A Surprise Visit
Author's Note: This is the official start of my season three rewrite. To quickly recap how I ended season two, MC basically convinces Solomon to live with them in their home instead of the two of them going their separate ways. That's number one. Number two is I'm axing the whole babysitter gig setup, because I feel like it's a bit unnecessary (and weird).
So, without further ado, the first part of lesson 41 is under the cut.
MC
Solomon looks over my shoulder and examines the potion I prepared in the cauldron.
"Nicely done," he remarks. "Just the right shade of blue."
"Thanks," I reply, quickly glancing up at him.
"You know, you've done a nice job keeping up with everything I've taught you. You're certainly one of my better apprentices." I chuckle.
"I mean, I would like to not destroy my home."
"Or any surrounding ones." I turn my full attention to him, confused as to why he would say that. He merely shrugs as he adds,
"It's happened before."
"I see." Should I be worried?
"Anyway, you almost have the fundamentals down. Pretty soon, you'll be able to get your Sorcerer's License, and I can begin teaching you summoning magic."
"I'm sure the brothers would appreciate that."
"Oh, probably. They like you alright." His smirk indicates that he wants to start bantering with me. He does it on a daily basis, and I've gotten pretty good at coming up with good responses on the fly.
Suddenly, someone knocks on my door.
"I'll get it," Solomon states, patting me on the shoulder and kissing me on the temple before leaving the room. I take the opportunity to begin pouring my potion--a serum that causes people to change size--into the bottles Solomon set up in front of me.
Just as I finish filling the first bottle, Solomon returns.
"It would seem as though the brothers got tired of waiting," he tells me.
"What do you mean?" I ask, setting the cauldron down.
"Surprise!" Asmo pops his head in the room and waves excitedly at me.
At least, I think it's Asmo. His hair's a lot longer than usual, and his choice of makeup makes him look rather feminine.
As he steps into full view and reveals his outfit--a spaghetti tanktop, a denim miniskirt that barely covers his crotch, and strappy high heels--I realize that he's in drag. And it looks good.
Has he done this before?
"You alright, MC?" Solomon asks, walking over and touching my shoulder.
"I'm sure they are," Asmo answers before I can open my mouth. "They're just in awe of my beauty."
"Just the same as always," Solomon quips, causing Asmo to stick his tongue out at him.
"What are you doing here?" The question comes out a lot more quietly than I was expecting. Maybe it's because I can't stop staring at Asmo. For once, he's right; I am in awe.
"Here in your home, or here in the human world?"
"B-Both, I guess." Asmo clasps his hands together.
"Well, after you left, Diavolo started making plans for us to come visit you in the human world. He and Lucifer bought a property nearby, and we've been working on making it our own for a few months. We just finished last week." He briefly pauses. "I've actually been sent to pick you up and take you over there. That is, if that's alright with your teacher over there." He smiles at Solomon, who nods his head.
"I think we've reached a good stopping point for today," he replies, glancing over at me.
"Great! I'll help you pack." Huh?
"Asmo!" I call out before he can go too far.
"Yes, MC?" He bats his eyes at me, and I have to force myself to focus.
"As much as I appreciate the enthusiasm, I can't spend the night. I have to work tomorrow." Asmo stares at me blankly. "You know...the job that helps me pay my bills?"
"Oh right! You don't have to worry about that for a while." That can't mean what I think it means.
"Asmo...what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. It was all Diavolo." He didn't...
"MC isn't like you guys," Solomon pipes up. "They rely on their job to make ends meet. It's not like they can just leave at will." This makes Asmo widen his eyes.
"No, no, no! It's not like that at all!" he exclaims. "MC, you still have your job. Diavolo just arranged for you to be on vacation until we returned to the Devildom." He walks over and clasps my hands. "I am so sorry for worrying you like that, MC." I sigh.
"That only covers part of it. What about--"
"Check your bank account."
"What?"
"I got it," Solomon states, leaving the room and returning with my laptop. Once he pulls up my online account, he shows the screen to me, revealing...
"Is that four zeros?"
"It appears so, yes." He clicks on the checking account to view transaction details. "It looks like Diavolo's been transferring money to your account. At least, I assume that's who 'David Prince' is." Asmo nods his head.
"We thought it best to adopt human alias while we were here." Well, that explains the drag. "I decided to go with Azzy."
"The name suits you," I tell him, still staring at the screen.
I can't believe that Diavolo went out of his way to do something like this for me. It's not like I've ever expected him to provide for me or anything.
"So, am I good to start packing?" Asmo asks.
"Sure." I make sure to follow him as he enters my room. If I leave him unsupervised, there's no telling what he'd do in there.

Foxy Crew: Concept Poster- Roxy Raceway
I eventually want to draw this out in the art style of the other posters in-game for Security Breach, I've got the idea down at least.
One of Bangle and Bitty's roles, aside from being Foxy's crewmates and right and left hand foxes are to help the other animatronics at their locations when if the animatronic is getting overwhelmed by patrons.
Bangle and Bitty will get sent in-between show times and help lighten the load for them.
This happens with Roxy the most, as one of her big draw in's for the race track is the patrons being able to race her personally. As a side effect, she has the least amount of time to scope her whole area.
Since Bangle and Bitty are also the easiest animatronics to change the outfits on- they have custom uniforms per area. Racing jackets, jazzercise leotards, golfing attire, even space cadet jumpsuits for fazerblast. These serve two purposes- a) to keep Bangle and Bitty from standing out TOO much in an attraction and b) beta test any potential clothes merchandise for the pizzaplex.
COMMISSIONS OPEN
(I also now have a Kofi!)

If you own The Crew™ from Ubisoft.
PLEASE watch this video.
We have a chance to Fight Back against Ubisoft and the practice of Killing Online-Only games.
With The Crew shutting down on April 1st Ross from accursed farms (the guy who made Freeman's Mind) is planning a mass campaign worldwide, and needs help.
We need Everyone in the EU, but especially Germany and France to help.
Here's what you can do to help:
Save proof of purchase of your The Crew copy. Be it physical or digital, make sure you have proof you owned it. If you own the game digitally take a screenshot of the game in your library, with your account name included in the photo.
Contact Ubisoft now, asking them how to play the game past April 1st. This will help set a precident that you attempted to resolve the issue beforehand.
If you know your country's local consumer laws please contact ross regarding them at
[email protected].
If you are from France, you can send a Mail to Ubisoft regarding the issue according to these instructions.
This will help once again setting a precident for the upcoming campaign.
Unfortunately, if you are in America you cannot help.
According to ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg you do not own ANY of your games.
Please help spread the word.
This may be our only chance to force companies to make online only games that get shut down playable.
