Congratulations on the removal of the parasite and rhe removal of stress.

"Casting judgement on others is a sin, mayhaps you should hold your tongue. May God help you see that. I have a date to go on, if you'll pardon me."

[blackwidowbrando]

She's absolutely thriving right now, pores clean, no family bothering her, no Eijiro, no problems ꈍᆽꈍ

[blackwidowbrando]

Woe, tiny Ethyl be upon ye

[ask-a-guard-dog]

Two more people seem to pull up to the building, a small bundle in one of their arms. (blackwidowbrando)

Steven shoved his glasses back up his nose as he opened the door, more people? He was clearly starting to get a little overwhelmed, "Hi there? I mean, hello, how can we help you? This is a secure sight, so we can't allow unauthorized personnel, but if you need help, I'm sure we can do something for you."

(( @blackwidowbrando ))

[blackwidowbrando]

"Where's my brother you f-"

Yoshi stops her. "We were just looking for someone, we have a gift to deliver and we were wondering if you could help us. I apologize, my wife's just feeling a bit of hormonal stress, new mom and all."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"your brother... Did Seline call you? I thought she only called his wife," that was the only reasonable explanation he could reach.

[blackwidowbrando]

"No, you know that's no-"

"We're looking for Eijiro... We'd heard from the foundation they'd found him..."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"... Eijiro?"

A voice asked from well behind Stevie.

[blackwidowbrando]

"Eijiro. My brother." Tea responds, as if she's choking back words.

"We have a gift for him... We'd really like to be able to give it to him."

The tiny bundle in the woman's arms begins to babble softly, reaching up at everyone.

[ask-a-guard-dog]

A very bedraggled looking Akira ran up to where everyone was and tried to tackle Stevie. The young man dove out of the way as Akira angrily pointed a finger at him, “EXPLAIN.”

[blackwidowbrando]

The couple jumps back a little in shock, Matcha softly babbling and giggling as he sucks on a fist.

“Akira...? I thought you stayed home for Christmas?”

[blackwidowbrando]

Tea hums softly to Matcha as they stand in the front room, waiting.

[blackwidowbrando]

Ethyl, Eijiro's safe, the Foundation has him.

“Then I don’t have to worry about that anymore... Good. May God help him on his journey...

 ...And may God forgive me as I take mine.”

[blackwidowbrando]

Ooo open it!

"These are... matching sweaters?"

"Yeah... I thought we could match... like a family. You, me, and Matcha."

"Yoshi..."

"Aw, hey don't cry...!" He holds her close. "I got another one ready, but that one's for... well, c'mon. Let's go for a little ride."

[blackwidowbrando]

So you and Yoshi got together? Congrats

Tea looks up as Yoshi enters the room again. "Is he sleeping okay now?"

"Mhm, he's out like a light. We have... about a couple hours of naptime." He chuckles.

"Good. I'm still..."

"I know, Taeko... Let's try to enjoy Christmas for now, at least. Is your mom coming up?"

She nods quietly. "She wanted to spend the holidays with some of us, at least... I'm sad we couldn't get home for Christmas... get... him home for..."

"Hey hey hey hey, it's okay, alright? We'll make this work. I uh... got something for us."

Tea looks at him curiously as he produces a package from behind him.

"Go ahead... open it, it's an early gift."

[blackwidowbrando]

You guys are going to get Eijiro, right? No one there seems too worried about it.

"We are worried, we just..." Nozomi sighs. "We have no goddamn clue where he is, or how to get him back without resorting to illegal methods. On top of that, Tea can't constantly be screaming and crying in worry, she has a kid to take care of. We have to be certain about what we're going to do.

My days of being an overly impulsive hothead are over, have been for a while."

[blackwidowbrando]

Awe, baby

Matcha yawns, rubbing his little eyes with his fists balled up.

"Oop, looks like someone's awake." Yoshi chuckles.

"Oh, helloooo sleepyhead! Yea, so sleepy. Ohhh, such a cutiepie! Nozomi's here, too, you wanna say hi? Say, "Hi auncle Nozomi"! Aww..."

The baby babbles a bit. "Bb... aa... nnlmmm..." he hums as sucks on his fist.

"Hey, kiddo."

"A- Mm... aaammmm... Ma... Mama."

[blackwidowbrando]

Matcha?

"Hm... Did he eat at all before you left?" She holds the boy in her arms gently.

"Mhm... Ate the whole bowlful I gave him. I got some more diapers, baby medicine just in case, a couple toys from a gift shop we passed by..."

"Yoshi..."

"They weren't expensive! Promise. I also got you some pads and some snacks." He places a kiss on her forehead.

"You're a real blessing, sometimes..."

[blackwidowbrando]

Tea sits on the bed, face soured considerably as she types on a keyboard. “Need to find them... Can’t we sue them or something?! Charge them for kidnapping, at the very least. I wanna smash that goddamn doctor’s face in, only letting us “visit” our own family like he’s some wild animal...”

Nozomi sighs, closing the book after dog earing the page. “Listen, I’m looking through the laws right now, not exactly the same as Japanese law. I... I get you’re upset, I really do, but freaking out isn’t gonna help us find him. Or assault, then they can have due reason to make sure we never see him.”

“I don’t care, Nozomi!” she throws her hands up, “I want my brother back, god damn it! I want this stupid nightmare to be over! What stupid, nasty god keeps doing this to us, huh?! Why can’t he just be happy! Why?!”

She slumps onto the bed, sobbing quietly.

“I’m back... oh- um...” The man sets down a baby carrier, retrieving one of the shopping bags from his arm and offering her some chocolate and a small pack of tissues.

“Matcha’s asleep now... took a couple trips to some stores... but he’s out like a light, now.”

[ask-a-guard-dog]

There's a rather angry call passed onto Cross from the front management. (blackwidowbrando)

Cross took a deep breath. She'd been preparing for this ever since they'd moved Eijiro from the facility to try and hide him, "Good morning, Dr. Mariana Cross speaking. How can I help you?"

(( @blackwidowbrando ))

[blackwidowbrando]

"Where the fuck is my brother, doctor." Tea grips the stress toy she'd taken from the front office a while ago, its poor face straining.

[ask-a-guard-dog]

Another deep breath, "I'm not sure. We tried to move him to a safe house, but he and Umbra were intercepted on the way despite efforts to throw the group after him off."

[blackwidowbrando]

"You... what." Her voice strains.

"Maybe I didn't hear you right. You said that you tried to move him... and you let Umbra do the job. And she lost him. Am I hearing you right, doctor?"

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"They were, from my understanding, attacked, and Eijiro was taken from her."

[blackwidowbrando]

"Just... Wonderful," she spits out, "really, such outstanding services, doctor. I really feel like you all care about his well being, truly."

The sounds of things being thrown off of a desk can be heard, along with an anguished scream, brimming with rage.

"What the fuck is wrong with you people?!"

[ask-a-guard-dog]

The line went silent for a second. Dr. Cross came back after a minute, "We're working on trying to get Eijiro back out, but it's difficult. This was done behind the Foundation's back. We went behind their back, specifically."

[blackwidowbrando]

"Who took him? I want names, numbers, addresses. They could be torturing him right now."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"I can get one of them on the phone."

[blackwidowbrando]

"If you would."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"Okay, just hang on a second..."

There was a long pause before someone else got on the line, "Yellow?"

[blackwidowbrando]

"Where is my brother. I know you have him. The "jackal" or whatever you call him."

[ask-a-guard-dog]

"Eijiro's at our team's facility. I need to give him a proper check up."

[blackwidowbrando]

"Can I at least see him?"

[ask-a-guard-dog]
