“..Adi. Huchers.” @highachiever-adi - Tumblr Blog

((teehee))

A small, and definitely underaged child managed to wander into the bar (idk if..like- Maxine is just there..shrugs….) clearly confused…what does thou do?

“..what the?…”

Maxine bent down to the girls level, looking confused.

The girl looks up, also confused.

“hello..Uhm. Do you happen to work here? Wherever..here..is?”

she had quite the manners. Clearly a wealthy and educated child. Even wearing a school uniform.

“if so…can you help me?”

Maxine said, getting off their knees.

“okay..”

the girl quietly followed behind. What child could possibly decline the offer of juice? Personally I love juice.

Maxine grumbled to herself at the bitches who left their own child alone. She sighed and sat her down, giving the girl a small glass and some juice. Just a few days ago Vinnie had talked non stop about a baby named “maggot” not that she hated it. She smiled at the thought then remembered the task at hand.

She poured the juice in the glass and smiled a bit.

“Hope it taste good kid..”

#COUGHS if only Maxine knew the truth guys #GEULP

Adi very elegantly sipped the juice. Yummers- apple juice!!!!

“it does-! I can’t thank you enough..sorry to come and bother you like this, miss. I know you’re probably a hard worker..”

((teehee))

((DOODLE DUMP:))

((TOP IMAGE IS THE ONE UR SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT I JS COULDNT CROP OUT THE OTHER ONE 😞))

((Mhmm..giving her a companion possibly.))

((I don’t use her blog enough lol-))

Below you, say a foot or two, was the small girl you and Maple were now Looking after. Strange, huh?

She was looking around, unfamiliar with her surroundings. Yes. But there this strange tension coming from her. It’s like she’s afraid of something.

I mean, what is there to be Afraid of? didn’t anyone hear the recent news?

Olive Huchers claimed dead.

But she looked so on edge. Maybe the situation was overwhelming. She wasn’t stupid. She knew something was going on. Why else would stone just- leave her in this little shack house?

But anyways. uhhh…yeah.

— baby blue..heh.(@ask-adi-huchers)

“Hey, kiddo. I’m assuming you want to know why Stone brought you here, yeah? You’re uh… you’re going to want to sit down for this.”

*Zaria gestures towards the couch, going over there herself to sit*

#This goes for all my blogs btw

She climbed up on the couch, sitting in a polite manner. Back straight, hands together on her lap. She was just raised like that.

to be perfect.

“did Mr stone and Mr Sora not like..me? How come they had to go away?”

She tilts her head, frowning.

“was I bad..?”

#Laughs evilly

local-loudmouth

Asks on all blog will be off for a bit, due to the gore bots.

((I COULDNT WAIT IM SORRY IM TOO IMPATIENT-))

“..Sora?”

below you was Adi. She was a bit curious right now. I guess she was at that stage, lmao. She looked up at him with big ol eyes. But stood in a polite way.

((Totally not an an excuse for anything wink wink))

— @ask-adi-huchers

“Oh! Hello Adi!,” he greeted warmly.

It’s been a while since they’ve last interacted. Sora was quite curious on what the child had to say.

He crouched down to her height to understand her properly.

“What’s wrong Pequeña?”, he asked softly, “do you need something?”

“No..I was wondering something.”

She gently grabbed Sora’s hand, pointing at the ring.

“what’s this ring from?”

Adi looked at the shine, amazed by it. Has girly never seen a ring before-

small-world-au

Sora flushed, “o-oh! Stone gave to me. After he proposed to me…heh!”

Sora then hid his red face, oh god! He still remembers the day he and Stone married. It was a beautiful day…although no one showed up, lol.

“It’s beautiful, isn’t it???”, he asked softly.

#ramshackle #ramshackle au #ramshackle ocs #ramshackle sora #ramshackle adi #ayeee #*crashes out*

“Ohhhh..”

She was understanding a bit more. Sorta. I dunno, she’s never seen a guy and a guy love each other. Her dad wasn’t fond of that stuff. Oops-

“how come you never yell or get mad at each other-? I thought that’s what love was. When you get yelled at?”

#ADI!!!!#I’VE MISSED HER SO MUCH!!!!#wonder what she needs!#<- :3

“No..I was wondering something.”

She gently grabbed Sora’s hand, pointing at the ring.

“what’s this ring from?”

Adi looked at the shine, amazed by it. Has girly never seen a ring before-

Hey kid, sorry for the long wait. Life’s been kicking my butt. I’ve gotten about half of the cards done, though. Anyways, me and a couple friends are looking to spend some money from someone’s bank account since he’s probably going to get jail for life, so do you want me to get you anything?

*Zaria looks has some eye bags and three scars on her face, so she isn’t lying when she said life’s kicked her butt*

Adi was currently playing with one of his toys, looking a lot more healthily and happier then before. She turned to Zaria, smile and all.

“that’s ok, I don’t really mind waiting. Take your time.”

she smiled, looking surprisingly cheerful. But very obvious to Zaria’s current state.

Though, she was rather curious about the new jail situation. No one was telling her, and honestly? It pissed her off a bit.

But like the polite young lady she was, Adi didn’t mention it.

“no, I’m okay. Thank you for the offer, though.”

“You sure? I mean, you’ve been through a lot, it’s the least I can do.”

*Zaria sat down, a knowing smile on her face*

“Y’know? I remember being a kid and no one told me anything. It pissed me off. You wanna know what happened, kid?”

She nodded.

“It’s alright. I have enough things.”

Adi fidgeted with her hands, sorta in a trance. Which faded quickly, as her attention focused on Zaria again.

“Really..? You’ll tell me?”

Her eyes lit up. Curiosity through the damn roof. She tilted her head, in a slightly state of disbelief.

“Yeah. So Sora’s half-sibling, Rowan, decided it would be a great idea to try and murder Sora. It didn’t go over well since I had followed her from the store since we ended up going shopping together. That’s how I got these bad boys.”

*Zaria pointed at her scars*

“Anyways, Sora got stabbed in the abdomen - don’t worry, he’s fine. He’s in the hospital recovering as we speak - and I got his friends and fiancé. Rowan got the crap beat out of him and got put into prison. We’ve been spending Rowan’s money since she won’t be needing it anymore and I came here to see if you wanted anything since we have a lot of money to spare.”

*The topic of Rowan was a tough one for Zaria, but she’ll be damned if Adi knows it. She held onto the scarf she was wearing, it was one of Rowan’s. The last good thing to remember him by. She says last good thing because of, yknow, the scars on her face. Her parents would flip if they saw her now. So would, like, all of the loot bags she once knew. She likes that. She likes knowing that she doesn’t fit into their perceived vision of her anymore. Too bad the first thing she thinks of when she sees them is Rowan, having absolutely snapped, stabbing Sora*

“O-oh. That sounds really..scary..”

The story sort of remind Adi of her own presence of death. It scared her, you know. The thought of dying? What would if feel like? How much would it hurt?

..she didn’t wanna find out.

“It’s a good thing he’s okay. Sora is very nice. He gives me a lot of cookies”

she continued

“Rowan was scary. I never did Like her as much. But he’s a bad guy. like-..”

She cut herself off, looking a bit tense. You can probably guess who she’s talking about.

“Yeah, I know. It’s scary. But hey, it’s all going to turn out alright, got it? No need to worry.”

*hypocrite*

“Sora’ll be back and ready to make cookies before you know it! And yeah, Rowan is a bad guy. And she’s locked away, like other bad guys. So no need to worry about anything.”

She nodded, once again, giving her a big ol hug. If we’re being honest here, Adi definitely saw Zaria as the older sibling she never really had. well, up until a point.

“you’re really nice, Zaria.”

she looked up, starring at Her with wide eyes.

“You remind me of my mother.”

A- oh shit- uh. Woah. Was that like, a bad thing?

*Zaria hugged back*

“I’m going to assume that was a compliment. Thanks, Adi.”

She nods

“Don’t worry, it was. She was nice, like you. And pretty, too.”

Adi straighten her headband, brushing off some invisible dust.

“I miss her, sometimes. Father, too. He just left us. And I don’t know why.”

Poor girl had no idea what had happened to her father. She had no idea he too had died. Yikes..

*Zaria inhaled. Hoo boy.*

“You uh… you might want to sit down kid.”

Admittedly, She was confused.

“You know what happened to my father? Where is he? Is he ok?”

She sat back down, looking at Zaria with big eyes. Like a cat, really. A very curious yet impatient cat.

“He’s- he’s dead, kid. He died before your mom did.”

*Zaria couldn’t look Adi in the eyes. This was hard news to deliver, but someone had to do it.*

Her eyes dulled, slowly filling with tears. She sniffled, rubbing her eyes before the tears could stream down her face.

“o-oh. I S-see.”

She grippped the rims of her dress, an attempt of comfort.

“that’s why mother was crying that night..”

Adi sniffled again, looking back up at Zaria. A look of worry and fear struck through her.

“you’re not going to abandon me like they did, a-are you?”

she gave Zaria a sad look.

“it seems like everyone leaves me..”

*Zaria felt a sand pang in her heart. She did this to Adi. I mean, she didn’t murder her father, but she did seem to be the harbinger of bad news recently*

“Of course not, kiddo! Your father didn’t leave on purpose, and I guarantee that if he was still here he’d be doing… uh… whatever fathers do to bond with their kids I’m not really sure.”

“I hope so..”

She looked back at the ground, spacing out a bit. She started debating if it were true or not.

“I wonder if the other ghosts are treating them well. I really hope so..”

Her eyes were less watery now. I guess she was done with the crying for a bit.

“I wonder if the other ghosts are nice..”

“I bet you the other ghosts are having so much fun with your parents. Maybe they’re having tea parties!”

*While Zaria didn’t know much about things that connected between adult likes and child likes, she knew that a lot of times tea was served in meetings. That counts as a tea party, right? Zaria remembered how Jay had led Olive and Adi’s mother to the afterlife. Yeah, the other ghosts were probably nice*

she giggled, her frown forming into a slight smile.

“Yeah..y-yeah! An-and biscuits, too..!”

*Zaria internally pumped her fist. YESSSSS. She did it! Oh fuck what else is at tea parties*

“Yeah! And cookies! All kinds of cookies!”

“An-!! An’ cakes, too!!”

Her smile was practically ear-to-ear. This was probably the happiest you’ve ever seen her, to be honest. It’s been awhile since Adi had felt such joy..

“Yeah! And uh…. uh… sugar cubes?”

*Zaria doesn’t know what goes in a tea party man*

“sugar cubes..?”

she gasped

“SUGAR CUBES!!”

she then continued to go on, and on about tea party adequate and what not. How to sit, how to drink, the pinky rule, yk. Rich richy fancy stuff. Or something.

Aw! What a sweet kid :]

*Zaria was mentally taking notes the whole fucking time. She’s probably going to have a tea party with Adi sometime soon, so she might want to know how they work lol*

after a couple more minutes of babbling, the girl stopped. Taking a couple deep breaths. She uh- she wasn’t use to talking for so long. Lmao. Usually she would have been shut up by now.

“mother use to host them all the time, with her friends! Though, her tea didn’t really look right. And it smelled funny.”

She adjusted her posture a bit, making it more formal.

“I took a tiny sip, and it was so gross! It tasted yuck..”

Hmm..gee, I wonder what beverage she was taking abo-

wine. It was wine.

“That uh. That might’ve been alcohol, kiddo. Those are adult drinks.”

*Zaria smiled again. Yeah no this was her child now. Sucks to suck whatever the fuck Adi’s moms name was*

“Oh. Why did they taste so bad? Why do adults drink that stuff-?”

She Sorta asked herself, just thinking for a bit.

“I don’t know kid, I don’t know.”

#its mainly due to trauma #but still #<- poor zaria D:

“They must be real fuckin’ stupid!”

a-..did she just swear.

She beamed with pride, quite proud of her accusation. If she’s being honesty, though? She had no idea how bad that word was. She just heard it alot from her family, so she thought it was some cool word!

but yeah uh- I don’t think a 9 year is should know that word. Lmao.

Hey kid, sorry for the long wait. Life’s been kicking my butt. I’ve gotten about half of the cards done, though. Anyways, me and a couple friends are looking to spend some money from someone’s bank account since he’s probably going to get jail for life, so do you want me to get you anything?

Adi was currently playing with one of his toys, looking a lot more healthily and happier then before. She turned to Zaria, smile and all.

“that’s ok, I don’t really mind waiting. Take your time.”

she smiled, looking surprisingly cheerful. But very obvious to Zaria’s current state.

Though, she was rather curious about the new jail situation. No one was telling her, and honestly? It pissed her off a bit.

But like the polite young lady she was, Adi didn’t mention it.

she then continued to go on, and on about tea party adequate and what not. How to sit, how to drink, the pinky rule, yk. Rich richy fancy stuff. Or something.

Aw! What a sweet kid :]

*Zaria was mentally taking notes the whole fucking time. She’s probably going to have a tea party with Adi sometime soon, so she might want to know how they work lol*

#Curious lil gal she is lmao

after a couple more minutes of babbling, the girl stopped. Taking a couple deep breaths. She uh- she wasn’t use to talking for so long. Lmao. Usually she would have been shut up by now.

“mother use to host them all the time, with her friends! Though, her tea didn’t really look right. And it smelled funny.”

She adjusted her posture a bit, making it more formal.

“I took a tiny sip, and it was so gross! It tasted yuck..”

Hmm..gee, I wonder what beverage she was taking abo-

wine. It was wine.

Hey kid, sorry for the long wait. Life’s been kicking my butt. I’ve gotten about half of the cards done, though. Anyways, me and a couple friends are looking to spend some money from someone’s bank account since he’s probably going to get jail for life, so do you want me to get you anything?

*Zaria looks has some eye bags and three scars on her face, so she isn’t lying when she said life’s kicked her butt*

Adi was currently playing with one of his toys, looking a lot more healthily and happier then before. She turned to Zaria, smile and all.

“that’s ok, I don’t really mind waiting. Take your time.”

she smiled, looking surprisingly cheerful. But very obvious to Zaria’s current state.

Though, she was rather curious about the new jail situation. No one was telling her, and honestly? It pissed her off a bit.

But like the polite young lady she was, Adi didn’t mention it.

“no, I’m okay. Thank you for the offer, though.”

“You sure? I mean, you’ve been through a lot, it’s the least I can do.”

*Zaria sat down, a knowing smile on her face*

“Y’know? I remember being a kid and no one told me anything. It pissed me off. You wanna know what happened, kid?”

She nodded.

“It’s alright. I have enough things.”

Adi fidgeted with her hands, sorta in a trance. Which faded quickly, as her attention focused on Zaria again.

“Really..? You’ll tell me?”

Her eyes lit up. Curiosity through the damn roof. She tilted her head, in a slightly state of disbelief.

“Yeah. So Sora’s half-sibling, Rowan, decided it would be a great idea to try and murder Sora. It didn’t go over well since I had followed her from the store since we ended up going shopping together. That’s how I got these bad boys.”

*Zaria pointed at her scars*

“Anyways, Sora got stabbed in the abdomen - don’t worry, he’s fine. He’s in the hospital recovering as we speak - and I got his friends and fiancé. Rowan got the crap beat out of him and got put into prison. We’ve been spending Rowan’s money since she won’t be needing it anymore and I came here to see if you wanted anything since we have a lot of money to spare.”

*The topic of Rowan was a tough one for Zaria, but she’ll be damned if Adi knows it. She held onto the scarf she was wearing, it was one of Rowan’s. The last good thing to remember him by. She says last good thing because of, yknow, the scars on her face. Her parents would flip if they saw her now. So would, like, all of the loot bags she once knew. She likes that. She likes knowing that she doesn’t fit into their perceived vision of her anymore. Too bad the first thing she thinks of when she sees them is Rowan, having absolutely snapped, stabbing Sora*

“O-oh. That sounds really..scary..”

The story sort of remind Adi of her own presence of death. It scared her, you know. The thought of dying? What would if feel like? How much would it hurt?

..she didn’t wanna find out.

“It’s a good thing he’s okay. Sora is very nice. He gives me a lot of cookies”

she continued

“Rowan was scary. I never did Like her as much. But he’s a bad guy. like-..”

She cut herself off, looking a bit tense. You can probably guess who she’s talking about.

“Yeah, I know. It’s scary. But hey, it’s all going to turn out alright, got it? No need to worry.”

*hypocrite*

“Sora’ll be back and ready to make cookies before you know it! And yeah, Rowan is a bad guy. And she’s locked away, like other bad guys. So no need to worry about anything.”

She nodded, once again, giving her a big ol hug. If we’re being honest here, Adi definitely saw Zaria as the older sibling she never really had. well, up until a point.

“you’re really nice, Zaria.”

she looked up, starring at Her with wide eyes.

“You remind me of my mother.”

A- oh shit- uh. Woah. Was that like, a bad thing?

*Zaria hugged back*

“I’m going to assume that was a compliment. Thanks, Adi.”

She nods

“Don’t worry, it was. She was nice, like you. And pretty, too.”

Adi straighten her headband, brushing off some invisible dust.

“I miss her, sometimes. Father, too. He just left us. And I don’t know why.”

Poor girl had no idea what had happened to her father. She had no idea he too had died. Yikes..

*Zaria inhaled. Hoo boy.*

“You uh… you might want to sit down kid.”

Admittedly, She was confused.

“You know what happened to my father? Where is he? Is he ok?”

She sat back down, looking at Zaria with big eyes. Like a cat, really. A very curious yet impatient cat.

“He’s- he’s dead, kid. He died before your mom did.”

*Zaria couldn’t look Adi in the eyes. This was hard news to deliver, but someone had to do it.*

Her eyes dulled, slowly filling with tears. She sniffled, rubbing her eyes before the tears could stream down her face.

“o-oh. I S-see.”

She grippped the rims of her dress, an attempt of comfort.

“that’s why mother was crying that night..”

Adi sniffled again, looking back up at Zaria. A look of worry and fear struck through her.

“you’re not going to abandon me like they did, a-are you?”

she gave Zaria a sad look.

“it seems like everyone leaves me..”

*Zaria felt a sand pang in her heart. She did this to Adi. I mean, she didn’t murder her father, but she did seem to be the harbinger of bad news recently*

“Of course not, kiddo! Your father didn’t leave on purpose, and I guarantee that if he was still here he’d be doing… uh… whatever fathers do to bond with their kids I’m not really sure.”

“I hope so..”

She looked back at the ground, spacing out a bit. She started debating if it were true or not.

“I wonder if the other ghosts are treating them well. I really hope so..”

Her eyes were less watery now. I guess she was done with the crying for a bit.

“I wonder if the other ghosts are nice..”

“I bet you the other ghosts are having so much fun with your parents. Maybe they’re having tea parties!”

*While Zaria didn’t know much about things that connected between adult likes and child likes, she knew that a lot of times tea was served in meetings. That counts as a tea party, right? Zaria remembered how Jay had led Olive and Adi’s mother to the afterlife. Yeah, the other ghosts were probably nice*

she giggled, her frown forming into a slight smile.

“Yeah..y-yeah! An-and biscuits, too..!”

*Zaria internally pumped her fist. YESSSSS. She did it! Oh fuck what else is at tea parties*

“Yeah! And cookies! All kinds of cookies!”

“An-!! An’ cakes, too!!”

Her smile was practically ear-to-ear. This was probably the happiest you’ve ever seen her, to be honest. It’s been awhile since Adi had felt such joy..

“Yeah! And uh…. uh… sugar cubes?”

*Zaria doesn’t know what goes in a tea party man*

#<— HOW ABOUT BOTH /silly #<- WAIT UR RIGHT #lowkey might have to draw them after this…

“sugar cubes..?”

she gasped

“SUGAR CUBES!!”

she then continued to go on, and on about tea party adequate and what not. How to sit, how to drink, the pinky rule, yk. Rich richy fancy stuff. Or something.

Her eyes were less watery now. I guess she was done with the crying for a bit.

“I wonder if the other ghosts are nice..”

Hey kid, sorry for the long wait. Life’s been kicking my butt. I’ve gotten about half of the cards done, though. Anyways, me and a couple friends are looking to spend some money from someone’s bank account since he’s probably going to get jail for life, so do you want me to get you anything?

*Zaria looks has some eye bags and three scars on her face, so she isn’t lying when she said life’s kicked her butt*

Adi was currently playing with one of his toys, looking a lot more healthily and happier then before. She turned to Zaria, smile and all.

“that’s ok, I don’t really mind waiting. Take your time.”

she smiled, looking surprisingly cheerful. But very obvious to Zaria’s current state.

Though, she was rather curious about the new jail situation. No one was telling her, and honestly? It pissed her off a bit.

But like the polite young lady she was, Adi didn’t mention it.

“no, I’m okay. Thank you for the offer, though.”

“You sure? I mean, you’ve been through a lot, it’s the least I can do.”

*Zaria sat down, a knowing smile on her face*

“Y’know? I remember being a kid and no one told me anything. It pissed me off. You wanna know what happened, kid?”

She nodded.

“It’s alright. I have enough things.”

Adi fidgeted with her hands, sorta in a trance. Which faded quickly, as her attention focused on Zaria again.

“Really..? You’ll tell me?”

Her eyes lit up. Curiosity through the damn roof. She tilted her head, in a slightly state of disbelief.

“Yeah. So Sora’s half-sibling, Rowan, decided it would be a great idea to try and murder Sora. It didn’t go over well since I had followed her from the store since we ended up going shopping together. That’s how I got these bad boys.”

*Zaria pointed at her scars*

“Anyways, Sora got stabbed in the abdomen - don’t worry, he’s fine. He’s in the hospital recovering as we speak - and I got his friends and fiancé. Rowan got the crap beat out of him and got put into prison. We’ve been spending Rowan’s money since she won’t be needing it anymore and I came here to see if you wanted anything since we have a lot of money to spare.”

*The topic of Rowan was a tough one for Zaria, but she’ll be damned if Adi knows it. She held onto the scarf she was wearing, it was one of Rowan’s. The last good thing to remember him by. She says last good thing because of, yknow, the scars on her face. Her parents would flip if they saw her now. So would, like, all of the loot bags she once knew. She likes that. She likes knowing that she doesn’t fit into their perceived vision of her anymore. Too bad the first thing she thinks of when she sees them is Rowan, having absolutely snapped, stabbing Sora*

“O-oh. That sounds really..scary..”

The story sort of remind Adi of her own presence of death. It scared her, you know. The thought of dying? What would if feel like? How much would it hurt?

..she didn’t wanna find out.

“It’s a good thing he’s okay. Sora is very nice. He gives me a lot of cookies”

she continued

“Rowan was scary. I never did Like her as much. But he’s a bad guy. like-..”

She cut herself off, looking a bit tense. You can probably guess who she’s talking about.

“Yeah, I know. It’s scary. But hey, it’s all going to turn out alright, got it? No need to worry.”

*hypocrite*

“Sora’ll be back and ready to make cookies before you know it! And yeah, Rowan is a bad guy. And she’s locked away, like other bad guys. So no need to worry about anything.”

She nodded, once again, giving her a big ol hug. If we’re being honest here, Adi definitely saw Zaria as the older sibling she never really had. well, up until a point.

“you’re really nice, Zaria.”

she looked up, starring at Her with wide eyes.

“You remind me of my mother.”

A- oh shit- uh. Woah. Was that like, a bad thing?

*Zaria hugged back*

“I’m going to assume that was a compliment. Thanks, Adi.”
