A bit about Scales that Burn Flame!

I wrote a story about Sol Badguy!

It takes place during Revelator, around the time when That Man and his servants come to talk to Sol, Ky, Leo and Dr Paradigm. It focuses on what might have happened after Ky threw Sol out the door.

Mostly, it’s just Sol going through it and Ky trying to help alongside Jack-O’ but it’s kind of questionable if they actually did help at all in all honesty.

If you’d like to read it, please click here!

I wanted to talk about my thoughts in more detail, thinking that maybe you’d be interested to hear my thoughts as well! It's just me blabbing about how much I love Guilty Gear, mind you.

All under the cut!

Conception

It all started when I watched all of Sign, Revelator, REV 2 and Strive’s story and arcade modes after reading the digest mangas because I wanted to learn about Guilty Gear lore.

Is it a little crazy? Maybe.

I love Guilty Gear so much, you have no damn idea how it tickles my brain in the good way. All the characters have such depth to them, I have no clue how Daisuke does it but I bow down to his power.

The music is AMAZING as well. You don’t even have to be into the games to enjoy the sheer bangers that come from them. My favourite song is Freesia, the amount of emotion in it always takes me aback when I listen to it.

FREESIAAAAAAAAA HERE I AMMMMMMM—

My favourite story is the one that whole Xrd line of games tells! I think it’s one of the better ones in terms of how it’s told over the course of (technically) three games.

I also like Overture’s story for Valentine and the ending where Sol has to kill her but then learns that she was a clone of Aria…I think it has a great one. The game isn’t that bad to play either, I’ve done about half of the missions!

And Strive’s one too because it ends off Sol’s story and he gets to actually be with Jack-O’ by the end! Axl and Megumi too!

Fun fact, I’ve cried at the end of Sign, Revelator and Strive after watching their stories. They were all so good in many ways!

One of my gripes with the story in general is that we don’t get to see much of the in-between before major events, which is really apparent in Strive. Sometimes characters just appear out of nowhere and it’s a little jarring.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing, but I wished we got to see more of certain characters and how they got to the major events happening. I wanted to learn more about their thoughts and feelings that would give everyone so much more than they already had and make the overall story even better!

This is especially the case with Sol and Jack-O. I really think that they should have had more interaction during Revelator and Strive since their relationship is so important to both their characters.

For example, we get nothing from when Sol was thrown out the door to when they’re on Johnny’s ship on the way to where Elphelt is. You’re telling me that they did not interact once in between all that and that Sol was somehow okay with the whole idea of who Jack-O’ was just like that?

They deserve better and so I decided to take it all into my own two hands. I would write it out myself since I realised that I can cook my own meals and so I cooked (hopefully well)!

Why Sol’s point of view?

I chose to write in Sol’s point of view since he’s one of my favourite characters. I didn’t think I would like him so much when I first got into Guilty Gear, but once I learnt about his backstory….

THIS POOR GUY.

YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT HE KILLED ARIA MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS A SCIENTIST WHO IS SMART AS HELL????

MAN, I LOVE HIM. HE IS PERFECT TO ME.

I’ve never written someone like him before, so it was a fun challenge. I don’t know how well I managed to portray him in all honesty, I wanted a good mix between his whole asshole personality and the humanity that’s underneath it all.

I tried my best!

There’s a whole bunch of swearing everywhere as you can tell, I think Sol’s one of those people who swears more internally than he does externally. It was fun dropping a bunch of bullshits and fucks all around, but I hope I didn’t overdo it.

I’m sorry to whoever clicks on it without reading the tags and is just bombarded by swears. Sol swears and there’s nothing I can do about it. It wouldn’t sound like him otherwise.

The story was originally was going to have a different plot where I alternated between Jack-O’ and Sol’s point of views while focusing on their pasts but I scrapped it since couldn’t work out how to bring Jack-O’ and Frederick into it without making the flow of the story weird.

It also wasn’t meant to be this long but my stories always tend to be long as hell. I think this one is borderline close to my magnum opus, Paradox which is impressive!

I remember at around the 15k point, I thought I would be done and then subsequently kept on writing and writing….

I hope you all still enjoyed it none of the less!

Beginning

We see that the story starts off with a bit about Sol himself for the readers. We learn right away about his stances on various things and how he hates Asuka and how much he loved Aria.

It was the perfect place to start the story, providing the right amount of information I could work with for the rest of it! I thought it would also work for someone who didn't know too much Guilty Gear and wanted to still read it.

I liked writing the whole section where Sol just calls the whole thing bullshit. I think it’s a fun word, bullshit. Ah, bullshit.

The most important thing to this part is that it builds up to one of the main major scenes that features a wonderful person named Ky Kiske and his long wonderful hair who tries to help.

Why did you cut it in Strive????

Sol and Ky

This part here could be read as Sol/Ky in my opinion, because you can’t tell me that there isn’t something between the two of them. I didn’t really intend it to be but you really can’t miss the possibility of such things in the way I wrote it.

Anyway!

As we know, Ky threw Sol out the door and Sol let out his huge scream we see in the main story.

I think it’s strange that no one ever mentions it happening at all. There’s no way in hell that they didn’t hear from behind the door and yet it’s as if it never happened.

Once again, since we never got to see the in between…we wouldn’t ever know. I had a lot of creative control over here, but I tried to make it realistic so it could sound like something you’d see in the actual story if we got it!

Sol breaks down, consumed by his own damming thoughts that only told him how it was all his fault at the end for killing her. It’s the only logical conclusion after learning what he learnt from the person he hates the most and the girl who was technically Aria.

You can tell that Ky is pretty worried about Sol, because he’s never seen him like this. Sol’s not one to show much emotion aside from grumpy and royally pissed off.

Unfortunately for Sol, he keeps telling him to breathe over and over. I think that Ky’s trying his best to comfort his rival but it’s not working out since Sol’s not even listening.

Sol hears the words from Jack-O’ and Asuka behind the door, and well…all hell breaks loose. I don’t know how accurate his reaction would be, but I tried my best based on how he acts!

In After Story A, we find out that Sol was actually scared of Ky back in the days of the Crusades. I had to bring that into the story here, using that gaze as a way to snap Sol out of his state at times.

My favourite part I wrote was when Sol yelled at Ky that he killed Aria. I think it’s something that takes even you aback, because you don’t expect him to say it to anyone, let alone Ky.

I think I cooked here.

You can tell that I keep bringing up the concept of the headaches. We see them mostly in Overture when Sol is near Valentine (and when he sees Jack-O’ for the first time in Revelator and it’s mentioned in his win quote for Ram in Sign). I feel like we never see them again after that and I think it’s important!

I imagine his head hurts because of the fact that it is Aria in a way and he’s reacting to it (amplified thanks to the Flame of Corruption + the probable instincts that came with becoming a Gear).

How could I not use it?

Sol’s intermission by the fountain—

He breaks. Again. I’m sorry Sol, I swear I do love you, it’s just that it’s for the plot.

This is probably the most emotional part of the story, one where Sol is quite literally going through it.

You can tell that the style of writing is different here. It's more faster, more messy, almost chaotic. That's what I wanted, to reflect how Sol was feeling throughout all this.

I chose the Royal Court for this! I was thinking about where Sol could go after storming off from everyone, and all I could think about was a fountain. I had some ideas of using his reflection, but I wasn’t sure if there was a place in Illyria Castle that had it.

I searched it up and boom! I even played Xrd and checked out the stage, and there was definitely a fountain and a walkway that lead to it, so I went straight to writing!

During the part with Ky, I mentioned how Sol’s hand started to smoke twice. That was foreshadowing for him losing control of his powers. I think his power is linked with his emotions, flaring up when he’s more angry as an example.

I think he would simply transform into his Dragon Install if he’s overwhelmed, as you can see that happening at the end of this part.

I used quotes from the original game, Overture and Sign for the flashback scenes. I remember I was searching up for the script for Sign, but found this website instead where it had some of the messed up things that happen in the series.

I never played the original game, but seeing “Sol, the Guilty Gear, stared at his bloodstained hands and prayed. Prayed for the soul of the grotesque sacrifice laying before his feet.” made my heart drop in a good way.

IT’S SO GOOD.

I had to use it. I thought it would be painful if I mentioned every single time he killed Aria or she’s mentioned explicitly in the story, just to hammer it all in ehe

You can see that Sol punches himself at the end to knock himself out before he can fully transform. I think he ultimately does care about his actions and how he can affect everyone, and he didn’t want to become that monster he kept calling himself.

Poor guy….

Sol and Jack-O!

I wanted the two of them to interact one to one. We only got that at the end before Jack-O’ merged with Justice and that was only for like 30 seconds tops, which is so unfair!

I needed an excuse for her to come back to see him after she left.

I feel like Asuka would be monitoring Sol from the shadows like some creepy person. He probably has something that can tell him about Sol and the state of the Flame of Corruption inside of him.

The whole breakdown surely would have raised some alarm bells and so, he sends his remaining two servants out to see if Sol was okay. Asuka had an inkling that it was related to what Jack-O’ probably told him before she came back.

He’s probably like that.

This whole section jumps from one thing to another, which suits Jack-O’ perfectly. Poor Sol’s emotions are going from one end to another thanks to her antics and wonderful words.

I really like Jack-O’ Valentine, if you can’t tell. I wanted to show that more philosophical side we see in Jam’s story mode that we barely get to see otherwise in Revelator. Strive gives us a lot more of it, at least.

“Don’t be pushed around by fate, don’t be swept along by the time, don’t be fearful by parting, don’t run away from death, and go towards the future you believe in…Frederick.”

“As long as you remember me, my story will never vanish.”

These lines here are from Honkai Impact 3rd! It’s a game I absolutely love and I was playing through some more of Part 1 and these lines that Mei says when she talks about the Elysian Realm were perfect and I stole them.

I always keep stealing things from the game, don’t look at me lol

It sounded like something Aria would say. She would tell Frederick this if she had the chance to, giving him the hope he needs to continue on.

Sol (kinda) cries! I don't think we ever see him crying in any of the games but I thought that hearing such words would make him cry in some way. I made it up that it was the Flame of Corruption's fault that he can't have actual tears, since it would make sense!

High temperature + Tears = Evaporation after all!

You can see that Sol was thinking about kissing Jack-O’, just for a second. Look, you can’t tell me that he doesn’t see his lover (technically) and he doesn’t want to kiss her again as he used to?

Of course he doesn’t, he would never do anything to her without her permission. I think Sol would be a stickler about that, as seen when he asked her about if she wanted to go on a vacation or do work in Strive at the beginning.

I don't know how in character this is, but it's there.

The end makes me laugh because of how quickly Sol shifts from being (somewhat) happy to pissed off in a split second (LOL).

Candy, Candy!!!

We have Sol and Jack-O’ looking for the kitchen for candy, how fun!

This part wasn’t meant to be as long as I made it, but I got heavily invested into the plot I made up and it kept flowing out of me….

I think I overdid it, so much crazy shit happens in this part but I think it’s funny so…it’s okay? I hope you all liked it!

I like how Ky and Jack-O' have a little fun friendship here. I think they would good friends at the end if they had the chance to communicate, like so!

I think Sol would be jealous of them. I mean, they act like goodie goodie friends out of nowhere? I like how they mostly gang up on him and he gets all mad.

We have Alyssa in the story! You know, that one girl from After Story C that made that giant pudding. I just wanted to make Sol have beef for no reason and she sounded like the person for the job. He absolutely hates her for no reason.

We have a chocolate fight too. Uh...this idea just came up in my brain and I had to write it. I thought it was so damn funny that Jack-O' is attacking him a whole block of chocolate for no reason. The worst part was that Sol would actually get into it.

I think it was at this point that it started getting a little crazy but I think you could plausibly see this in game. I mean, after all the crazy stuff that happens in After Story C, anything is possible lol

Raven here is a little shit of course. I think he would shoot Sol with one of his needles for fun, and of course no one cares. Ky is sort of just there but he gets his parts too!

I had fun writing this part!

Leo.

I mentioned how Sol was going to get a mouthful from him since he kept destroying public property and I couldn’t help myself from writing it out.

I just wanted to make Leo freak out and faint. I hope it made you laugh!

That’s a wrap!

Thank you for reading all this if you do!

I had a lot of fun writing this story while being very Guilty Gear brainrotted about literally everything and anything with this series.

These characters make me very happy. I could go on day about Sol and Jack-O', and it's not funny.

Mini Fanfic #1221: Skipping Homework Day With My Two Favorite (Only) Grannies! (Guilty Gear Strive)

2:12 p.m. at the Illyria Castle, Sin Kiske's Bedroom........

Sin: (Groans Loudly While his Head Was Laid Down on his Desk) ('UUUUGGGGGGGGHH') Mannn! This blows! (Pulls his Head Back Up as He Looks Down at the Stack of Multiplication Homework His Parents, Ky and Dizzy, Gave Him) I've been coped up in here all day today and I'm STILL stuck on the first page. (Crosses his Arms While Pouting) I know school's a big deal and all, but I'm a Bounty Hunter, I hunt thing! ('UGh') If only there's someone I know who could break me free from this madness!!

?????: (Knocks on Sin's Door) Knockity, Knock, Knoooock!~

Sin: (Gasps as He Turns to See a Very Familiar Face Sticking her Head Out in hints Room) Granny Jack-O!~ (Happily Gets Up From his Seat Before Making his Way Over to his Grandmother) What the heck are you doing here!~

Jack-O: (Happily Spreads her Arms Open) To see you obviously!~ (Catches Sin in a Very Loving Hug) I can't go on another day without seeing my precious granbaby who I missed and love so, so much!~ (Starts Kissing on Sin's Cheek)

Sin: (Chuckles Ticklishly by his Granny's Kisses) Hey-ey now!~ The feelings definitely neutral.

????????: She's not the only one who misses, my dear grandson.

Sin's face turns to even more glee as he and Jack-O turns to see another familiar face walks into the room.

Sin: Granny Testament! (Walks Over to his Second Grandparent) You came to visit me too?

Testament: Why, of course~ (Happily Hugs Their Grandson) I couldn't bear to proceed any further with my life without visiting my most precious grandson in all the cosmos. (Gives Sin a Kiss on the Cheek)

Sin: (Starts Snickering a Bit) I swear, your words are getting more fancier by the minute.

Jack-O: I know, right? Everything about them screams elegance. I'm kinda jealous....

Testament: (Smiles Sheepishly at the Duo) I.... wouldn't exactly say that I'm the most elegant person in the world, but I am truly happy to see ypu two think very highly of me nonetheless. (Notices a Stack of Paper Sitting on Sin's Desk) I take it you've being doing homework this entire time?

Sin: (Sighs While Slouching his Upper Body Down a Bit) Yeeup. My math teacher says my grades has started slipping, so he convinced mom and dad to put me on a study/homework plan to catch up, starting with multiplications. It's so dumb.......

Testament: (Gives Their Grandson a Light Parental Glare) Now, Sin, you know they're only doing this to help improve your education in the long run, right?

Sin: Yeah, i know, but I've been working on it since first thing in the morning and it already got me stressed and bored outta my mind ever since.

Jack-O: ('Sigh') Stress and boredom. Two emotions I keep getting far too often these days......

Sin: (Turns Back to Jack-O) You had to do pages of homework too, Granny Jack-O?

Jack-O: Worse. I had to do stacks of paperwork, mountain sets of them, some of which were tall enough to create a mini fort around my own desk!

Testament: Oh come now, darling, it couldn't looked that ba- Oh my goodness. (Eyes Suddenly Begins to Widened at the Picture of Paperwork Fort Jack-O is Now Showing Both Them and Sin on her Phone)

Sin: (Looks Closely at the Photo in Question) I dunno, Granny Jack-O. It's looks more like a mini castle than it us a fort.

Testament: (Turns to Sin) Castles and forts are the same thing, dear?

Sin: Wait, really? (Crosses his Arms Together While Thinking) I could've sworn they're different.....

Jack-O: (Rolls her Eyes a Bit) Castle, fort, tomato, tamato. They're huge stacks of papers I never wanna go through again for at least the next months! (Smiles Brightly Again) Right now I wanna spend this beautiful, lovely day breaking our grandbaby out of this boring joint!~

Testament: (Turns to Jack-O Woth a Surprised Look on Their Face) I beg your pardon?

Sin: ('GASPS') Really?~

Jack-O: Really ×infinite!~

Testament: (Glares at Their Fellow Grandparent) Jack-O, no. We will not be doing that today.

Jack-O/Sin: What!? Why?

Testament: Because he has studies and homework to complete and we both know how very serious his parents about his education!

Jack-O: Obviously, but everyone deserves a break every once and while. (Wraps her Arm Around Sin's Shoulder) Especially this handsome cutie right here~

Testament: (Puts on a More Deadpinned Look on Their Face) Jack-O, I know what you're trying to do, it won't work.

Jack-O: Oh don't be even more of a stick in the mud. I'm only showing you how fearlu he miss spending time with his sweet, elegant gran-gran these days. Isn't that right, Sinny-Dear~

Sin: (Sticks his Arms Out and Puts the Most Adorable, Pleading Look He Could Muster) Gran-Gran~

Testament immediately winces at their grandson's sad puppy dog look, one of their most effective weaknesses.

Jack-O: (Forms a Cheeky Grin on her Face) Yeah, that's right~ There's no way you could say "No" with a face as cute as this, can you?~

Testament: (Tries Their Hardest to Resist Sin's Face.....) (So cuuuuuute~) (.....Only To Ultimately Sigh in Pure Defeat) Alright.... I concede.

Jack-O/Sin: ('GASPS') For real!?~

Testament: ('Sigh') Yes, yes, I am indeed "for real". But ONLY if you promise me that you will go back to finishing your homework once we return back here afterwards.

Sin: ('Sigh') Okay, but could you and Granny Jack-O help me out along the way? I really don't want to be stuck in rut anymore.

Testament: (Forms a Small Smirk on Their Face) Come visit you grandmother and I more often and our assistance will be granted.

Sin: (Happily Shakes Testament's Hand) Deal!

Jack-O: (Happily Pumps her Fist Up in the Air) Alright! Our Operation Break Our Granbaby Out of Boredom Jail is a definite go!~ (Grabs her Chin While Thinking) Now, how exactly are we sneak pass the guards?....

Testament: Why so that- (Creates a Dark Portal With the Palm of Their Hand) When we can just use a safely tasted portal to leave instead?~

Jack-O/Sin: (Happily Claps at Testament's Fullproof Plan) Ooooooooooooh!~

An Hour or So Later at L'oro Di Illyria's Glorious Café: Outdoor Patio.......

Sin: (Munching on the Cookies and Maccrons Testament has Ordered For the Three of Them) So- ('Mmm') Is this really the place you and Captain Johnny went on your date that one night?

Jack-O: (Munching on the Treats as Well) ('Mmm') Under shiny stars?~

Testament: (Gives the Duo Another Deadpinned Look) Please stop talking with your mouth full, you two. It's very unproper and unsanitary.

Sin: Oh. (Swallows the Cookies He Was Eating On Before on a Sheepish Smile Along with Jack-O) Uh....S-Sorry about that, Gran-Gran......

Jack-O: The sweets here are so delectable and yummy, we couldn't help ourselves....(Giggles Awkwardly)

Testament: Well, you're not wrong. Their desserts and pastries are the talk of the entire town for a reason. (Closes Their Eyes and Forms a Very Satisfied Smile as They Start Thinking About the Most of Desserts They've Eaten so Far) The well crafted designs, their appealing, sweeten aroma, their RICH, crunchy, creamy flavor~ Every last one of them gets even more tastier than the last the MORE YOU-

Testament immediately puts their rambling into a screeching halt as they notice Sin and Jack-O are staring at them a little funny, causing the Gear to slowly blush in the process.

Testament: B-But anyways- ('Clears Throat') Yes. Johnny and I have came here one night. On a date.

Jack-O: Ooooh~ How lovely~ (Places her Chin on the Middle of Both her Palms Before Leaning Herself in a Little For More Details) Did you two had a good time?

Testament: (Happily Nodded) We have, yes. It was a beautiful and peaceful that night. We've hummed to some of the lovely music an elderly man was very kind enough to play for us in his guita. (Giggles a Bit at the Memory in Question) We even laughed and talked for hours on end before the manager asked us leave for the night which lead us take a stroll the night away, enjoying the view of each architect we've passed at the time. ('Sighs Dreamingly') Everything that night wonderful. (Starts Blushing Again) Johnny, himself, is wonderful as well~ For the most part.

Sin/Jack-O: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) Most part?

Testament: As lovely as he is, he's also a bit of a- How does the youngsters call it.....A try hard. (Sighs While Putting on a Small Pouty Look on Their Face) Honestly, we've been dating for two and a half years now and that man still tries to woo me with his charms and medicore pick-up lines, every chance he gers. It's very adorable in hindsight, but when will he ever get it through his cute, thick-headed skull of his that I am already, attracted to him completely no matter what he do?~

Jack-O: (Casually Shrugs) Some people just want give their partners more of their attention. It's not the worst thing in the world so long you don't make it too much of a habit.

Sin: (Snickers a Bit) Like how you always try to find ways to make Gramps notice you more?

Jack-O: (Immediately Pouts at her Grandson) No!....(Turns Away While Twiddling her Fingers Around and Blushes) Yes.

Testament: (Rolls their Eyes a Bit) Of course. There's never been a time of day where you haven't attempted to impressed that stubborn burte of a man....How has he been doing these days if you don't mind me asking.

Jack-O: (Smiles Brightly Again) He's doing great. Still a grouch on the inside- (Hugs herself While Swaying her Upper Body Side to Side in a Very Lovestruck Fashion) But ohhh so sweet and romantic on the inside!~

Testament (Raises an Eyebrow at Jack-O) Frederick? A romantic?

Sin: Yeah, even I find that hard to believe honestly.

Jack-O: It's true! One night, I asked him how he feels about and if he still misses Ms. Asuka and he says- (Clears her Throat Before Putting on a More Rough, Gruntier Voice) "Jack, Arie's gone and you're still here. You're great just the way you and I love you for it. Now for God sakes ,woman, go back to sleep already."

Sin: (Chuckles Lightly) Okay! I take it back. That DEFINITELY sounds like the Old Man alright.

Jack-O: (Happily Clasps her Hands Together) I KNOOOOW!~ I told you he's a sweetheart!~

Testament: No one says he wasn't one, dear. Only the romantic part.

Jack-O: Which he excels on with flying colors these days!~

Testament: I doubt that.

Jack-O: (Pouts at Testament) Oh just give him a chance already, Testie. He'll might surprise one of these days.

Testament: Oh, I'm sure he will. Don't think it'll be anytime soon, but in due time I suppose. Speaking of which- (Turns Back to Sin) Sin, do you have a certain somebody you're interested in?

Jack-O: (Leans Over to Sin a Bit) In a romantic sense?~ (Rapidly Blinking her Eyes, Awaiting for the Answer)

Sin: Nah. I'm not really into that lovey-dovey stuff like you guys are honestly. (Grabs his Chin While Thinking) Though, there is this one girl I've been thinking about as of late. You know, the one who used to hate Gears so much. Unika, I think was her name?

Jack-O: (Eyes Widened at Who Sin Was Talking About) The T.E.O.C. brat that tried to kill you and Freddie in the past!?

Sin: The very same, yeah. Not the most friendly girl around by a long mile, but I do kinda wonder what she's doing these days. Maybe she's traveling on foot?

Jack-O: (Crosses her Arms While Pouting, Very Not Please of the Girl Sin Mentioned) Or hiding.....

Testament: Either one of these options are plausible in retrospect. Though, if there's one thing for certain......(Takes a Sip of a their Tea Before Putting the Cup on the Table and Putting on a Dark, Intimidating Look on their Face) She better pray to high heavens that she doesn't stumble her way back to this Kingdom or be foolish enough approach ME for that matter........

Jack-O: (Puts on a Dark Look of her Own) Or me for that matter. (Cracking Both her Knuckles One by One) Been wanting to have a few words with her ever since that incident and it's high time I make a reality! (Turns to Testament) Wanna search for her just in case, Testie?

Testament: (Simply Nodded) Yes. Let's. (Is About to Get Up Their Table-)

Sin: (Quickly Stops his Grandparents) Woahwoahwoah Hey, hang on for a second! You guys don't need to do any of that!

Testament: (Look Back at Sin) Are you sure, darling?

Jack-O: (Starts Pouting Again) I wanna punch her......

Sin: I know you do, Granny Jack-O, but I'm definitely sure about this. I mean, sure, what happened between us on that day really sucks and all, but she has her reasons for why she was angry, for the doing the things she did. And I get that, even if I'm not a fan of her trying of harm my family just to prove a point. So let's just relax for a bit. No use getting angry over the past anymore, am I right?

Both grannies stare at Sin for a few seconds before letting out relaxed, defeat sounding sighs.

Testament: I suppose.

Jack-O: We'll let it go for now. (Gently Ruffles the Top of her Grandson's Hair) Only for you, kiddo.

Sin: (Chuckles Ticklishly by the Hair Ruffling) Thanks!~ I know it's a chore to listen to a dumb kid like me-

Jack-O: ('GASPS') Sin Kiske, how dare you!?~

Testament: (Gives Sin a Srern, Motherly Glare Along with Jack-O) We will not tolerate you putting yourself down like that, young man!

Sin: (Quickly Brings his Hands Up in Front of his Face in Fear and Defense) I know, I know! I was just saying! N-No one wants to be lectured by a dumb kid all the time, am I right?

Jack-O: For some people maybe, but YOU- (Boops on Sin's Nose) Mister, are not dumb! You have shown us plenty of times that you are more smarter and clever than you're giving yourself credit for right now.

Testament: (Nodded in Agreement) She's right. Remember the time you helped May and I complete five different sets of picture puzzles back at her ship?

Jack-O: Or the time you've managed to beat your old man at an one v. one UNO match effortlessly in under a minute or so, without even making a single pokerface to throw him off?

Sin: (Chuckles Lightly at the Memory in Question) Yeah and he starts throwing the throwing whole table to the side. He was fuming that night!

Jack-O: (Giggles Softly) Oho definitely!~ Nut I wouldn't expect any less from my grumpy gills of a man~ But do you see where we're getting at here?

Sin: Yeah, I think so. ('Sigh') My grades beg to differ though....

Jack-O: (Gives Sin a Reassuring Smile) You'll be able to improve and do better on them in due time. There's no need to fret over that.

Testament: (Gently Grabs Hold of Sin's Hand While Smiling at Him as Well) and there's no need for you to doubt yourself either. You are as unique as they come, Sin, do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Understand?

Sin: (Stares at Both His Grannies For a Brief Second Before Smiling Back at Them) Yeah. I got it. (Smile Turns into a Sheepish One) But....you'll still help out whenever I ask for one, right?

Testament: (Giggles Softly) Of course we will, dear. Always. (Gives Sin Another Kiss on the Forehead)

Jack-O: (Happily Hugs Sin) What kind of grandparents we'd be if we don't help out our baby boi?~ (Starts Kissing on Sin's Cheek)

Testament: Honestly, Jack-O, you're going to end embarrassing that boy if you keep kissing him like that.

Sin: (Casually Shrugs) Eh I don't mind. Let 'em stare. (Forms a Bright Smile) At least everyone will know I have the most awesomest grandparents in the entire universe.

Testament: (Heart Begins to Melt in Genuine Happiness as They Join in on the Hugfest) Bless your pure heart!~

Sin let's out another laugh as he continues to spend some much needed time with hisvtwo favorite (only) grannies in the universe.

Unknowingly to them, however, there are two familiar figures watching over them from the far distance.

Ky: (Chuckles Lightly at the Trio in the Distance) It seems those three are already having a grand old time out there.

Dizzy (Giggles Softly) So it seems. It's been so long since I've seen Testament act like a dotting parent. It's so precious~

Ky: (Snickers a Bit at the Memory) More precious than the time Jack-O started cheering and running around entire castle once we first told her that she's a technical grandmother to the kids?

Dizzy: (Giggles Some More) I find that more silly if anything, dear~(Smiles Softly as She Leans the Side of her Head Over to her Husband's Shoulder) But it makes me happy to see to that our family is getting along these days.

Ky: (Wraps an Arm Around his Wife's Shoulder) I couldn't agree more. But you know something?

Dizzy: Hm?

Ky: It surprises me that you let those two sneak Sin out of the room earlier. I was for certain you would have a fit over it.

Dizzy: (Playfully Pouts at Ky) Oh hush up that cute mouth of yours, Ky Kiske!~ I can be as fun of a parent as you are, you know?

Ky: (Chuckles Lightly at How Adorable his Wife is Acting) Of course, you are, dear!~ I've just seen you becoming more laser focus on getting him do his homework these days it's kinda hard not to see you as the serious parent of the castle hold.

Dizzy: ('Sigh') You're not wrong there. Education is important and it's cruise for him to learn about it in the outside world rather than just hunting all day. (Gives Ky the Brightest Smile She Could Muster) But my baby's happiness is far more important to me than that all together and, you know?

Ky: (Stares at Dizzy For a Brief Second Before Smiling Back at Her) Yeah. It's important to me too. We'll make sure he maintain that happiness for as long as we both shall live.

Dizzy: (Nodded in Agreement) Right. For Sin.
