- Owls and a Fool Chapter I Part XI
- >”Just make sure you win Millie her prize so we can actually leave this dump.”
- >Moxxie’s face scrunches with visible comic frustration
- >”Just pulling your leg, Moxxie. See you two soon!”
- >”Ugh, see you soon Anon.”
- >”Bye, Nonny!”
- >It was good Anon was facing the opposite direction when she said that
- >Millie’s already got a nickname for him
- >For all he cared she could just snap his neck with her thighs and he’d die a happy man
- >And his beet red face proved that
- >On his way to the circus, Anon noticed a red and black blur flying out of the roof
- >It’s coming down FAST
- >”Torches! I say, I say! Get your inconvenient torches here!”
- >The blur that ended up being Blitzo crashed into the vendor, spilling the green fire onto the cotton walls of the circus
- >”Ow, I said OW!”
- >It’s all on fire, including the poorly made animatronics
- >What follows is pure nightmare fuel as melting robots emerge from the blaze, followed by a deranged robotic Fizzarolli
- >Ock has mentioned him before, but he hasn’t ever recalled seeing Fizz himself
- >Wait- weren’t Stolas and Ock in there?!
- >”DAD? OCK?!”
- >Dashing through the fire, Anon frantically searches for the two, only to find nothing
- >He quickly rushes out of the circus, coughing up his lungs from the smoke as he spots Moxxie, Millie, Blitzo, and a terrifying Robo Fizz surrounded by flames
- >”Oh, hey guys! You should probably go uh, make sure Stolas is okay, I… got some unfinished business to take care of.”
- >”Come on, Anon, let's hurry!”
- >Anon follows the imps into a fun house with paralyzing worry crawling up his back
- >”Um- I think I’m supposed to be bodyguarded right now!”
- >BLAM!
- >An unamused Stolas and another dead assassin are spotted inside
- >The fear quickly turns into warm relief
- >Anon rushes over to the lanky owl, embracing him in a tight hug
- >”Thank Satan you’re okay, dad.”
- -
- Owls and a Fool Chapter I Part XII
- >Stolas gives a warm coo as he shares a loving hug back
- >”Damn you, you scared me half to death.”
- >They let each other go with a smile plastered on both faces
- >With a look up, Stolas is disappointed to see Moxxie and Millie instead of Blitzo
- >”Wait a minute, where is Blitzy? He’s my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones!”
- >Millie slides down to the floor, followed by Moxxie
- >”He’s uh… busy.”
- >”Being a fool.”
- >Stolas tilts his head in curiosity
- >”What kind of fool?”
- >Moxxie rolls his eyes with irritation
- >”The ‘Everything is now on fire’ kind.”
- >It’s almost as if Stolas couldn’t be less content with the citation given his ‘are you serious’ expression
- >”Hey, you two go find Blitzo. I’ll handle this.”
- >The two imps run off to deal with whatever the hell was now happening outside
- >”I’m so sorry about that, Nonny! Your sister ran off and- I went after her…”
- >Stolas sighs with stress as he runs his hands through his hair
- >”I… messed up. She’s really upset and I don’t know where she went.”
- >”Well then, come on!”
- >Anon drags Stolas through the fun house, clenching his clawed hand as they make their way through the obstacle filled attraction
- >They come to find a crying Octavia by herself on a rotating track
- >Both feel a harsh tinge of guilt in their stomachs at the sight
- >”Remember what I said about support, dad?”
- >”I’ll help you along the way, but I can’t resolve the problem for you. You have to be the one facing it head on.”
- >”She’d probably be more willing to listen to you anyway.”
- >”But-”
- >”No buts. You caused this, you fix it. I’ll be outside with the others.”
- >Anon tightly clenches Stolas’ claws with a reassuring smile
- >”You’ve got this.”
- -
- Owls and a Fool Chapter I Part XIII
- >Anon unholsters his Ruger and leaves to assist the imps
- >”Support…”
- >”Face it head on, Stolas.”
- >As Stolas assures himself with a newfound confidence, he approaches the crying Octavia, wrapping herself in her arms
- >”Octavia?”
- >Stolas drops his now frowning hat to the floor with a reverberating THUD
- >”I take it you are… not having fun?”
- >”I didn’t even want to come here!”
- >”I’m sorry sweetie I- I thought you loved it here.”
- >Octavia’s face fills with slight vitriol as she sniffles away her tears
- >”When I was a kid and my family didn’t hate each other… and my dad didn’t flirt with some weird red dickhead the entire time.”
- >Stay strong, Stolas. Do it for her.
- >”I’m sorry, Via, I’m sorry for- everything- happening right now. I know it’s- a lot, I-”
- >Don’t lose it, keep it together.
- >”I should have listened.”
- >Octavia’s emotions now begin to pour as her face shows more stress
- >”I just want to go home... but home doesn’t even feel like home anymore.”
- >”Anon is fighting tooth and nail to keep it all together while you and mom are just sitting there watching it happen.”
- >”Via-”
- >”What if he breaks from the pressure because of you? We-We’re not even honest with him!”
- >“We’re just watching him trying to breathe underneath the weight of it all.”
- >”I…”
- >More tears fall from Octavia’s face, now freely streaming down her cheeks
- >”I can’t live seeing him like this, I just can’t… you ruined it.”
- >”You need to understand, Your mother and Anon…”
- >Stolas rubs the back of his head in guilt
- >”They’re… I felt…”
- >Speak, damn it!
- >”He’s always been- I haven’t been- I…”
- >You can’t even comfort your own kid, Stolas? How dare you call yourself a father?
- >”I’m sorry I-I don’t have the words!”
