As Mantis breathed out, Jaunty breathed in, inhaling the steam from the taller bot and letting it warm his lungs. It was a small action, but he loved the feeling of having a part of Mantis inside him.
He tilted his head slightly and looked down to see the hand on his thigh, tensing slightly when its claws shredded his pants and the soft metal of his leg. "O-oh... Now this is more like it..." A moment later, the pain of having his thigh cut into hit him and he quietly whined, unconsciously flinching as the hand rose higher.
He watched as it grazed past the vent on his thigh and he choked back a scream, quivering from the unexpected pain. When it finally stopped, resting high on his leg, he couldn't help the quick twitch of his hips, his body wanting something his mind didn't fully understand yet. "...Keep going."
A Summer at Jaunty's
Walle noticed how the cube dimmed when Robert left. He stayed by it, curious to see if it will come alive again when Robert returned.
If Shojo were standing she’d surely have fallen by now. Being in that dark basement with no air flow and having something attack her made her quite frightened. She scooted closer to Jaunty as she read, wanting to be near someone she trusted. She gasped and pulled Jaunty’s arm to alert him.
"Jaunty, look at this! I bet you anything that that metal liquid thingy in that box is what they’re talking about here. And look, a new clue! Brook Glen," she read aloud. “I wonder where that i- wait. Highly toxic??" She looked down at her arm again, turning it over and frowning at it.
When Robert came back, the box did go back to glowing pleasantly, dimming only slightly after he passed it. He cautiously stepped over to Shojo, offering her the glass of water. "Here you are, dear... I hope you're alright. No more fainting or anything, if you can help it." He chuckled, but it was rather nervous. His guests' comfort, as well as his own, was quickly becoming priority.
At Shojo's insistence, Jaunty put his attention to her and her book, his eyes skimming the page. "Huh? Brooklyn?" he asked confusedly. "That's in N-New York, silly!" He gave Shojo a playful hit to her shoulder, laughing at her. He all but ignored the comment about the toxic substance, not seeming to understand the issue.
By this point, Jaunty had stopped looking through his book as it had started to bore him. Sure, there were a bunch of pictures, but hardly any words to go with them. Pretty useless, all things considered. He decided listening to Shojo was a better choice, but he kept the book open. The page it was turned to had a hand-drawn image of some strange plant on the left while on the right was a crude map of the world, lightly shaded in on various spots.
Walle lets Coy lead him away, not minding leaving the room. ºI-I-I understand,º he stammered, wiping away Jaunty's kisses. He stayed outside while Shojo stayed with Jaunty, continuing to pet his head and shushing him quietly. "It's okay Jaunty, it's gonna be okay," she cooed. She needed to distract him. "Hey, Jaunty, guess what?" She smiled down at him and brought his hand up to touch her abdomen. "I'm pregnant," she whispered.
Once out of the room, Coy quickly shut the door behind him, leaning against it as he sighed. He gave Walle a once-over, shook his head lightly, and his eyes darted up to the ceiling for a moment as if he were silently asking some imaginary being if they were witnessing what he had to deal with. Once composed again, he took his weight off the door and smiled at Walle. “I’m going to have to ask. You to keep your voice down. As well. At least until. This blows over."
Jaunty was shivering in Shojo’s arms, but he seemed much calmer now that Walle was out of his sight. Her touches were oddly soothing, more so than usual, and had he been in a clearer state of mind he may have wondered if having skin and nerves had something to do with it.
"W-w-wait… You say… a baby…? A baby? A baby!" At her news, he craned his neck up to look at her, giving her a bright grin, before grimacing and laying his head down again, putting a hand to the back of his neck. Stupid bones. “Oww… but that is gr-great news, miss Shojo…" He smiled and lightly rubbed at her stomach, almost expecting to feel an outline of a small human there.
shojo replied to your post: [on again, off again. maybe i can stay for longer...
((*jumps on you* yes please? :3 imissseeingyouonmydashandyoujustmademysmilesomuchandimgonnashutupandgoawaynowkthxbye))
[gracious me. im happy to see that you missed me so much. i promise i will try to keep things at an even pace here. i have a lot of things planned and this pausing and unpausing business is bad for plot...]
The normally very active racybot was standing, knees slightly bent, slouched over a little, obviously in stasis. With a hiss of steam he wobbled back and forth the faintest bit. Knee pistons shifted, bouncing the bot’s chassis a little. He was wearing a his fedora, a blue tie, and his black slacks - no shoes. Whatever had put him into stasis either left him half naked, or he was simply walking around that way…which honestly was normal. But why was he standing in stasis in the middle of a hallway?
It was a free day for teasing, er, visiting friends, and Jaunty had decided that he would try seeing Racy this time. After a leisurely stroll through the halls of the other bot's manor, pocketing small odds and ends wherever he found them, he came across Racy standing rather still in the middle of the hall.
He stood, watching the other bot very patiently for a reaction, but soon realized he wouldn't get one. Leaning forward, he lightly pushed Racy with a finger, seeing how the bot swayed at the contact. Could it be? In stasis and there for his taking? A huge grin sprouted on his face and he dropped to his knees in front of Racy, his quick fingers undoing the taller bot's belt.
[on again, off again. maybe i can stay for longer this time?]
"Jaunty!" Shojo kneeled down next to him, setting the first aid kit beside her. She scooped up Jaunty's head and set it in her lap, petting his head gently. "Did you think Walle was your Spine?" she asked him, glancing up at Coy to show that she was asking him too. "Or is this just the shock of you being human? Either way, it's gonna be okay, Jaunty. This must be a magic anon which means it won't last forever. Shh, don't cry."
Jaunty was oddly complacent, limp in Shojo’s arms and staring off aimlessly. Were it not for his raspy breathing, he could have easily been mistook for being dead. He sobbed once, dryly, when Shojo’s words hit him, and he muttered sadly in response. “I miss… I… I miss him…"
Coy noticed Shojo’s look at him and he gave her a meaningful nod before looking up to Walle. He didn’t see how Jaunty could mistake the two at all, but… His train of thought was lost when a sudden choked shriek from Jaunty caught his attention. Jaunty’s eyes were focused on Walle and he was expressing some emotion between anger and disappointment. In a moment, Coy realized the issue and rushed over to Walle, ushering the bot out of the room as quickly as he could. “No offense. To you. My brother is merely… Out of sorts."
A Summer at Jaunty's
Shojo nodded to Robert and sat down next to Jaunty, feeling a little light headed. She admired the age of the pages and binding. She noticed the book mark and decided to flip to the marked page.
"Oh, um, Mr. Fiss? May I have some water please?" she asked politely. Walle let Robert look at the cube, staying close to it and loving the glow it was giving off. Shinyyyyyyy.
Jaunty looked up from his pile of treasures to see if Shojo was okay, tilting his head a bit to get a better look at her. She wasn't particularly sick looking, and definitely not fainting, so she must be okay. Shrugging, he returned to sifting through books. He found one that intrigued him and he immediately set to flipping through it, a tiny grin on his face as his eyes scanned the pages.
Robert lightly tapped at the blue metal box with the bowl of his pipe, receiving a hollow ringing in response. He humphed and hawed to himself about it before he realized Shojo had been speaking to him. "Hm? Water? Oh. Yes. Yes, of course." He took another long look at the box before heading to the kitchen. When his back was turned, the blue glow from the box dimmed.
The page of the book Shojo had turned to read simply:
"Four days without Peter.
The new substance is highly toxic. Unknown half-life. DO NOT INGEST.
Prometheus to Brook Glen. Mathias is becoming suspicious."
Shojo nodded to Coy and took a deep breath. This was getting silly. Walle was definitely not having a good time and seemed to get more and more frazzled as Jaunty kissed him. Shojo took Jaunty by the shoulders and pulled him off, getting between him and Walle. "Jaunty, stop. You're making Walle uncomfortable," she said sternly. Then she blinked. "You do know who he is, do you? He's not The Spine. He's Walle."
Jaunty didn’t take too kindly to being grabbed and he snarled at Shojo until he heard her speak. Wait… Walle…? His eyes went from Shojo, back to Walle, and he furrowed his brow as he thought. Slowly, recognition kicked in. Then, sadness. His knees buckled beneath him and he sunk to the floor, rolling from his knees to his side, laying on the floor limply. “Oh…" was all he could say, tears starting to well up at the corner of his eyes.
By this time, Coy returned with an old first aid kit and carefully handed it off to Shojo, wiping his hands of dust. He then looked down at Jaunty, raising an eyebrow. He was only gone a minute and now look what happened. Sighing, he gave Shojo a tired look. “He’s been like this. All day. I can’t fix him. Can you?"
ºY-Y-YES PLEASE,º Walle shouted, eyes still wide and shocked. His fingers twitched anxiously and he kept his mouth firmly shut. Now Shojo really looked hurt. Not that this was new, Jaunty made it clear that he didn't like her but it still hurt. She sighed and went up to him to look at his scratches. "Coy, could you find a first aid kit please? They're just scratches I think," she said, trying to pry him off of Walle.
Jaunty now appeared hurt, upset by Walle’s complaining. He turned back to face the bot, giving them an innocent look. “D-did I do something wrong? I-I’m… I’m sorry…" He then gave them another series of kisses, some particularly longer than others, while holding them close to himself. Between kisses, he managed to speak. “You don’t want to leave me again, do you? N-no no… you’d never… You know I’d miss you." He seemed completely oblivious to Shojo again.
At Shojo’s insistence, Coy straightened his posture, ready to do as told. “Yes, of course." He nodded and cautiously stepped out of the room. He peered back inside at Jaunty and quietly spoke to Shojo: “Be careful." He then disappeared around the corner.
A Summer at Jaunty's
Walle got up and out first, placing the blue box on the table and going back to help Robert keep Jaunty from dropping things. Shojo picked up the book that fell, still uneasy about her arm. She picked up the pace as she saw the light of the living room and ran out, standing in the middle of the room and just breathing.
"I’m gonna need a minute before I go back down there," she panted, her heart speeding up from her nerves. She looked down to see what book she picked up.
Jaunty stepped up out of the basement and set down his findings on the couch in the living room. Once he was sure things wouldn't be falling again, he set to sorting through them and oohing and ahhing over the books, flipping through them and looking for pictures.
Robert waited for Shojo at the top of the stairs, being sure she made it up alright before leaning in and shutting the basement door. "It's perfectly understandable that you would need a rest. Take all the time you need." He smiled warmly at her before noticing the blue metal Walle had brought up and walking over to examine it.
The book in Shojo's hands was leatherbound, and quite old, but kept in surprisingly good condition. A quick glance at its blank cover would lead one to believe that it was a journal of some sort, and by flipping through the pages, this could be confirmed. Quite a few pages were dog-earred, some on top and some on bottom. Lastly, there was a red, fraying elastic strap that doubled as a weight to keep it shut as well as a bookmark, and it was snapped over a page close to the end of the book.
She was always eager to play music with someone. It was something about the harmonies that made it much more pleasurable than playing alone. Noodle took Coy's hand and with his help she rose from the chair to follow him.
Coy let go of Noodle’s hand once she stood, not wanting to seem improper, and led her through the manor to the music room she had been in before. “Here it is. …Wonderful, don’t you think?" He hummed quietly to himself as stepped over guitar and violin strings strewn on the floor, kicking aside some boxes to get to the guitars propped up against the wall. There were three: a sleek, black one; a wooden acoustic; and a beat up blue one that was missing a string. “Take your pick."
Walle seemed frozen in time. His left eyelid twitched and steam hissed non-stop from his vents. Shojo shifted as well, frowning at Jaunty, clearly jealous. "Hey Jaunty. Don't I get a hug and kiss too?" she asked, stepping towards him and holding her arms out. "Are you hurt? Do you need me to clean those up for you?"
Jaunty tightened his grip on Walle when he heard Shojo’s question, but dialed it back again when he calmed himself. “Why should I kiss you, miss Shojo?" Jaunty pouted out his lip, blinking once in an almost bored fashion. “And n-no, I’m not… hurt. I’m fine." He rubbed at the scratches on his neck, trying to cover them from her.
Coy finally gave up ignoring the scene and spoke up, albeit quietly. “Brother. Perhaps you should. Let go of…" Seeing Jaunty give him a vicious look, Coy trailed off and averted his gaze, shuddering a bit.
[quick sketch of human jaunty]
A grin brightened Noodle's little face at his offer. "It would be my pleasure, Coy" She said happily. "You should see, I can do this thing where I have a jack for the guitar cord and I can become the amp!" She beamed.
Coy gave Noodle a smile of child-like glee when she agreed to play with him, and he stood, offering his hand to her. “Come with me, then. I’ll find you. A guitar." That amp thing sounded incredible, and he just HAD to see it.
Shojo's jaw dropped and she stood there, blinking and an odd mixture of amused, concerned, and a little hurt from how easily he brushed her aside. Walle was completely beside himself. His round eyes widened as wide as they could go. His arms were held out at his sides, not touching Jaunty at all. But the expression on his face said it all: WHAT THE PETER WALTER IS GOING ON?! ((btw walle is about as tall as shojo. check out more on miss-shojo :) ))
Coy fidgeted uncomfortably in place, continuing to give Shojo meaningful looks, but refusing to do anything. He wasn’t about to get in the middle of this. Not yet, anyway. His brother wasn’t exactly in the right mindset for him to be messing with.
Jaunty, however, was acting like some sort of romantic, clinging to Walle, and fiddling with their clothes and continuing to give them little kisses. He suddenly remembered that he was not alone in this room and he swung around to smile at Shojo and Coy. “Ever so sorry… Hello again." He waved absently at Shojo with one hand while the other clung tightly to the front of Walle’s vest. “What brings you here?"
