  1. <PurpleKoopa> Time has passed, and Twelfth Perigee's Eve is finally here... or some day close enough to it, anyway. Honestly, it was hard enough keeping track of time in these bubbles, where the days almost seemed to blend into each other. But still, there was a party to be had, and Crabdad would be damned if he wasn't the crustacean to throw it. The room was flourishing
  2. <PurpleKoopa> with hastily thrown together decorations, and the lusus was finishing up the dead behemoth, sprinkling it with all manner of spice and garnish. He's got like... BBQ sauce, salad dressing, a little bit of salt and vinegar... pretty much everything he could dig out of the kitchen cabinets. This will truly be a feast for the ages, he thought.

  6. -*- PounceFurLeon arrives with little to no ceremony, slipping into the kitchen to join the crustacean. Her form isn't the same as Pincers over here, hailing from different alternate realities or what have you, but they get along alright nevertheless. Enough that she was invited anyway.
  7. <PounceFurLeon> "Hello Sebastian - do you mind if I sneak by you there? I brought cluckbeast and pickerel, just gonna stick them in the oven." And - Oh look! Pounce is wearing a white-and-green holiday sweater.

  10. <PurpleKoopa> "OH YEAH. SURE THING, POUNCE," bellowed the crustacean. He moved out of the way and dragged the beast across the kitchen counter, giving enough room for Pounce to get to the oven. "PRETTY AWESOME YOU COULD GET YOUR SCRUFFY TAIL IN HERE. I WAS STARTING TO THINK I WAS GONNA HAVE TO DEVOUR THIS MESS MYSELF. WHICH WOULDN'T BE COMPLETELY /TERRIBLE/, ALL THINGS
  11. <PurpleKoopa> CONSIDERED."

  14. <PounceFurLeon> Metal trays slide into the oven while Pounce bends over, swaying said scruffy tail in Crabdad's general direction. "I'm happy to attend! Is it true Jaspersprite was one of the furst on your guest list? I'd like to s33 him again - especially at a party." she asks, standing upright again.
  15. --> non (Mibbit@adsl-98-89-3-72.mgm.bellsouth.net) has joined #dickmegle
  16. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad lays a pincer on the counter and tries to stand nonchalantly, which for him is an achievement to not crush the table in two. "YEAH, PRINCESS POOFYPUSS SHOULD BE HERE PRETTY SOON. HE'S BEEN LIKE, MY PERSONAL DELIVERYCAT FOR THIS SHINDIG."
  17. <PurpleKoopa> "HOW EXACTLY DO YOU KNOW HIM AGAIN? IS IT LIKE FELINES OF A FURBALL STICK TOGETHER OR SOMETHING? WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT HAIRBALLS TEND TO DO, SO YEAH, THAT'D BE PERFECT."
  18. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Jaspers is rather proud of his invitation quest! Sure, there wouldn't be quite as many people joining as he previously anticipated, but... that's okay! That only means the food will last longer, and he'll get to spend time with all of his wonderful friends. He was veeery careful in inviting people, slipping his /very/ special hand (tentacle) made invitati
  19. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> ons under door after door. ... Even Dante's and Vergil's. Maybe-- maybe this would be just the thing they needed to get their attitudes back in check! If there's anything that'll do it, it's the spirit of Christmas. ... Though, /that/ feels like it'd be a Christmas miracle. 3:
  20. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ... Twelfth Perigee's Eve. Same thing! He... thinks!

  24. -*- KnightStrider today was a good day to be Dave Strider, you know why? Because today was the day that Dave decided to actually do something outside of making web comics, sick beats and sweet rhymes in his room all day.
  25. <PounceFurLeon> "...Not a horrible idiom, if not a bit offensive..." Pounce considers before answering. "I met Jaspersprite here in the manor with his friend Mewtini, a while ago. Befur the holidays were upawn us. Ahem - upon." Pounce covers her mouth with a paw, trying to correct that habit of hers. Bit embarrassed bout it, really.
  26. -*- KnightStrider so down to the living room he goes, all snazzied up for the holidays in an ugly red christmas sweater that has a cheery snow man on it. Looking good Dave, looking good. Stridering on down he noticed the decorations and smell of fresh food, and one happy princess cat in particular. "hey jaspers"
  27. <PounceFurLeon> "Nice tomcat! Very genuine. Bit naive... Reminds me of Nepeta a bit. They'd make good friends. If not murr than friends! Hehe."
  28. <-> Ihdisith is now known as GrandpaHarley
  29. <GrandpaHarley> [[oh goddamnit why is there only one shade of green]]
  30. <PounceFurLeon> (this is green)
  31. <GrandpaHarley> [[that is a hideous green]]
  32. <PounceFurLeon> (shhh you'll offend jade)
  33. <abstersiveTournure> [Not really good for Grandpa. Certainly not without a black background.]
  34. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord http://oi47.tinypic.com/ra58k4.jpg Finally gets Tinypic to work
  35. <PounceFurLeon> (omg jaspers you so presh)
  36. <KnightStrider> (Best invitation ever.)
  37. <GrandpaHarley> i can't do background colours with mibbit]]
  38. <abstersiveTournure> [Jaspurrs omf]
  39. <abstersiveTournure> [Also I think there's a code for it? Like]
  40. -*- PurpleKoopa excellent artwork as always, jaspers. you do wonders with crayons.
  41. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> [[You have no comprehension how proud he is of fancatstic]]
  42. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Also Dave I'm still typing up an intro h r k
  43. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Just
  44. -*- KnightStrider oops.
  45. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Writers block
  46. <abstersiveTournure> [/style bg_black or something]
  47. -*- KnightStrider take your time.
  48. -*- GrandpaHarley bursts through the door, elephant gun at the ready, and grins as he sees Crabdad "Gotcha"
  49. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Bearing a wide and excited smile, the party planning sprite makes his way to the dining room in due time, donning a particularly snazzy little santa hat in place of his own cap. The words /Meowrry/ /Christmas/ sewn into the brim. There's enough christmas cheer radiating off this feline to make Scrouge pass out cooked geese like cigars.
  50. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "Oh gosh everything looks so delicious yes good this is perfect. 83"
  51. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad puts his pincers against his sides and rolls his four eyes at Pounce's puns. Heh heh. /Punce/. "YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY OUGHTA STOP DOING THAT. /BECLAWS/ IT'S REALLY MAKING ME. UH. /CRABBY/. HA HA. AND--"
  52. -*- KnightStrider and then everything was ruined because Dave walked in.
  53. -*- PurpleKoopa (V)OmO(V)
  54. <GrandpaHarley> "...wait, blast it. You just spoke."
  55. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ...
  56. -*- GrandpaHarley mutters angrily as the gun is returned to his strife specibus
  57. <PounceFurLeon> ((( (V)♀m♀(V) had to try it--)))
  58. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Did that guy have a gun--
  59. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord iS HE GOING TO STEAL THEIR CHRISTMAS--
  60. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord OH *NO*--
  61. -*- KnightStrider he IS typing in green.
  62. <-- timaeusTestified (~robertyPo@pool-71-173-35-218.sctnpa.east.verizon.net) has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
  63. <GrandpaHarley> "None of the rest of you buggers have talked... "
  64. -*- KnightStrider he MUST be the grinch!!
  65. -*- PounceFurLeon This party is now a Christmas Special
  66. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "I-- Wh--"
  67. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "I can talk i can talk! 38"
  68. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Tentacles up in the air. Please don't steal his christmas/perigees eve and/or maim him.
  69. <PurpleKoopa> The monstrous crab suddenly looks around the room in confusion, trying to figure out where that noise is coming from. "WHAT? HUH? WHO JUST SAID-- OHHHH. LOOK WHO THINKS HE'S THE BIG GAME HUNTER. PUT DOWN THE GUN, GRAMPS. MY CLAWS HAVE GOT A SPEEDIER TRIGGER THAN YOU."
  70. -*- KnightStrider will just sort of, pop up behind Jaspers and attempts to tickle him.
  71. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Dave stop he's trying to be aFRAID FOR HIS LIFEHEHEHE--
  72. -*- KnightStrider hmmm, yes, good results, tickle tickle.
  73. <PounceFurLeon> "I'm trying to stop! It's an embarrassing little habit please do bear with me - I think I picked it up from Nepeta, or the other way around--" And then there were gunm'n. Big gunm'n. "Do you uh, know this hunter, Sebastian?" Pounce asks, looking between the two.
  74. <GrandpaHarley> "Bah, when they talk it feels more like murder than hunting. What the devil are you doing, anyway?"
  75. <PounceFurLeon> "We're cooking up what we ourselves hunted down, actually. I'm sure you're familiar with such... Sir."
  76. -*- abstersiveTournure He really, really didn't want to do this again. The daily ventures for food, whenever Dante's fake-body dictated that it ought to be hungry, were always painfully stressful, even after doing them so often. Grabbing whatever crappy leftovers were in the fridge was Dante's style so he never complained much, except when it wasn't pizza.
  77. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Following not too far behind would be none other than Carley Murray, /ACE/ /REPORTER/. Though she can only say she's ever been one of those things. It was moreso a matter of keeping Jasper's feelings in good condition than having nothing better to do. Because she /did/ have a lot of better things to do. Much, much better things to do.
  78. -*- abstersiveTournure Unsurprisingly, everyone else in the afterworld did not eat pizza for every meal, so there was no overabundance of it in the refrigerator. When there was, he made a special point of hoarding it, hidden at the back behind the spoilt milk that no one had disposed of yet. (He didn't question how the milk had spoiled.)
  79. -*- abstersiveTournure You're fucking welcome, dear little brother.
  80. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Finding someone capable of navigating the bubbles, being one of them. But no matter how much she searched, the results were never fruitful. Not a /single/ /person/ was able, it seemed. ... Nobody trustable, anyhow.
  81. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord There was always Alpha.
  82. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord But hahaha.
  83. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord /Hahahahaha/.
  84. <KnightStrider> (FFFF)
  85. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad continues living up to his moniker by looking downright crabby, as if not believing in giant talking animals was something to be admonished. "IT'S A TWELFTH PERIGEE'S EVE PARTY, OLD MAN. YOU MISS THE BANNER OR WHAT." He points a claw to said banner, which reads "12 PRIG'ES EVe." Handwriting is not Crabdad's forte.
  86. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord 3:>
  87. -*- KnightStrider will take the moment to stop the tickling. "hey"
  88. <GrandpaHarley> "What in blazes is twelfth perigrees eve?," he demanded
  89. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Oh, well. Setting aside those problems for now may do her some good. It was stressful work, and she--
  90. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Gunm'n. Laughter.
  91. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord o
  92. <PounceFurLeon> Pounce De Leon: Resist urge to swoon for fellow hunter with an intriguing accent.
  93. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ... Ahem. Yes. Mrow. "Yes it is a twelfth perigees eve party and you are welcome to join us! So long as you do not hurt anyone or steal anything. 3:>"
  94. -*- PounceFurLeon especially not steal Christmas
  95. -*- cattyCarole Mrow, what door? A door implied that she was in a room! And that was just silly. :3
  96. <PurpleKoopa> "YEAH, HEATHCLIFF'S GOT IT RIGHT. DO I REALLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS HOLIDAY TO EVERY TOM, DICK, AND HARRY WHO BARGES IN HERE WITH A TRUNKBEAST GUN?"
  97. -*- abstersiveTournure Right then was another of those sustenance ventures -- tromping more than walking down the stairs with a heaviness in place of his usual precise, decisive grace. He could smell from the top of the stairs that there was a lot of food out, but didn't think much of it, rounding the corner at the bottom of the sairs to enter the kitchen what the hell was happening in the front room.
  98. <KnightStrider> wait so like a troll christmas party?
  99. <GrandpaHarley> "Bollocks to 12 Prig'es, don't you know it's nearly christmas?"
  100. <PounceFurLeon> "I don't see any trolls here do you?" Pounce answers the Strider.
  101. <PounceFurLeon> (not often i can say that-)
  102. -*- abstersiveTournure There was Jaspers, the oversized crab creature, another feline, Strider, and some elderly gentleman with an elephant gun. He looked like the kind of man who might appreciate a monocle, though he had bifocals. They were all dressed up, mostly in sweaters to Vergil's, for once, plain blue tee-shirt.
  103. -*- abstersiveTournure For the first time in his life, he felt remarkably under-dressed.
  104. <GrandpaHarley> "....."
  105. -*- GrandpaHarley is squinting at Dave
  106. -*- abstersiveTournure ...In his death.
  107. -*- cattyCarole The nuns always did tell her that she couldn't just sleep on top of the abbey's roof or in the nearby forest, so she felt a teeny bit bad about her choice... But it was different now, wasn't it? This was a better place. A place where no one would bawk or ogle her just because she was a bit fluffier than most!
  108. -*- abstersiveTournure First time in his life or death.
  109. <GrandpaHarley> [[catty, who the hell you playing?]]
  110. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "I thought twelve Peri. Perig. Whatever, was, like. Alien culture festivities."
  111. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "..."
  112. <KnightStrider> no man i mean like the troll version of christmas
  113. <PurpleKoopa> "YEAH. UH. OF COURSE I KNEW THAT." Crabdad turned to Jaspers and put a claw up to his mouth, trying to be discreet. "(YO, CATBREATH. WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU FIND ALL OF THESE PEOPLE? I'M PRETTY SURE YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ALL THESE SLIGHTLY LESS HAIRY MONKEY GUYS.)"
  114. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "All this food is okay to eat for not-crabs and not-cats, right? I mean."
  115. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "I don't think xeno food poisoning is my biggest concern anymore, but y'know."
  116. <KnightStrider> i didnt even think that was possible you know with trolls like murdering each other all the time and everything
  117. -*- cattyCarole It could've been better, true. She couldn't find any of the nuns up here-- or any of the pretty angels she had been promised, either-- and all of her friends always seemed so down all the time! She couldn't even see one of them because he was super, super sick!
  118. <KnightStrider> how the fuck you supposed to have christmas when santas just another troll stabbing you in the face?
  119. -*- cattyCarole It made her.
  120. -*- cattyCarole Sad. 3:
  121. -*- PounceFurLeon thumbs toward the beast Crabdad is... "seasoning". "I'm not sure about this dish, but what's in the oven right now is purrfectly edible for humans and such."
  122. -*- cattyCarole ...B-but she had a forest now! And new friends! Really good new friends! :3
  123. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(Oh! Well i invited everybody i told you i would invite. But then i realized it would be such a better idea to give everybody in the house an invitation! That way we would have more people to join us and have even more fun. :3"
  124. <GrandpaHarley> "YOU! You're the Strider boy, aren't you?"
  125. <KnightStrider> ...?
  126. <KnightStrider> huh?
  127. -*- cattyCarole One of those new friends had even personally invited her to his party! It was a, um, um--
  128. <KnightStrider> what?
  129. <KnightStrider> im a strider boy
  130. <KnightStrider> is that a problem?
  131. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(I do not think a lot of them could come though. :<)"
  132. <KnightStrider> and if it is you wanna fight about it?
  133. -*- cattyCarole 12th Parigee's Eve!
  134. -*- cattyCarole Yeah!
  135. <GrandpaHarley> "Hass Harley - Jade's grandfather," he says, giving Dave a wrist-crushingly firm handshake
  136. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "Oh gosh please do not fight we should not be fighting. 3:"
  137. <KnightStrider> ...
  138. -*- cattyCarole She wasn't sure what that actually was, but it sounded like a whole lot of fun! There would be food and singing and dancing and--
  139. <PounceFurLeon> "Actually fighting is pretty common in - 'troll christmas', as that boy put it."
  140. -*- abstersiveTournure They had a large array of food laid out, and, setting aside the fact that he probably stuck out like a sore blue thumb (mostly because he didn't really care), he very slowly meandered in the direction that they were congregated -- then stopped short and instead grabbed a plate that was set out by the table of food. The smell made him more want to vomit than anything but the feeling was familiar and subdued, so he quickly started piling food on the plate.
  141. <abstersiveTournure> [Did that cut off?]
  142. <PounceFurLeon> (yup)
  143. -*- PurpleKoopa The smell made him more want to vomit than anything but the feeling was familiar and subdued, so h]]
  144. <KnightStrider> i agree on the no fighting thing buuuut id also like to add no hand crushing either thanks
  145. -*- cattyCarole Oh, it sounded like such a ball! She couldn't wait to attend! She even pulled out her best party dress! It was still pretty loose and--
  146. -*- abstersiveTournure so he quickly started piling food on the plate -- quickly at first but then with more care, as though to make sure it was presentable. It was practically Christmas dinner, after all.
  147. <PurpleKoopa> "(...THERE HAD BETTER BE ENOUGH BEAST FOR MY STOMACH. OTHERWISE I'M GONNA HAVE TO START DWINDLING THE GUEST LIST, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT.)"
  148. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(... No i do not think i catch your drift but it does not sound like a good thing. 3: )"
  149. <PounceFurLeon> "Sebastian." Pounce scolds, swatting the crab on the claw.
  150. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(Sebastian is an extra nice name why did you not tell me your name! :0)"
  151. -*- cattyCarole Maybe a little bit 'skimpy', as some of her other friends might call it. B-but it was still pretty modest! She knew better than that. Adultery begat in the heart before it begat in the flesh, after all. u3u
  152. -*- cattyCarole Still no shoes though.
  153. -*- cattyCarole That just couldn't be helped! 3:
  154. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord isn't even wearing pants r/n
  155. <PounceFurLeon> (I can't tell who cattyCarole is playing as)
  156. -*- cattyCarole that's because you have no legs!
  157. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord I almost posted that in purple]]
  158. -*- cattyCarole silly jaspurrs
  159. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord <:3
  160. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad draws his swatted claw back, more out of surprise than anything else. "HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FO--" His sentence gets cut off by a low, gurgling noise that vaguely sounds like whale noises. "WHOOP. TUMMY'S CALLING THE SHOTS HERE, AND NOW HE SAYS IT'S DINNERTIME. HOW'S THAT CLUCKBEAST COMING ALONG, POUNCEY?"
  161. -*- abstersiveTournure Carley pls]
  162. -*- GrandpaHarley does not release his grip, and instead leans down to look Dave directly in the eyes. "What, exactly, are your intentions with my granddaughter, hm?"
  163. <PounceFurLeon> (uh oh dave)
  164. <PurpleKoopa> "(BECAUSE IT'S A DUMB NAME AND I HATE IT. IMAGINE IF MY KID CALLED ME THAT. THE EMBARRASSMENT WOULD BE ALMOST /PALPABLE/.)"
  165. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "Sounds great-- god, I can't even /remember/ my last christmas dinner. Or, uh. Perigees dinner."
  166. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ...
  167. -*- cattyCarole But it was still pretty enough, she hoped! She didn't want to let Jaspers down, after all. She even tried her hardest to walk as a proper lady would, strolling the stairs with the greatest of esteem. No hopping or skipping or leaping or anything.
  168. -*- PounceFurLeon turns, bends over, and opens up that oven. "Well I can't call you crabdad now can I Sebastian. That would be just silly. Also, I think it's cooked through!"
  169. -*- cattyCarole ...Still couldn't help the singing, though. Who said a proper lady couldn't sing? That was just silly.
  170. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Oh. Dante's brother decided to drop by, too. While Dante took the whole, uh... /incident/ rather harshly-- as to be expected-- Vergil was certainly affected in his own ways. Probably thought he couldn't watch out for his brother or something. She felt like she should say something to him, at some point or another, but...
  171. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Right now? During a christmas supper? /Right/ before they eat?
  172. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord She'll drop that drama bomb later. Much, much later.
  173. -*- cattyCarole "Annnnd out theeere! Living in the suuuun! Give me one daaaaay out there!"
  174. -*- PounceFurLeon pulls the cluckbeast and pickerel out of the oven, steaming hot, and sets them on a couple platters, which can be added to the dining room table.
  175. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(Sebastian is not a dumb name! It is only dumb if /you/ say it is dumb. :3)"
  176. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(I like it and that is that. Meow!)"
  177. -*- KnightStrider whoops, zoned out there for a minute there. "huh? jade? ah yeah shes sweet you know real cool and shit"
  178. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(It is hard to meow when you are trying to be quiet i hope that was quiet enough.)"
  179. <KnightStrider> "(what are we whispering about?)"
  180. -*- abstersiveTournure ...Oh, there was. Singing.
  181. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(Are we gossiping now, or.)"
  182. <KnightStrider> "(oh cool is this like christmas gossip hour?"
  183. <PurpleKoopa> "OH MAN. THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIO-- OH MY GOD WHAT IS THAT SCREECHING. THAT IS NOT MY SCREECHING. I WOULD RECOGNIZE IT IF IT WERE." Crabdad puts his pincers against the sides of his head! Goddammit, where was that karaoke machine he rented??
  184. -*- cattyCarole And there she goes, twirling and swirling down the stairs. Her bright red dress ruffled around her, just barely touching her knees. Long dresses were too itchy. 3:
  185. <-- GrandpaHarley (Mibbit@c-174-54-189-45.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  186. <PounceFurLeon> "(Sebastian is too embarrassed about his name to speak of it in his usual loud tone.)" a catlady explains.
  187. -*- cattyCarole Also, you couldn't jump in them. That was a big downer!
  188. <KnightStrider> "(wait so his name is sebastian?)"
  189. -*- abstersiveTournure As though set off by the sound, Vergil frantically finished scooping mashed potatos and gravy onto the plate and turning to retreat from the room.
  190. -*- KnightStrider I know I'd be upset if I couldn't jump 'cus of my big red dresses and their ruffles.
  191. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ... Oh! So there was! He almost didn't catch it, what with him whispering so loudly. He perks his head up a bit, an ear pivoting in the direction of the tune. How cheery! He pokes his head up to look, and--
  192. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ... Oh, gosh. Vergil came! And Jaspers didn't even get to say hi! No wonder he's scurrying away. He must be offended! 38
  193. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(Who names a giant crab sebastian--)"
  194. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(I mean, uh.)"
  195. <KnightStrider> ...
  196. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(Who /doesn/'/t/ name a giant crab sebastian?)"
  197. -*- KnightStrider you're on your own carley...
  198. -*- cattyCarole Her massive blue curls trailed behind her as she sang, taking her precious time down the stairs. Every note perfectly hit in a sopranic warble, crooning with the greatest of enthuasiasm. Practice did make perfect, after all, and she had practiced this one a lot!
  199. -*- KnightStrider scoots away to block Vergil's path and get some food, two birds with one stone, yesss.
  200. -*- PounceFurLeon stands up straight and flicks her tail. "Well, I think it's a perfectly handsome name, but even saying that might embarrass him, so..."
  201. -*- abstersiveTournure Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick -- (He just refrained from hissing the words aloud because she'd always given him that damn look when he said stuff like that, even though she then added that Jesus probably would enjoy pogo sticks!)
  202. -*- abstersiveTournure Fuck you, Strider.
  203. -*- KnightStrider love you too man.
  204. -*- KnightStrider casually glances over to Vergil. "so before you slink away to wherever the fuck youve been hiding i think you need to answer a few questions"
  205. -*- abstersiveTournure "I disagree."
  206. -*- cattyCarole "All I ask is ooooone, to hoooold forever!"
  207. <KnightStrider> what? so youre going to leave me to rot in worry? gee thanks man thanks a lot
  208. <PurpleKoopa> Alright, that is /it/. Crabdad SLAMS his gripping claws against the counter, knocking the dishes into the air! Thankfully, most of them manage to come down unharmed. You uh, might not want to step where the mashed potatoes landed, though. "OKAY, THE NEXT CHUMP WHO MENTIONS THAT NAME THAT TOTALLY ISN'T MINE GETS THEIR LIPS YANKED CLEAN OFF THEIR UGLY FACE."
  209. <KnightStrider> and here i was hoping i could get a little insight as to where my fucking friends have been for the past for fucking ever but i guess not
  210. <PurpleKoopa> "CRABICHE???? (V)imi(V)"
  211. -*- cattyCarole She's coming closer, boy. You can almost smell the scent of dandelions and pine trees, just around the corner.
  212. -*- cattyCarole "Ouuuut there, where they live uuuunaware~"
  213. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord The sprite jumps at the sudden slamming of claws, eyes widening in their sockets at the abrupt noise. He didn't-- didn't /mean/ to upset anybody! He was just. He just wanted to say that it was a nice name to have, is all, and--
  214. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord And--
  215. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord 38>
  216. -*- abstersiveTournure He could smell the dandelions and pine trees. He huffed a sigh, shifted uncomfortably, and looked away from Dave. "...It's not a simple story," he ground out quietly after a moment.
  217. <KnightStrider> i have time man
  218. -*- PounceFurLeon places an arm on Crabdad's shoulder, as a lusus-friend. "Except me, right Sebastian?" she asks with a smile. She knows the crab is violent but doubts he would ever harm /her/.
  219. -*- abstersiveTournure "I don't." Despite his words, he didn't look particularly hopeful about escaping the situation. His opportunity to slip away was gone.
  220. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "... /Hey/, you know what we /completely/ forgot to do before dinner? We forgot to-- forgot to, uh."
  221. -*- abstersiveTournure Pray --
  222. -*- abstersiveTournure Wash our tentacles/claws/paws --
  223. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Yes thank you. "Say grace! Yeah, we did. Why don't we just. Do that." She's pretty sure she didn't want a ticked off giant crab on their hands. A hungry one, no less.
  224. -*- KnightStrider slings an arm around Vergil's shoulders. "sucks to be you" Will just guiiide the both of them up to the lovely singing cat lady before giving a slow clap. As his arm is still around Vergil's shoulders the clapping requires him to give the guy an awkward sort of hug, not that Dave cared.
  225. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Death or no, getting eaten isn't something she wants to go through.
  226. -*- abstersiveTournure hEY DANTE DON'T FORGET TO
  227. -*- abstersiveTournure WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU EAT
  228. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Not again.
  229. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord DANTE,,,,,,,,,,,,
  230. -*- PounceFurLeon pats the crab-shoulder again. "Would you care to do the honours, as the host? Or prefur someone else say grace?"
  231. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil swallowed sharply and remained silent. It was the kind of thing Dante would do -- sling his arms around his brother's shoulders and drag him around, and on occasion Vergil would tolerate it. Occasion. He wouldn't mind it, now.
  232. -*- cattyCarole "What I'd giiiiiive--"
  233. -*- cattyCarole "Wooould I daaaare--"
  234. <KnightStrider> bravo
  235. <KnightStrider> bravo
  236. -*- KnightStrider nudges against Vergil. "cmon clap"
  237. -*- cattyCarole "Just to live one day ooooooout theeeee--"
  238. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(Shhh shhh dave she is not done silly. :3)"
  239. <KnightStrider> oops
  240. -*- abstersiveTournure And there she was. He had made a point not to run into her much. And it hadn't been hard. She'd been around, smelling strongly of the wilderness, and familiar, and he'd avoided her. Simplicity itself.
  241. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(You are supposed to save the applause for when the song is over! But yes i agree bravo. 83)"
  242. -*- cattyCarole ...Oh! She had an audience! Silly her, she thought everyone was still in the kitchen. She wasn't expecting anyone to actually come and listen.
  243. -*- abstersiveTournure "(I'm carrying a plate,)" he pointed out under his breath, so as not to interrupt the lovely song. Or draw attention. He really wasn't looking at her much at all, really.
  244. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad nearly snaps back at his friend for doing /just/ /what/ /he/ /said/ /not/ /to/ /do/, but /man/. Whatever smelt like an air freshener was doing /wonders/ on him. "YEAH, I /GUESS/ GIVE MY THANKS TO CRABGOD. WOULD SOMEONE MIND SHUTTING MISS ALTERNIAN IDOL UP FOR ME? WHEREVER THE CRAP SHE IS? WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO START THE KARAOKE MACHINE TILL LATER."
  245. <KnightStrider> "(be creative)"
  246. -*- KnightStrider leeeeeeeans on Vergil btw, just to be a butt.
  247. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "No hush let her this is nice. 8<"
  248. <PounceFurLeon> "I think she's almost done anyway."
  249. -*- cattyCarole So she suddenly stopped-- shocked and maybe even a little bit embarassed- as a red flush crossed her cheeks. "oh, um--"
  250. <PounceFurLeon> "(I hope.)"
  251. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(/Rude/!)"
  252. <Jaspers|Carley|Discord> "(8<)"
  253. <KnightStrider> "(jasps do we clap now?)"
  254. -*- PounceFurLeon did you just whisper a sadface
  255. -*- abstersiveTournure Yeah you're definitely a butt. Nevertheless, Vergil tucked an arm around his shoulders, the plate gripped tight in his other hand, and slap slap. A couple good, solid smacks to Strider's shoulder/neck/almost not quite head qualified as clapping, right?
  256. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord /What/ /if/ /I/ /did/.
  257. -*- cattyCarole "i didn't think anyone was listening but--"
  258. -*- cattyCarole "thank you very much < :3"
  259. <PounceFurLeon> "I'm afraid we couldn't help but ofurhear, dear!" Which is a nice way to say she was really loud.
  260. <KnightStrider> woah rude man careful there youre clapping on valuable property there
  261. -*- abstersiveTournure ...In hindsight, drawing attention like that seemed like a bad idea -- but whatever. She seemed more focused on the greater part of the crowd.
  262. -*- cattyCarole "i practiced very, very hard on tha--"
  263. -*- abstersiveTournure "(I was being creative.)"
  264. <KnightStrider> "(is that why youre whispering?)"
  265. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord Dave's question is answered with a happy little nod and clapping of the tendrils. He wished he was that good, sometimes. He'd sing all the time! And meow. Mostly meow, really. But that's pretty much the same thing! He thinks!
  266. -*- KnightStrider oh good, will slow clap with his hand against Vergil's cheek.
  267. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ... Are you two okay.
  268. -*- cattyCarole The sound of something slapping had finally caught her attention, ears twitching as her eyes glanced to the source.
  269. -*- cattyCarole Oh!
  270. -*- cattyCarole Oh gosh!
  271. -*- KnightStrider yes, is something the matter? I see nothing unusual with the circumstances here.
  272. -*- cattyCarole "vergil!!! :3"
  273. <KnightStrider> woah you know her?
  274. <KnightStrider> man i didnt know you had a chick
  275. -*- abstersiveTournure Not realizing he'd been spotted, Vergil will just slow clap his hand on Dave's glasses --
  276. -*- abstersiveTournure "Wh--"
  277. <KnightStrider> ...
  278. -*- abstersiveTournure Ah, hell.
  279. <KnightStrider> hey
  280. <KnightStrider> hey
  281. <KnightStrider> hey
  282. -*- KnightStrider claps on Vergil's eyes, you do not clap on the glasses and get away with it.
  283. -*- cattyCarole Felicia took no time in scurrying down the stairs, claws clicking against the wood as she practically bounced on every step. She thought he'd never see him again! She tried her hardest to find him, but...
  284. -*- abstersiveTournure "Hello, Felicia," he mumbled, his hand dropping -- "Strider, get your hand off of my eyes and I may answer your question about knowing her."
  285. -*- cattyCarole ...He always seemed to disappeared at the very last moment!
  286. <KnightStrider> i dunno man this is some pretty choice touching right here
  287. -*- KnightStrider drops his hand anyway
  288. <PounceFurLeon> (snrk)
  289. -*- cattyCarole She didn't know why. She thought they were friends. 3:
  290. <KnightStrider> so you know her?
  291. -*- cattyCarole ...B-but now he was here and everything was good again!
  292. <KnightStrider> she like
  293. <cattyCarole> "omigosh i'm so glad i found you! i thought you disappeared or-- or ran away or--"
  294. <cattyCarole> "something like that. 38"
  295. -*- abstersiveTournure "Yes." He didn't attempt to shrug Strider away, instead focusing intently on the neatly-arranged plate of food. Except the gravy from the mashed potatoes. That had kind of started to run over onto the stuffing.
  296. -*- abstersiveTournure "I've been here," he told Felicia quietly. "Just...busy." Hedging and ignoring Strider for the most part probably wouldn't get him many places.
  297. -*- PounceFurLeon doesn't really know how to say grace thanks to her culture um - in jegus name amen? Something like that?
  298. <PurpleKoopa> "CATCERTO'S OVER, TROLL CELIONE DION. OR UH, NOT TROLL. WHATEVER."
  299. -*- KnightStrider good, will stay leaning on you, arm around your shoulders. "your girlfriend or something?"
  300. -*- PurpleKoopa SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP
  301. <PurpleKoopa> "*YO*! LOOK AT ME, PEOPLE. YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME? MAYBE? I SURE THE HELL HOPE YOU ARE, BECAUSE IT'S TIME TO LINK OUR RESPECTIVE APPENDAGES TOGETHER AND GIVE THANKS TO WHATEVER MAGNIFICENT SKY VOICE YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BELIEVE IN."
  302. <KnightStrider> oh shit man gotta give thanks
  303. <KnightStrider> alright
  304. -*- abstersiveTournure Oh thank God for weird oversized crabs.
  305. <PounceFurLeon> "Oh are we doing the holding-paws thing?"
  306. <cattyCarole> "well, you must be very very very busy 'cause--"
  307. -*- KnightStrider puts his hands together, once again giving vergil an awkward hug.
  308. -*- abstersiveTournure Again, no attempt at resistance was made.
  309. -*- Jaspers|Carley|Discord ... Girlfriend? Oh! He didn't really know that they were /together/ or anything like that. That's very good! He likes it when his friends like eachother a whole lot.
  310. -*- PounceFurLeon will bravely take hold of a claw, and also the hand of whoever's beside her on the other side. Or tentacle. :33
  311. <PurpleKoopa> "YES. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE." Crabdad takes Pounce's paw as gently as he can, then leaves his other claw open for grabs.
  312. -*- cattyCarole G-g-girlfriend? The very thought of it made her blush deepen into a red crimson. "o-oh n-no!"
  313. -*- abstersiveTournure Wh--
  314. <cattyCarole> "no no it's not like that at all"
  315. -*- abstersiveTournure Oh.

  330. -*- PounceFurLeon If Jaspersprite isn't already seated between two others, Pounce welcomes him over near her.
  331. -*- cattyCarole Felicia giggled and offered her massive paw of a hand. "heehee, you
  332. <cattyCarole> (oh fuck you enter button)
  333. <cattyCarole> "you're funny! i like that. :3"
  334. <cattyCarole> "my name's felicia! just felicia though, 'cause cats don't have last names."

  336. -*- abstersiveTournure Hah, yeah, he'll just. Continue silently examining his plate actually no that's making him feel ill oh his shoes are pretty nice.
  337. -*- KnightStrider smirks and shakes the paw with the hand that isn't draped over Vergil's shoulder. "nice to meet you just felicia"
  338. <KnightStrider> now vergil
  339. <KnightStrider> i see a claw over there in the dining room that has your name on it go hold it for grace
  340. -*- cattyCarole Hehehe! Dante made that same joke too when they met. She thought it was--

  343. -*- cattyCarole ...Oh. 3:
  344. -*- KnightStrider glances back to Felicia. "you gonna join us?"
  345. -*- cattyCarole Felicia's shake suddenly became much less joyous. "...i guess dante is still too sick to come downstairs isn't he."
  346. -*- PounceFurLeon has a last name. Water you saying Felicia WATER YOU SAYING
  347. <KnightStrider> ...?
  348. <KnightStrider> wait

  358. <cattyCarole> "!"
  359. <cattyCarole> "don't be rude! 3:<"
  360. -*- abstersiveTournure "H-hardly." The word came out more bitterly than he meant it to. Whoops.
  361. -*- Jaspers|Carley has an urge to comment on someone's swearing and he doesN'T EVEN KNOW WHO TO SCOLD
  362. <KnightStrider> ...?
  363. <cattyCarole> "why would vergil lie about his own brother? he would never do that!"
  364. <cattyCarole> "also--"
  365. -*- abstersiveTournure "...It's okay, Felicia."
  366. <KnightStrider> okay so he isnt feeling well i get it but i doubt its because hes sick
  367. <cattyCarole> "..."
  368. <cattyCarole> "b-but he swore. 3:"
  369. -*- KnightStrider considers telling Felicia how he "has to swear to stay alive," but decides against it.
  370. <KnightStrider> man you too?
  371. -*- abstersiveTournure A wry attempt at a smile. "H-he's a l-lot like D-Dante. You ne-never did stop him from c-cursing."

  384. -*- KnightStrider will take Crabdad's free claw and one of Vergill's hands in the other.

And he /definitely/ wouldn't be able to stomach anything after seeing it. But. He had to! It was his friend. And it's not like there'd ever be a /good/ time to see him. No offense.
  468. -*- Jaspers|Carley He just has to--
  469. -*- abstersiveTournure He blinked at Dave, stunned silent. "I d-don't." Dante wouldn't know what to do with that -- wouldn't be able to eat, and Dave discovering the whole of the situation in such a way wouldn't be good, and. "N-n-- I don't th-think that's a g-good idea," he stammered out. And then Jaspers --
  470. -*- abstersiveTournure "J-Jaspers, you d-don't ha-have to. I..."
  471. <KnightStrider> hey look ill just drop it in front of the door and knock
  472. -*- abstersiveTournure He didn't know what Dante would do or how he'd react.
  473. <KnightStrider> he can pick it up when hes ready
  474. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad gratefully accepts a generous amount of the pickerel, then starts cutting the behemoth into sloppy portions. It's kind of an amazement he remembered to do that.
  475. -*- cattyCarole It made her more than a little unnerved, leaving her to finger her massive necklace. Very carefully finger it, mind you. She knew better than to deface such a holy item.
  476. -*- cattyCarole ...But that was okay, she guessed. She said grace in her head, and that's where it really mattered.
  477. <Jaspers|Carley> "Well you do not have to either. :<"
  478. -*- cattyCarole Besides, there was food! More food than she could ever remember seeing in a long, long time! She wasn't sure what that big ol' thing at the center was, but it smelled plenty good!
  479. -*- cattyCarole "<KnightStrider> he can pick it up when hes ready"
  480. -*- cattyCarole hAH
  481. <Jaspers|Carley> "Look. It's his brother-- and no offense, Dave? But."
  482. <Jaspers|Carley> "I don't think you have a very up to bar bedside manner, is all."
  483. -*- KnightStrider shhh dave is an ignorant fool.
  484. -*- Jaspers|Carley *pAR
  485. <KnightStrider> true i never was able to win at operation
  486. -*- abstersiveTournure "...N-no, th-that wouldn't...w-work." He stared at the plate of rapidly-cooling food in front of him, carefully prepared. "(H-he expe-pects me to be back s-soon...)" He trailed off, looking increasingly unsettled.
  487. <KnightStrider> ...?
  488. -*- abstersiveTournure And now some lady he'd only met briefly sort of /maybe/ was getting involved and.
  489. <KnightStrider> ... you know what
  490. <KnightStrider> subject dropped
  491. <KnightStrider> moving on
  492. <KnightStrider> eat up
  493. <Jaspers|Carley> "/Thank/ you."
  494. -*- Jaspers|Carley >:l
  495. -*- abstersiveTournure Thank you, God.
  496. -*- Jaspers|Carley It's
  497. -*- Jaspers|Carley A christmas miracle
  498. -*- cattyCarole ...Oh, everyone was talking about something. And not sounding too happy about it either. Felicia paused her mad grab for the behometh and frowned, pulling her arm back. "...is something wrong? 3:"
  499. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad sloppily downs a hunk of beast meat and his part of the pickerel. "OH MAN. POUNCE, CAN YOU COOK /ALL/ MY MEALS FOR ME? NORMALLY I THINK MY BEAST IS LIKE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE EVENING, BUT /DAMN/. I THINK YOU JUST ABOUT TOOK THE CAKE. AND THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY CAKE HERE, WHICH IS AMAZING."
  500. -*- KnightStrider will begin getting some food for himself, a small plate. He had learned early on when he started eating again that big meals weren't such a good idea. "huh? ah nah were just fighting over who gets the first dance with vergil personally i think jaspers should get it for those spiffy invites"
  501. <PounceFurLeon> "Cake!!" Forehead slap. "I should have made cake."
  502. -*- abstersiveTournure He pushed the plate back, leaned back in his seat, and stared at the edge of the table. Yeah, eating wasn't going to be happening for him.
  503. <Jaspers|Carley> "Oh no no no pounce it is okay. We can have something else for desert! And--"
  504. -*- abstersiveTournure And everyone else was just chowing down around him. He wondered if he could make it to the bathroom from here, in a worst case scenario that seemed increasingly more likely.
  505. <Jaspers|Carley> "Do you really think they were spiffy though i worked really hard on them. <:3"
  506. <PounceFurLeon> "But thank you Sebastian that's so nice of you to say!" Pounce will. Politely try a small piece of this beast Crabdad prepared. "Let's see how yours turned out, shall we?"
  507. <KnightStrider> yeah man they were great.
  508. -*- KnightStrider puts a small lump of potatoes on Vergil's plate. ... ... "you have any good memories about mashed potatoes man?"
  509. -*- abstersiveTournure He was pretty sure there was both turkey and ham and other unidentifiable meats there. Had made a special point of not getting any of them, and now everyone was just --
  510. <KnightStrider> ... i remember before i started cooking all i would get was either instant or from kfc
  511. <KnightStrider> bro and i would have sculpting competitions with them
  512. <PurpleKoopa> "OH, NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, THERE'S LIKE THIS WEEKS-OLD FRUITCAKE LURKING IN THE BACK OF THE MINI-FRIDGE. BUT THE LESS WE TALK ABOUT THAT, THE BETTER."
  513. -*- Jaspers|Carley Prideful smile. His confidence bolsters /immediately/.
  514. <KnightStrider> the winner got to eat both sculptures
  515. -*- abstersiveTournure Zeezee you're so perf tho
  516. <KnightStrider> the loser got nothing but gravy
  517. <KnightStrider> which isnt so bad
  518. <KnightStrider> because fuck yeah gravy
  519. <PurpleKoopa> "OH! YOU KNOW, I NEVER ACTUALLY SAW ANY OF THOSE INVITES. LEMME SEE WHAT YOU GOT, PURRCASSO."
  520. <KnightStrider> cmon make something
  521. -*- KnightStrider offers Vergil a spoon, tool of the trade.
  522. -*- cattyCarole Oh, heehee! Dave was such a joker! Felicia was starting to like him a lot. Personally, though, she thought that Jaspers deserved all the dances. That invitation was really, really good! She made sure to keep in her hidey hole, where the squirrels couldn't get it.
  523. -*- cattyCarole Those darn squirrel couldn't keep their paws off of anything these days. /:
  524. -*- abstersiveTournure "...Of course you'd say that," Vergil muttered, as though he didn't look deathly pale and ill. "I'm sure you were very familiar with the taste of gravy." He hesitated, stared at the spoon for a moment, then reluctantly took it.
  525. <KnightStrider> hey hey gravy rocks
  526. -*- Jaspers|Carley giggles. /Purrcasso/. He should have thought of that one. He quickly slips an extra one from his suit pocket and unfolds it carefully, before politely handing it over to Crabdad! "I think i could have used glitter. But i was fresh out! :<"
  527. <KnightStrider> since bro kept his knives in the fridge we barely got any cus we couldnt keep it
  528. <KnightStrider> so any time we DID get gravy we had to eat it all in one go
  529. <KnightStrider> man you couldnt keep any food in that place
  530. <KnightStrider> everything was just storage for smuppets and shitty swords
  531. -*- KnightStrider starts making his own potato sculpture
  532. -*- abstersiveTournure "Interesting way to grow up." He settled his hands in his lap, making no move to sculpt the potatoes -- either because he couldn't think of anything or because he had no desire to. He wasn't sure which.
  533. <KnightStrider> eh i guess in comparison to some
  534. -*- cattyCarole ...O-oh. Vergil didn't look too good. Or, well, worse than he usually did. She never understood why he always seemed so sad.
  535. -*- KnightStrider nudges Vergil with his elbow. "cmon man at least make a valcano i mean if i got nothing to go up against its barely a competition"
  536. -*- cattyCarole It was like there was always this big rainy cloud following him. Always, always, always.
  537. -*- cattyCarole 38.
  538. -*- abstersiveTournure He practically is the big rain cloud, Felicia.
  539. -*- PounceFurLeon makes a little Sphinx with her potatoes to rival Dave. >:33
  540. -*- KnightStrider shit time to pull out the big guns.
  541. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad takes the tiny card in his massive claws and holds it up to his eyes, squinting. "OH MAN... THOSE STICK-LIKE ARMS... THAT JAGGED SMILE... THOSE... THOSE /PAC/-CLAWS... YOU KNOW WHAT, MAN? I THINK YOU REALLY CAPTURED MY ESSENCE HERE. NICE JOB! I HAVEN'T BEEN IMMORTALIZED THIS NICELY SINCE MY KID TOOK A WHACK AT ART."
  542. -*- cattyCarole But Dave seemed to have it handled for now. No need to bombard him or anything. He wasn't able to deal with that very well at all, she learned. People weren't really his thing. Which was weird, because she always thought people weren't really her thing!
  543. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil rolled his eyes at the Texan, lifted one shaky hand to depress the back of the spoon into the mushy mound, and then dropped it onto the plate with a clatter, quickly pulling back as though it might bite him. "Th-there's your vo-volcano."
  544. <PurpleKoopa> "BUT I THINK IT COULD USE SOMETHING A LITTLE... /MORE/. YOU GOT AN EXTRA CRAYON ON YA?"
  545. <KnightStrider> sweet
  546. <KnightStrider> man if i didnt know any better id say you were a natural
  547. -*- abstersiveTournure For some reason I thought Crabdad was talking about his food needing something more]
  548. -*- cattyCarole needs more crayons]
  549. -*- abstersiveTournure Crabdad grates crayon into his mashed potatoes]
  550. -*- abstersiveTournure MMMM, WAX]
  551. -*- cattyCarole throw some glitter onto it]
  552. <KnightStrider> (DELISH!)
  553. <Jaspers|Carley> [[He glues some pipe cleaners onto the beast]]
  554. -*- KnightStrider scoops up some butter and dumps it into Vergil's potato indent. "there itll be the lava once it melts"
  555. -*- PurpleKoopa IT'S NOT A DESSERT UNTIL IT HAS SPRINKLES.
  556. -*- Jaspers|Carley ... Huh! People are playing with their food. He didn't know that was a thing that was okay, at the dinner table. He always heard Rose getting scolded for it-- never him, though. He was just a normal cat back then! And cats weren't allowed at the dinner table. His prideful grin only strengthens at Crabdad's praise, those feline eyes sparkling like every st
  557. <Jaspers|Carley> ar in the sky. "Do you mean it? Really really? Oh gosh i tried so hard and i am glad that you like it! Very very glad yes. I have some crayons yes! ... Oh."
  558. <Jaspers|Carley> "Except pink though. I use pink so much and it runs out faster than i know it!"
  559. -*- Jaspers|Carley He fishes out the whole pack of crayons and hands it right over. /Beaming/. This is just the best Twelfth Perigees Eve ever! And it's not even over yet! 83
  560. -*- abstersiveTournure "How ar-artistic. Next you'll snap a pho-photograph to hang on the refrigerator."
  561. <KnightStrider> man i wish
  562. <KnightStrider> i dont have my camera though
  563. <KnightStrider> id have so many cool filters to use on that thing
  564. -*- cattyCarole Which...still might've been true, actually. Now that everything was said and done, she didn't know what else to say! Dinner was meant for talking, the sisters always said, it was meant for reflection.
  565. <KnightStrider> id give you a real piece of art
  566. -*- KnightStrider yawns and flops over to rest his head on Vergil's shoulder. "man i barely ate and im feeling tired"
  567. -*- abstersiveTournure ...He wondered, faintly, if his father's camera would still be at the back of the closet, carefully placed where it always was.
  568. -*- abstersiveTournure Oh --
  569. -*- cattyCarole So she always stopped and thought about how much she wanted to go to the town someday, and how she hoped she could turn everyone around and make them realize how silly they were being. She was no different from anyone else, really. She had two legs, two arms, and a head just like everyone else.
  570. -*- cattyCarole But...that wasn't much of an issue anymore, and apparently no one else ever did any reflection at the dinner table. That was only a religious thing, she guessed.
  571. -*- abstersiveTournure "She had two legs, two arms, and a head just like everyone else." <-- hAHAHA]
  572. -*- Jaspers|Carley HAHAH GET IT]]

  581. -*- abstersiveTournure "I'm not a bed," he pointed out after a moment. "I believe yours is elsewhere."
  582. <PurpleKoopa> "SWEET. THANKS." Crabdad dumps out the crayons on an empty part of the table, then sets down the drawing and starts scribbling with /precision/, handling the fragile crayons with precision and care. "OH YEAH. THIS IS GONNA LOOK SO AWESOME WHEN IT'S DONE. EVERYBODY JUST KEEP ON, UH. STANDING THERE AND MAKING SHIT OUTTA MASHED POTATOES. I'VE GOT ART TO CRAFT."

  619. -*- abstersiveTournure "Really," Vergil answered in a tone that implied he did not buy that statement.
  620. -*- Jaspers|Carley His eyes dart up immediately from the crayon pile! Very /very/ important? He wonders immediately what it may be! He listens intently, ears pointing ceiling-wards. "... Really? You mean it? Really really? I mean i know you mean it because you wouldnt say it if you didnt but oh gosh that would be the nicest thing ever! I mean--"
  621. <KnightStrider> are you implying that i want to do the nasty with cheese sticks?
  622. <Jaspers|Carley> "I mean if you do not mind of course i suspect that you are a very busy kitty. :3"
  623. <KnightStrider> because that is so not right
  624. <KnightStrider> if i were to do the nasty with any dairy product it would SO not be cheese sticks

  639. <cattyCarole> "but yes, i have a super great forest now! i used to have in the kitchen but--"
  640. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad has been busily scrawling things down on the invite. He blows the crayon dust off his page and gives it a good swat or two. "ALRIGHT, CHECK IT OUT.

  663. -*- Jaspers|Carley Is this the part where Felicia learns that this is a dream bubble and not actually heaven because I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be the best twelfth perigees eve afterwards
  664. <KnightStrider> because you two seem to get fucked over
  665. <KnightStrider> a lot
  666. <KnightStrider> so you could use a night to not give a crap i think
  667. -*- abstersiveTournure Dave you are literally the best friend]

  669. <KnightStrider> i did that with john all the time when i was still with him you know?

  671. <KnightStrider> but the ironic value of his pure devotion to the man was enough to keep me going through the entire movie
  672. <Jaspers|Carley> "I would not be too worried about it. I did the same thing once too! Except instead of the forest i redecorated and painted the living room and made everything look real pretty."
  673. <Jaspers|Carley> "There are not a whole bunch of rules in dream bubbles though just a few and they are not too bad."

  677. -*- abstersiveTournure A low sigh. He didn't know what to say.

  680. <cattyCarole> "...wait."
  681. <cattyCarole> "what's a dream bubble? ?:"
  682. <cattyCarole> "is that what you call different parts of heaven because i don't think i've ever read that in the bible before--"

  758. -*- abstersiveTournure Half the time, he and Dante could barely be in the same room without it morphing into bickering and then, more often than it should've, into outright fighting. So any TV-watching was usually cut off.

  762. -*- cattyCarole She wished they didn't fight so much, back then. Not even because she couldn't watch TV, either. She could do without it. It was strange and loud and worshipped some really bad things. She just wished they would get along again, like brother should!

  766. <cattyCarole> "sister rose always said that those contests were for people who wanted to be famous but didn't want to work very hard for it, but--"
  767. <cattyCarole> "i've worked really hard!"

  822. -*- cattyCarole She could take criticism just fine, sure! Those who couldn't take criticism were prideful, after all. And anyone who thought they were something, when they were nothing, was one who decieved only themselves.

  831. -*- abstersiveTournure ...Yeah, he was a little on edge. Enough so not to respond when Dave said it, because he couldn't deny it, and then another person -- some stranger -- had entered the room. He barely glanced over his shoulder before returing to his task.
  832. <Jaspers|Carley> [[Oops I was]]
  833. <Jaspers|Carley> [[Getting distracted by Day Of The Dead]]

  839. -*- KnightStrider turning his head Dave looked to the stranger. "hey theres food in the dining room why dont you go get some?"
  840. <cattyCarole> "(...i'm not a crybaby. 3:)" she softly repeated to herself, staring low into her lap. A memory long gone by, when she had met her first lick of true criticism. She remembered tearing up harder than she had in a long, long time-- not since Sister Rose told her why she couldn't go outside of the abbey-- and wanting to run away.
  841. -*- cattyCarole But.
  842. -*- cattyCarole That was a lifetime and a half ago.
  843. <Jaspers|Carley> "... Oh." He raises his head from under the table with a dissapointed little frown. Cloudy skies and Solluxless situations await him from now on, he's afraid. "Well. It is okay i guess! You did not mean to break it or anything. And i will get a new one! I will get a whole bunch of new crayons. :3"

  851. -*- abstersiveTournure He wanted to explain it. But the stranger was there and he couldn't think were to begin -- barely could think of what had happened at all.
  852. -*- Jaspers|Carley ... Oh. Felicia didn't look so happy at all. It was a very southward contrast to the cheer she upheld only a few minutes ago! He brushes what will forever be known as the /crabby/ /crayola/ /incident/ to the side, for now. "... Hey crabdad! Did you ever get the. "Care e okay" machine? Like you said? I still think it will be fun to use! :3"
  853. <KnightStrider> sweet almost done

  855. -*- Jaspers|Carley Singing /always/ made people feel better! That was, like. A universal constant.
  856. -*- abstersiveTournure "...Y-yeah," he agreed, staring at the plate of cold food he'd gotten earlier for a moment before putting it in the microwave, then cleared his throat. "H-he'll probably enjoy this. Fresh food." ...relatively fresh. "Though i-it's ha-hardly pizza."
  857. -*- abstersiveTournure Nothing compared to pizza. Nothing.
  858. -*- cattyCarole ...! Care e okay? Did he mean karaoke? Oh, she loved karaoke! They didn't get to use it often in the abbey, but she always got so excited when it was rolled in!
  859. -*- KnightStrider smirking Dave looked to Vergil. "i can fix that you know"
  860. <PurpleKoopa> "NOW THAT'S A GREAT IDEA IF I'VE EVER HEARD OF ONE. GIMME A SEC HERE, LEMME GO FISH THAT BABY OUT." He scuttled out of the dining room, passed by the kitchen, ("SUP NEW GUY.

  870. <KnightStrider> ill make something for him next time
  871. -*- cattyCarole Felicia's paw twitched at the question, eager to raise her hand, but...no, she couldn't do that. That was hardly sporting. It was much, much better to let everyone else go first! :3

  873. -*- abstersiveTournure "...Th-thanks." Pause. He had no reason to linger in the room, really -- Dante was waiting, had been waiting for far too long and was probably bored of The Wizard of Oz or whatever had been left on when Vergil left -- except...

  879. -*- abstersiveTournure "...I d-don't know wh-where to sta-start," he admitted, almost helplessly, and without much context. (It wasn't like Dave wouldn't realize.) "Th-they...they tried t-to drown him in holy water and...h-his arms..."
  880. -*- abstersiveTournure He probably would've dropped the plate if he didn't set it down, clattering, on the counter.

  883. -*- cattyCarole You go, girl.
  884. -*- KnightStrider nodding to show Vergil he was listening Dave continued to finish up the dishes. Once he was done he took the plate from Vergil's grasp and set it aside, guiding the trembling friend over to a chair so he could sit.
  885. -*- abstersiveTournure Dave you're really good at handling emotional breakdowns like wow]
  886. -*- Jaspers|Carley Deep breaths, Jaspers. You can do this! He knows he can, and so does everyone else. He politely excuses himself from the table and coils a tendril about the microphone, eyes wide and belly aflutter with butterflies.
  887. -*- Jaspers|Carley ... He sure does wish Vergil and Dave were here, too, though. But they must be having a fun time on their own! They probably long since finished the dishes and are playing a game or something. Or talking about fun stuff!
  888. -*- Jaspers|Carley Yeah!
  889. -*- abstersiveTournure Sit he did, heavily, gripping the sleeve of Dave's sweater tightly without really thinking about it. He made an effort to breathe before going on in a half-jumbled explanation. "Th-they were...didn't waste, they sa-said, when th-the dead started w-walking --" God, he was going to vomit again.

He was all but whispering, for no apparent reason given that they were now alone.
  898. -*- abstersiveTournure "...I di-didn't kn-know about hi-his arms u-until a-afterward," he admitted, slowly. Self-disgusted. He hadn't known, but he should've.
  899. -*- abstersiveTournure ...Yeah. Dave was probably disgusted with him, too. He knew Vergil was intelligent enough to have realized, surely. Knew that there was no way he didn't see all the details, the signals that something was not right. He should've at least insisted on going with them when they tried to take him to the house. But no.
  900. -*- abstersiveTournure He'd done everything wrong, and it had cost Dante dearly.

  935. -*- cattyCarole That was rude. 3:
  936. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil let himself be ushered to his feet, but remained firmly planted, tugging Dave's sleeve (still in his grip) to get his attention. "...I tr--" He cut off, ground his teeth, took a breath, then continued quietly, venomously, and shockingly steadily. "...I tr-tried to make sure they weren't."
  937. <KnightStrider> i would too man
  938. <KnightStrider> im just gonna check because if they arent double dead by now then im gonna make sure theyre wiped from existence permanently
  939. -*- cattyCarole So she resigned herself to simply humming along with the tune, kicking her feet to the beat.
  940. -*- abstersiveTournure "N-no -- I..." He paused, uncertain for a brief moment. The words sounded strange in his head, a half-formed concept -- they seemed as appealing as they did horrifying. "...I d-don't think th-they'll recover, ph-physically, from what we d-did." He paused again. It would kill Dante, to know that he'd been the cause of such a thing -- it would be kinder to wipe them from existence.
  941. <PurpleKoopa> "MAN, WHY ISN'T IT EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A CRAB? THOSE LYRICS WOULD BE WAY MORE ACCURATE."
  942. <KnightStrider> ... what did you do?
  943. -*- abstersiveTournure But Dante didn't remember. Didn't let himself remember, and probably never would. Didn't even know what they'd done, in full. It was Vergil who would be the judge, jury, and executioner here.
  944. <Jaspers|Carley> "A square with that horn~ makes you wish you were not born~ everytime he plays~ and with a square in the act~ he is gonna set this music back to the stone age days.

YOU DID THE CARTOON MAKERS JUSTICE, JASPS. I BET THEY'RE ROLLING IN THEIR GRA-- I MEAN, UM. ROLLING IN THE AISLES THIS VERY SECOND! YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF HOW AWESOME YOU JUST SANG THERE?"
  961. -*- abstersiveTournure A subdued nod was the only response, for a moment, as he forced himself to release the red sleeve in his grasp. He looked up after a moment. "...Wh-what are you going to d-do?"
  962. <KnightStrider> something to help myself relax

  968. -*- abstersiveTournure ...That was. Vague.
  969. <cattyCarole> "wow! great job jaspers! i like what you did with the chorus! it was very very very creative! :3"
  970. -*- abstersiveTournure But his trust in Dave was much greater than he would ever have expected -- he wasn't bothered by it. He was more bothered by the way he couldn't stop shaking as he picked up the plate of lukewarm food and the accompanying silverware and slipped quietly out of the kitchen. He only paused when he reached the stairs. Sounded like the tail end of a karaoke song. Dante would love that. Alas, dinner would have to do.
  971. -*- Jaspers|Carley "Yes yes thank you thank you lots! I tried and even used my bestest meows and-- and uhm. Y-yes.

"I believe that it is your turn now though. And i think you will do an even better jo

  973. -*- abstersiveTournure Dinner without meat, even. The trek upstairs was familiar, a buffer to calm down, though it did little for the churning in his stomach -- nothing at all, in fact, he discovered when he had to lean on the door and take a breather.
  974. -*- cattyCarole "o-oh, i--" she stutters, lifting up her hands with an uneasy little smile. As much as she wanted to go, it was always better to let everyone else go first. That was simply the polite thing to do, after all! "that's okay! i can wait!"
  975. <cattyCarole> "besides i think mister crab has been waiting a long, long, long time for this!"
  976. <cattyCarole> "it'd be better if he went first :3"
  977. -*- abstersiveTournure This was never fun. It killed him -- going in shaky and trying to keep his cool. Never so much as a "what's with /you/?" because that would mean acknowledging that something was, indeed, wrong with him -- something was wrong at all.
  978. -*- abstersiveTournure ...but he'd survive it, as usual.
  979. <Jaspers|Carley> "Oh! Yes of course i am sorry." He guesses he was just... excited to hear her sing, again. It's always so pretty! But it was mean of him. Crabdad threw together this whole party all by himself-- with the teeniest bit of help from himself-- and he didn't even bother to ask if he'd like to use the karaoke machine.
  980. -*- Jaspers|Carley Worst Jaspers. 38
  981. <Jaspers|Carley> "I still wanna hear you up there though later. <:3" He offers, giving a curt nod before offering the microphone up to the crustacean custodian. "Here you go! I bet you will do an absolutely wonderful job crabdad. I am sure of it! I just know it even though i am just a cat. :3"

  983. -*- KnightStrider because that is what relaxes him.
  984. -*- abstersiveTournure The doorknob turned easily and he pushed it open, shutting it behind him without too much showiness to the motion. He looked almost dead until halfway to the bed, at which point he presented the plate of food as one might a king's main course on a golden platter. "Christmas dinner," he informed, wryly, smoothly.
  985. -*- abstersiveTournure As if he wasn't still pale as a sheet, and as if the smirk wasn't forced.

  997. -*- cattyCarole|cG "...y'came back."
  998. -*- cattyCarole|cG It was said slowly, haltingly, as if every word threatened to break with something more...but they never did. They only slurred with the slightest of uncertainty. Why would they break, after all? There was no need to.
  999. -*- cattyCarole|cG Everything was fine. Just fine. Vergil might've been away longer than he was supposed to, leaving him to lay and wonder just when he was coming back-- if he was coming back at all-- but--

  1001. -*- cattyCarole|cG He was back now.
  1002. -*- cattyCarole|cG He'd always be back.
  1003. -*- cattyCarole|cG Always.
  1004. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil just barely refrained from flinching -- something he'd grown increasingly skilled at, he found -- and reached out to, without too much of a fuss, gently help the torso upright. "Of course," he answered, doing his best to mute the guilt that swelled in his tone. Refrained from saying that of course he came back -- nothing would keep him away for too long.

"Still hungry, I hope," he added, quietly. Best not to linger on it, as much as an apology hovered on the tip of his tongue, tasted bitter at the back of his mouth.

  1040. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad stands speechless. The microphone slips out of his grip and he doesn't even bat an eye. He's not even sure if he /can/ bat an eye right now. There looks to be some, uh, twitching, though. "THANK YOU, I *COUGH* thanks. i tHINK I REALLY *COUGH* i really nailed that one."

  1043. -*- cattyCarole|cG But then, hesitantly, very hesitantly, a smirk started to flicker on his face. "i knew y'd come back," he chuckled, shuffling closer to his brother. He didn't mind the fact that he couldn't really sit up on his own, not anymore. That just couldn't be helped. Besides, it wouldn't last. He'd have those arms back in no time. They were just--
  1044. <Jaspers|Carley> "CRABDAD I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TONG YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT I SAID YOU DID A GOOD JOB."

  1046. -*- cattyCarole|cG "y'always come back. still can't get 'nuff of me, can ya?" There came that chuckle again, still just a few seconds off. It always felt like that, nowadays. Like his jabs and were being thrown too slow, too ploddingly, and never quite made their mark. It.
  1047. -*- cattyCarole|cG It was probably nothing. Yeah.
  1048. -*- cattyCarole|cG Besides, who could give a damn about any of that bolshevik when there was food around? Goddamn, was he starving. Felt like he was always starving, lately. Drove him crazy sometimes. Made the wait all the more awful.

  1056. -*- Jaspers|Carley pokes at his ears a few times, his smile slowly degrading into a little grimace. That-- that /really/ hurt! Of course he'd never say that, because... well, that'd be rude! But still! "OKAY! YOU SHOULD-- You-- you should do that! I think! If you are really hurting! I-- I mean! Because that is a thing that-- that is not okay!"
  1057. -*- abstersiveTournure He was tempted, very tempted, to say that he wouldn't quite say that, and that Dante couldn't get enough of himself sufficiently for the both of them -- but he'd been doing this for weeks. More than long enough to know that now wasn't the time to leave any room for insecurities, when he'd just gotten back so much later than he should have, when Dante was still so very vulnerable.
  1058. -*- abstersiveTournure There was a chuckle (not quite genuine, not quite hollow) in response to the question, however, vibrating through the arm and shoulder wrapped behind his back while the other arm set the plate on the nightstand then reached to pull the pillow up against the headboard and grab two others from the other side of the bed.
  1059. -*- abstersiveTournure "You really wouldn't know fine dining if it bit you in the face," he mused quietly, removing his arm briefly to kick off his shoes uncharacteristically sloppily and then, plate of food in one hand, climb (crawl?) over his brother's legs to sit on his other side. He.
  1060. -*- abstersiveTournure He tried to do it gracefully, at least. There really was no ceremony when crawling around one-handedly on a bed.

"ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵒᶰ, ᶠᶦᵍᵃʳᵒ⋅ ᶦ'ᵐ ᵍᵒᶰᶰᵃ⋅ ᵍᵒᶰᶰᵃ ᵍᵒ ᵈᵒ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᶰᵒʷ⋅" The winded crustacean limps away from the karaoke machine and slowly makes his way back to the kitchen, where he shoves his face into the fridge's water dispenser and drinks what he can.
  1062. <PurpleKoopa> Eventually, he pokes his head back into the other room to call out, "HEY, SONGSTRESS. YOU're on ᶰᵒʷ⋅"
  1063. -*- cattyCarole|cG ...Fine dining? Ugh, really? That garbage usually wasn't big enough for a gnat. Why'd they always have to make their portions so goddamn tiny, anyway? Was there some kind of contest he wasn't aware of? The race to see how small you could make a meal before people called bullshit?

  1067. -*- cattyCarole|cG The answer, of course, came as quickly-- perhaps even quicker-- than the question: it came from the kitchen, obviously. The kitchen that was just downstairs from the bedroom. Where else would it come from? Where else could it come from?

  1070. -*- cattyCarole|cG So he didn't complain, even if he should've complained. His brother took the time to come down and grab something for him, and...
  1071. -*- cattyCarole|cG ...And he came back. That's what was important.
  1072. -*- abstersiveTournure Even though he'd called it "fine dining", a couple of the dishes really had looked like they might jump off the platters and attempt to bite him in the face -- alien cuisine, he supposed. Nevertheless, he'd taken portions of the ones that weren't straight meat, and they looked essentially like human food. Odd human food. There was also stuffing and mashed potatoes, because what kind of Christmas do you think this is.
  1073. -*- cattyCarole|cG Even still, that wouldn't stop him from snickering at his brother's failed attempts to look elegant. Him and his dignity, Dante sweared. "i don't think y'got any right t'talk 'bout what's fine or not after pullin' a move like that."

  1075. -*- cattyCarole|cG To be honest, there was nothing elegant about what was about to happen. It was something he'd rather forget...and he usually did, checking out right when the shame usually began.

If he'd acknowledge that Dave, Carley, Jaspers, anyone he knew here existed. But maybe it was better not to test. Dante was okay, mostly, sometimes. He smiled and cracked jokes, not as sharply as he should but still.
  1122. -*- abstersiveTournure What was outside these walls didn't matter. The fact that Vergil's hands trembled holding the utensils didn't matter. It was better in here, isolated from what had hurt them so deeply.
  1123. -*- abstersiveTournure At least, Dante was.
  1124. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil was okay.
  1125. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad raids the fridge to find something cool and creamy for his rockaholic vocal chords. What he didn't expect to find was... discount eggnog. Eh, he guesses that'll do. After chugging an entire carton down and surmising its taste to be something between sweat socks and pulpy humpbeast spittle, he hobbles back to receive his compliments.
  1126. -*- abstersiveTournure He really was. If Dante could smile and crack jokes and lean on him while complaining about whatever was on TV, he'd be okay.
  1127. <PurpleKoopa> "ᶦ'ᵐ ˢᵒʳʳʸ, ᵂᴴᴬᵀ﹖i mean, WHAT? you're gonna have to cut me some slack here, kid. ᶦ ᵗʰᶦᶰᵏ ᶦ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵇᵘˢᵗᵉᵈ ᵐʸ ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵗʰᶦᶰᵍ⋅"
  1128. <Jaspers|Carley> "She said-- SHE SAID YOU DID A GREAT JOB AND HAD LOTS OF ENERGY!"
  1129. <Jaspers|Carley> "... I THINK."
  1130. -*- cattyCarole|cG The answer came too late; Dante was already gone. The mental switch had been flipped off as smoothly as easily as a gulliotine, leaving his mind adrift. The chains that were tenously shackling him to this reality, the right here and right now, had shattered into dust. Wherever he was now was anyone's guess, really, but it definitely wasn't here.

  1133. -*- cattyCarole|cG And when those chains had finally managed to reform themselves and weakly pull him back to terra firma, it would be like nothing had happened at all. And if anything had happened, god forbid, it was none of his business. Nothing worth talking about, at least.

  1174. <Jaspers|Carley> "CAN-- Can we stop yelling now i think i am getting better--"
  1175. -*- abstersiveTournure The chance of a response was more an idle, distant hope than anything. He was unsurprised at the pure and simple lack of response. Only mashed potatoes and whatever else without a word of complaint. Without any words at all.
  1176. <cattyCarole|cG> "i think i'm getting better too!"
  1177. <cattyCarole|cG> "though my poor kitty ears still hurt really, really, really bad. 3;"
  1178. <PurpleKoopa> "yeah, tomcat's got a point. the only one yelling here sHOULD BE ME. ...HEY, WHADDYA KNOW? I THINK MY VOICE FINALLY STOPPED CRACKING. TOO BAD I CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR ALL THOSE PANES OF GLASS I BROKE DURING MY RIGHTEOUS ROCK OPERA."
  1179. <Jaspers|Carley> "Oh okay good. ... That you are getting better i mean! I am sorry your ears still hurt. :<"
  1180. -*- abstersiveTournure Vergil tried to think of something more to say. Just to make sure. To make sure Dante was comfortable and didn't have to think about...all of this, if he didn't want to. But he could only scrape together the remainder of the mashed potatoes, tuck closer to the re-formed shoulder beside him, and pretend that he wasn't going to vomit.
  1181. <cattyCarole|cG> "awww, it's okay. :3"
  1182. <PurpleKoopa> "ANYWAY FITZGERALD OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME WAS, JUST FOR THE RECORD, MY BODY IS PRACTICALLY A TEMPLE. I GO THROUGH TUBES OF SHELL WAX TO KEEP MYSELF LOOKING DOWNRIGHT SHIMMERY. DIRTY IS NOT A TERM YOU CAN USE TO DESCRIBE ME, UNLESS IT IS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF EATING OR FIGHTING, WHICH ARE ALSO MY TWO MOST FAVORITE HOBBIES."
  1183. <cattyCarole|cG> "i'm sure they'll get better!"
  1184. <cattyCarole|cG> "(...eventually. 3:)"
  1185. <cattyCarole|cG> "also that's--"
  1186. -*- abstersiveTournure It was almost as bad as having the food shoved down his throat himself. The spoon clattered on the plate and he set it aside for a long, silent moment, closing his eyes and repressing his own emotions. Resisting the urge to wrap an arm tightly around Dante. It wouldn't help. Dante couldn't comfort him. Wouldn't.
  1187. <cattyCarole|cG> "th-that's not really what i mean when i said dirty. it's not that kind of dirty. it's the kind of dirty that no one else can see!"
  1188. <cattyCarole|cG> "it sticks to your soul and heart and mind and--"
  1189. <cattyCarole|cG> "it's just kinda icky altogether. 3:"
  1190. -*- abstersiveTournure And then he picked up the plate and started on one of the exotic dishes.
  1191. -*- abstersiveTournure It was always like this. Couldn't simply be a quick, painful, humiliating process -- it was drawn out, every single damn time, so that he was forced to look the horror of it in the eye.
  1192. <PurpleKoopa> Crabdad hesitantly pokes at his chest. "WHAT, YOU'RE SAYING LIKE... SWEARING WILL GUNK UP MY INSIDES? THAT'S ABSOLUTE BULLROAR, MAN. SINCE WHEN HAVE I EVER TAKEN THE BIG GREEN GUY'S NAME IN VAIN OR PLEDGED MY SOUL TO THE ELDRITCH CALAMARI CLUB?"
  1193. <PurpleKoopa> "YOU HEARD ME WHEN I GAVE THAT KICK-AWESOME GRACE. I AM FULLY DEVOTED TO KARKINOS, THE GREAT CRAB GOD OF THE NORTH."
  1194. <Jaspers|Carley> "Actually i dont think that she is talking about the same big green guy! ... I think. It is a different big green guy right? 3:" Frankly, he's not sure what to say-- aside from agreeing wholeheartedly, of course. Not that he's ever read the bible, being a cat and all, but... it sounds far from inaccurate! He thinks!
  1195. <cattyCarole|cG> "...big green guy? um, i--"
  1196. <cattyCarole|cG> "i don't want to sound ignorant or anything--"
  1197. <cattyCarole|cG> "because i think everyone's faith is great, really! :3"
  1198. <cattyCarole|cG> "but i--"
  1199. <cattyCarole|cG> "...i don't know who that is. 3:"
  1200. <cattyCarole|cG> "o-or who karkinos is for that matter!"
  1201. <cattyCarole|cG> "i'm."
  1202. <cattyCarole|cG> "i'm sorry. 38'"
  1203. -*- cattyCarole|cG She was going to let that 'Eldritch Calamari Club' line slide because, to be honest, she didn't know what most of those words meant! 3:
  1204. <PurpleKoopa> "HEY, IT'S COOL. I DIDN'T KNOW WHO JOLLY GREEN GIANT WAS EITHER UNTIL I STARTED MOOCHING OFF HIS FANCYPANTS MANSION HERE. ANYWAY, I'M A LITTLE SHAKY ON MY NON-CRAB MYTHOLOGY, BUT I DON'T THINK HE'S CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BENEVOLENT GUYS. NO ONE WORSHIPS HIM EXCEPT FOR BRAINDEAD FAYGO FANATICS, SO YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH CROSS HIM OUTTA THE PICTURE."
  1205. <cattyCarole|cG> "o-oh, so he's like the devil?"
  1206. <cattyCarole|cG> "because he sounds a lot like the devil. 3:"
  1207. <PurpleKoopa> "YEAH, HE MIGHT BE. HELL IF I KNOW, KID. I'M NO THEOLOGOHUXTABLE OR HOWEVER YOU SAY IT. ON THE OTHER HAND, KARKINOS IS *DEFINITELY* A NAME YOU SHOULD JOT DOWN IN YOUR ESOTERIC DEITIES HANDBOOK. IT'S LIKE ANCIENT HISTORY. HE'S REVERED BY ALL CRUSTACEANS FOR TAKING ON THIS SON OF GODS GUY WAY BACK IN THE DAY. HE PRETTY MUCH GOT HIS ASS WHOOPED, BUT US TRUE
  1208. <PurpleKoopa> KARKINISTS BELIEVE THAT HIS SPIRIT LIVES ON, AND YOU CAN SCORE BROWNIE POINTS WITH HIM BY RELIVING HIS EXPLOITS, WHICH PRETTY MUCH AMOUNTS TO BEING THE ROUGHINEST TOUGHINEST CRAB YOU CAN BE."
  1209. <PurpleKoopa> "THERE'S A WHOLE LOTTA LONG-ASS BACKSTORY TO IT, BUT SOME FOLK SAY IT'S JUST A CROCKPOT OF HOOEY TO SELL STUFF LIKE ROE CUBES. EITHER WAY, I CAN'T COMPLAIN. ROE CUBES ARE DELICIOUS."
