Have Left Forsaken

[achancewithchance]

Itrapped! Whats ur hair care routine?

.. why, i’m glad you asked! I have two separate routines. But I’ll gladly tell you both!

Whenever I needed to make a public appearance, it was a simple fix: purple shampoos, anti-frizz, and a glossing mist. Preferably spray-on, to get that paparazzi shine! Oh and charcoal-infused shampoos and frosted-peppermint conditioners once a week. Those are very important.

Whenever I was out doing extra curricular activities (just illegal expeditions) I’d apply a quick matte styling paste to keep the hair’s appearance up while traversing dirty terrain… like underground tombs. I’d also put my hair in a bun and spray some quick anti-frizz (very important! He won’t drop this). Hope this could help!

[achancewithchance]

" BECAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO YOU BOSS. "

*continues to taze chance*

OKAY-OKAY, STOP TAZING CHANCE THOUGH THEYRE INNOCENT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT!

OWWWWWE STOPPPPP- MAF HELP-

*Chance flails violently as they continue to be mercilessly tased*

[hiamd3adagain]

" OKAY THANK GOD WE CAN AGREE ON SOMETHING FOR ONCE DIFFERENT UNIVERSE MAF "

* She Pulls her taser away from Chance.

"So You guys know you have different versions of yourselves correct???"

[achancewithchance]

*Chance scurries off while sobbing.*

..we do??! I didn’t know that… but I’m followin’ ya..

[hiamd3adagain]

" YEAH we DO. For example. In my Universe I am apart of your gang ! Anyway- more important part. IM GONNA GET KILLED AND I NEED HELP. "

[achancewithchance]

..and how do I know you’re not just pullin’ my leg..? For all I know, you could be the spectre messin’ with us again…

*Maf looks away, thinking over what she had just said.*

…Who do you think is after ya…?

[hiamd3adagain]

" YOU IN MY WORLD. YOU ARE GOING TO SLICE MY NECK T H I N. "

" BECAUSE you're like...I mean the gang- i- uh- auh "

* Vinny passes Out on the ground suddenly

[achancewithchance]

Woah-!

*Maf kneels down by her body, picking it up and examining it for a moment.*

Chance! Come help- fugget about it..

*Mafioso sighed and picked her up, carrying her inside while thinking over what happened. Once inside he placed her on the couch, chance stumbling into the living room.*

Eyyyyy- oh.. uh.. what happened to her?

..dunno..she just kinda…fainted.

..oh..!

[hiamd3adagain]

" Guhhh... "

* Yeah she's VERY passed out. And IS THAT BLEEDING ON HER FOREHEAD.

[achancewithchance]

Go get her some bandages!

*Chance nods and quickly leaves, returning with the bandages. He begins to wrap them around her forehead.*

She should be fine after a bit..let’s just let her be until she wakes back up.

…yeah..I’ll get my men to take watch.

*Maf calls his boys in, Capo, Consigliere, Contractee and soldier coming in.*

You four watch her until she wakes up. If any of yous sense her stirring then you come to me immediately, capiche?

Yeah boss!

*The four men guard the couch in silence.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*Vinny seems to be REALLY Unconscious. She's breathing yes. But at the same time said breathing seems to be REALLY Heavy. Like...not so normal Breathing.

*You all should Really Need to keep an Eye on her...,maybe try to do something?

[achancewithchance]

..is she okay?

*Contractee awkwardly piped up. Consigliere looked over at her body.*

..possibly. She’s really out of it though….

*Soldier pokes her curiously, while Caporegime occasionally felt for a pulse.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*And then suddenly. All of you Pass out.

*You all Wake up in a weird Dreamcore like Place. You are in Grass. you are laying in its Softness.

*Where are you? You don't know. It seems to be someone's Dream or something

[achancewithchance]

..woah…

*Consigliere sits up, groaning. Caporegime and the others look around silently.*

What is this place…? Are we dreaming..?

…dunno…we should look for a way out.

what about boss, Chance, and that girl?

We’ll find them.

*Caporegime reassures.*

We’re gonna look around for the exit like what soldier said.

*The four men begin their journey, walking around the liminal area.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*As you walk around. It's just endless grass, dandelions and...others, the place looked like it was colored by a child. Scribble like Clouds...

*Then you see a girl ahead.

*She seemed to be humming to herself. She also had a floating IV Beside her....weird...should you approach her?

[achancewithchance]

*The four men stood behind her, contemplating approaching her. Contractee nervously spoke up.*

U-Uhm…..excuse me!! You seem- uh…lost-

Zip it. You’re seriously tryna communicate with a ghost- or something otherworldly?!

‘Ey! Don’t be offensive she’s right there!

Boys! Will you chill? We got bigger fish to fry!

*Caporegime sighed. Soldier giggled, enjoying Cons and Contractee’s beef.*

…anyway… ‘xcuse me, miss…but we’re lost- do you know…a way out..

..this kinda seems sus.

It’s our only way, soldier. Let ‘regime talk.

*Caporegime approached the woman, noticing the notes coming from her.*

Sorry to interrupt your singing but we really need to find a way out..

[hiamd3adagain]

" ? "

*The girl turned around.

"..out? Uhh....."

*She awkwardly looked around

" I dunno uhm...I've been stuck here ever since I close my eyes at the hospital.. "

*she scratched her head, trying to figure out how to help out the boys

[achancewithchance]

Hospital-? What-

..I think this is a dream guys…

…ehh…definitely has to be.

….Are you dead, Ms?

Contractee!

*Consigliere scolds, sighing.*

…but he has a point. Are we dead..? This doesn’t scream reality..

[hiamd3adagain]

"Oh! Dead? No you guys aren't you're simply dreaming! Well err.... except me but yeah! You guys are just asleep."

*The Girl Shrugs, before tugging on her IV Stand.

"You'll have to wait it out sadly. Or not. I don't know how people leave here, some come an go but most of the time they die...."

[achancewithchance]

Oh..! That’s a….partial relief!

*Contractee sighs, looking over at the mysterious person.*

Wait- die..? How so? It seems pretty safe here…to be honest. Unless.. you mean by natural causes like dehydration or somethin’..?

Boys I think we’re cooked.

…no you idiot, we have our weapons! Well just wait it out and defend ourselves until we..wake up.

..do you think this is because of the lady boss met earlier?

*Capo pauses.*

..possibly.. it’s kinda strange..

[hiamd3adagain]

"? What lady? "

*The girl tilts her head

" do you mean The Sea Bunny lady? "

[achancewithchance]

Yes! Her! We think she’s the reason this is happening- we don’t know why…but we know that this all kinda feels strange..!

Do you know her by chance?

*Soldier asks, crossing his arms.*

[hiamd3adagain]

" oh! Yeah! She's basically me but a sea bunny.. er no..Uhm... "

*She Scratches her head again. Habit.

" Now I know why your here! don't worry. You'll all Be awake!....eventually. hope your boss doesn't mind you guys sleepin like you guys are dead..,"

[achancewithchance]

..oh! That’s a…relief..but uhh…how long does this take? I don’t wanna be here for long! We need to get back to boss!

*Contractee begins to freak out, soldier putting his hand on his shoulder to calm him.*

..easy there bud. Trust her. We’ll be fine.

Excuse him… he has attachment issues to boss..

If you don’t mind me askin’, how did you go from being a regular…robloxian to being a..sea bunny..?

*Consigliere watches her curiously, observing her body language. The boys were even more confused now.*

[hiamd3adagain]

((Lore....))

" W- well....It's a long story..., b-but I died By someone Pushing a Bucket of hot water on my face and head and I died and became..her...We..Both have our own consciousness sometimes and...it hurts..? I-i don't really know how to explain it.. "

*She shrugged

" o-oh! and I haven't... introduced myself I-i am.. Livian "

[achancewithchance]

..thats..brutal….! Even further than I would go..

..so you two are like alter egos..?

*The boys pause for a moment. Contractee suddenly speaks up.*

..wait- so you’re like, a ghost, or somethin’..?

*Contractee asks, before shaking his head.*

..this is all a nightmare I can’t wake up from…isn’t it..?

Nope! Also don’t be a drama queen! We’ll be fine with Liv!

*Soldier flicks Contractees hat.*

Nice to meet you..livian! Im Lorenzo, thats Stefano, our little brother.

*Consigliere points at Contractee, who looked like he was having a crisis. He then pointed to soldier.*

Thats Rico.

*He then pointed to Caporegime.*

And thats Fernando. He’s our oldest.

..hi..again..

[hiamd3adagain]

" Nice to know all your names... "

*Livian Smiles

" Funny enough...Our or well...in her universe...You guys are there as well..and boss..She's Your guys Intelligence. she's the one who finds people in debt, etc,...Its weird to share a conscious with her... "

[achancewithchance]

..oh! Eh- excuse me for a moment..

*Lorenzo clapped his hands together.*

Boys! Listen up!

*The three men stop what they were doing, listening to Lorenzo.*

I think- I think I know whats happening….partly… We’re in some dream world, and this kind lady is one of us. Just from another universe. She is the same as the sea bunny lady. Dont be too wary or unwelcoming.

*Lorenzo looked back at Livian.*

Early you told boss somethin’ about bein’ hunted by him and presumably us in your universe…eh.. Whats that about…? You owe us somethin’ or did you rat the family out to the feds?

[hiamd3adagain]

" No...Uhm... It's..it's because of A Toxic Conman we were originally gonna deal with...his name's Leon..and He well...To put in better words. Brainwashed you all. And Since Vinny stays At The HQ to monitor you all...she's... basically the only one left to get you all back soo.. "

*Livian looked away awkwardly

" Yeah we're kinda On Rope here... "

[achancewithchance]

…oh..! Thats- uhh-

..Unexpected..

Yeah! What he said!

So is there any way to help her..? When we wake up of course. Because if she can’t go back, we’ll welcome her into our..family!

..do you really think that’s a good idea Lorenzo? We’re trapped in this weird limbo! It would be a worse fate than death for her. We don’t need the spectre claiming another…plus she doesn’t deserve to spend eternity here..

*Soldier crosses his arms.*

We should act fast, but we gotta figure out how to wake up first.

Oh? Whats your idea, genius?

*Contractee huffed, overloaded, it seems.*

[hiamd3adagain]

" I mean....Fall Off a tall building that could work...People wake up from falling yeah? "

*Livian paused before continuing

" theres Monkey bars that's tall enough. It's a Dream here anything can happen without fault. "

[achancewithchance]

So could I commit arson-?!

No- bad contractee.

..aw.

I’m tired of waiting on you three.

*Capo goes and jumps off a nearby ledge. The three pause.*

Eh….i guess we’ll go now too.. thanks for being kind and helpful with us!

[hiamd3adagain]

" Pleasure. "

*Livian nodded before she Turned away and sat back on the grass. Waiting for this moment to end.

*You All wake up.

*Back in the Living Room like you never left or even met Livian

*Vinny seemed asleep still. Maybe...Maybe tell boss about What's happening with Vinny and problem?

[achancewithchance]

*The four boys lay on the floor, disoriented.*

Owwwwwwwww. I have a terrible headache, Lorenzo.

..Nph- I think we all do..

*Contractee jumps up.*

We gotta find boss and make sure he’s alright!!

Wait Stef-

*Stefano runs through the house, looking for mafioso, panicking throughout it. Chance comes into the room Stefano was in.*

Ohhh. You’re awake now. Sup-

*Contractee grabs Chance by the shoulders.*

WHERES BOSS?

Hey! Chill! He’s outside! Like usual.

*Contractee let’s go and quickly rushes outside.*

Pa! We missed ya!!

Nph! Hey, Stefano.

*Mafioso pats his head.*

*The others continue to try and regain their bearings, still sitting beside Vinny.*

Should we try to wake her..?

…yeah…

*Capo gently flicks her nose, trying to wake her.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*Vinny groans. Her eyes slowly open as she tries to gain her bearings again.

"what the hell.."

*she sits up. Wiping her eyes(?) even though it looked like she was wiping her hair-

[achancewithchance]

….You’re awake now. Good.

You feel alright?

*The three stand over her in concern.*

..We should get boss..

Good idea.

Ey Rico, we’re gonna go talk with boss about…what happened. Stay with Vinny until we get back.

You got it.

*The boys leave, going to talk with mafioso. Soldier sighs.*

Eh…want anything?

[hiamd3adagain]

" eh...? Oh uhm...Water. I want water. "

*Vinny asked. Stretching her limbs before standing up from the couch

" so uh...You guys- "

*Vinny turns around to face Soldier before she yelped.

" OH DANG "

[achancewithchance]

*Soldier stands silently, holding the glass of water.*

Eh..Sorry to scare you! I brought your water.

*He hands her the bottle.*

We only have bottled stuff until boss restocks..so sorry if it’s an inconvenience..

[hiamd3adagain]

*Vinny looks Up at Soldier before she awkwardly faced away and unscrewed the bottle cap and drinking from it.

" Thank You Uh...Soldier..? "

*she paused before speaking again.

" where's boss..? "

[achancewithchance]

*Soldier watched, crossing his arms and looking down.*

Da. (yeah)

*He stood silently for a moment.*

Outside. Drinking beer probably. Boys went to go tell him about what happened.

*Soldier gestured to the door, a campfire glowing faintly through the glass screen.*

Why? You wanna see him?

[achancewithchance]

" BECAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO YOU BOSS. "

*continues to taze chance*

OKAY-OKAY, STOP TAZING CHANCE THOUGH THEYRE INNOCENT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT!

OWWWWWE STOPPPPP- MAF HELP-

*Chance flails violently as they continue to be mercilessly tased*

[hiamd3adagain]

" OKAY THANK GOD WE CAN AGREE ON SOMETHING FOR ONCE DIFFERENT UNIVERSE MAF "

*There are heavy breathing noises*

..uhhh…..…

…I don’t think we should be outside anymore…Chance..

..yeah..uh…let’s go..

*The two stare at the spot where the breathing is coming from, standing there a little bit longer than both of them wanted to.*

[stanislav-rybinsky]

*Stanislav pets the bunny*

[achancewithchance]

*The bunny happily yips at him.*

..aww.

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "It seems that bunnies like me... Odd."

[achancewithchance]

..oh?

*Mafioso watches as the rest of the bunnies hop over to Stanislav and crowd him.*

..seems so.. theyre not usually like this. Sorry..

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "I don't mind, I guess. As long as they don't bite me-"

[achancewithchance]

Ehh..Theyre usually calm unless you try to touch their belly. For some reason.

*The bunnies happily loaf around him.*

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "They don't like it if someone touches their belly??"

[achancewithchance]

Nah. For some reason. Theyre very sensitive I think.

*The bunnies begin to nibble on him.*

[stanislav-rybinsky]

*Stanislav mostly feels nothing, because he is mostly wearing armor and has tough skin that is not easy to break*

[achancewithchance]

*They begin to pout and climb him again.*

STANISLAV: "Uhhhhhhhhh..."

[achancewithchance]

I can take them if you like. Theyre very mischievous.

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "I don't mind, I'll let them do their stuff... I like bunnies. Though, I do wonder how Mstislav would react to them..."

[achancewithchance]

…eh…..who..?

*He paused to think.*

..so she’s eh…a friend or somethin’..?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

*Mafioso slept peacefully in his bed with the loafling. Who wasn’t able to sleep much due to still adjusting to their new home. The loafling stirred in the middle of the night, looking around. It noticed that Mafioso left his door cracked open, a small glimmer of light coming in. The loafling limped to the edge of the bed and hopped off, limping towards the door. It followed its nose to the kitchen, which was empty. The entire house was asleep, and the little loafling was on a mission to eat as much as it could. It approached the fridge and began trying to open it, only managing to successfully open it after a few noisy attempts. Once opened, it began to look over the options, chirping happily. Mafioso begins to stir, having overheard some noise. He feels around for the loafling, still half asleep, until he can’t feel anything on the bed. He immediately shoots up, panicked.*

..eh..?! Loafling?!

-Eating noises could be heard from the kitchen-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looked around his bedroom quickly, panicked, before hearing what sounded like munching noises. He immediately leaves his room and goes into the kitchen. He jolts into the doorway, alert. His expression immediately changes when he sees the loafling munching on food, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal as he approached, standing over the tiny loafling.*

…There you are..you scared me..

*Mafioso kneels down, watching the loafling continue to munch. He turns to the open fridge door, seeing that half of the food was gone.*

…you have a big appetite, ‘ey…? I can’t…even be mad…

*He sighed, closing the fridge.*

I don’t even know how something so little could possibly open the door, but….good…job…maybe you’re meant to be ‘part of da family after all.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tilted its head to the side, not knowing what he meant-

[achancewithchance]

..eh..fugget about what I said… Didnt mean t’a get all sappy with yous. Anyway. Don’t run off again. I’ll keep da door shut next time just in case.

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling.*

You…gave me a scare, y’know?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles his hand-

[achancewithchance]

*Maf grins and pats the loafling.*

Sweet thing.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-Its tails wags, the loafling looks around for Chance-

[achancewithchance]

…You wanna see Chance…?

*Mafioso paused. He was slightly surprised.*

..alright..I’ll take ya to see him.

*Mafioso picked the loafling up and carried it to Chance’s room, quietly walking in and setting the loafling on the bed.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling limped right up to Chance and stared at him as he slept-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance groaned, stirring slightly. He opens his eyes, immediately seeing the loafling.*

…oh…hey…how’d you get in here..?

*Chance looks up, seeing Mafioso standing over them and the loafling tiredly.*

…..it wanted you…

..really..? Awe…I’m flattered.

*Chance pats the loafling tiredly, obviously still half asleep.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips before pouncing on Chance and licking his face happily-

[achancewithchance]

..eh- woah-!

*Chance falls back into the bed, still processing what was happening to them. Mafioso grinned slightly and watched, amused by the loaflings licking and Chances reaction.*

..seems it likes ya.

Y-Yeah! Seems so!

*Chance lays back and allows the loafling to lick, patting it gently, smiling. He seemed to be more awake now.*

..a-aw..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yipped excitedly, as it was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast with Chance, little did he know that half of the food in the fridge was gone-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grunts and sits up, trying to get the loafling off of him.*

Nph- hey! This..is cute and all…but I need to get up!! Maf! Help!!

*Mafioso watched as Chance tried prying the loafling off their face.*

C’mon, pucchiac, it’s so simple.

*Mafioso gently grabs the loafling and removes it from Chance’s face, which was covered in saliva from the loaflings constant licking. Chance grimaced a bit, immediately rushing to wipe their face with their sleeve.*

..thanks maf.. It seems very…happy..

*Mafioso holds the loafling gently, despite its constant flailing and chirping.*

..you think it’s hungry..?

No. It just ate. A lot too.

*The loafling perks up at the mention of food and begins flailing and chirping more.*

..but it seems hungry..here, give it to me.

..

*Mafioso hesitantly gives the loafling to Chance.*

Let’s get ya some food.

*Chance walks into the kitchen, setting the loafling on the floor. Mafioso stands beside the two, watching Chance open the fridge.*

…what….?

*Chance stares at the near empty fridge. There was nothing left aside from stuff the loafling didnt like.*

….WHAT THE FU-

Inside voice!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at the half empty fridge before looking up at Chance-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance looks down at the loafling in a mix of awe, shock and confusion.*

You’re telling me, this little thing ate nearly our entire stock of food?!

..yeah- I don’t know how but it did..somehow.. It has quite the appetite.

*Mafioso smiles fondly, kneeling to pick the loafling up again.*

..you let it eat our entire stock?!

..no! It somehow got out when I was sleepin’! You seriously think I’d feed this creature our entire food supply?!

*Chance groaned. He looked over at the loafling, their expression changing to one of mild anger.*

You- You ate practically all the food stuff, and-

*Chance sighs, their gaze softening at the loaflings innocent expression.*

…I can’t be mad… but I am disappointed though.. now we have to go shopping..this early into the morning.. you’re off the hook for now..if you do this again though, you’re sleeping on the floor…or couch..I’m not cruel like maf.

..I heard that..

I know. Anyway, we’re taking you with us.

*Chance begins to walk towards the door tiredly, going to grab their keys.*

..c’mon, we got some shopping to do.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling quickly limped over to the front door, occasionally falling a few times due to the shortened nub it had, but it didn’t seem to mind-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance opened the door, walking out to the car with Mafioso and the loafling limping by his side. Once they approached the car, he picks it up and places it inside.*

There we go. Get cozy.

*Two get in the car and start their journey to a nearby market.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around in the car seat a bit before getting comfortable-

[achancewithchance]

*After a bit they arrive at the market. Chance grabs a nearby cart and places the loafling in it.*

There. Front row view.

*He began to push the cart while mafioso walked beside them into the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around the store in awe-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance continued to push the cart around the store, grabbing different foods. Chance parked the cart by the shelf, patting the loafling.*

Me and Maf are gonna look at something real quick. Don’t worry.

*The two walked down the aisle and began to look for what they needed, leaving the loafling alone in the cart. The loafling looked around, suddenly becoming more aware of its surroundings. The loafling let out a scared chirp, becoming overwhelmed by noise.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It proceeded to let out more distressed yips and chirps as it defecated itself out of pure fear-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looks over at the cart after hearing the loud yips. He pauses when he saw the mess on the floor.*

..oh..! You okay??

*He approaches the cart and sighs.*

Too noisy in here for you huh? I’ll..find a way to clean this mess…

*Mafioso tells Chance to go get something to calm the loafling, and the two leave the isle, leaving mafioso to clean the mess.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whines tries to get out of the cart-

[achancewithchance]

Woah- hold on!

*Chance parks the cart and takes the flailing loafling out, setting it down.*

Try not to wander off, okay? Or…do what you just did..again.. we need no more messes.

*He sighed and watched the loafling roam up and down the aisle.*

Cutie.

*Chance grabbed a pack of some things for the family and placed them into the cart, grabbing the loafling and putting it in as well. He notices its little beans.*

Awww!!!!

*He gently squishes one of the beans, smiling.*

I didn’t know you had beans!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It randomly poked its little tongue out at him-

[achancewithchance]

Aw!!! Squishy!

*He playfully booped its nose and continued to squish its beans. Mafioso approaches the two after looking for them.*

What are you- aww.

*Mafioso grins, seeing the loaflings tongue out and bean paws. Mafioso begins to squish too, fascinated by the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling had calmed down, it stared at the people passing by-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso gently stopped squishing it. He turned to Chance.*

Here, why don’t we swap shifts? I’ll stay with the lil’ thing, ‘n you can go get sum of da stuff ya need.

Aww..but I wanted to push it around-

Go, Chance.

…fine…..

*Chance leaves the isle, leaving the loafling and mafioso alone. He continued to squish the loaflings beans before stopping.*

Alright, I need to get some spices while I’m already over here. I’ll be just right there, don’t you worry.

*Mafioso walked down the aisle a bit to find the spices, browsing them, leaving the loafling alone again, though maf was nearby.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It noticed a little bit of dirt on its paw and licked itself clean-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso returns after a bit with the spices, noticing it licking itself.*

Aw. Cute.

*He placed the spices in the cart.*

Poor thing. You’ve seemed to have gotten dirty since we’ve been in here. I’ll have one of my men clean ya up when we’re back home alright?

*He began to push the cart, taking a crumpled list out of his pocket and checking things off.*

We just need sum bread left.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around. Once it spotted the bread, it yipped to get Mafioso’s attention-

[achancewithchance]

..?

*Mafioso looked down, then back up, spotting the bread.*

Aw, thank you. You’re such a good little scout. Maybe I’ll reward ya with candy?

*He pats the loafling as he places the bread in the cart.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tries to nibble on the bread-

[achancewithchance]

Hey- no. Bad. I said I’ll get yous some candy upfront. No nibbling though, okay?

*Mafioso sighed and pushed the cart towards the check-out.*

We’ll wait for Chance here..if his slow ass gets here fast enough.

*The two wait by the check-out, waiting for Chance to return. Soon, they approach the cart.*

I was looking for you two! Where have you been??

Getting our stuff. Where have you been, Mr. ‘It takes me ten years just to find some pickles’?

I was looking for the cereal, old man. Now let’s go. It’s too crowded in here.

*Chance pats the loafling and waits in line with mafioso and it, bored of the slow pace in the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling lets out a tiny yawn-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. What? You tired?

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling.*

Don’t worry, we’ll be outta dis hellhole soon. Chance is payin’ this time.

What- we agreed you would- fine…I’ll pay this time.

*Chance walks up to the check-out counter and begins the payment process while maf begins loading stuff onto the conveyor. The loafling watches everything around it tiredly.*

Got everything.

*Maf leans against the cart, watching Chance put the bags in the cart. Soon after he begins to push it outside.*

Wasn’t so bad, was it, lil’ thing?

*Chance pats the loafling. Soon after, they arrive at their car. Chance gently picks the loafling up and places it back into the large seat, before going to help maf put the groceries and cart away.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around clearly not liking being dirty-

[achancewithchance]

*The two finish putting the groceries away and get back into the car.*

We’ll be home soon. Don’t worry.

*Chance reassured, holding the loafling in the front so it could see outside. Mafioso began the drive home.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling pressed its little face against the window-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grinned.*

Awee!!!!! You want the window down?!

*He rolled the window down, allowing the loafling to stick its head out.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stuck its head out the window and yipped-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon the three arrived home. Chance got out of the car, alongside maf. They enter the home and set the loafling down.*

I’ll ask maf to get one of his boys to bathe you. I gotta bring our groceries in alright?

*Chance went back out and mafioso came in after a minute.*

Chance told me you needed a bath, so I’ll get one of my boys to do it since I’ll be busy.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling waited in the living room-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso called his goon, Caporegime into the room. Caporegime looked down at the loafling, his face remaining blank.*

Give it a quick bath. Bubbles too.

Alright, boss.

*Caporegime takes the loafling from him, holding it firmly in his grasp. He walks to the bathroom with the loafling, setting it down gently in the sink before turning the bath water on for the tub.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sat in the tub and patiently waited to be washed-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime began to wash the loafling, silently and efficiently. He occasionally made sure the loafling was cozy as he continued to bathe it.

We should be done soon.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling made it easier for him to wash its little body-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime begins to clean the loaflings beans, gently making sure to get the clean.*

..You’re doing good..

*He gently patted the loaflings head while continuing to wash.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirped as its beans were quite ticklish-

[achancewithchance]

..sorry..

*Caporegime gently began to wash, watching the loafling chirp.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling didn’t seem to mind, its tail wagged happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aww..

*Caporegime continued to wash the loafling in warm water, occasionally giving it headpats or speaking to it.*

..You should be all done…you don’t smell..bad anymore..

*He picked the loafling up and wrapped it in a towel, holding it like a newborn baby against him as he walked out with it.*

Boss wanted me to put you in his bedroom.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to like Caporegime since he was nice-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime opens the door and puts it on the bed.*

There you go…keep the towel on though. Boss doesn’t you to get his bed wet.

*He pats the loafling and goes to guard the door from the outside.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling doesn’t really know what to do now, so it just stays on the bed-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon mafioso comes inside, sitting by the loafling.*

You smell better already. He did really good with ya.

*He picks the loafling up and holds it gently.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It licked Mafioso’s face affectionately-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and pats its head.*

Awwwwww. I love you too.

*He kisses its forehead and grins.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips before stretching-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. You tired or just regularly stretchin’?

*Mafioso gently pats it.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sneezes-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling affectionately.*

Excuse you.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling boops him with its nub out of curiosity-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso pauses, before grinning.*

Awww! Gettin’ bold huh?

*Mafioso gently boops the loafling back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps before trying to climb on him-

[achancewithchance]

Huh- woah!

*Mafioso lets it climb him, grabbing its side to keep it from falling off.*

Careful now!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling successfully climbed on top of him-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. Careful now.

*Mafioso grins, sitting still for the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It nuzzles him happily with its wet little nose-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*He nuzzles back happily, feeling its fluffiness.*

Like a fluffy pillow.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling just kinda rests there on him-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso leans back and sighs.*

Cozy up there? I plan on watching tv for a bit. Maybe I’ll even get chance to come watch.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips quietly-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and begins to watch tv with the loafling on his head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling watches Tv, occasionally “making biscuits” on Mafioso’s head-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. What’re ya doin’ up there?

*Mafioso looked up at the loafling.*

That kinda tickles. Be careful alright?

*Mafioso reached up and gently pats the loaflings back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to be uninterested by the tv as it was doing its own thing-

[achancewithchance]

*The two watched the movie in silence, until Chance comes in.*

Aww. Would ya look at that! Little bonding going on huh?

Shush. It’s just resting..I think..yeah..

Can I join?

*Chance grinned smugly and sat by Maf, patting the loafling on his head.*

..fine…just don’t be annoyin’.

Thanks Maf!

*Chance watched tv, but was more focused on the loafling.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling continued to “make biscuits” on Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

..it seems to like my head..

No kidding. Enjoying the view up there?

*Chance watched curiously while the loafling made its biscuits in Mafiosos hair.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at Chance before chirping-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance stared in disbelief.*

Awwwww!!! Look maf! It’s chirping!

*He pats the loafling.*

..yeah..seems happy…..Just make sure it don’t mess my hair up…

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whined, it wanted to be held-

[achancewithchance]

Heh. You want ol’ Chancey to hold ya-?

It’s gettin’ kinda heavy. Maybe it wants to spend some time in your lap?

*Chance reaches up and grabs the loafling, holding it gently.*

There we are. Hi, little thing.

*Chance holds it in their hands gently, smiling and occasionally kissing its head.*

It’s so soft maf! Feel.

*Chance rubs the loaflings fluffy back against Mafioso’s cheek teasingly. Mafioso grunts.*

Hey! Knock it off!

Not until you admit it’s fluffy!

I’ve already done this- but fine! I’ll admit, it’s really really fluffy and soft! Now stop!!!!

*Chance stops, holding the loafling in their lap.*

See? Wasn’t so hard. It’s happy now.

*Chance pats the loaflings fluffy back, mafioso occasionally petting too.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps happily, the loafling closes its eyes as it gets showered in affection-

[achancewithchance]

Who’s a good loafling?

*Chance scratches the top of their head affectionately, mafioso moving to rub its fluffy stomach.*

Aww!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling practically melts at their touch-

[achancewithchance]

Seems someone’s enjoying all this attention huh?

*Chance kisses the loaflings forehead before booping it.*

Lemme have a turn!

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling, showering it in affection with Chance.i

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps again, but it’s more hight pitched-

[achancewithchance]

Aww! I think it’s happy!

No kidding!

*The two continue pampering the loafling happily. Chance places it in their lap and pats its head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling licks them both-

[achancewithchance]

Aw- eh…saliva..ew

Aww don’t be a scaredy cat Chance. It’s just a little saliva, ya big germaphobe!

*Mafioso pats the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It keeps licking them, clearly happy-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso giggles while Chance frowned, slightly grossed out. He was always a germaphobe when it came to being licked.*

O-Okay! We love you too! Just- Just no more licking!

*Chance grimaced. His words were lighthearted though. He enjoyed the affection from the loafling. Maf grins and flicks the loaflings nose.*

I love you, ya little gremlin.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling stopped and looked around, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the room, must be Mafioso’s goons-

[achancewithchance]

..huh?

*Mafioso looked up at the door, seeing his boys come in, standing in formation, aside from Contractee and Soldier.*

Im tellin’ ya Rico, I get dibs on da loafling!

Nuh-uh. I get to pet it first!

…can you two stop..? It’s getting annoying.

*Capo snapped, swatting Contractee on the back of his neck.*

Ow! You cazzo!

*Contractee begins to scuffle with Capo while Consigliere just watched.*

*Soldier immediately rushes up to the loafling, squishing its cheek. Maf looked down at the loafling as soldier continued to squish and pet.*

So…soft! Boys, come feel!

*The boys stop their fighting and immediately approach, beginning to pet it.*

Aww!

..woah..

Soft one.

Reminds me of one of your bunnies, back in the overworld, pops.

..heh..yeah..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It recognised Caporegime and chirped-

[achancewithchance]

..aww. Hi again.

*Capo pats the loafling affectionately. The others look jealous that it seemed to recognize him instead of them.*

Lemme pet!

*Contractee pushes him to the side, patting the loafling.*

Easy boys.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling proceeded to show them its little beans-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Everyone shouts in unison. The loafling had them wrapped around its finger at the moment.

*Soldier feels on its beans.*

..squishy.

Here, set it down so we can watch it roam.

*Contractee/Stefano suggested. Consigliere/Lorenzo picked the loafing up and sat it in the floor, allowing it to roam. The boys followed behind it, watching its every move.*

I wonder what it’ll do!

*Stefano exclaimed, following it a bit more. Soldier/Rico followed too closely, accidentally stepping on its tail with his boot.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It let out a yelp and whined in pain-

[achancewithchance]

Oh!

*everyone stopped their admiring and looked over at Rico.*

..eh…sorry!!! I didn’t mean too! It was just too small!

It could’ve gotten hurt! Be more careful next time ya brute!

I didn’t mean it, guys!! I just mistepped. It’s like accidentally stepping on a kitten!! I’m sorry, alright!

I’m tellin’ boss!

..Oh god-

Pops, Rico stepped on da loafling!!

*Chance snickered.*

Stefanos a tattletale huh? I thought you guys hated having rats in the mob?

Shut it. He’s different.

*Maf sighed, waving his hands around.*

Look, Stefano, Rico didnt mean it. It was an accident he apologized for. Now if he did it again than that would be different because then I’d be upset with how clumsy he is, which is usually-

*Maf pauses when he hears the loafling cry out in pain.*

…RICO.

Ehh…sorry loafling….Clumsy me…. Bye-

*Soldier ran out, Mafioso immediately pursuing.*

CMERE SO I CAN TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU LITTLE SHIT-

*The others stay in silence in Mafioso’s bedroom.*

..did that just happen..?

….yeah..it’s common for boss to need to teach soldier a lesson…constantly.. he’s more rebellious and clumsy than contractee. Thats saying something.

Shut the fu-

Language.

*Lorenzo swats Stefano. Fernando just stares into the void like a machine until he hears the loafling chirping. It seemed to want to follow mafioso and rico. Fernando approached and picked it up, holding it.*

…I’m taking it with me.

*Fernando walked out, going to search for mafioso and rico.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling sniffed the air, looking for Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

…

*Capo continued to look for Maf and Soldier, spotting maf in the living room.*

OWW-! I learned my lesson!!!!!!

Boss!

*Capo sat the loafling down and stood behind boss, watching. Soldier wasn’t bleeding or too roughed up, just in enough pain to be able to learn his lesson.*

Be careful next time when dealing with small creatures! You should’ve know better after what happened with one of my bunnies! You’re too clumsy!

Ow-! I’m sorry!

*The loafling chirped, mafioso turning his attention to it.*

Aww. Hi again.

*Maf gently patted the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It limped over to Soldier and sniffed him-

[achancewithchance]

..Nph..hi again.

*Soldier pats the loafling, mafioso watching like a hawk.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aw. It knows I learned my lesson. Don’t need to hit me anymore boss.

..fine..just be more careful alright?

I promise.

*Soldier groans and sits up, picking thr loafling up.*

Take it back to the bedroom. I’ll be back with some snacks for it.

You got it boss.

*Soldier takes tje loafling back to the bedroom.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-it got comfortable is Soldier’s arms-

[achancewithchance]

Aw. Good lil thing huh?

*Soldier sets the loafling on the bed, smothering it in affection alongside the other boys. And Chance.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles them-

[achancewithchance]

*The boys and Chance grin, patting the loafling again affectionately.*

Aww!!

*The boys shout in unison, squishing the loafling. Chance sits up and looks around.*

I wonder why maf hasn’t came back yet.

Probably getting a snack?

*Consigliere suggests.*

Ehhhhh…prolly….just seems weird….

[achancewithchance]

*There are heavy breathing noises*

..uhhh…..…

…I don’t think we should be outside anymore…Chance..

..yeah..uh…let’s go..

*The two stare at the spot where the breathing is coming from, standing there a little bit longer than both of them wanted to.*

[stanislav-rybinsky]

*Stanislav pets the bunny*

[achancewithchance]

*The bunny happily yips at him.*

..aww.

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "It seems that bunnies like me... Odd."

[achancewithchance]

..oh?

*Mafioso watches as the rest of the bunnies hop over to Stanislav and crowd him.*

..seems so.. theyre not usually like this. Sorry..

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "I don't mind, I guess. As long as they don't bite me-"

[achancewithchance]

Ehh..Theyre usually calm unless you try to touch their belly. For some reason.

*The bunnies happily loaf around him.*

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "They don't like it if someone touches their belly??"

[achancewithchance]

Nah. For some reason. Theyre very sensitive I think.

*The bunnies begin to nibble on him.*

[stanislav-rybinsky]

*Stanislav mostly feels nothing, because he is mostly wearing armor and has tough skin that is not easy to break*

[achancewithchance]

*They begin to pout and climb him again.*

[stanislav-rybinsky]

STANISLAV: "Uhhhhhhhhh..."

[achancewithchance]

I can take them if you like. Theyre very mischievous.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

*Mafioso slept peacefully in his bed with the loafling. Who wasn’t able to sleep much due to still adjusting to their new home. The loafling stirred in the middle of the night, looking around. It noticed that Mafioso left his door cracked open, a small glimmer of light coming in. The loafling limped to the edge of the bed and hopped off, limping towards the door. It followed its nose to the kitchen, which was empty. The entire house was asleep, and the little loafling was on a mission to eat as much as it could. It approached the fridge and began trying to open it, only managing to successfully open it after a few noisy attempts. Once opened, it began to look over the options, chirping happily. Mafioso begins to stir, having overheard some noise. He feels around for the loafling, still half asleep, until he can’t feel anything on the bed. He immediately shoots up, panicked.*

..eh..?! Loafling?!

-Eating noises could be heard from the kitchen-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looked around his bedroom quickly, panicked, before hearing what sounded like munching noises. He immediately leaves his room and goes into the kitchen. He jolts into the doorway, alert. His expression immediately changes when he sees the loafling munching on food, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal as he approached, standing over the tiny loafling.*

…There you are..you scared me..

*Mafioso kneels down, watching the loafling continue to munch. He turns to the open fridge door, seeing that half of the food was gone.*

…you have a big appetite, ‘ey…? I can’t…even be mad…

*He sighed, closing the fridge.*

I don’t even know how something so little could possibly open the door, but….good…job…maybe you’re meant to be ‘part of da family after all.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tilted its head to the side, not knowing what he meant-

[achancewithchance]

..eh..fugget about what I said… Didnt mean t’a get all sappy with yous. Anyway. Don’t run off again. I’ll keep da door shut next time just in case.

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling.*

You…gave me a scare, y’know?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles his hand-

[achancewithchance]

*Maf grins and pats the loafling.*

Sweet thing.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-Its tails wags, the loafling looks around for Chance-

[achancewithchance]

…You wanna see Chance…?

*Mafioso paused. He was slightly surprised.*

..alright..I’ll take ya to see him.

*Mafioso picked the loafling up and carried it to Chance’s room, quietly walking in and setting the loafling on the bed.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling limped right up to Chance and stared at him as he slept-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance groaned, stirring slightly. He opens his eyes, immediately seeing the loafling.*

…oh…hey…how’d you get in here..?

*Chance looks up, seeing Mafioso standing over them and the loafling tiredly.*

…..it wanted you…

..really..? Awe…I’m flattered.

*Chance pats the loafling tiredly, obviously still half asleep.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips before pouncing on Chance and licking his face happily-

[achancewithchance]

..eh- woah-!

*Chance falls back into the bed, still processing what was happening to them. Mafioso grinned slightly and watched, amused by the loaflings licking and Chances reaction.*

..seems it likes ya.

Y-Yeah! Seems so!

*Chance lays back and allows the loafling to lick, patting it gently, smiling. He seemed to be more awake now.*

..a-aw..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yipped excitedly, as it was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast with Chance, little did he know that half of the food in the fridge was gone-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grunts and sits up, trying to get the loafling off of him.*

Nph- hey! This..is cute and all…but I need to get up!! Maf! Help!!

*Mafioso watched as Chance tried prying the loafling off their face.*

C’mon, pucchiac, it’s so simple.

*Mafioso gently grabs the loafling and removes it from Chance’s face, which was covered in saliva from the loaflings constant licking. Chance grimaced a bit, immediately rushing to wipe their face with their sleeve.*

..thanks maf.. It seems very…happy..

*Mafioso holds the loafling gently, despite its constant flailing and chirping.*

..you think it’s hungry..?

No. It just ate. A lot too.

*The loafling perks up at the mention of food and begins flailing and chirping more.*

..but it seems hungry..here, give it to me.

..

*Mafioso hesitantly gives the loafling to Chance.*

Let’s get ya some food.

*Chance walks into the kitchen, setting the loafling on the floor. Mafioso stands beside the two, watching Chance open the fridge.*

…what….?

*Chance stares at the near empty fridge. There was nothing left aside from stuff the loafling didnt like.*

….WHAT THE FU-

Inside voice!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at the half empty fridge before looking up at Chance-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance looks down at the loafling in a mix of awe, shock and confusion.*

You’re telling me, this little thing ate nearly our entire stock of food?!

..yeah- I don’t know how but it did..somehow.. It has quite the appetite.

*Mafioso smiles fondly, kneeling to pick the loafling up again.*

..you let it eat our entire stock?!

..no! It somehow got out when I was sleepin’! You seriously think I’d feed this creature our entire food supply?!

*Chance groaned. He looked over at the loafling, their expression changing to one of mild anger.*

You- You ate practically all the food stuff, and-

*Chance sighs, their gaze softening at the loaflings innocent expression.*

…I can’t be mad… but I am disappointed though.. now we have to go shopping..this early into the morning.. you’re off the hook for now..if you do this again though, you’re sleeping on the floor…or couch..I’m not cruel like maf.

..I heard that..

I know. Anyway, we’re taking you with us.

*Chance begins to walk towards the door tiredly, going to grab their keys.*

..c’mon, we got some shopping to do.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling quickly limped over to the front door, occasionally falling a few times due to the shortened nub it had, but it didn’t seem to mind-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance opened the door, walking out to the car with Mafioso and the loafling limping by his side. Once they approached the car, he picks it up and places it inside.*

There we go. Get cozy.

*Two get in the car and start their journey to a nearby market.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around in the car seat a bit before getting comfortable-

[achancewithchance]

*After a bit they arrive at the market. Chance grabs a nearby cart and places the loafling in it.*

There. Front row view.

*He began to push the cart while mafioso walked beside them into the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around the store in awe-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance continued to push the cart around the store, grabbing different foods. Chance parked the cart by the shelf, patting the loafling.*

Me and Maf are gonna look at something real quick. Don’t worry.

*The two walked down the aisle and began to look for what they needed, leaving the loafling alone in the cart. The loafling looked around, suddenly becoming more aware of its surroundings. The loafling let out a scared chirp, becoming overwhelmed by noise.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It proceeded to let out more distressed yips and chirps as it defecated itself out of pure fear-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looks over at the cart after hearing the loud yips. He pauses when he saw the mess on the floor.*

..oh..! You okay??

*He approaches the cart and sighs.*

Too noisy in here for you huh? I’ll..find a way to clean this mess…

*Mafioso tells Chance to go get something to calm the loafling, and the two leave the isle, leaving mafioso to clean the mess.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whines tries to get out of the cart-

[achancewithchance]

Woah- hold on!

*Chance parks the cart and takes the flailing loafling out, setting it down.*

Try not to wander off, okay? Or…do what you just did..again.. we need no more messes.

*He sighed and watched the loafling roam up and down the aisle.*

Cutie.

*Chance grabbed a pack of some things for the family and placed them into the cart, grabbing the loafling and putting it in as well. He notices its little beans.*

Awww!!!!

*He gently squishes one of the beans, smiling.*

I didn’t know you had beans!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It randomly poked its little tongue out at him-

[achancewithchance]

Aw!!! Squishy!

*He playfully booped its nose and continued to squish its beans. Mafioso approaches the two after looking for them.*

What are you- aww.

*Mafioso grins, seeing the loaflings tongue out and bean paws. Mafioso begins to squish too, fascinated by the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling had calmed down, it stared at the people passing by-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso gently stopped squishing it. He turned to Chance.*

Here, why don’t we swap shifts? I’ll stay with the lil’ thing, ‘n you can go get sum of da stuff ya need.

Aww..but I wanted to push it around-

Go, Chance.

…fine…..

*Chance leaves the isle, leaving the loafling and mafioso alone. He continued to squish the loaflings beans before stopping.*

Alright, I need to get some spices while I’m already over here. I’ll be just right there, don’t you worry.

*Mafioso walked down the aisle a bit to find the spices, browsing them, leaving the loafling alone again, though maf was nearby.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It noticed a little bit of dirt on its paw and licked itself clean-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso returns after a bit with the spices, noticing it licking itself.*

Aw. Cute.

*He placed the spices in the cart.*

Poor thing. You’ve seemed to have gotten dirty since we’ve been in here. I’ll have one of my men clean ya up when we’re back home alright?

*He began to push the cart, taking a crumpled list out of his pocket and checking things off.*

We just need sum bread left.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around. Once it spotted the bread, it yipped to get Mafioso’s attention-

[achancewithchance]

..?

*Mafioso looked down, then back up, spotting the bread.*

Aw, thank you. You’re such a good little scout. Maybe I’ll reward ya with candy?

*He pats the loafling as he places the bread in the cart.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tries to nibble on the bread-

[achancewithchance]

Hey- no. Bad. I said I’ll get yous some candy upfront. No nibbling though, okay?

*Mafioso sighed and pushed the cart towards the check-out.*

We’ll wait for Chance here..if his slow ass gets here fast enough.

*The two wait by the check-out, waiting for Chance to return. Soon, they approach the cart.*

I was looking for you two! Where have you been??

Getting our stuff. Where have you been, Mr. ‘It takes me ten years just to find some pickles’?

I was looking for the cereal, old man. Now let’s go. It’s too crowded in here.

*Chance pats the loafling and waits in line with mafioso and it, bored of the slow pace in the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling lets out a tiny yawn-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. What? You tired?

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling.*

Don’t worry, we’ll be outta dis hellhole soon. Chance is payin’ this time.

What- we agreed you would- fine…I’ll pay this time.

*Chance walks up to the check-out counter and begins the payment process while maf begins loading stuff onto the conveyor. The loafling watches everything around it tiredly.*

Got everything.

*Maf leans against the cart, watching Chance put the bags in the cart. Soon after he begins to push it outside.*

Wasn’t so bad, was it, lil’ thing?

*Chance pats the loafling. Soon after, they arrive at their car. Chance gently picks the loafling up and places it back into the large seat, before going to help maf put the groceries and cart away.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around clearly not liking being dirty-

[achancewithchance]

*The two finish putting the groceries away and get back into the car.*

We’ll be home soon. Don’t worry.

*Chance reassured, holding the loafling in the front so it could see outside. Mafioso began the drive home.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling pressed its little face against the window-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grinned.*

Awee!!!!! You want the window down?!

*He rolled the window down, allowing the loafling to stick its head out.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stuck its head out the window and yipped-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon the three arrived home. Chance got out of the car, alongside maf. They enter the home and set the loafling down.*

I’ll ask maf to get one of his boys to bathe you. I gotta bring our groceries in alright?

*Chance went back out and mafioso came in after a minute.*

Chance told me you needed a bath, so I’ll get one of my boys to do it since I’ll be busy.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling waited in the living room-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso called his goon, Caporegime into the room. Caporegime looked down at the loafling, his face remaining blank.*

Give it a quick bath. Bubbles too.

Alright, boss.

*Caporegime takes the loafling from him, holding it firmly in his grasp. He walks to the bathroom with the loafling, setting it down gently in the sink before turning the bath water on for the tub.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sat in the tub and patiently waited to be washed-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime began to wash the loafling, silently and efficiently. He occasionally made sure the loafling was cozy as he continued to bathe it.

We should be done soon.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling made it easier for him to wash its little body-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime begins to clean the loaflings beans, gently making sure to get the clean.*

..You’re doing good..

*He gently patted the loaflings head while continuing to wash.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirped as its beans were quite ticklish-

[achancewithchance]

..sorry..

*Caporegime gently began to wash, watching the loafling chirp.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling didn’t seem to mind, its tail wagged happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aww..

*Caporegime continued to wash the loafling in warm water, occasionally giving it headpats or speaking to it.*

..You should be all done…you don’t smell..bad anymore..

*He picked the loafling up and wrapped it in a towel, holding it like a newborn baby against him as he walked out with it.*

Boss wanted me to put you in his bedroom.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to like Caporegime since he was nice-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime opens the door and puts it on the bed.*

There you go…keep the towel on though. Boss doesn’t you to get his bed wet.

*He pats the loafling and goes to guard the door from the outside.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling doesn’t really know what to do now, so it just stays on the bed-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon mafioso comes inside, sitting by the loafling.*

You smell better already. He did really good with ya.

*He picks the loafling up and holds it gently.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It licked Mafioso’s face affectionately-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and pats its head.*

Awwwwww. I love you too.

*He kisses its forehead and grins.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips before stretching-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. You tired or just regularly stretchin’?

*Mafioso gently pats it.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sneezes-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling affectionately.*

Excuse you.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling boops him with its nub out of curiosity-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso pauses, before grinning.*

Awww! Gettin’ bold huh?

*Mafioso gently boops the loafling back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps before trying to climb on him-

[achancewithchance]

Huh- woah!

*Mafioso lets it climb him, grabbing its side to keep it from falling off.*

Careful now!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling successfully climbed on top of him-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. Careful now.

*Mafioso grins, sitting still for the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It nuzzles him happily with its wet little nose-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*He nuzzles back happily, feeling its fluffiness.*

Like a fluffy pillow.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling just kinda rests there on him-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso leans back and sighs.*

Cozy up there? I plan on watching tv for a bit. Maybe I’ll even get chance to come watch.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips quietly-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and begins to watch tv with the loafling on his head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling watches Tv, occasionally “making biscuits” on Mafioso’s head-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. What’re ya doin’ up there?

*Mafioso looked up at the loafling.*

That kinda tickles. Be careful alright?

*Mafioso reached up and gently pats the loaflings back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to be uninterested by the tv as it was doing its own thing-

[achancewithchance]

*The two watched the movie in silence, until Chance comes in.*

Aww. Would ya look at that! Little bonding going on huh?

Shush. It’s just resting..I think..yeah..

Can I join?

*Chance grinned smugly and sat by Maf, patting the loafling on his head.*

..fine…just don’t be annoyin’.

Thanks Maf!

*Chance watched tv, but was more focused on the loafling.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling continued to “make biscuits” on Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

..it seems to like my head..

No kidding. Enjoying the view up there?

*Chance watched curiously while the loafling made its biscuits in Mafiosos hair.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at Chance before chirping-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance stared in disbelief.*

Awwwww!!! Look maf! It’s chirping!

*He pats the loafling.*

..yeah..seems happy…..Just make sure it don’t mess my hair up…

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whined, it wanted to be held-

[achancewithchance]

Heh. You want ol’ Chancey to hold ya-?

It’s gettin’ kinda heavy. Maybe it wants to spend some time in your lap?

*Chance reaches up and grabs the loafling, holding it gently.*

There we are. Hi, little thing.

*Chance holds it in their hands gently, smiling and occasionally kissing its head.*

It’s so soft maf! Feel.

*Chance rubs the loaflings fluffy back against Mafioso’s cheek teasingly. Mafioso grunts.*

Hey! Knock it off!

Not until you admit it’s fluffy!

I’ve already done this- but fine! I’ll admit, it’s really really fluffy and soft! Now stop!!!!

*Chance stops, holding the loafling in their lap.*

See? Wasn’t so hard. It’s happy now.

*Chance pats the loaflings fluffy back, mafioso occasionally petting too.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps happily, the loafling closes its eyes as it gets showered in affection-

[achancewithchance]

Who’s a good loafling?

*Chance scratches the top of their head affectionately, mafioso moving to rub its fluffy stomach.*

Aww!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling practically melts at their touch-

[achancewithchance]

Seems someone’s enjoying all this attention huh?

*Chance kisses the loaflings forehead before booping it.*

Lemme have a turn!

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling, showering it in affection with Chance.i

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps again, but it’s more hight pitched-

[achancewithchance]

Aww! I think it’s happy!

No kidding!

*The two continue pampering the loafling happily. Chance places it in their lap and pats its head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling licks them both-

[achancewithchance]

Aw- eh…saliva..ew

Aww don’t be a scaredy cat Chance. It’s just a little saliva, ya big germaphobe!

*Mafioso pats the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It keeps licking them, clearly happy-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso giggles while Chance frowned, slightly grossed out. He was always a germaphobe when it came to being licked.*

O-Okay! We love you too! Just- Just no more licking!

*Chance grimaced. His words were lighthearted though. He enjoyed the affection from the loafling. Maf grins and flicks the loaflings nose.*

I love you, ya little gremlin.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling stopped and looked around, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the room, must be Mafioso’s goons-

[achancewithchance]

..huh?

*Mafioso looked up at the door, seeing his boys come in, standing in formation, aside from Contractee and Soldier.*

Im tellin’ ya Rico, I get dibs on da loafling!

Nuh-uh. I get to pet it first!

…can you two stop..? It’s getting annoying.

*Capo snapped, swatting Contractee on the back of his neck.*

Ow! You cazzo!

*Contractee begins to scuffle with Capo while Consigliere just watched.*

*Soldier immediately rushes up to the loafling, squishing its cheek. Maf looked down at the loafling as soldier continued to squish and pet.*

So…soft! Boys, come feel!

*The boys stop their fighting and immediately approach, beginning to pet it.*

Aww!

..woah..

Soft one.

Reminds me of one of your bunnies, back in the overworld, pops.

..heh..yeah..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It recognised Caporegime and chirped-

[achancewithchance]

..aww. Hi again.

*Capo pats the loafling affectionately. The others look jealous that it seemed to recognize him instead of them.*

Lemme pet!

*Contractee pushes him to the side, patting the loafling.*

Easy boys.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling proceeded to show them its little beans-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Everyone shouts in unison. The loafling had them wrapped around its finger at the moment.

*Soldier feels on its beans.*

..squishy.

Here, set it down so we can watch it roam.

*Contractee/Stefano suggested. Consigliere/Lorenzo picked the loafing up and sat it in the floor, allowing it to roam. The boys followed behind it, watching its every move.*

I wonder what it’ll do!

*Stefano exclaimed, following it a bit more. Soldier/Rico followed too closely, accidentally stepping on its tail with his boot.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It let out a yelp and whined in pain-

[achancewithchance]

Oh!

*everyone stopped their admiring and looked over at Rico.*

..eh…sorry!!! I didn’t mean too! It was just too small!

It could’ve gotten hurt! Be more careful next time ya brute!

I didn’t mean it, guys!! I just mistepped. It’s like accidentally stepping on a kitten!! I’m sorry, alright!

I’m tellin’ boss!

..Oh god-

Pops, Rico stepped on da loafling!!

*Chance snickered.*

Stefanos a tattletale huh? I thought you guys hated having rats in the mob?

Shut it. He’s different.

*Maf sighed, waving his hands around.*

Look, Stefano, Rico didnt mean it. It was an accident he apologized for. Now if he did it again than that would be different because then I’d be upset with how clumsy he is, which is usually-

*Maf pauses when he hears the loafling cry out in pain.*

…RICO.

Ehh…sorry loafling….Clumsy me…. Bye-

*Soldier ran out, Mafioso immediately pursuing.*

CMERE SO I CAN TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU LITTLE SHIT-

*The others stay in silence in Mafioso’s bedroom.*

..did that just happen..?

….yeah..it’s common for boss to need to teach soldier a lesson…constantly.. he’s more rebellious and clumsy than contractee. Thats saying something.

Shut the fu-

Language.

*Lorenzo swats Stefano. Fernando just stares into the void like a machine until he hears the loafling chirping. It seemed to want to follow mafioso and rico. Fernando approached and picked it up, holding it.*

…I’m taking it with me.

*Fernando walked out, going to search for mafioso and rico.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling sniffed the air, looking for Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

…

*Capo continued to look for Maf and Soldier, spotting maf in the living room.*

OWW-! I learned my lesson!!!!!!

Boss!

*Capo sat the loafling down and stood behind boss, watching. Soldier wasn’t bleeding or too roughed up, just in enough pain to be able to learn his lesson.*

Be careful next time when dealing with small creatures! You should’ve know better after what happened with one of my bunnies! You’re too clumsy!

Ow-! I’m sorry!

*The loafling chirped, mafioso turning his attention to it.*

Aww. Hi again.

*Maf gently patted the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It limped over to Soldier and sniffed him-

[achancewithchance]

..Nph..hi again.

*Soldier pats the loafling, mafioso watching like a hawk.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aw. It knows I learned my lesson. Don’t need to hit me anymore boss.

..fine..just be more careful alright?

I promise.

*Soldier groans and sits up, picking thr loafling up.*

Take it back to the bedroom. I’ll be back with some snacks for it.

You got it boss.

*Soldier takes tje loafling back to the bedroom.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-it got comfortable is Soldier’s arms-

[achancewithchance]

Aw. Good lil thing huh?

*Soldier sets the loafling on the bed, smothering it in affection alongside the other boys. And Chance.*

[achancewithchance]

" BECAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO YOU BOSS. "

*continues to taze chance*

OKAY-OKAY, STOP TAZING CHANCE THOUGH THEYRE INNOCENT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT!

OWWWWWE STOPPPPP- MAF HELP-

*Chance flails violently as they continue to be mercilessly tased*

[hiamd3adagain]

" OKAY THANK GOD WE CAN AGREE ON SOMETHING FOR ONCE DIFFERENT UNIVERSE MAF "

* She Pulls her taser away from Chance.

"So You guys know you have different versions of yourselves correct???"

[achancewithchance]

*Chance scurries off while sobbing.*

..we do??! I didn’t know that… but I’m followin’ ya..

[hiamd3adagain]

" YEAH we DO. For example. In my Universe I am apart of your gang ! Anyway- more important part. IM GONNA GET KILLED AND I NEED HELP. "

[achancewithchance]

..and how do I know you’re not just pullin’ my leg..? For all I know, you could be the spectre messin’ with us again…

*Maf looks away, thinking over what she had just said.*

…Who do you think is after ya…?

[hiamd3adagain]

" YOU IN MY WORLD. YOU ARE GOING TO SLICE MY NECK T H I N. "

" BECAUSE you're like...I mean the gang- i- uh- auh "

* Vinny passes Out on the ground suddenly

[achancewithchance]

Woah-!

*Maf kneels down by her body, picking it up and examining it for a moment.*

Chance! Come help- fugget about it..

*Mafioso sighed and picked her up, carrying her inside while thinking over what happened. Once inside he placed her on the couch, chance stumbling into the living room.*

Eyyyyy- oh.. uh.. what happened to her?

..dunno..she just kinda…fainted.

..oh..!

[hiamd3adagain]

" Guhhh... "

* Yeah she's VERY passed out. And IS THAT BLEEDING ON HER FOREHEAD.

[achancewithchance]

Go get her some bandages!

*Chance nods and quickly leaves, returning with the bandages. He begins to wrap them around her forehead.*

She should be fine after a bit..let’s just let her be until she wakes back up.

…yeah..I’ll get my men to take watch.

*Maf calls his boys in, Capo, Consigliere, Contractee and soldier coming in.*

You four watch her until she wakes up. If any of yous sense her stirring then you come to me immediately, capiche?

Yeah boss!

*The four men guard the couch in silence.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*Vinny seems to be REALLY Unconscious. She's breathing yes. But at the same time said breathing seems to be REALLY Heavy. Like...not so normal Breathing.

*You all should Really Need to keep an Eye on her...,maybe try to do something?

[achancewithchance]

..is she okay?

*Contractee awkwardly piped up. Consigliere looked over at her body.*

..possibly. She’s really out of it though….

*Soldier pokes her curiously, while Caporegime occasionally felt for a pulse.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*And then suddenly. All of you Pass out.

*You all Wake up in a weird Dreamcore like Place. You are in Grass. you are laying in its Softness.

*Where are you? You don't know. It seems to be someone's Dream or something

[achancewithchance]

..woah…

*Consigliere sits up, groaning. Caporegime and the others look around silently.*

What is this place…? Are we dreaming..?

…dunno…we should look for a way out.

what about boss, Chance, and that girl?

We’ll find them.

*Caporegime reassures.*

We’re gonna look around for the exit like what soldier said.

*The four men begin their journey, walking around the liminal area.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*As you walk around. It's just endless grass, dandelions and...others, the place looked like it was colored by a child. Scribble like Clouds...

*Then you see a girl ahead.

*She seemed to be humming to herself. She also had a floating IV Beside her....weird...should you approach her?

[achancewithchance]

*The four men stood behind her, contemplating approaching her. Contractee nervously spoke up.*

U-Uhm…..excuse me!! You seem- uh…lost-

Zip it. You’re seriously tryna communicate with a ghost- or something otherworldly?!

‘Ey! Don’t be offensive she’s right there!

Boys! Will you chill? We got bigger fish to fry!

*Caporegime sighed. Soldier giggled, enjoying Cons and Contractee’s beef.*

…anyway… ‘xcuse me, miss…but we’re lost- do you know…a way out..

..this kinda seems sus.

It’s our only way, soldier. Let ‘regime talk.

*Caporegime approached the woman, noticing the notes coming from her.*

Sorry to interrupt your singing but we really need to find a way out..

[hiamd3adagain]

" ? "

*The girl turned around.

"..out? Uhh....."

*She awkwardly looked around

" I dunno uhm...I've been stuck here ever since I close my eyes at the hospital.. "

*she scratched her head, trying to figure out how to help out the boys

[achancewithchance]

Hospital-? What-

..I think this is a dream guys…

…ehh…definitely has to be.

….Are you dead, Ms?

Contractee!

*Consigliere scolds, sighing.*

…but he has a point. Are we dead..? This doesn’t scream reality..

[hiamd3adagain]

"Oh! Dead? No you guys aren't you're simply dreaming! Well err.... except me but yeah! You guys are just asleep."

*The Girl Shrugs, before tugging on her IV Stand.

"You'll have to wait it out sadly. Or not. I don't know how people leave here, some come an go but most of the time they die...."

[achancewithchance]

Oh..! That’s a….partial relief!

*Contractee sighs, looking over at the mysterious person.*

Wait- die..? How so? It seems pretty safe here…to be honest. Unless.. you mean by natural causes like dehydration or somethin’..?

Boys I think we’re cooked.

…no you idiot, we have our weapons! Well just wait it out and defend ourselves until we..wake up.

..do you think this is because of the lady boss met earlier?

*Capo pauses.*

..possibly.. it’s kinda strange..

[hiamd3adagain]

"? What lady? "

*The girl tilts her head

" do you mean The Sea Bunny lady? "

[achancewithchance]

Yes! Her! We think she’s the reason this is happening- we don’t know why…but we know that this all kinda feels strange..!

Do you know her by chance?

*Soldier asks, crossing his arms.*

[hiamd3adagain]

" oh! Yeah! She's basically me but a sea bunny.. er no..Uhm... "

*She Scratches her head again. Habit.

" Now I know why your here! don't worry. You'll all Be awake!....eventually. hope your boss doesn't mind you guys sleepin like you guys are dead..,"

[achancewithchance]

..oh! That’s a…relief..but uhh…how long does this take? I don’t wanna be here for long! We need to get back to boss!

*Contractee begins to freak out, soldier putting his hand on his shoulder to calm him.*

..easy there bud. Trust her. We’ll be fine.

Excuse him… he has attachment issues to boss..

If you don’t mind me askin’, how did you go from being a regular…robloxian to being a..sea bunny..?

*Consigliere watches her curiously, observing her body language. The boys were even more confused now.*

[hiamd3adagain]

((Lore....))

" W- well....It's a long story..., b-but I died By someone Pushing a Bucket of hot water on my face and head and I died and became..her...We..Both have our own consciousness sometimes and...it hurts..? I-i don't really know how to explain it.. "

*She shrugged

" o-oh! and I haven't... introduced myself I-i am.. Livian "

[achancewithchance]

..thats..brutal….! Even further than I would go..

..so you two are like alter egos..?

*The boys pause for a moment. Contractee suddenly speaks up.*

..wait- so you’re like, a ghost, or somethin’..?

*Contractee asks, before shaking his head.*

..this is all a nightmare I can’t wake up from…isn’t it..?

Nope! Also don’t be a drama queen! We’ll be fine with Liv!

*Soldier flicks Contractees hat.*

Nice to meet you..livian! Im Lorenzo, thats Stefano, our little brother.

*Consigliere points at Contractee, who looked like he was having a crisis. He then pointed to soldier.*

Thats Rico.

*He then pointed to Caporegime.*

And thats Fernando. He’s our oldest.

..hi..again..

[hiamd3adagain]

" Nice to know all your names... "

*Livian Smiles

" Funny enough...Our or well...in her universe...You guys are there as well..and boss..She's Your guys Intelligence. she's the one who finds people in debt, etc,...Its weird to share a conscious with her... "

[achancewithchance]

..oh! Eh- excuse me for a moment..

*Lorenzo clapped his hands together.*

Boys! Listen up!

*The three men stop what they were doing, listening to Lorenzo.*

I think- I think I know whats happening….partly… We’re in some dream world, and this kind lady is one of us. Just from another universe. She is the same as the sea bunny lady. Dont be too wary or unwelcoming.

*Lorenzo looked back at Livian.*

Early you told boss somethin’ about bein’ hunted by him and presumably us in your universe…eh.. Whats that about…? You owe us somethin’ or did you rat the family out to the feds?

[hiamd3adagain]

" No...Uhm... It's..it's because of A Toxic Conman we were originally gonna deal with...his name's Leon..and He well...To put in better words. Brainwashed you all. And Since Vinny stays At The HQ to monitor you all...she's... basically the only one left to get you all back soo.. "

*Livian looked away awkwardly

" Yeah we're kinda On Rope here... "

[achancewithchance]

…oh..! Thats- uhh-

..Unexpected..

Yeah! What he said!

So is there any way to help her..? When we wake up of course. Because if she can’t go back, we’ll welcome her into our..family!

..do you really think that’s a good idea Lorenzo? We’re trapped in this weird limbo! It would be a worse fate than death for her. We don’t need the spectre claiming another…plus she doesn’t deserve to spend eternity here..

*Soldier crosses his arms.*

We should act fast, but we gotta figure out how to wake up first.

Oh? Whats your idea, genius?

*Contractee huffed, overloaded, it seems.*

[hiamd3adagain]

" I mean....Fall Off a tall building that could work...People wake up from falling yeah? "

*Livian paused before continuing

" theres Monkey bars that's tall enough. It's a Dream here anything can happen without fault. "

[achancewithchance]

So could I commit arson-?!

No- bad contractee.

..aw.

I’m tired of waiting on you three.

*Capo goes and jumps off a nearby ledge. The three pause.*

Eh….i guess we’ll go now too.. thanks for being kind and helpful with us!

[hiamd3adagain]

" Pleasure. "

*Livian nodded before she Turned away and sat back on the grass. Waiting for this moment to end.

*You All wake up.

*Back in the Living Room like you never left or even met Livian

*Vinny seemed asleep still. Maybe...Maybe tell boss about What's happening with Vinny and problem?

[achancewithchance]

*The four boys lay on the floor, disoriented.*

Owwwwwwwww. I have a terrible headache, Lorenzo.

..Nph- I think we all do..

*Contractee jumps up.*

We gotta find boss and make sure he’s alright!!

Wait Stef-

*Stefano runs through the house, looking for mafioso, panicking throughout it. Chance comes into the room Stefano was in.*

Ohhh. You’re awake now. Sup-

*Contractee grabs Chance by the shoulders.*

WHERES BOSS?

Hey! Chill! He’s outside! Like usual.

*Contractee let’s go and quickly rushes outside.*

Pa! We missed ya!!

Nph! Hey, Stefano.

*Mafioso pats his head.*

*The others continue to try and regain their bearings, still sitting beside Vinny.*

Should we try to wake her..?

…yeah…

*Capo gently flicks her nose, trying to wake her.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

*Mafioso slept peacefully in his bed with the loafling. Who wasn’t able to sleep much due to still adjusting to their new home. The loafling stirred in the middle of the night, looking around. It noticed that Mafioso left his door cracked open, a small glimmer of light coming in. The loafling limped to the edge of the bed and hopped off, limping towards the door. It followed its nose to the kitchen, which was empty. The entire house was asleep, and the little loafling was on a mission to eat as much as it could. It approached the fridge and began trying to open it, only managing to successfully open it after a few noisy attempts. Once opened, it began to look over the options, chirping happily. Mafioso begins to stir, having overheard some noise. He feels around for the loafling, still half asleep, until he can’t feel anything on the bed. He immediately shoots up, panicked.*

..eh..?! Loafling?!

-Eating noises could be heard from the kitchen-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looked around his bedroom quickly, panicked, before hearing what sounded like munching noises. He immediately leaves his room and goes into the kitchen. He jolts into the doorway, alert. His expression immediately changes when he sees the loafling munching on food, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal as he approached, standing over the tiny loafling.*

…There you are..you scared me..

*Mafioso kneels down, watching the loafling continue to munch. He turns to the open fridge door, seeing that half of the food was gone.*

…you have a big appetite, ‘ey…? I can’t…even be mad…

*He sighed, closing the fridge.*

I don’t even know how something so little could possibly open the door, but….good…job…maybe you’re meant to be ‘part of da family after all.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tilted its head to the side, not knowing what he meant-

[achancewithchance]

..eh..fugget about what I said… Didnt mean t’a get all sappy with yous. Anyway. Don’t run off again. I’ll keep da door shut next time just in case.

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling.*

You…gave me a scare, y’know?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles his hand-

[achancewithchance]

*Maf grins and pats the loafling.*

Sweet thing.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-Its tails wags, the loafling looks around for Chance-

[achancewithchance]

…You wanna see Chance…?

*Mafioso paused. He was slightly surprised.*

..alright..I’ll take ya to see him.

*Mafioso picked the loafling up and carried it to Chance’s room, quietly walking in and setting the loafling on the bed.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling limped right up to Chance and stared at him as he slept-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance groaned, stirring slightly. He opens his eyes, immediately seeing the loafling.*

…oh…hey…how’d you get in here..?

*Chance looks up, seeing Mafioso standing over them and the loafling tiredly.*

…..it wanted you…

..really..? Awe…I’m flattered.

*Chance pats the loafling tiredly, obviously still half asleep.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips before pouncing on Chance and licking his face happily-

[achancewithchance]

..eh- woah-!

*Chance falls back into the bed, still processing what was happening to them. Mafioso grinned slightly and watched, amused by the loaflings licking and Chances reaction.*

..seems it likes ya.

Y-Yeah! Seems so!

*Chance lays back and allows the loafling to lick, patting it gently, smiling. He seemed to be more awake now.*

..a-aw..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yipped excitedly, as it was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast with Chance, little did he know that half of the food in the fridge was gone-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grunts and sits up, trying to get the loafling off of him.*

Nph- hey! This..is cute and all…but I need to get up!! Maf! Help!!

*Mafioso watched as Chance tried prying the loafling off their face.*

C’mon, pucchiac, it’s so simple.

*Mafioso gently grabs the loafling and removes it from Chance’s face, which was covered in saliva from the loaflings constant licking. Chance grimaced a bit, immediately rushing to wipe their face with their sleeve.*

..thanks maf.. It seems very…happy..

*Mafioso holds the loafling gently, despite its constant flailing and chirping.*

..you think it’s hungry..?

No. It just ate. A lot too.

*The loafling perks up at the mention of food and begins flailing and chirping more.*

..but it seems hungry..here, give it to me.

..

*Mafioso hesitantly gives the loafling to Chance.*

Let’s get ya some food.

*Chance walks into the kitchen, setting the loafling on the floor. Mafioso stands beside the two, watching Chance open the fridge.*

…what….?

*Chance stares at the near empty fridge. There was nothing left aside from stuff the loafling didnt like.*

….WHAT THE FU-

Inside voice!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at the half empty fridge before looking up at Chance-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance looks down at the loafling in a mix of awe, shock and confusion.*

You’re telling me, this little thing ate nearly our entire stock of food?!

..yeah- I don’t know how but it did..somehow.. It has quite the appetite.

*Mafioso smiles fondly, kneeling to pick the loafling up again.*

..you let it eat our entire stock?!

..no! It somehow got out when I was sleepin’! You seriously think I’d feed this creature our entire food supply?!

*Chance groaned. He looked over at the loafling, their expression changing to one of mild anger.*

You- You ate practically all the food stuff, and-

*Chance sighs, their gaze softening at the loaflings innocent expression.*

…I can’t be mad… but I am disappointed though.. now we have to go shopping..this early into the morning.. you’re off the hook for now..if you do this again though, you’re sleeping on the floor…or couch..I’m not cruel like maf.

..I heard that..

I know. Anyway, we’re taking you with us.

*Chance begins to walk towards the door tiredly, going to grab their keys.*

..c’mon, we got some shopping to do.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling quickly limped over to the front door, occasionally falling a few times due to the shortened nub it had, but it didn’t seem to mind-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance opened the door, walking out to the car with Mafioso and the loafling limping by his side. Once they approached the car, he picks it up and places it inside.*

There we go. Get cozy.

*Two get in the car and start their journey to a nearby market.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around in the car seat a bit before getting comfortable-

[achancewithchance]

*After a bit they arrive at the market. Chance grabs a nearby cart and places the loafling in it.*

There. Front row view.

*He began to push the cart while mafioso walked beside them into the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around the store in awe-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance continued to push the cart around the store, grabbing different foods. Chance parked the cart by the shelf, patting the loafling.*

Me and Maf are gonna look at something real quick. Don’t worry.

*The two walked down the aisle and began to look for what they needed, leaving the loafling alone in the cart. The loafling looked around, suddenly becoming more aware of its surroundings. The loafling let out a scared chirp, becoming overwhelmed by noise.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It proceeded to let out more distressed yips and chirps as it defecated itself out of pure fear-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looks over at the cart after hearing the loud yips. He pauses when he saw the mess on the floor.*

..oh..! You okay??

*He approaches the cart and sighs.*

Too noisy in here for you huh? I’ll..find a way to clean this mess…

*Mafioso tells Chance to go get something to calm the loafling, and the two leave the isle, leaving mafioso to clean the mess.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whines tries to get out of the cart-

[achancewithchance]

Woah- hold on!

*Chance parks the cart and takes the flailing loafling out, setting it down.*

Try not to wander off, okay? Or…do what you just did..again.. we need no more messes.

*He sighed and watched the loafling roam up and down the aisle.*

Cutie.

*Chance grabbed a pack of some things for the family and placed them into the cart, grabbing the loafling and putting it in as well. He notices its little beans.*

Awww!!!!

*He gently squishes one of the beans, smiling.*

I didn’t know you had beans!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It randomly poked its little tongue out at him-

[achancewithchance]

Aw!!! Squishy!

*He playfully booped its nose and continued to squish its beans. Mafioso approaches the two after looking for them.*

What are you- aww.

*Mafioso grins, seeing the loaflings tongue out and bean paws. Mafioso begins to squish too, fascinated by the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling had calmed down, it stared at the people passing by-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso gently stopped squishing it. He turned to Chance.*

Here, why don’t we swap shifts? I’ll stay with the lil’ thing, ‘n you can go get sum of da stuff ya need.

Aww..but I wanted to push it around-

Go, Chance.

…fine…..

*Chance leaves the isle, leaving the loafling and mafioso alone. He continued to squish the loaflings beans before stopping.*

Alright, I need to get some spices while I’m already over here. I’ll be just right there, don’t you worry.

*Mafioso walked down the aisle a bit to find the spices, browsing them, leaving the loafling alone again, though maf was nearby.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It noticed a little bit of dirt on its paw and licked itself clean-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso returns after a bit with the spices, noticing it licking itself.*

Aw. Cute.

*He placed the spices in the cart.*

Poor thing. You’ve seemed to have gotten dirty since we’ve been in here. I’ll have one of my men clean ya up when we’re back home alright?

*He began to push the cart, taking a crumpled list out of his pocket and checking things off.*

We just need sum bread left.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around. Once it spotted the bread, it yipped to get Mafioso’s attention-

[achancewithchance]

..?

*Mafioso looked down, then back up, spotting the bread.*

Aw, thank you. You’re such a good little scout. Maybe I’ll reward ya with candy?

*He pats the loafling as he places the bread in the cart.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tries to nibble on the bread-

[achancewithchance]

Hey- no. Bad. I said I’ll get yous some candy upfront. No nibbling though, okay?

*Mafioso sighed and pushed the cart towards the check-out.*

We’ll wait for Chance here..if his slow ass gets here fast enough.

*The two wait by the check-out, waiting for Chance to return. Soon, they approach the cart.*

I was looking for you two! Where have you been??

Getting our stuff. Where have you been, Mr. ‘It takes me ten years just to find some pickles’?

I was looking for the cereal, old man. Now let’s go. It’s too crowded in here.

*Chance pats the loafling and waits in line with mafioso and it, bored of the slow pace in the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling lets out a tiny yawn-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. What? You tired?

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling.*

Don’t worry, we’ll be outta dis hellhole soon. Chance is payin’ this time.

What- we agreed you would- fine…I’ll pay this time.

*Chance walks up to the check-out counter and begins the payment process while maf begins loading stuff onto the conveyor. The loafling watches everything around it tiredly.*

Got everything.

*Maf leans against the cart, watching Chance put the bags in the cart. Soon after he begins to push it outside.*

Wasn’t so bad, was it, lil’ thing?

*Chance pats the loafling. Soon after, they arrive at their car. Chance gently picks the loafling up and places it back into the large seat, before going to help maf put the groceries and cart away.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around clearly not liking being dirty-

[achancewithchance]

*The two finish putting the groceries away and get back into the car.*

We’ll be home soon. Don’t worry.

*Chance reassured, holding the loafling in the front so it could see outside. Mafioso began the drive home.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling pressed its little face against the window-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grinned.*

Awee!!!!! You want the window down?!

*He rolled the window down, allowing the loafling to stick its head out.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stuck its head out the window and yipped-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon the three arrived home. Chance got out of the car, alongside maf. They enter the home and set the loafling down.*

I’ll ask maf to get one of his boys to bathe you. I gotta bring our groceries in alright?

*Chance went back out and mafioso came in after a minute.*

Chance told me you needed a bath, so I’ll get one of my boys to do it since I’ll be busy.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling waited in the living room-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso called his goon, Caporegime into the room. Caporegime looked down at the loafling, his face remaining blank.*

Give it a quick bath. Bubbles too.

Alright, boss.

*Caporegime takes the loafling from him, holding it firmly in his grasp. He walks to the bathroom with the loafling, setting it down gently in the sink before turning the bath water on for the tub.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sat in the tub and patiently waited to be washed-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime began to wash the loafling, silently and efficiently. He occasionally made sure the loafling was cozy as he continued to bathe it.

We should be done soon.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling made it easier for him to wash its little body-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime begins to clean the loaflings beans, gently making sure to get the clean.*

..You’re doing good..

*He gently patted the loaflings head while continuing to wash.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirped as its beans were quite ticklish-

[achancewithchance]

..sorry..

*Caporegime gently began to wash, watching the loafling chirp.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling didn’t seem to mind, its tail wagged happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aww..

*Caporegime continued to wash the loafling in warm water, occasionally giving it headpats or speaking to it.*

..You should be all done…you don’t smell..bad anymore..

*He picked the loafling up and wrapped it in a towel, holding it like a newborn baby against him as he walked out with it.*

Boss wanted me to put you in his bedroom.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to like Caporegime since he was nice-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime opens the door and puts it on the bed.*

There you go…keep the towel on though. Boss doesn’t you to get his bed wet.

*He pats the loafling and goes to guard the door from the outside.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling doesn’t really know what to do now, so it just stays on the bed-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon mafioso comes inside, sitting by the loafling.*

You smell better already. He did really good with ya.

*He picks the loafling up and holds it gently.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It licked Mafioso’s face affectionately-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and pats its head.*

Awwwwww. I love you too.

*He kisses its forehead and grins.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips before stretching-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. You tired or just regularly stretchin’?

*Mafioso gently pats it.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sneezes-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling affectionately.*

Excuse you.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling boops him with its nub out of curiosity-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso pauses, before grinning.*

Awww! Gettin’ bold huh?

*Mafioso gently boops the loafling back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps before trying to climb on him-

[achancewithchance]

Huh- woah!

*Mafioso lets it climb him, grabbing its side to keep it from falling off.*

Careful now!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling successfully climbed on top of him-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. Careful now.

*Mafioso grins, sitting still for the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It nuzzles him happily with its wet little nose-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*He nuzzles back happily, feeling its fluffiness.*

Like a fluffy pillow.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling just kinda rests there on him-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso leans back and sighs.*

Cozy up there? I plan on watching tv for a bit. Maybe I’ll even get chance to come watch.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips quietly-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and begins to watch tv with the loafling on his head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling watches Tv, occasionally “making biscuits” on Mafioso’s head-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. What’re ya doin’ up there?

*Mafioso looked up at the loafling.*

That kinda tickles. Be careful alright?

*Mafioso reached up and gently pats the loaflings back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to be uninterested by the tv as it was doing its own thing-

[achancewithchance]

*The two watched the movie in silence, until Chance comes in.*

Aww. Would ya look at that! Little bonding going on huh?

Shush. It’s just resting..I think..yeah..

Can I join?

*Chance grinned smugly and sat by Maf, patting the loafling on his head.*

..fine…just don’t be annoyin’.

Thanks Maf!

*Chance watched tv, but was more focused on the loafling.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling continued to “make biscuits” on Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

..it seems to like my head..

No kidding. Enjoying the view up there?

*Chance watched curiously while the loafling made its biscuits in Mafiosos hair.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at Chance before chirping-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance stared in disbelief.*

Awwwww!!! Look maf! It’s chirping!

*He pats the loafling.*

..yeah..seems happy…..Just make sure it don’t mess my hair up…

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whined, it wanted to be held-

[achancewithchance]

Heh. You want ol’ Chancey to hold ya-?

It’s gettin’ kinda heavy. Maybe it wants to spend some time in your lap?

*Chance reaches up and grabs the loafling, holding it gently.*

There we are. Hi, little thing.

*Chance holds it in their hands gently, smiling and occasionally kissing its head.*

It’s so soft maf! Feel.

*Chance rubs the loaflings fluffy back against Mafioso’s cheek teasingly. Mafioso grunts.*

Hey! Knock it off!

Not until you admit it’s fluffy!

I’ve already done this- but fine! I’ll admit, it’s really really fluffy and soft! Now stop!!!!

*Chance stops, holding the loafling in their lap.*

See? Wasn’t so hard. It’s happy now.

*Chance pats the loaflings fluffy back, mafioso occasionally petting too.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps happily, the loafling closes its eyes as it gets showered in affection-

[achancewithchance]

Who’s a good loafling?

*Chance scratches the top of their head affectionately, mafioso moving to rub its fluffy stomach.*

Aww!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling practically melts at their touch-

[achancewithchance]

Seems someone’s enjoying all this attention huh?

*Chance kisses the loaflings forehead before booping it.*

Lemme have a turn!

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling, showering it in affection with Chance.i

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps again, but it’s more hight pitched-

[achancewithchance]

Aww! I think it’s happy!

No kidding!

*The two continue pampering the loafling happily. Chance places it in their lap and pats its head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling licks them both-

[achancewithchance]

Aw- eh…saliva..ew

Aww don’t be a scaredy cat Chance. It’s just a little saliva, ya big germaphobe!

*Mafioso pats the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It keeps licking them, clearly happy-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso giggles while Chance frowned, slightly grossed out. He was always a germaphobe when it came to being licked.*

O-Okay! We love you too! Just- Just no more licking!

*Chance grimaced. His words were lighthearted though. He enjoyed the affection from the loafling. Maf grins and flicks the loaflings nose.*

I love you, ya little gremlin.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling stopped and looked around, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the room, must be Mafioso’s goons-

[achancewithchance]

..huh?

*Mafioso looked up at the door, seeing his boys come in, standing in formation, aside from Contractee and Soldier.*

Im tellin’ ya Rico, I get dibs on da loafling!

Nuh-uh. I get to pet it first!

…can you two stop..? It’s getting annoying.

*Capo snapped, swatting Contractee on the back of his neck.*

Ow! You cazzo!

*Contractee begins to scuffle with Capo while Consigliere just watched.*

*Soldier immediately rushes up to the loafling, squishing its cheek. Maf looked down at the loafling as soldier continued to squish and pet.*

So…soft! Boys, come feel!

*The boys stop their fighting and immediately approach, beginning to pet it.*

Aww!

..woah..

Soft one.

Reminds me of one of your bunnies, back in the overworld, pops.

..heh..yeah..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It recognised Caporegime and chirped-

[achancewithchance]

..aww. Hi again.

*Capo pats the loafling affectionately. The others look jealous that it seemed to recognize him instead of them.*

Lemme pet!

*Contractee pushes him to the side, patting the loafling.*

Easy boys.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling proceeded to show them its little beans-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Everyone shouts in unison. The loafling had them wrapped around its finger at the moment.

*Soldier feels on its beans.*

..squishy.

Here, set it down so we can watch it roam.

*Contractee/Stefano suggested. Consigliere/Lorenzo picked the loafing up and sat it in the floor, allowing it to roam. The boys followed behind it, watching its every move.*

I wonder what it’ll do!

*Stefano exclaimed, following it a bit more. Soldier/Rico followed too closely, accidentally stepping on its tail with his boot.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It let out a yelp and whined in pain-

[achancewithchance]

Oh!

*everyone stopped their admiring and looked over at Rico.*

..eh…sorry!!! I didn’t mean too! It was just too small!

It could’ve gotten hurt! Be more careful next time ya brute!

I didn’t mean it, guys!! I just mistepped. It’s like accidentally stepping on a kitten!! I’m sorry, alright!

I’m tellin’ boss!

..Oh god-

Pops, Rico stepped on da loafling!!

*Chance snickered.*

Stefanos a tattletale huh? I thought you guys hated having rats in the mob?

Shut it. He’s different.

*Maf sighed, waving his hands around.*

Look, Stefano, Rico didnt mean it. It was an accident he apologized for. Now if he did it again than that would be different because then I’d be upset with how clumsy he is, which is usually-

*Maf pauses when he hears the loafling cry out in pain.*

…RICO.

Ehh…sorry loafling….Clumsy me…. Bye-

*Soldier ran out, Mafioso immediately pursuing.*

CMERE SO I CAN TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU LITTLE SHIT-

*The others stay in silence in Mafioso’s bedroom.*

..did that just happen..?

….yeah..it’s common for boss to need to teach soldier a lesson…constantly.. he’s more rebellious and clumsy than contractee. Thats saying something.

Shut the fu-

Language.

*Lorenzo swats Stefano. Fernando just stares into the void like a machine until he hears the loafling chirping. It seemed to want to follow mafioso and rico. Fernando approached and picked it up, holding it.*

…I’m taking it with me.

*Fernando walked out, going to search for mafioso and rico.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling sniffed the air, looking for Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

…

*Capo continued to look for Maf and Soldier, spotting maf in the living room.*

OWW-! I learned my lesson!!!!!!

Boss!

*Capo sat the loafling down and stood behind boss, watching. Soldier wasn’t bleeding or too roughed up, just in enough pain to be able to learn his lesson.*

Be careful next time when dealing with small creatures! You should’ve know better after what happened with one of my bunnies! You’re too clumsy!

Ow-! I’m sorry!

*The loafling chirped, mafioso turning his attention to it.*

Aww. Hi again.

*Maf gently patted the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It limped over to Soldier and sniffed him-

[achancewithchance]

..Nph..hi again.

*Soldier pats the loafling, mafioso watching like a hawk.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aw. It knows I learned my lesson. Don’t need to hit me anymore boss.

..fine..just be more careful alright?

I promise.

*Soldier groans and sits up, picking thr loafling up.*

Take it back to the bedroom. I’ll be back with some snacks for it.

You got it boss.

*Soldier takes tje loafling back to the bedroom.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

*Mafioso slept peacefully in his bed with the loafling. Who wasn’t able to sleep much due to still adjusting to their new home. The loafling stirred in the middle of the night, looking around. It noticed that Mafioso left his door cracked open, a small glimmer of light coming in. The loafling limped to the edge of the bed and hopped off, limping towards the door. It followed its nose to the kitchen, which was empty. The entire house was asleep, and the little loafling was on a mission to eat as much as it could. It approached the fridge and began trying to open it, only managing to successfully open it after a few noisy attempts. Once opened, it began to look over the options, chirping happily. Mafioso begins to stir, having overheard some noise. He feels around for the loafling, still half asleep, until he can’t feel anything on the bed. He immediately shoots up, panicked.*

..eh..?! Loafling?!

-Eating noises could be heard from the kitchen-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looked around his bedroom quickly, panicked, before hearing what sounded like munching noises. He immediately leaves his room and goes into the kitchen. He jolts into the doorway, alert. His expression immediately changes when he sees the loafling munching on food, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal as he approached, standing over the tiny loafling.*

…There you are..you scared me..

*Mafioso kneels down, watching the loafling continue to munch. He turns to the open fridge door, seeing that half of the food was gone.*

…you have a big appetite, ‘ey…? I can’t…even be mad…

*He sighed, closing the fridge.*

I don’t even know how something so little could possibly open the door, but….good…job…maybe you’re meant to be ‘part of da family after all.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tilted its head to the side, not knowing what he meant-

[achancewithchance]

..eh..fugget about what I said… Didnt mean t’a get all sappy with yous. Anyway. Don’t run off again. I’ll keep da door shut next time just in case.

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling.*

You…gave me a scare, y’know?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles his hand-

[achancewithchance]

*Maf grins and pats the loafling.*

Sweet thing.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-Its tails wags, the loafling looks around for Chance-

[achancewithchance]

…You wanna see Chance…?

*Mafioso paused. He was slightly surprised.*

..alright..I’ll take ya to see him.

*Mafioso picked the loafling up and carried it to Chance’s room, quietly walking in and setting the loafling on the bed.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling limped right up to Chance and stared at him as he slept-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance groaned, stirring slightly. He opens his eyes, immediately seeing the loafling.*

…oh…hey…how’d you get in here..?

*Chance looks up, seeing Mafioso standing over them and the loafling tiredly.*

…..it wanted you…

..really..? Awe…I’m flattered.

*Chance pats the loafling tiredly, obviously still half asleep.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips before pouncing on Chance and licking his face happily-

[achancewithchance]

..eh- woah-!

*Chance falls back into the bed, still processing what was happening to them. Mafioso grinned slightly and watched, amused by the loaflings licking and Chances reaction.*

..seems it likes ya.

Y-Yeah! Seems so!

*Chance lays back and allows the loafling to lick, patting it gently, smiling. He seemed to be more awake now.*

..a-aw..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yipped excitedly, as it was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast with Chance, little did he know that half of the food in the fridge was gone-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grunts and sits up, trying to get the loafling off of him.*

Nph- hey! This..is cute and all…but I need to get up!! Maf! Help!!

*Mafioso watched as Chance tried prying the loafling off their face.*

C’mon, pucchiac, it’s so simple.

*Mafioso gently grabs the loafling and removes it from Chance’s face, which was covered in saliva from the loaflings constant licking. Chance grimaced a bit, immediately rushing to wipe their face with their sleeve.*

..thanks maf.. It seems very…happy..

*Mafioso holds the loafling gently, despite its constant flailing and chirping.*

..you think it’s hungry..?

No. It just ate. A lot too.

*The loafling perks up at the mention of food and begins flailing and chirping more.*

..but it seems hungry..here, give it to me.

..

*Mafioso hesitantly gives the loafling to Chance.*

Let’s get ya some food.

*Chance walks into the kitchen, setting the loafling on the floor. Mafioso stands beside the two, watching Chance open the fridge.*

…what….?

*Chance stares at the near empty fridge. There was nothing left aside from stuff the loafling didnt like.*

….WHAT THE FU-

Inside voice!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at the half empty fridge before looking up at Chance-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance looks down at the loafling in a mix of awe, shock and confusion.*

You’re telling me, this little thing ate nearly our entire stock of food?!

..yeah- I don’t know how but it did..somehow.. It has quite the appetite.

*Mafioso smiles fondly, kneeling to pick the loafling up again.*

..you let it eat our entire stock?!

..no! It somehow got out when I was sleepin’! You seriously think I’d feed this creature our entire food supply?!

*Chance groaned. He looked over at the loafling, their expression changing to one of mild anger.*

You- You ate practically all the food stuff, and-

*Chance sighs, their gaze softening at the loaflings innocent expression.*

…I can’t be mad… but I am disappointed though.. now we have to go shopping..this early into the morning.. you’re off the hook for now..if you do this again though, you’re sleeping on the floor…or couch..I’m not cruel like maf.

..I heard that..

I know. Anyway, we’re taking you with us.

*Chance begins to walk towards the door tiredly, going to grab their keys.*

..c’mon, we got some shopping to do.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling quickly limped over to the front door, occasionally falling a few times due to the shortened nub it had, but it didn’t seem to mind-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance opened the door, walking out to the car with Mafioso and the loafling limping by his side. Once they approached the car, he picks it up and places it inside.*

There we go. Get cozy.

*Two get in the car and start their journey to a nearby market.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around in the car seat a bit before getting comfortable-

[achancewithchance]

*After a bit they arrive at the market. Chance grabs a nearby cart and places the loafling in it.*

There. Front row view.

*He began to push the cart while mafioso walked beside them into the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around the store in awe-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance continued to push the cart around the store, grabbing different foods. Chance parked the cart by the shelf, patting the loafling.*

Me and Maf are gonna look at something real quick. Don’t worry.

*The two walked down the aisle and began to look for what they needed, leaving the loafling alone in the cart. The loafling looked around, suddenly becoming more aware of its surroundings. The loafling let out a scared chirp, becoming overwhelmed by noise.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It proceeded to let out more distressed yips and chirps as it defecated itself out of pure fear-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looks over at the cart after hearing the loud yips. He pauses when he saw the mess on the floor.*

..oh..! You okay??

*He approaches the cart and sighs.*

Too noisy in here for you huh? I’ll..find a way to clean this mess…

*Mafioso tells Chance to go get something to calm the loafling, and the two leave the isle, leaving mafioso to clean the mess.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whines tries to get out of the cart-

[achancewithchance]

Woah- hold on!

*Chance parks the cart and takes the flailing loafling out, setting it down.*

Try not to wander off, okay? Or…do what you just did..again.. we need no more messes.

*He sighed and watched the loafling roam up and down the aisle.*

Cutie.

*Chance grabbed a pack of some things for the family and placed them into the cart, grabbing the loafling and putting it in as well. He notices its little beans.*

Awww!!!!

*He gently squishes one of the beans, smiling.*

I didn’t know you had beans!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It randomly poked its little tongue out at him-

[achancewithchance]

Aw!!! Squishy!

*He playfully booped its nose and continued to squish its beans. Mafioso approaches the two after looking for them.*

What are you- aww.

*Mafioso grins, seeing the loaflings tongue out and bean paws. Mafioso begins to squish too, fascinated by the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling had calmed down, it stared at the people passing by-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso gently stopped squishing it. He turned to Chance.*

Here, why don’t we swap shifts? I’ll stay with the lil’ thing, ‘n you can go get sum of da stuff ya need.

Aww..but I wanted to push it around-

Go, Chance.

…fine…..

*Chance leaves the isle, leaving the loafling and mafioso alone. He continued to squish the loaflings beans before stopping.*

Alright, I need to get some spices while I’m already over here. I’ll be just right there, don’t you worry.

*Mafioso walked down the aisle a bit to find the spices, browsing them, leaving the loafling alone again, though maf was nearby.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It noticed a little bit of dirt on its paw and licked itself clean-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso returns after a bit with the spices, noticing it licking itself.*

Aw. Cute.

*He placed the spices in the cart.*

Poor thing. You’ve seemed to have gotten dirty since we’ve been in here. I’ll have one of my men clean ya up when we’re back home alright?

*He began to push the cart, taking a crumpled list out of his pocket and checking things off.*

We just need sum bread left.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around. Once it spotted the bread, it yipped to get Mafioso’s attention-

[achancewithchance]

..?

*Mafioso looked down, then back up, spotting the bread.*

Aw, thank you. You’re such a good little scout. Maybe I’ll reward ya with candy?

*He pats the loafling as he places the bread in the cart.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tries to nibble on the bread-

[achancewithchance]

Hey- no. Bad. I said I’ll get yous some candy upfront. No nibbling though, okay?

*Mafioso sighed and pushed the cart towards the check-out.*

We’ll wait for Chance here..if his slow ass gets here fast enough.

*The two wait by the check-out, waiting for Chance to return. Soon, they approach the cart.*

I was looking for you two! Where have you been??

Getting our stuff. Where have you been, Mr. ‘It takes me ten years just to find some pickles’?

I was looking for the cereal, old man. Now let’s go. It’s too crowded in here.

*Chance pats the loafling and waits in line with mafioso and it, bored of the slow pace in the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling lets out a tiny yawn-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. What? You tired?

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling.*

Don’t worry, we’ll be outta dis hellhole soon. Chance is payin’ this time.

What- we agreed you would- fine…I’ll pay this time.

*Chance walks up to the check-out counter and begins the payment process while maf begins loading stuff onto the conveyor. The loafling watches everything around it tiredly.*

Got everything.

*Maf leans against the cart, watching Chance put the bags in the cart. Soon after he begins to push it outside.*

Wasn’t so bad, was it, lil’ thing?

*Chance pats the loafling. Soon after, they arrive at their car. Chance gently picks the loafling up and places it back into the large seat, before going to help maf put the groceries and cart away.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around clearly not liking being dirty-

[achancewithchance]

*The two finish putting the groceries away and get back into the car.*

We’ll be home soon. Don’t worry.

*Chance reassured, holding the loafling in the front so it could see outside. Mafioso began the drive home.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling pressed its little face against the window-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grinned.*

Awee!!!!! You want the window down?!

*He rolled the window down, allowing the loafling to stick its head out.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stuck its head out the window and yipped-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon the three arrived home. Chance got out of the car, alongside maf. They enter the home and set the loafling down.*

I’ll ask maf to get one of his boys to bathe you. I gotta bring our groceries in alright?

*Chance went back out and mafioso came in after a minute.*

Chance told me you needed a bath, so I’ll get one of my boys to do it since I’ll be busy.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling waited in the living room-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso called his goon, Caporegime into the room. Caporegime looked down at the loafling, his face remaining blank.*

Give it a quick bath. Bubbles too.

Alright, boss.

*Caporegime takes the loafling from him, holding it firmly in his grasp. He walks to the bathroom with the loafling, setting it down gently in the sink before turning the bath water on for the tub.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sat in the tub and patiently waited to be washed-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime began to wash the loafling, silently and efficiently. He occasionally made sure the loafling was cozy as he continued to bathe it.

We should be done soon.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling made it easier for him to wash its little body-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime begins to clean the loaflings beans, gently making sure to get the clean.*

..You’re doing good..

*He gently patted the loaflings head while continuing to wash.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirped as its beans were quite ticklish-

[achancewithchance]

..sorry..

*Caporegime gently began to wash, watching the loafling chirp.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling didn’t seem to mind, its tail wagged happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aww..

*Caporegime continued to wash the loafling in warm water, occasionally giving it headpats or speaking to it.*

..You should be all done…you don’t smell..bad anymore..

*He picked the loafling up and wrapped it in a towel, holding it like a newborn baby against him as he walked out with it.*

Boss wanted me to put you in his bedroom.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to like Caporegime since he was nice-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime opens the door and puts it on the bed.*

There you go…keep the towel on though. Boss doesn’t you to get his bed wet.

*He pats the loafling and goes to guard the door from the outside.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling doesn’t really know what to do now, so it just stays on the bed-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon mafioso comes inside, sitting by the loafling.*

You smell better already. He did really good with ya.

*He picks the loafling up and holds it gently.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It licked Mafioso’s face affectionately-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and pats its head.*

Awwwwww. I love you too.

*He kisses its forehead and grins.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips before stretching-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. You tired or just regularly stretchin’?

*Mafioso gently pats it.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sneezes-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling affectionately.*

Excuse you.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling boops him with its nub out of curiosity-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso pauses, before grinning.*

Awww! Gettin’ bold huh?

*Mafioso gently boops the loafling back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps before trying to climb on him-

[achancewithchance]

Huh- woah!

*Mafioso lets it climb him, grabbing its side to keep it from falling off.*

Careful now!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling successfully climbed on top of him-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. Careful now.

*Mafioso grins, sitting still for the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It nuzzles him happily with its wet little nose-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*He nuzzles back happily, feeling its fluffiness.*

Like a fluffy pillow.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling just kinda rests there on him-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso leans back and sighs.*

Cozy up there? I plan on watching tv for a bit. Maybe I’ll even get chance to come watch.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips quietly-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and begins to watch tv with the loafling on his head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling watches Tv, occasionally “making biscuits” on Mafioso’s head-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. What’re ya doin’ up there?

*Mafioso looked up at the loafling.*

That kinda tickles. Be careful alright?

*Mafioso reached up and gently pats the loaflings back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to be uninterested by the tv as it was doing its own thing-

[achancewithchance]

*The two watched the movie in silence, until Chance comes in.*

Aww. Would ya look at that! Little bonding going on huh?

Shush. It’s just resting..I think..yeah..

Can I join?

*Chance grinned smugly and sat by Maf, patting the loafling on his head.*

..fine…just don’t be annoyin’.

Thanks Maf!

*Chance watched tv, but was more focused on the loafling.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling continued to “make biscuits” on Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

..it seems to like my head..

No kidding. Enjoying the view up there?

*Chance watched curiously while the loafling made its biscuits in Mafiosos hair.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at Chance before chirping-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance stared in disbelief.*

Awwwww!!! Look maf! It’s chirping!

*He pats the loafling.*

..yeah..seems happy…..Just make sure it don’t mess my hair up…

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whined, it wanted to be held-

[achancewithchance]

Heh. You want ol’ Chancey to hold ya-?

It’s gettin’ kinda heavy. Maybe it wants to spend some time in your lap?

*Chance reaches up and grabs the loafling, holding it gently.*

There we are. Hi, little thing.

*Chance holds it in their hands gently, smiling and occasionally kissing its head.*

It’s so soft maf! Feel.

*Chance rubs the loaflings fluffy back against Mafioso’s cheek teasingly. Mafioso grunts.*

Hey! Knock it off!

Not until you admit it’s fluffy!

I’ve already done this- but fine! I’ll admit, it’s really really fluffy and soft! Now stop!!!!

*Chance stops, holding the loafling in their lap.*

See? Wasn’t so hard. It’s happy now.

*Chance pats the loaflings fluffy back, mafioso occasionally petting too.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps happily, the loafling closes its eyes as it gets showered in affection-

[achancewithchance]

Who’s a good loafling?

*Chance scratches the top of their head affectionately, mafioso moving to rub its fluffy stomach.*

Aww!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling practically melts at their touch-

[achancewithchance]

Seems someone’s enjoying all this attention huh?

*Chance kisses the loaflings forehead before booping it.*

Lemme have a turn!

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling, showering it in affection with Chance.i

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps again, but it’s more hight pitched-

[achancewithchance]

Aww! I think it’s happy!

No kidding!

*The two continue pampering the loafling happily. Chance places it in their lap and pats its head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling licks them both-

[achancewithchance]

Aw- eh…saliva..ew

Aww don’t be a scaredy cat Chance. It’s just a little saliva, ya big germaphobe!

*Mafioso pats the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It keeps licking them, clearly happy-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso giggles while Chance frowned, slightly grossed out. He was always a germaphobe when it came to being licked.*

O-Okay! We love you too! Just- Just no more licking!

*Chance grimaced. His words were lighthearted though. He enjoyed the affection from the loafling. Maf grins and flicks the loaflings nose.*

I love you, ya little gremlin.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling stopped and looked around, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the room, must be Mafioso’s goons-

[achancewithchance]

..huh?

*Mafioso looked up at the door, seeing his boys come in, standing in formation, aside from Contractee and Soldier.*

Im tellin’ ya Rico, I get dibs on da loafling!

Nuh-uh. I get to pet it first!

…can you two stop..? It’s getting annoying.

*Capo snapped, swatting Contractee on the back of his neck.*

Ow! You cazzo!

*Contractee begins to scuffle with Capo while Consigliere just watched.*

*Soldier immediately rushes up to the loafling, squishing its cheek. Maf looked down at the loafling as soldier continued to squish and pet.*

So…soft! Boys, come feel!

*The boys stop their fighting and immediately approach, beginning to pet it.*

Aww!

..woah..

Soft one.

Reminds me of one of your bunnies, back in the overworld, pops.

..heh..yeah..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It recognised Caporegime and chirped-

[achancewithchance]

..aww. Hi again.

*Capo pats the loafling affectionately. The others look jealous that it seemed to recognize him instead of them.*

Lemme pet!

*Contractee pushes him to the side, patting the loafling.*

Easy boys.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling proceeded to show them its little beans-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Everyone shouts in unison. The loafling had them wrapped around its finger at the moment.

*Soldier feels on its beans.*

..squishy.

Here, set it down so we can watch it roam.

*Contractee/Stefano suggested. Consigliere/Lorenzo picked the loafing up and sat it in the floor, allowing it to roam. The boys followed behind it, watching its every move.*

I wonder what it’ll do!

*Stefano exclaimed, following it a bit more. Soldier/Rico followed too closely, accidentally stepping on its tail with his boot.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It let out a yelp and whined in pain-

[achancewithchance]

Oh!

*everyone stopped their admiring and looked over at Rico.*

..eh…sorry!!! I didn’t mean too! It was just too small!

It could’ve gotten hurt! Be more careful next time ya brute!

I didn’t mean it, guys!! I just mistepped. It’s like accidentally stepping on a kitten!! I’m sorry, alright!

I’m tellin’ boss!

..Oh god-

Pops, Rico stepped on da loafling!!

*Chance snickered.*

Stefanos a tattletale huh? I thought you guys hated having rats in the mob?

Shut it. He’s different.

*Maf sighed, waving his hands around.*

Look, Stefano, Rico didnt mean it. It was an accident he apologized for. Now if he did it again than that would be different because then I’d be upset with how clumsy he is, which is usually-

*Maf pauses when he hears the loafling cry out in pain.*

…RICO.

Ehh…sorry loafling….Clumsy me…. Bye-

*Soldier ran out, Mafioso immediately pursuing.*

CMERE SO I CAN TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU LITTLE SHIT-

*The others stay in silence in Mafioso’s bedroom.*

..did that just happen..?

….yeah..it’s common for boss to need to teach soldier a lesson…constantly.. he’s more rebellious and clumsy than contractee. Thats saying something.

Shut the fu-

Language.

*Lorenzo swats Stefano. Fernando just stares into the void like a machine until he hears the loafling chirping. It seemed to want to follow mafioso and rico. Fernando approached and picked it up, holding it.*

…I’m taking it with me.

*Fernando walked out, going to search for mafioso and rico.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling sniffed the air, looking for Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

…

*Capo continued to look for Maf and Soldier, spotting maf in the living room.*

OWW-! I learned my lesson!!!!!!

Boss!

*Capo sat the loafling down and stood behind boss, watching. Soldier wasn’t bleeding or too roughed up, just in enough pain to be able to learn his lesson.*

Be careful next time when dealing with small creatures! You should’ve know better after what happened with one of my bunnies! You’re too clumsy!

Ow-! I’m sorry!

*The loafling chirped, mafioso turning his attention to it.*

Aww. Hi again.

*Maf gently patted the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It limped over to Soldier and sniffed him-

[achancewithchance]

..Nph..hi again.

*Soldier pats the loafling, mafioso watching like a hawk.*

[achancewithchance]

" BECAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO YOU BOSS. "

*continues to taze chance*

OKAY-OKAY, STOP TAZING CHANCE THOUGH THEYRE INNOCENT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT!

OWWWWWE STOPPPPP- MAF HELP-

*Chance flails violently as they continue to be mercilessly tased*

[hiamd3adagain]

" OKAY THANK GOD WE CAN AGREE ON SOMETHING FOR ONCE DIFFERENT UNIVERSE MAF "

* She Pulls her taser away from Chance.

"So You guys know you have different versions of yourselves correct???"

[achancewithchance]

*Chance scurries off while sobbing.*

..we do??! I didn’t know that… but I’m followin’ ya..

[hiamd3adagain]

" YEAH we DO. For example. In my Universe I am apart of your gang ! Anyway- more important part. IM GONNA GET KILLED AND I NEED HELP. "

[achancewithchance]

..and how do I know you’re not just pullin’ my leg..? For all I know, you could be the spectre messin’ with us again…

*Maf looks away, thinking over what she had just said.*

…Who do you think is after ya…?

[hiamd3adagain]

" YOU IN MY WORLD. YOU ARE GOING TO SLICE MY NECK T H I N. "

" BECAUSE you're like...I mean the gang- i- uh- auh "

* Vinny passes Out on the ground suddenly

[achancewithchance]

Woah-!

*Maf kneels down by her body, picking it up and examining it for a moment.*

Chance! Come help- fugget about it..

*Mafioso sighed and picked her up, carrying her inside while thinking over what happened. Once inside he placed her on the couch, chance stumbling into the living room.*

Eyyyyy- oh.. uh.. what happened to her?

..dunno..she just kinda…fainted.

..oh..!

[hiamd3adagain]

" Guhhh... "

* Yeah she's VERY passed out. And IS THAT BLEEDING ON HER FOREHEAD.

[achancewithchance]

Go get her some bandages!

*Chance nods and quickly leaves, returning with the bandages. He begins to wrap them around her forehead.*

She should be fine after a bit..let’s just let her be until she wakes back up.

…yeah..I’ll get my men to take watch.

*Maf calls his boys in, Capo, Consigliere, Contractee and soldier coming in.*

You four watch her until she wakes up. If any of yous sense her stirring then you come to me immediately, capiche?

Yeah boss!

*The four men guard the couch in silence.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*Vinny seems to be REALLY Unconscious. She's breathing yes. But at the same time said breathing seems to be REALLY Heavy. Like...not so normal Breathing.

*You all should Really Need to keep an Eye on her...,maybe try to do something?

[achancewithchance]

..is she okay?

*Contractee awkwardly piped up. Consigliere looked over at her body.*

..possibly. She’s really out of it though….

*Soldier pokes her curiously, while Caporegime occasionally felt for a pulse.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*And then suddenly. All of you Pass out.

*You all Wake up in a weird Dreamcore like Place. You are in Grass. you are laying in its Softness.

*Where are you? You don't know. It seems to be someone's Dream or something

[achancewithchance]

..woah…

*Consigliere sits up, groaning. Caporegime and the others look around silently.*

What is this place…? Are we dreaming..?

…dunno…we should look for a way out.

what about boss, Chance, and that girl?

We’ll find them.

*Caporegime reassures.*

We’re gonna look around for the exit like what soldier said.

*The four men begin their journey, walking around the liminal area.*

[hiamd3adagain]

*As you walk around. It's just endless grass, dandelions and...others, the place looked like it was colored by a child. Scribble like Clouds...

*Then you see a girl ahead.

*She seemed to be humming to herself. She also had a floating IV Beside her....weird...should you approach her?

[achancewithchance]

*The four men stood behind her, contemplating approaching her. Contractee nervously spoke up.*

U-Uhm…..excuse me!! You seem- uh…lost-

Zip it. You’re seriously tryna communicate with a ghost- or something otherworldly?!

‘Ey! Don’t be offensive she’s right there!

Boys! Will you chill? We got bigger fish to fry!

*Caporegime sighed. Soldier giggled, enjoying Cons and Contractee’s beef.*

…anyway… ‘xcuse me, miss…but we’re lost- do you know…a way out..

..this kinda seems sus.

It’s our only way, soldier. Let ‘regime talk.

*Caporegime approached the woman, noticing the notes coming from her.*

Sorry to interrupt your singing but we really need to find a way out..

[hiamd3adagain]

" ? "

*The girl turned around.

"..out? Uhh....."

*She awkwardly looked around

" I dunno uhm...I've been stuck here ever since I close my eyes at the hospital.. "

*she scratched her head, trying to figure out how to help out the boys

[achancewithchance]

Hospital-? What-

..I think this is a dream guys…

…ehh…definitely has to be.

….Are you dead, Ms?

Contractee!

*Consigliere scolds, sighing.*

…but he has a point. Are we dead..? This doesn’t scream reality..

[hiamd3adagain]

"Oh! Dead? No you guys aren't you're simply dreaming! Well err.... except me but yeah! You guys are just asleep."

*The Girl Shrugs, before tugging on her IV Stand.

"You'll have to wait it out sadly. Or not. I don't know how people leave here, some come an go but most of the time they die...."

[achancewithchance]

Oh..! That’s a….partial relief!

*Contractee sighs, looking over at the mysterious person.*

Wait- die..? How so? It seems pretty safe here…to be honest. Unless.. you mean by natural causes like dehydration or somethin’..?

Boys I think we’re cooked.

…no you idiot, we have our weapons! Well just wait it out and defend ourselves until we..wake up.

..do you think this is because of the lady boss met earlier?

*Capo pauses.*

..possibly.. it’s kinda strange..

[hiamd3adagain]

"? What lady? "

*The girl tilts her head

" do you mean The Sea Bunny lady? "

[achancewithchance]

Yes! Her! We think she’s the reason this is happening- we don’t know why…but we know that this all kinda feels strange..!

Do you know her by chance?

*Soldier asks, crossing his arms.*

[hiamd3adagain]

" oh! Yeah! She's basically me but a sea bunny.. er no..Uhm... "

*She Scratches her head again. Habit.

" Now I know why your here! don't worry. You'll all Be awake!....eventually. hope your boss doesn't mind you guys sleepin like you guys are dead..,"

[achancewithchance]

..oh! That’s a…relief..but uhh…how long does this take? I don’t wanna be here for long! We need to get back to boss!

*Contractee begins to freak out, soldier putting his hand on his shoulder to calm him.*

..easy there bud. Trust her. We’ll be fine.

Excuse him… he has attachment issues to boss..

If you don’t mind me askin’, how did you go from being a regular…robloxian to being a..sea bunny..?

*Consigliere watches her curiously, observing her body language. The boys were even more confused now.*

[hiamd3adagain]

((Lore....))

" W- well....It's a long story..., b-but I died By someone Pushing a Bucket of hot water on my face and head and I died and became..her...We..Both have our own consciousness sometimes and...it hurts..? I-i don't really know how to explain it.. "

*She shrugged

" o-oh! and I haven't... introduced myself I-i am.. Livian "

[achancewithchance]

..thats..brutal….! Even further than I would go..

..so you two are like alter egos..?

*The boys pause for a moment. Contractee suddenly speaks up.*

..wait- so you’re like, a ghost, or somethin’..?

*Contractee asks, before shaking his head.*

..this is all a nightmare I can’t wake up from…isn’t it..?

Nope! Also don’t be a drama queen! We’ll be fine with Liv!

*Soldier flicks Contractees hat.*

Nice to meet you..livian! Im Lorenzo, thats Stefano, our little brother.

*Consigliere points at Contractee, who looked like he was having a crisis. He then pointed to soldier.*

Thats Rico.

*He then pointed to Caporegime.*

And thats Fernando. He’s our oldest.

..hi..again..

[hiamd3adagain]

" Nice to know all your names... "

*Livian Smiles

" Funny enough...Our or well...in her universe...You guys are there as well..and boss..She's Your guys Intelligence. she's the one who finds people in debt, etc,...Its weird to share a conscious with her... "

[achancewithchance]

..oh! Eh- excuse me for a moment..

*Lorenzo clapped his hands together.*

Boys! Listen up!

*The three men stop what they were doing, listening to Lorenzo.*

I think- I think I know whats happening….partly… We’re in some dream world, and this kind lady is one of us. Just from another universe. She is the same as the sea bunny lady. Dont be too wary or unwelcoming.

*Lorenzo looked back at Livian.*

Early you told boss somethin’ about bein’ hunted by him and presumably us in your universe…eh.. Whats that about…? You owe us somethin’ or did you rat the family out to the feds?

[hiamd3adagain]

" No...Uhm... It's..it's because of A Toxic Conman we were originally gonna deal with...his name's Leon..and He well...To put in better words. Brainwashed you all. And Since Vinny stays At The HQ to monitor you all...she's... basically the only one left to get you all back soo.. "

*Livian looked away awkwardly

" Yeah we're kinda On Rope here... "

[achancewithchance]

…oh..! Thats- uhh-

..Unexpected..

Yeah! What he said!

So is there any way to help her..? When we wake up of course. Because if she can’t go back, we’ll welcome her into our..family!

..do you really think that’s a good idea Lorenzo? We’re trapped in this weird limbo! It would be a worse fate than death for her. We don’t need the spectre claiming another…plus she doesn’t deserve to spend eternity here..

*Soldier crosses his arms.*

We should act fast, but we gotta figure out how to wake up first.

Oh? Whats your idea, genius?

*Contractee huffed, overloaded, it seems.*

[hiamd3adagain]

" I mean....Fall Off a tall building that could work...People wake up from falling yeah? "

*Livian paused before continuing

" theres Monkey bars that's tall enough. It's a Dream here anything can happen without fault. "

[achancewithchance]

So could I commit arson-?!

No- bad contractee.

..aw.

I’m tired of waiting on you three.

*Capo goes and jumps off a nearby ledge. The three pause.*

Eh….i guess we’ll go now too.. thanks for being kind and helpful with us!

[achancewithchance]

" BECAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO YOU BOSS. "

*continues to taze chance*

OKAY-OKAY, STOP TAZING CHANCE THOUGH THEYRE INNOCENT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT!

OWWWWWE STOPPPPP- MAF HELP-

*Chance flails violently as they continue to be mercilessly tased*

[hiamd3adagain]

Oh? Whats your idea, genius?

*Contractee huffed, overloaded, it seems.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

*Mafioso slept peacefully in his bed with the loafling. Who wasn’t able to sleep much due to still adjusting to their new home. The loafling stirred in the middle of the night, looking around. It noticed that Mafioso left his door cracked open, a small glimmer of light coming in. The loafling limped to the edge of the bed and hopped off, limping towards the door. It followed its nose to the kitchen, which was empty. The entire house was asleep, and the little loafling was on a mission to eat as much as it could. It approached the fridge and began trying to open it, only managing to successfully open it after a few noisy attempts. Once opened, it began to look over the options, chirping happily. Mafioso begins to stir, having overheard some noise. He feels around for the loafling, still half asleep, until he can’t feel anything on the bed. He immediately shoots up, panicked.*

..eh..?! Loafling?!

-Eating noises could be heard from the kitchen-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looked around his bedroom quickly, panicked, before hearing what sounded like munching noises. He immediately leaves his room and goes into the kitchen. He jolts into the doorway, alert. His expression immediately changes when he sees the loafling munching on food, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal as he approached, standing over the tiny loafling.*

…There you are..you scared me..

*Mafioso kneels down, watching the loafling continue to munch. He turns to the open fridge door, seeing that half of the food was gone.*

…you have a big appetite, ‘ey…? I can’t…even be mad…

*He sighed, closing the fridge.*

I don’t even know how something so little could possibly open the door, but….good…job…maybe you’re meant to be ‘part of da family after all.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tilted its head to the side, not knowing what he meant-

[achancewithchance]

..eh..fugget about what I said… Didnt mean t’a get all sappy with yous. Anyway. Don’t run off again. I’ll keep da door shut next time just in case.

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling.*

You…gave me a scare, y’know?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles his hand-

[achancewithchance]

*Maf grins and pats the loafling.*

Sweet thing.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-Its tails wags, the loafling looks around for Chance-

[achancewithchance]

…You wanna see Chance…?

*Mafioso paused. He was slightly surprised.*

..alright..I’ll take ya to see him.

*Mafioso picked the loafling up and carried it to Chance’s room, quietly walking in and setting the loafling on the bed.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling limped right up to Chance and stared at him as he slept-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance groaned, stirring slightly. He opens his eyes, immediately seeing the loafling.*

…oh…hey…how’d you get in here..?

*Chance looks up, seeing Mafioso standing over them and the loafling tiredly.*

…..it wanted you…

..really..? Awe…I’m flattered.

*Chance pats the loafling tiredly, obviously still half asleep.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips before pouncing on Chance and licking his face happily-

[achancewithchance]

..eh- woah-!

*Chance falls back into the bed, still processing what was happening to them. Mafioso grinned slightly and watched, amused by the loaflings licking and Chances reaction.*

..seems it likes ya.

Y-Yeah! Seems so!

*Chance lays back and allows the loafling to lick, patting it gently, smiling. He seemed to be more awake now.*

..a-aw..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yipped excitedly, as it was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast with Chance, little did he know that half of the food in the fridge was gone-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grunts and sits up, trying to get the loafling off of him.*

Nph- hey! This..is cute and all…but I need to get up!! Maf! Help!!

*Mafioso watched as Chance tried prying the loafling off their face.*

C’mon, pucchiac, it’s so simple.

*Mafioso gently grabs the loafling and removes it from Chance’s face, which was covered in saliva from the loaflings constant licking. Chance grimaced a bit, immediately rushing to wipe their face with their sleeve.*

..thanks maf.. It seems very…happy..

*Mafioso holds the loafling gently, despite its constant flailing and chirping.*

..you think it’s hungry..?

No. It just ate. A lot too.

*The loafling perks up at the mention of food and begins flailing and chirping more.*

..but it seems hungry..here, give it to me.

..

*Mafioso hesitantly gives the loafling to Chance.*

Let’s get ya some food.

*Chance walks into the kitchen, setting the loafling on the floor. Mafioso stands beside the two, watching Chance open the fridge.*

…what….?

*Chance stares at the near empty fridge. There was nothing left aside from stuff the loafling didnt like.*

….WHAT THE FU-

Inside voice!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at the half empty fridge before looking up at Chance-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance looks down at the loafling in a mix of awe, shock and confusion.*

You’re telling me, this little thing ate nearly our entire stock of food?!

..yeah- I don’t know how but it did..somehow.. It has quite the appetite.

*Mafioso smiles fondly, kneeling to pick the loafling up again.*

..you let it eat our entire stock?!

..no! It somehow got out when I was sleepin’! You seriously think I’d feed this creature our entire food supply?!

*Chance groaned. He looked over at the loafling, their expression changing to one of mild anger.*

You- You ate practically all the food stuff, and-

*Chance sighs, their gaze softening at the loaflings innocent expression.*

…I can’t be mad… but I am disappointed though.. now we have to go shopping..this early into the morning.. you’re off the hook for now..if you do this again though, you’re sleeping on the floor…or couch..I’m not cruel like maf.

..I heard that..

I know. Anyway, we’re taking you with us.

*Chance begins to walk towards the door tiredly, going to grab their keys.*

..c’mon, we got some shopping to do.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling quickly limped over to the front door, occasionally falling a few times due to the shortened nub it had, but it didn’t seem to mind-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance opened the door, walking out to the car with Mafioso and the loafling limping by his side. Once they approached the car, he picks it up and places it inside.*

There we go. Get cozy.

*Two get in the car and start their journey to a nearby market.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around in the car seat a bit before getting comfortable-

[achancewithchance]

*After a bit they arrive at the market. Chance grabs a nearby cart and places the loafling in it.*

There. Front row view.

*He began to push the cart while mafioso walked beside them into the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around the store in awe-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance continued to push the cart around the store, grabbing different foods. Chance parked the cart by the shelf, patting the loafling.*

Me and Maf are gonna look at something real quick. Don’t worry.

*The two walked down the aisle and began to look for what they needed, leaving the loafling alone in the cart. The loafling looked around, suddenly becoming more aware of its surroundings. The loafling let out a scared chirp, becoming overwhelmed by noise.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It proceeded to let out more distressed yips and chirps as it defecated itself out of pure fear-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looks over at the cart after hearing the loud yips. He pauses when he saw the mess on the floor.*

..oh..! You okay??

*He approaches the cart and sighs.*

Too noisy in here for you huh? I’ll..find a way to clean this mess…

*Mafioso tells Chance to go get something to calm the loafling, and the two leave the isle, leaving mafioso to clean the mess.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whines tries to get out of the cart-

[achancewithchance]

Woah- hold on!

*Chance parks the cart and takes the flailing loafling out, setting it down.*

Try not to wander off, okay? Or…do what you just did..again.. we need no more messes.

*He sighed and watched the loafling roam up and down the aisle.*

Cutie.

*Chance grabbed a pack of some things for the family and placed them into the cart, grabbing the loafling and putting it in as well. He notices its little beans.*

Awww!!!!

*He gently squishes one of the beans, smiling.*

I didn’t know you had beans!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It randomly poked its little tongue out at him-

[achancewithchance]

Aw!!! Squishy!

*He playfully booped its nose and continued to squish its beans. Mafioso approaches the two after looking for them.*

What are you- aww.

*Mafioso grins, seeing the loaflings tongue out and bean paws. Mafioso begins to squish too, fascinated by the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling had calmed down, it stared at the people passing by-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso gently stopped squishing it. He turned to Chance.*

Here, why don’t we swap shifts? I’ll stay with the lil’ thing, ‘n you can go get sum of da stuff ya need.

Aww..but I wanted to push it around-

Go, Chance.

…fine…..

*Chance leaves the isle, leaving the loafling and mafioso alone. He continued to squish the loaflings beans before stopping.*

Alright, I need to get some spices while I’m already over here. I’ll be just right there, don’t you worry.

*Mafioso walked down the aisle a bit to find the spices, browsing them, leaving the loafling alone again, though maf was nearby.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It noticed a little bit of dirt on its paw and licked itself clean-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso returns after a bit with the spices, noticing it licking itself.*

Aw. Cute.

*He placed the spices in the cart.*

Poor thing. You’ve seemed to have gotten dirty since we’ve been in here. I’ll have one of my men clean ya up when we’re back home alright?

*He began to push the cart, taking a crumpled list out of his pocket and checking things off.*

We just need sum bread left.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around. Once it spotted the bread, it yipped to get Mafioso’s attention-

[achancewithchance]

..?

*Mafioso looked down, then back up, spotting the bread.*

Aw, thank you. You’re such a good little scout. Maybe I’ll reward ya with candy?

*He pats the loafling as he places the bread in the cart.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tries to nibble on the bread-

[achancewithchance]

Hey- no. Bad. I said I’ll get yous some candy upfront. No nibbling though, okay?

*Mafioso sighed and pushed the cart towards the check-out.*

We’ll wait for Chance here..if his slow ass gets here fast enough.

*The two wait by the check-out, waiting for Chance to return. Soon, they approach the cart.*

I was looking for you two! Where have you been??

Getting our stuff. Where have you been, Mr. ‘It takes me ten years just to find some pickles’?

I was looking for the cereal, old man. Now let’s go. It’s too crowded in here.

*Chance pats the loafling and waits in line with mafioso and it, bored of the slow pace in the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling lets out a tiny yawn-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. What? You tired?

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling.*

Don’t worry, we’ll be outta dis hellhole soon. Chance is payin’ this time.

What- we agreed you would- fine…I’ll pay this time.

*Chance walks up to the check-out counter and begins the payment process while maf begins loading stuff onto the conveyor. The loafling watches everything around it tiredly.*

Got everything.

*Maf leans against the cart, watching Chance put the bags in the cart. Soon after he begins to push it outside.*

Wasn’t so bad, was it, lil’ thing?

*Chance pats the loafling. Soon after, they arrive at their car. Chance gently picks the loafling up and places it back into the large seat, before going to help maf put the groceries and cart away.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around clearly not liking being dirty-

[achancewithchance]

*The two finish putting the groceries away and get back into the car.*

We’ll be home soon. Don’t worry.

*Chance reassured, holding the loafling in the front so it could see outside. Mafioso began the drive home.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling pressed its little face against the window-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grinned.*

Awee!!!!! You want the window down?!

*He rolled the window down, allowing the loafling to stick its head out.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stuck its head out the window and yipped-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon the three arrived home. Chance got out of the car, alongside maf. They enter the home and set the loafling down.*

I’ll ask maf to get one of his boys to bathe you. I gotta bring our groceries in alright?

*Chance went back out and mafioso came in after a minute.*

Chance told me you needed a bath, so I’ll get one of my boys to do it since I’ll be busy.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling waited in the living room-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso called his goon, Caporegime into the room. Caporegime looked down at the loafling, his face remaining blank.*

Give it a quick bath. Bubbles too.

Alright, boss.

*Caporegime takes the loafling from him, holding it firmly in his grasp. He walks to the bathroom with the loafling, setting it down gently in the sink before turning the bath water on for the tub.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sat in the tub and patiently waited to be washed-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime began to wash the loafling, silently and efficiently. He occasionally made sure the loafling was cozy as he continued to bathe it.

We should be done soon.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling made it easier for him to wash its little body-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime begins to clean the loaflings beans, gently making sure to get the clean.*

..You’re doing good..

*He gently patted the loaflings head while continuing to wash.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirped as its beans were quite ticklish-

[achancewithchance]

..sorry..

*Caporegime gently began to wash, watching the loafling chirp.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling didn’t seem to mind, its tail wagged happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aww..

*Caporegime continued to wash the loafling in warm water, occasionally giving it headpats or speaking to it.*

..You should be all done…you don’t smell..bad anymore..

*He picked the loafling up and wrapped it in a towel, holding it like a newborn baby against him as he walked out with it.*

Boss wanted me to put you in his bedroom.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to like Caporegime since he was nice-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime opens the door and puts it on the bed.*

There you go…keep the towel on though. Boss doesn’t you to get his bed wet.

*He pats the loafling and goes to guard the door from the outside.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling doesn’t really know what to do now, so it just stays on the bed-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon mafioso comes inside, sitting by the loafling.*

You smell better already. He did really good with ya.

*He picks the loafling up and holds it gently.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It licked Mafioso’s face affectionately-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and pats its head.*

Awwwwww. I love you too.

*He kisses its forehead and grins.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips before stretching-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. You tired or just regularly stretchin’?

*Mafioso gently pats it.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sneezes-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling affectionately.*

Excuse you.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling boops him with its nub out of curiosity-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso pauses, before grinning.*

Awww! Gettin’ bold huh?

*Mafioso gently boops the loafling back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps before trying to climb on him-

[achancewithchance]

Huh- woah!

*Mafioso lets it climb him, grabbing its side to keep it from falling off.*

Careful now!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling successfully climbed on top of him-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. Careful now.

*Mafioso grins, sitting still for the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It nuzzles him happily with its wet little nose-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*He nuzzles back happily, feeling its fluffiness.*

Like a fluffy pillow.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling just kinda rests there on him-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso leans back and sighs.*

Cozy up there? I plan on watching tv for a bit. Maybe I’ll even get chance to come watch.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips quietly-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and begins to watch tv with the loafling on his head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling watches Tv, occasionally “making biscuits” on Mafioso’s head-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. What’re ya doin’ up there?

*Mafioso looked up at the loafling.*

That kinda tickles. Be careful alright?

*Mafioso reached up and gently pats the loaflings back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to be uninterested by the tv as it was doing its own thing-

[achancewithchance]

*The two watched the movie in silence, until Chance comes in.*

Aww. Would ya look at that! Little bonding going on huh?

Shush. It’s just resting..I think..yeah..

Can I join?

*Chance grinned smugly and sat by Maf, patting the loafling on his head.*

..fine…just don’t be annoyin’.

Thanks Maf!

*Chance watched tv, but was more focused on the loafling.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling continued to “make biscuits” on Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

..it seems to like my head..

No kidding. Enjoying the view up there?

*Chance watched curiously while the loafling made its biscuits in Mafiosos hair.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at Chance before chirping-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance stared in disbelief.*

Awwwww!!! Look maf! It’s chirping!

*He pats the loafling.*

..yeah..seems happy…..Just make sure it don’t mess my hair up…

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whined, it wanted to be held-

[achancewithchance]

Heh. You want ol’ Chancey to hold ya-?

It’s gettin’ kinda heavy. Maybe it wants to spend some time in your lap?

*Chance reaches up and grabs the loafling, holding it gently.*

There we are. Hi, little thing.

*Chance holds it in their hands gently, smiling and occasionally kissing its head.*

It’s so soft maf! Feel.

*Chance rubs the loaflings fluffy back against Mafioso’s cheek teasingly. Mafioso grunts.*

Hey! Knock it off!

Not until you admit it’s fluffy!

I’ve already done this- but fine! I’ll admit, it’s really really fluffy and soft! Now stop!!!!

*Chance stops, holding the loafling in their lap.*

See? Wasn’t so hard. It’s happy now.

*Chance pats the loaflings fluffy back, mafioso occasionally petting too.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps happily, the loafling closes its eyes as it gets showered in affection-

[achancewithchance]

Who’s a good loafling?

*Chance scratches the top of their head affectionately, mafioso moving to rub its fluffy stomach.*

Aww!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling practically melts at their touch-

[achancewithchance]

Seems someone’s enjoying all this attention huh?

*Chance kisses the loaflings forehead before booping it.*

Lemme have a turn!

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling, showering it in affection with Chance.i

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps again, but it’s more hight pitched-

[achancewithchance]

Aww! I think it’s happy!

No kidding!

*The two continue pampering the loafling happily. Chance places it in their lap and pats its head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling licks them both-

[achancewithchance]

Aw- eh…saliva..ew

Aww don’t be a scaredy cat Chance. It’s just a little saliva, ya big germaphobe!

*Mafioso pats the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It keeps licking them, clearly happy-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso giggles while Chance frowned, slightly grossed out. He was always a germaphobe when it came to being licked.*

O-Okay! We love you too! Just- Just no more licking!

*Chance grimaced. His words were lighthearted though. He enjoyed the affection from the loafling. Maf grins and flicks the loaflings nose.*

I love you, ya little gremlin.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling stopped and looked around, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the room, must be Mafioso’s goons-

[achancewithchance]

..huh?

*Mafioso looked up at the door, seeing his boys come in, standing in formation, aside from Contractee and Soldier.*

Im tellin’ ya Rico, I get dibs on da loafling!

Nuh-uh. I get to pet it first!

…can you two stop..? It’s getting annoying.

*Capo snapped, swatting Contractee on the back of his neck.*

Ow! You cazzo!

*Contractee begins to scuffle with Capo while Consigliere just watched.*

*Soldier immediately rushes up to the loafling, squishing its cheek. Maf looked down at the loafling as soldier continued to squish and pet.*

So…soft! Boys, come feel!

*The boys stop their fighting and immediately approach, beginning to pet it.*

Aww!

..woah..

Soft one.

Reminds me of one of your bunnies, back in the overworld, pops.

..heh..yeah..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It recognised Caporegime and chirped-

[achancewithchance]

..aww. Hi again.

*Capo pats the loafling affectionately. The others look jealous that it seemed to recognize him instead of them.*

Lemme pet!

*Contractee pushes him to the side, patting the loafling.*

Easy boys.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling proceeded to show them its little beans-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Everyone shouts in unison. The loafling had them wrapped around its finger at the moment.

*Soldier feels on its beans.*

..squishy.

Here, set it down so we can watch it roam.

*Contractee/Stefano suggested. Consigliere/Lorenzo picked the loafing up and sat it in the floor, allowing it to roam. The boys followed behind it, watching its every move.*

I wonder what it’ll do!

*Stefano exclaimed, following it a bit more. Soldier/Rico followed too closely, accidentally stepping on its tail with his boot.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It let out a yelp and whined in pain-

[achancewithchance]

Oh!

*everyone stopped their admiring and looked over at Rico.*

..eh…sorry!!! I didn’t mean too! It was just too small!

It could’ve gotten hurt! Be more careful next time ya brute!

I didn’t mean it, guys!! I just mistepped. It’s like accidentally stepping on a kitten!! I’m sorry, alright!

I’m tellin’ boss!

..Oh god-

Pops, Rico stepped on da loafling!!

*Chance snickered.*

Stefanos a tattletale huh? I thought you guys hated having rats in the mob?

Shut it. He’s different.

*Maf sighed, waving his hands around.*

Look, Stefano, Rico didnt mean it. It was an accident he apologized for. Now if he did it again than that would be different because then I’d be upset with how clumsy he is, which is usually-

*Maf pauses when he hears the loafling cry out in pain.*

…RICO.

Ehh…sorry loafling….Clumsy me…. Bye-

*Soldier ran out, Mafioso immediately pursuing.*

CMERE SO I CAN TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU LITTLE SHIT-

*The others stay in silence in Mafioso’s bedroom.*

..did that just happen..?

….yeah..it’s common for boss to need to teach soldier a lesson…constantly.. he’s more rebellious and clumsy than contractee. Thats saying something.

Shut the fu-

Language.

*Lorenzo swats Stefano. Fernando just stares into the void like a machine until he hears the loafling chirping. It seemed to want to follow mafioso and rico. Fernando approached and picked it up, holding it.*

…I’m taking it with me.

*Fernando walked out, going to search for mafioso and rico.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling sniffed the air, looking for Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

…

*Capo continued to look for Maf and Soldier, spotting maf in the living room.*

OWW-! I learned my lesson!!!!!!

Boss!

*Capo sat the loafling down and stood behind boss, watching. Soldier wasn’t bleeding or too roughed up, just in enough pain to be able to learn his lesson.*

Be careful next time when dealing with small creatures! You should’ve know better after what happened with one of my bunnies! You’re too clumsy!

Ow-! I’m sorry!

*The loafling chirped, mafioso turning his attention to it.*

Aww. Hi again.

*Maf gently patted the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

*Mafioso slept peacefully in his bed with the loafling. Who wasn’t able to sleep much due to still adjusting to their new home. The loafling stirred in the middle of the night, looking around. It noticed that Mafioso left his door cracked open, a small glimmer of light coming in. The loafling limped to the edge of the bed and hopped off, limping towards the door. It followed its nose to the kitchen, which was empty. The entire house was asleep, and the little loafling was on a mission to eat as much as it could. It approached the fridge and began trying to open it, only managing to successfully open it after a few noisy attempts. Once opened, it began to look over the options, chirping happily. Mafioso begins to stir, having overheard some noise. He feels around for the loafling, still half asleep, until he can’t feel anything on the bed. He immediately shoots up, panicked.*

..eh..?! Loafling?!

-Eating noises could be heard from the kitchen-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looked around his bedroom quickly, panicked, before hearing what sounded like munching noises. He immediately leaves his room and goes into the kitchen. He jolts into the doorway, alert. His expression immediately changes when he sees the loafling munching on food, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal as he approached, standing over the tiny loafling.*

…There you are..you scared me..

*Mafioso kneels down, watching the loafling continue to munch. He turns to the open fridge door, seeing that half of the food was gone.*

…you have a big appetite, ‘ey…? I can’t…even be mad…

*He sighed, closing the fridge.*

I don’t even know how something so little could possibly open the door, but….good…job…maybe you’re meant to be ‘part of da family after all.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tilted its head to the side, not knowing what he meant-

[achancewithchance]

..eh..fugget about what I said… Didnt mean t’a get all sappy with yous. Anyway. Don’t run off again. I’ll keep da door shut next time just in case.

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling.*

You…gave me a scare, y’know?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles his hand-

[achancewithchance]

*Maf grins and pats the loafling.*

Sweet thing.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-Its tails wags, the loafling looks around for Chance-

[achancewithchance]

…You wanna see Chance…?

*Mafioso paused. He was slightly surprised.*

..alright..I’ll take ya to see him.

*Mafioso picked the loafling up and carried it to Chance’s room, quietly walking in and setting the loafling on the bed.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling limped right up to Chance and stared at him as he slept-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance groaned, stirring slightly. He opens his eyes, immediately seeing the loafling.*

…oh…hey…how’d you get in here..?

*Chance looks up, seeing Mafioso standing over them and the loafling tiredly.*

…..it wanted you…

..really..? Awe…I’m flattered.

*Chance pats the loafling tiredly, obviously still half asleep.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips before pouncing on Chance and licking his face happily-

[achancewithchance]

..eh- woah-!

*Chance falls back into the bed, still processing what was happening to them. Mafioso grinned slightly and watched, amused by the loaflings licking and Chances reaction.*

..seems it likes ya.

Y-Yeah! Seems so!

*Chance lays back and allows the loafling to lick, patting it gently, smiling. He seemed to be more awake now.*

..a-aw..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yipped excitedly, as it was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast with Chance, little did he know that half of the food in the fridge was gone-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grunts and sits up, trying to get the loafling off of him.*

Nph- hey! This..is cute and all…but I need to get up!! Maf! Help!!

*Mafioso watched as Chance tried prying the loafling off their face.*

C’mon, pucchiac, it’s so simple.

*Mafioso gently grabs the loafling and removes it from Chance’s face, which was covered in saliva from the loaflings constant licking. Chance grimaced a bit, immediately rushing to wipe their face with their sleeve.*

..thanks maf.. It seems very…happy..

*Mafioso holds the loafling gently, despite its constant flailing and chirping.*

..you think it’s hungry..?

No. It just ate. A lot too.

*The loafling perks up at the mention of food and begins flailing and chirping more.*

..but it seems hungry..here, give it to me.

..

*Mafioso hesitantly gives the loafling to Chance.*

Let’s get ya some food.

*Chance walks into the kitchen, setting the loafling on the floor. Mafioso stands beside the two, watching Chance open the fridge.*

…what….?

*Chance stares at the near empty fridge. There was nothing left aside from stuff the loafling didnt like.*

….WHAT THE FU-

Inside voice!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at the half empty fridge before looking up at Chance-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance looks down at the loafling in a mix of awe, shock and confusion.*

You’re telling me, this little thing ate nearly our entire stock of food?!

..yeah- I don’t know how but it did..somehow.. It has quite the appetite.

*Mafioso smiles fondly, kneeling to pick the loafling up again.*

..you let it eat our entire stock?!

..no! It somehow got out when I was sleepin’! You seriously think I’d feed this creature our entire food supply?!

*Chance groaned. He looked over at the loafling, their expression changing to one of mild anger.*

You- You ate practically all the food stuff, and-

*Chance sighs, their gaze softening at the loaflings innocent expression.*

…I can’t be mad… but I am disappointed though.. now we have to go shopping..this early into the morning.. you’re off the hook for now..if you do this again though, you’re sleeping on the floor…or couch..I’m not cruel like maf.

..I heard that..

I know. Anyway, we’re taking you with us.

*Chance begins to walk towards the door tiredly, going to grab their keys.*

..c’mon, we got some shopping to do.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling quickly limped over to the front door, occasionally falling a few times due to the shortened nub it had, but it didn’t seem to mind-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance opened the door, walking out to the car with Mafioso and the loafling limping by his side. Once they approached the car, he picks it up and places it inside.*

There we go. Get cozy.

*Two get in the car and start their journey to a nearby market.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around in the car seat a bit before getting comfortable-

[achancewithchance]

*After a bit they arrive at the market. Chance grabs a nearby cart and places the loafling in it.*

There. Front row view.

*He began to push the cart while mafioso walked beside them into the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around the store in awe-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance continued to push the cart around the store, grabbing different foods. Chance parked the cart by the shelf, patting the loafling.*

Me and Maf are gonna look at something real quick. Don’t worry.

*The two walked down the aisle and began to look for what they needed, leaving the loafling alone in the cart. The loafling looked around, suddenly becoming more aware of its surroundings. The loafling let out a scared chirp, becoming overwhelmed by noise.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It proceeded to let out more distressed yips and chirps as it defecated itself out of pure fear-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looks over at the cart after hearing the loud yips. He pauses when he saw the mess on the floor.*

..oh..! You okay??

*He approaches the cart and sighs.*

Too noisy in here for you huh? I’ll..find a way to clean this mess…

*Mafioso tells Chance to go get something to calm the loafling, and the two leave the isle, leaving mafioso to clean the mess.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whines tries to get out of the cart-

[achancewithchance]

Woah- hold on!

*Chance parks the cart and takes the flailing loafling out, setting it down.*

Try not to wander off, okay? Or…do what you just did..again.. we need no more messes.

*He sighed and watched the loafling roam up and down the aisle.*

Cutie.

*Chance grabbed a pack of some things for the family and placed them into the cart, grabbing the loafling and putting it in as well. He notices its little beans.*

Awww!!!!

*He gently squishes one of the beans, smiling.*

I didn’t know you had beans!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It randomly poked its little tongue out at him-

[achancewithchance]

Aw!!! Squishy!

*He playfully booped its nose and continued to squish its beans. Mafioso approaches the two after looking for them.*

What are you- aww.

*Mafioso grins, seeing the loaflings tongue out and bean paws. Mafioso begins to squish too, fascinated by the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling had calmed down, it stared at the people passing by-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso gently stopped squishing it. He turned to Chance.*

Here, why don’t we swap shifts? I’ll stay with the lil’ thing, ‘n you can go get sum of da stuff ya need.

Aww..but I wanted to push it around-

Go, Chance.

…fine…..

*Chance leaves the isle, leaving the loafling and mafioso alone. He continued to squish the loaflings beans before stopping.*

Alright, I need to get some spices while I’m already over here. I’ll be just right there, don’t you worry.

*Mafioso walked down the aisle a bit to find the spices, browsing them, leaving the loafling alone again, though maf was nearby.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It noticed a little bit of dirt on its paw and licked itself clean-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso returns after a bit with the spices, noticing it licking itself.*

Aw. Cute.

*He placed the spices in the cart.*

Poor thing. You’ve seemed to have gotten dirty since we’ve been in here. I’ll have one of my men clean ya up when we’re back home alright?

*He began to push the cart, taking a crumpled list out of his pocket and checking things off.*

We just need sum bread left.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around. Once it spotted the bread, it yipped to get Mafioso’s attention-

[achancewithchance]

..?

*Mafioso looked down, then back up, spotting the bread.*

Aw, thank you. You’re such a good little scout. Maybe I’ll reward ya with candy?

*He pats the loafling as he places the bread in the cart.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tries to nibble on the bread-

[achancewithchance]

Hey- no. Bad. I said I’ll get yous some candy upfront. No nibbling though, okay?

*Mafioso sighed and pushed the cart towards the check-out.*

We’ll wait for Chance here..if his slow ass gets here fast enough.

*The two wait by the check-out, waiting for Chance to return. Soon, they approach the cart.*

I was looking for you two! Where have you been??

Getting our stuff. Where have you been, Mr. ‘It takes me ten years just to find some pickles’?

I was looking for the cereal, old man. Now let’s go. It’s too crowded in here.

*Chance pats the loafling and waits in line with mafioso and it, bored of the slow pace in the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling lets out a tiny yawn-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. What? You tired?

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling.*

Don’t worry, we’ll be outta dis hellhole soon. Chance is payin’ this time.

What- we agreed you would- fine…I’ll pay this time.

*Chance walks up to the check-out counter and begins the payment process while maf begins loading stuff onto the conveyor. The loafling watches everything around it tiredly.*

Got everything.

*Maf leans against the cart, watching Chance put the bags in the cart. Soon after he begins to push it outside.*

Wasn’t so bad, was it, lil’ thing?

*Chance pats the loafling. Soon after, they arrive at their car. Chance gently picks the loafling up and places it back into the large seat, before going to help maf put the groceries and cart away.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around clearly not liking being dirty-

[achancewithchance]

*The two finish putting the groceries away and get back into the car.*

We’ll be home soon. Don’t worry.

*Chance reassured, holding the loafling in the front so it could see outside. Mafioso began the drive home.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling pressed its little face against the window-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grinned.*

Awee!!!!! You want the window down?!

*He rolled the window down, allowing the loafling to stick its head out.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stuck its head out the window and yipped-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon the three arrived home. Chance got out of the car, alongside maf. They enter the home and set the loafling down.*

I’ll ask maf to get one of his boys to bathe you. I gotta bring our groceries in alright?

*Chance went back out and mafioso came in after a minute.*

Chance told me you needed a bath, so I’ll get one of my boys to do it since I’ll be busy.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling waited in the living room-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso called his goon, Caporegime into the room. Caporegime looked down at the loafling, his face remaining blank.*

Give it a quick bath. Bubbles too.

Alright, boss.

*Caporegime takes the loafling from him, holding it firmly in his grasp. He walks to the bathroom with the loafling, setting it down gently in the sink before turning the bath water on for the tub.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sat in the tub and patiently waited to be washed-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime began to wash the loafling, silently and efficiently. He occasionally made sure the loafling was cozy as he continued to bathe it.

We should be done soon.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling made it easier for him to wash its little body-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime begins to clean the loaflings beans, gently making sure to get the clean.*

..You’re doing good..

*He gently patted the loaflings head while continuing to wash.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirped as its beans were quite ticklish-

[achancewithchance]

..sorry..

*Caporegime gently began to wash, watching the loafling chirp.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling didn’t seem to mind, its tail wagged happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aww..

*Caporegime continued to wash the loafling in warm water, occasionally giving it headpats or speaking to it.*

..You should be all done…you don’t smell..bad anymore..

*He picked the loafling up and wrapped it in a towel, holding it like a newborn baby against him as he walked out with it.*

Boss wanted me to put you in his bedroom.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to like Caporegime since he was nice-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime opens the door and puts it on the bed.*

There you go…keep the towel on though. Boss doesn’t you to get his bed wet.

*He pats the loafling and goes to guard the door from the outside.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling doesn’t really know what to do now, so it just stays on the bed-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon mafioso comes inside, sitting by the loafling.*

You smell better already. He did really good with ya.

*He picks the loafling up and holds it gently.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It licked Mafioso’s face affectionately-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and pats its head.*

Awwwwww. I love you too.

*He kisses its forehead and grins.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips before stretching-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. You tired or just regularly stretchin’?

*Mafioso gently pats it.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sneezes-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling affectionately.*

Excuse you.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling boops him with its nub out of curiosity-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso pauses, before grinning.*

Awww! Gettin’ bold huh?

*Mafioso gently boops the loafling back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps before trying to climb on him-

[achancewithchance]

Huh- woah!

*Mafioso lets it climb him, grabbing its side to keep it from falling off.*

Careful now!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling successfully climbed on top of him-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. Careful now.

*Mafioso grins, sitting still for the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It nuzzles him happily with its wet little nose-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*He nuzzles back happily, feeling its fluffiness.*

Like a fluffy pillow.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling just kinda rests there on him-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso leans back and sighs.*

Cozy up there? I plan on watching tv for a bit. Maybe I’ll even get chance to come watch.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips quietly-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and begins to watch tv with the loafling on his head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling watches Tv, occasionally “making biscuits” on Mafioso’s head-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. What’re ya doin’ up there?

*Mafioso looked up at the loafling.*

That kinda tickles. Be careful alright?

*Mafioso reached up and gently pats the loaflings back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to be uninterested by the tv as it was doing its own thing-

[achancewithchance]

*The two watched the movie in silence, until Chance comes in.*

Aww. Would ya look at that! Little bonding going on huh?

Shush. It’s just resting..I think..yeah..

Can I join?

*Chance grinned smugly and sat by Maf, patting the loafling on his head.*

..fine…just don’t be annoyin’.

Thanks Maf!

*Chance watched tv, but was more focused on the loafling.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling continued to “make biscuits” on Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

..it seems to like my head..

No kidding. Enjoying the view up there?

*Chance watched curiously while the loafling made its biscuits in Mafiosos hair.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at Chance before chirping-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance stared in disbelief.*

Awwwww!!! Look maf! It’s chirping!

*He pats the loafling.*

..yeah..seems happy…..Just make sure it don’t mess my hair up…

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whined, it wanted to be held-

[achancewithchance]

Heh. You want ol’ Chancey to hold ya-?

It’s gettin’ kinda heavy. Maybe it wants to spend some time in your lap?

*Chance reaches up and grabs the loafling, holding it gently.*

There we are. Hi, little thing.

*Chance holds it in their hands gently, smiling and occasionally kissing its head.*

It’s so soft maf! Feel.

*Chance rubs the loaflings fluffy back against Mafioso’s cheek teasingly. Mafioso grunts.*

Hey! Knock it off!

Not until you admit it’s fluffy!

I’ve already done this- but fine! I’ll admit, it’s really really fluffy and soft! Now stop!!!!

*Chance stops, holding the loafling in their lap.*

See? Wasn’t so hard. It’s happy now.

*Chance pats the loaflings fluffy back, mafioso occasionally petting too.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps happily, the loafling closes its eyes as it gets showered in affection-

[achancewithchance]

Who’s a good loafling?

*Chance scratches the top of their head affectionately, mafioso moving to rub its fluffy stomach.*

Aww!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling practically melts at their touch-

[achancewithchance]

Seems someone’s enjoying all this attention huh?

*Chance kisses the loaflings forehead before booping it.*

Lemme have a turn!

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling, showering it in affection with Chance.i

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps again, but it’s more hight pitched-

[achancewithchance]

Aww! I think it’s happy!

No kidding!

*The two continue pampering the loafling happily. Chance places it in their lap and pats its head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling licks them both-

[achancewithchance]

Aw- eh…saliva..ew

Aww don’t be a scaredy cat Chance. It’s just a little saliva, ya big germaphobe!

*Mafioso pats the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It keeps licking them, clearly happy-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso giggles while Chance frowned, slightly grossed out. He was always a germaphobe when it came to being licked.*

O-Okay! We love you too! Just- Just no more licking!

*Chance grimaced. His words were lighthearted though. He enjoyed the affection from the loafling. Maf grins and flicks the loaflings nose.*

I love you, ya little gremlin.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling stopped and looked around, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the room, must be Mafioso’s goons-

[achancewithchance]

..huh?

*Mafioso looked up at the door, seeing his boys come in, standing in formation, aside from Contractee and Soldier.*

Im tellin’ ya Rico, I get dibs on da loafling!

Nuh-uh. I get to pet it first!

…can you two stop..? It’s getting annoying.

*Capo snapped, swatting Contractee on the back of his neck.*

Ow! You cazzo!

*Contractee begins to scuffle with Capo while Consigliere just watched.*

*Soldier immediately rushes up to the loafling, squishing its cheek. Maf looked down at the loafling as soldier continued to squish and pet.*

So…soft! Boys, come feel!

*The boys stop their fighting and immediately approach, beginning to pet it.*

Aww!

..woah..

Soft one.

Reminds me of one of your bunnies, back in the overworld, pops.

..heh..yeah..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It recognised Caporegime and chirped-

[achancewithchance]

..aww. Hi again.

*Capo pats the loafling affectionately. The others look jealous that it seemed to recognize him instead of them.*

Lemme pet!

*Contractee pushes him to the side, patting the loafling.*

Easy boys.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling proceeded to show them its little beans-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Everyone shouts in unison. The loafling had them wrapped around its finger at the moment.

*Soldier feels on its beans.*

..squishy.

Here, set it down so we can watch it roam.

*Contractee/Stefano suggested. Consigliere/Lorenzo picked the loafing up and sat it in the floor, allowing it to roam. The boys followed behind it, watching its every move.*

I wonder what it’ll do!

*Stefano exclaimed, following it a bit more. Soldier/Rico followed too closely, accidentally stepping on its tail with his boot.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It let out a yelp and whined in pain-

[achancewithchance]

Oh!

*everyone stopped their admiring and looked over at Rico.*

..eh…sorry!!! I didn’t mean too! It was just too small!

It could’ve gotten hurt! Be more careful next time ya brute!

I didn’t mean it, guys!! I just mistepped. It’s like accidentally stepping on a kitten!! I’m sorry, alright!

I’m tellin’ boss!

..Oh god-

Pops, Rico stepped on da loafling!!

*Chance snickered.*

Stefanos a tattletale huh? I thought you guys hated having rats in the mob?

Shut it. He’s different.

*Maf sighed, waving his hands around.*

Look, Stefano, Rico didnt mean it. It was an accident he apologized for. Now if he did it again than that would be different because then I’d be upset with how clumsy he is, which is usually-

*Maf pauses when he hears the loafling cry out in pain.*

…RICO.

Ehh…sorry loafling….Clumsy me…. Bye-

*Soldier ran out, Mafioso immediately pursuing.*

CMERE SO I CAN TEACH YOU A LESSON YOU LITTLE SHIT-

*The others stay in silence in Mafioso’s bedroom.*

..did that just happen..?

….yeah..it’s common for boss to need to teach soldier a lesson…constantly.. he’s more rebellious and clumsy than contractee. Thats saying something.

Shut the fu-

Language.

*Lorenzo swats Stefano. Fernando just stares into the void like a machine until he hears the loafling chirping. It seemed to want to follow mafioso and rico. Fernando approached and picked it up, holding it.*

…I’m taking it with me.

*Fernando walked out, going to search for mafioso and rico.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

*Mafioso slept peacefully in his bed with the loafling. Who wasn’t able to sleep much due to still adjusting to their new home. The loafling stirred in the middle of the night, looking around. It noticed that Mafioso left his door cracked open, a small glimmer of light coming in. The loafling limped to the edge of the bed and hopped off, limping towards the door. It followed its nose to the kitchen, which was empty. The entire house was asleep, and the little loafling was on a mission to eat as much as it could. It approached the fridge and began trying to open it, only managing to successfully open it after a few noisy attempts. Once opened, it began to look over the options, chirping happily. Mafioso begins to stir, having overheard some noise. He feels around for the loafling, still half asleep, until he can’t feel anything on the bed. He immediately shoots up, panicked.*

..eh..?! Loafling?!

-Eating noises could be heard from the kitchen-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looked around his bedroom quickly, panicked, before hearing what sounded like munching noises. He immediately leaves his room and goes into the kitchen. He jolts into the doorway, alert. His expression immediately changes when he sees the loafling munching on food, his heartbeat slowly returning to normal as he approached, standing over the tiny loafling.*

…There you are..you scared me..

*Mafioso kneels down, watching the loafling continue to munch. He turns to the open fridge door, seeing that half of the food was gone.*

…you have a big appetite, ‘ey…? I can’t…even be mad…

*He sighed, closing the fridge.*

I don’t even know how something so little could possibly open the door, but….good…job…maybe you’re meant to be ‘part of da family after all.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tilted its head to the side, not knowing what he meant-

[achancewithchance]

..eh..fugget about what I said… Didnt mean t’a get all sappy with yous. Anyway. Don’t run off again. I’ll keep da door shut next time just in case.

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling.*

You…gave me a scare, y’know?

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling nuzzles his hand-

[achancewithchance]

*Maf grins and pats the loafling.*

Sweet thing.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-Its tails wags, the loafling looks around for Chance-

[achancewithchance]

…You wanna see Chance…?

*Mafioso paused. He was slightly surprised.*

..alright..I’ll take ya to see him.

*Mafioso picked the loafling up and carried it to Chance’s room, quietly walking in and setting the loafling on the bed.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling limped right up to Chance and stared at him as he slept-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance groaned, stirring slightly. He opens his eyes, immediately seeing the loafling.*

…oh…hey…how’d you get in here..?

*Chance looks up, seeing Mafioso standing over them and the loafling tiredly.*

…..it wanted you…

..really..? Awe…I’m flattered.

*Chance pats the loafling tiredly, obviously still half asleep.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips before pouncing on Chance and licking his face happily-

[achancewithchance]

..eh- woah-!

*Chance falls back into the bed, still processing what was happening to them. Mafioso grinned slightly and watched, amused by the loaflings licking and Chances reaction.*

..seems it likes ya.

Y-Yeah! Seems so!

*Chance lays back and allows the loafling to lick, patting it gently, smiling. He seemed to be more awake now.*

..a-aw..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yipped excitedly, as it was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast with Chance, little did he know that half of the food in the fridge was gone-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grunts and sits up, trying to get the loafling off of him.*

Nph- hey! This..is cute and all…but I need to get up!! Maf! Help!!

*Mafioso watched as Chance tried prying the loafling off their face.*

C’mon, pucchiac, it’s so simple.

*Mafioso gently grabs the loafling and removes it from Chance’s face, which was covered in saliva from the loaflings constant licking. Chance grimaced a bit, immediately rushing to wipe their face with their sleeve.*

..thanks maf.. It seems very…happy..

*Mafioso holds the loafling gently, despite its constant flailing and chirping.*

..you think it’s hungry..?

No. It just ate. A lot too.

*The loafling perks up at the mention of food and begins flailing and chirping more.*

..but it seems hungry..here, give it to me.

..

*Mafioso hesitantly gives the loafling to Chance.*

Let’s get ya some food.

*Chance walks into the kitchen, setting the loafling on the floor. Mafioso stands beside the two, watching Chance open the fridge.*

…what….?

*Chance stares at the near empty fridge. There was nothing left aside from stuff the loafling didnt like.*

….WHAT THE FU-

Inside voice!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at the half empty fridge before looking up at Chance-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance looks down at the loafling in a mix of awe, shock and confusion.*

You’re telling me, this little thing ate nearly our entire stock of food?!

..yeah- I don’t know how but it did..somehow.. It has quite the appetite.

*Mafioso smiles fondly, kneeling to pick the loafling up again.*

..you let it eat our entire stock?!

..no! It somehow got out when I was sleepin’! You seriously think I’d feed this creature our entire food supply?!

*Chance groaned. He looked over at the loafling, their expression changing to one of mild anger.*

You- You ate practically all the food stuff, and-

*Chance sighs, their gaze softening at the loaflings innocent expression.*

…I can’t be mad… but I am disappointed though.. now we have to go shopping..this early into the morning.. you’re off the hook for now..if you do this again though, you’re sleeping on the floor…or couch..I’m not cruel like maf.

..I heard that..

I know. Anyway, we’re taking you with us.

*Chance begins to walk towards the door tiredly, going to grab their keys.*

..c’mon, we got some shopping to do.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling quickly limped over to the front door, occasionally falling a few times due to the shortened nub it had, but it didn’t seem to mind-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance opened the door, walking out to the car with Mafioso and the loafling limping by his side. Once they approached the car, he picks it up and places it inside.*

There we go. Get cozy.

*Two get in the car and start their journey to a nearby market.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around in the car seat a bit before getting comfortable-

[achancewithchance]

*After a bit they arrive at the market. Chance grabs a nearby cart and places the loafling in it.*

There. Front row view.

*He began to push the cart while mafioso walked beside them into the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around the store in awe-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance continued to push the cart around the store, grabbing different foods. Chance parked the cart by the shelf, patting the loafling.*

Me and Maf are gonna look at something real quick. Don’t worry.

*The two walked down the aisle and began to look for what they needed, leaving the loafling alone in the cart. The loafling looked around, suddenly becoming more aware of its surroundings. The loafling let out a scared chirp, becoming overwhelmed by noise.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It proceeded to let out more distressed yips and chirps as it defecated itself out of pure fear-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso looks over at the cart after hearing the loud yips. He pauses when he saw the mess on the floor.*

..oh..! You okay??

*He approaches the cart and sighs.*

Too noisy in here for you huh? I’ll..find a way to clean this mess…

*Mafioso tells Chance to go get something to calm the loafling, and the two leave the isle, leaving mafioso to clean the mess.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whines tries to get out of the cart-

[achancewithchance]

Woah- hold on!

*Chance parks the cart and takes the flailing loafling out, setting it down.*

Try not to wander off, okay? Or…do what you just did..again.. we need no more messes.

*He sighed and watched the loafling roam up and down the aisle.*

Cutie.

*Chance grabbed a pack of some things for the family and placed them into the cart, grabbing the loafling and putting it in as well. He notices its little beans.*

Awww!!!!

*He gently squishes one of the beans, smiling.*

I didn’t know you had beans!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It randomly poked its little tongue out at him-

[achancewithchance]

Aw!!! Squishy!

*He playfully booped its nose and continued to squish its beans. Mafioso approaches the two after looking for them.*

What are you- aww.

*Mafioso grins, seeing the loaflings tongue out and bean paws. Mafioso begins to squish too, fascinated by the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling had calmed down, it stared at the people passing by-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso gently stopped squishing it. He turned to Chance.*

Here, why don’t we swap shifts? I’ll stay with the lil’ thing, ‘n you can go get sum of da stuff ya need.

Aww..but I wanted to push it around-

Go, Chance.

…fine…..

*Chance leaves the isle, leaving the loafling and mafioso alone. He continued to squish the loaflings beans before stopping.*

Alright, I need to get some spices while I’m already over here. I’ll be just right there, don’t you worry.

*Mafioso walked down the aisle a bit to find the spices, browsing them, leaving the loafling alone again, though maf was nearby.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It noticed a little bit of dirt on its paw and licked itself clean-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso returns after a bit with the spices, noticing it licking itself.*

Aw. Cute.

*He placed the spices in the cart.*

Poor thing. You’ve seemed to have gotten dirty since we’ve been in here. I’ll have one of my men clean ya up when we’re back home alright?

*He began to push the cart, taking a crumpled list out of his pocket and checking things off.*

We just need sum bread left.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling looked around. Once it spotted the bread, it yipped to get Mafioso’s attention-

[achancewithchance]

..?

*Mafioso looked down, then back up, spotting the bread.*

Aw, thank you. You’re such a good little scout. Maybe I’ll reward ya with candy?

*He pats the loafling as he places the bread in the cart.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It tries to nibble on the bread-

[achancewithchance]

Hey- no. Bad. I said I’ll get yous some candy upfront. No nibbling though, okay?

*Mafioso sighed and pushed the cart towards the check-out.*

We’ll wait for Chance here..if his slow ass gets here fast enough.

*The two wait by the check-out, waiting for Chance to return. Soon, they approach the cart.*

I was looking for you two! Where have you been??

Getting our stuff. Where have you been, Mr. ‘It takes me ten years just to find some pickles’?

I was looking for the cereal, old man. Now let’s go. It’s too crowded in here.

*Chance pats the loafling and waits in line with mafioso and it, bored of the slow pace in the store.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling lets out a tiny yawn-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. What? You tired?

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling.*

Don’t worry, we’ll be outta dis hellhole soon. Chance is payin’ this time.

What- we agreed you would- fine…I’ll pay this time.

*Chance walks up to the check-out counter and begins the payment process while maf begins loading stuff onto the conveyor. The loafling watches everything around it tiredly.*

Got everything.

*Maf leans against the cart, watching Chance put the bags in the cart. Soon after he begins to push it outside.*

Wasn’t so bad, was it, lil’ thing?

*Chance pats the loafling. Soon after, they arrive at their car. Chance gently picks the loafling up and places it back into the large seat, before going to help maf put the groceries and cart away.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It moved around clearly not liking being dirty-

[achancewithchance]

*The two finish putting the groceries away and get back into the car.*

We’ll be home soon. Don’t worry.

*Chance reassured, holding the loafling in the front so it could see outside. Mafioso began the drive home.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling pressed its little face against the window-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance grinned.*

Awee!!!!! You want the window down?!

*He rolled the window down, allowing the loafling to stick its head out.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stuck its head out the window and yipped-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon the three arrived home. Chance got out of the car, alongside maf. They enter the home and set the loafling down.*

I’ll ask maf to get one of his boys to bathe you. I gotta bring our groceries in alright?

*Chance went back out and mafioso came in after a minute.*

Chance told me you needed a bath, so I’ll get one of my boys to do it since I’ll be busy.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling waited in the living room-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso called his goon, Caporegime into the room. Caporegime looked down at the loafling, his face remaining blank.*

Give it a quick bath. Bubbles too.

Alright, boss.

*Caporegime takes the loafling from him, holding it firmly in his grasp. He walks to the bathroom with the loafling, setting it down gently in the sink before turning the bath water on for the tub.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sat in the tub and patiently waited to be washed-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime began to wash the loafling, silently and efficiently. He occasionally made sure the loafling was cozy as he continued to bathe it.

We should be done soon.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling made it easier for him to wash its little body-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime begins to clean the loaflings beans, gently making sure to get the clean.*

..You’re doing good..

*He gently patted the loaflings head while continuing to wash.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirped as its beans were quite ticklish-

[achancewithchance]

..sorry..

*Caporegime gently began to wash, watching the loafling chirp.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling didn’t seem to mind, its tail wagged happily-

[achancewithchance]

..aww..

*Caporegime continued to wash the loafling in warm water, occasionally giving it headpats or speaking to it.*

..You should be all done…you don’t smell..bad anymore..

*He picked the loafling up and wrapped it in a towel, holding it like a newborn baby against him as he walked out with it.*

Boss wanted me to put you in his bedroom.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to like Caporegime since he was nice-

[achancewithchance]

*Caporegime opens the door and puts it on the bed.*

There you go…keep the towel on though. Boss doesn’t you to get his bed wet.

*He pats the loafling and goes to guard the door from the outside.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling doesn’t really know what to do now, so it just stays on the bed-

[achancewithchance]

*Soon mafioso comes inside, sitting by the loafling.*

You smell better already. He did really good with ya.

*He picks the loafling up and holds it gently.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It licked Mafioso’s face affectionately-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and pats its head.*

Awwwwww. I love you too.

*He kisses its forehead and grins.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling yips before stretching-

[achancewithchance]

Aww. You tired or just regularly stretchin’?

*Mafioso gently pats it.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It sneezes-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Mafioso grins and pats the loafling affectionately.*

Excuse you.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling boops him with its nub out of curiosity-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso pauses, before grinning.*

Awww! Gettin’ bold huh?

*Mafioso gently boops the loafling back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps before trying to climb on him-

[achancewithchance]

Huh- woah!

*Mafioso lets it climb him, grabbing its side to keep it from falling off.*

Careful now!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling successfully climbed on top of him-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. Careful now.

*Mafioso grins, sitting still for the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It nuzzles him happily with its wet little nose-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*He nuzzles back happily, feeling its fluffiness.*

Like a fluffy pillow.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling just kinda rests there on him-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso leans back and sighs.*

Cozy up there? I plan on watching tv for a bit. Maybe I’ll even get chance to come watch.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It yips quietly-

[achancewithchance]

*He grins and begins to watch tv with the loafling on his head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling watches Tv, occasionally “making biscuits” on Mafioso’s head-

[achancewithchance]

Awww. What’re ya doin’ up there?

*Mafioso looked up at the loafling.*

That kinda tickles. Be careful alright?

*Mafioso reached up and gently pats the loaflings back.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It seemed to be uninterested by the tv as it was doing its own thing-

[achancewithchance]

*The two watched the movie in silence, until Chance comes in.*

Aww. Would ya look at that! Little bonding going on huh?

Shush. It’s just resting..I think..yeah..

Can I join?

*Chance grinned smugly and sat by Maf, patting the loafling on his head.*

..fine…just don’t be annoyin’.

Thanks Maf!

*Chance watched tv, but was more focused on the loafling.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling continued to “make biscuits” on Mafioso-

[achancewithchance]

..it seems to like my head..

No kidding. Enjoying the view up there?

*Chance watched curiously while the loafling made its biscuits in Mafiosos hair.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It stared at Chance before chirping-

[achancewithchance]

*Chance stared in disbelief.*

Awwwww!!! Look maf! It’s chirping!

*He pats the loafling.*

..yeah..seems happy…..Just make sure it don’t mess my hair up…

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling whined, it wanted to be held-

[achancewithchance]

Heh. You want ol’ Chancey to hold ya-?

It’s gettin’ kinda heavy. Maybe it wants to spend some time in your lap?

*Chance reaches up and grabs the loafling, holding it gently.*

There we are. Hi, little thing.

*Chance holds it in their hands gently, smiling and occasionally kissing its head.*

It’s so soft maf! Feel.

*Chance rubs the loaflings fluffy back against Mafioso’s cheek teasingly. Mafioso grunts.*

Hey! Knock it off!

Not until you admit it’s fluffy!

I’ve already done this- but fine! I’ll admit, it’s really really fluffy and soft! Now stop!!!!

*Chance stops, holding the loafling in their lap.*

See? Wasn’t so hard. It’s happy now.

*Chance pats the loaflings fluffy back, mafioso occasionally petting too.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps happily, the loafling closes its eyes as it gets showered in affection-

[achancewithchance]

Who’s a good loafling?

*Chance scratches the top of their head affectionately, mafioso moving to rub its fluffy stomach.*

Aww!

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling practically melts at their touch-

[achancewithchance]

Seems someone’s enjoying all this attention huh?

*Chance kisses the loaflings forehead before booping it.*

Lemme have a turn!

*Mafioso begins to pet the loafling, showering it in affection with Chance.i

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It chirps again, but it’s more hight pitched-

[achancewithchance]

Aww! I think it’s happy!

No kidding!

*The two continue pampering the loafling happily. Chance places it in their lap and pats its head.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling licks them both-

[achancewithchance]

Aw- eh…saliva..ew

Aww don’t be a scaredy cat Chance. It’s just a little saliva, ya big germaphobe!

*Mafioso pats the loafling.*

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It keeps licking them, clearly happy-

[achancewithchance]

*Mafioso giggles while Chance frowned, slightly grossed out. He was always a germaphobe when it came to being licked.*

O-Okay! We love you too! Just- Just no more licking!

*Chance grimaced. His words were lighthearted though. He enjoyed the affection from the loafling. Maf grins and flicks the loaflings nose.*

I love you, ya little gremlin.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling stopped and looked around, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard approaching the room, must be Mafioso’s goons-

[achancewithchance]

..huh?

*Mafioso looked up at the door, seeing his boys come in, standing in formation, aside from Contractee and Soldier.*

Im tellin’ ya Rico, I get dibs on da loafling!

Nuh-uh. I get to pet it first!

…can you two stop..? It’s getting annoying.

*Capo snapped, swatting Contractee on the back of his neck.*

Ow! You cazzo!

*Contractee begins to scuffle with Capo while Consigliere just watched.*

*Soldier immediately rushes up to the loafling, squishing its cheek. Maf looked down at the loafling as soldier continued to squish and pet.*

So…soft! Boys, come feel!

*The boys stop their fighting and immediately approach, beginning to pet it.*

Aww!

..woah..

Soft one.

Reminds me of one of your bunnies, back in the overworld, pops.

..heh..yeah..

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-It recognised Caporegime and chirped-

[achancewithchance]

..aww. Hi again.

*Capo pats the loafling affectionately. The others look jealous that it seemed to recognize him instead of them.*

Lemme pet!

*Contractee pushes him to the side, patting the loafling.*

Easy boys.

[anxiouslyillustriousforce]

-The loafling proceeded to show them its little beans-

[achancewithchance]

Aww!

*Everyone shouts in unison. The loafling had them wrapped around its finger at the moment.

*Soldier feels on its beans.*

..squishy.

Here, set it down so we can watch it roam.

*Contractee/Stefano suggested. Consigliere/Lorenzo picked the loafing up and sat it in the floor, allowing it to roam. The boys followed behind it, watching its every move.*

I wonder what it’ll do!

*Stefano exclaimed, following it a bit more. Soldier/Rico followed too closely, accidentally stepping on its tail with his boot.*
