[i-like-bug-types]

How do you stop being attractive to people with blue hair? Time sensitive question.

[i-like-bug-types]

You failed me. They got at my titties like a clown honks on they unicycle’s horn. I’ll never be the same.

[calypso-is-here]

Haha🫵

Everyone laugh and point

[i-like-bug-types]

Hey.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso had been sluggish the last few days. They had been more tired and generally kept to themselves. Today they were attempting to grab painkillers before brio caught them, using the counter for support

@calypso-is-here

…Know you’re not really supposed t’ say this when you notice it, but ya look awful. Sum’n happen, or-?

[calypso-is-here]

Fuck. Uh brio its uhhh that time of the month. Mine are uhh worse than others I guess

Cal turns slightly green

[i-like-bug-types]

You like…need anything?

He remembers he should probably be signing.

[Should I get somebody in here that can empathize with this?]

[calypso-is-here]

Cal grabs the puke bowl, takes the pain meds before signing back

[You can if u want. Not talking to you about it, tho]

[i-like-bug-types]

[That’s fair. Not much I can do.]

Brio calls for Demi, but gets a woman Calypso has never seen before. She’s buff, tanned, clearly some sort of laborer. A shiny Durant is perched on her shoulder…a shoulder that leads to a stump rather than a right arm.

Demi is unavailable…you must me Calypso. I’ve been hearing of you quite a bit recently. Team Flow is rather fond of you.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso goes to reply before grimacing and sitting down

Nice to meet you. You are?

[i-like-bug-types]

Aurelia. I’m the curator and owner of Nikola’s Legacy in Malie. This is Nugget, and I believe you’ve already met my Lairon, Sterling. She occasionally handles deliveries to Po Town.

[Demi’s GF] Brio adds. [Part of the team. She’s chill.]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso is trying their best to stay social but the colour does start to drain from her face as they turn pale

Nice to- they grimace- meet you

[i-like-bug-types]

…You should sit down. Lay down, more like.

Aurelia moves past Brio and begins rifling through a closet for The Heating Pad.

Brio, meanwhile, makes sure Calypso can stand long enough to make it back to bed.

[calypso-is-here]

Im..... fine brio. I can walk

Calypso says before curling up in bed

[i-like-bug-types]

…You need anythin’?

[Actually, just text me…text me when you need things. I’ll tell Ada not to bother you.]

Brio rather quickly leaves the room, only to be replaced by Aurelia, who quietly helps set up the heating pad.

Is this a standard experience for you? This level of sickness?

[calypso-is-here]

I mean I only got it last month but yeah this seems to be the standard

[i-like-bug-types]

…You only got it last month.

Aurelia looks almost jealous.

At least Arceus had mercy on you until now. I believe I started while I was still in elementary…

(( THE MERCY THAT MUST’VE BEEN GETTING IT LATER BRO 😭😭😭 GOT ME FUCKED UP AT LIKE 9-10 YEARS OLD ))

[calypso-is-here]

Are the pain killers supposed to do somthin' cause they do fuck all

[i-like-bug-types]

Calypso had come home from school grumbled something about an essay, suspiciously wheezed a bit, and immediately shut themselves in their bedroom. They had That Look that meant something happened again

@calypso-is-here

Arc, aight…

Brio literally pries Ada off him so he can check on Calypso. He waits a couple minutes, then drops a loud knock on her door.

Yo, we gonna talk about it, or-?

[calypso-is-here]

They kicked brio in the nuts. Also spent more time shit talking my choices than actually helping

Cal says bluntly stuffing their face

[i-like-bug-types]

That…yeah, that checks out. Uhm, my bad. Probably shouldn’t’ve told ‘em about the date.

Demi smiles awkwardly. Part of me figured they’d be a little more…normal, you know?

[calypso-is-here]

Whatever Demi. Just don't do it again I guess

[calypso-is-here]

Theres the sound of calypso stumbling around in the room slightly flustered. The door opens a second later and calypso has puffy eyes

Talk about what?

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio slow blinks.

[Don’t bullshit me. I live with you. I know when something’s wrong by now.]

A very large and very warm Molotov the Volcarona has appeared behind Brio. He has sensed a great sadness and cold. Not on his fucking watch.

[calypso-is-here]

[Worth a shot]

Calypso opens the door fully to let brio in and plops down on the bed

[Tim got pulled into foster. He's moving to poni island, hes gonna have to change schools. Im gonna be by myself again]

[i-like-bug-types]

Damnit…

Brio is very quickly shoved past by Molotov, who plops down right next to Calypso, inviting her to bury herself in his Sun-Baked Moth Fluff.

[Not shocked his bitch of a dad didn’t listen to me. Bastard…I’ll look into things with Nanu. Make sure he’s in a half decent home.]

What’s goin’ on up here-?

Tim’s in the system. Not on Ula’Ula anymore.

FUCK. DAMNIT.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso full body flinches when ada yells burying their face into molotov

[Dont wanna go back to school. Please dont make me go back. Only went cause I got to see tim]

[i-like-bug-types]

…Could see if homeschooling works. One of us has gotta be qualified t’ teach. Prolly. I dunno.

[Don’t want to send you back…but don’t think anything can be done right away. Might still have to go for a bit while we look into other options.]

[calypso-is-here]

[The teachers hate me. And the words always move around on the page. Not that I can hear what they say most of the time but I try. I promise I try]

[i-like-bug-types]

[…You familiar with dyslexia? Like as a concept?]

Yooooo wait you too? I’m like, crazy dyslexic. School SUCKED.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso shakes their head

[.....im not stupid?]

[i-like-bug-types]

Ada dismissively waves a hand. Nahhhh girl, just got some funky shit goin’ on. Me personally, I’m stupid cause I’m stupid, not ‘cause reading is hard.

[Lot of Skulls struggled in school. Not your fault, Cal. We’ll figure this out.]

Molotov chirps and attempts to bury Calypso in his fluff. Get Moth’d, idiot.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso giggles at molotov and lets herself be buried. Uma also gets involved

....im gonna miss tim

[i-like-bug-types]

Me too, man…seems like a pretty based kid.

[Can still visit him. Shit’s not over just ‘cause he moved. I’ll get in contact with his family. See what we can do.]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso starts to wheeze again

Su *wheeze* pose so *wheeze*

[i-like-bug-types]

Oh, that’s—off her, boy, off—

Molotov reluctantly climbs off Calypso so she can breathe a little better.

[I swear to Arceus if your ass slept in a binder-]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso suddenly looks very guilty and is looking out the window

[i-like-bug-types]

…Take it off.

(( that is both of them speaking at once ))

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso very begrudgingly takes off the tape. They do not look happy

I was fine

[i-like-bug-types]

…Oh yeah!

Ada runs off, leaving a visibly disappointed Brio.

[No you weren’t. If it’s hard to breathe, you take it off. If it’s been 6-8 hours, you take it off.]

[calypso-is-here]

[Its hard to breathe anyway. I might as well feel good about myself for once. Baggy clothes only do so much]

Calypso stares down at themselves. Just stares

[i-like-bug-types]

Ada stumbles upstairs and tosses a package to Calypso.

I had this for like, weeks…and low key forgot t’ give it to you. So like. My bad. Enjoy though!

In said package is several different PROPER binders for Calypso to try.

I was gonna also get a packer but that. Prolly woulda been weird t’ open with us in front of you. So.

[calypso-is-here]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Calypso says crying again, immediately going to put one on

[i-like-bug-types]

A and B both leave the room so Calypso can privately change.

…Right as she’s gettin’ lectured on bein’ safe?

But look how happy she was!

I hope we never actually have a kid if you’re gonna be pulling shit like this.

Awh. Man.

…

My eyes are up here.

I know.

(( HELP YOU COULD’VE ASKED LMFAOOOOOO ))

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso seems to be significantly happier although it seems none of brios lecture got through to them

Wow you guys are gay

[i-like-bug-types]

Damn right we are!

Call’s comin’ from inside the house…

Ada snorts.

[calypso-is-here]

Cal stickes out their tounge

Get a room. *suspicious wheezing noises*

Cal starts trying to slink away before brio can react to the wheezing

[i-like-bug-types]

Nuh-uh. Gonna take that thing off for now. Need t’ give it a rest ‘fore you cant bind anymore. Not above gettin’ Tempo on your ass about this. Be safe.

Ada huffs at the mere mention of Tempo.

[calypso-is-here]

What a great time to pull the deaf card. Calypso keeps walking

[i-like-bug-types]

Oh I know your ass can hear me. Don’t even try it.

C’monnnnn let B smother you with naggin’ mom energy! It’ll make him feel better!

Unhelpful as shit.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso scowls and very dramatically goes to take it off. They come back out in a very baggy hoodie that they possibly stole from brio

Happy now?

[i-like-bug-types]

Yeah.

Man, I can’t believe B is transphobic.

Man, I can’t believe I’m gonna beat your ass.

[calypso-is-here]

Man, i can't believe you b.

Uma appears wanting to be lifted. Cal obliges

*wheeze* your getting big girl

[i-like-bug-types]

‘S why I started workin’ out. Gotta pick up the big guys.

Toootally the only reason. The only one—

Ada proceeds to get tossed over Brio’s shoulder, prompting them to immediately start giggling and kicking their feet.

Yo Cal, ion like this guy’s vibe. Need some torture method suggestions.

[calypso-is-here]

No cuddles for a week

Calypso giggles which sends them into another wheezing fit

[i-like-bug-types]

Woah—

Brio naturally ends up removing the Pokémon from Cal’s arms and produces an inhaler.

Ion know what it’s gonna take for you t’ listen ‘bout bein’ safe. Fuck’s sake.

[calypso-is-here]

Cal takes the inhaler and uses it

Im *wheeze* being perfectly safe

[i-like-bug-types]

No the hell you’re not-

Brio cuts himself off when he realizes he’s raising his voice. He controls his volume, puts Ada down, and begins signing while speaking.

[Sorry. You need to listen, though. You’re going to mess yourself up. I’m not trying to control you. I’m trying to warn you. What you’re doing is dangerous.]

Ada nods along.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks panicked when brio raises his voice. They have to take a moment to breathe before signing with shaking hands

[Its the one thing I can control. Everything, everything else is decided for me]

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio does what he can to be non-threatening, sitting in front of Calypso instead of towering over her.

[I feel you. I do. We’ll…]

[We’ll figure out a way to help you feel more in control. Without hurting yourself. Promise you’ve got more free will than you think.]

[calypso-is-here]

[I wish I could believe that]

Calypso looks away still slightly trembling

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio and Ada share a look, only for Ada to quietly snort.

Man, don’t look at me. I get a body mod when I’m outta control.

[Okay. Probably wouldn’t take advice from that one.]

…

[But you want control. You want choices. That’s fine. How about you pick dinner? It’s a start. Something easy you can control.]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks like body mods are a very appealing idea but knows full well that isn't happening

[Pizza?]

((This is prob gonna reblog twice cause my other response went to the void apparently))

[i-like-bug-types]

[Pizza.] Brio nods affirmatively.

When he goes off to put in the order, Ada nudges Calypso a little.

Gotta get Keahi’s permission, but like…if you’re thinkin’ bout piercings I can help with that…

[calypso-is-here]

Maybe like a nose one, but I dunno gonna wait till im not feeling like complete shit to make a decision

[i-like-bug-types]

…Damn, you’re more responsible than I am. Props. Whatcha wanna do ‘fore the pizza gets here? Delivery’s mad slow out here.

[calypso-is-here]

No, i just have crippling anxiety about making decisions only made worse by me feelin like shit..... I dunno maybe Mario cart?

[i-like-bug-types]

Damn, I gotta look for the Wii. We never use it, so ion really know it is but it’s prolly still here.

It takes a brief rummaging around in the basement to find The Wii in question. It looks like it’s seen at least two wars, but by Arceus does it still work. Even the special edition Mario controllers are still intact.

Ada looks down at the Peach one and smiles fondly. Several grunts used to literally fistfight each other for the honor of using it back in the day.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso often won those fights. Perk of being the baby of the group....and subtle manipulation. They make grabby hands for the controller

Give

[i-like-bug-types]

Awww man—

Ada reluctantly hands over the peach controller. At least they get the Yoshi one.

B! You playin’?

Nah.

Brio plops down on his favorite chair to supervise the Mario kart shenanigans. He was never one to play. Cringe ass old man.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso proceeds to kick adas ass. Repeatedly. Snickering as they do it

Wow you suck at this

[i-like-bug-types]

Shut uuuuupppppuhhhh

Ada pouts as they once again wind up placing terribly.

Beeeeeee you gotta avenge me! I’m being bullied!

Not my fault you suck ass.

Everyone’s so mean to me…

They dramatically drape an arm over their eyes.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso absolutely snickers

I got good at this. One of the group homes had the game. Don't feel too bad about how pathetic you are at it ada

[i-like-bug-types]

You sound like Morgan…so friggin’ mean to me. Hope he’s around so you can kick his ass.

Brio is trying to look at disinterested as humanly possible so he’s not forced to play a video game.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks genuinely happy, like a normal teenager.

Yeah well hes not soooo suffer

[i-like-bug-types]

I’m. Gonna-

Ada snatches the peach controller and holds it out of reach.

Get stolen from. Idiot.

[calypso-is-here]

Hey! Brio adas bein' an ass

Calypso starts climbing ada like a jungle gym to try get the controller back

[i-like-bug-types]

You’re bein’ an ass too.

Brio is now in possession of the controller.

Wh-?! Hey-!

‘S mine now. Get bent.

Ada looks to Calypso with reluctant reliance.

Get him.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso nods and is on top is brio quicker than he can blink. They want the damn controller back

[i-like-bug-types]

Holy shit—

He’s disoriented just enough that he sort of lets go of the controller, giving Calypso the perfect window to get it back. Now that Brio has stumbled backward a bit, Ada gets in a good shove that gets him back in his chair. They proceed to plop down on his lap.

You people are friggin’ insane. All’at for pink plastic.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso giggles again

It was the spirit of things. You dont interrupt Mario cart b

[i-like-bug-types]

Didn’t realize it was a felony ‘round here—Ada—

Brio loses his train of thought entirely. A very giggly Ada has started attacking him with kisses. He’s done for.

[calypso-is-here]

Get a roooooooom

Calypso groans pretending to be repulsed

Im gonna go do homework now

[i-like-bug-types]

Noooo but pizza’s prolly almost hereeee! Stay ‘n eat firstttt!

There’s a weirdly low knock on the door. When answered, the culprit is revealed to be an unusually bulky Lairon with two pizza boxes stacked in her mouth.

Ohhhh good girl!

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso shuffles over

Sweet! Smells good

[i-like-bug-types]

C’mon in, girl…we’ll getcha some treats.

Ada takes the boxes and sets them on the dining table, all while waving the Lairon along. It should be noted that this Lairon is not one of Team Flow’s pokemon, nor is she a standard delivery pokemon.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso starts devouring their slice of pizza while petting the lairion.

Mhmmm this is goooood

[i-like-bug-types]

Hafta get it from Melemele but it’s so worth it.

Ada has also started devouring their own pizza. Which I’ve decided is the Pokémon equivalent of having pineapple on it. Because I think Ada would fuck with pineapple on pizza. Or pinap, I guess.

The Lairon happily enjoys being pet, even more so when Demi materializes to get at some of the pizza and joins in on the petting.

What’s good?

[calypso-is-here]

Pizza

Cal says between bites

Also went on a date

[i-like-bug-types]

Calypso had come home from school grumbled something about an essay, suspiciously wheezed a bit, and immediately shut themselves in their bedroom. They had That Look that meant something happened again

@calypso-is-here

Arc, aight…

Theres the sound of calypso stumbling around in the room slightly flustered. The door opens a second later and calypso has puffy eyes

Talk about what?

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio slow blinks.

[Don’t bullshit me. I live with you. I know when something’s wrong by now.]

A very large and very warm Molotov the Volcarona has appeared behind Brio. He has sensed a great sadness and cold. Not on his fucking watch.

[calypso-is-here]

[Worth a shot]

Calypso opens the door fully to let brio in and plops down on the bed

[Tim got pulled into foster. He's moving to poni island, hes gonna have to change schools. Im gonna be by myself again]

[i-like-bug-types]

Damnit…

Brio is very quickly shoved past by Molotov, who plops down right next to Calypso, inviting her to bury herself in his Sun-Baked Moth Fluff.

[Not shocked his bitch of a dad didn’t listen to me. Bastard…I’ll look into things with Nanu. Make sure he’s in a half decent home.]

What’s goin’ on up here-?

Tim’s in the system. Not on Ula’Ula anymore.

FUCK. DAMNIT.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso full body flinches when ada yells burying their face into molotov

[Dont wanna go back to school. Please dont make me go back. Only went cause I got to see tim]

[i-like-bug-types]

…Could see if homeschooling works. One of us has gotta be qualified t’ teach. Prolly. I dunno.

[Don’t want to send you back…but don’t think anything can be done right away. Might still have to go for a bit while we look into other options.]

[calypso-is-here]

[The teachers hate me. And the words always move around on the page. Not that I can hear what they say most of the time but I try. I promise I try]

[i-like-bug-types]

[…You familiar with dyslexia? Like as a concept?]

Yooooo wait you too? I’m like, crazy dyslexic. School SUCKED.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso shakes their head

[.....im not stupid?]

[i-like-bug-types]

Ada dismissively waves a hand. Nahhhh girl, just got some funky shit goin’ on. Me personally, I’m stupid cause I’m stupid, not ‘cause reading is hard.

[Lot of Skulls struggled in school. Not your fault, Cal. We’ll figure this out.]

Molotov chirps and attempts to bury Calypso in his fluff. Get Moth’d, idiot.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso giggles at molotov and lets herself be buried. Uma also gets involved

....im gonna miss tim

[i-like-bug-types]

Me too, man…seems like a pretty based kid.

[Can still visit him. Shit’s not over just ‘cause he moved. I’ll get in contact with his family. See what we can do.]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso starts to wheeze again

Su *wheeze* pose so *wheeze*

[i-like-bug-types]

Oh, that’s—off her, boy, off—

Molotov reluctantly climbs off Calypso so she can breathe a little better.

[I swear to Arceus if your ass slept in a binder-]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso suddenly looks very guilty and is looking out the window

[i-like-bug-types]

…Take it off.

(( that is both of them speaking at once ))

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso very begrudgingly takes off the tape. They do not look happy

I was fine

[i-like-bug-types]

…Oh yeah!

Ada runs off, leaving a visibly disappointed Brio.

[No you weren’t. If it’s hard to breathe, you take it off. If it’s been 6-8 hours, you take it off.]

[calypso-is-here]

[Its hard to breathe anyway. I might as well feel good about myself for once. Baggy clothes only do so much]

Calypso stares down at themselves. Just stares

[i-like-bug-types]

Ada stumbles upstairs and tosses a package to Calypso.

I had this for like, weeks…and low key forgot t’ give it to you. So like. My bad. Enjoy though!

In said package is several different PROPER binders for Calypso to try.

I was gonna also get a packer but that. Prolly woulda been weird t’ open with us in front of you. So.

[calypso-is-here]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Calypso says crying again, immediately going to put one on

[i-like-bug-types]

A and B both leave the room so Calypso can privately change.

…Right as she’s gettin’ lectured on bein’ safe?

But look how happy she was!

I hope we never actually have a kid if you’re gonna be pulling shit like this.

Awh. Man.

…

My eyes are up here.

I know.

(( HELP YOU COULD’VE ASKED LMFAOOOOOO ))

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso seems to be significantly happier although it seems none of brios lecture got through to them

Wow you guys are gay

[i-like-bug-types]

Damn right we are!

Call’s comin’ from inside the house…

Ada snorts.

[calypso-is-here]

Cal stickes out their tounge

Get a room. *suspicious wheezing noises*

Cal starts trying to slink away before brio can react to the wheezing

[i-like-bug-types]

Nuh-uh. Gonna take that thing off for now. Need t’ give it a rest ‘fore you cant bind anymore. Not above gettin’ Tempo on your ass about this. Be safe.

Ada huffs at the mere mention of Tempo.

[calypso-is-here]

What a great time to pull the deaf card. Calypso keeps walking

[i-like-bug-types]

Oh I know your ass can hear me. Don’t even try it.

C’monnnnn let B smother you with naggin’ mom energy! It’ll make him feel better!

Unhelpful as shit.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso scowls and very dramatically goes to take it off. They come back out in a very baggy hoodie that they possibly stole from brio

Happy now?

[i-like-bug-types]

Yeah.

Man, I can’t believe B is transphobic.

Man, I can’t believe I’m gonna beat your ass.

[calypso-is-here]

Man, i can't believe you b.

Uma appears wanting to be lifted. Cal obliges

*wheeze* your getting big girl

[i-like-bug-types]

‘S why I started workin’ out. Gotta pick up the big guys.

Toootally the only reason. The only one—

Ada proceeds to get tossed over Brio’s shoulder, prompting them to immediately start giggling and kicking their feet.

Yo Cal, ion like this guy’s vibe. Need some torture method suggestions.

[calypso-is-here]

No cuddles for a week

Calypso giggles which sends them into another wheezing fit

[i-like-bug-types]

Woah—

Brio naturally ends up removing the Pokémon from Cal’s arms and produces an inhaler.

Ion know what it’s gonna take for you t’ listen ‘bout bein’ safe. Fuck’s sake.

[calypso-is-here]

Cal takes the inhaler and uses it

Im *wheeze* being perfectly safe

[i-like-bug-types]

No the hell you’re not-

Brio cuts himself off when he realizes he’s raising his voice. He controls his volume, puts Ada down, and begins signing while speaking.

[Sorry. You need to listen, though. You’re going to mess yourself up. I’m not trying to control you. I’m trying to warn you. What you’re doing is dangerous.]

Ada nods along.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks panicked when brio raises his voice. They have to take a moment to breathe before signing with shaking hands

[Its the one thing I can control. Everything, everything else is decided for me]

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio does what he can to be non-threatening, sitting in front of Calypso instead of towering over her.

[I feel you. I do. We’ll…]

[We’ll figure out a way to help you feel more in control. Without hurting yourself. Promise you’ve got more free will than you think.]

[calypso-is-here]

[I wish I could believe that]

Calypso looks away still slightly trembling

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio and Ada share a look, only for Ada to quietly snort.

Man, don’t look at me. I get a body mod when I’m outta control.

[Okay. Probably wouldn’t take advice from that one.]

…

[But you want control. You want choices. That’s fine. How about you pick dinner? It’s a start. Something easy you can control.]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks like body mods are a very appealing idea but knows full well that isn't happening

[Pizza?]

((This is prob gonna reblog twice cause my other response went to the void apparently))

[i-like-bug-types]

[Pizza.] Brio nods affirmatively.

When he goes off to put in the order, Ada nudges Calypso a little.

Gotta get Keahi’s permission, but like…if you’re thinkin’ bout piercings I can help with that…

[calypso-is-here]

Maybe like a nose one, but I dunno gonna wait till im not feeling like complete shit to make a decision

[i-like-bug-types]

…Damn, you’re more responsible than I am. Props. Whatcha wanna do ‘fore the pizza gets here? Delivery’s mad slow out here.

[calypso-is-here]

No, i just have crippling anxiety about making decisions only made worse by me feelin like shit..... I dunno maybe Mario cart?

[i-like-bug-types]

Damn, I gotta look for the Wii. We never use it, so ion really know it is but it’s prolly still here.

It takes a brief rummaging around in the basement to find The Wii in question. It looks like it’s seen at least two wars, but by Arceus does it still work. Even the special edition Mario controllers are still intact.

Ada looks down at the Peach one and smiles fondly. Several grunts used to literally fistfight each other for the honor of using it back in the day.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso often won those fights. Perk of being the baby of the group....and subtle manipulation. They make grabby hands for the controller

Give

[i-like-bug-types]

Awww man—

Ada reluctantly hands over the peach controller. At least they get the Yoshi one.

B! You playin’?

Nah.

Brio plops down on his favorite chair to supervise the Mario kart shenanigans. He was never one to play. Cringe ass old man.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso proceeds to kick adas ass. Repeatedly. Snickering as they do it

Wow you suck at this

[i-like-bug-types]

Shut uuuuupppppuhhhh

Ada pouts as they once again wind up placing terribly.

Beeeeeee you gotta avenge me! I’m being bullied!

Not my fault you suck ass.

Everyone’s so mean to me…

They dramatically drape an arm over their eyes.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso absolutely snickers

I got good at this. One of the group homes had the game. Don't feel too bad about how pathetic you are at it ada

[i-like-bug-types]

You sound like Morgan…so friggin’ mean to me. Hope he’s around so you can kick his ass.

Brio is trying to look at disinterested as humanly possible so he’s not forced to play a video game.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks genuinely happy, like a normal teenager.

Yeah well hes not soooo suffer

[i-like-bug-types]

I’m. Gonna-

Ada snatches the peach controller and holds it out of reach.

Get stolen from. Idiot.

[calypso-is-here]

Hey! Brio adas bein' an ass

Calypso starts climbing ada like a jungle gym to try get the controller back

[i-like-bug-types]

You’re bein’ an ass too.

Brio is now in possession of the controller.

Wh-?! Hey-!

‘S mine now. Get bent.

Ada looks to Calypso with reluctant reliance.

Get him.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso nods and is on top is brio quicker than he can blink. They want the damn controller back

[i-like-bug-types]

Holy shit—

He’s disoriented just enough that he sort of lets go of the controller, giving Calypso the perfect window to get it back. Now that Brio has stumbled backward a bit, Ada gets in a good shove that gets him back in his chair. They proceed to plop down on his lap.

You people are friggin’ insane. All’at for pink plastic.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso giggles again

It was the spirit of things. You dont interrupt Mario cart b

[i-like-bug-types]

Didn’t realize it was a felony ‘round here—Ada—

Brio loses his train of thought entirely. A very giggly Ada has started attacking him with kisses. He’s done for.

[calypso-is-here]

Get a roooooooom

Calypso groans pretending to be repulsed

Im gonna go do homework now

[i-like-bug-types]

Noooo but pizza’s prolly almost hereeee! Stay ‘n eat firstttt!

There’s a weirdly low knock on the door. When answered, the culprit is revealed to be an unusually bulky Lairon with two pizza boxes stacked in her mouth.

Ohhhh good girl!

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso shuffles over

Sweet! Smells good

[i-like-bug-types]

C’mon in, girl…we’ll getcha some treats.

Ada takes the boxes and sets them on the dining table, all while waving the Lairon along. It should be noted that this Lairon is not one of Team Flow’s pokemon, nor is she a standard delivery pokemon.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso starts devouring their slice of pizza while petting the lairion.

Mhmmm this is goooood

[i-like-bug-types]

Hafta get it from Melemele but it’s so worth it.

Ada has also started devouring their own pizza. Which I’ve decided is the Pokémon equivalent of having pineapple on it. Because I think Ada would fuck with pineapple on pizza. Or pinap, I guess.

The Lairon happily enjoys being pet, even more so when Demi materializes to get at some of the pizza and joins in on the petting.

What’s good?

[calypso-is-here]

Pizza

Cal says between bites

Also went on a date

[i-like-bug-types]

Calypso had come home from school grumbled something about an essay, suspiciously wheezed a bit, and immediately shut themselves in their bedroom. They had That Look that meant something happened again

@calypso-is-here

Arc, aight…

Brio literally pries Ada off him so he can check on Calypso. He waits a couple minutes, then drops a loud knock on her door.

Yo, we gonna talk about it, or-?

[calypso-is-here]

Theres the sound of calypso stumbling around in the room slightly flustered. The door opens a second later and calypso has puffy eyes

[The teachers hate me. And the words always move around on the page. Not that I can hear what they say most of the time but I try. I promise I try]

[i-like-bug-types]

[…You familiar with dyslexia? Like as a concept?]

Yooooo wait you too? I’m like, crazy dyslexic. School SUCKED.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso shakes their head

[.....im not stupid?]

[i-like-bug-types]

Ada dismissively waves a hand. Nahhhh girl, just got some funky shit goin’ on. Me personally, I’m stupid cause I’m stupid, not ‘cause reading is hard.

[Lot of Skulls struggled in school. Not your fault, Cal. We’ll figure this out.]

Molotov chirps and attempts to bury Calypso in his fluff. Get Moth’d, idiot.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso giggles at molotov and lets herself be buried. Uma also gets involved

....im gonna miss tim

[i-like-bug-types]

Me too, man…seems like a pretty based kid.

[Can still visit him. Shit’s not over just ‘cause he moved. I’ll get in contact with his family. See what we can do.]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso starts to wheeze again

Su *wheeze* pose so *wheeze*

[i-like-bug-types]

Oh, that’s—off her, boy, off—

Molotov reluctantly climbs off Calypso so she can breathe a little better.

[I swear to Arceus if your ass slept in a binder-]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso suddenly looks very guilty and is looking out the window

[i-like-bug-types]

…Take it off.

(( that is both of them speaking at once ))

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso very begrudgingly takes off the tape. They do not look happy

I was fine

[i-like-bug-types]

…Oh yeah!

Ada runs off, leaving a visibly disappointed Brio.

[No you weren’t. If it’s hard to breathe, you take it off. If it’s been 6-8 hours, you take it off.]

[calypso-is-here]

[Its hard to breathe anyway. I might as well feel good about myself for once. Baggy clothes only do so much]

Calypso stares down at themselves. Just stares

[i-like-bug-types]

Ada stumbles upstairs and tosses a package to Calypso.

I had this for like, weeks…and low key forgot t’ give it to you. So like. My bad. Enjoy though!

In said package is several different PROPER binders for Calypso to try.

I was gonna also get a packer but that. Prolly woulda been weird t’ open with us in front of you. So.

[calypso-is-here]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Calypso says crying again, immediately going to put one on

[i-like-bug-types]

A and B both leave the room so Calypso can privately change.

…Right as she’s gettin’ lectured on bein’ safe?

But look how happy she was!

I hope we never actually have a kid if you’re gonna be pulling shit like this.

Awh. Man.

…

My eyes are up here.

I know.

(( HELP YOU COULD’VE ASKED LMFAOOOOOO ))

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso seems to be significantly happier although it seems none of brios lecture got through to them

Wow you guys are gay

[i-like-bug-types]

Damn right we are!

Call’s comin’ from inside the house…

Ada snorts.

[calypso-is-here]

Cal stickes out their tounge

Get a room. *suspicious wheezing noises*

Cal starts trying to slink away before brio can react to the wheezing

[i-like-bug-types]

Nuh-uh. Gonna take that thing off for now. Need t’ give it a rest ‘fore you cant bind anymore. Not above gettin’ Tempo on your ass about this. Be safe.

Ada huffs at the mere mention of Tempo.

[calypso-is-here]

What a great time to pull the deaf card. Calypso keeps walking

[i-like-bug-types]

Oh I know your ass can hear me. Don’t even try it.

C’monnnnn let B smother you with naggin’ mom energy! It’ll make him feel better!

Unhelpful as shit.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso scowls and very dramatically goes to take it off. They come back out in a very baggy hoodie that they possibly stole from brio

Happy now?

[i-like-bug-types]

Yeah.

Man, I can’t believe B is transphobic.

Man, I can’t believe I’m gonna beat your ass.

[calypso-is-here]

Man, i can't believe you b.

Uma appears wanting to be lifted. Cal obliges

*wheeze* your getting big girl

[i-like-bug-types]

‘S why I started workin’ out. Gotta pick up the big guys.

Toootally the only reason. The only one—

Ada proceeds to get tossed over Brio’s shoulder, prompting them to immediately start giggling and kicking their feet.

Yo Cal, ion like this guy’s vibe. Need some torture method suggestions.

[calypso-is-here]

No cuddles for a week

Calypso giggles which sends them into another wheezing fit

[i-like-bug-types]

Woah—

Brio naturally ends up removing the Pokémon from Cal’s arms and produces an inhaler.

Ion know what it’s gonna take for you t’ listen ‘bout bein’ safe. Fuck’s sake.

[calypso-is-here]

Cal takes the inhaler and uses it

Im *wheeze* being perfectly safe

[i-like-bug-types]

No the hell you’re not-

Brio cuts himself off when he realizes he’s raising his voice. He controls his volume, puts Ada down, and begins signing while speaking.

[Sorry. You need to listen, though. You’re going to mess yourself up. I’m not trying to control you. I’m trying to warn you. What you’re doing is dangerous.]

Ada nods along.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks panicked when brio raises his voice. They have to take a moment to breathe before signing with shaking hands

[Its the one thing I can control. Everything, everything else is decided for me]

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio does what he can to be non-threatening, sitting in front of Calypso instead of towering over her.

[I feel you. I do. We’ll…]

[We’ll figure out a way to help you feel more in control. Without hurting yourself. Promise you’ve got more free will than you think.]

[calypso-is-here]

[I wish I could believe that]

Calypso looks away still slightly trembling

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio and Ada share a look, only for Ada to quietly snort.

Man, don’t look at me. I get a body mod when I’m outta control.

[Okay. Probably wouldn’t take advice from that one.]

…

[But you want control. You want choices. That’s fine. How about you pick dinner? It’s a start. Something easy you can control.]

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks like body mods are a very appealing idea but knows full well that isn't happening

[Pizza?]

((This is prob gonna reblog twice cause my other response went to the void apparently))

[i-like-bug-types]

[Pizza.] Brio nods affirmatively.

When he goes off to put in the order, Ada nudges Calypso a little.

Gotta get Keahi’s permission, but like…if you’re thinkin’ bout piercings I can help with that…

[calypso-is-here]

Maybe like a nose one, but I dunno gonna wait till im not feeling like complete shit to make a decision

[i-like-bug-types]

…Damn, you’re more responsible than I am. Props. Whatcha wanna do ‘fore the pizza gets here? Delivery’s mad slow out here.

[calypso-is-here]

No, i just have crippling anxiety about making decisions only made worse by me feelin like shit..... I dunno maybe Mario cart?

[i-like-bug-types]

Damn, I gotta look for the Wii. We never use it, so ion really know it is but it’s prolly still here.

It takes a brief rummaging around in the basement to find The Wii in question. It looks like it’s seen at least two wars, but by Arceus does it still work. Even the special edition Mario controllers are still intact.

Ada looks down at the Peach one and smiles fondly. Several grunts used to literally fistfight each other for the honor of using it back in the day.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso often won those fights. Perk of being the baby of the group....and subtle manipulation. They make grabby hands for the controller

Give

[i-like-bug-types]

Awww man—

Ada reluctantly hands over the peach controller. At least they get the Yoshi one.

B! You playin’?

Nah.

Brio plops down on his favorite chair to supervise the Mario kart shenanigans. He was never one to play. Cringe ass old man.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso proceeds to kick adas ass. Repeatedly. Snickering as they do it

Wow you suck at this

[i-like-bug-types]

Shut uuuuupppppuhhhh

Ada pouts as they once again wind up placing terribly.

Beeeeeee you gotta avenge me! I’m being bullied!

Not my fault you suck ass.

Everyone’s so mean to me…

They dramatically drape an arm over their eyes.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso absolutely snickers

I got good at this. One of the group homes had the game. Don't feel too bad about how pathetic you are at it ada

[i-like-bug-types]

You sound like Morgan…so friggin’ mean to me. Hope he’s around so you can kick his ass.

Brio is trying to look at disinterested as humanly possible so he’s not forced to play a video game.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso looks genuinely happy, like a normal teenager.

Yeah well hes not soooo suffer

[i-like-bug-types]

I’m. Gonna-

Ada snatches the peach controller and holds it out of reach.

Get stolen from. Idiot.

[calypso-is-here]

Hey! Brio adas bein' an ass

Calypso starts climbing ada like a jungle gym to try get the controller back

[i-like-bug-types]

You’re bein’ an ass too.

Brio is now in possession of the controller.

Wh-?! Hey-!

‘S mine now. Get bent.

Ada looks to Calypso with reluctant reliance.

Get him.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso nods and is on top is brio quicker than he can blink. They want the damn controller back

[i-like-bug-types]

Holy shit—

He’s disoriented just enough that he sort of lets go of the controller, giving Calypso the perfect window to get it back. Now that Brio has stumbled backward a bit, Ada gets in a good shove that gets him back in his chair. They proceed to plop down on his lap.

You people are friggin’ insane. All’at for pink plastic.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso giggles again

It was the spirit of things. You dont interrupt Mario cart b

[i-like-bug-types]

Didn’t realize it was a felony ‘round here—Ada—

Brio loses his train of thought entirely. A very giggly Ada has started attacking him with kisses. He’s done for.

[calypso-is-here]

Get a roooooooom

Calypso groans pretending to be repulsed

Im gonna go do homework now

[i-like-bug-types]

Noooo but pizza’s prolly almost hereeee! Stay ‘n eat firstttt!

There’s a weirdly low knock on the door. When answered, the culprit is revealed to be an unusually bulky Lairon with two pizza boxes stacked in her mouth.

Ohhhh good girl!

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso shuffles over

Sweet! Smells good

[i-like-bug-types]

Calypso had come home from school grumbled something about an essay, suspiciously wheezed a bit, and immediately shut themselves in their bedroom. They had That Look that meant something happened again

@calypso-is-here

Arc, aight…

Brio literally pries Ada off him so he can check on Calypso. He waits a couple minutes, then drops a loud knock on her door.

Yo, we gonna talk about it, or-?

[calypso-is-here]

Theres the sound of calypso stumbling around in the room slightly flustered. The door opens a second later and calypso has puffy eyes

Talk about what?

[i-like-bug-types]

Brio slow blinks.

[Don’t bullshit me. I live with you. I know when something’s wrong by now.]

A very large and very warm Molotov the Volcarona has appeared behind Brio. He has sensed a great sadness and cold. Not on his fucking watch.

[calypso-is-here]

[Worth a shot]

Calypso opens the door fully to let brio in and plops down on the bed

[Tim got pulled into foster. He's moving to poni island, hes gonna have to change schools. Im gonna be by myself again]

[i-like-bug-types]

Damnit…

Brio is very quickly shoved past by Molotov, who plops down right next to Calypso, inviting her to bury herself in his Sun-Baked Moth Fluff.

[Not shocked his bitch of a dad didn’t listen to me. Bastard…I’ll look into things with Nanu. Make sure he’s in a half decent home.]

What’s goin’ on up here-?

Tim’s in the system. Not on Ula’Ula anymore.

FUCK. DAMNIT.

[calypso-is-here]

Calypso full body flinches when ada yells burying their face into molotov

[Dont wanna go back to school. Please dont make me go back. Only went cause I got to see tim]

[i-like-bug-types]

…Could see if homeschooling works. One of us has gotta be qualified t’ teach. Prolly. I dunno.

[Don’t want to send you back…but don’t think anything can be done right away. Might still have to go for a bit while we look into other options.]

[calypso-is-here]

[The teachers hate me. And the words always move around on the page. Not that I can hear what they say most of the time but I try. I promise I try]
