Intro post!!

My carrd (nf) - https://blehhhtutorial.carrd.co

Hiya! Mod speaking here! This is the only real account I have for Albie atm, no personal/creator blog for him, so mod speaks in blue! You can call me June or just mod/creator!

Small Albie intro blurb ⬇️

"You can call me Albie, Luitenant, or McKinner. My callsign is "Chaser", because I spent an hour tracking down an 'enemy' that was actually my captain at the time. And I can sprint quite far for long periods of time. I have a fiancé who is very loving, her name is Lainey and she sends me letters monthly when I'm on base. Anyway, that's all."

[colonel-valentino]

Third times the charm?

Little bit of drunk Albie being all sulky and emotional.

Rough mission, to say the least. Albie had gotten his hands on a few bottles of vodka, his favourite! So... Now he was wobbling down the hallways, giggling as he tries to find Valentino's room through his blurry vision. Due to not tying his laces Albie gets to Valentino's door and thwacks his head on the wood, giggling and calling out. "Vaaaaal!"

- @luitenantalbiemckinner

Valentino jerks awake in bed, sitting up with bleary eyes, Price mostly hanging onto him with a tight grip, still asleep.

He then carefully gets out of Price's grip and walks over to the door, opening it and looking down at the drunk Albie.

He speaks up, his voice mostly quiet and raspy.

"..Can I help ya, McKinner..?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie giggles and tries to sit up, holding his hips. "Vaaaaal, I got into the liquor cabinet... And I'm kinda nauseous."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino gets an unamused expression on his face and sighs as he rubs the bridge of his nose before he says.

"Díos mio... Did you have to this late at night?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie weakly stands, stumbling with a wide grin. "Yeah!" He beams and hugs Valentino, nudging against his neck. "I'm gonna puke.." He quickly pulls back and covers his mouth, looking for a bin or anything.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino quickly runs into the bathroom, grabbing the bin from it and giving to Albie, looking away, when the lad throws up, so he wouldn't get sick himself.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie pukes into the bin and holds onto the wall, groaning when he finishes, stumbling inside. "Mmm... Feel like shit, why did... I drink.." He sighs and leans against Valentino again, legs barely holding him upright.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he holds Albie up. "Dunno. Ya decided to and now yer dealin' with the consequences."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Nnnnn..." He just groans again, eyes closing while he does so. "Got.. Water?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and says as he heads into his room, getting a glass of water from the bathroom before handing it to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie grumbles as his hands shake, trying to drink from it. "Mh-" He grunts as the water drips onto his uniform, sadly looking up at Valentino.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino sighs lightly out of pity and fondness and he carefully takes Albie's hand and helps the lad drink his water.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mm.." He grunts and pushes it back when he finishes, rubbing his lips. "Thanks-" Albie sniffles and stares, then pokes his tongue out a little.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods as he says. "Anythin' else ya need."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"My wife..." He just whines with a frown on his face, eyes watering.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pats Albie's shoulder. "Then we can go to her."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"She's all the way in Birmimgham, Val.." He sniffles as his eyes keep watering, eventually dropping tears and starting to cry.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pulls Albie into a hug. "Wanna call her then?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie nods and fishes for his phone, handing it to Valentino. "You call.."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and searches a bit through Albie's contacts before finding Lainey and he presses on her number, calling her.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie leans on Valentino while crying, ear listening close to the speaker and immediately sobbing out when he hears her voice. "Laineyyyy!"

"Albie? Albie, are you alright?" Lainey asks and sounds concerned. "Lovely, what happened? Are you crying?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino then speaks up as he holds the phone between him and Albie.

"Yer husband's gotten into the liquor cabinet and is drunk emotional."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"I'm not druuuunkkk.." He protests and leans heavily on the man, sniffling. "Lainey, come to baseeee! I miss you, bubs!"

"..Guh." Lainey just sighs and shuffles. "Are you sure you ain't drunk, sweetheart? Because I'm sure you never talk like that. Maybe double check." She half jokes and a chair creaks, then small babbles. "Hi, Kona. She's crawling now, Albie. Missin' it." She sighs and picks her up, letting out loud giggles that sound a lot like Albie's cheeky laughter. "Sounds just like you some times. Oh, and? Chewing on all your home hoodies." She smiles wide and lets Valentino talk.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles a bit and says as he adjusts his hold on Albie.

"Good to hear the niña is growing alright. Can definitely hear 'er father through the laugh." He muses.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Oh, tell me about it." She smiles and talks to Kona. "Hey- Konnie? Say 'Hi Uncle Val'." And it takes a small bit of coaxing, then Kona beams out happily. "Uncie Va'!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a warm chuckle and says.

"Hi, Kóna."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Val!!" Kona just squirms and Lainey is heard telling her off for almost hanging up, giggling. "No- No, Kona, sit still. Y' gonna say hi to Papi?" She coaxes Kona again, then she almost yells out. "Mm- Papi!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles and says as he looks at Albie.

"Looks like someone really misses ya."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Konaaaaaa!" He sniffles out and frowns, actually crying. "I want my baby, Val! And my wife! Tell them to come visit.." He pouts and looks to the man, tears rolling down his cheeks.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a hearty laugh before he says as he looks back at the phone.

"Sounds like ya have to come visit tomorrow, he's gettin' fussy."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mh, he's always fussy. Thought you'd know that by now." Lainey giggles and picks Kona up, sitting back on the lounge with a sigh. "Give him the phone for a second, Val?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and moves the phone over to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie shuffles and takes it. "Hi." He just says to Lainey.

"Albie, love-" Lainey pauses to briefly talk to Kona, something about a toy and her mouth. "No- Yucky.. Sorry! Uhm- Come home." Lainey just waits and goes quiet. "Like- Soon. On leave. Because you have a child." She pauses and seems to take a deep breath. "Totally.. Just one. Is what I would say if you weren't drunk." She sighs again, probably rubbing her face. "Check your mail, lovely. Should come in soon, little black box?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino gets a surprised expression, his 'grandad/uncle' instincts kicking in and he whispers to the phone, careful for Albie not to hear.

"Am I gettin' another grandkid?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

(Pspsps... Sorren reblog... Just a little nudge)

Albie's too drunk to realise, staring at Valentino. "Huuuuh? Am I pregnant..?" He looks down and taps his stomach, confused out of his mind. "Lainey, what- What did you do?! We used protection, Lainey!! I can't be pregnant!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino stares at Albie with a blank expression before he bursts into laughter, slapping his knee.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie whines and talks to Lainey, who's also laughing and crying. "Haaahh- God-" She giggles and smiles as she talks. "No, Albie. I am, remember?" She reveals, and Albie makes a small grumble. "Oh. Am I dreaming? Val, pinch me."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino wheezes with laughter, punching Albie in the shoulder instead before he exclaims with his fists pumped in the air.

"Hell yes, another grandkid to spoil!"

They shouldn't mind him too much, he's a really big family man and the type to really spoil kids, even if they're not exactly from his bloodline of siblings or something like that.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie stares at the phone and asks Lainey. "How far along are you, love?" He suddenly sounds really sober, rubbing his face. "And do you know the gen-"

"Only six- And it's a little boy!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles in the background, probably already making plans on buying stuff for the baby, just like he did for Kona.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie looks shocked and smiles at Valentino, then points a finger. "Don't get any ideas!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino grins cheekily and he says as he crosses his arms. "I won't."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie just grumbles and talks to Lainey, a little tipsy and slurring his words but talking well. "Mm.. We're gonna have a little boy!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino listened silently on the side, a smile on his face.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

After a while, Albie says goodbye and all that, hanging up and absolutely beaming at Valentino, eyes watering again. "I'm gonna be a dad! Double!!"

[colonel-valentino]

[commander-mint]

The mission ended better than expected, so the allocated crew decided to go out and celebrate. Albie was at the booth, giggling and smiling wide while he drinks the vodka cranberry in his glass, listening to some other guy blabber about a random story no one is really listening to. He giggles low and nudges Mint, patting his head. "You're so.. Sober. Have a drink, buddy!" Albie teases him and slides his own glass over.

- @luitenantalbiemckinner

Mint leaned back and shook his head.

"I am too damn lightweight, buddy. Sorry."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Not even a sip?" Albie asks and wiggles it, moving it back at his face. "Mfh.. Be a grump-ass then." He huffs and sips his glass again, rolling his eyes with a sigh. "Oi, Ross- Shut up." He grunts and flips him off, sounding pissed.

They shouldn't mind him too much, he's a really big family man and the type to really spoil kids, even if they're not exactly from his bloodline of siblings or something like that.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie stares at the phone and asks Lainey. "How far along are you, love?" He suddenly sounds really sober, rubbing his face. "And do you know the gen-"

"Only six- And it's a little boy!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles in the background, probably already making plans on buying stuff for the baby, just like he did for Kona.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie looks shocked and smiles at Valentino, then points a finger. "Don't get any ideas!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino grins cheekily and he says as he crosses his arms. "I won't."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie just grumbles and talks to Lainey, a little tipsy and slurring his words but talking well. "Mm.. We're gonna have a little boy!"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Lowkey thinking of going overboard and making ANOTHER OC but this one is like.. Silent.

Woahhhh

Maybe they're vocals got ripped out while hostage?

Also I need another girl OC but I like the boys, I dunno why

"Because boys are bett-"

SHUT UP ALBIE NO ONE ASKED YOU!!

Anyway!

Meanwhile Albie:

@sgt-artemis-owl-riley ^ Star Wars reference

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

GUYS HEAR ME OUT!!!

Android OC, with a protogen inspired mask!!!

Ehhhh? What do we think

Wait let me clarify ⬇️⬇️ *Pretend it's blue

Like their emotions on the screen with little emojis or faces?

Happy: :)

Sad: :/

Angry >:|

Silly :P

Really mad would be the screen glitching out with static or a keyboard-smash(?) Of emojis, like a fast paced screen of switching faces

Fearful would be like. :□

And all is tilted 90⁰ to the right so others can see while communicating. Also a lot of body language? I'm gonna do some stuff for scheming on pinterest, maybe a collage.

[colonel-valentino]

Third times the charm?

Little bit of drunk Albie being all sulky and emotional.

Rough mission, to say the least. Albie had gotten his hands on a few bottles of vodka, his favourite! So... Now he was wobbling down the hallways, giggling as he tries to find Valentino's room through his blurry vision. Due to not tying his laces Albie gets to Valentino's door and thwacks his head on the wood, giggling and calling out. "Vaaaaal!"

- @luitenantalbiemckinner

Valentino jerks awake in bed, sitting up with bleary eyes, Price mostly hanging onto him with a tight grip, still asleep.

He then carefully gets out of Price's grip and walks over to the door, opening it and looking down at the drunk Albie.

He speaks up, his voice mostly quiet and raspy.

"..Can I help ya, McKinner..?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie giggles and tries to sit up, holding his hips. "Vaaaaal, I got into the liquor cabinet... And I'm kinda nauseous."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino gets an unamused expression on his face and sighs as he rubs the bridge of his nose before he says.

"Díos mio... Did you have to this late at night?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie weakly stands, stumbling with a wide grin. "Yeah!" He beams and hugs Valentino, nudging against his neck. "I'm gonna puke.." He quickly pulls back and covers his mouth, looking for a bin or anything.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino quickly runs into the bathroom, grabbing the bin from it and giving to Albie, looking away, when the lad throws up, so he wouldn't get sick himself.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie pukes into the bin and holds onto the wall, groaning when he finishes, stumbling inside. "Mmm... Feel like shit, why did... I drink.." He sighs and leans against Valentino again, legs barely holding him upright.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he holds Albie up. "Dunno. Ya decided to and now yer dealin' with the consequences."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Nnnnn..." He just groans again, eyes closing while he does so. "Got.. Water?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and says as he heads into his room, getting a glass of water from the bathroom before handing it to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie grumbles as his hands shake, trying to drink from it. "Mh-" He grunts as the water drips onto his uniform, sadly looking up at Valentino.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino sighs lightly out of pity and fondness and he carefully takes Albie's hand and helps the lad drink his water.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mm.." He grunts and pushes it back when he finishes, rubbing his lips. "Thanks-" Albie sniffles and stares, then pokes his tongue out a little.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods as he says. "Anythin' else ya need."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"My wife..." He just whines with a frown on his face, eyes watering.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pats Albie's shoulder. "Then we can go to her."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"She's all the way in Birmimgham, Val.." He sniffles as his eyes keep watering, eventually dropping tears and starting to cry.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pulls Albie into a hug. "Wanna call her then?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie nods and fishes for his phone, handing it to Valentino. "You call.."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and searches a bit through Albie's contacts before finding Lainey and he presses on her number, calling her.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie leans on Valentino while crying, ear listening close to the speaker and immediately sobbing out when he hears her voice. "Laineyyyy!"

"Albie? Albie, are you alright?" Lainey asks and sounds concerned. "Lovely, what happened? Are you crying?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino then speaks up as he holds the phone between him and Albie.

"Yer husband's gotten into the liquor cabinet and is drunk emotional."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"I'm not druuuunkkk.." He protests and leans heavily on the man, sniffling. "Lainey, come to baseeee! I miss you, bubs!"

"..Guh." Lainey just sighs and shuffles. "Are you sure you ain't drunk, sweetheart? Because I'm sure you never talk like that. Maybe double check." She half jokes and a chair creaks, then small babbles. "Hi, Kona. She's crawling now, Albie. Missin' it." She sighs and picks her up, letting out loud giggles that sound a lot like Albie's cheeky laughter. "Sounds just like you some times. Oh, and? Chewing on all your home hoodies." She smiles wide and lets Valentino talk.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles a bit and says as he adjusts his hold on Albie.

"Good to hear the niña is growing alright. Can definitely hear 'er father through the laugh." He muses.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Oh, tell me about it." She smiles and talks to Kona. "Hey- Konnie? Say 'Hi Uncle Val'." And it takes a small bit of coaxing, then Kona beams out happily. "Uncie Va'!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a warm chuckle and says.

"Hi, Kóna."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Val!!" Kona just squirms and Lainey is heard telling her off for almost hanging up, giggling. "No- No, Kona, sit still. Y' gonna say hi to Papi?" She coaxes Kona again, then she almost yells out. "Mm- Papi!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles and says as he looks at Albie.

"Looks like someone really misses ya."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Konaaaaaa!" He sniffles out and frowns, actually crying. "I want my baby, Val! And my wife! Tell them to come visit.." He pouts and looks to the man, tears rolling down his cheeks.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a hearty laugh before he says as he looks back at the phone.

"Sounds like ya have to come visit tomorrow, he's gettin' fussy."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mh, he's always fussy. Thought you'd know that by now." Lainey giggles and picks Kona up, sitting back on the lounge with a sigh. "Give him the phone for a second, Val?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and moves the phone over to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie shuffles and takes it. "Hi." He just says to Lainey.

"Albie, love-" Lainey pauses to briefly talk to Kona, something about a toy and her mouth. "No- Yucky.. Sorry! Uhm- Come home." Lainey just waits and goes quiet. "Like- Soon. On leave. Because you have a child." She pauses and seems to take a deep breath. "Totally.. Just one. Is what I would say if you weren't drunk." She sighs again, probably rubbing her face. "Check your mail, lovely. Should come in soon, little black box?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino gets a surprised expression, his 'grandad/uncle' instincts kicking in and he whispers to the phone, careful for Albie not to hear.

"Am I gettin' another grandkid?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

(Pspsps... Sorren reblog... Just a little nudge)

Albie's too drunk to realise, staring at Valentino. "Huuuuh? Am I pregnant..?" He looks down and taps his stomach, confused out of his mind. "Lainey, what- What did you do?! We used protection, Lainey!! I can't be pregnant!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino stares at Albie with a blank expression before he bursts into laughter, slapping his knee.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie whines and talks to Lainey, who's also laughing and crying. "Haaahh- God-" She giggles and smiles as she talks. "No, Albie. I am, remember?" She reveals, and Albie makes a small grumble. "Oh. Am I dreaming? Val, pinch me."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino wheezes with laughter, punching Albie in the shoulder instead before he exclaims with his fists pumped in the air.

"Hell yes, another grandkid to spoil!"

They shouldn't mind him too much, he's a really big family man and the type to really spoil kids, even if they're not exactly from his bloodline of siblings or something like that.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles in the background, probably already making plans on buying stuff for the baby, just like he did for Kona.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie looks shocked and smiles at Valentino, then points a finger. "Don't get any ideas!"

[colonel-valentino]

Little bit of Hybrid AU

Shedding season. The worst season, maybe worst than heat. Fur, scales, and feathers everywhere; In the showers, all over clothes, in the hair, everywhere. Albie was in the common room, sat on the couch while brushing his tail hair, frowning as the hair just keeps pulling out onto the brush and to the floor. "Damnit!" He puts the brush down and holds his head, groaning loudly. "My stupid- Kill me!"

- @luitenantalbiemckinner

Valentino meanwhile, was sitting on the opposite couch, using some oil to carefully take off and dashed the loose scales on his tail and wings.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie grumbles and gets up, pushing the brush into his hand. "Could you- Help me? I've been brushing and brushing my fur all day, everyday. Please?" He uses his little puppy eyes, making a small whine as his ears go down, looking submissive to the higher and larger man.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino glances at the brush before glancing at Albie before he nods as he pats the spot next to him.

"Sure. Sit down."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie sits next to Valentino, wing wrapped around him and enticing to look. "Pretty scales." He smiles and shuffles so Valentino could brush his tail, wincing at the hard pull, and he loudly yelps like a dog would. Albie looks at Valentino and growls, baring his teeth with no real bite behind it, just a warning and instinct. "Gentle.." He huffs and looks back at the dragon's wings, softly pulling a few scales out and shining them in the light.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino raises his claw a bit in surrender before he goes back to gently brushing Albie's tail.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie helps Valentino in his own way, gently sliding out the loose scales for him, making sure to keep it light so it doesn't hurt.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino continues gently brushing Albie's tail, becoming slightly amused at the pile of fur beside his legs at this point and he says. "Christ, you furry hybrids really do lose a lot of fur."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Yup.. Shedding season sucks." He sighs and keeps pulling out the loose scales on his wings, tapping the talon on the end with his fingers.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino hums in agreement as his wing twitches at the tap before relaxing again.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Have you hurt people with the talon before?" He asks Valentino, turning his head to face him while letting off a sweet, peachy-like scent. "Be careful at the base, too. It's sensitive."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he glances towards the talon on his wing. "Have stabbed a few enemies with it before, when they tried to attack from above."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Hm.." He nods and shows his canines. "I uss mine all the time."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino hums a bit as he continues brushing Albie's tail.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie holds Val's hand for a second, moving it back and breathing slow, before sneezing loudly and letting him continue. "Sorry." Albie chuckles and looks serious, shakes his head really fast like a wolf would to dry off.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino huffs out of amusement and says dryly as he goes back to brushing Albie's tail.

"Had to make it all dramatic for a sneeze, huh?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"It felt good." He rubs his nose, blowing hair off his nose and sneezing again. "Ghh.." Albie grunts and recalibrates, body twitching and ears spinning around as he rubs his nose. All of this because of a sneeze. Gee he was dramatic.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino shakes his head fondly as he continues brushing Albie's tail, a pile of fur now basically up to his knees.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Phh-" He sneezes and makes Valentino stop, standing and just shaking his whole body around. Stupid wolf hybrid, he is. Albie sits back down quietly, wiggling the fur away. "Makin' me sneeze."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino scoffs and says as he lightly shoved Albie's shoulder.

"Ya allergic to yer own fur?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Maybe. And I'm serious. I'm always sneezy in shedding season." He grumbles and rubs his sniffly nose, eyes watering. "Mfh... I also get hay-fever symptoms, so, I dunno..."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino raises his eyebrow and says.

"Have ya considered getting some medicine against allergies?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"..'M fine." He just wipes his nose again, sniffing and gesturing to his tail, sounding kinda nasally now that Valentino listens close. "Just keep brushing it.."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and starts brushing Albie's tail again.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

After a while, Albie is sniffling and looking away, nose all stuffy and eyes red. "Val..." He croaks out and faces him, looking horrible. "Feel like shit."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino's eyebrows raise in surprise before he sighs and says as he stands up.

"I'll go get some claratine from my room, since it usually works to calm down the nervous system, Leon takes it, when he gets all stuffy."

He leaves the common room, heading towards his barracks.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie shuffles behind, dragging himself up and sniffing loudly. "Ghhhh..." He complains and closes his eyes, trusting his body to take him there with instinct.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino continues walking, his tail swishing behind him, a few scales falling onto the floor every now and then.

Once they get to the room, he goes into the bathroom attached to it, taking a small pill and a glass of water and handing it to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie seems quite out of it, slowly taking the glass and sipping it slowly with the pill. "Mmm.. Dizzy." He grumbles with a hand on the wall, eyes darting around as he faints to the floor, ears pinned back and tail curled, glass shattered on the floor.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino quickly picks him up, a concerned expression on his face and he says as he sighs.

"Christ.. should get ya to yer room to rest."

Valentino then starts walking to Albie's room.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie wakes in his bed, curled up and trembling while Val is looking for a hoodie. "Mm.." He slowly tries to get up on instinct, ears pinned and growling at Valentino before he could connect the dots. "Hrrr- Get out-!" Albie croaks and lashes his claws at Valentino, territorial about his bedroom.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino's ears perk up a bit as he looks towards Albie and he says as he places a hoodie on Albie's lap before backing up with his claws raised in surrender.

"Alright, relax."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie growls low and stares at Val, before slowly closing his mouth and wagging his tail. "Oh- Hi." He tries to get up and grunts, holding his head as he drops back onto the bed, still sounding nasally. "Gee... Did I faint?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and says as he slowly lowers his claws.

"Yep, ya did."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Oh.'" He just huffs and stares at his boots, kicking them off and curling into bed. "Mmmmm..."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and starts brushing Albie's tail again.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

After a while, Albie is sniffling and looking away, nose all stuffy and eyes red. "Val..." He croaks out and faces him, looking horrible. "Feel like shit."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino's eyebrows raise in surprise before he sighs and says as he stands up.

"I'll go get some claratine from my room, since it usually works to calm down the nervous system, Leon takes it, when he gets all stuffy."

He leaves the common room, heading towards his barracks.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie shuffles behind, dragging himself up and sniffing loudly. "Ghhhh..." He complains and closes his eyes, trusting his body to take him there with instinct.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino continues walking, his tail swishing behind him, a few scales falling onto the floor every now and then.

Once they get to the room, he goes into the bathroom attached to it, taking a small pill and a glass of water and handing it to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie seems quite out of it, slowly taking the glass and sipping it slowly with the pill. "Mmm.. Dizzy." He grumbles with a hand on the wall, eyes darting around as he faints to the floor, ears pinned back and tail curled, glass shattered on the floor.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino quickly picks him up, a concerned expression on his face and he says as he sighs.

"Christ.. should get ya to yer room to rest."

Valentino then starts walking to Albie's room.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie wakes in his bed, curled up and trembling while Val is looking for a hoodie. "Mm.." He slowly tries to get up on instinct, ears pinned and growling at Valentino before he could connect the dots. "Hrrr- Get out-!" Albie croaks and lashes his claws at Valentino, territorial about his bedroom.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino's ears perk up a bit as he looks towards Albie and he says as he places a hoodie on Albie's lap before backing up with his claws raised in surrender.

"Alright, relax."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie growls low and stares at Val, before slowly closing his mouth and wagging his tail. "Oh- Hi." He tries to get up and grunts, holding his head as he drops back onto the bed, still sounding nasally. "Gee... Did I faint?"

[colonel-valentino]

Third times the charm?

Little bit of drunk Albie being all sulky and emotional.

Rough mission, to say the least. Albie had gotten his hands on a few bottles of vodka, his favourite! So... Now he was wobbling down the hallways, giggling as he tries to find Valentino's room through his blurry vision. Due to not tying his laces Albie gets to Valentino's door and thwacks his head on the wood, giggling and calling out. "Vaaaaal!"

- @luitenantalbiemckinner

Valentino jerks awake in bed, sitting up with bleary eyes, Price mostly hanging onto him with a tight grip, still asleep.

He then carefully gets out of Price's grip and walks over to the door, opening it and looking down at the drunk Albie.

He speaks up, his voice mostly quiet and raspy.

"..Can I help ya, McKinner..?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie giggles and tries to sit up, holding his hips. "Vaaaaal, I got into the liquor cabinet... And I'm kinda nauseous."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino gets an unamused expression on his face and sighs as he rubs the bridge of his nose before he says.

"Díos mio... Did you have to this late at night?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie weakly stands, stumbling with a wide grin. "Yeah!" He beams and hugs Valentino, nudging against his neck. "I'm gonna puke.." He quickly pulls back and covers his mouth, looking for a bin or anything.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino quickly runs into the bathroom, grabbing the bin from it and giving to Albie, looking away, when the lad throws up, so he wouldn't get sick himself.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie pukes into the bin and holds onto the wall, groaning when he finishes, stumbling inside. "Mmm... Feel like shit, why did... I drink.." He sighs and leans against Valentino again, legs barely holding him upright.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he holds Albie up. "Dunno. Ya decided to and now yer dealin' with the consequences."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Nnnnn..." He just groans again, eyes closing while he does so. "Got.. Water?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and says as he heads into his room, getting a glass of water from the bathroom before handing it to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie grumbles as his hands shake, trying to drink from it. "Mh-" He grunts as the water drips onto his uniform, sadly looking up at Valentino.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino sighs lightly out of pity and fondness and he carefully takes Albie's hand and helps the lad drink his water.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mm.." He grunts and pushes it back when he finishes, rubbing his lips. "Thanks-" Albie sniffles and stares, then pokes his tongue out a little.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods as he says. "Anythin' else ya need."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"My wife..." He just whines with a frown on his face, eyes watering.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pats Albie's shoulder. "Then we can go to her."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"She's all the way in Birmimgham, Val.." He sniffles as his eyes keep watering, eventually dropping tears and starting to cry.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pulls Albie into a hug. "Wanna call her then?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie nods and fishes for his phone, handing it to Valentino. "You call.."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and searches a bit through Albie's contacts before finding Lainey and he presses on her number, calling her.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie leans on Valentino while crying, ear listening close to the speaker and immediately sobbing out when he hears her voice. "Laineyyyy!"

"Albie? Albie, are you alright?" Lainey asks and sounds concerned. "Lovely, what happened? Are you crying?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino then speaks up as he holds the phone between him and Albie.

"Yer husband's gotten into the liquor cabinet and is drunk emotional."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"I'm not druuuunkkk.." He protests and leans heavily on the man, sniffling. "Lainey, come to baseeee! I miss you, bubs!"

"..Guh." Lainey just sighs and shuffles. "Are you sure you ain't drunk, sweetheart? Because I'm sure you never talk like that. Maybe double check." She half jokes and a chair creaks, then small babbles. "Hi, Kona. She's crawling now, Albie. Missin' it." She sighs and picks her up, letting out loud giggles that sound a lot like Albie's cheeky laughter. "Sounds just like you some times. Oh, and? Chewing on all your home hoodies." She smiles wide and lets Valentino talk.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles a bit and says as he adjusts his hold on Albie.

"Good to hear the niña is growing alright. Can definitely hear 'er father through the laugh." He muses.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Oh, tell me about it." She smiles and talks to Kona. "Hey- Konnie? Say 'Hi Uncle Val'." And it takes a small bit of coaxing, then Kona beams out happily. "Uncie Va'!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a warm chuckle and says.

"Hi, Kóna."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Val!!" Kona just squirms and Lainey is heard telling her off for almost hanging up, giggling. "No- No, Kona, sit still. Y' gonna say hi to Papi?" She coaxes Kona again, then she almost yells out. "Mm- Papi!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles and says as he looks at Albie.

"Looks like someone really misses ya."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Konaaaaaa!" He sniffles out and frowns, actually crying. "I want my baby, Val! And my wife! Tell them to come visit.." He pouts and looks to the man, tears rolling down his cheeks.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a hearty laugh before he says as he looks back at the phone.

"Sounds like ya have to come visit tomorrow, he's gettin' fussy."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mh, he's always fussy. Thought you'd know that by now." Lainey giggles and picks Kona up, sitting back on the lounge with a sigh. "Give him the phone for a second, Val?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and moves the phone over to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie shuffles and takes it. "Hi." He just says to Lainey.

"Albie, love-" Lainey pauses to briefly talk to Kona, something about a toy and her mouth. "No- Yucky.. Sorry! Uhm- Come home." Lainey just waits and goes quiet. "Like- Soon. On leave. Because you have a child." She pauses and seems to take a deep breath. "Totally.. Just one. Is what I would say if you weren't drunk." She sighs again, probably rubbing her face. "Check your mail, lovely. Should come in soon, little black box?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino gets a surprised expression, his 'grandad/uncle' instincts kicking in and he whispers to the phone, careful for Albie not to hear.

"Am I gettin' another grandkid?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

(Pspsps... Sorren reblog... Just a little nudge)

Albie's too drunk to realise, staring at Valentino. "Huuuuh? Am I pregnant..?" He looks down and taps his stomach, confused out of his mind. "Lainey, what- What did you do?! We used protection, Lainey!! I can't be pregnant!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino stares at Albie with a blank expression before he bursts into laughter, slapping his knee.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie whines and talks to Lainey, who's also laughing and crying. "Haaahh- God-" She giggles and smiles as she talks. "No, Albie. I am, remember?" She reveals, and Albie makes a small grumble. "Oh. Am I dreaming? Val, pinch me."

[colonel-valentino]

Little bit of Hybrid AU

Shedding season. The worst season, maybe worst than heat. Fur, scales, and feathers everywhere; In the showers, all over clothes, in the hair, everywhere. Albie was in the common room, sat on the couch while brushing his tail hair, frowning as the hair just keeps pulling out onto the brush and to the floor. "Damnit!" He puts the brush down and holds his head, groaning loudly. "My stupid- Kill me!"

- @luitenantalbiemckinner

Valentino meanwhile, was sitting on the opposite couch, using some oil to carefully take off and dashed the loose scales on his tail and wings.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie grumbles and gets up, pushing the brush into his hand. "Could you- Help me? I've been brushing and brushing my fur all day, everyday. Please?" He uses his little puppy eyes, making a small whine as his ears go down, looking submissive to the higher and larger man.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino glances at the brush before glancing at Albie before he nods as he pats the spot next to him.

"Sure. Sit down."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie sits next to Valentino, wing wrapped around him and enticing to look. "Pretty scales." He smiles and shuffles so Valentino could brush his tail, wincing at the hard pull, and he loudly yelps like a dog would. Albie looks at Valentino and growls, baring his teeth with no real bite behind it, just a warning and instinct. "Gentle.." He huffs and looks back at the dragon's wings, softly pulling a few scales out and shining them in the light.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino raises his claw a bit in surrender before he goes back to gently brushing Albie's tail.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie helps Valentino in his own way, gently sliding out the loose scales for him, making sure to keep it light so it doesn't hurt.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino continues gently brushing Albie's tail, becoming slightly amused at the pile of fur beside his legs at this point and he says. "Christ, you furry hybrids really do lose a lot of fur."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Yup.. Shedding season sucks." He sighs and keeps pulling out the loose scales on his wings, tapping the talon on the end with his fingers.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino hums in agreement as his wing twitches at the tap before relaxing again.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Have you hurt people with the talon before?" He asks Valentino, turning his head to face him while letting off a sweet, peachy-like scent. "Be careful at the base, too. It's sensitive."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he glances towards the talon on his wing. "Have stabbed a few enemies with it before, when they tried to attack from above."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Hm.." He nods and shows his canines. "I uss mine all the time."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino hums a bit as he continues brushing Albie's tail.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie holds Val's hand for a second, moving it back and breathing slow, before sneezing loudly and letting him continue. "Sorry." Albie chuckles and looks serious, shakes his head really fast like a wolf would to dry off.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino huffs out of amusement and says dryly as he goes back to brushing Albie's tail.

"Had to make it all dramatic for a sneeze, huh?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"It felt good." He rubs his nose, blowing hair off his nose and sneezing again. "Ghh.." Albie grunts and recalibrates, body twitching and ears spinning around as he rubs his nose. All of this because of a sneeze. Gee he was dramatic.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino shakes his head fondly as he continues brushing Albie's tail, a pile of fur now basically up to his knees.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Phh-" He sneezes and makes Valentino stop, standing and just shaking his whole body around. Stupid wolf hybrid, he is. Albie sits back down quietly, wiggling the fur away. "Makin' me sneeze."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino scoffs and says as he lightly shoved Albie's shoulder.

"Ya allergic to yer own fur?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Maybe. And I'm serious. I'm always sneezy in shedding season." He grumbles and rubs his sniffly nose, eyes watering. "Mfh... I also get hay-fever symptoms, so, I dunno..."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino raises his eyebrow and says.

"Have ya considered getting some medicine against allergies?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"..'M fine." He just wipes his nose again, sniffing and gesturing to his tail, sounding kinda nasally now that Valentino listens close. "Just keep brushing it.."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and starts brushing Albie's tail again.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

After a while, Albie is sniffling and looking away, nose all stuffy and eyes red. "Val..." He croaks out and faces him, looking horrible. "Feel like shit."

Rough mission, to say the least. Albie had gotten his hands on a few bottles of vodka, his favourite! So... Now he was wobbling down the hallways, giggling as he tries to find Valentino's room through his blurry vision. Due to not tying his laces Albie gets to Valentino's door and thwacks his head on the wood, giggling and calling out. "Vaaaaal!"

- @luitenantalbiemckinner

Valentino jerks awake in bed, sitting up with bleary eyes, Price mostly hanging onto him with a tight grip, still asleep.

He then carefully gets out of Price's grip and walks over to the door, opening it and looking down at the drunk Albie.

He speaks up, his voice mostly quiet and raspy.

"..Can I help ya, McKinner..?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie giggles and tries to sit up, holding his hips. "Vaaaaal, I got into the liquor cabinet... And I'm kinda nauseous."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino gets an unamused expression on his face and sighs as he rubs the bridge of his nose before he says.

"Díos mio... Did you have to this late at night?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie weakly stands, stumbling with a wide grin. "Yeah!" He beams and hugs Valentino, nudging against his neck. "I'm gonna puke.." He quickly pulls back and covers his mouth, looking for a bin or anything.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino quickly runs into the bathroom, grabbing the bin from it and giving to Albie, looking away, when the lad throws up, so he wouldn't get sick himself.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie pukes into the bin and holds onto the wall, groaning when he finishes, stumbling inside. "Mmm... Feel like shit, why did... I drink.." He sighs and leans against Valentino again, legs barely holding him upright.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he holds Albie up. "Dunno. Ya decided to and now yer dealin' with the consequences."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Nnnnn..." He just groans again, eyes closing while he does so. "Got.. Water?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and says as he heads into his room, getting a glass of water from the bathroom before handing it to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie grumbles as his hands shake, trying to drink from it. "Mh-" He grunts as the water drips onto his uniform, sadly looking up at Valentino.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino sighs lightly out of pity and fondness and he carefully takes Albie's hand and helps the lad drink his water.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mm.." He grunts and pushes it back when he finishes, rubbing his lips. "Thanks-" Albie sniffles and stares, then pokes his tongue out a little.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods as he says. "Anythin' else ya need."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"My wife..." He just whines with a frown on his face, eyes watering.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pats Albie's shoulder. "Then we can go to her."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"She's all the way in Birmimgham, Val.." He sniffles as his eyes keep watering, eventually dropping tears and starting to cry.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino says as he pulls Albie into a hug. "Wanna call her then?"

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie nods and fishes for his phone, handing it to Valentino. "You call.."

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and searches a bit through Albie's contacts before finding Lainey and he presses on her number, calling her.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie leans on Valentino while crying, ear listening close to the speaker and immediately sobbing out when he hears her voice. "Laineyyyy!"

"Albie? Albie, are you alright?" Lainey asks and sounds concerned. "Lovely, what happened? Are you crying?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino then speaks up as he holds the phone between him and Albie.

"Yer husband's gotten into the liquor cabinet and is drunk emotional."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"I'm not druuuunkkk.." He protests and leans heavily on the man, sniffling. "Lainey, come to baseeee! I miss you, bubs!"

"..Guh." Lainey just sighs and shuffles. "Are you sure you ain't drunk, sweetheart? Because I'm sure you never talk like that. Maybe double check." She half jokes and a chair creaks, then small babbles. "Hi, Kona. She's crawling now, Albie. Missin' it." She sighs and picks her up, letting out loud giggles that sound a lot like Albie's cheeky laughter. "Sounds just like you some times. Oh, and? Chewing on all your home hoodies." She smiles wide and lets Valentino talk.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles a bit and says as he adjusts his hold on Albie.

"Good to hear the niña is growing alright. Can definitely hear 'er father through the laugh." He muses.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Oh, tell me about it." She smiles and talks to Kona. "Hey- Konnie? Say 'Hi Uncle Val'." And it takes a small bit of coaxing, then Kona beams out happily. "Uncie Va'!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a warm chuckle and says.

"Hi, Kóna."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Val!!" Kona just squirms and Lainey is heard telling her off for almost hanging up, giggling. "No- No, Kona, sit still. Y' gonna say hi to Papi?" She coaxes Kona again, then she almost yells out. "Mm- Papi!!"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino smiles and says as he looks at Albie.

"Looks like someone really misses ya."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Konaaaaaa!" He sniffles out and frowns, actually crying. "I want my baby, Val! And my wife! Tell them to come visit.." He pouts and looks to the man, tears rolling down his cheeks.

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino lets out a hearty laugh before he says as he looks back at the phone.

"Sounds like ya have to come visit tomorrow, he's gettin' fussy."

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

"Mh, he's always fussy. Thought you'd know that by now." Lainey giggles and picks Kona up, sitting back on the lounge with a sigh. "Give him the phone for a second, Val?"

[colonel-valentino]

Valentino nods and moves the phone over to Albie.

[luitenantalbiemckinner]

Albie shuffles and takes it. "Hi." He just says to Lainey.

"Albie, love-" Lainey pauses to briefly talk to Kona, something about a toy and her mouth. "No- Yucky.. Sorry! Uhm- Come home." Lainey just waits and goes quiet. "Like- Soon. On leave. Because you have a child." She pauses and seems to take a deep breath. "Totally.. Just one. Is what I would say if you weren't drunk." She sighs again, probably rubbing her face. "Check your mail, lovely. Should come in soon, little black box?"
