I had a pretty exciting dream a day or so ago. To sum up the dream/its plot, it went something like this:

Thirteen Year Old Reader Ends Up In A Town Haunted By A Murder Ten Years Ago... Everyone Suspects One Man Of The Crime... But, Reader Believes He Is Innocent, So Sets Out To Prove It...

Or in other words, a small town mystery starring Reader, and the man (mutant) who they believe is innocent (if not intimidating and anti-social), Victor Creed, or Sabretooth.

The dream went something like this:

Reader, a kid on their own, ends up accidentally in a small, sleepy town surrounded by woods, water, and mist. They end up being taken in by a nice family, who try to help them get back on their feet. When they mention to Reader the murder that happened ten years ago, they say that a child had been murdered, but their murderer, nor their body, had ever been found. But, the town suspects someone of having done the wicked deed... A recluse, living in a house in the middle of the woods on the outskirts of town, who always seemed "off".

Reader is still curious, though, and somehow, they, and the family and a new friend, end up having to do business with this strange recluse... When they enter the house/small business, Reader tries to stay out of the way of everyone, but they watch (eavesdrop) on the conversations between people. Until they come face-to-face (well, face-looking-up-to-face) with the possible culprit himself. A large, giant of a man, with long hair and sharp teeth and sharper nails. Reader had heard a bit of what he'd said, to another person and to the family they're with, and from what they could piece together-

He didn't do it.

Sure, the huge, intimidating, scary man is standoffish, cold, teasing, and against people. But, Reader believes he didn't commit the murder. They aren't sure why they think that (is it instincts? Subconscious knowledge? A sixth sense?), but they are convinced of the idea that for all his traits and formidable nature, that he was not the one to do it, or a person who would go after a defenseless child. Reader has a small conversation with him, where they bluntly say they don't think he did it. And the man is- silent. Calculating. Then he sends then off, mentioning he'll be seeing them again.

Reader spends their days exploring the quiet town, going through the stores and investigating for any clues as to who did the deed, and where the body might be hidden. That leads them to some places they shouldn't be (abandoned waterway, clearing in the woods where they found blood and evidence, deep part of the woods by Victor's house), doing their best to figure out the crime. And they DO find some clues, such as the type of person it would have to be to do the crime (right-handed, knows how to navigate forests, possibly a hunter/nature expert, must have known the child and/or their family and their schedule). But it still isn't enough to catch the culprit...

They slowly interact with Victor/Sabretooth in small doses. Usually when they're in the woods and he heard them, so went to see who it was. The small moments of talking reveal to Reader that while the man has a dark sense of humor, doesn't like anybody in town, and has likely committed a crime before, he has a soft spot for (or just won't hurt) kids. Reader also finds out he has an estranged sibling, a brother, who he has tried to make amends with, but who is... hard to convince (yeah, he's talking about Logan. Guy is still obsessed/protective of his baby sibling, who still has amnesia and thinks he's a crazy lunatic). He also slowly gets to learn a little about Reader from these talks, learning they don't have a family/parents (the one they're staying with is helping them, though), they're a bit odd compared to other children, and they truly, utterly believe he is innocent of the crime. Safe to say, he starts to secretly grow attached to them (new sibling/child/cub/pup/runt) (he isn't replacing Logan, he's just adding one more person to the amount of people he cares about. Which he can count on one hand. Take that, alcoholic b*stard blood-father!)

And after awhile, when Reader might be in danger of being the murderer's next victim (because they got too close to finding out who it was/brought up the murder too many times), Victor/Sabretooth steps in. He may not like the town or people, but he DOES like Reader, and no child deserves to have their murder unsolved or body not properly buried. So he sets to tracking down who did it, even while some of the town police snort and say he couldn't possibly catch who did it, because he should know who it is (they're saying it's him). He sees a picture drawn in the dirt, by Reader, who was drawing him and themself, and that resolves any doubts he has. It doesn't take more than a day to track down the body, kept in an old, rusted bunker/freight in the woods west of his house, and he can't stand to look at the damage done to it. The way the body is rotted and bloated and caught in a frightened pose. But then, he catches cloth, with the scent of the murderer... And he hunts them down, dragging them to the police. The man who did it was something like a banker/baker, who was a serial murderer who had hidden in the town. Suffice to say, he is supposed to sent off to a maximum prison...

But Victor/Sabretooth takes care of him before that can happen.

(It's a bloody ordeal, leaving gouges and lashes and cuts for each child thean killed, each life snuffed out before its prime. And for the fact he was planning to off Reader, Victor decides to tear off chunks of flesh, eating some, doing everything he can to make the monster pay and writhe in agony... And when the man is finally dead, bloodied and unrecognizable save for his teeth and basic features, he drags the body back to the police station, a sign and threat...)

And that concludes the dream...

If it continued (a part of it did, portraying how Victor viewed Logan and their brotherly bond/blood), Reader would have ended up being taken with him (forced adoption), and Victor would have set out to find Logan... Who finds the Reader, smells Sabretooth on them, and promptly takes Reader with him and tries to go to the X-Men. Which Victor is having none of, and goes to hunt them down (at least his runt likes the cub, that means there won't be too much jealousy)...

Bonus:

Reader, looking up at the behemoth that is Victor/Sabretooth, with a few dark stains that might be blood:😶

Reader: I think you're good😌

Sabretooth: 🤨

Sabretooth: What?

Reader: Yep. You're not bad, just antisocial

Sabretooth: Wha-? Kid, I've killed people. I've EATEN people. How the f*ck do I look child-friendly?😠

Reader: You're just like a big cat😊😁🐱🦁🐯

Sabretooth: 👀

Sabretooth, internally: Okay, I'm keeping this one-💕🧡

The Missing Episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars

This post has nothing to do with Disney or their movies.

Hello. Star Wars is extremely close to my heart, and extremely important to me. As a narrative and a creative work, I believe Star Wars is unique and distinctive. I believe that Star Wars is now in an unfinished state, and will more than likely remain so forever, but my anti-Disney tirades can go in another post.

The series had 5 seasons conventionally constructed, intentionally sequenced and released weekly on television, and 1 season released in bulk on a streaming service, Netflix. Altogether, this covers 121 episodes of the series released before Disney's interference.

However, this is not all of the information we have. You'll notice that, next to every single episode title, there is a sequence of two numbers. This sequence is that episode's production code; the first digit is the production block, while the next two digits are the episode's particular order within the production block. This information is more pertinent for a look at the series from a production standpoint, so here is that information put together:

BLOCK 1 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 1 and 2.

1.02 - "Downfall of a Droid" (S1E6) 1.05 - "Bombad Jedi" (S1E8) 1.06 - "Duel of the Droids" (S1E7) 1.07 - "Rising Malevolence" (S1E2) 1.08 - "Ambush" (S1E1) 1.09 - "Shadow of Malevolence" (S1E3) 1.10 - "Cloak of Darkness" (S1E9) 1.11 - "Destroy Malevolence" (S1E4) 1.12 - "Lair of Grievous" (S1E10) 1.13 - "Cargo of Doom" (S2E2) 1.14 - "Rookies" (S1E5) 1.15 - "Storm Over Ryloth" (S1E19) 1.16 - "Dooku Captured" (S1E11) 1.17 - "Innocents of Ryloth" (S1E20) 1.19 - "Liberty on Ryloth" (S1E21) 1.20 - "The Gungan General" (S1E12) 1.21 - "Voyage of Temptation" (S2E13) 1.22 - "Jedi Crash" (S1E13) 1.23 - "Holocron Heist" (S2E1) 1.24 - "Defenders of Peace" (S1E14) 1.25 - "Trespass" (S1E15) 1.26 - "Blue Shadow Virus" (S1E17)

BLOCK 2 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 1, 2, and 3, tied with Block 4 for the most seasons within a single block.

BLOCK 4 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 4, 5, and 6, tied with Block 2 for the most seasons within a single block.

4.01 - "Plan of Dissent" (S4E9) 4.02 - "Carnage of Krell" (S4E10) 4.03 - "Kidnapped" (S4E11) 4.04 - "Slaves of the Republic" (S4E12) 4.05 - "Escape from Kadavo" (S4E13) 4.06 - "A Friend in Need" (S4E14) 4.07 - "Deception" (S4E15) 4.08 - "Friends and Enemies" (S4E16) 4.09 - "The Box" (S4E17) 4.10 - "Crisis on Naboo" (S4E18) 4.11 - "Massacre" (S4E19) 4.12 - "Bounty" (S4E20) 4.13 - "Brothers" (S4E21) 4.14 - "Revenge" (S4E22) 4.15 - "A War on Two Fronts" (S5E2) 4.16 - "Front Runners" (S5E3) 4.17 - "The Soft War" (S5E4) 4.18 - "Tipping Points" (S5E5) 4.19 - "An Old Friend" (S6E5) 4.20 - "The Rise of Clovis" (S6E6) 4.21 - "Crisis at the Heart" (S6E7) 4.22 - "The Gathering" (S5E6) 4.23 - "A Test of Strength" (S5E7) 4.24 - "Bound for Rescue" (S5E8) 4.25 - "A Necessary Bond" (S5E9) 4.26 - "Revival" (S5E1)

BLOCK 5 - This block contains episodes from Seasons 5 and 6.

5.01 - "Eminence" (S5E14) 5.02 - "Shades of Reason" (S5E15) 5.03 - "The Lawless" (S5E16) 5.04 - "Secret Weapons" (S5E10) 5.05 - "A Sunny Day in the Void" (S5E11) 5.06 - "Missing in Action" (S5E12) 5.07 - "Point of No Return" (S5E13) 5.08 - "Sabotage" (S5E17) 5.09 - "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much" (S5E18) 5.10 - "To Catch a Jedi" (S5E19) 5.11 - "The Wrong Jedi" (S5E20) 5.12 - "The Unknown" (S6E1) 5.13 - "Conspiracy" (S6E2) 5.14 - "Fugitive" (S6E3) 5.15 - "Orders" (S6E4) 5.16 - "The Disappeared, Part I" (S6E8) 5.17 - "The Disappeared, Part II" (S6E9) 5.18 - "The Lost One" (S6E10) 5.19 - "Voices" (S6E11) 5.20 - "Destiny" (S6E12) 5.21 - "Sacrifice" (S6E13)

Looking at this list, gaps are plainly evident. 1.01, 1.03, 1.04, and 1.18 are all missing, and Block 5 is 5 episodes shorter than the previous 4 blocks. Where are these episodes?

The missing episodes from Block 1 are easy; they were cannibalized and stitched together to make the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film. The film is 98 minutes long, while episodes of the series are typically around 22 minutes long; 22 minutes per episode times 4 episodes is 88 minutes total runtime, 10 minutes short of the film's runtime. Those 10 minutes are likely the credits and polishing for the film's theatrical release, if not simply the episodes themselves being slightly longer.

Therefore, we can add these to the list:

1.01 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM) 1.03 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM) 1.04 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM) 1.18 - The Clone Wars Film (FILM)

This resolves the issue of the missing episodes from Block 1, meaning that all of the episodes produced before 5.22 were released. This gives us a total of 125 episodes. But what about Episode 5.22 and the rest of Block 5?

This is where the trail gets murky. Fans of the series who were around when it was cancelled may recall The Clone Wars Legacy, the plan to release content from the series in different means in order to not waste the work that went into it. Some may think that this simplifies things. In fact, it does the opposite.

Here is a list of all the content from The Clone Wars Legacy:

Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir, a comic adapting a 4-episode arc covering Darth Maul's story after getting captured by Darth Sidious at the end of "The Lawless", released by Dark Horse Comics.

Dark Disciple, a novel adapting either an 8-episode arc or two related 4-episode arcs covering Asajj Ventress' story after her last appearance in "The Wrong Jedi".

Crystal Crisis on Utapau, a rough story reel of incomplete episodes of a 4-episode arc, covering the emotional fallout of Ahsoka's departure from the Jedi Order after the events of "The Wrong Jedi".

The Bad Batch, a rough story reel of incomplete episodes of a 4-episode arc, intending to work as a backdoor pilot of sorts to a spin-off series focusing on the titular Bad Batch.

Those keeping track of the numbers will quickly spot that we have the content of 20 episodes released as The Clone Wars Legacy. This does not easily fill in the gaps we have, nor does it finish things off neatly.

The production codes of the original episodes adapted into the material for The Clone Wars Legacy are known. The production codes of the in-production 20 episodes are listed below:

BLOCK 6 - This block has 16 known episodes.

6.01 - "A Death on Utapau" (REEL) 6.02 - "In Search of the Crystal" (REEL) 6.03 - "Crystal Crisis" (REEL) 6.04 - "The Big Bang" (REEL) 6.09 - "The Bad Batch" (REEL) 6.10 - "A Distant Echo" (REEL) 6.11 - "On the Wings of Keeradaks" (REEL) 6.12 - "Unfinished Business" (REEL) 6.13 - "Lethal Alliance" (BOOK) 6.14 - "The Mission" (BOOK) 6.15 - "Conspirators" (BOOK) 6.16 - "Dark Disciple" (BOOK) 6.21 - "The Enemy of My Enemy" (BOOK) 6.22 - "A Tale of Two Apprentices" (BOOK) 6.23 - "Proxy War" (BOOK) 6.24 - "Showdown on Dathomir" (BOOK)

BLOCK 7 - This block has 4 known episodes.

7.05 - "Saving Vos, Part I" (BOOK) 7.06 - "Saving Vos, Part II" (BOOK) 7.07 - "Traitor" (BOOK) 7.08 - "The Path" (BOOK)

While we can add these to the list of produced episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, this raises more questions than answers. Not only was there a Block 6, but there was also a Block 7 as well. Block 7 is nearly entirely unknown, while Block 6 also has gaps, and, to top it all off, none of the things we gain from this are in Block 5, meaning those episodes are still unknown as well.

However, we do gain one answer from this: the production blocks got shorter. The last episode of Block 6 is 6.24, not 6.26 as one might expect from Blocks past. This makes Block 5's gap a little more clear-cut; it means we're only missing 5.22 through 5.24. That's 3 episodes, a common arc length. If Block 5 was as long as the other blocks, that would be 5 episodes missing, which could be either a 4-episode arc and a standalone episode, or a 2-episode arc and a 3-episode arc. All still common arc lengths, but not as clear-cut.

Of course, there's no definitive proof that the blocks got shorter. It's possible there'a 5.25 and 5.26 and a 6.25 and a 6.26. That would be a 2-episode arc missing from Block 6, as well.

The only "proof" I have seen stating that the blocks got shorter, besides the lack of trails for a theoretical 6.25 and 6.26 confirming that Block 6 remained the same length, and therefore Block 5 must have, as well, is a statement by Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter, stating that there is no 5.25 or 5.26. I do not know where he gets his information from, and his relationship with Lucasfilm is murky to me, so I'm hesitant to just accept it as fact. There's also the fact that he could be lying to cover Lucasfilm and/or Disney for the sake of money and employment.

This is not an allegation or a statement of belief, merely an acknowledgement of possibility.

However, the production blocks do seem to be 26 episodes long specifically just to cover the film initially, which leaves 22 episodes for the regular season; since Season 5 definitively got reduced by 2 episodes, it's entirely possible that the production blocks did also get reduced by 2 episodes, and the new season length merely reflects this.

All this does is muddy the waters, however. Without solid answers, we've got next to nothing to go on.

Except Disney.

Of course, Disney resurrected the rotting corpse of Star Wars: The Clone Wars to be completely sure that the money well within was completely dry, before discarding it and moving on to whatever live action thing they're working on now. These episodes do, however, give us some information. Listed below are the episodes Disney released:

BLOCK 6

6.05 - "Gone with a Trace" (DISNEY) 6.06 - "Deal No Deal" (DISNEY) 6.07 - "Dangerous Debt" (DISNEY) 6.08 - "Together Again" (DISNEY)

BLOCK 7 7.21 - "Old Friends Not Forgotten" (DISNEY) 7.22 - "The Phantom Apprentice" (DISNEY) 7.23 - "Shattered" (DISNEY) 7.24 - "Victory and Death" (DISNEY)

While these episodes have been "adapted" (read: scrubbed and censored) by Disney, the fact that they continue to use the original production codes leads me to believe that these episodes originated as original episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. However, they've been written or additionally written by Dave Filoni, who, aside from assisting with one episode ("Lethal Trackdown", S2E22, 2.20), was not a writer on the series until after Disney bought the property; he was a director. This tells me that the direction he took the episodes in was not their originally intended direction, but rather, the Disney-approved direction given to him. This says, to me, that we cannot pull any information from these episodes besides possibly basic premises, as these are not the original episodes with renewed production, but new "adaptations" of what was being produced when the series was cancelled.

However, this does give us new information, in telling us that the final episodes of Block 7 were the finale of the series. This feels too large of a fact to be new or changed; I feel that, while the content and direction of 7.21 through 7.24 may have changed, them being the series finale is just too big of a basic premise to ignore or change. If it isn't, then why make those episodes the finale of the revived series? Why not 7.01 through 7.04, or invent new numbers in 6.25 through 6.28?

Therefore, going off that conclusion, we have a solid ending point: 7.24, the end of the final production block, Block 7.

This also supports the idea that the production blocks get shorter with Block 5, as, while 5.24 is not known, both 6.24 and 7.24 seem to be the end of their blocks.

Therefore, with all this information, I feel we can see a basic roadmap of where Star Wars: The Clone Wars was going to go, and what Disney took from us. Looking at a list of the production blocks:

Block 1: 26 episodes Block 2: 26 episodes Block 3: 26 episodes Block 4: 26 episodes Block 5: 24 episodes Block 6: 24 episodes Block 7: 24 episodes

If all information is correct, this means LucasFilm were planning on producing 176 episodes of the series. Looking at a list of the released episodes before the buyout:

Season 1: 22 episodes Season 2: 22 episodes Season 3: 22 episodes Season 4: 22 episodes Season 5: 20 episodes Season 6: 13 episodes

This means that LucasFilm released 121 of their ostensibly planned 176 episodes. Adding the 4 episodes used for the film gives us 125.

Subtracting these two gives us a figure of 51 episodes remaining. These 51 episodes were likely in various stages of completion when the buyout occurred.

Looking at the seasons, Season 6 is not constructed like the rest, but rather, a bulk release of product. Assuming that Season 5 was intended to be the new model going forward, we can subtract 7 of those 51 unreleased episodes to round out Season 6 to it's intended length of 20 episodes.

This leaves us with 44 episodes. Divide that by 2, and you get 22 episodes. 22 episodes for a theoretical Season 7 and a theoretical Season 8.

Out of the 51 episodes not completed and released by LucasFilm, 28 have been adapted and released via other means. This leaves at least 23 episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars about which we know absolutely nothing, listed below:

5.22 5.23 5.24 6.17 6.18 6.19 6.20 7.01 7.02 7.03 7.04 7.09 7.10 7.11 7.12 7.13 7.14 7.15 7.16 7.17 7.18 7.19 7.20

These include a 3-episode arc from Block 5, a 4-episode arc from Blocks 6 and 7, and almost the entirety of the middle of Block 7.

These numbers are not solid. It's possible that Blocks 5 through 7 were intended to be 26 episodes as all the others were. That would add 6 episodes, for 182 planned episodes, and 57 uncompleted, about which we know nothing about 29 of them.

It's possible that Seasons 5 and 6 were intended to be 22 episodes as all the other seasons were, and things simply didn't work out that way. This would mean 11 episodes would be needed to round out the seasons, rather than 0 for Season 5 and 7 for Season 6.

This could leave us with 40 or 42 episodes to divide between a theoretical Season 7 and 8. 2 seasons of 20 episodes, or a season of 20 and a season of 22.

There are many possibilities, wrapped in shadows and behind closed doors, regarding this series. We will likely never know the facts, simply because the facts are nebulous and were not, nor ever will be, solidified.

But we can know for sure is that the original intended versions of Blocks 6 and 7, plus the final 3 episodes of Block 5, will likely never be finished, and that we have lost George Lucas' original vision for this series. Those 51 episodes, while potentially getting adapted, will never be released or even completed the way they were originally intended.

(Although George Lucas has stated previously that Star Wars is "like poetry, it rhymes", this series does seem to be lacking in rhyming. Production blocks and season lengths both change midway through, and there seems to have been intended 8 seasons, which is annoyingly only 1 short from matching the intended number of Star Wars movies: 9.)

This is a tremendous shame, because Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a fantastic series which lovingly and accurately adapts a big-screen property for the small screen, tells a dense, varied, but cohesive story, and expands the universe that so many of us have loved since 1977.

We wanted to know about the Clone Wars since that time, and we finally got it. While we may never see the original, epic conclusion, we should still be grateful for 6 seasons of wonderful television.

This post was typed listening to the theme for Star Wars: The Clone Wars on repeat for about 3 hours. As stated at the top, all information is publicly and freely available on Wikipedia.

Thanks for reading.

I don’t do this super often, but when I was 13ish I spent hours thinking about Percy and Annabeth’s future house. Idk why. And I wrote out their magical house in an iPhone note. I updated it every so often for a couple years, but as an adult I leave it alone as a monument to my childhood and my OTP.

But I just saw a really cool themed house from that home tours blog (it was pirate themed!) and wanted to share my ‘home tour’.

Please keep in mind the following was written mostly in 2014 by a young teen who made some shit up. So some of it may not be canonly possible now/never was a thing

Percy and Annabeth's underwater cave house

Front entrance: dead tree on edge of Chase cliff. Whisper Jackson, and a slide that can take you up and down using antigravity and gravity leads to the house. You can notice tiny little jewels all over the house, enchanted for anti monster.

First level hallway: kitchen, dining room with conveyer belt leading between, gym, living room, bathroom. This is the second lowest level. The rest of the floors also have the slides to get there.

Kitchen has a large island, with lots of counters and cabinets. The walls are turquoise and everything else is chrome grey, like the fridge and such.

Dining room as a chandelier of rainbows, with a mini fountain that spurts any drink you ask for is in the middle of a ring table that could fit 16. If you give a coin, it can create an iris message. The table is silver grey wood while the wall is also turquoise.

The gym is just a mini work out area. Not decorated.

The living room is decorated with pictures of their friends. It has silvery gray walls, blue furniture, and a ten ft by ten ft tv. The dead tree actually has many minisatelites disguised as moss. They are enchanted to actually literally grow.

Third lowest level

Party room twelve guest rooms with their own bathrooms

,library.

Party room is just a blue room with food slide from the kitchen, some rables, and a disco ball with a wooden track around the large room for skating. Percy, with help from a friendly kid of Boreas, sometimes turn it into a winter wonderland in the summer.

Spare room 1

Frank n Hazels room usually, or will be when they start doing stuff. Green painted with gold furniture pretty much describes their rooms

Spare room 2

Will and nicos room usually. Black and silver furniture with gold walls

Spare room 3

Rachel's room Murals and a rainbow everywhere. Every surface is painted. Wicker/newspaper/hodgepodge furniture everywhere

Spare room 4

Piper and Jason's walls are red, and furniture is purple and pink. Actually looks nice and not too girly

Spare room 5

Calypso and Leo's room, done in red and oranges. Ps all the rooms had a small window like the ones in the hobbit

Spare room 6.

Hedge and Mellies room, with cradle. Everything is in light blues and dark greens

Spare room 7

Reyna's and future partner's room

Purple walls with gold and silver looking furniture, and 2 dog beds for aurum and argentum

The rest are kids rooms/ unplanned for when the guests have kids. They are plain. The last is a sort of playroom, with same size tv (everyone has a 2 by 3 tv in room)

Top level

Percabeth's room, future kids room(4), mrs. O'Leary's room, the offices, window room, carport, and percy and Annabeth's iwn offices

Future kids rooms are in pastel blue, yellow, green and orange

Mrs. O'Leary's room is giant, with lots of rubber yaks and other toys, and bowls filled with food and water always (they refill themselves). Done in red and silver. with special portal just for her and her owners to go out to Central Park.

Carport is just a garage that has a magical door that allows car to go through tree portel.

Lowest level

Garden and port and demigod Runaway shelter

Port is this giant cave, hidden by the mist to look like a cliff face that makes mortals just suddenly think about other things to do. It opens up to the sea, and they have this great boat called the sea owl, with eyes on the front. It also has a submarine, a small seaplane, and an elevator that goes to two portals to Olympus, and Atlantis. Has automatic spell where you have the small air bubble around you and your stuff. is painted on by enormous mural by Rachel.

Garden

Fruit trees that make all fruits (a rare tree called a cornucopia tree) lots of flowers and a gazebo. Painted and lighted to look like the outside that day. In middle there is a five-tiered fountain that sprays a rainbow. First level is made of Stygian iron, then celestial bronze, then Atlantean silver, imperial gold, and then heavenly steel that has a little dirt in it with a blue stemmed silver First Orchid. Has imported bees

Demigod safe base

A special Door that opens only to demigods and their helpers. and only let's demigods in leads you to the shelter. It has an ambrosia and nectar fountain, a water fountain that could turn to rainbows, free drachmas sent from the gods (only those in need can grab them), and ten beds with heated blankets. Small altar. Fridge full of ever re supplying food. Cabinet full of whatever medical stuff you need. Door that leads to Percabeth house, but only opens when you have permission.

I'm thinking again about the Jedi leaving the Galactic Alliance at the end of FotJ, and how it's implied that they're making up for the loss of the potential GA resources while remaining politically autonomous as an Order by taking advantage of Tenel Ka's sympathies for the Jedi. Shedu Maad is right there in the Mists, and in the random short story of Jaina and Jag's honeymoon they mention that their doubles had to take their place in negotiations on Hapes so they'd have a few days to spare for it.

I still maintain that the Jedi serve their purpose best if the Order as an institution isn't under the authority of any centralized government (though I don't think they should be above the law as individuals) but the relationship to the Hapans here is its own can of worms.

I haven't read Courtship or whatever, and I've learned my lesson about what happens if I trust Wookieepedia or YouTube for this stuff, but didn't the Hapans originally have some kind of longstanding cultural grudge against the Jedi? Something to do with the pirate group that evolved into the Consortium having been beaten a few thousand years ago by the Jedi? I don't know exactly what the deal was there, but in any case I can see how the Jedi might have improved their reputation among the inhabitants of the Hapes Cluster in the post-Endor period, especially since the final battle of the Second Galactic Civil War was also legitimately an Alliance invasion of the Consortium. Even that can't have changed everyone's minds, though.

Also, like. Hapes is a pretty fucked-up place. Tenel Ka's a monarch, so her opinions and sympathies carry a lot more weight than they would if they were held by the Chief of State of the Galactic Alliance. Sometimes it seems like assassination is the default way for Hapan nobles to disagree with each other, and there's also the heavily institutionalized sex discrimination. I think she's doing the best she can within the system, but the system has problems.

The issue is: Should the Jedi make some kind of effort to change any of that system? How much opposition does Tenel Ka get just because of the Hapan grudge against the Jedi, at first because she's a former Jedi and then because she's giving them a planet that's technically in the Consortium? If she regularly had other Jedi operating openly in the core of their territory, would that make that worse? Is Tenel Ka making life some value of better for the average citizen of the Consortium, enough that the Jedi can believe she's satisfactorily aligned with their goals? Do some of the nobles think of her as a puppet for the Jedi?

I have SO MANY QUESTIONS.

In any case, I'm sure the resources the Jedi would ask for are barely a rounding error compared to the economic capacity required for the Hapans to contribute twenty percent of the Galactic Alliance's navy, on top of their home fleet, in LotF.

The inability of the rest of the galaxy to find Shedu Maad, hidden as it is from sensors in the Transitory Mists, won't help if a hostile Hapan faction thinks it can get away with attacking the Jedi. They have to know how to navigate the Mists much better than any other group. I'm sure the planet itself is heavily fortified, at least in terms of multiple layers of full-coverage planetary shields, local shielding for the temple itself, and dozens or hundreds of surface-based anti-orbital cannons, the entire thing powered by multiple battleship-scale reactors.

It being located in the Transitory Mists also means it's cut off from all forms of interstellar communication, which is helpful for neutralizing a homing beacon, but not really good for receiving requests for the assistance of the Jedi. I have to assume there are holonet relays outside the Mists that send point-to-point signals along the hyperlanes that lead to the Maad system, or something like that.

PART IX

notes | part i | previous part | poll winner: “Yes. It said I was not dead, yet.”

“Yes. It said I was not dead, yet.”

He regards you for a moment, and then reaches out, plucking at your skin. You feel nothing as he peels away a long strip, look down to be met with the sight of one of your open wounds, more shrivelled, dried now. “Look pretty dead to me,” he remarks, flicking the necrotic tissue into the water behind you both.

“I— No. It said that I was dying. That it had not had “one like me” for a long time.” You stare at the back of the skeleton, but if it knows anything of your conversation, it gives no indication that that is the case. “I do not understand.”

He pats your hand sympathetically. “Taking it harder that I’d thought, eh? What’s the last thing you remember?”

“I was torn apart by wolves,” you say, half in a daze and only belatedly realising how odd the words sound in context. “I was— I was still alive. I crawled into a chest, and…” You shake your head, but your arms start to prickle and you glance over.

A face hidden in shadow turns away again before you can see who it was, but you fall silent anyway.

“You’ll get used to it,” says your cheery new friend, and the boat slows to a dead stop. You count the still bodies in the boat — four, from what you can tell, although mist and shadows make it difficult. The skeleton’s smooth movements make it three, and it spares you not a glance. Perhaps you did just make it up. You cannot be quite so sure as you were only… hours ago? Days?

Your friend is talking again, and you blink and make more of an effort to listen to his story.

“...and so he goes, ‘Mince—’ Yeah, that’s me, right?— ‘Mince, stop yourself before you get yourself into a kicker and listen to what you’re told.’ But I’ve a wife and six little ones and I can’t just be throwing away good money like that, so away I go anyways. Made it back out of that one only to find that they hadn’t made it through the plague, and I guess I was lucky in that regard but still— maybe I’ll see them again down here.”

His coolness at your situation starts to make sense in your head, and you nod, but something sticks out oddly. “The plague?”

“What?”

“You said— I apologise for my bluntness, but said your family succumbed to a plague?”

There’s a silence for a good few seconds, and you shift slightly. “Been living under a rock, you?”

“No.” Arguably yes, but you do not feel ready to explain your circumstances yet. Mince seems kind enough and it is a ray of sunshine in this dismal place, but that means little.

“The plague. The sickness. Nobody dropped dead down your end, no?”

“The—” Something clicks and you curse yourself for your obtuseness. “The magick?”

“Ah, right, aye. You’re one of they nutters that thinks magic is the root of all evil, aren’t you? Nah, I’m living — or not living — proof that that’s not real. Wife never had a drop of magic in her, and six weans aren’t going to be hiding that very easily without burning the house down. Just a sickness, love. These things happen.”

His voice is so steady and assured that you would feel like a fool if he wasn’t so kind about it. “Oh,” is all you say, and then rather deflatedly, “I was always told it was magical.”

“Nah.” Mince winks, grinning conspiratorially. “But for someone so anti-magic, seems you’re all too happy to believe in it if you’re a magical undead in the afterlife, no?”

There are eyes on you again — you are not brave enough to face them, and so keep your own gaze steadily on Mince. Another person is awoken — by your estimate, there are only two more left drifting. “It said that if I wanted to go back to the shore it would take me.”

“I see,” he says, clearly not seeing, but his smile is still soft. “And what would happen then?”

“Their souls,” you gesture, “wouldn’t be collected.”

He regards you. “Ask, then.”

You hesitate.

[before you vote, please consider reblogging for more contributions on the polls! much love <3]

During the marriage of King Malleus and Queen Alice, a historical event happened in the Kingdom of Briar Valley. An army of individuals invaded the Kingdom and rampaged the homes of the fae. The leader of this group declared a war and disappeared into the mist, gathering their soldiers together and waiting for the battle to commence.

Panic spent through Briar Valley, asking their king and queen on what they should do. The enemy has anti-magic and iron equipment at their fingertips, every possible weakness the fae have was right in the enemy's hand.

The soldiers of the Kingdom were prepared for the battle and told losing wasn't option while the Queen had a plan. With the help of two knights, Alice disguised herself as the enemy's soldiers and earned the trust of the leader through painstaking patience and self-control.

The knights taught her how to fight and deceit the leader. The King and the rest of the castle didn't know what the Queen was doing, the reckless and dangerous actions she was taking.

Malleus questioned his wife on what or where she has been during this stressful time, always getting the answer, "I need you to trust me, no matter what."

The day of the war commence, however, soldiers snuck into the castle and captured the royalties. Iron and anti-magic chains were placed on them and kneeled in front of the castle. Alice, with the help of the two knights, escaped the invasion and crafted a plan to rescue their families.

The three created a dummy with illusion magic to trick the leader into thinking they found her, making it easy to keep herself hidden. Alice adorned her disguise and joined the leader in his speech, secretly puppeteering the dummy as he dragged it up front.

He questioned her on how could she side with fairies, they don't respect other races and see us below them, didn't you see what Malleus did in Night Raven.

She answered with harshness before the leader grew furious and beheaded the dummy. Her heart stopped at the sight as Malleus saw nothing but red. He yelled and screamed, throwing threats after threats when the leader was stabbed in the throat and paralyzed by one of his soldiers.

The soldiers attacked the betrayer and got ambushed by hidden knights, taking them down with poison tipped blades. The betrayer approached the King and untied him, telling him to lead everyone to safety and stay there until the battle was over. "Keep our people safe, Firefly."

The Queen of Briar Valley and her trusted knights fought and freed the people of their Kingdom, winning the battle in less than a week. The knights walked her back to the castle where the King and elder Queen questioned this enemy soldier just for her to remove her helmet and reveal her plan.

How she snuck into the enemy's army and disguised one of them to earn their trust, crafting a dummy to play as herself, finding the enemy's ambush points, adding poison to the blades of their knights and soldiers. She had every chess pieces and placed them in its needed spot.

Then she collapsed from exhaustion.

She woke in her former bedroom and got lectured by her in-law on how reckless she was, how she could have been caught or killed by the enemy or them. However, despite the risky plan, she did save the Kingdom and thanked her for the bravery she displayed.

Malleus felt betrayed and hurt, eventually visiting her to talk. She apologized to her husband for not telling him. She explained she knew he wouldn't allow it if she told him, but then stopped herself and said she wanted to prove herself to the Kingdom, to show she's worthy to be their Queen.

"I'm sorry for scaring and worrying you, Malleus. I guess old habits are hard to break along with insecurities. I promise I wouldn't do it again, not without telling you first."

He was angry and upset, but what he wanted the most in that moment was to hold her close. He spent the night holding her in his arms and kissing her tearstained face.

Meetings on the state of the Kingdom, what to do with the leader and his followers, and the Queen's injuries became a regular occurrence. Malleus grew tired and impatient with the frequent meetings, dreaming of cuddling his wife and staying in bed with her.

It took a few weeks for the Queen to attend the meetings and give her thoughts to the court. The King felt restless when she attended. Maybe it's because his wife is a strong individual that achieved more than the court expected from her. Maybe it's because she did the unthinkable and crafted a risky plan to save Briar Valley.

Either way, he couldn't sit here for another second. He dragged his wife out of the courtroom before it officially finish and spent the night together in their bedchamber, rewarding her for being an outstanding queen.

(That was the night Lance was made XD )

Pyanfar's Tranquil Evening (Pride of Chanur Fan Fiction)

The airlock hissed closed behind her as the silken tufts at her tail’s extremity whipped out of harm’s way, a semi-autonomous entity toying with its own demise. That sound - so soft and yet so distinct - brought a special relief, assurance, finally, of solitude. Pyanfar felt her shoulders slump forward like those of sullen Mahi deck lingerer - Gods, she thought, if Hilfy were to see me now she might well throw every stern word I’ve ever said to her out with the next expulsion.

She thought of galactic garbage because one such deposit was, at this moment, making its way past a crescent shaped void. Little pieces of engineering waste glinted in the darkness as they dispersed. She’d cut out this crescent moon from an old vulcanised fibre sheet and stuck it against the inch of plexi-glass between her room, her space - and the space outside. This window decoration, among other personalised features of Pyanfar’s quarters betrayed a much gentler, and perhaps more idealistic self than the hardnose pragmatist her days and nights uniformed on deck required.

There was the diamond shaped container of a red neon goo that, when heated, would bounce, break and mould with the rest of itself in a soothing tide. This thing, a ‘lava lamp,’ the human had called it, was so quaint, so trivial in it’s essential proposition and yet, Pyanfar found it amazing and could lose herself for hours at a time, gazing happily in the knowledge that there was no hidden motivation. Just a gentle ebb and flow.

She liked to flick her pointed ears lazily back and forth, pausing as her pendant pearl earring teetered and fell onto the other side. She removed her gold arm band and laid it down on the small surface, beside the room’s central control unit.

“Yes,” she sighed. “Time for some luxuriant tech…”

“Relaxing mist,” She almost whispered after activating the voice command system. And soon, a light blanket of mist rippled in anti-gravity relation with the roof. It was time now for a drink - “something to take the edge off” she enacted for herself. How fun it was to play! Perhaps she could allow herself another ridiculous human artefact she’d whisked away from the mistaken cargo collection in the hold. What had Tully called it? Ah yes, a ‘martini’ glass.

Despite its gaudy appearance, this vessel was actually very convenient for her tightly curled claws. The delicate glass stem sat nicely between her knuckles. She liked to let it droop before squeezing and arcing it back to equilibrium. But that awful transparent mixture with the green pellet - that was where the role play ended.

Pyanfar poured herself a half strength rum and coke, swirling the glass as she went so as to flatten the cola to her liking. One led to seven, and quite soon, Pyanfar was feeling pure impulse. She ran her red gold mane up against the arm of her ottoman, pushed up and cleared the top of it, then slowly slid head first down the other side, coming to rest in a glorious pile beside the platinum claw shaped foot that glinted and mimicked her own. Pyanfar brought hers over it. “More mist…” She whispered.

“More mist!” She called out this time. “I love me a space room full of mist…”

I have had many “WIP’s” laying about in my Drafts that I will never finish, but I am considering posting about Kirigakure (hidden mist) and my Oc’s.

As of now, Ill probably begin sporadically posting. Maybe art as well. It will all be Personal Au content.

Just a heads up to my followers, and newcomers alike:

- I am transmasc. I use He/They. Anti lgbtq, racist, ableist, etcetera content will not be allowed on this page.

- I am a Sakura defender, don’t like? You can leave.

- Lots of “controversial” takes, here. Be warned.

- Most likely a Hoshigaki-centric page tbh.

- ANTI PROSHIP. If you ship weird shit like Kakas*ku get off my page i don’t want you here.

- I do not like Borusara, Naruhina, and a couple other ships, but so long as the ship is Legal, I do not condone ship-bashing.

- Asks are open.

- I am a Minor. Don’t send me Nsfw things.

The story of being human

(basically I can't draw anthro and decided to come up with an in-universe explanation as to why I draw turtles as humans) (set in spring/early summer 2022) (2407 words)

[relevant pronoun guide (headcanon):

Donnie - they/them

Mikey - he/she/they + fire as neo

Raph - varying from he/him to they/she depending on the day + red as neo

Casey Junior - any traditional pronouns + life and time as neos

Leo - he/him

April - she/they

S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. - it/its

Splinter - he/him

Todd - he/him

Casey Senior - she/it

Sunita - she/they/it]

°°°

Even though it pained them to admit it, Donatello actually found alchemy fascinating. There was just something in it, in the fact that it was structured, like their beloved science, yet raw and unbridled, akin to all other mystics.

So, when Angelo decided to study his mystic powers with ✨𝓹𝓻𝓸𝓯𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓼✨, they readily followed their littlest sibling to the Hidden City. That had been less than two years ago, but they'd both made a lot of progress in their respective fields. Mikey, for example, learned to float, and tried to annoy Raph by being "taller than him", but... he just asked her for head pats (it turned pretty depressing when it turned out that red has never experienced the heavenly head pats, even when he was small, since they'd already outgrown Splinter and April by the time those were discovered, and Mikey promptly decided to make up for all the lost time).

The results of Donnie's apprenticeship were much more interesting, though. Because after they were done with all the basic minerals and crystals, the healing potions, making of the mystic weapons (!!) and anti-ageing potions (reverse, which they'd promptly given Splinter and preventive, which after some consideration and advice from Casey Junior went to Mikey), they were allowed to experiment on their own.

Naturally, they went and decided to come up with anti-mutagen. And the first step to anti-mutagen is mutagen, for which they could have gone to Draxum for help (they didn't) but couldn't use his notes, because, well... they didn't exist anymore. So, research from scratch it was. Naturally, the whole "mission" did not lack in funny occurrences - like, for example, the time their prototype turned CJ into a kitten for a few weeks, and though it was a case of the mutagen itself being non-permanent, Junior still has the ability to purr and cat ears that pop up when it's emotional to show for it. The next batch had Mikey and Raph both end up with actual, human hair, which Leo was very jealous of, but they were forbidden from further testing it on him, so... Another incident, though less funny and more happy, was when they'd accidentally mutated S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. into a cyborg. April was the one helping out at the time, and somehow it ended up with her genetics, not Donnie's, so apparently they're co-parents now, since that batch was permanent. After that though, they finally reached something similar enough to the original that one antidote would work for both, and really, anti-mutagen wasn't very complicated from then on (this one they tested on Repo-Mantis' cat, since Mikey has wanted to steal it - provided they were successful - ever since Junior was back in times own body).

And, well, they were successful. So, Mikey now has a cat (newly named Ikki, after the Avatar character), Splinter has his human body back, and Todd has a sample he can use whenever he wants.

And everything is great. Except the fact that their notes have been stolen. Well, there goes the happy ending. For the past two-or-so weeks they've been going around, trying to figure out who was behind the crime. With no clues and still no clue.

Until. The six of them (that is, turtles, April and Junior) were camping out on a roof, watching out for Meat Sweats, when a mist appeared around the pig mutant and... knocked him out?

"Well, that's weird." April announced in a tone of someone who just spent fifteen hour straight babysitting a bunch of kids and can't really be bothered by anything they do at this point (which to be fair isn't completely inacurate), but before anyone could say anything else, Mikey, ever the kind-hearted one, went down to check on their enemy. They all held their breaths, waiting for any sign from the youngest turtle, until

"He's passed out!" fire yelled "And looks like a normal pig! But I don't kno.." there was a thud. Those still gathered on the roof looked below, then at one another, gazes full of worry. April let out a sigh.

"That... that can't be good." Raph whispered, panic lacing their voice.

"Obviously." Leo fought the urge to roll his eyes. "The question is, what exactly is that"

"Well..." April bit her thumb slightly "It's a gas? That's something... Mikey said Swaggart looked a normal pig right now, didn't she? That would mean..."

"Gasp! My mutagen!" Donnie interrupted suddenly "Whoever stole it, they must have gassified and modified it into some sort of pro-mutagen!"

"So you're saying our little sibling is down there being mutated into god whats know and we're just sitting here!? Let's go!"

"Raphael dearest, we do know what Angelo is being mutated into. A human, of course." Donnie stated, while Leo pulled on their eldest siblings mask tails to stop them from jumping right down.

"So, uh, any ideas what now?" Leo asked no one in particular, and, once again, April was the first one to respond;

"Well, first of all, D, do you have any of the antidote with you?" the purple turtle nodded "Good. Now, I'm texting Cass and Suni to come and help out, since you three are also at risk... Three, right?" she asked after glancing at Junior, who was exceptionally pale - perhaps out of fear of being permanently changed into a cat.

"Yes, the solution that resulted in Catsey" Donnie made air quotations when they said the name "as all of you insist on calling it, was far too removed from the final product to activate it this way."

"Great! So, D, get the antidote out, please. One vial goes with Junior to fix Swaggart, and then you take Mikey home asap, because you're both still babies, plus we don't know how long the knock-out lasts."

"I'm not a baby though, I'll be 17 soon! That's old."

"You're not 17 yet, and you're the youngest here, hence, baby. Anyway. When the girls get here, Leo will go with Suni to Todd's to warn him, and slash or administer his dose if he's already been hit. Raph and Cass will get one vial and hunt down Bullhop, and Donnie will come with me and we'll deal with street annoyances. Got it?"

"That's not fair, why do I have to go to Todd while all of you get action?" Leo piped up with his hand raised.

"Because Sunita is not the physical type, so she's unlikely to keep up wirh wild-style-chases involving Bullhop, or be able to lift up Raph. And I'm taking D because I don't trust the rest of you - except maybe the baby squad" (here Junior hissed) "-with handling more than one vial." Leo looked like he wanted to argue further, but in the end he just shrugged.

"Fair enough, I suppose. Case, you don't need to wait on us. In fact, the sooner you get Mike home, the better, probably."

"Huh?.. Oh, okay.. Well, that's me out." with that Casey grabbed the provided vial, shot up a peace sign, and jumped down. Just like that.

"It never ceases to amaze me just how recklessly brave that kid is." April shook her head.

"Well, he had to loose that leg somehow" the cynical reply announced the arrival of Cassandra and Sunita, with the former being the one to speak "Hey guys."

"Hey Cass. Sunita." Raph greeted back, voice tight. "Shall we get going? The sooner we're done, the better"

"Don't you mean shell we get going?"

"Not funny, Leo." Raph grumbled before walking off "Let's find Bullhop."

"Cass.."

"Gotcha'. Lead the way big guy. I'll see the rest of you guys later" Cass shot a peace sign of her own, making everyone realize once again how similar she was to her future child (or rather how similar life was to her), which was still something no one managed to get used to.

"Okay, let's move everyone. C'mon D!" April took off towards another nearby roof, Donnie following closely. Leo looked at Sunita for a moment before making a move in the opposite direction.

"Let's get this over with, huh? We're on easy mode. Maybe we'll even get some lemonade to boot." he smiled at his temporary partner. Sunita blinked at his quick change in attitude and almost inappropriately chipper tone, but soon fell into step with the slider.

"So, I noticed we weren't given a portion of... whatever that is they were distributing... why?" Sunita asked after they've been walking in silence for give or take 15 minutes.

"Oh, Todd's already got some, we just need to make sure he takes it. Amyway, you seen any good movies recently? Wait, no, better question. Are you, April and Cass together? Because April won't say and we've got bets going."

"And, pray tell, why should I tell you if April doesn't?"

"I'll share my winnings if I got any?"

"Deal." they shook hands "We are dating. For nearly three months. What else could be bet on... Our first date as trio was cinema, April's been dating both of us before we dated each other - she and I were together for five months, and she's been with Casey for six and a half-" ("Yes!!") "- and she asked me out, but we were both asked out by Casey. I think that covers the bases?"

"It does, and we've got a hundred to split because no one else bet on there being a more than a month between a line forming and transforming into a triangle."

"Neat. So, what exactly were you betting on?"

"Well, we wanted to start with yes or no, but no one would bet on the no, so that was abandoned. Then we bet on how long it's been, price is right rules. Donnie won that one, he bet two and a half months. I bet five.. Then it was who got together first, which I honestly thought was you and Apes. That one is a split pot between Mikey and, again, Don. Raph bet with me and Junior bet you and Cass, strangely enough. But then again he only recognised the two of you as their moms, so I guess it kinda makes sense. Then we wanted to bet line to angle to triangle vs line to triangle, but again, everyone was on the same side, this time wrongly, so that also was scrapped, and then we bet on the time between couple slash trouple, again with price is right rules. I bet month and a half there, and the next closest was D, who bet three weeks, but I still won. That's it. And there were twenty bucks a person in all pots, so total of three hundreds in circulation... Aaand we're here. There's no mist..."

"But no Todd either, it seems. Unless you see him?"Sunita looked around, trying to find the man.

"Nope... just that suspiciously blonde capybara..." Leo stared for a moment "yea, thet's probably him."

"Great, let's give him the thingy and go back. It's kinda cold."

"Yeeeaaa... I think it should be in the med kit in the kitchee..." Sunita turned around when she heard the splash, finding Leo to be faceplanting in a nearby puddle. She went over, picked him up, placed him in a sitting position and went inside the house.

"Okay, med kit in the kitchen..." she murmured to herself as she walked "med kit in the kitchen... oh, here! bandaids, bug spray... anti-mutagen. Huh, convenient that it's labeled. Okay, no time to dwell. Give that to Todd, take Leo home."

She walked over to where the "suspiciously blonde capybara" was sitting, completely unbothered, and forced the conents of the bottle she'd found down its throat before walking back to Leo. She picked him up with a grunt and draped him over her shoulder, determined to get to the turtles' house (yes, house. Splinter bought one once he was human again) as quickly as possible.

It took her slightly longer than she would've liked, but she got Leo there with only hints of discolouration. Right in front of the door, she'd run into Casey with decidedly-not-green-anymore Raph slung over her shoulder. She shot them a panicked smile, whispering theatrically

"Let's get in fast, I don't feel like finding out whether they actually wear shorts." The yokai snorted at that, symphatising, and knocked on the door. To their surprise, the person who opened was neither Splinter nor Junior, and they panicked momentally, thinking they got the address wrong, until the unknown kid turned and called for Casey's help in getting the passed out duo inside. Yeah. The kid turned out to be Mikey. Sunita was honestly a bit surprised at their appearance - she'd expected east asian, but they seemed to be somewhat mixed (blasian, as humans say) - but she looked very good nonetheless. With the kids' help, both older soon-to-be-no-longer-turtles were taken into one of the bedrooms and promptly hidden under blankets to avoid anone seeing anything. Mikey then laid out some change of clothes and they left the room to await April and Donnie's return. And, talk over what happened;

"So, did you get Bullhop alright?" Casey adressed their mom first

"Kinda. We wandered into a mist, big guy passed out, I left... them? him?-"

"It's been they them recently, yes."

"Okay. I left them in a safe spot and went on alone. Couple minutes later I find a passed out bull, so I assumed it was the right one and got it over with, went back to Raph and came here. But you know, they're really freaking heavy, that one, even for me."

"Cool" Mikeys eyes looked like they had stars in them "What about you, Suni?"

"It was alright... we didn't find Todd, just a normal - well, suspiciously blonde - capybara, but thankfully Leo knew where the thing was. Weirdly though, there wasn't any mist there, and he still passed out."

"Maybe it's a residual effect?" CJ wondered, only to immedietely shrink into herself when everyone looked at him "You know, like those things that stay in the area? Th-the Kraang had a couple of bombs like that." with every word Casey seemed to become smaller and smaller, and only Aprils arrival saved them from disappearing completely.

"Everyone good?" she said right as she kicked the door open, carrying Donnie like a sack of potatoes. She was met with a variety of vaguely confirming noises, and that seemed to be good enough. "Alright." her shoulders sagged with clear relief "By their absence, I take it Raph and Leo have been hit?"

"Yeah, they're in the cuddle room." April nodded, and marched over to subject Donnie to the same procedure. The others looked after her until Sunita broke the silence;

"How do we think they'll look?
