Life of a Reaper Ch7: looking for a Strategy
4 months ago
the next day
starting off the scene we have snowy sleeping in her bed
( like I said its not like I wanted to , how am I suppose to discipline a infant) Kathy" well thats why yu have me here~ " ( Ka ka be be No ka! Nahhh! hearing the effects ofa spray bottle go off snowy quickly responded to the commotion lifting her head up, seeing rouge kathy , and evven knuckles centered in the hallway and kitchen
Kathy" I know you don't want to hurt ruby because of yube's behavior but that doesn't mean you have to let her use that as blackmail" Knuckles" I'm still getting over the fact a baby has leverage over the mother :/ crossing his arms Rouge" you can't say it was my faught for this outcome " Kathy" well at least right now its fairly easy to handle her and I do hope; no seriously by chaos's mercy I hope, this will only be a phase and yube and ruby will be well... one in the same and managable and not mirror someone else > >; " Knuckles" coughs " Rouge" no need to beat around the bush sweetie we're all thinking of the certain cannibal that lives rent free in our minds " Kathy" well at least shes better shes not the same as before " Rouge" is there such a thing asa "better version of a cannibal ?" " Kathy" well...nghhh.. moving on >< now yube your going to start behaving and listening to rouge and mo more being a riotous little monster towards velvet , and I can't believe I'm aruging with a baby that's not even a year old = = Yube" Grrrr...Ka! Ahh* kathy pecks her on the nose with a her fingers like a chicken would peck a hen* Kathy" no! " Yube" Kaha ba ba- (peck) Naha! (peck) Grrr...! bites kathy's arm " Kathy" okay time out bubble it is..! puts her in the bubble, yube was clawing away at the bubble to get out while still hissing at kathy
Kathy" you want out you will behave and listen" Yube" Grrr... kathy held the bottle to her face ...." Kathy" finally... " Rouge" she would often change back to ruby if I woudl start becoming cross with her" Kathy" well that won't work with me " Knuckles" actually come to think of it kathy I've rarely had to see you be strict with a child at least this early in age" Kathy" because babies are just that, babies and not aliens that are already aware of there enviorment or want to use there mother to steal XP " Khalon" its almost like she know who she was before she was born" Rouge" please don't start with that, I still remember nightmares during my pregnancy = = I fear that might have been the case" Khalon" well its good comic material. not that I'd write that kind of stuff > >; " Kathy" khalon please" Knuckles" come on khalon lets leave kathy to her parenting lessons knuckles and khalo nheaded outside meanwhile pusheen made his way inside jumping on the couch
Pusheen" -w- ...." Rouge" for what its worth kathy I am.. sorry for the events last night, I had faith in my own abilities things would go smoothly and not turn into the commotion it did " Kathy" look I know you didn't mean any real harm and you wanted to help velvet and midnight too, but getting blackmailed by the baby is ..in all honesty something I never could imagine thats like the twins threatening to kill the pets unless I stop feeding them there veggies xD " Rouge" don't give them ideas she chuckled Kathy" ahhh they know better~ anyway yawning Rouge" you seem like you could use some rest yourself" Kathy" I won't lie I have been a little busy for many reasons and I wanted to bring something to your attention before the baby situation took over" Rouge" that is?" Kathy" I'm going ot havea bit ofa musical preformed for everyone its sort of a birthday gift to myself and I'm workign on casting and the music and I wanted you to in the play" Rouge" ....*chuckles softly* daring thats.. that incredibly sweet of you but I know you have a soft spot for me but I don't think I have that voice of a singer nor have I ever tried " Kathy" I know ,you have that smokers voice which to me is under appreciated but I have moments that would fit and you will be doing some practice sessions wiht me and alicia " Rouge" there no getting out of this is there " Kathy" nope~ ^w^ " Rouge" sigh well I'll give it my best that s all I can promise" kathy" and that's all you need my dear"
( kathy! Kathy!) suddenly from outside to the door way silver came running into the door
Silver" Kathy! I'm so glad your here I need your help DX" Rouge" darling take a number TwT having her hand on her hip dismissively Silver" this is serious! its magnika" Kathy" something happened!? and I didn't know about it!? " Silver" this might be something only you can do after all you know her better then me , at least for this > >" Rouge" I thought you were her boy friend" Silver" I know! but this is something special" Kathy" alright alright just explain on the way, teleports note to rouge , can you fee d the cats fro me love I'll be back in a minute ~ if you need help ask snowy assh teleported away with silver
Rouge" scanning the note with all the names and dishes for each cat with pusheen and purrgly at the top and the food labeled for each one ask snowy , I can't read minds like you- can o o;; asshe lowered the note suddenly all the cats in the room were staring at her at the same time with snowly just watching from the back
Snowy" ( yeah they can get a little antsy when there not fed on time) " Rouge" um... alright everyone who wants to be fed first um.. coco? ( RWeeoowwww!) suddenly like a symphony they all started meowing at her feet as some where climbing up her legs Ahhh hey hey stop it ow ow ow ! watch the merchandise! as she was getting backed into the corner in the kitchen, eaching into the cabinet she grabbed a bag of pre-made food with names on them but asshe reached for them suddenly in the cabinet itself was pusheen
Rouge" what the!? you were jsut on the couch ( Glomp!) Hmhmhhmmm! pusheen glomps her face Pusheen" Pffbbhhh!" Rouge " Mhhmphm hmhphmhm Mhmmaaa! ( Get off get offf! Ahhhh) she ended up falling on the floor with the food as all the cats swarmed her as she reached up help...me..."
at that moment kiara came from upstairs
Kiara" why does it smell like catfood? ..WHAT THE?! seeing the scene in front of her (Whistles!!) ALL OF YOU STOP! GET OFF! NOW! BACK BACK! clapping her hands making all of the cats run away while pusheen was still on rouges face she picked him of and tossed him on the couch* you little ring leader! (Whoosh) rouge?!" Rouge" her hair, fur and clothes were all matted and covered in cat hair ...this is why.. I'm not a pet person... Pifft! " Kiara" mom is a special case don't condemn them all cause she likes to have 20 , and thats not counting the ones outside "
meanwhile
turningto magnika's home in mobius
Kathy" so shes stressing out because of the finals?" Silver" yes, we're one week away from the finals , the team has been playing great , she wanted to surprise you with the news but her last teams opponents are.. well no joke, the Limit breakers " Kathy" nice name, can you break it down for someone who doesn't keep up with hover ball? Silver" there a major league team, one of magnika's favorites she likes to watch as well , so not only is she going against her idols there a step between her team and the championship , I've told her not to swear it, there team decided to do some individual training and will work on team strates later in the week, she was fine a few days ago then all of a suddenly the stress just started ot eat her alive she hasn't eaten in two days DX "
entering the house heartha was the first to greet them Hearthe" oh kathy its nice to see you, Kathy" how is magnika ;w; " Hearthe" > >... shes shes had better days " Silver" I know oyour probably upset I can't help but but I've done everything I know, but maybe there is something you know will help her get out of this anxiety spiral she jsut needs stop worrying about the game she can do this I know she can" Kathy" ....*sigh* maybe she needs a break from everything at least a day , how often did she practice" Hearthe" if she wasn't playing for her team she was practicing or sleeping not much else" Kathy" ...*sigh* burnout ...I knew it would happen DX she did this to herself once before " Herthe" o o! your right that was your schools hover ball game she kind of wanted to show off and went alittle over board even though it was just a charity game"
as kathy went up to her room
Kathy" maggie?....magnika its me kathy~.. as she walked into her room she ended up stepping on crossed out papers on the floor, each paper had crossed out game plans she discarded while on the bed magnika was hugging a pillow rocking back and forth mumbling
Magnika" they know what I'm going to do, every plan I make they wil lseei t coming how wil lI know the move to make, the right play. verses the wrong play. one thing changes everything... if I make a mistake it will cause the team but I can't sit this out I have ot watch.. watchign watching there forever watching I'm not good enough for this..(Magnika!) where can the plans maybe if I combine two into one but which one..( magnika! ).. two game plans but 5 ,, yes 5 five should work you can't win if I use everything! (MAGNIKA!) !?!? turning her head towards kathy with tired eyes ...aunt elisa! you can came to give your support , kathy told you about the game XD its been a while since I've seen you and leo " Kathy"... elisa.... magnika its me! kathy! DX and I'm not that old! " Magnika" kathy... ohh kathy hi, nice to see you I wasn't expecting to see you so late in the day" Kathy" its a 9 o clock in the morning" Magnika" huh... thats something anyway I need get back to finding a good game plan for the team" grabbing one of the random sheets on the bed Kathy" I think...! you need to give you self a break... taking the papers Magnika" kathy were one game away from making history for the team for our city ;w; this is big! super big! Kathy" yes I understand but right now look at you, you haven't slept or eaten and you need to refresh yourself if you want to play at your best " Magnika" I know but the plan which plan wil lmake the play" Kathy" okay how about this I have a great idea ^w^ its as simple as one ,two .. three ( snap) snapping her fingers kathy cast chaos energy over her making her fall asleep
Kathy" sigh... I can't believe she said I looked like my mom.. " Silver" how is she?" Kathy" for now sleeping, and I know how to deal with her like this, but shes need to be taken away from everything to get her mind to relax, so when she wakes up I'll be taking her on a little getaway " Silver" or I could take her, you've always helped her out kathy " Kathy" well ... okay it will be a bit of a trio trip for all of us, but for now let her sleep and I'll be back soon okay" Silver" nods and thanks again " Kathy" no problem~ (Vosh) Heartha " can I finally clean this room now before it comes a health hazard? " Silver" at least moving her to the guest bed will be easier "
back at kathy's house kiara helped clean up the messes and the cats were all fed as instructed with each one at there own dish mean while rouge was sitting on the couch with ruby inside the bubble still, as if it was a hamster ball, yube was not present however it was only ruby this time as rouge held her in her lap
Kiara" hey um sorry about the cats they can be a little overbearing sometimes" Rouge" that's okay dear, I've just been having other things on my mind , and your mother has been trying to be helpful " Kiara" I tried doing some research on black arms myself , I got alittle curious hearing all the stories from velvet and well, it turns out ruby isn't a special case, even though its all speculation but BA- newborns have a sepreate consciousness that functions when the main one is either asleep or too tired to remain present, its as if the bodies nervous system has a defense mode of its own as the child grows eventually the two will become one " Rouge" fascinating... but can it develop personalities? Kiara" that I'm not sure there wasn't alot of data to go off of, shadow it probably the best example and most recent you can get " Rouge" lovely.. she sighed "
( Vosh!) suddenly kathy teleported back into the room
Kathy" sigh okay she'll be out for a bit, now I can- ahh! rouge what happened to you! your look a mess" Rouge" your cats decided to ambush me and dog pile on me like a zombie movie scene
T T" Kiara" I helped her clean up and get them all taken care of don't worry " Kathy" thank you kiara I'll handle things from here as kathy used her energy and cleaned rouge up fixing her hair and makeup and dusting off the loose pieces of cat hair I see yube has finally decided to take a nap " Rouge" mhm.. your daughter says its not split personality but a defense system the arms race seem to have " Kathy" oh well that s interesting* as she sat down next to her* are you okay?" Rouge " I failed a easy heist, put my child at risk, getting my friend to save my hide and my own baby makes a mockery of me, what do you think? " Kathy" well look the heist thing was unpredictable you couldn't have foreseen all that nonsense, second yube is something special, and a bit of a unknown but at least look at ruby right now you can tell she loves you, its just getting that other side to learn little respect that's all ^^ " Rouge" respect... given my history, thats the last word you would associate with me " Kathy" rouge, come on don't say that.. " Rouge" be honest kathy.. I'm..I'm not a mother... I shouldn't be a parent " Kathy" don't say that, you've raised midnight fairly well yuo " Rouge" midnight was already a teen whe nwe found him , I sort of became his adopted mother only because they used my DNA and shadows when that women created him, the hard part was done, I was there late in the game , I can't claim anything and here I am with a new born of my own and I just..* holding her hands over face as tears ran down her cheek* .... now I'm put on some kind of punishment because I can't be trusted... my own baby, mine, she cried softly I'm sorry ruby,, I'm so sorry , " Kathy".........* removing the bubble* letting ruby sit on her lap, ruby climbed up to rouge putting he hand on her face* o o" Rouge" o o " Ruby" nuzzles into her ahhh xD" Kathy" you know rouge, for all the spills I give , for all the joke made about me , taking kids, cause I love them so much, worrying about them. even offering to be a second mother, at the end of the day, I would never try to keep a child apart from there parent especially if the child themselves want there mother. sometimes we all need alittle help and I only step in if there is danger but there are times we make mistakes we do it all the time we're not perfect. I'm far from it " Rouge" are you sure about that"
Kathy" look I've had my screw ups knuckles has chewed my ass out more then once, I would over work myself can nearly get myself killed, leaving him alone with only kiara how could he tell that to her when she hatched, " oh your mother was too much of a giver and she killed herself giving too much" " Rouge" heh... that is if he was tell her the truth" Kathy" she would find our eventually xD but my point is that was a horrible move on my part trying to be everything for everyone, thats why I have the collar , and why I'm limiting my help to close friends , or if I pass by someone in need > >" Rouge" hmph lucky me then I suppose " Kathy" so please don't think of yourself as a baby mother, your just learning and be glad your with friends that will help you learn and be the best I know you can be ^w^ " Rouge" ..* wiping her tears away* thank you kathy that.. that means alot and even how I spat in my parents face for all they've done" Kathy " you were a dumb child but you got better " Rouge" hey!" Kathy" I'm just calling it like it is~ rouge punches her shoulder letting out a small laugh
suddenly purrgy walked up to rouge Purrgly : T^T Rouge" a cat with eye liner that's new for you" Kathy" actually shes just like that~ suddenly she jumps on rouges lap quickly moving ruby out of the way of her leap (ooof!) suddenly it looked like a beanbag was sitting on her lap
Kathy" I kind of heard you weren't a pet person" Rouge" I had a feeling you'd hear that, " Kathy" everyone has a certain one for them ^w^ " Rouge" sure Ruby" ahh sitting on top of purrgly rube started to pull on her ears " Rouge" alright alright both of you off I'm not the couch cushion DX pushing the cat off her lap * Kathy "Eheh x3 I could a make joke but I won't xD " Rouge" ha ha so about this play you mentioned? Kathy" ahh yes well you'll be a back up singer for some sections and I got a few key story moments we can sort out f oyour feeling confident enough your performance " Rouge" one step at a time dear , I kno you like to go full throttle " Kathy" mmm sometimes~ " ( knock knock)
Ginger" I got it ashe opened the door hello? " answering the door it was honey Honey" oh.. sorry is this the wrong house?" Kathy" honey! XD" Honey" oh good I got worry for a second xD; I don't travel cross dimensions often " Kathy" oh no thats totally fine I'm glad your here hugs her tightly Honey" I heard you were in need of some outfits~ " Kathy" yes~ and I hope breezie has been treating you well?" Honey" >w>; it pays for my profession and I'll just leave it at that" Kathy" well guess what, you work for me now sweetie <3 " Honey" ehh o o I can't just quit she has me under contract DX " Kathy" yes well they have one loophole the " kathy says so" clause , making her contract appear and writing something on it and teleports it away as if right now your my costume designer ~ " Honey" owo Nyan! XD I always wanted to make stage play costumes! "
meanwhile
breezie got her hands o nthe contact
" Shes mine now bitch, Kathy <3 " Breezie" that little bitch... "
a bit later on
Rouge" so magnika has been having burn out regarding her hoverball game " Kathy" yes, and she is about to run herself into the dirt literally, so I used alittle trick to make her fall asleep for a while, then once she wakes up . I'll take her out for some food and away for a little relaxation. " Rouge" you sure she won't fall back into her old mindset?" Kathy" I know magnika, and I know where to take her so she won't have that dilemma" Rouge" well if you say so~ but shouldn't silver her future husband be able to handle this?" Kathy" yes, but this is the one time I'll give him a pass, magnika has been doing well and hes been at her beck and call ever since, she never addressed him about having burnout , so its not really something hes familiar with, it would be similar if I was burnout with taking care of the kids, what could knuckles do for me at that point? something I rarely if ever show?" Rouge" well I suppose that is true >w> " Kathy" so with that in mind - - maggie has always been a fan of sea life~ aquariums and such" Rouge" really? " Kathy" mhm, I remember games when we were little, or at least when I was little her school games would leave her exhausted, she would go to the emerald lake and just take a noise dive in the water and do nothing, but drift for like an hour. say it was therapeutic in some ways. she chuckled it almost reminded me of the times my mother; my birth mother took me to these small gardens i the forest " Rouge" how sweet ^^ " Kathy" mhm, so taking her to the sol kingdom for a bit will be just the thing to get her away perfectly~"
Rouge" well speaking of getting sleep I think I've well overdue for it, I'm ran all night and day nearly at this point, I think I'm over due myself" Kathy" mhm and now that we know what to do with the children we won't have this again " Rouge" I promise, " Yube" grrr kia no baba.. rouge holds up the spray bottle Rouge" TwT ....." Yube" sigh...ick.... " Rouge" thats a good girl ~ Kathy" claps yay w^ so she'll be back home by tomorrow, you can get at least some sleep " Rouge" heh thank you daar and as for your theater event" Kathy" I'll call you wen I need you~ Rouge" notes as kathy teleported her home* now as for you staring at yube I believe its time for someone to take a nap " Yube" turning away from her as she curled up Kathy" you'll leanI can be your friend or your problem , take your pick* softly turning her around* I don't like being mean its not me, but if your force me I will, so can we be friends? please Yube".... slowly she transformed back into rube as the eyes faded away , and ruby opened her natural eyes Kathy" I'll take that as a yes taking ruby from the bubble hi~ your gonna havea day with me okay? ^w^ so why don't we let you get familiar with the twins~ as she placed her down in the playpen " l oh brother... ughh... as sky let out a heavy sigh falling on the couch herself*
Ginger" finally reached your limit?" Kathy" I was fine, with the midnight outing , then the trouble with magnika then honey coming in , and thank you again for giving her the list of costumes cause I couldn't not think straight I was mentally balancing alot already DX" Ginger" its no problem, but uhh seriously have you considering having some help? as ginger made her some tea
Kathy" you and the other kids help out enough , I'll be fine as long I can catch my breathe * she smiled softly* inhaling the aroma of the hot tea ohh the hot lemon raspberry is always nice~ " Ginger " not exactly help from us, I mean maybe... others that can do exactly what you can do just not as strong, or... snaps his fingers junior versions of kiara does that make sense? "
Kathy" like what? other people that think like me I can trust? ot do everything I do?" Ginger" or at least cover some of the basics you need your powers for , hell you could even hire someone, you got the funds for sure " Kathy" scratching her head well... it not like I couldn't but...." Ginger" if were gonna be moving into a castle eventually your gonna want servants and they all cant just be variations of you , otherwise you'll be a old fossil before kyle and kathlyen hit middle school "
Kathy" alright I get your point >< and never say that again or your on litter box duty for a whole week " Ginger" I just don't want to you burn out like your sister is right now , I've even had burnouts myself there not fun " Kathy" I know... and thank you but as for others taking over for me, valissa is probably the closet I would say is someone who knows me well enough to take over certain things, and she would be a big help so perhaps I can hire her as a helper > > " Ginger" perfect that's already one , the kids are always looking for odd jobs for money , maybe some you can pay to watch the animals or the cat village " Kathy" I'll think about it, but right now valissa will be a big help but right now, I can take it easy, then go see magnika later, and then see about honey" Ginger" weren't you gonna see wildfire later?" Kathy" > >... I guess kiara can check on honey's work for me " Ginger" delegation is hard when your use to holding all the cards" Kathy" uhuh .. but then again I do over do it, maybe I should focus on whats important instead of everything at once" Ginger" that's good and right now you said you would relax " Kathy" at last for a minute"
Ginger" I think you need more then a minute ma picking up pusheen and putting him on her lap Kathy" eheh I suppose your right xD ( but maybe given everyone in the mothers club and ponytail club maybe I can start asking around for some assistance , it couldn't hurt )..."drinking her tea ~ -w- as snowy came and lied down at her feet "
online voice chat
Sonia" so nova I heard the mecha test flight went well " Nova" yes it is I love it , its amazing its... I don't know its beyond words whats it like to fly it" Ashley" sounds like you all have been pretty busy, désolée we have not been very active in the group - -" Nova" its alright ashley things have been all over the place for us too, even for my dad > > " Oliver" I think its safe to say kit has a crush on ashley now " Nova" aww~ " Ashley" well he is cute I cannot lie, and after that performance at the restaurant the boy has talent ^w^ " Data" speaking of talent mom has been working with kathy to put together this musical our parents are gonna be doing for her birthday" Sonia" yeah thats been the talk of the town the last few days , at first it was gonna be just for friends and family but slowly I think some outsiders are gonna come see " Nova" nghh... I hope not " Manic" why not it could be cool for everyone to come and see" Nova" its weird, I guess a musical based off of real events that took place ? Sonia" its not that over the top, plus you think kathy wil llet everyone judge it if they dislike it "
Nova" I don't know, maybe > >" Hinote" well one thing I would like comment on is the music, alicia is letting me work with her for the songs in the musical and I "really" really hope there good ;w; if they are I'll use them for my new single and if not well... back to the drawing board " Nova" they will be fine hinote don't worry, " Hinote" also oddly enough, sapphire is a closet history nerd and likes your dad's auto biography so this whole thing is up his ally , so expect us to be there on the day xD" Nova" that's interesting :/ " Manic" well it will be a something big for her birthday which isn't too far away, I think the werid part is the conflict between out parents , and even for sky and sonic, I remember they had alot of spats from what I know" Data" them try sonic and tails, that was the worst one or the three way love triangle XP with them and fiona Nova" I'm sure there not going to over everything, jsut some key points and maybe shouldn't take it too seriously " Data" it always feel kind of quiet when its jsut us doesn't it "
Nova" well the others had class today, but I'm gonna be helping niyako tonight , with combat training xD Manic" lucky I want to fly a giant robot " Nova" niyako has blueprints and plans for more so maybe soon manic you'll get your wish, he still wants to do that dinosaur one for surge , I don't know why hes hooked on that one > > " Ashley" it is a boy with his hobby x3 " ( nova, yeah? ...... okay I'm coming) Nova" sorry guys I have to go, fire practice signs off " Data" now that the pro is gone anyone want to play a few games?" Sonia" she usually carries " Data" we don't always have to play comp " Sonia" lets just try to keep it chill and kiara often makes it seem like money is on the line" Ashley" they are both very competitive, but it can be healthy for some" Manic" and rage inducing for others " Hinote" come on lets just have some fun , alicia is gonna pull me back any second "
changing scenes
we arrive at the school during lunch period , melantha was sitting by herself on bench in the training field , as other kids going by were also having there sparring sessions or outright jsut playing sports, opening her lunch box to the naked eye it looked likea bottle fruit punch, slices pf uncooked meat with small bag of chips
Melantha" hmm" Kiara" looks like I finally caught you alone " Melantha" o o o-oh kiara" Kira" hi "madeline" xD looks like our schedules finally crossed where we could sit and chat " Melantha" yeah lucky me she chuckled softly Kiara" so how is the school going for you?" Melantha" well the class isn't so bad, I've learned alot from hurricane , some of the kids find him disgusting but its par for the course if your going to learning about what makes the body work " Kiara" yeah some need to have a stomach for it, " Melantha" mhm what about for you?" Kiara" I got a exam on trinity crystals this week and its alittle annoying but I just hope I can pass it = =" Melantha" its the variety isn't" Kiara" no its which color, belongs to which region and which element spawns where, the colors also help determine what effects it will have and what its used for, and so on and so on and I'm bloody simplifying it DX Melantha" sounds like your got your hands full" Kiara" maybe, but you know my mom wants to be sure your alright too , she asks me did you see you at all and well its no fun being a loner on the school grounds " Melantha" I'm only here for classes no t much else, its alright if I kind of fade away, its not like others would accpet me anyway she said passive aggressively Kiara" why say that"
Melantha" its not hard to know why kiara, if people took one look at me they would run in terror, and it well.. it bothers me knowing that fact, and when I'm playing pretend your smiling and lying to my face , I know I sound petty but I couldn't tell you why it bothers me... " Kiara" no, no I get it I had some try to be buddy buddy with me only cause they know mom wil lbe the new principle evenetually so its like " hey I wonder if I can get in good graces with the headmaster" Melantha" and how does that turn out " Kiara" since I can read minds I shatter there hopes then there suddenly bitter and leave " Melantha" ahahaha sorry to leave you disappointed XD" Kiara" I know right! " suddenly her left hand started slapping her thigh passively ummm you okay?" Melantha" oh he does this when he wants to say something , so I check to make sure the coast is clear "
as melantha opened up herh and and you saw a mouth on the palm belonging to purge
Purge" she want s to appear as if she has no friends but there are some good people here, shes made friends with a penguin recently, but I sence her bias towards the bad actors may leave her on her own too often" Kiara" ( I completely forgot about purge ) having her fur spike for a moment but she composed herself well its all fair, the only way to learn whos real and whos not is to search them out , that is if you want to" Melantha" I know, but then I go hope after class and I'm always happy to see rabbi <3 someone whos honest and loves my smile my.. real smile > > " Kiara" listen kiara maybe not everyone will see the smiles on your face , but at least there are some who want to see that same smile in your heart, so please don't push away everyone there are good one here too pokes her chest cherish them all okay? for me" Melantha" okay I'll try at least " Kiara" good hugs her ( hey madeline!) Melantha" o o " suddenl a pinguin ran over to them
Cicci (see-see) " madeline glad I found you " Melantha" oh sorry I didn't know you were looking for me is something wrong" Cicci" me and a group are going to play a game of Treasures and Sea ventures and I wondered if you wanted to join us " Melantha" treasures and sea ventures?" Cicci " its sort of a role playing game, one person makes a game and the rest of make characters for the game world and its like building a story with friends , its not really for everyone but I thought maybe you would be interested after class " Melantha" > >;... well um.." Kiara" you could at least see about it , who knows might be fun ^^ Cicci" no hard feelings if its not your thing, " ( Purge" what have you got to lose ") Melantha" well I suppose I can come see about it " Cicci" cool , I when your class is over meet mt at the game room on the 3rd floor room 527 as he headed off Kiara" see you might like it ^w^ " Melantha" I won't lie I was itching to ask if I could bring rabbi ;w; Kiara" rabbi will be waiting for you at home , hes your boyfriend not your security blanket, don't turn into another nova " Melantha" fine fine -w- I will give it a shot " Kiara" cool " by the way I haven't seen you touch your food since we started talking :/ " Melantha" oh no I've enjoyed my food brushing her hand over it you saw purges mouth on her hand basically eating for her
Kiara" slightly disturbed r-right...right dumb question , a-anyway let me know how it all goes and I'll keep in touch ^^ " Melantha" okay, bye~" Kiara" waves " Purge" see you can do things without that rabbit, your a big girl" Melantha" oh hush "
as the rest of melantha's class wrapped up for the day, automatically she was about to make her leave back for home until purge reminded her of her table top game later, quickly make her way to the upper level
Melantha" 525...526....527 here it is standing nervously at the door Purge" I've never seen you so nervous before " Melantha" I'm not nervous I'm just... well you know, we share the same mind after all " Purge" I know, but that is why you have to do this, if your mother can do it and make jinx her friend then you should be able to do it too " Melantha" doesn't mean I want to.. " Purge" and now your introverted side is showing " Melantha" groans fine fine ><"
opening the door the room appeared to be empty , it was 3 separate tables present one table standing out among the others had holo projectors on it a board frame that covered half of the table wit ha graph looking partial sea and land colored for decoration melantha examined the items on the table even a box with a collection of game pieces and tokens and even various multi sided dice
Melantha "ohhhh... these are pretty as she picked up the hexagon set of dice" I want these" Purge" couldn't you make your own " Melantha" well yes but it would take some time to craft it perfectly from my crystals spinning them on the table as she watched it land* I could play some fun games with victims with this~ " Purge" looks like the wheels are turning " ..someones coming! " Melantha" *quickly put the dice back and backed away from the table * at the door way a koala walked in taller then the average koala seen he was wearing a yellow scarf and a dark blue shirt with sandals matching his shirt , immediately his eyes darked for melantha by the table
???" can I help you?" Melantha" ?! oh um.. I was invited to play by cicci I guess I got here early before him" ???" oh a new comer, hes always willing to bring new people, tell me have you played T&V before " Melantha" ...nnn-no " ???" do you know how to roleplay" Melantha" yes " ???" whats your favorite class system" Melantha" uhhhh... @w@ " ???" okay a total hatchling.. I get it rubbing his head look before others get here I'll run you through the basics * pulling up a chair he sat down adn melantha feeling slightly embarrassed at first >///> "
???" my name is russal by by the way " Melantha" melan- Madeline- madeline ^^ Russal" alright madeline" explain everything will take more time then we have to will just go over the most you'll need for a standard session, as she activated the holo projectors that created a 3D version of the board with different cities on display first your going ot make your character . if you've roleplayed before, this shoulder easy " * as melantha was reading through th e descriptions of the cities and what there environments were like " Purge" ( no damn pressure geez!) Melantha"... Wind-chester isles my character will be be a dark mage " Russel " mages have pretty advanced kits are you sure you want to start off that strong?" Melantha" yes " Russal " okay, so whats your bio"
Melantha" hmm... her name is melancholy a self taught dark mage, whis body is infused with the dark arts, she forever keeps together because the dark arts have morphed her appearance she knows the world would fear her for the very thing she is si she rejects it first, while at the table looking for means to reverse the effects , to hopefully have a normal life once more. Russel" okay not bad , so is she going to good evil or neutral ?" Melantha" hmmm " Purge" ( I see you asa chaotic neutral ) Melantha" ( my mom is chaotic neutral XP I think I'm more evil neutral ) Purge" well uhhh..." Russel" don't feel pressured just pick something for the moment you can change it later " Melantha" okay evil neutral "
Russel" okay, Melancholy, dark mage, evil neutral , age?"
Melantha" unknown but on the surface she would appear 30 years "
Russal" okay now the fun part suddenly the boards made a small token representing her character 4 abilities you will have as a mage powerful spells , standard and the powerful ones you need to roll high numbers to pull off " Melantha" hmm... 2 powerful spell and 2 standard, " Russel" you can only have one powerful sorry" Melantha" hmmm...fine " Russel" you'll be able to r upgrade through out the game" Melantha" XP Russel" okay I think that makes you r character, and... save"
(ping) as the board saved her character setup Russel" not going to lie your better then the last person cicci tried to invite, the girl didn't know how to make a character" Melantha" well my boy friend is a bit of a character himself , so that probably helps ( Purge" no shit")
* suddenly 3 others entered the room one of which was cicci"
Cicci " madeline! I went to your class and saw you were gone I thought maybe you changed your mind at first " Russel" no... she got here first and I was stuck showing her the basics T T" Cicci" sorry about that, I see you already met russel, I know hes a bit aggressive but hes really nice " Cicci" there is is a Pokko and Lenard pokko was a toucan she had ocean blue scarf top wit ha matching dress skirt that touched the floor the back of her hair ends were dyed pink making the pink eye shadow she gave herself. lenard was a tiger snake eel he had a collar around his neck covering his gills feeding him sea water while on the outside he had casual vest with a shorts, as he waves softly wards melantha
Melantha" ( wasn't expecting a sea dweller to be here at the school ) Cicci" well I see russel got you started with making a character" Russel" well she wasn't shy of making something quick but it has my interest at least unlike your last recruit " Cicci" look it can get boring with jsut us you know we have to branch out eventually " Pokko" lets jsut get started already, so are we gonna make a new one who continue from the last game " Russel" you know why not add in melantha for the game we have going on , I think her character might be the twist we need to finish it out, plus it will work as a nice preview " Lenard" that's kind of bad just dropping someone in the middle of a game she doesn't know any one " Russel" sometimes you have o run before you can walk " Melantha" I don't mind, Pokko" are you sure? russel just always does this cause he doesn't want to babysit and he's never had to though T T" Melantha" I'm willing to give it a go~ " Cicci" well if you want to but the moment it goes south were starting a new game T T " Melantha" ^^ "
back home in the future in killers castle
Hexvail was pracitcing her throws on a dartboard while laying on her bed, rabbi was sitting at the foot watching her practice*
( thud! ) (thud!)... (Thud) Hexvail" damn it I'm always one off from getting three in a row" Rabbi" sigh be honest, will we ever able to beat killer DX" Hexvail" to me its not a matter of when, but how, rolling over on her stomach I've watched her fights with mandarin and shes right, she plays patty cake with us... I'm...*sigh* I'm not sure how... I'm really night = = and I want us to able to reach our full on status here but given what we're up against, it really doesn't seem possible, hell I think we could beat melantha in a fight before her mom " Rabbi" ha! thatsa laugh " Hecvail" at least I can see it happening XP" Rabbi" hmph but then again the bastards that leave killer shaking are also a problem, like that owl who helped heal her, the watcher he called himself " Hexvail" I know right... as she sat up mabe.. maybe trying to fight killer shouldn't be on our to do list but trying to find ways to give ourselves edges over those hunters :/ " Rabbi" yeah... crossing his arms as he leaned his head back with a heavy sigh Rabbi" its interesting they treach each other like a infection " Hexvail" hm? " Rabbi" think about it, the light energy was infecting melantha turning her into the thing she isn't suppose to be, like how when we get sick it changes us, and the only way to fix it was to over flow our systems its almost like an infection fighting against a invader, so maybe we can find something to give us an immunity " Hexvail" if were gonna go the creepy doctor route we might as well go ask that creepy owl for help T T and after he disrespected my queen, I'm not really fond of him " Rabbi" well uhhh... purge said he worked as some kind of shield for her during her condition" Hexvail" no offense to purge but I already have had plenty of things inside me and I don't want an alien parasite " Rabbi" its not as bad as it sounds grins " Hexvail" "you" have a higher tolerance then me " Rabbi" true" Hexvail" ( sometimes I think you like taking it the other way too, buuuuut,... I'm not going there ) =w= "
Rabbi" using his power summoning hi s guns still we need a game plan " Hexvail" look before we start picking fights with others we cant win, lets slowly build ourselves up, we can't beat killer yet, but her daughter maybe we can, and who knows maybe even mephlies he doesn't seem that rough around the edges " Rabbi" we don't see him serious either who knows what hes hiding , I'm more confident in fighting your boyfriend " Hexvail" what about the soldiers?" Rabbi" the dragon soldiers uhhhh.... maybe the other small fry no question " Hexvail "hmmm... sigh I'll talk to mandarin about it, he knows killer's fighting style more then either of us " Rabbi" he said he lasted over a minute and over time he got better and lasted longer" Hexvail" so beating him and melantha maybe thats where we need to start , building ourselves up ^^ " Rabbi" sounds like we have a strategy " Hexvail" something is better then nothing..but then again.. didn't that owl say what he gave melantha would give her stronger immunity to light energy?" Rabbi" something liek that, but lets be real it would probably kill us if we took it XP " Hexvail" if killer would turn us into beings like her that wouldn't be a problem but she won't DX " Rabbi" maybe it what makes us special she tries to preserve " Hexvail" special.. heh right all I see is nothing but connections to the life we left behind, I'd rather we be rid of it completely "
Rabbi" I heard you ran into your ex... " Hexvail" don't call him that T T he died a long time ago, " Rabbi" right sorry" Hexvail" ughhh.. now I sound stupid like I'm in denial asshe jumped ot her feet ... I need some air , I'm going to frappe delight " Rabbi" bright back the frost cookies if they have them " Hexvail" sure as she left she said with a soft sigh* ( sometimes I wish I shared your ability to put on a smile no matter what ) "
to be con.
starting off the scene we have snowy sleeping in her bed
( like I said its not like I wanted to , how am I suppose to discipline a infant) Kathy" well thats why yu have me here~ " ( Ka ka be be No ka! Nahhh! hearing the effects ofa spray bottle go off snowy quickly responded to the commotion lifting her head up, seeing rouge kathy , and evven knuckles centered in the hallway and kitchen
Kathy" I know you don't want to hurt ruby because of yube's behavior but that doesn't mean you have to let her use that as blackmail" Knuckles" I'm still getting over the fact a baby has leverage over the mother :/ crossing his arms Rouge" you can't say it was my faught for this outcome " Kathy" well at least right now its fairly easy to handle her and I do hope; no seriously by chaos's mercy I hope, this will only be a phase and yube and ruby will be well... one in the same and managable and not mirror someone else > >; " Knuckles" coughs " Rouge" no need to beat around the bush sweetie we're all thinking of the certain cannibal that lives rent free in our minds " Kathy" well at least shes better shes not the same as before " Rouge" is there such a thing asa "better version of a cannibal ?" " Kathy" well...nghhh.. moving on >< now yube your going to start behaving and listening to rouge and mo more being a riotous little monster towards velvet , and I can't believe I'm aruging with a baby that's not even a year old = = Yube" Grrrr...Ka! Ahh* kathy pecks her on the nose with a her fingers like a chicken would peck a hen* Kathy" no! " Yube" Kaha ba ba- (peck) Naha! (peck) Grrr...! bites kathy's arm " Kathy" okay time out bubble it is..! puts her in the bubble, yube was clawing away at the bubble to get out while still hissing at kathy
Kathy" you want out you will behave and listen" Yube" Grrr... kathy held the bottle to her face ...." Kathy" finally... " Rouge" she would often change back to ruby if I woudl start becoming cross with her" Kathy" well that won't work with me " Knuckles" actually come to think of it kathy I've rarely had to see you be strict with a child at least this early in age" Kathy" because babies are just that, babies and not aliens that are already aware of there enviorment or want to use there mother to steal XP " Khalon" its almost like she know who she was before she was born" Rouge" please don't start with that, I still remember nightmares during my pregnancy = = I fear that might have been the case" Khalon" well its good comic material. not that I'd write that kind of stuff > >; " Kathy" khalon please" Knuckles" come on khalon lets leave kathy to her parenting lessons knuckles and khalo nheaded outside meanwhile pusheen made his way inside jumping on the couch
Pusheen" -w- ...." Rouge" for what its worth kathy I am.. sorry for the events last night, I had faith in my own abilities things would go smoothly and not turn into the commotion it did " Kathy" look I know you didn't mean any real harm and you wanted to help velvet and midnight too, but getting blackmailed by the baby is ..in all honesty something I never could imagine thats like the twins threatening to kill the pets unless I stop feeding them there veggies xD " Rouge" don't give them ideas she chuckled Kathy" ahhh they know better~ anyway yawning Rouge" you seem like you could use some rest yourself" Kathy" I won't lie I have been a little busy for many reasons and I wanted to bring something to your attention before the baby situation took over" Rouge" that is?" Kathy" I'm going ot havea bit ofa musical preformed for everyone its sort of a birthday gift to myself and I'm workign on casting and the music and I wanted you to in the play" Rouge" ....*chuckles softly* daring thats.. that incredibly sweet of you but I know you have a soft spot for me but I don't think I have that voice of a singer nor have I ever tried " Kathy" I know ,you have that smokers voice which to me is under appreciated but I have moments that would fit and you will be doing some practice sessions wiht me and alicia " Rouge" there no getting out of this is there " Kathy" nope~ ^w^ " Rouge" sigh well I'll give it my best that s all I can promise" kathy" and that's all you need my dear"
( kathy! Kathy!) suddenly from outside to the door way silver came running into the door
Silver" Kathy! I'm so glad your here I need your help DX" Rouge" darling take a number TwT having her hand on her hip dismissively Silver" this is serious! its magnika" Kathy" something happened!? and I didn't know about it!? " Silver" this might be something only you can do after all you know her better then me , at least for this > >" Rouge" I thought you were her boy friend" Silver" I know! but this is something special" Kathy" alright alright just explain on the way, teleports note to rouge , can you fee d the cats fro me love I'll be back in a minute ~ if you need help ask snowy assh teleported away with silver
Rouge" scanning the note with all the names and dishes for each cat with pusheen and purrgly at the top and the food labeled for each one ask snowy , I can't read minds like you- can o o;; asshe lowered the note suddenly all the cats in the room were staring at her at the same time with snowly just watching from the back
Snowy" ( yeah they can get a little antsy when there not fed on time) " Rouge" um... alright everyone who wants to be fed first um.. coco? ( RWeeoowwww!) suddenly like a symphony they all started meowing at her feet as some where climbing up her legs Ahhh hey hey stop it ow ow ow ! watch the merchandise! as she was getting backed into the corner in the kitchen, eaching into the cabinet she grabbed a bag of pre-made food with names on them but asshe reached for them suddenly in the cabinet itself was pusheen
Rouge" what the!? you were jsut on the couch ( Glomp!) Hmhmhhmmm! pusheen glomps her face Pusheen" Pffbbhhh!" Rouge " Mhhmphm hmhphmhm Mhmmaaa! ( Get off get offf! Ahhhh) she ended up falling on the floor with the food as all the cats swarmed her as she reached up help...me..."
at that moment kiara came from upstairs
Kiara" why does it smell like catfood? ..WHAT THE?! seeing the scene in front of her (Whistles!!) ALL OF YOU STOP! GET OFF! NOW! BACK BACK! clapping her hands making all of the cats run away while pusheen was still on rouges face she picked him of and tossed him on the couch* you little ring leader! (Whoosh) rouge?!" Rouge" her hair, fur and clothes were all matted and covered in cat hair ...this is why.. I'm not a pet person... Pifft! " Kiara" mom is a special case don't condemn them all cause she likes to have 20 , and thats not counting the ones outside "
meanwhile
turningto magnika's home in mobius
Kathy" so shes stressing out because of the finals?" Silver" yes, we're one week away from the finals , the team has been playing great , she wanted to surprise you with the news but her last teams opponents are.. well no joke, the Limit breakers " Kathy" nice name, can you break it down for someone who doesn't keep up with hover ball? Silver" there a major league team, one of magnika's favorites she likes to watch as well , so not only is she going against her idols there a step between her team and the championship , I've told her not to swear it, there team decided to do some individual training and will work on team strates later in the week, she was fine a few days ago then all of a suddenly the stress just started ot eat her alive she hasn't eaten in two days DX "
entering the house heartha was the first to greet them Hearthe" oh kathy its nice to see you, Kathy" how is magnika ;w; " Hearthe" > >... shes shes had better days " Silver" I know oyour probably upset I can't help but but I've done everything I know, but maybe there is something you know will help her get out of this anxiety spiral she jsut needs stop worrying about the game she can do this I know she can" Kathy" ....*sigh* maybe she needs a break from everything at least a day , how often did she practice" Hearthe" if she wasn't playing for her team she was practicing or sleeping not much else" Kathy" ...*sigh* burnout ...I knew it would happen DX she did this to herself once before " Herthe" o o! your right that was your schools hover ball game she kind of wanted to show off and went alittle over board even though it was just a charity game"
as kathy went up to her room
Kathy" maggie?....magnika its me kathy~.. as she walked into her room she ended up stepping on crossed out papers on the floor, each paper had crossed out game plans she discarded while on the bed magnika was hugging a pillow rocking back and forth mumbling
Magnika" they know what I'm going to do, every plan I make they wil lseei t coming how wil lI know the move to make, the right play. verses the wrong play. one thing changes everything... if I make a mistake it will cause the team but I can't sit this out I have ot watch.. watchign watching there forever watching I'm not good enough for this..(Magnika!) where can the plans maybe if I combine two into one but which one..( magnika! ).. two game plans but 5 ,, yes 5 five should work you can't win if I use everything! (MAGNIKA!) !?!? turning her head towards kathy with tired eyes ...aunt elisa! you can came to give your support , kathy told you about the game XD its been a while since I've seen you and leo " Kathy"... elisa.... magnika its me! kathy! DX and I'm not that old! " Magnika" kathy... ohh kathy hi, nice to see you I wasn't expecting to see you so late in the day" Kathy" its a 9 o clock in the morning" Magnika" huh... thats something anyway I need get back to finding a good game plan for the team" grabbing one of the random sheets on the bed Kathy" I think...! you need to give you self a break... taking the papers Magnika" kathy were one game away from making history for the team for our city ;w; this is big! super big! Kathy" yes I understand but right now look at you, you haven't slept or eaten and you need to refresh yourself if you want to play at your best " Magnika" I know but the plan which plan wil lmake the play" Kathy" okay how about this I have a great idea ^w^ its as simple as one ,two .. three ( snap) snapping her fingers kathy cast chaos energy over her making her fall asleep
Kathy" sigh... I can't believe she said I looked like my mom.. " Silver" how is she?" Kathy" for now sleeping, and I know how to deal with her like this, but shes need to be taken away from everything to get her mind to relax, so when she wakes up I'll be taking her on a little getaway " Silver" or I could take her, you've always helped her out kathy " Kathy" well ... okay it will be a bit of a trio trip for all of us, but for now let her sleep and I'll be back soon okay" Silver" nods and thanks again " Kathy" no problem~ (Vosh) Heartha " can I finally clean this room now before it comes a health hazard? " Silver" at least moving her to the guest bed will be easier "
back at kathy's house kiara helped clean up the messes and the cats were all fed as instructed with each one at there own dish mean while rouge was sitting on the couch with ruby inside the bubble still, as if it was a hamster ball, yube was not present however it was only ruby this time as rouge held her in her lap
Kiara" hey um sorry about the cats they can be a little overbearing sometimes" Rouge" that's okay dear, I've just been having other things on my mind , and your mother has been trying to be helpful " Kiara" I tried doing some research on black arms myself , I got alittle curious hearing all the stories from velvet and well, it turns out ruby isn't a special case, even though its all speculation but BA- newborns have a sepreate consciousness that functions when the main one is either asleep or too tired to remain present, its as if the bodies nervous system has a defense mode of its own as the child grows eventually the two will become one " Rouge" fascinating... but can it develop personalities? Kiara" that I'm not sure there wasn't alot of data to go off of, shadow it probably the best example and most recent you can get " Rouge" lovely.. she sighed "
( Vosh!) suddenly kathy teleported back into the room
Kathy" sigh okay she'll be out for a bit, now I can- ahh! rouge what happened to you! your look a mess" Rouge" your cats decided to ambush me and dog pile on me like a zombie movie scene
T T" Kiara" I helped her clean up and get them all taken care of don't worry " Kathy" thank you kiara I'll handle things from here as kathy used her energy and cleaned rouge up fixing her hair and makeup and dusting off the loose pieces of cat hair I see yube has finally decided to take a nap " Rouge" mhm.. your daughter says its not split personality but a defense system the arms race seem to have " Kathy" oh well that s interesting* as she sat down next to her* are you okay?" Rouge " I failed a easy heist, put my child at risk, getting my friend to save my hide and my own baby makes a mockery of me, what do you think? " Kathy" well look the heist thing was unpredictable you couldn't have foreseen all that nonsense, second yube is something special, and a bit of a unknown but at least look at ruby right now you can tell she loves you, its just getting that other side to learn little respect that's all ^^ " Rouge" respect... given my history, thats the last word you would associate with me " Kathy" rouge, come on don't say that.. " Rouge" be honest kathy.. I'm..I'm not a mother... I shouldn't be a parent " Kathy" don't say that, you've raised midnight fairly well yuo " Rouge" midnight was already a teen whe nwe found him , I sort of became his adopted mother only because they used my DNA and shadows when that women created him, the hard part was done, I was there late in the game , I can't claim anything and here I am with a new born of my own and I just..* holding her hands over face as tears ran down her cheek* .... now I'm put on some kind of punishment because I can't be trusted... my own baby, mine, she cried softly I'm sorry ruby,, I'm so sorry , " Kathy".........* removing the bubble* letting ruby sit on her lap, ruby climbed up to rouge putting he hand on her face* o o" Rouge" o o " Ruby" nuzzles into her ahhh xD" Kathy" you know rouge, for all the spills I give , for all the joke made about me , taking kids, cause I love them so much, worrying about them. even offering to be a second mother, at the end of the day, I would never try to keep a child apart from there parent especially if the child themselves want there mother. sometimes we all need alittle help and I only step in if there is danger but there are times we make mistakes we do it all the time we're not perfect. I'm far from it " Rouge" are you sure about that"
Kathy" look I've had my screw ups knuckles has chewed my ass out more then once, I would over work myself can nearly get myself killed, leaving him alone with only kiara how could he tell that to her when she hatched, " oh your mother was too much of a giver and she killed herself giving too much" " Rouge" heh... that is if he was tell her the truth" Kathy" she would find our eventually xD but my point is that was a horrible move on my part trying to be everything for everyone, thats why I have the collar , and why I'm limiting my help to close friends , or if I pass by someone in need > >" Rouge" hmph lucky me then I suppose " Kathy" so please don't think of yourself as a baby mother, your just learning and be glad your with friends that will help you learn and be the best I know you can be ^w^ " Rouge" ..* wiping her tears away* thank you kathy that.. that means alot and even how I spat in my parents face for all they've done" Kathy " you were a dumb child but you got better " Rouge" hey!" Kathy" I'm just calling it like it is~ rouge punches her shoulder letting out a small laugh
suddenly purrgy walked up to rouge Purrgly : T^T Rouge" a cat with eye liner that's new for you" Kathy" actually shes just like that~ suddenly she jumps on rouges lap quickly moving ruby out of the way of her leap (ooof!) suddenly it looked like a beanbag was sitting on her lap
Kathy" I kind of heard you weren't a pet person" Rouge" I had a feeling you'd hear that, " Kathy" everyone has a certain one for them ^w^ " Rouge" sure Ruby" ahh sitting on top of purrgly rube started to pull on her ears " Rouge" alright alright both of you off I'm not the couch cushion DX pushing the cat off her lap * Kathy "Eheh x3 I could a make joke but I won't xD " Rouge" ha ha so about this play you mentioned? Kathy" ahh yes well you'll be a back up singer for some sections and I got a few key story moments we can sort out f oyour feeling confident enough your performance " Rouge" one step at a time dear , I kno you like to go full throttle " Kathy" mmm sometimes~ " ( knock knock)
Ginger" I got it ashe opened the door hello? " answering the door it was honey Honey" oh.. sorry is this the wrong house?" Kathy" honey! XD" Honey" oh good I got worry for a second xD; I don't travel cross dimensions often " Kathy" oh no thats totally fine I'm glad your here hugs her tightly Honey" I heard you were in need of some outfits~ " Kathy" yes~ and I hope breezie has been treating you well?" Honey" >w>; it pays for my profession and I'll just leave it at that" Kathy" well guess what, you work for me now sweetie <3 " Honey" ehh o o I can't just quit she has me under contract DX " Kathy" yes well they have one loophole the " kathy says so" clause , making her contract appear and writing something on it and teleports it away as if right now your my costume designer ~ " Honey" owo Nyan! XD I always wanted to make stage play costumes! "
meanwhile
breezie got her hands o nthe contact
" Shes mine now bitch, Kathy <3 " Breezie" that little bitch... "
a bit later on
Rouge" so magnika has been having burn out regarding her hoverball game " Kathy" yes, and she is about to run herself into the dirt literally, so I used alittle trick to make her fall asleep for a while, then once she wakes up . I'll take her out for some food and away for a little relaxation. " Rouge" you sure she won't fall back into her old mindset?" Kathy" I know magnika, and I know where to take her so she won't have that dilemma" Rouge" well if you say so~ but shouldn't silver her future husband be able to handle this?" Kathy" yes, but this is the one time I'll give him a pass, magnika has been doing well and hes been at her beck and call ever since, she never addressed him about having burnout , so its not really something hes familiar with, it would be similar if I was burnout with taking care of the kids, what could knuckles do for me at that point? something I rarely if ever show?" Rouge" well I suppose that is true >w> " Kathy" so with that in mind - - maggie has always been a fan of sea life~ aquariums and such" Rouge" really? " Kathy" mhm, I remember games when we were little, or at least when I was little her school games would leave her exhausted, she would go to the emerald lake and just take a noise dive in the water and do nothing, but drift for like an hour. say it was therapeutic in some ways. she chuckled it almost reminded me of the times my mother; my birth mother took me to these small gardens i the forest " Rouge" how sweet ^^ " Kathy" mhm, so taking her to the sol kingdom for a bit will be just the thing to get her away perfectly~"
Rouge" well speaking of getting sleep I think I've well overdue for it, I'm ran all night and day nearly at this point, I think I'm over due myself" Kathy" mhm and now that we know what to do with the children we won't have this again " Rouge" I promise, " Yube" grrr kia no baba.. rouge holds up the spray bottle Rouge" TwT ....." Yube" sigh...ick.... " Rouge" thats a good girl ~ Kathy" claps yay w^ so she'll be back home by tomorrow, you can get at least some sleep " Rouge" heh thank you daar and as for your theater event" Kathy" I'll call you wen I need you~ Rouge" notes as kathy teleported her home* now as for you staring at yube I believe its time for someone to take a nap " Yube" turning away from her as she curled up Kathy" you'll leanI can be your friend or your problem , take your pick* softly turning her around* I don't like being mean its not me, but if your force me I will, so can we be friends? please Yube".... slowly she transformed back into rube as the eyes faded away , and ruby opened her natural eyes Kathy" I'll take that as a yes taking ruby from the bubble hi~ your gonna havea day with me okay? ^w^ so why don't we let you get familiar with the twins~ as she placed her down in the playpen " l oh brother... ughh... as sky let out a heavy sigh falling on the couch herself*
Ginger" finally reached your limit?" Kathy" I was fine, with the midnight outing , then the trouble with magnika then honey coming in , and thank you again for giving her the list of costumes cause I couldn't not think straight I was mentally balancing alot already DX" Ginger" its no problem, but uhh seriously have you considering having some help? as ginger made her some tea
Kathy" you and the other kids help out enough , I'll be fine as long I can catch my breathe * she smiled softly* inhaling the aroma of the hot tea ohh the hot lemon raspberry is always nice~ " Ginger " not exactly help from us, I mean maybe... others that can do exactly what you can do just not as strong, or... snaps his fingers junior versions of kiara does that make sense? "
Kathy" like what? other people that think like me I can trust? ot do everything I do?" Ginger" or at least cover some of the basics you need your powers for , hell you could even hire someone, you got the funds for sure " Kathy" scratching her head well... it not like I couldn't but...." Ginger" if were gonna be moving into a castle eventually your gonna want servants and they all cant just be variations of you , otherwise you'll be a old fossil before kyle and kathlyen hit middle school "
Kathy" alright I get your point >< and never say that again or your on litter box duty for a whole week " Ginger" I just don't want to you burn out like your sister is right now , I've even had burnouts myself there not fun " Kathy" I know... and thank you but as for others taking over for me, valissa is probably the closet I would say is someone who knows me well enough to take over certain things, and she would be a big help so perhaps I can hire her as a helper > > " Ginger" perfect that's already one , the kids are always looking for odd jobs for money , maybe some you can pay to watch the animals or the cat village " Kathy" I'll think about it, but right now valissa will be a big help but right now, I can take it easy, then go see magnika later, and then see about honey" Ginger" weren't you gonna see wildfire later?" Kathy" > >... I guess kiara can check on honey's work for me " Ginger" delegation is hard when your use to holding all the cards" Kathy" uhuh .. but then again I do over do it, maybe I should focus on whats important instead of everything at once" Ginger" that's good and right now you said you would relax " Kathy" at last for a minute"
Ginger" I think you need more then a minute ma picking up pusheen and putting him on her lap Kathy" eheh I suppose your right xD ( but maybe given everyone in the mothers club and ponytail club maybe I can start asking around for some assistance , it couldn't hurt )..."drinking her tea ~ -w- as snowy came and lied down at her feet "
online voice chat
Sonia" so nova I heard the mecha test flight went well " Nova" yes it is I love it , its amazing its... I don't know its beyond words whats it like to fly it" Ashley" sounds like you all have been pretty busy, désolée we have not been very active in the group - -" Nova" its alright ashley things have been all over the place for us too, even for my dad > > " Oliver" I think its safe to say kit has a crush on ashley now " Nova" aww~ " Ashley" well he is cute I cannot lie, and after that performance at the restaurant the boy has talent ^w^ " Data" speaking of talent mom has been working with kathy to put together this musical our parents are gonna be doing for her birthday" Sonia" yeah thats been the talk of the town the last few days , at first it was gonna be just for friends and family but slowly I think some outsiders are gonna come see " Nova" nghh... I hope not " Manic" why not it could be cool for everyone to come and see" Nova" its weird, I guess a musical based off of real events that took place ? Sonia" its not that over the top, plus you think kathy wil llet everyone judge it if they dislike it "
Nova" I don't know, maybe > >" Hinote" well one thing I would like comment on is the music, alicia is letting me work with her for the songs in the musical and I "really" really hope there good ;w; if they are I'll use them for my new single and if not well... back to the drawing board " Nova" they will be fine hinote don't worry, " Hinote" also oddly enough, sapphire is a closet history nerd and likes your dad's auto biography so this whole thing is up his ally , so expect us to be there on the day xD" Nova" that's interesting :/ " Manic" well it will be a something big for her birthday which isn't too far away, I think the werid part is the conflict between out parents , and even for sky and sonic, I remember they had alot of spats from what I know" Data" them try sonic and tails, that was the worst one or the three way love triangle XP with them and fiona Nova" I'm sure there not going to over everything, jsut some key points and maybe shouldn't take it too seriously " Data" it always feel kind of quiet when its jsut us doesn't it "
Nova" well the others had class today, but I'm gonna be helping niyako tonight , with combat training xD Manic" lucky I want to fly a giant robot " Nova" niyako has blueprints and plans for more so maybe soon manic you'll get your wish, he still wants to do that dinosaur one for surge , I don't know why hes hooked on that one > > " Ashley" it is a boy with his hobby x3 " ( nova, yeah? ...... okay I'm coming) Nova" sorry guys I have to go, fire practice signs off " Data" now that the pro is gone anyone want to play a few games?" Sonia" she usually carries " Data" we don't always have to play comp " Sonia" lets just try to keep it chill and kiara often makes it seem like money is on the line" Ashley" they are both very competitive, but it can be healthy for some" Manic" and rage inducing for others " Hinote" come on lets just have some fun , alicia is gonna pull me back any second "
changing scenes
we arrive at the school during lunch period , melantha was sitting by herself on bench in the training field , as other kids going by were also having there sparring sessions or outright jsut playing sports, opening her lunch box to the naked eye it looked likea bottle fruit punch, slices pf uncooked meat with small bag of chips
Melantha" hmm" Kiara" looks like I finally caught you alone " Melantha" o o o-oh kiara" Kira" hi "madeline" xD looks like our schedules finally crossed where we could sit and chat " Melantha" yeah lucky me she chuckled softly Kiara" so how is the school going for you?" Melantha" well the class isn't so bad, I've learned alot from hurricane , some of the kids find him disgusting but its par for the course if your going to learning about what makes the body work " Kiara" yeah some need to have a stomach for it, " Melantha" mhm what about for you?" Kiara" I got a exam on trinity crystals this week and its alittle annoying but I just hope I can pass it = =" Melantha" its the variety isn't" Kiara" no its which color, belongs to which region and which element spawns where, the colors also help determine what effects it will have and what its used for, and so on and so on and I'm bloody simplifying it DX Melantha" sounds like your got your hands full" Kiara" maybe, but you know my mom wants to be sure your alright too , she asks me did you see you at all and well its no fun being a loner on the school grounds " Melantha" I'm only here for classes no t much else, its alright if I kind of fade away, its not like others would accpet me anyway she said passive aggressively Kiara" why say that"
Melantha" its not hard to know why kiara, if people took one look at me they would run in terror, and it well.. it bothers me knowing that fact, and when I'm playing pretend your smiling and lying to my face , I know I sound petty but I couldn't tell you why it bothers me... " Kiara" no, no I get it I had some try to be buddy buddy with me only cause they know mom wil lbe the new principle evenetually so its like " hey I wonder if I can get in good graces with the headmaster" Melantha" and how does that turn out " Kiara" since I can read minds I shatter there hopes then there suddenly bitter and leave " Melantha" ahahaha sorry to leave you disappointed XD" Kiara" I know right! " suddenly her left hand started slapping her thigh passively ummm you okay?" Melantha" oh he does this when he wants to say something , so I check to make sure the coast is clear "
as melantha opened up herh and and you saw a mouth on the palm belonging to purge
Purge" she want s to appear as if she has no friends but there are some good people here, shes made friends with a penguin recently, but I sence her bias towards the bad actors may leave her on her own too often" Kiara" ( I completely forgot about purge ) having her fur spike for a moment but she composed herself well its all fair, the only way to learn whos real and whos not is to search them out , that is if you want to" Melantha" I know, but then I go hope after class and I'm always happy to see rabbi <3 someone whos honest and loves my smile my.. real smile > > " Kiara" listen kiara maybe not everyone will see the smiles on your face , but at least there are some who want to see that same smile in your heart, so please don't push away everyone there are good one here too pokes her chest cherish them all okay? for me" Melantha" okay I'll try at least " Kiara" good hugs her ( hey madeline!) Melantha" o o " suddenl a pinguin ran over to them
Cicci (see-see) " madeline glad I found you " Melantha" oh sorry I didn't know you were looking for me is something wrong" Cicci" me and a group are going to play a game of Treasures and Sea ventures and I wondered if you wanted to join us " Melantha" treasures and sea ventures?" Cicci " its sort of a role playing game, one person makes a game and the rest of make characters for the game world and its like building a story with friends , its not really for everyone but I thought maybe you would be interested after class " Melantha" > >;... well um.." Kiara" you could at least see about it , who knows might be fun ^^ Cicci" no hard feelings if its not your thing, " ( Purge" what have you got to lose ") Melantha" well I suppose I can come see about it " Cicci" cool , I when your class is over meet mt at the game room on the 3rd floor room 527 as he headed off Kiara" see you might like it ^w^ " Melantha" I won't lie I was itching to ask if I could bring rabbi ;w; Kiara" rabbi will be waiting for you at home , hes your boyfriend not your security blanket, don't turn into another nova " Melantha" fine fine -w- I will give it a shot " Kiara" cool " by the way I haven't seen you touch your food since we started talking :/ " Melantha" oh no I've enjoyed my food brushing her hand over it you saw purges mouth on her hand basically eating for her
Kiara" slightly disturbed r-right...right dumb question , a-anyway let me know how it all goes and I'll keep in touch ^^ " Melantha" okay, bye~" Kiara" waves " Purge" see you can do things without that rabbit, your a big girl" Melantha" oh hush "
as the rest of melantha's class wrapped up for the day, automatically she was about to make her leave back for home until purge reminded her of her table top game later, quickly make her way to the upper level
Melantha" 525...526....527 here it is standing nervously at the door Purge" I've never seen you so nervous before " Melantha" I'm not nervous I'm just... well you know, we share the same mind after all " Purge" I know, but that is why you have to do this, if your mother can do it and make jinx her friend then you should be able to do it too " Melantha" doesn't mean I want to.. " Purge" and now your introverted side is showing " Melantha" groans fine fine ><"
opening the door the room appeared to be empty , it was 3 separate tables present one table standing out among the others had holo projectors on it a board frame that covered half of the table wit ha graph looking partial sea and land colored for decoration melantha examined the items on the table even a box with a collection of game pieces and tokens and even various multi sided dice
Melantha "ohhhh... these are pretty as she picked up the hexagon set of dice" I want these" Purge" couldn't you make your own " Melantha" well yes but it would take some time to craft it perfectly from my crystals spinning them on the table as she watched it land* I could play some fun games with victims with this~ " Purge" looks like the wheels are turning " ..someones coming! " Melantha" *quickly put the dice back and backed away from the table * at the door way a koala walked in taller then the average koala seen he was wearing a yellow scarf and a dark blue shirt with sandals matching his shirt , immediately his eyes darked for melantha by the table
???" can I help you?" Melantha" ?! oh um.. I was invited to play by cicci I guess I got here early before him" ???" oh a new comer, hes always willing to bring new people, tell me have you played T&V before " Melantha" ...nnn-no " ???" do you know how to roleplay" Melantha" yes " ???" whats your favorite class system" Melantha" uhhhh... @w@ " ???" okay a total hatchling.. I get it rubbing his head look before others get here I'll run you through the basics * pulling up a chair he sat down adn melantha feeling slightly embarrassed at first >///> "
???" my name is russal by by the way " Melantha" melan- Madeline- madeline ^^ Russal" alright madeline" explain everything will take more time then we have to will just go over the most you'll need for a standard session, as she activated the holo projectors that created a 3D version of the board with different cities on display first your going ot make your character . if you've roleplayed before, this shoulder easy " * as melantha was reading through th e descriptions of the cities and what there environments were like " Purge" ( no damn pressure geez!) Melantha"... Wind-chester isles my character will be be a dark mage " Russel " mages have pretty advanced kits are you sure you want to start off that strong?" Melantha" yes " Russal " okay, so whats your bio"
Melantha" hmm... her name is melancholy a self taught dark mage, whis body is infused with the dark arts, she forever keeps together because the dark arts have morphed her appearance she knows the world would fear her for the very thing she is si she rejects it first, while at the table looking for means to reverse the effects , to hopefully have a normal life once more. Russel" okay not bad , so is she going to good evil or neutral ?" Melantha" hmmm " Purge" ( I see you asa chaotic neutral ) Melantha" ( my mom is chaotic neutral XP I think I'm more evil neutral ) Purge" well uhhh..." Russel" don't feel pressured just pick something for the moment you can change it later " Melantha" okay evil neutral "
Russel" okay, Melancholy, dark mage, evil neutral , age?"
Melantha" unknown but on the surface she would appear 30 years "
Russal" okay now the fun part suddenly the boards made a small token representing her character 4 abilities you will have as a mage powerful spells , standard and the powerful ones you need to roll high numbers to pull off " Melantha" hmm... 2 powerful spell and 2 standard, " Russel" you can only have one powerful sorry" Melantha" hmmm...fine " Russel" you'll be able to r upgrade through out the game" Melantha" XP Russel" okay I think that makes you r character, and... save"
(ping) as the board saved her character setup Russel" not going to lie your better then the last person cicci tried to invite, the girl didn't know how to make a character" Melantha" well my boy friend is a bit of a character himself , so that probably helps ( Purge" no shit")
* suddenly 3 others entered the room one of which was cicci"
Cicci " madeline! I went to your class and saw you were gone I thought maybe you changed your mind at first " Russel" no... she got here first and I was stuck showing her the basics T T" Cicci" sorry about that, I see you already met russel, I know hes a bit aggressive but hes really nice " Cicci" there is is a Pokko and Lenard pokko was a toucan she had ocean blue scarf top wit ha matching dress skirt that touched the floor the back of her hair ends were dyed pink making the pink eye shadow she gave herself. lenard was a tiger snake eel he had a collar around his neck covering his gills feeding him sea water while on the outside he had casual vest with a shorts, as he waves softly wards melantha
Melantha" ( wasn't expecting a sea dweller to be here at the school ) Cicci" well I see russel got you started with making a character" Russel" well she wasn't shy of making something quick but it has my interest at least unlike your last recruit " Cicci" look it can get boring with jsut us you know we have to branch out eventually " Pokko" lets jsut get started already, so are we gonna make a new one who continue from the last game " Russel" you know why not add in melantha for the game we have going on , I think her character might be the twist we need to finish it out, plus it will work as a nice preview " Lenard" that's kind of bad just dropping someone in the middle of a game she doesn't know any one " Russel" sometimes you have o run before you can walk " Melantha" I don't mind, Pokko" are you sure? russel just always does this cause he doesn't want to babysit and he's never had to though T T" Melantha" I'm willing to give it a go~ " Cicci" well if you want to but the moment it goes south were starting a new game T T " Melantha" ^^ "
back home in the future in killers castle
Hexvail was pracitcing her throws on a dartboard while laying on her bed, rabbi was sitting at the foot watching her practice*
( thud! ) (thud!)... (Thud) Hexvail" damn it I'm always one off from getting three in a row" Rabbi" sigh be honest, will we ever able to beat killer DX" Hexvail" to me its not a matter of when, but how, rolling over on her stomach I've watched her fights with mandarin and shes right, she plays patty cake with us... I'm...*sigh* I'm not sure how... I'm really night = = and I want us to able to reach our full on status here but given what we're up against, it really doesn't seem possible, hell I think we could beat melantha in a fight before her mom " Rabbi" ha! thatsa laugh " Hecvail" at least I can see it happening XP" Rabbi" hmph but then again the bastards that leave killer shaking are also a problem, like that owl who helped heal her, the watcher he called himself " Hexvail" I know right... as she sat up mabe.. maybe trying to fight killer shouldn't be on our to do list but trying to find ways to give ourselves edges over those hunters :/ " Rabbi" yeah... crossing his arms as he leaned his head back with a heavy sigh Rabbi" its interesting they treach each other like a infection " Hexvail" hm? " Rabbi" think about it, the light energy was infecting melantha turning her into the thing she isn't suppose to be, like how when we get sick it changes us, and the only way to fix it was to over flow our systems its almost like an infection fighting against a invader, so maybe we can find something to give us an immunity " Hexvail" if were gonna go the creepy doctor route we might as well go ask that creepy owl for help T T and after he disrespected my queen, I'm not really fond of him " Rabbi" well uhhh... purge said he worked as some kind of shield for her during her condition" Hexvail" no offense to purge but I already have had plenty of things inside me and I don't want an alien parasite " Rabbi" its not as bad as it sounds grins " Hexvail" "you" have a higher tolerance then me " Rabbi" true" Hexvail" ( sometimes I think you like taking it the other way too, buuuuut,... I'm not going there ) =w= "
Rabbi" using his power summoning hi s guns still we need a game plan " Hexvail" look before we start picking fights with others we cant win, lets slowly build ourselves up, we can't beat killer yet, but her daughter maybe we can, and who knows maybe even mephlies he doesn't seem that rough around the edges " Rabbi" we don't see him serious either who knows what hes hiding , I'm more confident in fighting your boyfriend " Hexvail" what about the soldiers?" Rabbi" the dragon soldiers uhhhh.... maybe the other small fry no question " Hexvail "hmmm... sigh I'll talk to mandarin about it, he knows killer's fighting style more then either of us " Rabbi" he said he lasted over a minute and over time he got better and lasted longer" Hexvail" so beating him and melantha maybe thats where we need to start , building ourselves up ^^ " Rabbi" sounds like we have a strategy " Hexvail" something is better then nothing..but then again.. didn't that owl say what he gave melantha would give her stronger immunity to light energy?" Rabbi" something liek that, but lets be real it would probably kill us if we took it XP " Hexvail" if killer would turn us into beings like her that wouldn't be a problem but she won't DX " Rabbi" maybe it what makes us special she tries to preserve " Hexvail" special.. heh right all I see is nothing but connections to the life we left behind, I'd rather we be rid of it completely "
Rabbi" I heard you ran into your ex... " Hexvail" don't call him that T T he died a long time ago, " Rabbi" right sorry" Hexvail" ughhh.. now I sound stupid like I'm in denial asshe jumped ot her feet ... I need some air , I'm going to frappe delight " Rabbi" bright back the frost cookies if they have them " Hexvail" sure as she left she said with a soft sigh* ( sometimes I wish I shared your ability to put on a smile no matter what ) "
