Holly Molly I’ve gotten better at drawing.

Art development go crazy

[hometoursandotherstuff]

This mixed-media artwork, titled "Victorian Velociraptor with Violets," was created by artist Adam Mazur using acrylic paint and liquid gold leaf.

I like this.

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"If I was, you'd know. You seem like a man that would have a nack for figuring something like that out."🦁

With that, he leads possession inside.

[endstar]

Posse comes in with a whole other dementor … nervous and flighty. Though- asmodeus can tell from the hive mind he’s acting.

He comes in and waves a bit at the other Doug’s.

∞"….hi? I was told to be here..”∞

The trapped Doug’s chatter and hiss slightly as they stare at… someone they have no clue is possession-

Loon stares… he stares heavily… beginning to try to pick possesion apart.. silently.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls back, giving Posse some space, playing along. 💙"It's alright... they ain't gonna bite."🦁

[endstar]

∞"they do though—"∞

I he says awkwardly before carefully approaching the other Doug’s further.

∞"Uhm.. anyway okay. We’re fine, not dead just— shaken…”∞

Loon narrows his eyes.

𓅯"…your a big fella.”𓅯

∞"I’m fed well! Good food.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"My wife's cooking at work."🦁

He nods. A half truth. Technically, her food did have to do a LOT with his appearance-

[endstar]

Loon glares some more with the heavy.. thinking face.. this demon Doug is very familiar. Possesion just looks down shly.

∞"I promise we’re fine. These demons are.. weird.. but they’re fine. Most of them. The Malak’s aren’t happy with the arrangement but they behave.”∞

Loons nose wrinkles slightly, but he seems.. more relaxed.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus purrs, and pats Possession's arm comfortingly.

[endstar]

𓅯"…so this is.. willing?”𓅯

∞"of course!”∞

Loon and him get into a staring contest again … loon trying to disepher and poke out any lies.. but possesion stays calm and blank. That seems to satisfy loon however. He huffs slightly.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus purrs a bit, rubbing Posse's shoulder still. 💙"See? Big misunderstanding... We treat all our dougs as our own. Nobody got hurt, they were just freaking out today-"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…if I hear anymore of it I’m tearing out of this bed one way or another and bashing someone’s skull open.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus sighs. 💙"...Might happen again when they need another renewal shot, but that won't be for a while- Shouldn't hear any more screaming here on out at least..."🦁

Again, these demons are weirdly "honest"... Admitting there's a chance for more bloody-murder-screaming one day, cause of shots-

Their acts still haven't broken, even with this slip up.

[endstar]

He growls a bit, itching at his own palm… this is frustrating…

Their good

Someone’s going to crack eventually, but loon will be damned if it’s himself, or any of his men.. but he’s beginning to feel anxious…

Just keep acting…

As soon as they let their gaurd down they’ll strike.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"...Anyways, any of you need anything after that scare? Or ya'll just need some space?"🦁

[endstar]

They all hiss with contempt, glaring at them with distrust and confusion- that.. says enough

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"If I was, you'd know. You seem like a man that would have a nack for figuring something like that out."🦁

With that, he leads possession inside.

[endstar]

Posse comes in with a whole other dementor … nervous and flighty. Though- asmodeus can tell from the hive mind he’s acting.

He comes in and waves a bit at the other Doug’s.

∞"….hi? I was told to be here..”∞

The trapped Doug’s chatter and hiss slightly as they stare at… someone they have no clue is possession-

Loon stares… he stares heavily… beginning to try to pick possesion apart.. silently.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls back, giving Posse some space, playing along. 💙"It's alright... they ain't gonna bite."🦁

[endstar]

∞"they do though—"∞

I he says awkwardly before carefully approaching the other Doug’s further.

∞"Uhm.. anyway okay. We’re fine, not dead just— shaken…”∞

Loon narrows his eyes.

𓅯"…your a big fella.”𓅯

∞"I’m fed well! Good food.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"My wife's cooking at work."🦁

He nods. A half truth. Technically, her food did have to do a LOT with his appearance-

[endstar]

Loon glares some more with the heavy.. thinking face.. this demon Doug is very familiar. Possesion just looks down shly.

∞"I promise we’re fine. These demons are.. weird.. but they’re fine. Most of them. The Malak’s aren’t happy with the arrangement but they behave.”∞

Loons nose wrinkles slightly, but he seems.. more relaxed.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus purrs, and pats Possession's arm comfortingly.

[endstar]

𓅯"…so this is.. willing?”𓅯

∞"of course!”∞

Loon and him get into a staring contest again … loon trying to disepher and poke out any lies.. but possesion stays calm and blank. That seems to satisfy loon however. He huffs slightly.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus purrs a bit, rubbing Posse's shoulder still. 💙"See? Big misunderstanding... We treat all our dougs as our own. Nobody got hurt, they were just freaking out today-"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…if I hear anymore of it I’m tearing out of this bed one way or another and bashing someone’s skull open.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus sighs. 💙"...Might happen again when they need another renewal shot, but that won't be for a while- Shouldn't hear any more screaming here on out at least..."🦁

Again, these demons are weirdly "honest"... Admitting there's a chance for more bloody-murder-screaming one day, cause of shots-

Their acts still haven't broken, even with this slip up.

[endstar]

He growls a bit, itching at his own palm… this is frustrating…

Their good

Someone’s going to crack eventually, but loon will be damned if it’s himself, or any of his men.. but he’s beginning to feel anxious…

Just keep acting…

As soon as they let their gaurd down they’ll strike.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"If I was, you'd know. You seem like a man that would have a nack for figuring something like that out."🦁

With that, he leads possession inside.

[endstar]

Posse comes in with a whole other dementor … nervous and flighty. Though- asmodeus can tell from the hive mind he’s acting.

He comes in and waves a bit at the other Doug’s.

∞"….hi? I was told to be here..”∞

The trapped Doug’s chatter and hiss slightly as they stare at… someone they have no clue is possession-

Loon stares… he stares heavily… beginning to try to pick possesion apart.. silently.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls back, giving Posse some space, playing along. 💙"It's alright... they ain't gonna bite."🦁

[endstar]

∞"they do though—"∞

I he says awkwardly before carefully approaching the other Doug’s further.

∞"Uhm.. anyway okay. We’re fine, not dead just— shaken…”∞

Loon narrows his eyes.

𓅯"…your a big fella.”𓅯

∞"I’m fed well! Good food.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"My wife's cooking at work."🦁

He nods. A half truth. Technically, her food did have to do a LOT with his appearance-

[endstar]

Loon glares some more with the heavy.. thinking face.. this demon Doug is very familiar. Possesion just looks down shly.

∞"I promise we’re fine. These demons are.. weird.. but they’re fine. Most of them. The Malak’s aren’t happy with the arrangement but they behave.”∞

Loons nose wrinkles slightly, but he seems.. more relaxed.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus purrs, and pats Possession's arm comfortingly.

[endstar]

𓅯"…so this is.. willing?”𓅯

∞"of course!”∞

Loon and him get into a staring contest again … loon trying to disepher and poke out any lies.. but possesion stays calm and blank. That seems to satisfy loon however. He huffs slightly.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus purrs a bit, rubbing Posse's shoulder still. 💙"See? Big misunderstanding... We treat all our dougs as our own. Nobody got hurt, they were just freaking out today-"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…if I hear anymore of it I’m tearing out of this bed one way or another and bashing someone’s skull open.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"If I was, you'd know. You seem like a man that would have a nack for figuring something like that out."🦁

With that, he leads possession inside.

[endstar]

Posse comes in with a whole other dementor … nervous and flighty. Though- asmodeus can tell from the hive mind he’s acting.

He comes in and waves a bit at the other Doug’s.

∞"….hi? I was told to be here..”∞

The trapped Doug’s chatter and hiss slightly as they stare at… someone they have no clue is possession-

Loon stares… he stares heavily… beginning to try to pick possesion apart.. silently.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls back, giving Posse some space, playing along. 💙"It's alright... they ain't gonna bite."🦁

[endstar]

∞"they do though—"∞

I he says awkwardly before carefully approaching the other Doug’s further.

∞"Uhm.. anyway okay. We’re fine, not dead just— shaken…”∞

Loon narrows his eyes.

𓅯"…your a big fella.”𓅯

∞"I’m fed well! Good food.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"My wife's cooking at work."🦁

He nods. A half truth. Technically, her food did have to do a LOT with his appearance-

[endstar]

Loon glares some more with the heavy.. thinking face.. this demon Doug is very familiar. Possesion just looks down shly.

∞"I promise we’re fine. These demons are.. weird.. but they’re fine. Most of them. The Malak’s aren’t happy with the arrangement but they behave.”∞

Loons nose wrinkles slightly, but he seems.. more relaxed.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus purrs, and pats Possession's arm comfortingly.

[endstar]

𓅯"…so this is.. willing?”𓅯

∞"of course!”∞

Loon and him get into a staring contest again … loon trying to disepher and poke out any lies.. but possesion stays calm and blank. That seems to satisfy loon however. He huffs slightly.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"If I was, you'd know. You seem like a man that would have a nack for figuring something like that out."🦁

With that, he leads possession inside.

[endstar]

Posse comes in with a whole other dementor … nervous and flighty. Though- asmodeus can tell from the hive mind he’s acting.

He comes in and waves a bit at the other Doug’s.

∞"….hi? I was told to be here..”∞

The trapped Doug’s chatter and hiss slightly as they stare at… someone they have no clue is possession-

Loon stares… he stares heavily… beginning to try to pick possesion apart.. silently.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls back, giving Posse some space, playing along. 💙"It's alright... they ain't gonna bite."🦁

[endstar]

∞"they do though—"∞

I he says awkwardly before carefully approaching the other Doug’s further.

∞"Uhm.. anyway okay. We’re fine, not dead just— shaken…”∞

Loon narrows his eyes.

𓅯"…your a big fella.”𓅯

∞"I’m fed well! Good food.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"My wife's cooking at work."🦁

He nods. A half truth. Technically, her food did have to do a LOT with his appearance-

[endstar]

Loon glares some more with the heavy.. thinking face.. this demon Doug is very familiar. Possesion just looks down shly.

∞"I promise we’re fine. These demons are.. weird.. but they’re fine. Most of them. The Malak’s aren’t happy with the arrangement but they behave.”∞

Loons nose wrinkles slightly, but he seems.. more relaxed.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"If I was, you'd know. You seem like a man that would have a nack for figuring something like that out."🦁

With that, he leads possession inside.

[endstar]

Posse comes in with a whole other dementor … nervous and flighty. Though- asmodeus can tell from the hive mind he’s acting.

He comes in and waves a bit at the other Doug’s.

∞"….hi? I was told to be here..”∞

The trapped Doug’s chatter and hiss slightly as they stare at… someone they have no clue is possession-

Loon stares… he stares heavily… beginning to try to pick possesion apart.. silently.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls back, giving Posse some space, playing along. 💙"It's alright... they ain't gonna bite."🦁

[endstar]

∞"they do though—"∞

I he says awkwardly before carefully approaching the other Doug’s further.

∞"Uhm.. anyway okay. We’re fine, not dead just— shaken…”∞

Loon narrows his eyes.

𓅯"…your a big fella.”𓅯

∞"I’m fed well! Good food.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"If I was, you'd know. You seem like a man that would have a nack for figuring something like that out."🦁

With that, he leads possession inside.

[endstar]

Posse comes in with a whole other dementor … nervous and flighty. Though- asmodeus can tell from the hive mind he’s acting.

He comes in and waves a bit at the other Doug’s.

∞"….hi? I was told to be here..”∞

The trapped Doug’s chatter and hiss slightly as they stare at… someone they have no clue is possession-

Loon stares… he stares heavily… beginning to try to pick possesion apart.. silently.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls him back to the hospital room with the dougs. Knocking before entering. 💙"Didn't get a nurse with a chart on em, but one of our dougs woke up, and was willing to say hi. Fair warning, he's part demon in his au, if that makes you uncomfortable. I know you don't like our folk..."🦁

[endstar]

They all growl in his slightly they do not… exclaiming anger … they just look wary. 

𓅯"if your lying, I’ll kill you..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus rolls around the hospital, talking to nurses about charts the dougs have, while waiting for possession to show up.

[endstar]

Possesion does show up: he’s even got make up covering up his red splotches just so it’s less obvious-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"I'll still go see if the nurses have charts with your shots, just in case... I'll see you in, in a minute."🦁

[endstar]

∞"okkkayy!!”∞

He thinks cheerfully-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Still... be careful, last we want is for the dougs to lose their trust in us. Or for you to get hurt..."🦁

[endstar]

∞"we will. We always are!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

𓅯"SURE! GO AHED AND TRY!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

[endstar]

The Doug’s just hiss and whisper amongst one another… they probably just sent them a few steps back

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

His ears pin down sadly, and he looks for a nurse. 💙"Got some bad news... the past dougs heard ours screaming all the way from their hospital."🦁

[endstar]

∞"…oops.”∞

♐︎"our bad.”♐︎

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁

[endstar]

∞"yeah im sure i could do that- maybe .. fake another voice or something he might recognize me.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Be careful... We know how smart loon is, past or present. He might see through one of ya."🦁

[endstar]

∞"heh.. I lived with that man for YEARS! I know how his brain works… he’s working out everything at once, but he’s got his blind spots.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

The meeting room is a place of humour and freinds. It’s a place of kind souls, even if they do have their flaws They’re all good people…

At least that’s what the demons thought. That these mortals that have treated them so kindly and with patience are innocent and wise.

But

There was a time.

Long before any god, any Lucifer, or any jokes or fun. Violence rained. Filled the heart and soul and war still lead the minds of every AU that came. Conquest and genocide. The way of the people. Savagery.

The AUs weren’t always patient. And they weren’t always tired and tolerant of one another.

But the demons didn’t know that… or need to. Every history should be left to rot…

But sometimes?

It can’t help but remain as a stink.

Especially when a new strange portal opens up in the meeting room. Shining blood red and showing the symbol of a peacock, a rat and a snake all biting each other’s tails and clawing.

@endstar

The demons who had all gotten comfortable with the lives they had been rebuilding look to the portal warily. 🍲"Th-that looks... v-very violent..."🪰

Beelzebub mumbles.

Lucifer gets up from where he was hanging out with some new bitty lambttens, handing them to void malak as he takes a closer look at the portal. "...juuuuuuust when things were starting to look up-"

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan grooms them as they process it. "Aaaand he did it for a treat... maybe we could figure out a treat to make it worth it?"

[endstar]

They make less upset murmers… heads start poking out from beneath him like ducklings

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs, kissing their heads as they perk up. Letting them adjust to being part of the living again, and wrap their heads around getting their shots.

[endstar]

They sniffles and chirp slightly, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and they slowly adjust to being awake again

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan adjusts his weight to get off them slightly, in case they wish to come out of hiding.

[endstar]

A couple of them crawl out and pop down on the floor, adjusting their feathers and hair

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Some of their brothers satan's sons trot over and help fix them up. While satan's wives place some harnesses near by with leashes on them.

[endstar]

The Doug’s have a knee jerk reaction… they totally haven’t been leashed before by their beirces or anything and- climb up Satans leg- yelping-

“NOTAGAIN-“

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "It's the alternative to the shots- Cause I know you all won't not run around even if given rules."

He whines apologetically. "So either you get it over with, you stick close to one spot, or you wear those. Only solutions we have for the tetanus thing..."

[endstar]

They all whine loudly-

𓆟"fine fine! I’ll do it fine! Jusy no more of this shit!”𓆟

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He purrs and nuzzles them. "Okay... the nurses will do you whenever you're ready. And afterwards, we can do whatever you all want, okay?"

[endstar]

He nods and just whines- he pretty much just flops over anxiously

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs louder, and gives him and the other dougs kisses. Making sure they're as comfortable as they can be, while whispering about how proud he is of them and how brave they all are.

[endstar]

They all tremble anxiously, but seemed to be doing a bit better now that loon got through it… just very loudly upset

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... But you're going to be fine when it's done and over with. And no one is going to chase or force you to get them this time."

[endstar]

They all just make pathetic sounds-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He sighs, before flopping over with them and giving them all attention and affection. Just waiting for one of them to finally cave.

[endstar]

… eventually.. one does. Rip the Band-Aid mentality… though he’s shaking like a leaf when he approaches-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan gets up a little to cradle that doug, as he gets his shot. Going about it the same as lilith did. Hiding him, rubbing his arm so the nurse can swap with him, before letting go to let her get it over with. Hopefully, it makes getting the shot not as bad as usual for them.

[endstar]

He crys a bit- nearly passes out, but he’s overall fine- just curls up on Satan shaking.. but once one goes the rest of them follow… one by one the Doug’s approach

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

And each one gets a LOT of praise and loving along with their comfort. Satan purrs as another doug gets his shot. "You're doing so great... I'm so proud of you, and we're already done-"

[endstar]

“H-h-huhh?”

He says shaking, looking confused-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You got through your shot without a flinch, I'm so proud of you..."

[endstar]

He sniffles a bit, looking surprised before climbing up Satan with a dramatic whine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks his head, and purrs with pride. "You did so goooood-"

[endstar]

He coos a bit, but still shakes- trembling as he takes a deeeeep breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once all the dougs have their shots, satan coos over them, and gives them extra lovings. "Alright, it's all over- You're all done!"

He cuddles them all close. "That wasn't so bad this time, now was it-?"

[endstar]

"…less bad then getting chased..”

They whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Think you'll cooperate a little better next time if we start doing it like this?"

[endstar]

“…yeah..”

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Alright then... Time to convince possession to get his shot, and after that? We can go have some fun!"

[endstar]

They’ll make somewhat excited, mumbles and whimpers as they slowly mentally recover—-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan slowly gets up, and just carries them like a possum as they look for possession doug.

[endstar]

He does find posse… and he’s attempting to climb a tree. On his own, which he is famously unable to do- he’s too stocky but he tries very hard to climb up-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Posse! Get down from the tree, bud, we wanna talk-"

[endstar]

He hisses and goes to refuse but… instead slams onto the floor-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan flinches at the thud, and immediately comes over and starts sniffing for injury. "You okay?!"

[endstar]

He groans a bit wheezing… the wind was knocked out of the poor guy-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan pulls him into his arms, and with the other dougs. Just starting to rock him as he recovers. "Easy... I gotcha, just try and breathe, bud-"

[endstar]

He coughs a bit, trying his hardest to regain some breath- he manages he just seems- startled- immediately tried wiggling out

∞"NOOOO-!!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhhh shhh nothing's happening- I'm just holding you-"

He licks his hair a bit.

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit with unease- is this a trick?? Satan doesn’t usually do those- he just.. GLARES- as if Satan can see it

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Shhh shhh shhh... deep breaths... Deep breaths, bud... I'm here..."

[endstar]

He takes some deep breaths.. but from the hive and the tremble of his hands he is— PISSED- scared pissed-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, today is a really bad day... But I just want to talk to you."

[endstar]

∞"Wh.. whatever you say.. I’m NOT getting the shot!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"...Lilith got loon to get one. And everyone else got theirs willingly...""

He grooms him, purring as he holds him. "I'm not going to MAKE you get it, but you're gonna have to get it on your own eventually."

[endstar]

He blinks a bit … loon got it?? He shakes his head and- wacks at Satan a bit- out of pure anger

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan lets him, grunting at each hit. Letting him take out his anger on him.

[endstar]

He just growls and has a bit of a fit there… hissing and clawing, leaving scapes down him … but other then that? He can’t do much-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan purrs the whole time as he's clawed up, and keeps grooming him. Cleaning up his head and face.

[endstar]

He.. quickly tire himself out after struggling to climb for so long- he already didn’t have much left in the tank. H pants and just… grumbles underneath his breath

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Tuckered out?"

He rumbles.

[endstar]

∞"…no…”∞

He whines, plopping his head against Satan-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He chuckles a little in sympathy. "...You're the last one who needs it, bud. I'm not going to hold you down or anything, but you are eventually going to have to get it... But it will be your call."

[endstar]

∞"no.”∞

He growls

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"You're the last one left, and we're going to do something fun afterwards."

[endstar]

He just shakes his head no and growls at him1

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan sighs. "...It's for your health and safety bud. If you don't want a shot, alternative is either staying in a nest or wearing a leash."

[endstar]

He just makes- loud angry yelling and starts gnawing on him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satam just-

Let's him, even has his fangs tear into him. He's delt with fussy kids before, so he just lets Posse attack him-

[endstar]

Posse just has… a full meltdown- gnawing and smacking him- just.. angy

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan licks and kisses the back of his head, just letting him maul his arm. He grunts in slight pain, but that's about it.

[endstar]

He makes sounds equivalent to an angry kitten… but eventually he stops again.. too tired and just curls up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I'll be okay, bud... I promise..."

[endstar]

∞"just leeeaveee me alonnneee!!! I pick tetanus!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"And I pick a healthy son I love with all my heart."

[endstar]

He just- continues to whine

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan rumbles back at him, licking his head. "It'll only take a second... You won't even notice it."

[endstar]

∞"f-FINE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gets kisses. "Afterwards, we do whatever you guys want-"

He whines apologetically.

[endstar]

∞"hhhatehatehatehate…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"I know, I know, I know... Love you though, love you so much kiddo..."

[endstar]

He whines and just- gives Satan his arm-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He grabs it and starts rubbing it, before cradling him in his chest. "...You can bite me if you get too scared, just don't hurt the nurse when we get to her, okay?"

He starts trotting off with him, closer to the meeting room where the nurses had done the shots.

[endstar]

They’re still there packing up- but one approaches with the lassst shot- possession whines and makes an attempt to claw up Satan.. of course failing

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"She's not doing anything yet, you're okay- You're fine-"

He switches hands with her to get it over with.

[endstar]

She quickly needles him and he continues making upset sounds but… he might’ve not even felt it— he has such thick skin in nature, and a high pain tolerance-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

After the needle is out, and the bandaid is on, satan kisses his head. "There... all done!"

[endstar]

∞"I-it-it is???”∞

He sniffles a bit, looking up

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Yeah! It's been over for a solid minute now. Told ya you wouldn't notice..."

[endstar]

… he just makes a very angry huff and hugs him-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He gives him some more kisses, and licks his head. "...What exactly do you boys wanna do, now that THAT'S over?"

[endstar]

They all mummer. ∞"…sleep first…”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

"Nap time sounds good to me, come on- Let's get to an actual nest."

He carries them back to the meeting room, and back with his wives. Where he lays down in a huge pile of furs, and curls up around them.

[endstar]

They put up NOO fuss … all of them are so very tired from the deep stress they experienced… they all snuggle in and have a powernap

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Satan doses off, and happily naps with all of his sons :3

[endstar]

Meanwhile … loon and Lilith have gone out to get loons stash and—

They greatly underestimated how much of the damn drug he has- he has BUKETS of this powedery, red and purple shit- just… hiding in the wall of the meeting room- he pulls out a small baggy from it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"DAMN-"⚸

She stares. Mix of concerned, intimidated and... impressed...? Proud?

[endstar]

His tail wiggles a bit… mother is proud

He just closes the wall back up quickly, looking away from her.

𓅯"… had a lot of free time.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...I gotta get you into other shit, god damn!"⚸

She does that little shimmy she does when she's excited about something. ⚸"You know how to make crack too?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"…no- why would I know how to make that?”𓅯

He blinks-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Would you like to know?"⚸

She lights up with eagerness. Mother son bonding over cocaine-

[endstar]

𓅯”…sure why not—"𓅯

He shrugs, smiling a bit

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and kisses his head. Before leaning against a wall. ⚸"Alright... don't let me keep you then, enjoy your treat. Once it's out of your system, I'll teach you everything I know~"⚸

[endstar]

He nods and just- lights a join rolled with the shit and smokes it casually , sitting down while doing soo looking content-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just watches him, a soft smile on her face. Making sure he's comfortable. ⚸"Happy to have your own shit again-?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods heavily-

𓅯"hate being controlled…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She frowns a little, sympathetically. ⚸"Yeah?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods again. Jsut looking down

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...but you do understand that we don't control you because we WANT to, right?"⚸

She asks, placing a hand on his shoulder. ⚸"We like it about as much as you do..."⚸

[endstar]

He rolls his eyes, growling slightly.

𓅯"…sure.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...We really do, honey. It's been about safety. Out of everyone, you think I want to keep you away from the stuff you enjoy? Or control you?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"everyone else probably! Not you… but everyone else.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"...Not everyone else either. Not me, not the other demons, not the dougs... Only ones who would want you under control would be the other aus and the envy demons, like Leviathan. But that's just cause you're still a little scary... You've done a lot of good in a very short time, but everyone else is still antsy. A whole lot of our people trust you, but a good portion of everyone else still don't trust you... It's a fear thing, baby. Give it a hot minute, and people might throw you a bone."⚸

[endstar]

He just makes an annoyed growl but nothing else no point arguing with this woman-

He huffs and just combs his feathers

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She helps groom his wings. ⚸"...Doesn't change the fact that you're loved here, I hope you know that..."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"yeah..yeah,..”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She kisses his head. ⚸"I don't want you ever questioning if we all love you, okay...?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”Okay! Okay-!!”𓅯

He grunts-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She purrs, and keeps combing his wings. She loves her ex-genocidal son so much...

[endstar]

He just nuzzles her slightly…

After awhile the drug DOES kick in- and feral bb back but not evil- just… he can’t sit still and drools like a feral dog

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets a little tense, seeing him all feral and scary, but at least he isn't attacking anything. Still... She looks kinda nervous.

[endstar]

He doesn’t seem aggressive at all- just- walks around in circles. It makes more sense on why the Malak’s thought they were diseased… very sick animal behaviour but he doesn’t seem distressed- just-… energy to light suns.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She follows him passively, making soothing coos. She's a bit on alert tho, mildly worried because his body language makes her want to take him to a healer, even though he's just high-

[endstar]

He at some point just starts- climbing a wall, clinging to the wall paper-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She whines a little, watching him climb, but other than that, she's just glad he isn't freaking out too much. ⚸"Enjoying yourself a little-?"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯”ehhehehehheheh…”𓅯

He cackles a bit-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She snorts, before laughing with him. ⚸"Well, I'll take that as a yes then, ehehehe-"⚸

[endstar]

He climbs up into the rafters and jumps around, flapping to keep himself balanced

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She climbs after him, using her own wings and tail for balance. Just passively following him so he's safe. Maybe he's not so scary on this stuff... It's letting out a bit more of his feral side at least.

[endstar]

He occasionally slipped, but he always catches himself with his tail and claws back up to continue hopping around aimlessly.. no goal just a way to let out energy.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She squawks at him, and does a little dance at hm, trying to get him to play with her a little. Mama son bonding time :D

[endstar]

He coos and gently hops over to her to join her in little dance, flapping his wings a bit to retain his balance and nudge her-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She nuzzles and nudges him back, purring and cooing back at him. Teaching him how to playfully dance like a demon.

[endstar]

He’s a little confused and- sloppy but he obliges- adrenaline works aLOOOT different on him now with his demon side-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just keeps playing and dancing with him happily, occasionally stopping a few seconds to groom him before going back to dancing. Just a sweet little mother son dance :3

[endstar]

The worst is that he’s a little drooly-and occasionally chokes on it but he’s mostly fine-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Anytime he chokes, she panics a little, but makes sure he's okay and not drowning on his own spit. Maybe she should let him in his own stash more often... this isn't so bad.

[endstar]

Sometimes he needs to juust plop down and- open his mouth to let drool out- it’s like a fucking leaky faucet. He occasionally stumbles a bout on all fours but corrects himself a lot for it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She crawls on all fours with him when he stumbles, trying to make him feel like it's a bit more normal. Sure, the malaks aren't as feral, but the animalistic tendencies seem to be doing loon some good for his head.

[endstar]

He occasionally flops onto his belly with an angry whine

𓅯"uuuugh…”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You alright, baby?"⚸

She sniffs him over.

[endstar]

𓅯"it doesn’t feel weird to… animal walk and it should I don’t like it.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You'll get used to it... It was weird when I first changed, but it'll do you some good. Stretch some neglected muscles in your back."⚸

[endstar]

He whines some more and rolls into his back then back onto his belly…. Then he continues stumbling around-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She trots after him, a bit more gracefully than him. ⚸"Feet in front of each other. It'll make balancing easier."⚸

[endstar]

He huffs and hisses a bit- but he obeys mum and try’s his best-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

It makes him sway kinda like mama does, She walks a bit ahead, trotting, before slowing to a more relaxed and easier walk. It's kinda like how a cat walks.

[endstar]

He nearly falls on his face but he try’s to mimic it-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She uses her tail to right him, before slowly swaying. ⚸"Let the movement flow to the tip of your tail, it'll help with balancing. PRETEND you're an animal, playing like you are helps with tripping over your own feet, since you won't be worried about walking like a human. Helped me when I was getting the hang of things."⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"mmmmeh…”𓅯

He grumbles hesitantly

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it in no time-"⚸

She purrs proudly.

[endstar]

He just huffs and .. continues wandering and climbing animal hell taking him back and he REALLY wants up off the ground instinctively- clinging to the rafters like a deranged monkey-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She just follows him into the rafters, chattering happily. Showing him how to enjoy his animal side.

[endstar]

This goes on for hours … his energy never fades and he gets less shy about it. But when the drug starts to ware he immediately has a BIG energy crash.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Once he's tired, she picks him up and holds him. ⚸"Want that antidote, baby?"⚸

[endstar]

He nods with a mumble. He’s all sweaty and barely awake

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She drags him back to the main meeting room to some healers. Probably spooking some aus that can smell it, since he smells like his drug-

[endstar]

The aus whine with mild surprise and stare warily… but there’s not a scratch on her .. loon is being very cuddly and hides his head underneath her neck with a coo

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She gets him to a healer, who knows the drill, and gently bites an arm to pump him full of the anti-drug venom.

[endstar]

He hisses a bit at them but just- cuddles closer to mum with a sad sound-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"You're okay, and it's just going to make you feel better faster..."⚸

She kisses his head.

[endstar]

He just- clings to her desperately-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs, rubbing his back, till the healer lets go with a nod. Lilith rocks him like a fussy toddler, making sure he feels safe and loved. ⚸"You'll feel better in a moment, honey!"⚸

[endstar]

𓅯"I’ve.. done this a hundred times…”𓅯

He grunts

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"But the antidote will help you get through the nasty bits faster."⚸

[endstar]

He grumbles and just… snuggles

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles softly, and just keeps rocking him like a big baby. ⚸"...I'm tempted to give him back drug privileges-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"fucking kill me now.”∞

↓"if you do that i quit.”↓

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"What-? He was good on them when he got em as a shot treat! Wasn't even violent-"⚸

[endstar]

They all make concerned chattering

∞"…he didn’t want to tear your throat out?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He was too busy running around the rafters and dancing-"⚸

[endstar]

They aus all simultaneously make very loud confused chattering- DANCING??? DANCING??

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He looked like a parrot, ha-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"…I feel like throwing up.”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Don't throw up- If you are, go near a can or toilet-"⚸

[endstar]

∞"how do you even do this- HOW-“∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well... I'm good with people is the best way I can explain it-"⚸

She shrugs.

[endstar]

They all make confused whining-

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"Loon has been doing a lot better, whether you want to admit it or not... and he's gotten easier for me to read. I think it wouldn't hurt giving him a little bit more trust."⚸

[endstar]

∞"and what if that trust kill somebody again? Or he at least tries too?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'll take responsibility then. It's not like I'm going to let him take his drugs by himself, I'll supervise em! I'm not stupid."⚸

[endstar]

He groans with fear and … mild annoyance… this is going to be the death of them- letting loon get any free will

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"He is NOT an uncontrollable monster, and you all know it. He is a sad, lonely, violent man. And he's been getting less violent, if you all haven't noticed."⚸

[endstar]

∞"he is NOT a SAD MAN— THAT CREATURE CRAVES NOTHING BUT THE DEATH OF OTHERS FOR HIS OWN ENJOYMENT!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"I'm sorry, who spends almost 24/7 of their time with him?! He's either glued at my hip, or playing with the other dougs and his kid Morning! He hasn't been violent for a hot minute, outside of when she got kidnapped, and I think we can all agree that was reasonable. Maybe, just maybe, he's changing? Learning not to be violent, since not all of us see him as a complete and total monster?"⚸

[endstar]

∞"AND WHO HAD TO LIVE 10 YEARS WITH IS REIGN OF TERROR?! WHO HAD A MAN IN THE BACK OF HIS BRAIN BE HIS RIGHT HAND, AND WATCH THEM FUCKING SKIN MALAKS?!”∞

He bellows with anger within the hivemind.

∞"IM SO SORRY THAT IM NOT WILLING TO ROLL OVER AND BE EXITED TO LET HIM HAVE FREEDOM AFTER JUST A MONTH OF YOU TREATING HIM LIKE A BABY!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

⚸"Well am I TELLING you to be excited about it?! I know what he did, what his past self still wants to do, but unfortunately people can change! You all know that first hand. And he's not just getting freedom back after a few months, it's been longer than that, and before that, he was alone for hundreds of years! He changed back there, and he's changing here."⚸

She turns, showing off poor loon, resting in her arms. ⚸"Look at him... You don't gotta trust or love him, but just look at him for two seconds and tell me he's the same man that we got locked up in the hospital..."⚸

[endstar]

Loon is dead asleep. Curled up comfortably in her arms out like a light.. and still on his face crosses clear disgust and distrust… even in his peaceful slumber, anxiety spikes.

∞"…there is NOTHING you or HE can do to make me trust this… dumb, attachment. No man can change or redeem himself from what he did. You would feel the same if you were there. But you weren’t. You were in that place for a few hours at most. You didn’t have to LIVE with that! UNABLE TO LEAVE!”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She sighs. ⚸"...Maybe if we were stuck there, and I didn't know em, sure... But as of now? I'd still love em even if past loon did something to one of us. We still see every version of you from that place as different people. People you used to be, sure, but that was years ago. Their choices are not the same ones you'd all make anymore, even his. Morning was in there, a prisoner for weeks, and her spark didn't dim once. She even started calling em dad even after being held by his more evil self, I've never seen a stray so ready to have a parent again... He's changing, whether you like it or not, and one of these days, you might see what I see, even just a glimpse..."⚸

She combs his feathers. ⚸"...and only way for him to prove himself, is to give him an inch of trust. I will take sole responsibility for his actions, but I have faith that he won't betray my trust."⚸

[endstar]

He just huffs heavily and puts his head in his hands, nothing left to say

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She carries loon away from them, and just sits near satan with the dougs. She starts aggressively purring, grooming loon as he sleeps.

[endstar]

He puffs up and- just absolutely curls up- little cuddly fluff ball

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

She smiles a little at that, and purrs harder. The tension headache leaving her after arguing with the malaks. She knows her baby is sweet, deep, deep down.

[endstar]

He coos deeply , rumbling in his throat as he sleeps very deeply- he ain’t waking up anytime soon

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Morning trots up, having not been too far from where lilith had dragged him, and immediately gets into the cuddle pile. Her face scrunches from the smell of the drugs, but other than that, she falls right asleep in his floof.

[endstar]

He coos heavily and sleeps for houuurrrasss- without stir or anything

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Lilith and satan keep watch over them all, Loon, Morning, and the Dougs as they rest. Just enjoying the quiet moments.

[endstar]

…

Meanwhile the Doug’s in the hospital are PANICKING- hearing the wails of the distant Doug’s. Loon hisses of their deaths and that just- eggs them on

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

They eventually hear a knock on the hospital door. Are these demons going to finally show their true colors..? This is when they drop the acts, isn't it?!

[endstar]

They Doug’s hiss and snarl at the knock, trembling on their beds.

𓅯"BEGONE!"𓅯

Loon bellows

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Woah, woah, easy now- just me...!"🦁

They hear a familiar smooth voice from the other side of the door. As the strange demon in the wheelchair rolls in. 💙"What's got you all riled up, what happened..?"🦁

...they're feigning ignorance.

[endstar]

He yowls at him.

𓅯"DONT PLAY DUMB! WE HEARD THOSE SCREAMS!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He flinches a little. But he has a look of understanding. 💙"Ooooh... they were that loud-?"🦁

[endstar]

𓅯" I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD ONE DAY! ILL PUT IY ON MY FUCKING WALL!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Calm down, I can explain-"🦁

He puts his hands up in a pacifying gesture. 💙"They were just scared, is all-"🦁

[endstar]

He snarls.

𓅯"OF DANGER!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"No- No they weren't in danger, and they're fine now... I promise, they're all napping with satan and my wife now. The other aus just had a pretty cruel way of getting them... S... H... O... T... S..."🦁

[endstar]

They blink- what- loon hisses still full of distrust.

𓅯"…Speak UP.”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He rolls closer. 💙"They were getting shots for tetanus, and the aus had the "wise" idea of just chasing em down and hoping their fear of needles would make them pass out- Apparently, they've been doing it for decades. Satan and lilith calmed em down, got the shots more willingly. That screaming you heard was from a nurse sneaking it."🦁

[endstar]

𓅯"…what..”𓅯

He stares immediately looking- baffled out of rage

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Today was just shot day, and the other aus were assholes about giving it to our dougs- They were screaming over needles, nothing more."🦁

[endstar]

He… stares heavily…

What the fuck.

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

Asmodeus nods slowly. 💙"Yeah... That's what that yelling was about. Sorry if it spooked ya, didn't even think they would reach here... Though they DID scream pretty loud- But no one was hurt, no one died, and everyone was okay. It was just tetanus stuff."🦁

[endstar]

He stares frozen for while and so do the other Doug’s.. what.. lie was that?! What in the sweet HELL-! He gets a snarl from loon

𓅯"LIAR!”𓅯

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

He raises his hands. 💙"I'm being honest, I swear-! They all just got vaccines, and were freaking out over em- We would never hurt our dougs intentionally, I swear... And we still ain't going to hurt you. You... You want proof or something-?"🦁

He backs up a little, giving loon a little more space.

[endstar]

He sighs, shaking his head. 💙"Alright... I'll see if the nurses got some charts for em on hand or something. Or I could send bomber as a witness, if he's not hiding- I wouldn't be surprised if he got spooked by the screaming too... Again, really sorry about this scaring ya-"🦁

He starts rolling away.

💙"It's alright, not your fault... But poor loon and the crew are mighty spooked. Think we killed ya, or worse, and now they want proof that we didn't-"🦁

∞"…. Sooo you want us to show we ain’t?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"In away that won't scare em more, hopefully- Going to see if the nurses have charts for you all now to show em. If not, anyone got any other ideas for proof of life?"🦁

[endstar]

∞"…uh. Show up…?”∞

[random-brain-rpz-4-friends]

💙"Maybe... But I'm kinda worried about freaking them out with the whole part demon thing... Unless you can bullshit that being what your aus are about. That could work."🦁
