed up a lot faster than I thought.”

At this stage he’d finished his drink and was now using a finger to gently slide along the edges of the glass, taking the time to just relax while they were seated and talking.

“They know they only need to contact me if they need a hand, though as long as they don’t start trying to make me babysit….not that I’d say no, its just I don’t think it would end well.”

“How’d you end up meeting them out of curiosity? One of Mina’s concerts or something?”
