“The hell are you doing?”

“Dancing, what’s it look like?”

The music resonated gently in the cooler September air up on that rooftop, and Race’s phone, from which it came, was perched on some cheap plastic lawn chair someone left up there to go white and sun-bleached forever and a day ago. The tune was light, and cheery, Spot observed as he sat cross-legged on the concrete beside the chair, and the lyrics (which he was less apt to listen to, more lost in the visual) seemed just as well. 

He was absorbed by the image of gangly but graceful pale limbs directing themselves purposefully through the space, like they weighed nothing at all, the feet shifting along the concrete floor as though it were ice. Often Race would turn just right and the evening sunlight would hit his hair and eyes just so, and he looked like an angel with his hair all golden and aflame. Stupidly pretty, honestly. Spot was a victim of hypnosis- but he found he didn’t have so much quarrel with that as soon as Race flashed his cornflower eyes his way during a spin with that obnoxious half-smirk on his face. If he weren’t so pretty, Spot would’ve clocked him. He wouldn’t even be up here, actually.

Maybe that wasn’t true. Deny it as Spot might, Race was actually a very enjoyable companion- he was definitely a friend, even if the relationship was a bit odd. He liked to joke, and when you stopped taking it so seriously (it helped that Spot usually wasn’t the subject of the punchline, but he was getting better), it was fun to pitch in.

“You just gonna spin around all night, ballerina, or are you gonna show me what it is you brought me up here for?”

Race threw his head back as he stopped himself before a jump. He cocked an eyebrow. “What, not enjoying the show? You’re up here for your opinion, idiot.”

He stood up, hardly stifling a grin. “What if I don’t have one?”

“Guess you’ll have to think of something.”

Spot shrugged. “All due respect, your highness, but I’m not exactly a professional critic.”

Race rolled his eyes, a hand on his hip as he walked over and picked up his phone, stopping the music. “You could at least try.”

“You looked like a noodle when you did this, two stars. Did I do it right?”

”Spot,” Race said, and Spot flushed when he grabbed his hand. “You can do better than that.”

He tapped his screen a few more times with his free hand until a song started playing again. Spot couldn’t say he recognized it.

He tugged him to a different spot on the roof, where he let go and did a few more delicate spins, looking just as seraphic as before but with a Spot who was even less apt to admit it. He sat on the ledge, his feet still on the inward side- but it was enough to make his heart skip. 

“The hell are you doing?”

“Dancing, what’s it look like?”

And with that he propped his feet up on the ledge beside him, heel to toe, with his hands in a similar position behind him. Spot tried not to think of the 38 stories below them as he arched, but it was difficult, even with the sun highlighting his silhouette so perfectly over the skyline. He shuffled to his side, just as he swept his feet back to the inward side and leaned forward. He was smiling, knowing-like, like he knew exactly what feelings he’d just created in Spot- the panic and admiration both. 

“I’m fine, Spot. I’m a professional.”

Spot hummed noncommittally at the seventeen year-old definitely-not-professional dancer as he hooked his fingers on the inside of the ledge and leaned back, heels digging into the concrete. Spot watched as he leaned back, his head going lower than the ledge extended upwards as he bent. Spot swore.

“Shit, Race, could you please not- you’re gonna kill yourself.”

But Race only popped back up, grinning and offering his hand. “Help me, then.”

Spot really had no choice but to take the hand of such a stupid and charming creature. He squeezed tightly, a gesture which Spot returned carefully, and Race flashed him the tiniest of rare, genuine smiles. He was going to be okay.

Race held on tightly but Spot’s grip was just as unwavering. With both his feet still on the floor of the roof, he stretched out with his free hand, leaning out into the open air with his hand flexing like he needed to grab hold of something, like the twilight star that had just appeared in lieu of the sun setting on the other side of the sky. Spot could picture him with a pair of wings, taking his place among the other marvels of the heavens.

The sun was almost completely gone in the west, the sky darker now. To Spot, it was seemingly just as bright as before with Race filling up space in it. His curls moved in the wind and he looked so fragile, so painstakingly human, despite the angel Spot couldn’t help but see him to be. If Spot let go, he’d fall.

They both knew he wouldn’t. Race was even brave enough to shout down to the streets below, and Spot laughed, earning another one of those rare, sweet smiles. He was acquiring a taste for them, really.

With a small nod from Race, Spot pulled him back in, steadying him with a shy hand on his hip when he stumbled. He smiled, his eyes slighted as he looked back over the ledge.

“Like I was flying, Spot,” he said breathlessly, and Spot couldn’t have felt luckier than he was in that moment, seeing such an exuberant smile on Race’s lips. “I was touching the sky.”

Spot smiled, feeling the boy’s palm against his own still. “I know,” he said, moving his thumb lightly over the back of his hand. 

He was the sky, and that’s why it was so wonderful.

// I present.. a solo starring my KH trio and their new friend! //

While sunlight fell against the mining world of Montressor, a brass-goggled alien found himself haggling a poor, poor shopkeeper for a better price on certain alchemical materials, and of course some herbs and flowers for making tea.

"Allons donc, mon amour..." He begins, his voice practically emitting steam as he spoke in such a sultry tone, goggles being adjusted and placed upon to reveal a pair of citrine eyes, half-lidded and gleaming.

Leaning over the table full of wares. The alien opposite of the flirtatious catlike man stared down at him, a flush growing across his face. Six eyes in total were sparkling upon his inhuman visage as his pupils dilated, ocassionally averting away from his would-be customer's glance.

"My journey will be long, and arduous as I will be with a series of spacefaring fools who likely have not even bathed in a week - my dear! And I gaze upon your many eyes and wonder if I should even entertain the thought of traveling with such hooligans..." His clawed fingers curl around the shopkeep's hand. "If I may have these wares for say... hmm, half the price... I may reconsider this fool's errand. The two of us can leave this planet by tonight and be basking in the starlight of the Pleiades by morn!" Said with a purr - a long, and melodic purr. A brow cocks upon the shopkeeper's face, glancing down at him now with a hint of suspicion. But the doubt faded as he saw those eyes glancing up at him once again, with lashes fluttering so daintily.

"I suppose I will be packing up come evening..." The man stammers, nearly choking on his words.

"Fifty-percent off. No more."

"Ah, darling! I shall brew a new blend in your honor! Pray tell me your favorite sort of tea..."

Alistair was estatic, tail raising upward and swaying in a circular motion.

"I shall return by nightfall, and we shall bathe in the starshine - side by side." A kiss was planted upon the shopkeep's hand, earning Alistair a surprised - yet welcoming gasp.

Once the transaction was completed, the Felinid gave his new would-be paramour his goodbyes with his new purchases in hand.

-------

"Sweet Olympus, you're telling me you used to be on par with Mr. Dreamy over there?" Chuckled a black-cloaked figure, yellow eyes glowing from behind her hood as she watched the display from afar.

A tentacled cyborg with periwinkle skin gave a sigh as he stands beside her, his good eye rolling sideways and stopping to glance at her.

"That's disgusting, Xu. Who'd want to ~bathe in the starshine~ alongside you, you 'lil stick of takoyaki, you?" She baby-talks her companion, who was unable to tell if she was teasing or genuinely being mean to him. Not that he cared anymore.

"I wonder if this fabled Treasure Planet has the secrets of killing gods." Mutters the tentacled man through his respirator.

"What was that, short-stuff? - hey, brass-ass is back." She chimes up, seeing their android companion staring at them with a bag full of goods in tow.

"You are... quite emotive for a woman without a heart. I have recorded your little banter to study further." Smiles the android with a flick of his indigo hair. Xesper, the yellow-eyed goddess, only gives a smirk in response. "Practice, babyboy, you will learn too. Luckily, you've got the capacity to feel." She pinches the android's cheek with a grin, showing off a pair of fangs. The sudden gesture caused Xzarias - her android companion to jump slightly and wipe his cheek off with a long, black sleeve.

The trio's eyes fixate on the man who they were studying previously, who seemed to have his tail tucked between his legs and his ears back as he sauntered through the crowd.

"Go on, Xu, put on the moves with the pussycat. Maybe we can hitch a ride and take over a ship... he did say he was going on a journey." Shrugged Xesper, looking in the direction of Xuluko, her cyborg companion.

"Or maybe Xza would do a better job..." She mutters, noting the cat-man's nerved demeanor. Perhaps the cyborg would scare him a bit. But if the towering six-eyed shopkeeper didn't, maybe Xuluko would still be a good option.

"I'm telling you..." Xuluko begins. "Without a heart behind my words, the flirting's just not what it used to be. That and... the various cybernetics."

"Something tells me Mr. Pussycat doesn't mind a little metal an' wire." She shrugs, giving a laugh before the man began to pass by. She had to think fast, so Xesper thought quick and pushed both of her shorter companions riiiight into him.

The two cybernetic men stared at one another, and then down to the cat-alien they'd knocked to the ground. Standing at a magnificent 5-feet-tall, or rather laying.... Alistair rummaged through his scattered purchases with muttered curses. His hand met with a leather-gloved one, and their eyes locked; Xzarias and Alistair stared at one another for what felt like eons. One visually attracted to the other, and one finding the other fascinating by a scientific standpoint. Or so Xzarias told himself, as his mental processes failed him and he began to mutter out strings of binary code.

"1..0... Allow me to assist." HIs circuits seemed to have been set aflame.

"Oh, no... you need not trouble yourself." Alistair pulls his hand away slowly, laughing ever so softly as he studies Xzarias's features.

"Pray tell, my sapphire-eyed friend... how did the stars align so perfectly to arrange this meeting?"

"Sapp-sapphire-eyed? O-oh..." Xzarias finds himself stuttering as he averts his eyes, looking up at his confused companions. Xuluko offers Xzarias a hand to help him stand, who in turn assists Alistair after he picks up the rest of his things. The cat-man looks up at the trio, slit pupils enlarging.

Oh no, the entire three of them were cute.

Finding himself overwhelmed, Alistair nervously tugs at his jabot to loosen it. No, he wasn't meant to be nervous around those he found attractive!

"Have you got a vessel, uh... mmm... beautiful?" Xuluko asks coldly, staring down with his single-remaining eye. Getting straight to the point.

"Ye-yes, but 'e's in the shop!" Alistair begins. "I-I've hitched a ride on the RLS Legacy for a mission of sorts."

"Ah, a mission?" Xuluko asks, tilting his head to the side. Completely oblivious to the fact that Alistair found his cold, deadly aura to be attractive.

"I'm sure they need capable fellows, heard you calling your compadres rarely-bathing fools, after all." Xesper laughs softly, at least trying to being a wingwoman for her two friends. Being the only married one out of the three - she didn't exactly have her eyes on the Felinid. Not that she'd want to get fur between her teeth, anyway. Treasure Planet could have had with it secrets to restoring their hearts, and at the very least -- treasure. And if this young man was planning on spacefaring, that was their first ticket to finding the fabled place.

"...Come with me, we'll consult the captain." Alistair begins, taking off in a mad dash through the crowd he longed to get out of.

Xzarias noticed the increase in heartrate Alistair had when Xuluko was brought into the equation -- and what did he have that Xzarias didn't?! He scoffed and the trio took off after the flirty Felinid, their intentions... not exactly pure, as they only wished to take over the ship and use Xuluko's navigational skills to find Treasure Planet.

Roleplay Server Log #176

“Digital Alignment”

[Doc] Wilts- It's to help Flux.

[Lie] Nudges CP- Come, we should help

[CP] - But I've already opened ways a few times today!

[Doc] Does that wear you out? With all the extra energy you have?!

[Lie] - CP...

[CP] - Noooo...  Fiiiiiiiine- Stands and heads for the door  with Lie following

[Doc] Picks up Lie and they pass outside.

[TLOT] Gives a respectful nod to all before going back in with Steve in tow.

[Doc] Come on Flux, let's go next door.

[Flux] - Alright...

[Lie] - So what exactly is happening?

[Doc] Dawn wants to have a look at Flux. That means coming in for a bit, it's easier that way.

[CP] - Oh joy...

[Doc] What, you hate her too?

[CP] Pauses to glare at Doc-

[Doc] What?

[CP] Keeps walking and goes to fireball open the door-

[Doc] Rushes ahead- No fire! There are books! Geeze...

[CP] - Then open the fucking door!

[Flux] Hesitates, but does open the door-

[Doc] Passes into the impressive space, the air has just a hint of book smell, and theres a faint crackle from the redstone scattered around the central pillar decoration. Xe sets Lie down and takes out the carrot again before poking it a few times- Okay, they're ready when we are. Waiting on their porch actually.

[CP] - The porch is not an electronic item

[Doc] She's on the phone though, that's how I'm talking to her. A flip phone is good enough, isn't it?

[CP] Grumbles- Yeah, whatever- He concentrates and creates an opening, forcing the screen on the phone larger so they can enter

[Dawn] Scoots in through the hole, she's wearing a pair of loose black pants and a tank top with a bag slung across her chest. Her scythe staff makes a hollow thump as it hits the wood floor, she wavers for a moment as her resolution goes down.

[Mort] stumbles a bit in the portal and pats his chest in a tizzy as he's translated into a Minecrafty skeleton. Though still with a loud shirt and blue shorts.

[Dawn] How odd...

[CP] Grumbles and shuts the portal-

[Mort] Is looking at a bit of his hair, the tips look like the disconected pixels of chain mail armor.

[Dawn] This place is amazing...

[Lie] - Welcome to our home Dawn

[Doc] It was your turn to visit anyway.

[Dawn] Looks around and then down - Oh my gods..... YOU ARE SO CUTE. BOTH OF YOU!

[CP] Hisses angrily-

[Mort] Okay the red one a little less cute. Why's he so angry?

[Lie] - Because he's technically being punished

[Doc] You remember Cp right? That's his cat form.

[Dawn] Shit... yes. Is he.... bettter now?

[Mort] He did go rather crazy last time we saw him.

[Lie] Walks over to her mate and licks him a little- Calm down

[Doc] The white one is Lie. And this is our friend Flux.

[Flux] - Hello

[Dawn] Turns to her and just stares - I... holy.... I see what you mean. I mean, I'm Dawn, and this is my mate Mort.

[Flux] - It's nice to meet you

[Dawn] You as well... Why didn't you call me sooner?!

[Doc] We didn't know.

[Dawn] What are you, a potato? I thought you had better perception then that.

[Doc] Sorry...

[Flux] - I've become very good at hiding away

[Dawn] It's not a matter of being seen visually, you're so out of balance I'm shocked you can stand. Mort, circle time.

[Mort] Got it... I'll go... read something.

[Flux] - Out of balance?

[Dawn] Yes. Your energy centers are extremely messed up. But it's okay, it's something I can fix and it won't be much work to maintain it afterwards. Cp, you might also want to make yourself scarce, or guard the door. I'd prefer this to be women only.

[Doc] Should I leave?

[Dawn] No, you're going to observe, in case you need to do something similar later.

[CP] - Why the fuck women only?

[Dawn] Scowls - Because I need her to undress.

[CP] Grumbles but heads for the door-

[Doc] Lie? Do you have your clothes to change back? This might be instructive for you too.

[Lie] - No

[Doc] I can whip up something. - Xe casts around and settles for skimming some pixels off the diamond blocks to make a light shirt and some wood from the floor for shorts.

[Dawn] Nice trick

[Lie] - Thanks- She shifts back and is quick to pull the clothes on

[Dawn] I'd prefer not to do this one the floor, can we get some kind of a table?

[Doc] Lays down two black wool blocks.

[Dawn] If you'll just disrobe and lay down please, miss Flux?

[Flux] - But if I'm still too long...  I'll taint things...

[Dawn] Okay I'll lay a quick circle, that will keep it in.

[Doc] We can always throw the wool away. Would it help to float them?

[Flux] - Some, but it would still spread

[Dawn] Work quick. I got it. - She pulls out a container of salt and pours a rough circle around them. She's murmuring as she does it and there's a sense of crackling energy rising up behind her as she walks the boundry. She makes a second circuit laying colored candles at each quarter marking and striking a small lighter to set them aflame in their glass cups.  She kneels and quietly prays to her angelic master for a few moments, before standing again and drawing a star in the air and returning to them in the center.

[Flux] Shuts her eyes briefly and her clothes disperse-

[Lie] - Flux?  Are your clothes made from raw magic as well?

[Flux] - Yes, any cloth I wear would become tainted otherwise

[Doc] Okay, it's a sad reason to do it like that, but I'm impressed all the same.

[Flux] - I'm not sure I understand...

[Dawn] It's impressive to be able to make something via visuilzation and be able to hold it as a steady thoughtform that people can actually touch. It's way beyond anything I'm used to seeing...

[Flux] - Well I have been doing it since nearly the creation of the game

[Dawn] Nice. Okay you too, I won't draw this out since you said there's a danger of contamination, but I still want to show you what I'm doing. -At Lie and Doc-  Give your hands a nice hard clap together and rub your palms together until the skin tingles a bit.

[Doc] Does as xe's told-

[Lie] Does it as well, a bit confused-

[Dawn] Takes Doc's hand in one of hers and Lies in the other and hovers them over Flux's forehead-

[Doc] Holy crap, it feels like a cold waterfall!

[Lie] - That feels a bit weird...

[Dawn] Flux, your energy centers are really unbalanced. I'm not gonna go into the minutae because the technical names are a bit too short on vowels for my taste. Suffice to say, some of them aren't working at all or are spinning slowly backwards. That's why you're putting out bad energy with the good.

[Flux] - I was unaware...  I've been like this since my creation

[Dawn] shrugs-  Hey, nobodies perfect. It's like visiting the chiropracter. A little adjustment will go a long way. Could you lay down for me? On your back-

[Flux] - Alright- She moves towards the blocks and hesitantly lays down on them

[Dawn] Pulls several small stones from her bag, under the low resolution the tumbled gems are just clusters of colored pixels with a hint of gradiention and rough facets. - Well start with the red because that one is completely off. It's weird because, for most humans thats the only one that works really well on a regular basis- She hovers her hand over Fluxs muff and makes a stirring motion before laying a small garnet on the rise of skin. - This is the lowest chakra, your primal desires.

[Flux] Stiffens- Ah...

[Doc] ....

[Dawn] Yes, yours is particularly active. - Points at Lie- Her's is hardly moving at all.

[Lie] - Hey!

[CP] Ears flick towards the conversation having snuck back and is hanging out on the other side of the book shelves-

[Dawn] Moves her hands a bit more and places a bit of orange moonstone above the garnet and then a bit of citrine a bit farther up from that - These are both slow but working... you're learning how to make friends I suspect...

[Flux] - Er..  Yes...

[Dawn] Life itself is learning. Your heart chakra is going slowly backwards, this may feel a bit odd. - She pushes the air slightly above Flux's heart cluster and exerts some of her own magick on the swirl of energy.

[Flux] Jerks in surprise a little, the blocks beneath her are starting to slowly turn purple-

[Dawn] Both of you are welcome to hover your hands by mine so you can feel what I'm doing. It's more intuitive then a specific process-

[Lie] - I'm fine

[Doc] Feels out the space but doesn't get in the way-

[Dawn] Gets the spin at a tolerable level and places a chunk of malachite on the skin to keep it going while she works. She fusses around Flux's throat a bit and puts a bit of soldalite there. - Your blue is slow, you don't speak your mind much, do you?

[Flux] - It happens when you've been alone as long as I have

[Dawn] I'm sorry. I know how that feels... Now for the powerhouse, you need a little bit less here - she brandishes an ameythest point and sticks the tip against her forehead, slowing down the wildly spinning core of energy that's invisibly spewing everywhere.

[Flux] Shifts a little, not used to the sensation she's feeling-

[Dawn] Now we cap it, so they'll all fall in line- She puts a chunk of clear quartz the size of her fist on the table so it's touching the crown of Flux's head. Theres a sense of something spinning up as the seven energy spirals all fall into harmony down the length of Flux's body.

[Flux] Jerks in surprise, nearly dislodging the crystals.  The blocks beneath her are nearly dark purple in color-

[Doc] Flux... The blocks... - Xe decides to just break the floor under the blocks she's laying on and Dawn skips back in suprise as they're removed.

[Flux] - That's the taint, the poison I create

[Dawn] You should be good for now, if you can stand, you can put your clothes back on. - She gathers the crystals and puts them away.

[Flux] Simply disperses herself and reappears next to the tainted blocks, her clothes already reformed-

[Doc] Breaks the tainted blocks with a creative smack so they dissolve-

[Lie] Fixes the floor- Should we expect any residue from those blocks?

[Flux] - No, it should be safe

[Dawn] Okay Flux, you are going to have to do a little maintinance so you don't fall out of whack again, but it's nothing strenuous. Give me a minute to make you some instructions.

[Flux] - I...  I feel weird...

[Doc] Is watching Dawn draw what look like small human figures-

[Lie] - Weird how Flux?

[Flux] - I'm not sure...

[Dawn] I guess if you've never been in a stable state it would feel weird. But it's how you should feel all the time. Try holding a block and see if it gets messed up.

[Flux] Hesitates as she creates a block, holding it nervously-

[Doc] That's weird looking...

[Dawn] It works though

[Doc] even the one with your tongue hanging out?

[Dawn] Yes.

[Lie] - I'm sorry, what?

[Flux] Is watching the block closely, there's no change-

[Dawn] Holds up the paper- here's my perscription - The artwork is a basic yoga routine with some instructions for doing a short meditation afterwards. - I know you have trouble keeping track of time in here, so just do it every day when you get up in the morning or every day right before bed, whichever feels more comfortable for you.

[Flux] - I see...

[Dawn] Just because you're made of magick doesn't mean you can neglect your solid body. Take care of yourself, okay?

[CP] Notices the main doors open and Ashe comes trotting in, excited-

[Flux] - I will do my best to do so

[Dawn] Freezes staring at him- A LITTLE DRAGON. - She's clearly excited.

[Mort] A what?!

[Ashe] Tilts head a little- Who are you?

[Dawn] And he talks! I'm just your friendly neighborhood witch. My names Dawn, this is my boyfriend Mort. What's your name?  

[Mort] Waves amibly.

[Ashe] - I'm Ashe!

[Dawn] Well, you are absolutely adorable Ashe.

[Doc] Grins- Come for another round of books?

[Ashe] - Uh huh!  Mamma said I could come by myself!

[Dawn] Momma? You guys have a family of dragons? Awwww.

[Ashe] - Yeah!  And I have two baby siblings too!

[Dawn] Okay that is way too neat. You guys are absolutly spoiled. The only dragons I know are pretty nasty.

[Ashe] Turns to Doc- Can I get books from upstairs this time?

[Doc] I think you may still be a bit young for that... and your mom might be mad at me if I said yes anyway.

[Ashe] - Okay- He starts searching the shelves on the lower floor

[eddy and Edward] -open the front door and come inside snake is on Edward's shoulder for adult supervision-

[Mort] grins- Is that where the naughty stuff is?

[CP] Stretches and walks towards Lie who kneels down to pick her mate up-

[Doc] Pretty much. I got a lot of self-published smut since it's plentiful on the internet.

[Dawn] And... I don't even know. More little creatures, with a snake?

[snake] -kazoos- is there a party here I didn't know about?

[Ashe] Chirps at the two enders in ender-

[Dawn] Just a bit of energy healing.

[Doc] Can I clean up the salt?

[Dawn] Give me a minute- Is already blowing out the candles and making quiet thank yous in the main directions. -

[eddy and Edward] -make little ender noises back at ashe as eddy goes over to see what he is doing and Edward walks over to dawn-

[Ashe] Nudges Eddy before looking at the books again-

[Dawn] Stops to watch - Hello little one. Hey.... you kinda feel a little bit like Flux...

[Edward] -makes a little ender noise at dawn-

[Flux] - They are of no relation to me

[snake] -waves- hello i'm snake

[Dawn] That's a bit unsettling...

[Mort] What an odd noise.

[Doc] It's okay, they're friendly. They're sort of living dolls. Some kind of magick brought them to life.

[Ashe] - They speak ender, like me and my family

[Dawn] That would be why it feels familiar. It's another concentration of the backround energy here.

[eddy] -is now looking at books as well-

[Mort] It sounds neat, but I bet it would be scary as hell if they were bigger.

[Ashe] Goes to scratch himself with his hind leg.  There's then the sound of something metal hitting the ground- Oops...

[Doc] Finishes with the salt, - Ashe?

[Ashe] - I think I broke my goggles...

[Lie] - Adult endermen can sound rather scary if your not used to it

[Doc] Oh. That's okay, I can fix them. Let me see.

[Mort] Are they for flying?

[snake] -is very curious- do I seem weird?

[Ashe] Sniffs around until he finds his goggles and carefully makes his way over to Doc-

[Dawn] Rustles around in her pockets and comes up with some peppermints. - Do they like candy?

[snake] as long as it's not a wet kind they are can't have liquids.

[Dawn] Huh? Well you remind me of a tatzelwurm with those little arms and you are certainly unusual. Can you come over here? - She's sitting on the floor to be on Edward's level. - It's just hard, is that okay? - She holds up several little wrapped mints.

[Ashe] - Liquid hurts us- Bumps into Doc

[Doc] Also sits down to fix the googles. The glass is cracked and xe's melting the pixels back together.

[Ashe] Patiently waits-

[Mort] No water at all? How do you not die of dehyration?

[Edward] -takes two and calls over his brother in ender who comes over and gives him one and they both have one-

[Ashe] - It just isn't necessary, Mamma says we come from a place with no water at all, so we don't need it

[Dawn] Ashe, do you want a candy?

[Ashe] - Mmmm, I don't know...

[Mort] So you come from a desert?

[Ashe] - No, we come from the End

[Dawn] Is smiling watching the two little enders. - So you were dolls? Are there other witches here?

[snake] -climbs off of edward at gets closer to dawn- gem accidently made them with a glitch.

[Lie] Is just holding and petting her mate-

[Dawn] Ah, who's Gem? -Hovers a hand near him - Hmmm, you know I've been around mediums who had spirits that hung around to guide them. You look solid enough, but you feel like that.

[Lie] - Gem is another brine

[Flux] Puts away the block she was holding seeing as how nothing has happened to it-

[snake] Gem is also a space angel and I am one of her guardians who protect her

[Dawn] An angel? Ah, someone with a different kind of magick. You all seem to have such varied skills. And that would be why, you are a guiding spirit.

[snake] I do not guide I keep her from getting hurt and the space angel names is due to the angel like wings and they live in the void of space.

[Dawn] Oh, I didn't mean to offend. I usually avoid dealing with aliens or anything else that claims to be from space. They're usually ultra rather then extraterrestrials posing as space people. So I've never heard of anything like that- She's obviously fumbling and wondering if Gem is from another game she's just never heard of.-

[Lie] - Dawn...  Would you like a tour of our home while your here?  You can visit Splender again while here too

[snake] space angels normally would avoid a planet like earth because there is no reason to be there so it is understandable you never heard of them.

[Dawn] Okay, I am familiar with normal angels, but I think that must be a very different thing. But please Lie. That would be lovely.

[Doc] Now I can introduce you to my mate as well!

[Mort] Cocks his head at Doc - his thoughts are a bit loud wondering what the mate of someone so unusual will be like.

[Doc] Fits Ashes goggles back on- Hows that?

[Ashe] - Good!  Thank you!

[Doc] without thinking about it goes to scratch Ashe's little ears and chin-

[Ashe] Trills a little-

[Dawn] That noise is adorable too.

[Lie] - Most of our friends are next door right now

[Ashe] Giggles- Now I can read!

[Mort] They're glasses? I think I'm gonna die again, this time of cute. - He winks at the little dragon and there's a sound like a bit of celery being twisted as the bone around his eye streches down briefly to cover the pinpoints of light within.

[Ashe] - No!  Don't die!  Skeletons can't come back!

[Mort] Huh? Eh, I'm already dead kiddo. But that's okay. My soul is pretty durable.

[Ashe] - No!

[Mort] No? I don't get it.

[Ashe] - When a skeleton dies here, they don't come back!

[Mort] I think I'm missing something here...

[Doc] This game has skeletons, but they're a hostile mob type. If you kill them they don't respawn like players.

[eddy and Edward] -go back to looking at books-

[Mort] Oh, well... I have kind of a special deal going with Death, I think I'm safe.

[Ashe] Worried noise-

[Lie] - It's okay Ashe, we'll be here to protect him

[Dawn] Hey Ashe, I'm his sworn protector, I think he'll be safe. In fact, would you like to see something cool?

[Ashe] - Yes!

[Dawn] She takes up the curving staff she brought in and thunks the end of it on the floor. From the top a blade springs out as if unfolded from the handle. It looks like violet glass and is glowing softly. - Can I have a block of something? Anything as long as it's super dense or hard.

[CP] Flicks through the creative menu and tosses bedrock at her-

[snake] -is watching both dawn do the trick and eddy and Edward-

[Dawn] Makes a graceful swing with the scythe at the block as it comes towards her, the glassy blade slicing through it and leaving two half slabs of bedrock on the floor at her feet.

[Ashe] - Whoa...

[Dawn] It's blessed and so am I. A gift from my master. - Takes a little bow

[snake] that's amazing that's the hardest block in the game!

[Dawn] I can cut anything with this, it was made by Azrael. It's made out of some of his energy.

-There's a thump outside-

[Endrea] - Ashe? Is everything okay?

[Ashe] - Mama!

[Dawn] Folds the blade away so as not to appear threatening, the giant dragon is visible as a black shape outside the windows and her voice is equally loud.

[Ashe] Runs outside-

[Doc] Opens the door as Ashe heads for it - Hey Endrea, we were just chatting.

[Endrea] - Ah, I see

[Lie] - Come on Dawn, let's go meet the others

[Dawn] Looks at Snake, - are you coming with? Or staying to read?

[snake] I have to watch eddy and Edward they came here to read so I will be staying here but if you see anyone that looks like they are just light blue and white it's another guardian they should know you through my mermories.

[Dawn] Reaches down with two fingers to pinch and shake his little hand- It was nice to meet you then.

[snake] it was very nice to meet you too

[Mort] Walks up next to Lie - so where are we going?

[Lie] - The bar next

[Doc] Is watching Ashe with his mom. Xe's just smiling.

[Dawn] Lead on Lie.

[Endrea] Cleans Ashe a bit-

[Lie] Leads the way next door to the bar-

[Flux] Is taking up the rear-

[Doc] Hangs back to walk with Flux and takes her hand-

[Flux] Stiffens a little-

[Mort] Is reading the silly signs by the bar door and snickering.

[Lie] - There are more signs inside

[Doc] It's safe now. I trust Dawn's work.

[Mort] Politely opens the door for Lie.

[Lie] Step through, still holding CP- Hey, we're back

[TLOT] How did it go?

[Lie] - Well, Flux shouldn't poison things anymore

[Steve] Is staring at Mort- I've never seen a skeleton with hair before.

[Mort] Hmph.

[TLOT] I like it.

[Dawn] Hello TLOT, Mort, this is the brine I told you about, and his husband Steve.

[Mort] OH! The shapeshifter! Neat!

[Lie] - Hey Sam, some fresh drinks for our guests?

[Sam] Shakes his head suddenly, he was staring too. He tries to say something in his native tongue to Mort but the other just looks at him in confusion-

[Doc] It's okay Sam, they're not from around here.

[CP] Tries to slink away once Lie puts him down-

[Dawn] Lie, your husband is escaping.

[Doc] Snorts a laugh

[Lie] - It's okay, he'll come back at the promise of sex

[CP] Perks a little-

[Doc] You could change him back, he's been pretty good. I can make him some clothes if you didn't bring his.

[Lie] - Yeah, his are still at the house...

[Stevie] Has been sitting next to Notch-

[Mort] Notices Deerheart, - Dawn... there's a faun....

[Dawn] Really?

[Deer] Is playing with Yaunfen-

[jewel] -after waking up comes up the ladder and says nothing-

[Doc] That's my mate. Deerheart, you remember I told you about Dawn and Mort right?

[Deer] - Hm?  Oh!  Yes, hello!

[Mort] Charmed. You look every inch a woodland sprite.

[Dawn] I love the antlers.

[Doc] Beams as if to say "my mate is lovely and perfect LOOK AT HER"

[Lie] - Doooooooc

[Deer] - I asked for them as soon as I saw Lie's sketches of them

[Dawn] I didn't know you were an artist Lie?

[Lie] - Not really, I'll sketch sometimes though...

[Mort] Haha. Your mate does that too huh? Dawn's given me some upgrades as well.

[Deer] - Doc's only done my antlers and hooves

[TLOT] Enjoy your nap Jewel?

[jewel] -very quietly- everyone is so loud in here I have to much of a headache for this.

[CP] Rubs against Lie's legs-

[TLOT] I think Sam can give you a healing potion with a bit of fizz if you want it.

[Dawn] Sam, I'm not a big drinker. Do you have any lemonade?

[Sam] ?

[Steve] The sour yellow fruits I brought you, with sugar.

[Sam] Nods in recognition and goes to make it.

[Lie] Sits at a booth and looks at TLOT- How is he?

[TLOT] He's still hurting but it's not intolerable. He finally fell asleep a bit after you left.

[Flux] Is still over by the door-

[jewel] that's a good idea tlot -walks over to the bar waiting for sam to get back so she can ask them-

[Mort] Well there was only one thing I really really needed. - Mort leans over to Deerheart and whispers conspiratorially into her ear-

[Deer] Giggles before responding- Doc's used to that too

[Sam] Comes back with the leomade and mixes a health potion with some ice for Jewel.

[Mort] I suspected as much, they really go for the Frankenstein aesthetic, don't they?

[jewel] thank you sam.

[Sam] Nods politely-

[Deer] - Yes, but I love it

[jewel] -starts drinking the potion-

[Mort] I can see that. Well, I can taste emotions when they run high and your love is like a huge beating heart throwing warmpth all around you.

[Deer] - Well, I was created for them

[Doc] Gives Yaunfen a kiss and starts flipping through the creative for some wool.

[Mort] Now that's love...  Does Doc have a patron deity too?

[Deer] - Hmmm, I suppose I'd have to say it would be me...  I am this server after all

[Mort] You're a goddess? Man... Doc is lucky.

[Doc] Blushes-

[Deer] - Well to them I am

[jewel] -notices dawn and just stares at them because she doesn't know who they are but they look human-

[Doc] True that. - Xe leans over the table to kiss hir mate

[Deer] Hums happily into the kiss-

[Dawn] Hello. Are you another creepypasta?

[jewel] yes I am

[Mort] This little dragon is just a bundle of joy and cute squeaks.

[Yaunfen] Squeaks and opens hir mouth wide-

[Dawn] I take it you're not feeling well?

[jewel] I have a hangover.

[Mort] boops Yaunfen's nose with the lightest touch of one finger.

[Doc] This is our baby, our little Yaunfen.

[Mort] I heard you can be a dragon Doc, I take it this lovely lady can be too? Hence the baby dragon?

[Yaunfen] Squeaks-

[Dawn] Quietly- I'm sorry. You should have some water too. Hangovers are mostly about being dehydrated.

[Deer] - Well yes I do, but that's not how Yaunfen happened

[jewel] sam could I have some water as well?

[Doc] plucks a few pixels off hir own fluff of hair and spreads it out into a chocolate colored sweater, xe then fashions a pair of pants out of black wool and folds it neatly. - Here you go Cp.

[Sam] Gives Jewel a full bucket of cold water.

[Lie] Stands and takes the clothes- We'll be right back

[Mort] Ah, adopting is a noble act.

[jewel] -takes the bucket- thank you sam -starts drinking g the water-

[CP] Follows Lie to the bathroom and after a few moments comes out as human again- Fucking finally

[Doc] cheerfully at Cp -  Now come and hang out with us my friend.

[CP] - I'd rather not

[Dawn] Always the pill. Hows the sword?

[Honedge] Swoops in and attaches itself to CP-

[Mort] Can I have some water too? I'm not in the mood for much.

[Sam] Obliges and there's a slight gurgling noise as Mort puts his finger in the glass and the water wicks away at his touch.

[Dawn] I guess that answers my question, looks like it was missing you

[CP] Grumbles-

[Lie] Laughs a little as she steps around her mate to return to her seat-

[Doc] Picks up Yaunfen and snuggles them.

[Yaunfen] Many happy squeaks-

[TLOT] I think I'm going to move Notch now that he's stabilized. Stevie, will you come with me?

[Stevie] - Yeah, what do you need me to do?

[TLOT] Nothing, I'm just going to make some hop teleports. Just grab my cloak and I'll take you with me.

[Steve] Is already holding his cloak as TLOT picks Markus up gently.

[Stevie] Takes a hold of TLOT's cloak-

[TLOT] Quietly, so as not to wake Markus- I'll see you all later, good night. - tps away with Stevie and Steve

[Lie] - Hopefully Notch won't be out of it too long...

[Doc] I think he just needs to rest. Who's a good little dragon?

[Yaunfen] Opens and closes hir mouth-

[Doc] You want another gem? - Xe pulls out one of the candy diamonds and offers it- Oh Dawn? Do you mind if I copy those stones you used?

[Dawn] pulls them out with a curious expression - Copy?

[Yaunfen] Latches onto the candy gem-

[Doc] Does some clicking with hir free hand and stows the copies -Yes, I was thinking I might try some experiments with them myself.

[Dawn] Her gaze goes to Lie- Maybe I could give you a head start Doctor...

[Lie] - I don't like that look...

[CP] - Increasing her sex drive some?  Yes please

[Lie] - CP!

[Dawn] It's okay, this won't hurt a bit. I presume you're not an ace, so  it won't be anything unnatural- she walks over to Lie and makes a spinning gesture in the air over her privates. The rush of power is cold and penetrating, leaving a pleasant tingling in several sensitive areas.

[Lie] Whines-

[CP] - I wonder what will be stronger, her natural reluctance, or this new drive...

[Lie] - CP you are not helping!

[Dawn] I have something for you too Cp, to balance it out. - She takes out the little green crystal and does a motion over Cp's chest as if using it as a handle to crank something up. - Your heart chakra is too tight. It's not good to have such a small spiral. Try to be more open to love.

[CP] Stiffens- STOP THAT!

-Both Lie and CP's redstone hearts glow visibly-

[Dawn] Awww, that's sweet. There's more to a relationship then physical stuff. You have to work on the emotional bonds too. You guys make a cute couple when you're both obviously happy.

[Lie] Blushes-

[CP] - Fuck off!

[Deer] Giggles a little- It's been a long road with those two

[Dawn] Uses his irritation as a distraction to connect his hand with Lies.

[Doc] All the sweeter for the rewards at the end.

[CP] Moves so he's in front of Lie, feeling protective as he disengages from the physical contact with her-

[Dawn] Retreats to her own mate and Mort gives her a soft kiss on the neck from behind.

[Mort] Easy big guy. We're just trying to help.

[CP] - Fuck off

[Flux] Leans against the wall a little-

[Doc] Come on Flux, it's okay to sit down now, you don't have to hover.

[Flux] - I think it will take me some time to get used to this...

[Dawn] Gets a slightly mischevious look - I forgot there's one more adjustment that needs to be made-

[Doc] Really?

[Flux] - Adjustment?

[Dawn] Turns quickly and makes a quick opening gesture over Doc's forehead before flicking them harshly between the eyes-

[Doc] OW!

[Doc] What the fuck?! - Suddenly seems really agitatated-

[CP] Snorts in amusement-

[Dawn] That won't last but it will teach you what to look for, honestly-

[Doc] Holy crap- They're staring at Yaunfen in wonder- I think I'm freaking hallucinating!

[Mort] It's not that bad-

[Doc] Looks at Deerheart instead and stares in utter shock -

[Yaunfen] Tilts head curiously-

[Deer] - Doc?  Is everything okay?

[Doc] I can.... I can see it... It's like you're the center of a spiderweb... but the threads are all different colors leading off in every direction and passing through everything around you...

[Deer] Smiles a little-

[Mort] You said she's some kind of digital goddess, that sorta makes sense.

[Dawn] You have a very interesting aura. And I'm guessing Doc has never seen one before.

[Doc] No... It's so pretty... I wonder if I can... - Xe strts fiddling with something and there's the sound of faint keystrikes

[CP] Yawns- Yeah yeah, fucking amazing, yadda yadda yadda

[Doc] Is looking in every direction now, xe's snapping screenshots and wedding them to individual sheets of paper. The pictures are smeared with rainbows of color. Lie is surrounded by a bubble of white and green with the shapes of glassy leaves all over it, but she's also clipped into the ball of fire that surrounds Cp.

-Mort also seems to be in flames but they're an unnatural lime green, and Dawn is barely visible beneath swirls of black, blue and purple.

[jewel] -looks over at the picture doc took of her its has a bubble black with many cracks and cuts that seem to run deep and blood dripping from the top-

[Doc] yours is also pretty extensive Flux, I see lots of purple but it's more like mist then strings.

[Flux] - That makes sense since I can pretty much turn into mist...

[Doc] I'll probably go blind, but you should call for Splender...
