[voltageishighagain]

(There’s a small voice from the radio, one that sounds almost frustrated and upset)

-Volts?-

@wickedkilljoy

"Wicked! Hey, what's wrong?" Volts responds immediately.

[wickedkilljoy]

-The range is too loud. Can I hang out with you instead?-

(The wobble gives away that it’s more than just too loud)

[voltageishighagain]

"Of course. I'll come pick you up."

[wickedkilljoy]

-I already walked away… I’m on the sand track towards the rescue.-

(Wicked stops walking momentarily as it talks)

[voltageishighagain]

"I'll be there soon." Volts cuts out.

Dagger's car pulls up next to Wicked soon enough, Volts rolling down the window. "Hey, Wicked!"

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked wasn’t to hard to spot, neon green leggings and zeir polkadot tee and green jacket that matches its green trainers. It gives Volts a wave, but waits for permission to move)

[voltageishighagain]

Volts leans over and opens the passenger door. "You can get in."

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked clambers in and shuts the door)

Thank you.

[voltageishighagain]

"You want to drive around or go to me and Dagger's place?" Volts asks.

[wickedkilljoy]

Umm…

(Wicked thinks)

Can we go somewhere?

[voltageishighagain]

"Yeah! Where you wanna go?"

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked thinks about it for a minute, realising it lives in one of the only places to go)

I guess there’s only the market?

[voltageishighagain]

"We can go to the market." She nods, driving off.

She's quiet for a moment before she finally speaks.

"Do you want to talk about why the range is so loud? Or just hang out?"

[wickedkilljoy]

Maybe later.

(Wicked says after a long moment of silence)

[voltageishighagain]

"Sounds good."

Soon enough she pulls up at the market, parking.

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked looks about from the car, thinking)

I haven’t really been in a while…

(In truth, it doesn’t remember if it has)

[voltageishighagain]

"Do you like sweet stuffs?" Volts asks, getting out and opening the car door for it.

[wickedkilljoy]

Mhm.

(Wicked smiles)

Gumdrop shared some with me last time I was there.

[voltageishighagain]

Volts smiles, walking with Wicked directly to the sweets stand.

"Pick whatever you want."

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked lights up a little at that, looking at the different sweets and picking out some purple and pink ones)

Can I have these ones please?

[voltageishighagain]

Volts nods, grabbing a fudge for herself and paying for both.

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked seems to almost judder, half glitch momentarily before looking about again)

[voltageishighagain]

Volts looks confused, but doesn't mention anything. "Wanna walk around for a lil? Or is there a specific stall you wanna see?"

[wickedkilljoy]

Umm… I don’t know. You pick.

(Wicked suggests, a familiar dizziness washing over it)

[voltageishighagain]

"Hmm... We can walk a little." Volts says, starting to walk.

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked follows, taking in all the different stalls. Indecision is still a problem)

[voltageishighagain]

Volts walks slower than usual, matching Wicked's pace.

"There's a wood carving place if you'd like to look at it!"

[wickedkilljoy]

(That catches its attention)

Wood carving?

[voltageishighagain]

"Yeah! It's full of all kinds of shi—stuff!"

Volts smiles. "Wanna go check it out?"

[wickedkilljoy]

(There’s an almost wicked grin at the almost curse)

Yea! I want to see…

[voltageishighagain]

Volts takes zem over to the booth with all the wood carved things.

[wickedkilljoy]

(Wicked stares at the little hand carved animals, the carved earrings, not touching but clearly liking them)

Woah…

[voltageishighagain]

Volts smiles. "Cool, right?"

[calcifying-membrane]

(Wicked nods, pointing at a cat carving. This catches Membrane’s attention)

You like that one?

Yea… it’s pretty.

It took some time to make, but the results are definitely worth it.

[voltageishighagain]

"It's shiny." Volts smiles.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane smiles, showing Wicked some other things as well)

May I have the cat… and the frog, please?

Sure thing. Does the joy you’re with want anything?

[voltageishighagain]

"I'm good." Volts shakes her head politely.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Wicked hands over the carbons from a small pocket in zeir jacket, smiling at the cat and frog. It then hands more over for a beautifully sculpted rat and signs thanks)

No problem kid.

(Wicked turns away then, still looking for other things. A bead stall, the clothes stall, and a stall with berries catches its eye)

[voltageishighagain]

(There’s a small voice from the radio, one that sounds almost frustrated and upset)

Yea… it’s pretty.

It took some time to make, but the results are definitely worth it.

[calcifying-membrane]

"Puffball?" Bio asks, knocking on the door to Membrane's bungalow.

@bio-toxins

(Membrane gets the door in a blue wavy tee and black cycling shorts that show off their muscles, with ankle boots. Membranes makeup has clearly just been taken off, and dey smile upon seeing Bio)

Hey!

[bio-toxins]

One hand is on his steering wheel, the other on his lap.

Soon enough they pull up to the mansion, where he gets out and opens the door for dem.

[calcifying-membrane]

Thank you, thank you.

(Ae get out and hug him for a moment, kissing his forehead before taking his hand)

Onward- to food!

[motor-trix]

The moment they walk into the kitchen, Trix is busy making multiple foods.

They've got rock music playing from their radio, with seasoned Powerpup meatballs and spaghetti being cooked in one pot and their famous stuffed mushrooms being assembled currently, other pots and pans with stuff in them also around.

Trix waves.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey wave back, taking a long sniff in and practically drooling)

Mmmmmmm… all mine.

[motor-trix]

Trix laughs. "Want the rundown of what I've got?"

[calcifying-membrane]

I’d love it.

(Ae casually change from holding hands to putting an arm round his duckling)

[motor-trix]

Trix hums. "Spaghetti with tomato sauce and seasoned Powerpup meatballs. My stuffed mushrooms with ground turkey and cheese. Brussels cooked in bacon and garlic. Bean soup. Oh and bread pudding with pecans and bourbon brown sugar sauce!"

They finish stuffing the mushrooms and put them in the oven and go back to cooking.

Bio mutters 'damn.'

[calcifying-membrane]

Well damn… shame I’m eating all of it by myself.

(Dey’re obviously joking)

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Shame."

Bio jokes about offering help, to which Trix pins him with a glare. He laughs and mutters he's joking.

[calcifying-membrane]

Careful now duck, Trix’ll have you roasted.

(Membrane jokes)

[bio-toxins]

Bio laughs. "Awh, man...."

"it'd suck to tenderize your muscle-y self." Trix mutters.

[calcifying-membrane]

I wouldn’t let ‘em, but they might best me.

(It casually flexes out the other arms muscles)

[motor-trix]

Bio laughs and Trix smiles before checking their stuffed mushrooms in the oven. They grab a kitchen towel and pull the tray out before radioing each member and saying to come eat as they grab plates with their free hand.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae let Bio go first, looking at it all)

I can take some to Scotch if he doesn’t feel like coming down?

[motor-trix]

"I'll go ask." Trix says, walking off.

They come down with Scotch a moment later, who's obviously feeling better. He ruffles Trix's hair and gets in line with Plasma, Pixie, Honey, Bio. He waves at Membrane and offers to let aem go in front of him.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae do go in front, signing thanks to him and joining the queue)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch nods and smiles. "How you doing, Membrane?"

Trix gets in line behind him, the last person to get food. Everyone is buzzing and talking and happy as they fill their plates and thank Trix on their way to the living area to lounge and eat.

[calcifying-membrane]

I’m doing alright! A little banged up, but I’ll be fine soon enough… how’ve you been?

(Ae grin a little as they load a plate and offer to help load his)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch smiles and declines the help, filling his own plate with the spaghetti meatballs and the brussels along with a singular stuffed mushroom.

"Hear ya. Let us know if we can help. I've been doing just fine. I went out and bought Trix some paint today since my hips felt up to it."

Trix smiles behind him and loads up her plate.

[calcifying-membrane]

Nice! What paints did you get?

(Ae ask with its plate carrying one of everything)

[devils-scotch]

"I got a couple blues and blacks and greens. It's what the stall had most of today." He shrugs, sitting in a nice plush recliner. Plasma and Honey are on the 3 person couch next to it, Pixie is in a loveseat, and Bio is in another 3 person couch across from the loveseat.

Trix sits in an office chair between Plasma and Scotch.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane stays standing, eating slow)

Shiny. I would’ve been there, but I ditched way early…

[devils-scotch]

"That's alright." Scotch shrugs, putting the leg rest up a little.

[calcifying-membrane]

Least you didn’t see any of the chaos.

(Ae shrug, before shoving a large mouthful of food down deir gullet like it hasn’t eaten since last week)

[devils-scotch]

"That bad, huh?" Scotch mutters, taking slow bites of his food.

Everybody else is talking and laughing with each other. Trix is eerily quiet as they eat. They never really have much to say, but this is quiet even for them.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane keeps half an eye on Trix, observing with concern ae mask by continuing to talk to Scotch)

Oh, it was that bad. Absolute nonsense. Fighting and stuff.

[devils-scotch]

"Hear ya." Scotch nods, eating quietly.

Trix eats slowly, not bothering to speak.

[calcifying-membrane]

‘S the last time I try to help.

(Ae frown a little to aemself)

Enjoying your food, Trix?

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Mhm. I made it." They give a little smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

Which makes it a million percent tastier.

(Ae smile, still eating)

[motor-trix]

"Mhm..." Trix takes another bite.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane switches aer weight to the other leg, enjoying being with all of them. Ae would never admit to feeling like dey have a family here, only because ae miss its own family still- nothing ever admitted out loud of course)

[bio-toxins]

Bio gestures at Membrane to his seat, a silent offer.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sigh, grinning at Scotch before going and sitting down)

Hi duck.

[bio-toxins]

"Mmmmm.... Puffball." He smiles, scooting closer

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae grin, eating more food)

Missed you.

[bio-toxins]

A loud dramatic sigh. "Missed you, too."

Trix rolls their eyes.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae roll deir eyes right back while eating)

Food good.

[bio-toxins]

Bio nods. "Very good. Thank you for cooking, Trix!"

Trix mutters a tiny 'no problem' with a small smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae smile, finishing deir plate and resting it on aer knee for a moment)

That hit the spot.

[bio-toxins]

"Didn't it, though?" Scotch smiles. "Trix always cooks well."

"They do." Bio nods.

[calcifying-membrane]

My stomach definitely agrees!

(Membrane smiles at Trix, mildly concerned at their quietness now)

[motor-trix]

"Have as much as you guys want." Trix mutters, mustering a semi-bright smile.

Bio gets up, ruffles their hair, and grabs more food. "It's all mine!"

"I will eat leftovers, but I've taken some meds." Scotch explains sadly.

"That's fine." Trix nods, not sounding too sad at the fact he's not eating much tonight.

[calcifying-membrane]

Woah hold up!

(Membrane immediately goes to grab more food, poking Bio lightly)

You can’t just have all of it!

[bio-toxins]

"Yes I can!" Bio grins, poking dem back as he stacks his plate with plenty of food.

[calcifying-membrane]

Not if I have all of it first!

(Ae happily continue loading its own plate, before sitting down again. There isn’t much on this second helping, but that’s just because ae’re getting full and tired)

[bio-toxins]

Bio sits down and starts eating, very happy.

Trix gets a second plate to eat, and then everyone else does.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey continue eating, listening to everything around instead of talking now- its long day beginning to have effects)

[bio-toxins]

Pixie arguing about how overly sugared things are better than overly salted things, and how drugs aren't that bad, with Plasma.

Scotch is talking about groceries and art supplies with Trix, waiting several minutes between each sentence for Trix's response.

Honey is quietly eating, occasionally jumping in with Plasma and Pixie.

Bio is eating, one hand rubbing circles on Membrane's shoulder.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae just listen still, eyes a little droopy now)

[bio-toxins]

"Bio keeps rubbing little circles on aer shoulder, eating quietly.

The conversations bounce around some more.

[calcifying-membrane]

Mmm…

(Ae rest the plate on one knee before leaning against Bio)

[bio-toxins]

"Do you want me to take you home or have you sleep in my room?" Bio whispers.

[calcifying-membrane]

Can I sleep in your bed?

(Ae ask quietly, holding back a yawn)

[bio-toxins]

"Always." Bio nods. "Want me to come with?"

[calcifying-membrane]

Only if you’re ready…?

(Ae sigh, very sleepy)

[bio-toxins]

"C'mon." Bio smiles, kissing aer cheek and standing up, saying he's tired to the group. They all wish him bye.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae wave a little to the group as dey stand up and follow him)

Mmmm…

[bio-toxins]

Bio smiles and leads aem up to his room, opening the door and sitting on the plush bed.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sit next to him and immediately curls up)

Hi…

[bio-toxins]

He pulls aem closer. "Mmm... Hi..."

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey smile immediately, trying to melt into him)

I love you.

[bio-toxins]

"Love you, too." Bio smiles, kissing deir forehead.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae hum, interrupted by a yawn as it snuggles up)

Mm…

[bio-toxins]

He runs a hand through aer hair, pulling the blanket up over them both.

[calcifying-membrane]

Night…

(Membrane mumbles as ae cuddle close, breathing in his scent and sounding half asleep already)

[bio-toxins]

Bio pushes hair out from Membrane's face, muttering a soft "goodnight."

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey start to breathe more deeply, drifting off to sleep)

[calcifying-membrane]

"Puffball?" Bio asks, knocking on the door to Membrane's bungalow.

@bio-toxins

(Membrane gets the door in a blue wavy tee and black cycling shorts that show off their muscles, with ankle boots. Membranes makeup has clearly just been taken off, and dey smile upon seeing Bio)

Hey!

[bio-toxins]

One hand is on his steering wheel, the other on his lap.

Hi duck.

[bio-toxins]

"Mmmmm.... Puffball." He smiles, scooting closer

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae grin, eating more food)

Missed you.

[bio-toxins]

A loud dramatic sigh. "Missed you, too."

Trix rolls their eyes.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae roll deir eyes right back while eating)

Food good.

[bio-toxins]

Bio nods. "Very good. Thank you for cooking, Trix!"

Trix mutters a tiny 'no problem' with a small smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae smile, finishing deir plate and resting it on aer knee for a moment)

That hit the spot.

[bio-toxins]

"Didn't it, though?" Scotch smiles. "Trix always cooks well."

"They do." Bio nods.

[calcifying-membrane]

My stomach definitely agrees!

(Membrane smiles at Trix, mildly concerned at their quietness now)

[motor-trix]

"Have as much as you guys want." Trix mutters, mustering a semi-bright smile.

Bio gets up, ruffles their hair, and grabs more food. "It's all mine!"

"I will eat leftovers, but I've taken some meds." Scotch explains sadly.

"That's fine." Trix nods, not sounding too sad at the fact he's not eating much tonight.

[calcifying-membrane]

Woah hold up!

(Membrane immediately goes to grab more food, poking Bio lightly)

You can’t just have all of it!

[bio-toxins]

"Yes I can!" Bio grins, poking dem back as he stacks his plate with plenty of food.

[calcifying-membrane]

Not if I have all of it first!

(Ae happily continue loading its own plate, before sitting down again. There isn’t much on this second helping, but that’s just because ae’re getting full and tired)

[bio-toxins]

Bio sits down and starts eating, very happy.

Trix gets a second plate to eat, and then everyone else does.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey continue eating, listening to everything around instead of talking now- its long day beginning to have effects)

[bio-toxins]

Pixie arguing about how overly sugared things are better than overly salted things, and how drugs aren't that bad, with Plasma.

Scotch is talking about groceries and art supplies with Trix, waiting several minutes between each sentence for Trix's response.

Honey is quietly eating, occasionally jumping in with Plasma and Pixie.

Bio is eating, one hand rubbing circles on Membrane's shoulder.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae just listen still, eyes a little droopy now)

[bio-toxins]

"Bio keeps rubbing little circles on aer shoulder, eating quietly.

The conversations bounce around some more.

[calcifying-membrane]

Mmm…

(Ae rest the plate on one knee before leaning against Bio)

[bio-toxins]

"Do you want me to take you home or have you sleep in my room?" Bio whispers.

[calcifying-membrane]

Can I sleep in your bed?

(Ae ask quietly, holding back a yawn)

[bio-toxins]

"Always." Bio nods. "Want me to come with?"

[calcifying-membrane]

Only if you’re ready…?

(Ae sigh, very sleepy)

[bio-toxins]

"C'mon." Bio smiles, kissing aer cheek and standing up, saying he's tired to the group. They all wish him bye.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae wave a little to the group as dey stand up and follow him)

Mmmm…

[bio-toxins]

Bio smiles and leads aem up to his room, opening the door and sitting on the plush bed.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sit next to him and immediately curls up)

Hi…

[bio-toxins]

He pulls aem closer. "Mmm... Hi..."

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey smile immediately, trying to melt into him)

I love you.

[bio-toxins]

"Love you, too." Bio smiles, kissing deir forehead.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae hum, interrupted by a yawn as it snuggles up)

Mm…

[bio-toxins]

He runs a hand through aer hair, pulling the blanket up over them both.

[calcifying-membrane]

Night…

(Membrane mumbles as ae cuddle close, breathing in his scent and sounding half asleep already)

[calcifying-membrane]

"Puffball?" Bio asks, knocking on the door to Membrane's bungalow.

@bio-toxins

(Membrane gets the door in a blue wavy tee and black cycling shorts that show off their muscles, with ankle boots. Membranes makeup has clearly just been taken off, and dey smile upon seeing Bio)

Hey!

[bio-toxins]

One hand is on his steering wheel, the other on his lap.

Soon enough they pull up to the mansion, where he gets out and opens the door for dem.

[calcifying-membrane]

Thank you, thank you.

(Ae get out and hug him for a moment, kissing his forehead before taking his hand)

Onward- to food!

[motor-trix]

The moment they walk into the kitchen, Trix is busy making multiple foods.

They've got rock music playing from their radio, with seasoned Powerpup meatballs and spaghetti being cooked in one pot and their famous stuffed mushrooms being assembled currently, other pots and pans with stuff in them also around.

Trix waves.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey wave back, taking a long sniff in and practically drooling)

Mmmmmmm… all mine.

[motor-trix]

Trix laughs. "Want the rundown of what I've got?"

[calcifying-membrane]

I’d love it.

(Ae casually change from holding hands to putting an arm round his duckling)

[motor-trix]

Trix hums. "Spaghetti with tomato sauce and seasoned Powerpup meatballs. My stuffed mushrooms with ground turkey and cheese. Brussels cooked in bacon and garlic. Bean soup. Oh and bread pudding with pecans and bourbon brown sugar sauce!"

They finish stuffing the mushrooms and put them in the oven and go back to cooking.

Bio mutters 'damn.'

[calcifying-membrane]

Well damn… shame I’m eating all of it by myself.

(Dey’re obviously joking)

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Shame."

Bio jokes about offering help, to which Trix pins him with a glare. He laughs and mutters he's joking.

[calcifying-membrane]

Careful now duck, Trix’ll have you roasted.

(Membrane jokes)

[bio-toxins]

Bio laughs. "Awh, man...."

"it'd suck to tenderize your muscle-y self." Trix mutters.

[calcifying-membrane]

I wouldn’t let ‘em, but they might best me.

(It casually flexes out the other arms muscles)

[motor-trix]

Bio laughs and Trix smiles before checking their stuffed mushrooms in the oven. They grab a kitchen towel and pull the tray out before radioing each member and saying to come eat as they grab plates with their free hand.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae let Bio go first, looking at it all)

I can take some to Scotch if he doesn’t feel like coming down?

[motor-trix]

"I'll go ask." Trix says, walking off.

They come down with Scotch a moment later, who's obviously feeling better. He ruffles Trix's hair and gets in line with Plasma, Pixie, Honey, Bio. He waves at Membrane and offers to let aem go in front of him.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae do go in front, signing thanks to him and joining the queue)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch nods and smiles. "How you doing, Membrane?"

Trix gets in line behind him, the last person to get food. Everyone is buzzing and talking and happy as they fill their plates and thank Trix on their way to the living area to lounge and eat.

[calcifying-membrane]

I’m doing alright! A little banged up, but I’ll be fine soon enough… how’ve you been?

(Ae grin a little as they load a plate and offer to help load his)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch smiles and declines the help, filling his own plate with the spaghetti meatballs and the brussels along with a singular stuffed mushroom.

"Hear ya. Let us know if we can help. I've been doing just fine. I went out and bought Trix some paint today since my hips felt up to it."

Trix smiles behind him and loads up her plate.

[calcifying-membrane]

Nice! What paints did you get?

(Ae ask with its plate carrying one of everything)

[devils-scotch]

"I got a couple blues and blacks and greens. It's what the stall had most of today." He shrugs, sitting in a nice plush recliner. Plasma and Honey are on the 3 person couch next to it, Pixie is in a loveseat, and Bio is in another 3 person couch across from the loveseat.

Trix sits in an office chair between Plasma and Scotch.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane stays standing, eating slow)

Shiny. I would’ve been there, but I ditched way early…

[devils-scotch]

"That's alright." Scotch shrugs, putting the leg rest up a little.

[calcifying-membrane]

Least you didn’t see any of the chaos.

(Ae shrug, before shoving a large mouthful of food down deir gullet like it hasn’t eaten since last week)

[devils-scotch]

"That bad, huh?" Scotch mutters, taking slow bites of his food.

Everybody else is talking and laughing with each other. Trix is eerily quiet as they eat. They never really have much to say, but this is quiet even for them.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane keeps half an eye on Trix, observing with concern ae mask by continuing to talk to Scotch)

Oh, it was that bad. Absolute nonsense. Fighting and stuff.

[devils-scotch]

"Hear ya." Scotch nods, eating quietly.

Trix eats slowly, not bothering to speak.

[calcifying-membrane]

‘S the last time I try to help.

(Ae frown a little to aemself)

Enjoying your food, Trix?

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Mhm. I made it." They give a little smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

Which makes it a million percent tastier.

(Ae smile, still eating)

[motor-trix]

"Mhm..." Trix takes another bite.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane switches aer weight to the other leg, enjoying being with all of them. Ae would never admit to feeling like dey have a family here, only because ae miss its own family still- nothing ever admitted out loud of course)

[bio-toxins]

Bio gestures at Membrane to his seat, a silent offer.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sigh, grinning at Scotch before going and sitting down)

Hi duck.

[bio-toxins]

"Mmmmm.... Puffball." He smiles, scooting closer

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae grin, eating more food)

[bio-toxins]

[motor-trix]

"Have as much as you guys want." Trix mutters, mustering a semi-bright smile.

Bio gets up, ruffles their hair, and grabs more food. "It's all mine!"

"I will eat leftovers, but I've taken some meds." Scotch explains sadly.

"That's fine." Trix nods, not sounding too sad at the fact he's not eating much tonight.

[calcifying-membrane]

Woah hold up!

(Membrane immediately goes to grab more food, poking Bio lightly)

You can’t just have all of it!

[bio-toxins]

"Yes I can!" Bio grins, poking dem back as he stacks his plate with plenty of food.

[calcifying-membrane]

Not if I have all of it first!

(Ae happily continue loading its own plate, before sitting down again. There isn’t much on this second helping, but that’s just because ae’re getting full and tired)

[bio-toxins]

Bio sits down and starts eating, very happy.

Trix gets a second plate to eat, and then everyone else does.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey continue eating, listening to everything around instead of talking now- its long day beginning to have effects)

[bio-toxins]

Pixie arguing about how overly sugared things are better than overly salted things, and how drugs aren't that bad, with Plasma.

Scotch is talking about groceries and art supplies with Trix, waiting several minutes between each sentence for Trix's response.

Honey is quietly eating, occasionally jumping in with Plasma and Pixie.

Bio is eating, one hand rubbing circles on Membrane's shoulder.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae just listen still, eyes a little droopy now)

[bio-toxins]

"Bio keeps rubbing little circles on aer shoulder, eating quietly.

The conversations bounce around some more.

[calcifying-membrane]

Mmm…

(Ae rest the plate on one knee before leaning against Bio)

[bio-toxins]

"Do you want me to take you home or have you sleep in my room?" Bio whispers.

[calcifying-membrane]

Can I sleep in your bed?

(Ae ask quietly, holding back a yawn)

[bio-toxins]

"Always." Bio nods. "Want me to come with?"

[calcifying-membrane]

Only if you’re ready…?

(Ae sigh, very sleepy)

[bio-toxins]

"C'mon." Bio smiles, kissing aer cheek and standing up, saying he's tired to the group. They all wish him bye.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae wave a little to the group as dey stand up and follow him)

Mmmm…

[bio-toxins]

Bio smiles and leads aem up to his room, opening the door and sitting on the plush bed.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sit next to him and immediately curls up)

Hi…

[calcifying-membrane]

"Puffball?" Bio asks, knocking on the door to Membrane's bungalow.

@bio-toxins

(Membrane gets the door in a blue wavy tee and black cycling shorts that show off their muscles, with ankle boots. Membranes makeup has clearly just been taken off, and dey smile upon seeing Bio)

Hey!

[bio-toxins]

One hand is on his steering wheel, the other on his lap.

Soon enough they pull up to the mansion, where he gets out and opens the door for dem.

[calcifying-membrane]

Thank you, thank you.

(Ae get out and hug him for a moment, kissing his forehead before taking his hand)

Onward- to food!

[motor-trix]

The moment they walk into the kitchen, Trix is busy making multiple foods.

They've got rock music playing from their radio, with seasoned Powerpup meatballs and spaghetti being cooked in one pot and their famous stuffed mushrooms being assembled currently, other pots and pans with stuff in them also around.

Trix waves.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey wave back, taking a long sniff in and practically drooling)

Mmmmmmm… all mine.

[motor-trix]

Trix laughs. "Want the rundown of what I've got?"

[calcifying-membrane]

I’d love it.

(Ae casually change from holding hands to putting an arm round his duckling)

[motor-trix]

Trix hums. "Spaghetti with tomato sauce and seasoned Powerpup meatballs. My stuffed mushrooms with ground turkey and cheese. Brussels cooked in bacon and garlic. Bean soup. Oh and bread pudding with pecans and bourbon brown sugar sauce!"

They finish stuffing the mushrooms and put them in the oven and go back to cooking.

Bio mutters 'damn.'

[calcifying-membrane]

Well damn… shame I’m eating all of it by myself.

(Dey’re obviously joking)

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Shame."

Bio jokes about offering help, to which Trix pins him with a glare. He laughs and mutters he's joking.

[calcifying-membrane]

Careful now duck, Trix’ll have you roasted.

(Membrane jokes)

[bio-toxins]

Bio laughs. "Awh, man...."

"it'd suck to tenderize your muscle-y self." Trix mutters.

[calcifying-membrane]

I wouldn’t let ‘em, but they might best me.

(It casually flexes out the other arms muscles)

[motor-trix]

Bio laughs and Trix smiles before checking their stuffed mushrooms in the oven. They grab a kitchen towel and pull the tray out before radioing each member and saying to come eat as they grab plates with their free hand.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae let Bio go first, looking at it all)

I can take some to Scotch if he doesn’t feel like coming down?

[motor-trix]

"I'll go ask." Trix says, walking off.

They come down with Scotch a moment later, who's obviously feeling better. He ruffles Trix's hair and gets in line with Plasma, Pixie, Honey, Bio. He waves at Membrane and offers to let aem go in front of him.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae do go in front, signing thanks to him and joining the queue)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch nods and smiles. "How you doing, Membrane?"

Trix gets in line behind him, the last person to get food. Everyone is buzzing and talking and happy as they fill their plates and thank Trix on their way to the living area to lounge and eat.

[calcifying-membrane]

I’m doing alright! A little banged up, but I’ll be fine soon enough… how’ve you been?

(Ae grin a little as they load a plate and offer to help load his)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch smiles and declines the help, filling his own plate with the spaghetti meatballs and the brussels along with a singular stuffed mushroom.

"Hear ya. Let us know if we can help. I've been doing just fine. I went out and bought Trix some paint today since my hips felt up to it."

Trix smiles behind him and loads up her plate.

[calcifying-membrane]

Nice! What paints did you get?

(Ae ask with its plate carrying one of everything)

[devils-scotch]

"I got a couple blues and blacks and greens. It's what the stall had most of today." He shrugs, sitting in a nice plush recliner. Plasma and Honey are on the 3 person couch next to it, Pixie is in a loveseat, and Bio is in another 3 person couch across from the loveseat.

Trix sits in an office chair between Plasma and Scotch.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane stays standing, eating slow)

Shiny. I would’ve been there, but I ditched way early…

[devils-scotch]

"That's alright." Scotch shrugs, putting the leg rest up a little.

[calcifying-membrane]

Least you didn’t see any of the chaos.

(Ae shrug, before shoving a large mouthful of food down deir gullet like it hasn’t eaten since last week)

[devils-scotch]

"That bad, huh?" Scotch mutters, taking slow bites of his food.

Everybody else is talking and laughing with each other. Trix is eerily quiet as they eat. They never really have much to say, but this is quiet even for them.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane keeps half an eye on Trix, observing with concern ae mask by continuing to talk to Scotch)

Oh, it was that bad. Absolute nonsense. Fighting and stuff.

[devils-scotch]

"Hear ya." Scotch nods, eating quietly.

Trix eats slowly, not bothering to speak.

[calcifying-membrane]

‘S the last time I try to help.

(Ae frown a little to aemself)

Enjoying your food, Trix?

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Mhm. I made it." They give a little smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

Which makes it a million percent tastier.

(Ae smile, still eating)

[motor-trix]

"Mhm..." Trix takes another bite.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane switches aer weight to the other leg, enjoying being with all of them. Ae would never admit to feeling like dey have a family here, only because ae miss its own family still- nothing ever admitted out loud of course)

[bio-toxins]

Bio gestures at Membrane to his seat, a silent offer.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sigh, grinning at Scotch before going and sitting down)

Hi duck.

[bio-toxins]

"Mmmmm.... Puffball." He smiles, scooting closer

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae grin, eating more food)

Missed you.

[bio-toxins]

A loud dramatic sigh. "Missed you, too."

Trix rolls their eyes.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae roll deir eyes right back while eating)

Food good.

[bio-toxins]

Bio nods. "Very good. Thank you for cooking, Trix!"

Trix mutters a tiny 'no problem' with a small smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae smile, finishing deir plate and resting it on aer knee for a moment)

That hit the spot.

[bio-toxins]

"Didn't it, though?" Scotch smiles. "Trix always cooks well."

"They do." Bio nods.

[calcifying-membrane]

My stomach definitely agrees!

(Membrane smiles at Trix, mildly concerned at their quietness now)

They've got rock music playing from their radio, with seasoned Powerpup meatballs and spaghetti being cooked in one pot and their famous stuffed mushrooms being assembled currently, other pots and pans with stuff in them also around.

Trix waves.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey wave back, taking a long sniff in and practically drooling)

Mmmmmmm… all mine.

[motor-trix]

Trix laughs. "Want the rundown of what I've got?"

[calcifying-membrane]

I’d love it.

(Ae casually change from holding hands to putting an arm round his duckling)

[motor-trix]

Trix hums. "Spaghetti with tomato sauce and seasoned Powerpup meatballs. My stuffed mushrooms with ground turkey and cheese. Brussels cooked in bacon and garlic. Bean soup. Oh and bread pudding with pecans and bourbon brown sugar sauce!"

They finish stuffing the mushrooms and put them in the oven and go back to cooking.

Bio mutters 'damn.'

[calcifying-membrane]

Well damn… shame I’m eating all of it by myself.

(Dey’re obviously joking)

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Shame."

Bio jokes about offering help, to which Trix pins him with a glare. He laughs and mutters he's joking.

[calcifying-membrane]

Careful now duck, Trix’ll have you roasted.

(Membrane jokes)

[bio-toxins]

Bio laughs. "Awh, man...."

"it'd suck to tenderize your muscle-y self." Trix mutters.

[calcifying-membrane]

I wouldn’t let ‘em, but they might best me.

(It casually flexes out the other arms muscles)

[motor-trix]

Bio laughs and Trix smiles before checking their stuffed mushrooms in the oven. They grab a kitchen towel and pull the tray out before radioing each member and saying to come eat as they grab plates with their free hand.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae let Bio go first, looking at it all)

I can take some to Scotch if he doesn’t feel like coming down?

[motor-trix]

"I'll go ask." Trix says, walking off.

They come down with Scotch a moment later, who's obviously feeling better. He ruffles Trix's hair and gets in line with Plasma, Pixie, Honey, Bio. He waves at Membrane and offers to let aem go in front of him.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae do go in front, signing thanks to him and joining the queue)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch nods and smiles. "How you doing, Membrane?"

Trix gets in line behind him, the last person to get food. Everyone is buzzing and talking and happy as they fill their plates and thank Trix on their way to the living area to lounge and eat.

[calcifying-membrane]

I’m doing alright! A little banged up, but I’ll be fine soon enough… how’ve you been?

(Ae grin a little as they load a plate and offer to help load his)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch smiles and declines the help, filling his own plate with the spaghetti meatballs and the brussels along with a singular stuffed mushroom.

"Hear ya. Let us know if we can help. I've been doing just fine. I went out and bought Trix some paint today since my hips felt up to it."

Trix smiles behind him and loads up her plate.

[calcifying-membrane]

Nice! What paints did you get?

(Ae ask with its plate carrying one of everything)

[devils-scotch]

"I got a couple blues and blacks and greens. It's what the stall had most of today." He shrugs, sitting in a nice plush recliner. Plasma and Honey are on the 3 person couch next to it, Pixie is in a loveseat, and Bio is in another 3 person couch across from the loveseat.

Trix sits in an office chair between Plasma and Scotch.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane stays standing, eating slow)

Shiny. I would’ve been there, but I ditched way early…

[devils-scotch]

"That's alright." Scotch shrugs, putting the leg rest up a little.

[calcifying-membrane]

Least you didn’t see any of the chaos.

(Ae shrug, before shoving a large mouthful of food down deir gullet like it hasn’t eaten since last week)

[devils-scotch]

"That bad, huh?" Scotch mutters, taking slow bites of his food.

Everybody else is talking and laughing with each other. Trix is eerily quiet as they eat. They never really have much to say, but this is quiet even for them.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane keeps half an eye on Trix, observing with concern ae mask by continuing to talk to Scotch)

Oh, it was that bad. Absolute nonsense. Fighting and stuff.

[devils-scotch]

"Hear ya." Scotch nods, eating quietly.

Trix eats slowly, not bothering to speak.

[calcifying-membrane]

‘S the last time I try to help.

(Ae frown a little to aemself)

Enjoying your food, Trix?

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Mhm. I made it." They give a little smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

Which makes it a million percent tastier.

(Ae smile, still eating)

[motor-trix]

"Mhm..." Trix takes another bite.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane switches aer weight to the other leg, enjoying being with all of them. Ae would never admit to feeling like dey have a family here, only because ae miss its own family still- nothing ever admitted out loud of course)

[bio-toxins]

Bio gestures at Membrane to his seat, a silent offer.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sigh, grinning at Scotch before going and sitting down)

Hi duck.

[bio-toxins]

"Mmmmm.... Puffball." He smiles, scooting closer

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae grin, eating more food)

Missed you.

[bio-toxins]

A loud dramatic sigh. "Missed you, too."

Trix rolls their eyes.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae roll deir eyes right back while eating)

Food good.

[bio-toxins]

Bio nods. "Very good. Thank you for cooking, Trix!"

Trix mutters a tiny 'no problem' with a small smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae smile, finishing deir plate and resting it on aer knee for a moment)

That hit the spot.

[bio-toxins]

"Didn't it, though?" Scotch smiles. "Trix always cooks well."

"They do." Bio nods.

[calcifying-membrane]

My stomach definitely agrees!

(Membrane smiles at Trix, mildly concerned at their quietness now)

[motor-trix]

"Have as much as you guys want." Trix mutters, mustering a semi-bright smile.

Bio gets up, ruffles their hair, and grabs more food. "It's all mine!"

"I will eat leftovers, but I've taken some meds." Scotch explains sadly.

"That's fine." Trix nods, not sounding too sad at the fact he's not eating much tonight.

[calcifying-membrane]

Woah hold up!

(Membrane immediately goes to grab more food, poking Bio lightly)

You can’t just have all of it!

[bio-toxins]

"Yes I can!" Bio grins, poking dem back as he stacks his plate with plenty of food.

[calcifying-membrane]

Not if I have all of it first!

(Ae happily continue loading its own plate, before sitting down again. There isn’t much on this second helping, but that’s just because ae’re getting full and tired)

[bio-toxins]

Bio sits down and starts eating, very happy.

Trix gets a second plate to eat, and then everyone else does.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey continue eating, listening to everything around instead of talking now- its long day beginning to have effects)

[bio-toxins]

Pixie arguing about how overly sugared things are better than overly salted things, and how drugs aren't that bad, with Plasma.

Scotch is talking about groceries and art supplies with Trix, waiting several minutes between each sentence for Trix's response.

Honey is quietly eating, occasionally jumping in with Plasma and Pixie.

Bio is eating, one hand rubbing circles on Membrane's shoulder.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae just listen still, eyes a little droopy now)

[bio-toxins]

"Bio keeps rubbing little circles on aer shoulder, eating quietly.

The conversations bounce around some more.

[calcifying-membrane]

Mmm…

(Ae rest the plate on one knee before leaning against Bio)

[calcifying-membrane]

"Puffball?" Bio asks, knocking on the door to Membrane's bungalow.

@bio-toxins

(Membrane gets the door in a blue wavy tee and black cycling shorts that show off their muscles, with ankle boots. Membranes makeup has clearly just been taken off, and dey smile upon seeing Bio)

Hey!

[bio-toxins]

One hand is on his steering wheel, the other on his lap.

Soon enough they pull up to the mansion, where he gets out and opens the door for dem.

[calcifying-membrane]

Thank you, thank you.

(Ae get out and hug him for a moment, kissing his forehead before taking his hand)

Onward- to food!

[motor-trix]

Trix rolls their eyes.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae roll deir eyes right back while eating)

Food good.

[bio-toxins]

Bio nods. "Very good. Thank you for cooking, Trix!"

Trix mutters a tiny 'no problem' with a small smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae smile, finishing deir plate and resting it on aer knee for a moment)

That hit the spot.

[bio-toxins]

"Didn't it, though?" Scotch smiles. "Trix always cooks well."

"They do." Bio nods.

[calcifying-membrane]

My stomach definitely agrees!

(Membrane smiles at Trix, mildly concerned at their quietness now)

[motor-trix]

"Have as much as you guys want." Trix mutters, mustering a semi-bright smile.

Bio gets up, ruffles their hair, and grabs more food. "It's all mine!"

"I will eat leftovers, but I've taken some meds." Scotch explains sadly.

"That's fine." Trix nods, not sounding too sad at the fact he's not eating much tonight.

[calcifying-membrane]

Woah hold up!

(Membrane immediately goes to grab more food, poking Bio lightly)

You can’t just have all of it!

[bio-toxins]

"Yes I can!" Bio grins, poking dem back as he stacks his plate with plenty of food.

[calcifying-membrane]

Not if I have all of it first!

(Ae happily continue loading its own plate, before sitting down again. There isn’t much on this second helping, but that’s just because ae’re getting full and tired)

[calcifying-membrane]

"Puffball?" Bio asks, knocking on the door to Membrane's bungalow.

@bio-toxins

(Membrane gets the door in a blue wavy tee and black cycling shorts that show off their muscles, with ankle boots. Membranes makeup has clearly just been taken off, and dey smile upon seeing Bio)

Hey!

[bio-toxins]

One hand is on his steering wheel, the other on his lap.

Soon enough they pull up to the mansion, where he gets out and opens the door for dem.

[calcifying-membrane]

Thank you, thank you.

(Ae get out and hug him for a moment, kissing his forehead before taking his hand)

Onward- to food!

[motor-trix]

The moment they walk into the kitchen, Trix is busy making multiple foods.

They've got rock music playing from their radio, with seasoned Powerpup meatballs and spaghetti being cooked in one pot and their famous stuffed mushrooms being assembled currently, other pots and pans with stuff in them also around.

Trix waves.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Dey wave back, taking a long sniff in and practically drooling)

Mmmmmmm… all mine.

[motor-trix]

Trix laughs. "Want the rundown of what I've got?"

[calcifying-membrane]

I’d love it.

(Ae casually change from holding hands to putting an arm round his duckling)

[motor-trix]

Trix hums. "Spaghetti with tomato sauce and seasoned Powerpup meatballs. My stuffed mushrooms with ground turkey and cheese. Brussels cooked in bacon and garlic. Bean soup. Oh and bread pudding with pecans and bourbon brown sugar sauce!"

They finish stuffing the mushrooms and put them in the oven and go back to cooking.

Bio mutters 'damn.'

[calcifying-membrane]

Well damn… shame I’m eating all of it by myself.

(Dey’re obviously joking)

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Shame."

Bio jokes about offering help, to which Trix pins him with a glare. He laughs and mutters he's joking.

[calcifying-membrane]

Careful now duck, Trix’ll have you roasted.

(Membrane jokes)

[bio-toxins]

Bio laughs. "Awh, man...."

"it'd suck to tenderize your muscle-y self." Trix mutters.

[calcifying-membrane]

I wouldn’t let ‘em, but they might best me.

(It casually flexes out the other arms muscles)

[motor-trix]

Bio laughs and Trix smiles before checking their stuffed mushrooms in the oven. They grab a kitchen towel and pull the tray out before radioing each member and saying to come eat as they grab plates with their free hand.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae let Bio go first, looking at it all)

I can take some to Scotch if he doesn’t feel like coming down?

[motor-trix]

"I'll go ask." Trix says, walking off.

They come down with Scotch a moment later, who's obviously feeling better. He ruffles Trix's hair and gets in line with Plasma, Pixie, Honey, Bio. He waves at Membrane and offers to let aem go in front of him.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae do go in front, signing thanks to him and joining the queue)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch nods and smiles. "How you doing, Membrane?"

Trix gets in line behind him, the last person to get food. Everyone is buzzing and talking and happy as they fill their plates and thank Trix on their way to the living area to lounge and eat.

[calcifying-membrane]

I’m doing alright! A little banged up, but I’ll be fine soon enough… how’ve you been?

(Ae grin a little as they load a plate and offer to help load his)

[devils-scotch]

Scotch smiles and declines the help, filling his own plate with the spaghetti meatballs and the brussels along with a singular stuffed mushroom.

"Hear ya. Let us know if we can help. I've been doing just fine. I went out and bought Trix some paint today since my hips felt up to it."

Trix smiles behind him and loads up her plate.

[calcifying-membrane]

Nice! What paints did you get?

(Ae ask with its plate carrying one of everything)

[devils-scotch]

"I got a couple blues and blacks and greens. It's what the stall had most of today." He shrugs, sitting in a nice plush recliner. Plasma and Honey are on the 3 person couch next to it, Pixie is in a loveseat, and Bio is in another 3 person couch across from the loveseat.

Trix sits in an office chair between Plasma and Scotch.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane stays standing, eating slow)

Shiny. I would’ve been there, but I ditched way early…

[devils-scotch]

"That's alright." Scotch shrugs, putting the leg rest up a little.

[calcifying-membrane]

Least you didn’t see any of the chaos.

(Ae shrug, before shoving a large mouthful of food down deir gullet like it hasn’t eaten since last week)

[devils-scotch]

"That bad, huh?" Scotch mutters, taking slow bites of his food.

Everybody else is talking and laughing with each other. Trix is eerily quiet as they eat. They never really have much to say, but this is quiet even for them.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane keeps half an eye on Trix, observing with concern ae mask by continuing to talk to Scotch)

Oh, it was that bad. Absolute nonsense. Fighting and stuff.

[devils-scotch]

"Hear ya." Scotch nods, eating quietly.

Trix eats slowly, not bothering to speak.

[calcifying-membrane]

‘S the last time I try to help.

(Ae frown a little to aemself)

Enjoying your food, Trix?

[motor-trix]

Trix nods. "Mhm. I made it." They give a little smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

Which makes it a million percent tastier.

(Ae smile, still eating)

[motor-trix]

"Mhm..." Trix takes another bite.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Membrane switches aer weight to the other leg, enjoying being with all of them. Ae would never admit to feeling like dey have a family here, only because ae miss its own family still- nothing ever admitted out loud of course)

[bio-toxins]

Bio gestures at Membrane to his seat, a silent offer.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae sigh, grinning at Scotch before going and sitting down)

Hi duck.

[bio-toxins]

"Mmmmm.... Puffball." He smiles, scooting closer

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae grin, eating more food)

Missed you.

[bio-toxins]

A loud dramatic sigh. "Missed you, too."

Trix rolls their eyes.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae roll deir eyes right back while eating)

Food good.

[bio-toxins]

Bio nods. "Very good. Thank you for cooking, Trix!"

Trix mutters a tiny 'no problem' with a small smile.

[calcifying-membrane]

(Ae smile, finishing deir plate and resting it on aer knee for a moment)

That hit the spot.

[bio-toxins]

"Didn't it, though?" Scotch smiles. "Trix always cooks well."

"They do." Bio nods.

[calcifying-membrane]

My stomach definitely agrees!

(Membrane smiles at Trix, mildly concerned at their quietness now)

[motor-trix]

"Have as much as you guys want." Trix mutters, mustering a semi-bright smile.

Bio gets up, ruffles their hair, and grabs more food. "It's all mine!"

"I will eat leftovers, but I've taken some meds." Scotch explains sadly.

"That's fine." Trix nods, not sounding too sad at the fact he's not eating much tonight.

[calcifying-membrane]

Woah hold up!

(Membrane immediately goes to grab more food, poking Bio lightly)

You can’t just have all of it!
