Floyd: *hands Toryn a rock* Rock.

Toryn: Uh, yeah? I see that.

Floyd: Rock *walks away*

—

Jade: Toryn, I have a gift for you.

Toryn: Really? Epic. What is it?

Jade *hands Toryn a rock* A rock.

Toryn: A rock?

Jade: A rock. *leaves*

—

Vil: Toryn, please tell me why you have so many rocks…

Toryn: I’d like that answer myself. I’ve been given like twenty.

Vil: I- *sighs* Why is this exactly something you’d do? You can say no.

Toryn: Isn’t that a bit…

Vil: Say no.

Toryn: Okay, okay…

—

Azul: Would you stop taking the rocks from the lounge’s aquariums?!

Jade: But we’re trying to help out dear brother.

Azul: How is taking a bunch of rocks helping Toryn?

Floyd: Either he says no, which is good, or he ends up with a bunch of random rocks, which is hilarious.

Azul: You two are insufferable.

Thus is the way of the Leech family.

They're giving out rocks in these trying times.

(I hope the broken truth is ok with me messing with one of their characters, sorry if not.)

With how lucky Jayden is, I wonder what would happen if he was put with Toryn, who also has insane luck.

Jamil has seen Jayden’s luck enough to put him in a protective bubble.

Vil has seen Toryn’s luck enough to test how far it goes. (Win about 40% of the time just using Toryn’s name and Toryn himself wins anywhere from 60-70% of the time.)

You put them together and it is such a heart attack for everyone else. So many winnings are coming through. They are just a magnet for winnings, but neither of them know what’s going on and are too chill about it in Jamil and Vil’s opinions.

Idia and Azul are screaming.

Toryn silently walks up behind Vil who was talking to Rook and stands behind him, trying to hide himself. Of course, it didn’t work well with Toryn being ever so slightly taller than Vil and his noticeable turquoise hair and cane, but he was trying.

Rook: Oh, bonjour Monsieur Hidden.

Vil: Can I help you, Toryn?

Toryn: My brothers… Hide me, please.

Vil: *sighs* What are they doing now?

Toryn: Just dragging me around, literally.

Vil: How about, and trust me when I say this, you say no? Or fight back?

Toryn: But I can’t do that…

Vil: Toryn…

Rook: I can always hide you where they will never find you unless you wish.

Vil: Rook, no.

Toryn: Yes, please.

Vil: Toryn, no! Just tell them no! That’s exactly why they’re doing this!

Toryn: … *looks at Vil with a kicked puppy expression*

Vil: I swear to the Seven…

He can't say no, Vil, especially to his brothers.

(I’m really bad at dates, so these have some minor edits from the dates I said before. Like getting 11 months instead of 9 with Dusk and leaving off the exact number of days for Toryn and Dekker.)

—

Malleus: Dusk, I do not think this is a good idea. I’m not fond of Trappola and Felmire messing with Sebek either, but you cannot just punch them for revenge.

Dusk: I’m five years older than you. I know more. I know this can only go my way.

Malleus: Correction, four years and nine months.

Dusk: Correction to your correction, four years, nine months, and twenty days. That’s close enough to five years.

Malleus: It’s not though, is it?

Dusk: Do you want to fight?

Malleus: You can try.

—

I’m not writing a scene Kit, but fun fact Gidel in this au was born the same year Kit disappeared.

Fun for Fellow’s mental health, that fact is.

—

Toryn: *trapped in a headlock by Floyd* You win! You win! Let me go, please!?

Floyd: Aww, come on! We need to make up for lost time! We spent so long without you!

Jade: That is true. We did come right after you and hatch early, likely just to mess with you as soon as possible. Sadly our toy disappeared only a few months later.

Toryn: So you got time with baby me! Dudes, I’ve gotta be somewhere!

Floyd: But it wasn’t enough! We came early just to mess with you and now we gotta make time up!

—

Cater: *home with Dekker over winter break* I got this handled, promise!

Dekker: Why can’t I do it myself?

Cater: Because I’m your older brother and want to help out.

Dekker: Only older by *thinks to himself before looking confused at their mom, who is in the same room*

Mom: Yes, eight months and twenty six days. Early pregnancy then and early birth. You just really wanted to be with Cater, I guess.

Cater: Aww, see! Now let me be your older brother and help you.

—

(What is Cater trying to do? who knows!)

(I couldn’t think on what to write for the twins and the Clovers wouldn’t have had much either, so sorry they aren’t here.)

Sibling shenanigans~

(Alright. This should be the last in my little series. Unless I come up with more ideas which is likely. I like writing angst. Hope it’s fun to read!)

Blame. A funny word. An unfunny concept. Who gets it? How does one know? Usually, everyone has their own concept of blame, especially those who were hurt.

What if those who were hurt blame themselves? Say all the hurt is their fault?

That might differ.

—

Dusk stood in the middle of his trashed room. Objects were thrown from here to there. Papers and fabrics were ripped. Even the mattress was off his bed. He did all of this in no time. He did all of this because he’s a monster who can’t control his anger. He snaps at anyone who gets too close, and before he knows what he’s doing, something is broken or something is hurt. All of this because he can’t forgive a grieving man or let himself understand how his mere existence harmed the brothers he loves beyond his comprehension.

Why is Dusk like this? Why can’t he stop himself? Why can’t he make up for causing so many problems?

—

Domino turned off all of the lights in his room and found the darkest corner to cry in. He shouldn’t even be allowed to cry. He had everything handed to him, and in having that, he ripped it away from so many others. He bounce from his biological family that gave him pure love, to his adoptive family who loved him as well but had practically infinite money. And the second he lost his adoptive parents, he was thrust back to his biological family, as if he should have everything.

Meanwhile people were struggling. His biological family was struggling while he loved a comfortable life. People were in need while Domino got to inherit money just because he was lucky enough to be adopted.

Why can’t Domino stop causing pain for others? He should suffer for once too. He shouldn’t be allowed to cry.

—

Canis hid under his blanket and he clung to his stuffed animal. Everything in his life had become scary. He didn’t know what people were doing or why. He only knew people who looked at him seemed worried and sad.

Why were they sad? Did he do something? What did he do wrong? He’ll apologize! He’s sorry!

Canis even made sure to pick up all his toys and put them away, even if he almost cried touching some of them. Especially the ones Papi gave him. He could only see Papi getting mad at Birdie and having to be forced away from him.

Why was Papi mad? Was it because of him too? He’s sorry! Canis is sorry!

—

Kit drug herself out of bed, opened her drawer, and fished out those stupid drawings. She started to cry again, ruining the paper with even more teardrops. Teardrops that she should probably be shedding more of based on the pain she’s been causing.

She was given all all Fellow could get while he took care of her despite being a child himself. He even starved some nights on the street so she could eat enough. She then fell sick and he alone had to scrounge up money and food. Even worse she disappeared, and in doing so, left their stuff unattended to be robbed and Fellow unattended to be pushed down a horrible path.

Now she’s back and they accept her as if nothing has changed. She hasn’t been her for ten years. She hasn’t been here to help her elder brother at all. She hasn’t been here to see any of Gidel’s life or what he shares with Fellow.

She just takes from everyone and leaves them to suffer. She’s absolutely horrible.

—

Toryn sits on his bed, just letting his mind wander as he feels he feels disconnected from everything. He is an outsider in all sense of the word. He was shoved into a world he had no business being in, only to be given the grace of kind souls who called themselves his family. A family he didn’t deserve. Yet he was still an outsider, needing to still be underwater and seeing their world through a pane of glass.

Now he’s back in the world he was originally from. Yet a world he wasn’t in for seventeen years. He might be able to be with others but he can’t interact. No one wants a sharp fanged and clawed being to suddenly insert themselves into your life. People her just think he’s dangerous, though he never wants to hurt anyone. He’s shoved away.

Staying in any place would just be Toryn shoving himself down someone’s throat. It already hurts to do that. He shouldn’t impose more than the cruelty him existing is already doing.

—

Blame. A thought often misplaced by those who have been hurt.

Lilia doesn't hesitate to comfort Dusk, even if his son pushes him away, he'll still be there for him. It's the least he can do to make up for everything's he's done.

Deuce isn't the brightest, but he'll always be there for his brother. He doesn't want him going into a dark place with him around, Deuce can't lose him again.

Vargas wastes no time in scooping up Canis and holding his son close to him. He soothes his cry and hums as he rocks the wolf cub.

Gidel finds Kit and rushes off to grab Fellow, he drags the fox beastman to her to which he pushes them together and climbs in the middle of them. Gidel can't speak, but he's determined to keep his family together and comfort them as well.

Floyd's the one whose the most in touch with emotions. So once he spots Toryn sitting on his bed, he leaves to grab Jade. They return and wrap Toryn up in the tightest hug they can manage. They're not letting their brother go anytime soon.

Glimpses into the future (different amounts of time into the future)

Visiting Dusk

Malleus: *sitting on his throne alone in the room* Dusk, you’re not stealthy. At least not to me.

Dusk: *appears from around the corner* What? No hi to your big brother?

Malleus: You are always back around this time of year.

Dusk: *floats over to Malleus’ throne* And? Do I not deserve a hello because you know when you’ll see me?

Malleus: Hello, Dusk.

Dusk: Better. Now, do you know where Sil and Bek are? I want to say hi to them too.

Malleus: Probably training together.

Dusk: Ooo! You think I can join them?

Malleus: Not if you’re floating.

Dusk: *glares at Malleus* I feel fine thank you, very much. I got permission to float for short periods.

Malleus: How long has this “short period” been?

Dusk: *starts standing*

Malleus: Better.

Dusk: Do you want a fight?

Malleus: Try me.

Father Domino

Domino: *holding a sleeping infant while pacing*

Silver: *moves to hold Domino in a hug* She’s been asleep for a bit now.

Domino: I know, but she doesn’t wake up as much if I walk with her.

Silver: Yes, but you can’t stay up all night.

Domino: Hold on. Speaking of sleep, how are you up during such a late hour? Did a miracle happen?

Silver: No, the tragedy of being alone in bed. She’ll be fine.

Domino: If she wakes up, I’m getting you up to deal with it.

Silver: That’s fair.

—

Accepted Canis

Canis: Papi! *runs to hug Vargas while holding a letter in his hand*

Vargas: What is it, buddy?

Canis: Just read it!

Vargas: *takes and reads the NRC acceptance letter then goes to ruffle Canis’s hair* Look at that! You’re just a big shot now, aren’t you? But, look, I’m still the fitness teacher, and I will not go easy on you. I won’t let anyone else do the same either. Got it?

Canis: I got it, I got it. Name one time you ever went easy one me. Why would I expect that now?

Vargas: I guess you’re right, just don’t start getting a big head.

Canis: *laughs and sticks out his tongue* Too late.

Party Planner Kit

Kit: *sitting across from Kalim at a table while holding a few papers* Kalim, I refuse to let him come back!

Kalim: But he’s an important tie we need to keep.

Kit: I don’t care! He was rude to the Asim family ruler! I’m not letting that slide!

Kalim: We need to keep trade with him open for prosperities sake. I can handle a few curt words.

Kit: Absolutely not! He’ll take us for fools. We need to make an example out of this and cut ties. You did it before when someone insulted me and when someone insulted the Viper family.

Kalim: That was different-

Kit: It was in no way different! I will keep nagging you on this until you see sense!

Engaged Toryn

Toryn: *crying while looking at wedding options with Vil*

Vil: Toryn, dear, light of my life, you need to keep it together. Even for a few seconds. I can’t plan this alone.

Toryn: *nods but is still crying*

Vil: You’re the one who planned a whole day for a perfect proposal AND kept me from knowing about it. *sighs and hugs Toryn* What am I going to do with you, you big idiot?

Toryn: *mumbling into the hug* I cried then too…

Vil: I can guess.

Toryn: *looks at Vil, finally pausing crying* I love you so much.

Vil: *kisses the tip of Toryn’s nose* I love you just as much.

Toryn: *starts crying again*

Vil: Sevens give me strength… *continues to comfort poor Toryn*

—

Attention Hungry Dekker

Dekker: *rests his head on top of Azul’s head while Azul is sitting on the couch*

Azul: *pausing his work on checking the logs* Dekker, can I help you?

Dekker: No, why?

Azul: You seem to be mistaken my head for your headrest.

Dekker: Nah, I totally got the correct thing.

Azul: If you wanted attention, you could have just said something.

Dekker: Where’s the fun in that?

Azul: Not messing with your boyfriend? That sounds fun.

Dekker: Hypocrite. You mess with me all the time.

Azul: You do it first! Now, if you want attention, help me with the Lounge.

Dekker: *moving to sit next to Azul* Fine.

Entomologist Ruse

Ruse: *doing work in Riddle’s house* Riddle.

Riddle: Yes?

Ruse: You and I are going to see this museum exhibit once it opens. They want so many specimens and it is taking so much work. I am not letting them have an empty hall once it’s all done.

Riddle: When you work with a museum to put together an exhibit, it’s going to be a lot of work. Especially when living specimens are involved.

Ruse: They want so many species! We can’t just hand over the rare ones like that. Negotiating what’s available while getting information on endangered insect species out to the public is way too much.

Riddle: And your coworkers?

Ruse: Also swamped with work. You’re a lawyer, you know what it’s like to have everyone loaded with work.

Riddle: That is true.

Ruse: My point still stands. We are both going to see that exhibit.

LOOK AT ALL THESE GOOD ENDINGS!

Random Student: Why do you hang out with him?

Vil: With who?

Student: Toryn.

Vil: *immediately starts getting protective* Is there something wrong with me doing so?

Student: He’s just not beneficial to be around. He’s a driveless and weak pushover while you’re one of the most driven people there are.

Vil: Toryn is far from driveless and weak. He may struggle to say no, but that’s because he would do anything to make someone smile. He has his drives, but you can’t dig deep enough to see them. We might not match in how we act, but I would never want to pick a clone of me to be with over someone with their own perspectives on life. On top of that, I don’t hang out with Toryn because he’s “useful”, I hang out with him because I like him. If you pick your friends only by how you can use them, I pity you.

Student: …

Toryn: *walks over* Sup, Vil.

Vil: Hello, Toryn. Did you want something?

Toryn: Oh, I was just wantin to know if you wanted to walk a bit with me around campus. Nothin big.

Vil: I’d be happy too. *starts walking away with Toryn*

Toryn: *whispers to Vil about the student* What was up with them?

Vil: *whispers back* I haven’t the slightest idea.

Rook: The fight of passion is surely magnificent, non?

Epel: I was trying not to watch!

PROTECTIVE VIL!

At some point, Dusk and Kit are going to grab and then chuck their Tsums. The Tsums have caused them way too much trouble. (They do the same for others? Nah, what are you talking about?)

Also, Toryn and Domino would love to help their Tsums but they just end up bullied too. Tsum Dusk and Tsum Kit are ruthless.

Tsum Dusk gets thrown but it just comes back like a boomerang. Everyone learns that Tsum Dusk can no longer be thrown. And Tsum Kit disappears and reappears to cause problems.

Tsum Toryn and Tsum Domino are on the "Be nice to us, we will cry"

[return-to-twisted-wonderland]

🔆anon

The Tsum version of Domino and Toryn are to easy to pick on for the Tsum versions of Dusk and Kit, just like the human versions of them would be if they were all in the same world.

Domino doesn’t understand what’s going on with people most of the time and Toryn doesn’t stand up for himself. Kit and Dusk would definitely take notice of that.

And Canis just thinks they’re playing and wants to have fun too.

Boys pls, your Tsums are suffering.

Floyd: *poking Tsum Toryn* Look at that! He doesn’t do anything about this, just like the real one. Practically a sea slug.

Jade: *also poking it* It also looks identical to him, down to the hairband he always wears.

Floyd: You think we can toss it around?

Toryn: Nah, don’t do that. It probably won’t like that.

Floyd: Can I toss you then?

Toryn: Uhh… I guess?

Azul: *to Floyd* Don’t toss Toryn around. *to Toryn* Toryn, you just said no to them tossing the Tsum. Do the same for yourself.

Toryn: *looks at Floyd* …No?

Azul: Toryn.

Jade: Toryn saying no once in defense of the Tsum was probably too much. *looks at Azul* He already let you get away with using it as a mascot.

Azul: That was just using its cuteness. It’s not like anyone did anything to it other than look.

Grim: Nah! Toryn should have definitely said no! That’s my job!

Toryn and Tsum: ._.

The mild bullying of Toryn and his Tsum.

With Grim becoming a mascot for Monstro Lounge in Toryn’s world, I imagine him dressed in a mini Octavinelle uniform.

Grim in that world is payed in tuna and nap time. Also Toryn likes to sometimes just put his hat over Grim, to see it practically cover him.

Grim finally gets paid in tuna.

At Equestrian Club

Silver: *At the stalls with Riddle and looks outside to see Toryn* Is that one of the Leech siblings?

Riddle: *looks around* Where?!

Silver: *points at Toryn*

Riddle: Oh. That’s the oldest brother, Toryn, of if I remember correctly.

Silver: What is he doing here?

Riddle: I don’t know, but I can find out. You can continue what you were doing. *walks up to Toryn* Hello, how can I help you?

Toryn: Oh, sup? The headmaster said that I should start finding a club.

Riddle: You haven’t been in one? All students are required to be in a club, aren’t you late?

Toryn: Yeah, totally am. I just had trouble walking for a bit, so was doing classes from the dorm and was excused from the club, but since I can walk and do stuff on my own now, I was told I should start doing more normal student stuff.

Riddle: And I’m guessing you’re looking at different clubs right now.

Toryn: Totally. It’s completely fine if you all have stuff going on and I can’t join, I get I’m pretty late. I just think that’s cool. *nods to some club members doing riding drills*

Riddle: No, I can definitely show you around to see if you would like to join. Silver is by the stalls, we can both allow you to meet some of the horses while I grab mine to show you a bit more of what riding looks like.

Toryn: Epic.

Toryn is given the same show that Sebek got in Riddles Ceremonial Robes Vignette. Anyways, Toryn decides he likes horse riding, and joins the club. Achievement get.

Riddle in immediate fight or flight mode at the mere mention of the name Leech.

Toryn: What’s that? *points to a stand in the mall*

Vil: That’s a prize raffle. There are small balls inside there, but a few of them have prizes. By the looks of it, it’s a well respected brand that I’ve worked with a few times who’s running it.

Toryn: Sounds awesome. Mind if I have a go? *already walking over*

Vil: *following behind* I don’t see why not. We are already ahead of schedule. Just don’t be too disappointed if you don’t get any-

Raffle worker: Congratulations! That’s the first place prize, five years of supply for some of our most popular items!

Toryn: Epic.

Vil: *stares at Toryn* You already have natural beauty. Why do you need natural luck too?

(Is Vil biased? Maybe, he does like Toryn, but Toryn does have that natural clear skin his brothers have too.)

Vil, watch your back or Idia's gonna steal Toryn for his luck.

Toryn: *Silently drawing*

Ortho: *notices what him and walks up* Hello! If you don’t mind the question, what are you drawing?

Toryn: *looks up* Oh, sup grom? This is just a random sketch for a character I saw in an ad.

Ortho: Grom? Also, this character is from my brother’s biggest obsession right now! You drew it really well!

Toryn: It means kid. And epic that a fan likes my drawing, I’d be happy to draw something else or something.

Ortho: Maybe I can show you the game too. Then you could play with my big brother!

Toryn: Sure, sounds like a cool ride.

Ortho: Do you have a computer to get it on? If not, there’s a phone port, which might be a bit clunky, but can still play fine.

Toryn: Don’t got a computer, no, *opens his phone* but I can get the app. Just tell me the name.

(The next day)

Ortho: *walks up to Toryn* Hello again! Did you play the game?

Toryn: Oh, hey grom! And yeah, I got some hours in. Here let me show ya. *pulls open the game and hands it over to Ortho*

Ortho: How did you get this loot so quickly?! These are like the best drops from the enemies you can encounter early game!

Toryn: Oh, it is? Epic. Maybe that’s why I was cruising through.

Ortho: I’m sending my big brother a friend request from your account. You need to play with him if your account is this lucky.

Toryn: Sure?

Rook: Mon cherie Toryn, your relationship with Roi des Posion is merveilleux. Your calm sea water washing against his steadfast shore, it brings a tear to my eye.

Vil: Rook…

Toryn: Nah, it’s just the light of the sun, burning so bright and full of life, reflecting on the moon giving it life.

Rook: Mon dieu.

Vil: While I appreciate your praises, *turns to Toryn and lightly pulls his cheek* I do not need two Rooks.

Elsewhere

Epel: *shivers* Why do I get a bad feeling?

Toryn loves art in all forms and is good at it. He might not be a poet like Rook, he can definitely hold his own. Prompt him and he will have a go too.

Gotta pray for Vil and Epel at this rate.

Toryn: *gets handed a magestone* Sup with the gem?

Jade: It’s a magestone. It will absorb your blot when you use magic.

Toryn: Blot? Speak my language here.

Floyd: When you use magic your body makes black goop called blot. It makes you feel all icky and too much of it is dangerous.

Toryn: THAT’S why I felt like that?

Floyd: We’re you using magic without a magestone?

Toryn: I’m not a benny, dude. You think anyone had a clue what I was, same with magic?

Floyd: A what?

Toryn: I’m not from here. I just used magic and felt awful for a bit.

Jade: How could you use your magic with no one who knew about it?

Toryn: Self taught. Just got the just of it by doing it.

Forgive him, he's trying him hardest.
