A sea bunny enters Sebastian’s shop

Borf?

Sif’s sea bunny?

Sif or her Sebastian isn’t anywhere around or in sight

The sea bunny chirps he has a piece of paper in his mouth

( @sebastian-sif-solace )

*Lacie notices the bunny and approaches them carefully as to not scare them with her new appearance*

“Borf? What are you doing here lil guy?”

*taking the note in her claws, she examines it carefully*

(Sorry for the late reply! )

[un3asy-all1ance]

Borf chirped happily

The note is from sif

“Hiii Lacie!!!!! My dad is teaching me how to sew so I thought I’d make you something!!!!”

It read

Borf chirped again there was a little deal plush on his back

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*Lacie looked up to see the plushie on borf’s back. A warm and delighted smile spread across her face*

*the picked up the seal plush from borf and gave it a tight squeeze*

“Thank you for bringing this to me lil guy!”

*she wrote a thank you note for Sif and passed it to borf*

“Do you think you could give this to Sif for me? Please?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

The bunny hopped and spun taking the note

He seemed happy to talk it

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Thank you!”

*she carefully pet the bunny and watched them leave through the vent*

*she looked at her current claws with a slight discontent and hoped they’d be gone before the next time she sees Sif*

*Hands Lacie a water gun spray painted black*

go. Do a crime

*lacie happily takes the water gun in her claws, a chaotic glint in her eye*

*as Sebastian’s attention is diverted by incoming expendables, lacie takes the opportunity to fire the water pistol directly at his back*

“GAHHH!”

“Wha- LACIE!?”

*a smug grin and a manic giggle emerges from lacie as she scampers away, firing water at the expendables on the way out, no one is spared*

*sebastian quickly kicks the expendables out and tries to follow after her…*

*lacie is now a fish for 4 more asks*

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

does Sebastian have any nicknames for Lacie?

How did Sebastian feel when she was born? Reaction/action etc..

Yes! There are a few nicknames that Sebastian likes to call lacie especially when she was younger.

Usually he just shortens her name to lace however he also uses the nicknames baby bear or lacie-bear, though these nicknames are usually used in greetings such as “hey there lacie-bear”.

Sometimes he also calls her mija or sweetpea.

As for when she was born…

Well he was overwhelmed to say the least

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

Seb, opinion on the DSB's? (Deep Sea Bunnies)

*sebastian, whilst checking lacie was okay, barely acknowledged the anon’s presence though he decided answer them regardless*

“Annoying little pests sometimes… always stealing my merchandise and food”

*he grumbles there was a clear disgust and annoyance on his face.

*Lacie looked up at him with big puppy eyes and gently lifted up a kiwi coloured sea bunny using her new claws*

“What about tennis ball?”

“…”

“Alright… except for tennis ball. I’ll admit that they’re kinda cute…”

*the bunny hopped happily up and down in response*

“they’re pushing it though…”

*lacie is now a fish for 5 more asks*

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

Sorry Sebastian but POOF LACIE IS LIKE YOU FOR 6 ASKS (I'm being generous)

“WHAT!?”

“N-NOW HOLD ON JUST A DAMN SECOND-“

“Wait what?”

*and with that, lacie was a fishe for 6 asks*

*sebastian was clearly furious, lacie just seemed confused and slightly uncomfortable with her new appearance*

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

does Sebastian ever worry about having violent outbursts or animalistic tendencies at expendables now that lacies back in his life? (I have a very funny image of an expendable being annoying and pointing at Lacie in the corner)

Definitely! though he still does lash out at expendables from time to time, he will restrain himself from doing so if Lacie is nearby or listening.

He is mostly worried about scaring or traumatising her so, in her presence, he is a lot more cautious and patient when dealing with the expendables. He is also self conscious about his outbursts and animal tendencies, and worries that because of them, Lacie wouldn’t be able to see him as she did before all the experiments happened, as a human. The last thing he wants is for his own daughter to see him as a monster.

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

so why I’m the world did they send Lacie down here? Was that not of some sort of ethical concern? And how did Lacie survive so long

Thank you for asking anon!

During the events of the main storyline, the reason why lacie was sent down to the hadal blacksite during the lockdown was due to the increase of deaths involving expendables around Sebastian’s shop. due to her connections with Sebastian and the fact that they already had her in a surface based facility, they saw an opportunity.

They figured that because of her familial ties with Sebastian she would have a slightly higher survival rate compared to most expendables. There were a few concerns amongst urbanshade employees that she wouldn’t make it and die or that if / when she found Sebastian, they’d reconnect and team up against urbanshade. Higher execs however pointed out that her presence alone could perhaps distract the saboteur making it easier for the other expendables to get ti the crystal and that if she died then that would mean they’d be getting rid of a loose end.

As for ethical concerns, the urbanshade caretakers of lacie tried to argue that she was just a child and wouldn’t make it far, however they were met with the same argument.

When it comes to Lacie survival, she was sent down with three other expendables (to ensure her survival) who died along the way, she learned from their reactions to situations and their deaths. Another thing I’d like to point out is that I actually wrote the first chapter pre wtw update meaning that lacie would have had less threats to deal with ( like grand encounters) before reaching Sebastian’s shop.

Now technically there was also a time before this one where lacie was sent down to the blacksite as blackmail to be used against Sebastian so that he’d willingly participate in the gill trials (They did this so it would look good on paper). The main concern that time was that they were worried that the cover up story for lacie’s kidnapping wouldn’t be good enough and the employees behind would get demoted to MR-Ps. This is also the reason as to why lacie is a loose end and was being held in a facility on the surface.

This time in the blacksite could also lend itself as to why lacie was able to survive for so long in the present storyline as she would have a small grasp of the layout of the blacksite.

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

Sif snuck into Ph! sebastian's shop and hid ready to pop out and scare anyone.

( @sif-solace )

*sebastian was tending to his wares and sorting through files. It would seem that he hasn’t noticed Sif’s presence. A walkie was placed close to where Sebastian was working, it seemed to be active*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Sif had a devious little smiled sneaking through corners staring at them with her big blue eyes she giggled

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastians ears flicked in response to the giggling. He turned around to see where it was coming from*

“Hello? Is someone there?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She continued to hide ducking behind some crates and boxed peeking through the cracks

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastian seemed slightly annoyed by the intrusion as he began looking around his shop*

“I know you’re in here…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her tail gently swished as she chirped staying as quiet as she could

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he continued searching amongst the boxes and junk he had in his shop his poor eyesight certainly didn’t help*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Sif didn’t exactly have the greatest eyesight either…but she could sense him.

She scurried around making slight movements to try and stay out of sight

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*Sebastian noticed one of the boxes moving and approached it cautiously unaware of the lurking prankster*

“Gotcha…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She waited slowly shifting to a different part of the boxes

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*He pulled the boxes out hoping to reveal the little stowaway*

“HAHA! Wait…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She gasped

“Awhhhh man…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Sif!?”

*a look of shock a bemusement was evident on Sebastian’s face*

“What are you doing here kid?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Uh….is this not…?”

She looked up at him

“Well fuck. I should’ve known since you’re not as tall as him…and plus he’s…not in a good mood right now…” she frowned

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Damn, I’m sorry to hear that kid… well if you want to talk about it I’m here, but if not then feel free to stay as long as you’d like! Though I can’t promise I’ll be good company. Not exactly the best person to be around”

*he chuckled*

[un3asy-all1ance]

“That’s okay, I deal with mine all the time, well all my life. He’s older and grumpier than you are most of the time.” She giggled

“I dunno really what to talk about. I don’t know why he’s upset. So I left to give him a break from my antics.”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Well knowing that he is a variant of me I can tell you that yeah it’s great to have breaks from things sometimes or to have a bit of space to ourselves…”

*he thought for a moment*

“but sometimes the stress and upsets may be from frustration with ourselves rather than from the people around us…”

“This is mostly speculation but Maybe he did something or didn’t do something and that’s what’s bothering him?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She shrugged

“Maybe?” She shrugged

“He’s been trying to balance getting us out and my birthday stuff…and just taking care of me, maybe…” her ears drooped for a moment

“Oh…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at sif to see what was wrong*

“Kid, Whats up?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She covered part of the bandages on her waist

“I got attacked and my pincer severed..like the last one. And….uh he couldn’t get to me in time, so not only did I have a severed pincer but a uh bloody nose maybe a few broken ribs? I dunno I passed out back in the shop. Maybe he’s upset about that, this happened….not that long ago…I know I probably shouldn’t be up n moving but who cares” she shrugged

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*Sebastian sighed*

“No wonder he’s upset kid, I can’t imagine how frustrated with himself he must be.”

“Knowing me…er him, he probably blames himself for it.

“sometimes some things are out of our control and there’s not much we can do to go back and change them. All we can do is focus on what has happened and that you’re okay and alive”

“Though in my earnest opinion, and as a dad myself, you should probably be resting, broken ribs aren’t really something you can walk off”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Yeah…that is true…”

She dropped her ears “I don’t want to rest, I’ve done it before. Plenty of times!”

“Probably doesn’t help I also had an asthma attack…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Probably, but you can’t blame yourself for that kid…”

*his ear fins twitched*

“Also kid… resting once or twice won’t magically make the pain and injury go away.”

“ I get that you want to help your dad I really do, but if you don’t rest properly then you could get worse and maybe worry him more”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Here are dropped downwards

“I…guess so…” she huffed

“I don’t wanna go back right now”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*his expression softened*

“It’s alright kid, if you want I can grab you some pillows and blankets if that’ll help at all.”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She looked up at him a little guiltily

“Yes please….i didn’t mention it earlier but…he also went into that….state too. Like me n you. It was uh…scary to say the least.”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“I see… hopefully everything’s okay, and like I said you’re free to stay here as long as you need kid.”

*he reached up to the balcony in his shop, grabbed some blankets and pillows and passed them over to Sif*

“I know it can be very scary to be around anyone like that.”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Yeah…when I was little he did and…ah…being as small as I was, easily broken….”

She took the blankets wrapping herself up in them

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at her with sympathy*

“I can imagine that growing up with that your whole life wasn’t easy”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“No…ontop of testing…after testing…never was a break…and then Anderson….the director…” she frowned

“I hated it….i hated every second I was locked in that cage or strapped to a chair ‘22 can you tell us what you see?’ Or ‘22 can you talk to us to make sure your brain still functions…’ my dad tried…and I know he didn’t…truly want me, he might’ve taken me in but that’s just because he felt bad for me…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“I get it kid… urbanshade shouldn’t even be testing on children in the first place… and stress and pain like that will do a number on anyone, make it seem like the world doesn’t want you…but from what I know about your dad and from how I’ve seen you two interact, Of course he wanted you kid! You’re his daughter and If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be fighting tooth and nail to keep you safe!”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She gently nodded laying down

“Yeah…that’s…true but it’s not my fault I was born here…I say born, wasn’t really born I- came from a tube and artificial womb.”

She sighed

“I’m getting all sappy and negative…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at her with a gentle smile and sighed*

“It’s alright kid, sometimes it’s good to get things off your chest”

“Now get some rest, even if it’s just 15 minute nap any rest is better than none”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Right…right…is Lacie around?” She asked

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Unfortunately she’s hanging out with painter right now, sorry kid”

“Though they did tell me about half an hour ago that they were both playing chess… which I can only imagine how well that’s going considering neither of them know how to play chess…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She giggled

“Well, I’m not very good at chess either…” she smiled

“Thank you again, sir.”

She laid her head down

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“It’s no problem kid”

*a soft smile appeared on his face. He returned back to sorting through documents, content and happy*

[un3asy-all1ance]

She drifted to sleep for about an hour or two… tossing and turning

Before the bolted upwards in a gasp and cold sweat

“Fuck…”

She muttered

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Kid?”

*sebastian placed his documents down and turned his attention to Sif*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her breathing was heavy as she wiped the sweat from her face

“Y-yeah-?” Her eyes darted around the room her heart racing and her breaths wonky

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“You alright?”

*he looked at her with concern*

[un3asy-all1ance]

She blinked a bit rapidly before clearing her throat and trying to catch some air

“Y-yeah, why?” She nervously smiled

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Just looked like you had a nightmare is all kid… just wanting to make sure you’re okay”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Y-yeah…I did…”

“S-sorry”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he sighed and grabbed something from the balcony*

“Here take this…”

*its a small pillow, sock plushie with button eyes, it looks a lot like a sea creature*

“Lacie used to struggle with nightmares too so I made her this, maybe it could help you too?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her ears flickered as a wide smiles grew on her face

“It reminds me of ms.bunny”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*a warm smile grew on his face*

“Glad you like it kid!”

“Now…it’s best get back to work, these files won’t sort themselves heh”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She smiled

“Yeah…yeah, I have a plushie like this, it’s a bunny. Had her since I was baby. Dad had to stitch it up all the time”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Awww!”

“Y’know before urbanshade, lace used to have this plush that she took with her everywhere, she called it mr squish. I remember it being nearly twice her size when she’d carry it around… she used to be so little… that plush was one of the last few things I gave to her before…any of this happened…”

*he had a somber nostalgia in his eyes*

“I wonder if that plush is still around on the surface…”

“Oh well…”

*his focus returned to the data*

[un3asy-all1ance]

“I’d hope so!” She smiled

“I was a super small baby, I could fit in the palm of my papa’s hands. Though apparently I was pretty violent too, hissing and biting like a little kitten.” She giggled laying back down

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastian chuckled*

“I remember how small lace used to be, definitely not as small as you but still. She was adorable. Nothings really changed much in that sense now that I think about it”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She giggled

“Yeah, I’d imagine so.”

She turned into her back

“I can’t believe in almost 15!”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“15 years huh. That’s great kid, hope you have a happy birthday”

*sebastian seemed to be growing in exhaustion but he ignored it for now and continued sorting through files, that was until he yawned and it caught him off guard*

“Anyway kid… it’s getting late, well for me at least. I don’t know if time works differently or not in your universe heh, but uh I need to rest now. I’ll be honest it’s been nice to have company down in the shop”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Yeah! I…need to rest too..” she laid her head on the pillow

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Goodnight kid”

*he smiled before turning his esca off and promptly passing out on his desk*

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

Sif snuck into Ph! sebastian's shop and hid ready to pop out and scare anyone.

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her breathing was heavy as she wiped the sweat from her face

“Y-yeah-?” Her eyes darted around the room her heart racing and her breaths wonky

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“You alright?”

*he looked at her with concern*

[un3asy-all1ance]

She blinked a bit rapidly before clearing her throat and trying to catch some air

“Y-yeah, why?” She nervously smiled

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Just looked like you had a nightmare is all kid… just wanting to make sure you’re okay”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Y-yeah…I did…”

“S-sorry”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he sighed and grabbed something from the balcony*

“Here take this…”

*its a small pillow, sock plushie with button eyes, it looks a lot like a sea creature*

“Lacie used to struggle with nightmares too so I made her this, maybe it could help you too?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her ears flickered as a wide smiles grew on her face

“It reminds me of ms.bunny”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*a warm smile grew on his face*

“Glad you like it kid!”

“Now…it’s best get back to work, these files won’t sort themselves heh”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She smiled

“Yeah…yeah, I have a plushie like this, it’s a bunny. Had her since I was baby. Dad had to stitch it up all the time”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Awww!”

“Y’know before urbanshade, lace used to have this plush that she took with her everywhere, she called it mr squish. I remember it being nearly twice her size when she’d carry it around… she used to be so little… that plush was one of the last few things I gave to her before…any of this happened…”

*he had a somber nostalgia in his eyes*

“I wonder if that plush is still around on the surface…”

“Oh well…”

*his focus returned to the data*

[un3asy-all1ance]

“I’d hope so!” She smiled

“I was a super small baby, I could fit in the palm of my papa’s hands. Though apparently I was pretty violent too, hissing and biting like a little kitten.” She giggled laying back down

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastian chuckled*

“I remember how small lace used to be, definitely not as small as you but still. She was adorable. Nothings really changed much in that sense now that I think about it”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She giggled

“Yeah, I’d imagine so.”

She turned into her back

“I can’t believe in almost 15!”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“15 years huh. That’s great kid, hope you have a happy birthday”

*sebastian seemed to be growing in exhaustion but he ignored it for now and continued sorting through files, that was until he yawned and it caught him off guard*

“Anyway kid… it’s getting late, well for me at least. I don’t know if time works differently or not in your universe heh, but uh I need to rest now. I’ll be honest it’s been nice to have company down in the shop”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

Sif snuck into Ph! sebastian's shop and hid ready to pop out and scare anyone.

( @sif-solace )

*sebastian was tending to his wares and sorting through files. It would seem that he hasn’t noticed Sif’s presence. A walkie was placed close to where Sebastian was working, it seemed to be active*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Sif had a devious little smiled sneaking through corners staring at them with her big blue eyes she giggled

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastians ears flicked in response to the giggling. He turned around to see where it was coming from*

“Hello? Is someone there?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She continued to hide ducking behind some crates and boxed peeking through the cracks

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastian seemed slightly annoyed by the intrusion as he began looking around his shop*

“I know you’re in here…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her tail gently swished as she chirped staying as quiet as she could

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he continued searching amongst the boxes and junk he had in his shop his poor eyesight certainly didn’t help*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Sif didn’t exactly have the greatest eyesight either…but she could sense him.

She scurried around making slight movements to try and stay out of sight

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*Sebastian noticed one of the boxes moving and approached it cautiously unaware of the lurking prankster*

“Gotcha…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She waited slowly shifting to a different part of the boxes

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*He pulled the boxes out hoping to reveal the little stowaway*

“HAHA! Wait…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She gasped

“Awhhhh man…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Sif!?”

*a look of shock a bemusement was evident on Sebastian’s face*

“What are you doing here kid?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Uh….is this not…?”

She looked up at him

“Well fuck. I should’ve known since you’re not as tall as him…and plus he’s…not in a good mood right now…” she frowned

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Damn, I’m sorry to hear that kid… well if you want to talk about it I’m here, but if not then feel free to stay as long as you’d like! Though I can’t promise I’ll be good company. Not exactly the best person to be around”

*he chuckled*

[un3asy-all1ance]

“That’s okay, I deal with mine all the time, well all my life. He’s older and grumpier than you are most of the time.” She giggled

“I dunno really what to talk about. I don’t know why he’s upset. So I left to give him a break from my antics.”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Well knowing that he is a variant of me I can tell you that yeah it’s great to have breaks from things sometimes or to have a bit of space to ourselves…”

*he thought for a moment*

“but sometimes the stress and upsets may be from frustration with ourselves rather than from the people around us…”

“This is mostly speculation but Maybe he did something or didn’t do something and that’s what’s bothering him?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She shrugged

“Maybe?” She shrugged

“He’s been trying to balance getting us out and my birthday stuff…and just taking care of me, maybe…” her ears drooped for a moment

“Oh…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at sif to see what was wrong*

“Kid, Whats up?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She covered part of the bandages on her waist

“I got attacked and my pincer severed..like the last one. And….uh he couldn’t get to me in time, so not only did I have a severed pincer but a uh bloody nose maybe a few broken ribs? I dunno I passed out back in the shop. Maybe he’s upset about that, this happened….not that long ago…I know I probably shouldn’t be up n moving but who cares” she shrugged

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*Sebastian sighed*

“No wonder he’s upset kid, I can’t imagine how frustrated with himself he must be.”

“Knowing me…er him, he probably blames himself for it.

“sometimes some things are out of our control and there’s not much we can do to go back and change them. All we can do is focus on what has happened and that you’re okay and alive”

“Though in my earnest opinion, and as a dad myself, you should probably be resting, broken ribs aren’t really something you can walk off”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Yeah…that is true…”

She dropped her ears “I don’t want to rest, I’ve done it before. Plenty of times!”

“Probably doesn’t help I also had an asthma attack…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Probably, but you can’t blame yourself for that kid…”

*his ear fins twitched*

“Also kid… resting once or twice won’t magically make the pain and injury go away.”

“ I get that you want to help your dad I really do, but if you don’t rest properly then you could get worse and maybe worry him more”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Here are dropped downwards

“I…guess so…” she huffed

“I don’t wanna go back right now”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*his expression softened*

“It’s alright kid, if you want I can grab you some pillows and blankets if that’ll help at all.”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She looked up at him a little guiltily

“Yes please….i didn’t mention it earlier but…he also went into that….state too. Like me n you. It was uh…scary to say the least.”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“I see… hopefully everything’s okay, and like I said you’re free to stay here as long as you need kid.”

*he reached up to the balcony in his shop, grabbed some blankets and pillows and passed them over to Sif*

“I know it can be very scary to be around anyone like that.”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Yeah…when I was little he did and…ah…being as small as I was, easily broken….”

She took the blankets wrapping herself up in them

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at her with sympathy*

“I can imagine that growing up with that your whole life wasn’t easy”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“No…ontop of testing…after testing…never was a break…and then Anderson….the director…” she frowned

“I hated it….i hated every second I was locked in that cage or strapped to a chair ‘22 can you tell us what you see?’ Or ‘22 can you talk to us to make sure your brain still functions…’ my dad tried…and I know he didn’t…truly want me, he might’ve taken me in but that’s just because he felt bad for me…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“I get it kid… urbanshade shouldn’t even be testing on children in the first place… and stress and pain like that will do a number on anyone, make it seem like the world doesn’t want you…but from what I know about your dad and from how I’ve seen you two interact, Of course he wanted you kid! You’re his daughter and If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be fighting tooth and nail to keep you safe!”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She gently nodded laying down

“Yeah…that’s…true but it’s not my fault I was born here…I say born, wasn’t really born I- came from a tube and artificial womb.”

She sighed

“I’m getting all sappy and negative…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at her with a gentle smile and sighed*

“It’s alright kid, sometimes it’s good to get things off your chest”

“Now get some rest, even if it’s just 15 minute nap any rest is better than none”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Right…right…is Lacie around?” She asked

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Unfortunately she’s hanging out with painter right now, sorry kid”

“Though they did tell me about half an hour ago that they were both playing chess… which I can only imagine how well that’s going considering neither of them know how to play chess…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She giggled

“Well, I’m not very good at chess either…” she smiled

“Thank you again, sir.”

She laid her head down

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“It’s no problem kid”

*a soft smile appeared on his face. He returned back to sorting through documents, content and happy*

[un3asy-all1ance]

She drifted to sleep for about an hour or two… tossing and turning

Before the bolted upwards in a gasp and cold sweat

“Fuck…”

She muttered

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Kid?”

*sebastian placed his documents down and turned his attention to Sif*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her breathing was heavy as she wiped the sweat from her face

[un3asy-all1ance]

She looked up at him a little guiltily

“Yes please….i didn’t mention it earlier but…he also went into that….state too. Like me n you. It was uh…scary to say the least.”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“I see… hopefully everything’s okay, and like I said you’re free to stay here as long as you need kid.”

*he reached up to the balcony in his shop, grabbed some blankets and pillows and passed them over to Sif*

“I know it can be very scary to be around anyone like that.”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Yeah…when I was little he did and…ah…being as small as I was, easily broken….”

She took the blankets wrapping herself up in them

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at her with sympathy*

“I can imagine that growing up with that your whole life wasn’t easy”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“No…ontop of testing…after testing…never was a break…and then Anderson….the director…” she frowned

“I hated it….i hated every second I was locked in that cage or strapped to a chair ‘22 can you tell us what you see?’ Or ‘22 can you talk to us to make sure your brain still functions…’ my dad tried…and I know he didn’t…truly want me, he might’ve taken me in but that’s just because he felt bad for me…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“I get it kid… urbanshade shouldn’t even be testing on children in the first place… and stress and pain like that will do a number on anyone, make it seem like the world doesn’t want you…but from what I know about your dad and from how I’ve seen you two interact, Of course he wanted you kid! You’re his daughter and If he didn’t, he wouldn’t be fighting tooth and nail to keep you safe!”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She gently nodded laying down

“Yeah…that’s…true but it’s not my fault I was born here…I say born, wasn’t really born I- came from a tube and artificial womb.”

She sighed

“I’m getting all sappy and negative…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at her with a gentle smile and sighed*

“It’s alright kid, sometimes it’s good to get things off your chest”

“Now get some rest, even if it’s just 15 minute nap any rest is better than none”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Right…right…is Lacie around?” She asked

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Unfortunately she’s hanging out with painter right now, sorry kid”

“Though they did tell me about half an hour ago that they were both playing chess… which I can only imagine how well that’s going considering neither of them know how to play chess…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She giggled

“Well, I’m not very good at chess either…” she smiled

“Thank you again, sir.”

She laid her head down

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“It’s no problem kid”

*a soft smile appeared on his face. He returned back to sorting through documents, content and happy*

[un3asy-all1ance]

She drifted to sleep for about an hour or two… tossing and turning

Before the bolted upwards in a gasp and cold sweat

“Fuck…”

She muttered

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Kid?”

*sebastian placed his documents down and turned his attention to Sif*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her breathing was heavy as she wiped the sweat from her face

“Y-yeah-?” Her eyes darted around the room her heart racing and her breaths wonky

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“You alright?”

*he looked at her with concern*

[un3asy-all1ance]

She blinked a bit rapidly before clearing her throat and trying to catch some air

“Y-yeah, why?” She nervously smiled

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Just looked like you had a nightmare is all kid… just wanting to make sure you’re okay”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Y-yeah…I did…”

“S-sorry”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he sighed and grabbed something from the balcony*

“Here take this…”

*its a small pillow, sock plushie with button eyes, it looks a lot like a sea creature*

“Lacie used to struggle with nightmares too so I made her this, maybe it could help you too?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her ears flickered as a wide smiles grew on her face

“It reminds me of ms.bunny”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*a warm smile grew on his face*

“Glad you like it kid!”

“Now…it’s best get back to work, these files won’t sort themselves heh”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

Sif snuck into Ph! sebastian's shop and hid ready to pop out and scare anyone.

( @sif-solace )

*sebastian was tending to his wares and sorting through files. It would seem that he hasn’t noticed Sif’s presence. A walkie was placed close to where Sebastian was working, it seemed to be active*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Sif had a devious little smiled sneaking through corners staring at them with her big blue eyes she giggled

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastians ears flicked in response to the giggling. He turned around to see where it was coming from*

“Hello? Is someone there?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She continued to hide ducking behind some crates and boxed peeking through the cracks

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*sebastian seemed slightly annoyed by the intrusion as he began looking around his shop*

“I know you’re in here…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Her tail gently swished as she chirped staying as quiet as she could

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he continued searching amongst the boxes and junk he had in his shop his poor eyesight certainly didn’t help*

[un3asy-all1ance]

Sif didn’t exactly have the greatest eyesight either…but she could sense him.

She scurried around making slight movements to try and stay out of sight

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*Sebastian noticed one of the boxes moving and approached it cautiously unaware of the lurking prankster*

“Gotcha…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She waited slowly shifting to a different part of the boxes

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*He pulled the boxes out hoping to reveal the little stowaway*

“HAHA! Wait…”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She gasped

“Awhhhh man…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Sif!?”

*a look of shock a bemusement was evident on Sebastian’s face*

“What are you doing here kid?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Uh….is this not…?”

She looked up at him

“Well fuck. I should’ve known since you’re not as tall as him…and plus he’s…not in a good mood right now…” she frowned

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Damn, I’m sorry to hear that kid… well if you want to talk about it I’m here, but if not then feel free to stay as long as you’d like! Though I can’t promise I’ll be good company. Not exactly the best person to be around”

*he chuckled*

[un3asy-all1ance]

“That’s okay, I deal with mine all the time, well all my life. He’s older and grumpier than you are most of the time.” She giggled

“I dunno really what to talk about. I don’t know why he’s upset. So I left to give him a break from my antics.”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Well knowing that he is a variant of me I can tell you that yeah it’s great to have breaks from things sometimes or to have a bit of space to ourselves…”

*he thought for a moment*

“but sometimes the stress and upsets may be from frustration with ourselves rather than from the people around us…”

“This is mostly speculation but Maybe he did something or didn’t do something and that’s what’s bothering him?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She shrugged

“Maybe?” She shrugged

“He’s been trying to balance getting us out and my birthday stuff…and just taking care of me, maybe…” her ears drooped for a moment

“Oh…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*he looked at sif to see what was wrong*

“Kid, Whats up?”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She covered part of the bandages on her waist

“I got attacked and my pincer severed..like the last one. And….uh he couldn’t get to me in time, so not only did I have a severed pincer but a uh bloody nose maybe a few broken ribs? I dunno I passed out back in the shop. Maybe he’s upset about that, this happened….not that long ago…I know I probably shouldn’t be up n moving but who cares” she shrugged

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*Sebastian sighed*

“No wonder he’s upset kid, I can’t imagine how frustrated with himself he must be.”

“Knowing me…er him, he probably blames himself for it.

“sometimes some things are out of our control and there’s not much we can do to go back and change them. All we can do is focus on what has happened and that you’re okay and alive”

“Though in my earnest opinion, and as a dad myself, you should probably be resting, broken ribs aren’t really something you can walk off”

[un3asy-all1ance]

“Yeah…that is true…”

She dropped her ears “I don’t want to rest, I’ve done it before. Plenty of times!”

“Probably doesn’t help I also had an asthma attack…”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

“Probably, but you can’t blame yourself for that kid…”

*his ear fins twitched*

“Also kid… resting once or twice won’t magically make the pain and injury go away.”

“ I get that you want to help your dad I really do, but if you don’t rest properly then you could get worse and maybe worry him more”

[un3asy-all1ance]

Here are dropped downwards

“I…guess so…” she huffed

“I don’t wanna go back right now”

[ask-lacie-and-seb]

*his expression softened*

“It’s alright kid, if you want I can grab you some pillows and blankets if that’ll help at all.”

[un3asy-all1ance]

She looked up at him a little guiltily
