Mountain, entering his room and climbing into bed, pulling back the sheets: "...And what are you doing in here?" Dewdles, Dew's imp, tucked into bed like he owns it: "...Eep." Mountain, nudging him: "Out, out-" Dewdles: -digging down deeper into the blankets- Mountain: "I will lay on you. I'll do it and I'll make it look like an accident." Dew, appearing from under a pile of pillows on the bed: "Don't crush my imp, he's only a baby." Mountain: "And why are YOU in my bed?" Dew: "..." -pulling Dewdles into the pillow pile- "...I plead the 2nd." Mountain, getting under the covers: "We're not in America, and it's the 5th amendment, not the 2nd." Dew: "...What's the 2nd then?" Mountain: "The right to bare arms?" Dew, sleepy: "Wow, they can't even not wear sleeves in America." Mountain: "Or maybe it's bear arms?" Dew: "They shouldn't take bears' arms, they need those to... do bear things." Dewdles, witnessing the delirium of sleepiness kicking in: "...Eep." Mountain and Dew: "Yes, eep."

Dew, hanging off of the couch: "Never flirt with a man who fishes." Cumulus, wrapped in a blanket next to him: "Never flirt with a man." Aeon, on the floor between them: "Never flirt." Rain, who wasn't paying attention, wistfully: "...Fishes..."

Swiss, in his nature documentary voice, observing Aeon: "The young ghoul enters the den, seeking a place to rest and recover from the night's hunt." Aeon, bleary eyed and grumpy: -hungover from the party they threw in the woods last night- Swiss: "Hoping to find a comfortable perch to settle upon, the ghoul scopes out his surroundings, but finds, to his dismay, that the most comfortable spot has been taken up by an elder male." Dew, laying on the couch: -passed out with the tv remote in his hand- Swiss: "Though smaller in size then the younger ghoul, the elder male is incredibly territorial, and will wake easily if disturbed, grumbling something about how he's 'watching that' should anyone attempt to remove the object in his possession." Aeon, looking over the back of the couch at Dew: -sticking his leg over and stepping onto the space between Dew and the cushions- Swiss, watching closely: "A bold move, what does he hope to accomplish?" Aeon, maneuvering over: -sits down on Dew and then leans forward until his head is in the crux of Dew's neck- Swiss, blinking: "Huh." Dew, waking up from the sudden weight on his body: "...Don't touch the remote... I'll kill you..." Aeon: -loud purring- Dew, wraps his arms around Aeon, still clinging to the remote: -goes back to sleep- Swiss: "...What."

Dew, walking into the infirmary: "Quintessence ghouls." Omega, leaning out of his office: "Yes?" Aether, rolling out from behind a desk: "Yeup?" Aeon, popping out from behind a privacy curtain: "Hi?" Dew, clasping his hands together in front of him: "I took my allergy meds together with some melatonin before looking up the side effects." Omega, clicking is tongue: "...Diphenhydramine?" Dew: -nodding- Aether, taking out his notepad: "How many tablets?" Dew: "One melatonin, and two allergy tablets because one never works for me." Aeon, sighing: -untucking one of the beds- Dew, looking between the three of them: "...Am I gonna be okay or...?" Omega: "How long ago did you take it?" Dew: "Fifteen... twenty minutes ago?" Aether, getting up and guiding Dew over to the bed: "Yeahh... Here, climb in." Aeon, tucking Dew into bed: "If you see the hat man later on, it's probably just Swiss fucking with you, he has the late shift tonight." Dew, yawning: "Am I gonna be okay...?" Aether: "Yeah, you'll be o..." -notices Dew is asleep- "...'kay. He's gonna have some fucked up dreams tonight." Aeon and Omega: -nodding solemnly- Swiss, showing up for his shift already in his scrubs, holding his coffee cup: "Howdy, all-" -sees Dew- "...Of all the days to have left my top hat in the dorms."

Aether, to no one in particular: "You might like Dew a lot, you may even love him, but you will never love him as much as I love this guy. He is my boy. My bestie." -holding Dew up by his armpits like one might display a cat- "And this guy loves me back! Don'tcha, bud?" Dew: -gives a thumbs up- Swiss: "I'm surprised he hasn't bit you yet." Aether, covered in band-aids: "Now I never said he didn't do that-"

Mountain, delirious from a lack of sleep: "Oughhh... I require... the small husband..." -making grabby hands at Dew before picking him up- "We go goodbye now..." Dew, being flung over Mountain's shoulder: "...I'm not THAT small..." Mountain, groggily: "...Comparatively small husband." Dew: "That's better."

Sibling of Sin: "Sometimes, ya know, you'll run into one of the ghouls, and it's, it's fine, yeah? I mean, it's cool and all, but, like, once you see one of them eating a sock you kind of realize that's... that's just a cat in human form." -pointing at Mountain yowling and clawing at the door to be let outside- "See? That's cat behavior." Copia, in tears: "You have hands! You can open the door yourself!" -watching Mountain bat at the door- "USE YOUR HANDS-" Sibling of Sin: "...Satan's bravest warriors."

Dew, on a video call with Aeon: "Okay, Sparkles, this shit ain't rocket science; You're looking for the size 4 overnight pads, but instead of the bulk pack that has 40 in it, you're gonna get two of the mid-sized packs, because they have 33 a piece and that means 66 pads, but it'll be half the cost, since they're on sale, got it? Then we won't have to get those for a while... hopefully..." Aeon, staring at a wall of hygiene products: "Dew, I'm scared, why are there so many-" Dew: "Now is not the time for fear, Sparkles, that will come later, if you don't come back with the goods before Cumulus wakes up." Aeon, looking at the display, flipping the camera so Dew can see: "What's a tampon and why are the ladies on the box playing tennis?" Dew: "...To sate their bloodlust. How should I know? Fuckin' marketing bullshit, should have more dinosaurs and cool stuff like..." Aeon: "Vampire bats...?" Dew: "I like the way you think." Aeon: "...Why's there a random chocolate display over here?" Dew: "Focus, young one, focus." Aeon, filling up his shopping basket: "...Can I get a toy while I'm here? They have toys here, right?" Dew, sighing: "You may get one toy... But." Aeon: "But?" Dew: "...You have to get something for Cumulus, too." Aeon: "Done and done." -much later- Cumulus, being handed a grocery bag of random items: "Aw, buddy, what's this?" Aeon: "A sacrifice for the blood moon." Cumulus: "...For the blood moon." -taking out a stuffed t-rex with a shirt that says 'get well soon'- "...You're lucky you're cute."

Freshly Summoned Dew, up late because his brain is being mean, using his combined powers to steam stains out of the carpeting: "Cheaper than therapy, I guess..." Omega, who has been standing in the hallway watching him: -waiting to tell him the abbey has free therapy sessions by default, but also in awe of how easily he can remove wine stains-

Swiss, hanging out with Dew: "So, humor me here, you fulltime ghoulies, you guys have, like, individual scents, yeah?" Dew, nodding: "Yeah, it's like, our base smell. Humans have them, too, but it's usually subtler." Swiss, curious: "What do I smell like?" Dew, thinking: "On a good day? Kind of like movie theater popcorn, which might not sound that impressive, but it's the vibe, too. Like, smells like going to the movies with friends on a summer day and you just got that first blast of AC on your skin. Not unpleasant, but kind of bittersweet." Swiss, surprised: "Huh, so it's more than just a scent, it's a vibe, too? Okay, what about you? What have you been told you smell like?" Dew, looking away: "Uhhh..." Swiss: "What? What's wrong?" Cumulus, walking by: "He smells like oat milk and honey, because he's such a sweetheart~!" Dew: "I do not! I smell like brimstone and hellfire!" Cirrus, poking her head in: "Warm baked potato with sour cream that was cooked in foil over a campfire with a hint of s'mores." Dew, embarrassed: "Only the fire part is correct!" Aether, from the kitchen: "Kind of like warm chamomile tea with condensed milk on a rainy day!" Swiss, leaning over and smelling him: "..." Dew, flustered: "What??" Swiss, about to cry: "...You smell like the tres leches cake made by my grandma-"

Aether, in the infirmary doing an interview: "People ask why we have a medical wing here at the abbey, and it's partly because we're so remote, but also because it helps to have a place to take sick and/or injured individuals to recover where they can be safely monitored and assessed properly before we determine if further intervention is needed." Omega, sitting down: "There's a lot of stuff we can't do in house, like MRI's, organ transplants... Basically anything that would require more invasive treatments or examinations, except for, say, a broken bone, that we can handle." Aether, nodding: "For the most part, we're just here to answer questions people might have in regards to their health, and to make sure all of our residents are up to date on their shots." Omega: "Speaking of which..." -getting up and grabbing a broom handle to prod a hissing Dew latched onto the ceiling- "Get your ass down here and let me give you your booster shots, you feral possum of a man-" Aether, poking at him with a yard stick: "You have to kind of push at his hands or his claws won't retract-"

Dew, lecturing Aeon: "What was the number one rule I told you about when using the microwave?" Aeon, looking at his shoes: "...Y'don't put metal in it..." Dew: "And what did you do?" Aeon: "...Put a can of soup in it." Dew, placing his hands on his hips: "And what happened, Aeon? Tell me what happened to the microwave?" Aeon, glancing up at the hole in the cabinets: "Um..." Aurora, interrupting: "I microwaved a rock once." Dew, pointing at the corner: "You get back in timeout, you're still in trouble for flushing those bath bombs this morning. Don't distract me." Aurora: "Aww..." Aeon, trying to sneak away: "..." Dew, yoinking the back of Aeon's shirt: -makes the face of a disappointed parent- Aeon, about to cry: "I'M SORRY-"

Dew's diary back when he was a water ghoul: "Dear Diary, Today I found a pretty rock! :) It is very nice and I enjoy looking at it! Also Alpha fell down the stairs! :((( He got very hurt, but he is okay now! :)-" Dew's diary nowadays: "I never had a good relationship with my father, and I feel like that may be part of the reason why I have such a hard time dealing with male authority figures, especially when they try to play at being nice. Also I pushed Alpha down the stairs today, because he's a bitch. >:)-"

Copia, stressed beyond all belief: "Okay, I'm not mad -maybe a just a little- but I am VERY disappointed in you all! Your behavior today was inexcusable and I-" -looking at the group- "Hold on, where's the little one?" Aurora: -points at herself- Cumulus, confused: -gesturing between the two of them- Copia, shakes his head: "No, not you, two. Where is THE little one." -scanning the room- "You lot are all out here misbehaving, and Dewdrop is nowhere to be seen?? Lord below, what mischief could he be getting up to?!" -Meanwhile- Dew, in his bedroom, headphones on, laying on his belly, kicking his feet and doing sudoku puzzles: "Aw, shit, there's already a 2 in this row... Goddammit, I was on a roll."

Swiss, watching Dew build his nest: "I watched a documentary about penguins once where the male penguins would build big, fancy nests out of shiny pebbles to attract mates, but I've only ever seen Dew sleep in his nest alone." -hands on his hips- "I mean, he's not a penguin, but that seems kind of lonely... Maybe I should join him...?" -Several Hours Later- Swiss, trapped under a sleeping Dew, surrounded by an Ikea's worth of pillows: "...I have been pebbled." Dew: -pleased little penguinlike noises-

Rain, very tired and clingy: "Dew, if we were penguins, I would make you a nest out of the best, prettiest rocks so we could raise our adopted egg baby in penguin-y luxury." Dew, who is half asleep and only heard the word penguin: "I could take one in a fight, I think-"
