“Servers Transformed, Notch's Dream, Dinner with Deerheart, Splender is Missing, Crim Sheds, Klareese the Mothwoman”
[CP] Has watched both Flux and Deer's appearances shift as the hours crawled by. Flux hadn't changed too much, her skin simply becoming more pale and not purple, almost like a porcelain doll. Deer however had changed a lot, her thick blades of hair had become as slender as any human's, and her antlers had dropped and almost completely vanished under her hair. He had to admit that he was a bit impressed at how aware both women were. At the current moment he and Flux were the only ones awake-
[Flux] - Why don't you get some sleep, you probably haven't for at least a few days...
[CP] - Can't, Lie has to sleep with me
[Flux] Frowns a little- Why?
[CP] - Why?- He scoffs and starts stalking towards Flux- Why?! Because if I sleep without her I see my initial removal all over again, an event you could have prevented
[Flux] - What are you saying?
[CP] - You could have stopped all of it, but instead you decided to stay distant which meant you couldn't make it in time to come to my aid
[Flux] - You think I didn't try? That other entity got to you before I did and prevented me from helping you
[CP] - Yes, a FASTER entity, and she wasn't even near when I was attacked
[Flux] - I had my reasons for keeping my distance
[CP] - Oh and what could those have been?
[Flux] - I did not wish to poison you or your brother with my magic, something your father risked every time he came near me
[CP] Growls- You put that minor risk over the safety of those on your seed!
[Deer] - That's enough CP! Stop taking your boredom out on her!- Deer had been awake for most of the conversation and had gotten fed up with CP's anger at the moment
[CP] - Oh shut up!
[Deer] - No, this may be your domain, but that doesn't mean you can act this way
[CP] Scowls before teleporting out of the bunker, needing to find something to kill to calm himself down-
-It's springtime outside and the woods are full of chirping birds and squirrels bustling around. There's a weird divot in the piled up dirt near the door though. It almost looks like something slammed into it. Though the impact was muffled by snow and frozen ground at the time-
[CP] - The fuck?- He goes down lower to investigate
-There's some staining and scoring on the concrete near the base where the dirt was scraped away. It looks like claw marks almost and the stains are black and oily looking-
[CP] - Maybe we shouldn't be using this bunker...
-Farther down the wall are some more scratches. The ones on the door are still visible, but it looks like a very large dog was pawing at the hinges and the lock side as well. -
[CP] - Well that's not good...- He floats upwards to see if there's anything else in the surrounding area
-There's something dark, that's either small or very far away soaring high in the clouds-
[CP] - Glances back at the bunker and debates whether to chase it or not. Deciding he'd rather not deal with Doc yelling at him, he decides to quickly kill a nearby deer before returning to the bunker
-There's a bit of rustling in the trees above-
[CP] Is quick to summon his sword-
-Some leaves drift serenely down in the filtered sunlight-
[CP] Cautiously moves through the trees-
-Something large takes off from a branch high above and there's the sound of vast wings-
[CP] Quickly looks up-
-The shape is black against the canopy and sky, it's a bit T-shaped, mostly wings.
[CP] - That's better not be that fucking mothwoman thing
-Bit of a happy squeak as it flies up in a loop, just enjoying the sun-
[CP] Tromps back towards the bunker-
[Klaarese] Notices him and buzzes low, letting her foot brush his hair as she swoops past with a burst of happy yellow thoughts-
[CP] - Fuck off!
[Klaarese] Lands gently and squeaks at him, cocking her head curiously-
[CP] - I've got enough to deal with right now
[Klaarese] Her thoughts are hard to read, but she's indicating that he should feel good because there's lots of energy here, she shows him a shimmering portal in the sky with waves of energy coming out of it.
[CP] - Don't care, I'm babysitting three entities who are turning physical
[Klaarese] Nods- green thoughts, good place to heal, something about mounds, an image of a window. And nasty red and olive thoughts, a warning, wolves.
[CP] - I can deal with wolves
[Klaarese] Eyes, question?
[CP] - Fucking Nether, what do you want?
[Klaarese] Looks towards the woods - Orange burst with purple, bekoning-
[CP] - Fine, whatever, only because I'm bored
[Klaarese] Nod nod- She walks a bit awkwardly, shuffling a bit like a penquin despite the length of her legs, but she leads him along and down a hill until a rise of dirt the height of his chest blocks the way. It's a wall of green covered dirt that vanishes into the trees on either side-
[CP] - It's a wall
[Klaarese] Shakes her torso since she has no neck- no - She jumps up on the rise and flaps her wings-
[CP] Sighs and floats up-
[Klaarese] Jumps straight up and and goes level with him and keeps climbing-
[CP] Follows her up-
[Klaarese] Above the cloud level theres a glassy orange portal the size of a house, the energy coming off of it feels chaotic and uninviting. But the mothwoman seems to bask in it. She makes tight circles, barely flapping her wings-
[CP] - Joy, this is gonna attract a lot of attention
[Klaarese] Motions that he should look down-
-Now that they're above, the 'wall' is more easily visible. It's a giant petroglyph made out of earth and winding through the trees. It's heavily stylized and vaguely catlike, but the tail is way too long.
[CP] - Oh for fucks sake not more cats
[Klaarese] Blue thoughts, literally deep water, and a roaring feral cat, and darkness, the thoughts are somehow slimy-
[CP] - No idea what that's supposed to mean
[Klaarese] Unknowable, blackness on the void. Claws and black sludge. Stay away at night-
[CP] - Stay inside at night?
[Klaarese] Big burst of white and gold, absolutely a yes.
[CP] - Alright alright, I won't wander at night. Now if you don't mind I have to get back to the others
[Klaarese] Happy squeak, lucky thoughts, friend, does a small loop in the air- indication that the portal will likely close once she's back through it.
[CP] - Why don't you just go bother the witch?
[Klaarese] little starbursts, probably laughter- She wheels gracefully away. Determined to enjoy the sun while it lasts -
[CP] Heads back to the bunker-
[Doc] Night fall outside and Doc returns with a merry greeting, a cake and a huge container of lemonade - the boys send their warmest regards. And Mb says go fuck yourselves, as usual. How's everyone holding up?
[Flux] - Well I suppose
[CP] Grunts from the corner-
[Deer] - I'm guessing the cake was Yaunfen's idea?
[Doc] Co- idea. Steve and Yaunfen did it together. It's super sweet with cheeries in the middle
[Deer] - But of course! What else would it be?
[CP] Is a tad jealous that Lie didn't send anything for him-
[Doc] Lie sends her love and thoughts, I don't think she's slept either. - Xe moves away from the table and actually looks up - Deerheart.... Your antlers and Flux...
[Flux] - Yes... Our programming seems to know that out here our usual appearances will not work
[Deer] - Not just my antlers love
[Doc] Goes to examine her more closely and looks down at her feet-
[Deer] Wiggles her toes a little-
[CP] - By the way, that mothwoman Dawn introduced us to earlier was around
[Doc] Oh dear, you're going to need shoes... Wait Klaarese was here? Did she need help or something?
[CP] - No, some weird energy portal was in the sky and she was feeding from it
[Deer] - No! I like to feel the earth! You know this
[Doc] I guess the woods out there pretty deep. We might be near a window area. And Deerheart, I know how you feel about it, but the ground isn't so soft or forgiving here
[Deer] Whines a little-
[CP] Looks at Notch- He's still dead to the world
[Doc] if he was awake he's likely be hating life anyway, so it's probably for the best. And I'll find you something thin, so you still feel the texture a little
[CP] - He's not even dreaming
[Doc] is that normal?
[CP] Shrugs- I don't fucking know. I was the last digital one to come through in the manor
[Doc] well you're the dream expert here. Did you try to get in? Or just read his mind?
[CP] - Read his mind
[Doc] Then try to get into his head, maybe you can steer his subconscious somewhere pleasant at least.
[CP] - Do I really have to?
[Doc] I would really appreciate it. I want to make sure he's okay in there. I mean it's not normal for humans to have totally blank minds. He's a game programmer, not a Zen master
[CP] Grumbles but does close his eyes and enters Notch's dream realm-
-The landscape is realistic, but unpopulated apart from some sheep. It's just hills and fields
[CP] - Oi! Where are you!
-there's no answer but the light glints off a small glass building down the hill
[CP] - Really? Glass?- He floats up and then flies over to the building
-The structure is basically a small greenhouse with a bed in it. The plants look a bit overgrown and the clay pots all look old and stained. There are a few worn tools on the shelves and even some grubby and well- loved gardening gloves. It all looks like a hazy memory from perhaps his childhood. At the farthest point from the door is a plain Minecraft style bed, Markus is laying flat on it like a Steve would. There's a small table beside it, almost like an altar with several items carefully placed on it-
[CP] Steps inside of the house and looks at the items on the table-
- theres a beat up wooden sword, a pink cloth collar with bloodstains, one of Lies healing flowers in a little pot, a heart- shaped pincushion with several needles, a pair of garish hand knitted socks that don't match, and a cup of coffee that seems ungodly hot.
[CP] Death glares at the collar before poking Notch- Oi
[Notch] Stirs and his eyes open a little- Cp....? Is it over already? Where are we?
[CP] - It's not over, we're in your dream
[Notch] Sits up and looks around, his eyes go wide and he sighs. - ah... I understand. I couldn't come here otherwise. All this is long gone in the real world.
[CP] - The fuck is it?
[Notch] My inspiration, at least part of it. We're in New Zealand. I had a distant aunt that I visited as a child. The countryside left its mark on me. It's lovely isn't it? - looks down at the table
[CP] - It's dull
[Notch] it's quiet and peaceful, at least on the surface. - He reaches out to touch the little healing flower. It looks like everyone has left their calling cards doesn't it?
[CP] - Everyone who gave you blood that is
[Notch] I'm okay with that. I'm infinitely grateful for it. - He takes the collar and buckles it gently around the circumference of the potted plant.
[CP] Hisses at it a little and steps away-
[Notch] What? I'm pretty sure it's just a symbol. The rest of this I can use directly. - He pulls off his shoes and puts the socks on. - Pretty cozy.
[CP] - Pretty ugly
[Notch] Theyre soft. - he pulls his shoes back on, and reaches for the mug, blowing across it gently.
[CP] - Doc just wanted me to check on you, so I've done my part now
[Notch] I suspected as much, thank you for waking me up at least. - he takes hold of the sword and swishes it idly-
[CP] - Just go back to sleep, You still have a ways to go
[Notch] I can't go exploring?
[CP] - There's nothing out there!
[Notch] maybe that's because I'm in here. I just need to... - he struggles for the right words- load some chunks. I won't go far.
[CP] Shrugs- Not like you can get lost in adream
[Notch] Exactly. And lamb chops sound pretty good right now. Do you have any wood blocks?
-baaa from outside-
[CP] - It's a dream! You can get them yourself!
[Notch] Sighs- force of habit. Thanks for watching over me Cp
[CP] - Whatever
[CP] Leaves the dream and opens his eyes back up in the real world-
[Doc] has put a plate with a rare and still hot steak in it next to him. Xe's copied hir boots and is plying the metal heels off the duplicates- is he okay Cp?
[CP] - He's fucking fine
[Doc] Why so mad? Was his dreamscape something annoying? - Xe strips most of the rubber off the bottoms of the boots, leaving a thin, waffly, textured surface.
[CP] - It was fucking New Zealand
[Flux] - New Zealand?
[Doc] I don't know where that is, what did it look like? - Xe's thinning out the leather into something more breatheable and pliable-
[CP] - Many humans use it for movie sets because it's "pretty"
[Deer] - Movies?
[CP] - Moving pictures that humans use for entertainment
[Doc] So lots of green, maybe some trees, rivers and stuff? I guess it's just his happy place? - Doc flips the boots on their heels and melts the front fabric and rubber as one, making a seperate space for the big toes and testing how flexible they are.
[CP] - Pretty much
[Flux] Goes over to Notch and takes his hand
[Doc] As long as he's not in pain. I wonder if what we gave him had any effect on his dreamstate? He is kind of a Herobrine.
[CP] - Oh it did
[Doc] Is attaching some little hooks. - Do tell!
[CP] - An item on a table from each person who gave him blood
[Doc] Aww... that's sweet. I hope he gets use out of everything. Dare I ask what?
[CP] Sighs- A pincushion for you, a healing blossom for Lie, coffee for TLOT, socks for Steve, and a wooden sword for Stevie
[Flux] - A wooden sword...
[Doc] Chuckles - Socks and coffee? That is perfect. But aren't you forgetting someone?
[CP] - Nope
[Doc] Super curious now- I think you are.
[CP] - No, I'm not
[Doc] Shakes hir head- Okay Cp. Have it your way... Okay Deerheart. Have a sit and let me strap these on so you can try them out.
[Deer] - No
[Doc] Please? They're nice and soft.
[Deer] Huffs and sits on her feet-
[Doc] But I made them just for you.
[Deer] - I don't want them
[CP] Quiet snickering-
[Doc] Sad face with a side dollop of lip quiver-
[Deer] - Oh please don't give me that look love...
[Doc] -tiniest little sniffle-
[Deer] - Fine, but I refuse to wear them indoors
[Doc] Okay. But at least try them on for now so I can adjust them if need be.
[Deer] - Oh alright- She offers her feet
[Doc] Slips the little boots over her feet, minding to get her toes in comfortably. Xe's pulling and molding the cloth as xe goes and slips the little hooks together up her calves one at a time. It's obvious xe's trying to be sensual since hir mate does like feeling a little confined. - Is black okay? Or should I change the color?
[Deer] - Brown, like my hooves
[CP] Rolls his eyes-
[Doc] Slides hir hands up and down every inch of the boots, changing the color - Here's the nifty part. Wiggle your toes, you can bend the soles too.
[Deer] Does so- I still don't like them much...
[Doc] Kisses her knee - You only need them out here. Humans are bad about littering. You don't want to step on broken glass or cracked concrete or other trash. You could get cut and sick because of it.
[Deer] - Can we even catch human illness'?
[Doc] I don't want to find out. Just trust me. There are gross things on the ground you don't want to step in.
[Deer] - Oh alright
[Doc] Scoots up next to her and kisses her, running fingers through her hair- Feels so strange... but soft.
[Deer] - I'm not used to the strands being so thin
[Flux] - The changes to both of us are odd to look at
[Doc] I'm still not used to a lot of things out here... I have to pretty much stay away from mirrors entirely.
[CP] - That trip to the shopping center was entertaining when you reached the mirrors
[Doc] Huffs a little- It's just hard... there's too much... DETAIL.
[CP] - It's not that bad
[Doc] You also think the blood and rot smell of Slenders manor isn't bad either.
[CP] - Smells like home
[Doc] Exactly. It's a personal opinion. Actually while I'm at it, Flux, do you need anything? I know you can kinda, think your outfit into existence?
[Flux] - Yes, I assume I may have to change it?
[Doc] I can alter it a little to make it more fashionable?
[Flux] - If you sketch out something more appropriate I can shift it, it's still made from my magic
[Doc] Maybe some pants, and a sleeveless top? Just shorten up your kimono and leave it open like a jacket.
[Flux] - I will try- She concentrates and her clothes twist and alter. She soon appears to be wearing a pants suit in a purple shade
[Doc] That looks nice. Braiding your hair might be a good idea too. Most humans can't grow it that long.
[Flux] - I see...- She's never done anything with her hair before
[Deer] - Here, I'll help you with that Flux- She gets up and immediately trips
[Doc] Helps her up - take it slow. I know it's probably like learning to walk all over again without your hooves.
[Deer] Huffs in annoyance-
[Doc] I know... Would you prefer a stiff sole? Is the flexibility not helping?
[Deer] - Either way I think I'd still trip
[Doc] Helps her along. Xe flicks an eye at Cp to see if he's touched his food at all, the smell of the meat is still strong.
[CP] Food is still untouched-
[Deer] Sits kinda behind Flux and begins to braid her hair- Love can you get me something to tie this off with?
[Doc] Okay... - Xe looks around and finally just pulls a boot off and slices the bottom edge off hir pants leg to make a ribbon. - Here. It's even purple.
[Deer] - Thank you love- She takes it and ties off Flux's braid- Well I don't think your hair will drag on the ground anymore
[Doc] I'd say we should go out, but it's night. Unless you want to go to a diner or something.
[Deer] - Diner?
[Doc] Just a place where humans get food. Kind of like the bar, but without Sam. They're usually late night places.
[Deer] - Flux? Do you want to go?
[Flux] - No, I'll stay here with Notch
[Doc] Cp?
[CP] - Do I get to murder somebody?
[Doc] Nooooo. We could go somewhere with alcohol instead if that would make you happier though.
[CP] - Nope, but you should probably change your clothes
[Doc] Scowls- Fiiine. - Xe Takes off hir coat and gloves and stows them. Hir tank top underneath is black today.
[CP] - Do you need me to make you an opening?
[Doc] Let me check the net for someplace that's decently close and open first. - takes out hir phone. - Unless you have a favorite somewhere?
[CP] - What makes you think I go to restaurants?
[Doc] I don't, I was just asking. Geeze. Here, this will do. Can you get me close to here? - Xe shows him a location on the phone.
[CP] - Yeah- He flicks his hand and creates an opening for Doc via the tv- You'll pop out in an alley
[Doc] As long as we aren't seen, that's good enough. Thank you Cp- Xe peeks out the opening to make sure it's clear and then motions for Deerheart to follow hir.
[Deer] Cautiously steps through-
-It's dark out and there's streetlights beyond the alley. The ground is reflecting the colored lights on the street because it must have rained a bit earlier. There are a few people walking, and some cars on the street.
[Deer] Becomes very nervous- Doc...
[Doc] Holds her hand- Yes?
[Deer] - What were those things that went by?
[Doc] Oh, they're cars. Don't walk in front of them unless they're fully stopped and you know the person inside can see you. It's just a big metal box humans use to get around fast in.
[Deer] - Why?
[Doc] Because humans get tired easily and they tend to live too far away from places they need to be to just walk.
[Deer] Looks around at everything, getting overwhelmed already-
[Doc] Take a few breaths, just center yourself before you step out. It can be overwhelming. Just pretend they're Testificates.
[Deer] - There's so many of them...
[Doc] I know. And they can be mean. So just don't engage people randomly.
[Deer] Moves close to Doc's side- Just stay close?
[Doc] Puts her arm around Deerheart's waist. - I will.
[Deer] - We'll try this...
[Doc] Walks her out gently onto the sidewalk. There's a lit up building with a glass facade not far away - We're just going over there.
[Deer] - So many tiny lights...
[Doc] Is watching the lights. - We're just going to stand here for a moment and cross the street. Lie taught me this. You just watch the signs. When top ones are red and the little person comes up on the eye level display, you can cross.
[Deer] - So many rules...
[Doc] Yeah... but it beats getting hit by a car.
-The traffic slows and stops and the lights chage to walk and red above-
[Doc] Okay, just stay with me and don't trip- crosses-
[Deer] Is trembling a little against Doc's side-
[Doc] Leads them safely over and hugs her close- Good. Just a little further and we can sit down.
[Deer] Almost trips on the curb-
[Doc] Catches her and disquises it as a romantic sweep into hir lovers arms-
[Deer] - Can we hurry?
[Doc] Yes, come on. -Xe helps her through the doors and into the oasis of light. The place is packed and Doc stops short at the sight of some of the people. There's a whole section of oddly dressed humans in semi drag with garish costumes and goth-y attire. They seem to be all one party occupying a whole section. The waitress leads them to a booth within earshot of the party but not right next to it.
[Deer] Sits on the same side as Doc- Human's have such strange clothes at times...
[Doc] Hell, I wouldn't have changed mine if I knew this was going on. I'd fit right in with that group. - Xe picks up the menu- It's mostly breakfast stuff and there's pictures of everything.
[Deer] - What is this?
[Doc] It's pictures of the food they serve with how much it costs. But I'm paying, so don't worry about that part.
[Waitress] - Hi, I'll be your waitress tonight, can I get you guys started with a drink?
[Deer] - Ummm...- Glances at Doc
[Doc] At Deerheart - What would you like? Coffee? Milk? Water? Maybe some tea?
[Deer] - Um, how about some coffee
[Waitress] Scribbles it down on the pad- And you sir?
[Doc] Coffee is good for me too.
[Waitress] Notes the choice- Alright, I'll be back with your drinks and to take your order- She then heads off
[Doc] Quietly to Deerheart- A lot of this stuff you've had before. They have pancakes, though sadly without the lightning berries. Bacon, eggs, lots of things with potatoes.
[Deer] Looks over the pictures- There's just so many variations...
[Doc] I'm just going random. I'm ready when you are.
[Deer] - Okay...
[Waitress] Comes back over with their drinks- So have you two decided?
[Doc] Points to some crepes with strawberries- This, with bacon and - peers at the menu- hash-browns.
[Deer] - I'll have the same
[Waitress] - Alrighty then- She takes the menus from them- I'll be back with that in a few minutes so just sit tight
[Doc] at the waitress- Wait. Can I ask you something?
[Waitress] - Yes?
[Doc] What's going on over there? Some kind of party?
[Waitress] - Oh, that. The local theater plays a movie twice a month and encourages the patrons to come dressed up in costume and all sorts of crazy stuff
[Doc] Xe smiles- That sounds fun. Thank you.
[Waitress] - You're welcome
[Doc] Leans over to speak quietly to Deerheart- Maybe a future date? We'll ask Lie. I bet she'll have more info.
[Deer] - Maybe, but maybe I should adjust to the real world a bit more first
[Doc] Of course- Xe starts fixing hir coffee and passes the cream and sugar to Deerheart- You just rip the little packets and pour it in.
[Deer] Explodes a packet from pulling too hard- Oh no
[Doc] It's okay, just be gentle. It's only paper. - Xe shows her how to open them
[Deer] - It's not in globs...
[Doc] Not unless it's humid. But it is portioned the same this way. - Xe stirs the mugs with a spoon.
[Deer] Is successful with the next packet and makes up her coffee- What's that creamer with the blue label?
[Doc] Looks at it. - vanilla. Like Lie's beans we use for ice cream. Do you want some?
[Deer] - Okay, I'll try it
[Doc] Adds a bit to her coffee and it swirls around in the mug. - Remember it's going to be more intense, just try a tiny sip.
[Deer] Does and is surprised by all the flavors- Mmm!
[Doc] Pats her leg - I think we might be in the making of a foodgasam.
[Deer] - Oh hush, this vanilla stuff is good though
[Doc] Is listening to the weird people. They're chatting loudly and laughing. Xe settles against the soft booth to wait for their food. Outside the rain starts up again and drizzles along the surface of the window-
[Waitress] Walks back and places their food down in front of them- Alright, here you go, enjoy your meal!
[Doc] Thank you miss. - Doc is eyeing everything. There are a lot of good smells and xe checks on Deerheart-
[Deer] Pokes at the eggs-
[Doc] They're just eggs, nothing weird. - Xe takes a bite of the crepes- This is good. Especially with the red berry things.
[Deer] Tries her own- Your right, we should remake these when we get home
[Doc] I think they're mostly egg. I'll look for a recipie online.
[Deer] Tries a little bit of everything on her plate- This is all a bit overwhelming...
[Doc] Is eating with gusto, - it's really good though. I was super hungry anyway. - Xe stops for a moment to investigate the little pots of syrup-
[Deer] - Love?
[Doc] Tips a little of one on a bare part of the plate, and tastes it. - This is like, almost pure sugar. Yaunfen would love it.
[Deer] - Make a copy?
[Doc] Casually sweeps hir hand over the pots and palms the copies. - Done. Save those for later.
[Deer] Eats some more but is quickly finding herself tired- Doc...
[Doc] Are you okay?
[Deer] - Getting tired again, Flux and I keep going through this, though less often today
[Doc] Understood. I'll pay and we'll go. - xe tries to catch the eye of the waitress.
[Waitress] See's them and comes over- Everything okay?
[Doc] Can we have the check and something for the leftovers?
[Waitress] - Absolutely, I'll be right back
[Doc] Makes a grinchy smile and waits.
[Waitress] Is only gone for a couple of minutes before returning with a check and boxes fo rthem to put their food in- When you're ready just go up to the front and pay
[Doc] I'm going to engage in a little mischief, can you put the food in the boxes and wait right here? I'll only be a moment.
[Deer] - Sure- She begins packing their stuff
[Doc] Goes to the front and pays and comes back. Xe takes a clean napkin from the table and looks for the waitress.
[Waitress] She's busy cleaning another table-
[Doc] Zeros in on her- Be ready to go when I come back-
[Deer] Nods in understanding-
[Doc] Walks over to the waitress, rolling something in hir hands, wrapping it in the napkin. Xe presses it into the woman's hands- For your trouble - xe inclines hir head at the noisy group - open it in private. We were never here. - Xe looks slightly down so the glow in hir eyes is faintly visible in the shadow of hir brow and then quick walks away. Xe lifts up Deerheart and the bag and scoots out in the night, repressing an obvious giggle.
[Deer] - So what did you do?
[Doc] Gris hugely despite the drizzle- Gave her a diamond. Just a small one. - indicates a size about like a ping pong ball.
[Waitress] Takes the dishes to the back and steps into a corner to look at the item wrapped in the napkins. She lets out a gasp as she see's the diamond and quickly pockets it, knowing it will help her pay off her student loans in a large way-
[Doc] I feel good tonight. And no naughty tattling on me when we see Lie again.
[Deer] - Why can't we tell her?
[Doc] She'd be annoyed with me. Irl diamonds are super small and expensive.
[Deer] - Ah, alright
[Doc] Shall we head back?
[Deer] - Yes, please
[Doc] Leads her back into the alley and does a violent headbutt near a light before pulling her back into the bunker and sealing the hole-
[Flux] Is asleep next to Notch-
[Doc] Sets the leftovers on the table and helps her to a bed - There, just relax.
[Deer] - I love you
[Doc] Kisses her- I love you too. We had a nice date. -winks- We should do this again sometime.
[CP] Shakes his head while still in the corner-
[Deer] Rolls over and quickly falls asleep-
[Doc] tucks her in and starts tending to the food. Making copies and putting the leftovers in the fridge- Xe strolls over to Cp and looks sadly at the uneaten steak- Aww, you let it get cold.
[CP] - It's fine
[Doc] Puts a little fan of still hot bacon on top of it-
[CP] - Don't you have a kid to look after?
[Doc] TLOT and Steve are babysitting, they're helpful like that.
[CP] - Yes well you've been gone awhile
[Doc] I presume you're just trying to get rid of me. I understand.
[CP] - Well as you've put it before, somebody has to protect the server
[Doc] I'm going. Do you want anything for the next time I come back?
[CP] - No
[Doc] Nods in understanding and makes an opening with a minimum of fuss-
[CP] Watches them leave-
[Doc] Shuts the portal behind hir-
[CP] Once Doc is gone he eats, reheating the meat with his own fire-
[Steve] So what do you want to do Yaunfen?
[TLOT] Is lazily fishing next to Steve-
[Yaunfen] - Gummy fish!
[Steve] Gummy... fish? What's that?
[Yaunfen] - Mada brought it, it goes in the bubbly water
[TLOT] Thinks- Is that something from your home seed?
[Yaunfen] Nods-
[TLOT] Is it stowed in the house someplace?
[Yaunfen] - Uh-huh!
[TLOT] Time to dig in the storage areas I think. - He puts his pole away and gets up, streching in the sun-
[Yaunfen] Bounces around excitedly-
[Steve] Leads them inside and puts his hands on his hips- Where should we start looking?
[Yaunfen] - Vine room! Vine room!
[Steve] Tromps down the step and TLOT follows, his cloak brushing the stairs. The two spread out and start opening trunks-
[Steve] Man there's a lot of stuff in here. Some of it I don't even know what it is
[Pinwheel] Is sleeping on top of the dragon head in the room-
[Yaunfen] Sticks hir nose into the trunks-
[Steve] Pulls out a popsicle and licks it experimentally- Gah! Cold!
[TLOT] Snickers-
[Yaunfen] - Yummy!
[TLOT] He passes a hand over it and hands the fresh copy to Yaunfen-
[Yaunfen] Suctions it into hir mouth and then trots around while sucking on it-
[Steve] Imitates the little dragon [muffled] - Still really cold-
[TLOT] Pulls out a spawn egg and taps it accidently- what's this.. oops!
[Chocolate chicken] Pops out of the egg and stares at them stupidly- bok
[Yaunfen] Eyes dialate and xe hunkers down with a butt twitch-
[Chocolate chicken] Nervously lays a cadbury type egg on the floor-
[Steve] What the nether?
[Yaunfen] Launches self at chicken-
[CC] Runs like fuck-
[Yaunfen] Trips and luckily the popsicle comes out of their mouth-
[TLOT] Watches the red popscicle splat on the rug- that'll leave a stain-
[Steve] Helps Yaunfen up- You okay?
[Yaunfen] - Uh-huh!
[Pinwheel] Glances at them from her spot and huffs a little below curling up a bit tighter-
[TLOT] Picks up the egg and sniffs it- This might taste better then the chicken anyway, it smells sweet as all get out
[Yaunfen] - It has gooey inside!
[TLOT] Makes a copy and tentatively bites the top off of one. - Mmmfff... wow that is sweet... - He sets down the copy and looks at the chicken.
[CC] Is wandering vaguely towards the bathroom and pecks around in the netherwort by the door.
[Yaunfen] - Can we find the fish now?
[Steve] I'm still digging. I found a bucket of weird looking water, is this part of it? - He holds out a bucket with fizzy light blue liquid in it
[Yaunfen] - Yes! Made whole bay that!
[TLOT] Then that's half the battle- Squeaks open a double trunk-
[Pinwheel] Is suddenly right next to TLOT and batting at his leg- Food
[TLOT] Jumps a little- Oh! Hey Pinwheel. What kind of food do you want?
[Steve] Yipe!
[Pinwheel] - Food. In there
[TLOT] Oh? - He looks down in the trunk- What am I looking for? - He starts pulling things out and showing her. There's lots of normal Minecraft food, some cheese, coffee bottles, touchie wine, and a bottle full of shiny black liquid. He hesitates before touching it. - I reallly hope this isn't a vial of lust nectar.
[Pinwheel] - Food!
[TLOT] You want this? What is it? - he shakes it a little-
[Pinwheel] - Smell right
[TLOT] Gingerly uncorks the bottle and a few sparkles float out like an Enderman teleporting- OH. Here, - he tips the bottle near her so she can catch the trickle-
[Pinwheel] Eagerly eats-
[Yaunfen] - Yucky
[Steve] Too each their own. Pinwheel can't have liquid. It kinda restricts their eating.
[TLOT] Do we have any dragonwort?
[Steve] Oh, I saw some in the box by the furnaces in the corner! - He goes over and rustles around before pulling out the bundle of leaves -
[Pinwheel] Baps at bottle once it's empty- More?
[TLOT] Probably. We just need to keep looking.
[Steve] Holds out the tuft- salad anyone?
[Pinwheel] - No
[Yaunfen] - No thank you
[Steve] Aww.... - he puts the leaves away again- Hey! I think I found the fish! - holds up a bright red fish and another that's yellow. Both are a bit translucent-
[Yaunfen] - Yes! Yes!
[TLOT] So now we just need a spot to dump some of this....
[Pinwheel] - No more?
[TLOT] I'm looking- He's goes back to poking around -
[Pinwheel] Huffs-
[Steve] Helps and does find another void bottle- Here you go Pinwheel, no biting okay? - He uncaps it and holds it out so she can drink-
[Pinwheel] Is over there in a flash and is eating-
[Steve] Looks nervous-
[Pinwheel] Puts one paw on Steve's knee as she stands on her hind feet while eating-
[Steve] Is just glad he's wearing armor. - There you go.
[Pinwheel] Is soon done- I go see where Cri is now- She saunters off
[Steve] Little sigh of relief-
[Yaunfen] - How come she doesn't have baby sitter?
[Steve] Because she's the most lethal dragon on the server.
[TLOT] Don't you like hanging out with us kiddo?
[Yaunfen] - So then why was Mama and Mada watching her?
[TLOT] Exchanges a look with Steve- Ummm, wheres Splender?
[Steve] I haven't seen him in days...
[Yaunfen] - I don't know
[TLOT] ....
[Steve] Hey Pinwheel? Do you want to hang out with us?
[Pinwheel] - No!
[TLOT] Trots after her- Pinwheel? Where's Splender?
[Pinwheel] - Gone
[TLOT] Goes cold - What do you mean gone? How long has he been gone?
[Pinwheel] - I don't know, left me here
[TLOT] Did he say anything before he left?
[Pinwheel] - I don't know
[TLOT] Stay right here. Please. Just give me a minute. - calls out over the chat- Hey BEN? Can I talk to you for a minute?
[BEN] - Little busy
[TLOT] It's important. I'll be brief. How can I get in touch with Slender?
[BEN] - Why do you want to do that?
[TLOT] Because Splender is missing.
[BEN] - Yeah he does that every once in awhile
[TLOT] But he left Pinwheel here.
[BEN] - Yeah, he does that
[TLOT] Can you please just tell me how to get in contact with one of the other Slenders? Just to let them know he's flitted off somewhere. He's apparently been gone for quite some time.
[BEN] - I'll send the proxies a text
[TLOT] Thank you. - waits-
[Pinwheel] Heads down to Crim's room, ignoring TLOT's command to stay in the vine room- Cri?
[Crim] - is laying in his bed, snuggled under all his blankets -
[Pinwheel] Jumps up on the bed- Cri? We play?
[Crim] - wiggles and pokes head out - Plays? Ok Pinwheel...
[Crim] - carefully crawls out and stretches, wincing slightly. There is a darker patch of scales on his side - What you wants do?
[Pinwheel] - What happen?
[Crim] - shrugs - Not careful, Crim was. Digging and fell into water. It's ok, is better.
[Pinwheel] Growls a little- Bad water
[Crim] Water not think, not be bad. I just.... Clumsy? - nudges her toward door
[Pinwheel] Is scootched-
[Crim] - goes into hall and makes sure to close door behind them - So, what want play? Tag? Hides seeks?
[Pinwheel] - You choose
[Crim] - sticks tounge out as thinking, then baps her with a paw as he takes off down the hall - Tag!
[Pinwheel] Gives Crim a bit of a headstart before taking off herself, her speed easily letting her catch up- I get you!
[Crim] - giggle snorts as he works on staying away - You tries!
[Pinwheel] Jumps around Crim, trying to herd him around-
[Crim] - squeaks and jumps over, latching on the wall and crawls around like a spider -
[Pinwheel] Watches and butt twitches, ready to leap at Crim- I get you!
[Crim] - snickers and dangles off the ceiling - Come tries!
[Pinwheel] Spreads her wings and leaps upwards, flapping to try and tag Crim-
[Crim] - stays dangling and wiggles paws - Tries again!
[Pinwheel] Leaps again, stretching out her neck so her nose bumps against Crim- You're it!
[Crim] - giggles and drops off ceiling - Ok, runs!
[Pinwheel] Takes off quickly, heading back towards the vine room-
[Crim] - scrabble after her, jumping off the walls to try to get alittle closer - I catches you!
[Pinwheel] - No!
[Crim] - tries harder, doing bigger jumps - Will too!
[Pinwheel] Gets in the center of the room so Crim can't use the walls-
[Crim] - does a final flying leap forward her -
[Pinwheel] Is tagged-
[Crim] - tumbles and lays on the floor, giggling - See, I catch!
[Pinwheel] - Yes, you do, but I attack!- She jumps on top of Crim and tries to cover him as much as she can-
[Crim] - fake cries and wiggles, trying to escape - Oh noes! Helps!
[Pinwheel] Giggles before jumping off-
[Crim] - dramatically flops over, belly up - Eeps, I has been hunts!
[Pinwheel] Concerened - You hurts?- She comes close and sniffs all over to investigate
[Crim] - waits for her to get close, then slurps the side of her snout as he scrambles up - Tag!
[Pinwheel] Sputters a bit and jumps on Crim- Cri I get you!
[Crim] - tries flipping over and scoots under her - Nope!
[Pinwheel] - Yes
[Crim] - is laughing as he tries to escape - Nope!
[Pinwheel] - Yes!
[Crim] - jumps over her toward the hallway - Nope, nope, nope!
[Pinwheel] Takes off after Crim, her tail lashing about and leaving some marks in the softer walls-
[Crim] - is bouncing off walls and such, just trying to keep out of her reach. His claws are leaving some sizable marks in places -
[Pinwheel] Puts on a burst of speed and leaps to intercept Crim in the air-
[Crim] - is caught, but wraps all six legs around her and they go tumbling - I is caught!!
[Pinwheel] - And you caught me!
[Crim] - giggling - Yes!
[Pinwheel] Nuzzles Crim- You good friend
[Crim] - purs - You toos.
[Pinwheel] - We go into warm light?
[Crim] Outside? Yes, as long as no water falling. - Slowly climbs to feets as to not dump her on the floor -
[Pinwheel] - Yes, to the scratchy ground
[Crim] Ok, you leads, I follow.
[Pinwheel] Takes them up the stairs and outside. She immediately starts rolling in the grass- Scratchy ground. Scratchy ground
[Crim] - makes sure door is shut before wandering over and flopping down - That not itch, but makes itches stop?
[Pinwheel] - Yes
[Crim] - watches with half an eye, but also looking around - Why it so quiets?
[Pinwheel] - Don't know
[Crim] - sniffs but shrugs - Hum... so what's do now?
[Pinwheel] - Lay in warm light
[Crim] - slight frown, then reaches around to scratch at the dark patch on his side - Just lays? Dat all? I not tired yet, I no can sleeps.
[Pinwheel] - No need be tired, feels good
[Crim] - snorts a little puff of smoke - Can be, but warm soft rock is better. But you can no go in, it hurts.
[Pinwheel] - But this ground scratchy too
[Crim] - scratches at the ground - But hard. Yellow shifty stuff warm and scratchy.
[Pinwheel] Flumps a won't onto Crim-
[Crim] - sighs and scratches his side harder -
[Pinwheel] - It itchy?
[Crim] - nods, then shakes head - Itchy, but not. To tight. Don't know why it do this time. I has fall in water before, hurt but not do this.
[Pinwheel] Flexes claws- I try itching?
[Crim] - nods and leans so his side is arched out more -
[Pinwheel] Starts scratching at the darker claws-
[Crim] - winces then happy sighs. As she scratches, small red scales flake off -
[Pinwheel] Eeps in surprise- You coming apart!
[Crim] - cranes around to look. Under where she scratches are darker red scales, ultra smooth and flecked with small yellowish spots - It not hurt, so maybe ok. Place not so tight no more.
[Pinwheel] - I not sure...
[Crim] - looks around and picks up one of the shed scales, looking over it closely - This look like me. Maybe is like you feather. Dey fall out sometimes, right?
[Pinwheel] - Maybe... You could ask big people later
[Crim] Yeah, but place feel better. - wants to scratch more but tries not to -
[Pinwheel] - Still itchy?
[Crim] - frown - Yes. I no want to scratch until it ok.
[Pinwheel] - Then go find big people- Lazy tail flip
[Crim] Yeah, but quiets. Wonder were go or hides? - one of his back legs distractedly tries to scratch his side -
[Pinwheel] - Big gold one with long one
[Crim] -sighs- Ok, where?
[Pinwheel] - Don't know. Or you could go see really big one
[Crim] - scrunches up snout as he resists scratching and stands - Big one, anyone, no cares. Itchy!
[Pinwheel] - Go find big one
[Crim] You stay?
[Pinwheel] - No like others, only like Cri
[Crim] Others not bad. Alone bad, no fun. No safe. - shivers and wants to SCRATCH - Alrights. Be goods.
[Pinwheel] - You really want me go?
[Crim] Be nice, but I can finds myself if you want... stays..... - can't help it and scratches, causing more scales to come off -
[Pinwheel] - Fine I go, but only because you friend
[Crim] - smiles and purs, while grabbing the leg that is scratching and holding it still - Thank yous.
[Pinwheel] - Let's go- She stands and starts walking away, sniffing the air as she goes
[Crim] - follows, also sniffing and looking around -
[Endrea] - Is over in front of Lies place tearing the iron golem apart-
[Pinwheel] Bites a zombie that was under a tree- We getting there
[Crim] - hisses at the dying zombie - Ok, ok. I can smells... - stops to scratch -
[Pinwheel] - Stop that!
[Crim] I tries, I tries. - bolts ahead -
[Endrea] Comes into sight-
[Crim] Finally! - runs toward -
[Pinwheel] Keeps pace with Crim-
[Endrea] Looks up- Oh, hello you two
[Crim] Helps! Itchy! - stops and flops down, cat loaf style to keep from scratching himself -
[Endrea] Laughs a little- Let me see where you itch
[Pinwheel] Sits a distance away-
[Crim] - stands and shows side with dark patch -
[Endrea] Land in closer and sniffs it before rubbing against it a little- How did this happen?
[Crim] I digging, fell in water. Happen before, but no like this. No itches. Pinwheel scratch and scales come off!
[Endrea] - Doors it hurt to scratch?
[Crim] - shakes head - No, better. Not so tight.
[Endrea] - I see. I don't think it's anything bad, in fact I think your body may be getting ready to get bigger
[Crim] - bits claws - So ok to scratch?
[Endrea] - Yes but only where it doesn't hurt. We don't want you to pull off any scales that aren't ready to come off
[Crim] - instantly twists around and claws at the spot, sending little red scales all over the ground. -
[Endrea] Sniffs a little- You smell dirty
[Crim] - scratching - Dig dirty. Sore after fall. Sleeps. - the dark red patch gets bigger and there is a faint yellowish stripe in the middle -
[Endrea] - Well would you like a bath?
[Crim] - stops for a second - Warm soft rock red around?
[Endrea] - Well yes, but I meant from me
[Crim] - looks at her confused - Bath from you?
[Endrea] - Yes, I can clean you with my tongue. It's probably a skill you should learn too
[Crim] Crim know wash, but why wash others? They not know? - is confused enough to stop scratching -
[Endrea] - No, but it's a binding thing. It helps cement friendships and familial relations
[Crim] - thinks and frowns - Oh... Crim no family, hatch alone.
[Endrea] - That's alright, what about friends, you can always help groom them
[Crim] Oh. - scratches absentmindly -
[Endrea] - Just consider it, I bet Pinwheel might like it if you helped with her feathers
[Crim] - looks back at Pinwheel - Pinwheel friend. - scratches hardcore at one spot -
[Endrea] - And I'm certain you're her only friend
[Crim] - nods - Wish others would like too. She nice.
[Endrea] - I'm not sure why she isn't nice to others... Now then, you'll probably be itching for awhile, but try not to overdo it, alright?
[Crim] OK, thanks - turns to hop scratch walk his way back toward Pinwheel -
[Pinwheel] - What she say?
[Crim] Is ok to scratch, might get bigger soon. - scratches -
[Pinwheel] - Really? I help then
[Crim] - stops scratching and sits - Please, can't reach all.
[Pinwheel] Goes and starts scratching again- You tell me when you no like
[Crim] - nods and relaxes, slowly starting to pur -
[Masky] Sighs as he heads out into the woods. He's about to light up a cigarette when he feels his phone buzz. Glancing at it he notices it's from BEN and groans as he opens it. It isn't long afterwards that he's rushing back towards the manor-
[Steve] Turned his back for a moment and Pinwheel snuck off- Aww dammit!
[TLOT] I guess I can't say I'm suprised.
[Yaunfen] - We go fish now?
[TLOT] Closes his eyes- She's not far away. We could maybe find a low spot to spawn the fish on the way.
[Yaunfen] - Let's go! Let's go!
[TLOT] Heads out of the house and towards the spawn with the others following.
[BEN] - Hey, I sent your text, Masky says Slender's looking for Splender now
[TLOT] in chat- Oh good. Thank you BEN. I know he has a tendancy to wander but no one realized that Pinwheel had snuck off and not been picked up by him.
[BEN] - Shit, that little menace is on the loose
[TLOT] She's not so bad. It's a bit easier now that she's talking.
[BEN] - Still, she comes near my kid, she's getting drowned
[TLOT] I wouldn't worry about her coming all the way over there. She's likely looking for Crim again.
[Steve] Has found the little waterfall near the spawn and is filling the pond with dirt to get rid of the water.
[Yaunfen] Is bouncing excitedly- Gotta be fast to catch fish!
[Steve] Pokes TLOT and shows him the bucket-
[TLOT] He makes several more of them and Steve goes back to removing the dirt and filling the space with the soda-
[Yaunfen] Switches to dragon form-
[Steve] Finishes filling the pool and spawns in some fish - Is it supposed to be frothy?
[Yaunfen] - Yes!
-Fish jump around and swim-
[Yaunfen] Launches hirself into the water to chase after the fish-
[Steve] Sits down on the edge and lets a fishing lure dangle in the water.
[TLOT] Is pacing a little.
-There's a bit of crackling and a portal is opened. Splender hurries through and an irate Slender follows-
[Slender] - Splender you have responsibilities!
[Splender] - I'm sorry! I forgot!
[Slender] - How can you forget!?
[TLOT] Full body shiver as they enter, and his head whips around to where they're coming out-
[Splender] - But your party...
[Slender] - Is not nearly as important as a living creature!
[Steve] Kinda scoots under a ledge so he's a bit more hidden. But his bobber starts making a plunking noise as a fish pulls on it-
[Splender] Slight distressed noises-
[Slender] - Go find your pet!
[Splender] - Yes sir!- He hurries off
[Slender] Long irritated sigh-
