[moss-acid-slimeling]

*despite attempts to keep the little green slimeling from being involved, Moss was now scowering the vents. He did not care about the dangers, and thought the fact his tia was missing to be a fairly reasonable override of their past forbiddance of him entering them and the dangers within again*

*what he does not know, is there's a little cassette tape floating the hall as it is kicked about in the business of it all.. oh well*

~~

" much better, huh? "

~~

Theyd done a separate sketch adding a bit of flair and some frilly trim to the bottom and cuffs of the jacket and pants, as well as a ruffled shirt in place of the previously suggested Cravat. Though the shirt still had a constellation pattern on it.

*he looks around and nods* - .... .- -. -.- / -.-- --- ..- --..-- / -.-. .. .--. .... . .-.

*he seemed to be looking for something, carefully moving to climb on the ceiling, hanging upside down to continue the conversation. Ed seemed more comfortable up there*

--- .-.. -.. / .-.. .- -... / .-- .... . .-. . ..--.. / -.. --- -.-. .----. ... / -. --- - / -... .- -.-. -.-

*Brillo trilled happily and gave a little shake like a wet cat, unfortunately spraying a bit of water around*

*Moss gave a little whistling noise at the designs. Very fancy, he though*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" -. --- - / ... ..- .-. . .-.-.- / -. --- - / ... ..- .-. . / .-- .... --- / -.. --- -.-. / .. ... / . .. - .... . .-. .-.-.- "

They shrugged, looking up at him

" .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .. / ..-. . . .-.. / .-.. .. -.- . / .. / ... .... --- ..- .-.. -.. "

~~

They carefully set him and the bowl down on a counter with the other drinks

" ill make sure you have access to water wherever you end up "

~~

They glanced at him, smiling

" like it? Its for your Tio Ernesto '

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*Ed, for as little as his face changes, looks perplexed*

-.. --- -.-. / - .- .-.. -.- . -.. / .- -... --- ..- - / -.-. .. .--. .... . .-. / .- / .-.. --- - .-.-.- / -.-- --- ..- --..-- / .. / - .... .. -. -.- ..--..

*the little amphibian gave a little chirp, possibly a thank you, as he began circling the other drinks. He, hasn't done anything just yet, but is circling the containers in an exploratory manner*

*he nods, climbing up onto their shoulder, purring quietly*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-- .... .- - / -.. --- . ... / -.. --- -.-. / .-.. --- --- -.- / .-.. .. -.- . ..--.. "

~~

" these have already been claimed bud, if you want something else just float on back to Me "

~~

They stifled a chuckle, continuing their drawing

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*Ed thinks a moment before clicking in response*

.-. . .- .-.. .-.. -.-- / -... .. --. / ... -- .. .-.. . --..-- / -... .. --. / . -.-- . ... .-.-.- / ... .... --- .-. - .-.-.- / .-- . .- .-. ... / .-- .- .-. -- / -.-. .-.. --- - .... . ... .-.-.- / .... .- .. .-. / .. ... / -... .-.. .- -.-. -.- / .- -. -.. / .-- .... .. - . .-.-.-

*he looks back to them. He seems to understand that, probably. Well, he's at least stepped away from the drinks*

*he just sits there for now, balled up as he continued to pur quietly to the sound of pencil scratching softly across paper, his little eyes closing*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- - .- .-.. -.- ... / -.- .. -. -.. .- / ..-. ..- -. -. -.-- ..--.. "

~~

" alright, ill let the others know their drinks are here and find you some worms or something "

~~

They managed to keep still, the purring sound was soothing....even if it tingled the hell out of their neck

[moss-acid-slimeling]

.-.. .. -.- . / .- -. / --- .-.. -.. / -.-. .- .-. - --- --- -. / -- --- ...- .. . / ...- .. .-.. .-.. .- .. -.

*he glowed a little. He knows the word worms, it seems*

*he nuzzled against them a bit, eyes still closed. Did the little guy fall asleep?*

[dr-not-a-fish]

Theres a flicker of recognition.....and an overwhelming sense of dread.

" yeah... "

~~

they left and returned with a small container of blood worms

~~

Welp, looks like they're stuck there. They moved to a new page, and started to draw some more outfits, these ones more suited for a slimeling.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*Ed seems to study their expression*

-.-. .. .--. .... . .-. / --- -.- .- -.-- ..--..

*upon seeing them, he gave a chirp before smelling the food. Brillo floated up, spinning in circles before floating over to them, giving a happy trill*

*it certainly didn't seem like he was moving any time soon, aside from giving the occassional twitch here and there*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .. / -.. --- -. .----. - / - .... .. -. -.- / ... --- "

~~

" hold on, buddy " they carefully set the container down

~~

They focused on their drawing, occasionally glancing to make sure he's okay

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he seems to decide on something and points with his claw*

... .. - .-.-.- / -.-- --- ..- / -. . . -.. / ... --- ..- .--. .-.-.-

*the axolotl followed it over, now face deep in blood worms*

*he didn't seem to wake in that time, but the occassional whimper escaped him*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .. .----. -- / ..-. .. -. . .-.-.- / .. .----. .-.. .-.. / --. . - / -.-- --- ..- / ... --- ..- .--. "

They left the room and shut the door behind them

~~

" be careful, please "

~~

They reached a hand up, gently patting him

[moss-acid-slimeling]

..... *Ed chittered, going over to try opening the door*

*there was a chirp and Brillo's face emerged from the container, still munching happily on blood worms. It is both adorable, but probably a bit gross. He looks quite happy though*

*he seemed to calm a bit at the contact, leaning into the touch in his sleep*

[dr-not-a-fish]

They made sure to lock it....though an enrichment ball had mysteriously appeared inside of the room

~~

" must be some tasty worms, huh? "

~~

" ....hold on, bud "

They gently scooped him off of their shoulder, cradling them in one of their arms instead

[moss-acid-slimeling]

...... *great. Stuck in a near empty room with a ball. Great.. he kicks it. He's too big for the vents anyway, he thinks*

*he trilled loudly. Very tasty, to an axolotl at least. He nudges the container towards them gently, seemingly offering them some*

*the little slime nuzzle further into them, the whimpering quieting now*

[dr-not-a-fish]

The ball rolls around and a treat falls out, whatever hed like aside from soup.

~~

" no thanks, I'm trying to cut back " they joked

~~

They hummed softly, absentmindedly stroking the top of his head

[moss-acid-slimeling]

.......*maybe the ball wasn't so bad. He devours the crunchy meat treat before going to hit it again, rolling the ball around*

*he tilts his head before giving a little chirp. More for him, he guessed! Then promptly went face first in the container. Yum*

*Moss quieted down, relaxing bit by bit until he was semi softer blob*

[dr-not-a-fish]

Sometimes hitting it works, but he'd have to examine some puzzle parts on the ball to get even more treats

~~

They chuckled, shaking their head. Safe to say theyd quickly grown fond of the lil guy.

~~

" .....how very special, are we? For just a moment to be, part of lifes....eternal rhyme. How very special, are we? To have on our family tree.......mother earth, and father time "

They sang softly

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he does eventually realize this, batting it once more for the hell of it before trying to figure out the puzzles curiously*

*Brillo is not the most difficult creature to win over, but it is safe to say he has a particular soft spot for a certain attendant*

*the slimeling began melting a bit against them, purring in his sleep as the song went on, seemingly calmed by his tio's presence*

[dr-not-a-fish]

Some parts swivel, theres a few latches he can open

~~

They kept an eye on him periodically as they worked

~~

" he turns the seasons around....and so she changes her gown, but they always look in their prime. They go on dancing their dance, of everlasting romance.....mother earth, and father time "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he held the ball in his claws, using his mandables for the more delicate maneuverings of the latches and swivels, testing them out a bit*

*the axolotl did eventually finished up, rubbing and cleaning his face afterwards with his fuzzy front limbs*

*there was a sleepy humming under the quiet purring*

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he just sits there for now, balled up as he continued to pur quietly to the sound of pencil scratching softly across paper, his little eyes closing*

[dr-not-a-fish]

Theres a flicker of recognition.....and an overwhelming sense of dread.

" yeah... "

~~

they left and returned with a small container of blood worms

~~

Welp, looks like they're stuck there. They moved to a new page, and started to draw some more outfits, these ones more suited for a slimeling.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*Ed seems to study their expression*

-.-. .. .--. .... . .-. / --- -.- .- -.-- ..--..

*upon seeing them, he gave a chirp before smelling the food. Brillo floated up, spinning in circles before floating over to them, giving a happy trill*

*it certainly didn't seem like he was moving any time soon, aside from giving the occassional twitch here and there*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .. / -.. --- -. .----. - / - .... .. -. -.- / ... --- "

" hold on, buddy " they carefully set the container down

They focused on their drawing, occasionally glancing to make sure he's okay

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he seems to decide on something and points with his claw*

... .. - .-.-.- / -.-- --- ..- / -. . . -.. / ... --- ..- .--. .-.-.-

*the axolotl followed it over, now face deep in blood worms*

*he didn't seem to wake in that time, but the occassional whimper escaped him*

[dr-not-a-fish]

They left the room and shut the door behind them

~~

" be careful, please "

~~

They reached a hand up, gently patting him

[moss-acid-slimeling]

..... *Ed chittered, going over to try opening the door*

*there was a chirp and Brillo's face emerged from the container, still munching happily on blood worms. It is both adorable, but probably a bit gross. He looks quite happy though*

*he seemed to calm a bit at the contact, leaning into the touch in his sleep*

[dr-not-a-fish]

They made sure to lock it....though an enrichment ball had mysteriously appeared inside of the room

~~

" must be some tasty worms, huh? "

~~

" ....hold on, bud "

They gently scooped him off of their shoulder, cradling them in one of their arms instead

[moss-acid-slimeling]

...... *great. Stuck in a near empty room with a ball. Great.. he kicks it. He's too big for the vents anyway, he thinks*

*he trilled loudly. Very tasty, to an axolotl at least. He nudges the container towards them gently, seemingly offering them some*

*the little slime nuzzle further into them, the whimpering quieting now*

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*despite attempts to keep the little green slimeling from being involved, Moss was now scowering the vents. He did not care about the dangers, and thought the fact his tia was missing to be a fairly reasonable override of their past forbiddance of him entering them and the dangers within again*

*what he does not know, is there's a little cassette tape floating the hall as it is kicked about in the business of it all.. oh well*

~~

" much better, huh? "

~~

Theyd done a separate sketch adding a bit of flair and some frilly trim to the bottom and cuffs of the jacket and pants, as well as a ruffled shirt in place of the previously suggested Cravat. Though the shirt still had a constellation pattern on it.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he looks around and nods* - .... .- -. -.- / -.-- --- ..- --..-- / -.-. .. .--. .... . .-.

*Brillo trilled happily and gave a little shake like a wet cat, unfortunately spraying a bit of water around*

*Moss gave a little whistling noise at the designs. Very fancy, he though*

They carefully set him and the bowl down on a counter with the other drinks

*he looks back to them. He seems to understand that, probably. Well, he's at least stepped away from the drinks*

*he just sits there for now, balled up as he continued to pur quietly to the sound of pencil scratching softly across paper, his little eyes closing*

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*despite attempts to keep the little green slimeling from being involved, Moss was now scowering the vents. He did not care about the dangers, and thought the fact his tia was missing to be a fairly reasonable override of their past forbiddance of him entering them and the dangers within again*

*what he does not know, is there's a little cassette tape floating the hall as it is kicked about in the business of it all.. oh well*

~~

" much better, huh? "

~~

Theyd done a separate sketch adding a bit of flair and some frilly trim to the bottom and cuffs of the jacket and pants, as well as a ruffled shirt in place of the previously suggested Cravat. Though the shirt still had a constellation pattern on it.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he looks around and nods* - .... .- -. -.- / -.-- --- ..- --..-- / -.-. .. .--. .... . .-.

*he seemed to be looking for something, carefully moving to climb on the ceiling, hanging upside down to continue the conversation. Ed seemed more comfortable up there*

*Brillo trilled happily and gave a little shake like a wet cat, unfortunately spraying a bit of water around*

*Moss gave a little whistling noise at the designs. Very fancy, he though*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" -. --- - / ... ..- .-. . .-.-.- / -. --- - / ... ..- .-. . / .-- .... --- / -.. --- -.-. / .. ... / . .. - .... . .-. .-.-.- "

They shrugged, looking up at him

" .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.- .. / ..-. . . .-.. / .-.. .. -.- . / .. / ... .... --- ..- .-.. -.. "

~~

They carefully set him and the bowl down on a counter with the other drinks

" ill make sure you have access to water wherever you end up "

~~

They glanced at him, smiling

" like it? Its for your Tio Ernesto '

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*Ed, for as little as his face changes, looks perplexed*

*the little amphibian gave a little chirp, possibly a thank you, as he began circling the other drinks. He, hasn't done anything just yet, but is circling the containers in an exploratory manner*

*he nods, climbing up onto their shoulder, purring quietly*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" maybe a group effort? Some here, some in the lab, maybe Tio james and Cornelius can take some in? "

Cherry offered, theyd all be cared for and it wouldn't be too overwhelming

~~

" I......I need to go check something "

She shifted into bat mode and flew up into the vents.....she was going to look for their lab.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*that would potentially be the best bet. if everyone was on board, that is*

*he squeaks, having not let go of her hand and now hanging onto her little bat foot for dear life*

"Meenaa? Where are we flying??" '●●

[dr-not-a-fish]

Welp, time to find all the creatures!

" cher-bear, mind keep an eye on.....ms munchkin over here for now? "

She nodded, keeping an eye on the little goat.

~~

" Tias lab "

She shifted to wolf mode, scooping him onto her back.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*it may vary how many of the pets Sturgeon actually recalls existing, but by record, it seems three of the 12 are missing*

*something didn't feel right in Moss' heart.. He clung to her back* "...who's lab?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

Time to start the search then!

" yo! Abuelo! "

" yes, Raz? "

" need some help with retrieval? "

" ......probabaly "

They noted the fuzzy axolotl was still present with Quinn.

~~

" tia.... "

She stopped moving, looking over her shoulder at him

" .....have you seen them today, moss? "

She didnt forget....oh dear.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*the axolotl gave a big stretch, definately more well rested than earlier. Brillo looked up, noticing the familiar many armed one looking toward him and gave a happy croak*

*it seemed the ones missing were a hissing dog, a salamander, and... Hound.. that is the only description*

*Moss just looks confused, but also worried..the unnamed bad feeling was coming back*

"..tio? Your papa?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They smiled at the axolotl, giving a little wave as Raz took out a list...where did he even get that??

~~

" no. Tia, Tia Isa. Papas sibling, our Tia "

Her ears drooped.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*possibly from the inky arm reaching from the vent, giving Raz a little head pat*

*he held onto her..he felt like he was supposed to know who that was.. why did that name..*

"Tia Isa?" *Meena was sad. He couldn't remember and she was sad* "..they, gone?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

He gave the blob a thumbs up and the two were off!

" new friend, quinnie? "

" it would appear so. Theres been a.....hopefully temporary relocation, and this lil guy decided to hang out with me. We still have some worms in stock, yeah? "

" mhm. I can check what other stuff axolotls can eat as well "

" thank you, Juni "

~~

" yeah, and Tio Cipher can't remember them.....like when papa forgot after daddy disspeared "

She sat down in the vent, whimpering softly.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*as the two made their way out.. why was there a shiny blue lizard in the drinking fountain?*

*meanwhile, the axolotl on Quinn's shoulder looks up and seems to smile. Though, that could just be his expression in general* :3

*he pet her gently, spreading himself out to hug her*

"...i'm sorry. it'll be okay, meena.." *he chittered to her softly*

[dr-not-a-fish]

They raised a brow but gently deposited said lizard into a bucket, holding it securely

" one down ".

They looked at him, smiling in return, gently petting his head

" cute little thing, i'll give em that "

~~

" everyone's forgetting again....they may be gone for ever! "

She howled, the sound echoing through the vents.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*the lizard, which was actually a blue-spotted salamander, softly plopped in the bucket, looking slightly offended*

*Brillo closed his eyes leaning into the pets. He was awfully fuzzy*

*he was quiet a moment, the scene similar to earlier with his primo. Just without the tears and the alarms..*

"No, no. We'll....We can find them.. Quinny said so!" *that part he remembered*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" sorry there bud, don't want you to get hurt "

" aaaalright, got the newt. Next item on the list is ' The hound ' "

" lets hope he doesnt try to move around, eh? "

" sweetheart, shush "

~~

The howling died off, she sniffled

" ....they did? "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*there was a fast pace scurrying of a particularly blur running across the ceiling... was that a giant scorpion??*

*Brillo looked up at Quinn, then back to Juniper, a tiny twinkle in his void eyes* :3 *oh dear*

*he nods, chittering softly to her* "They told me, mama and Razz it'll all be okay and we'll get 'em back" *he said, holding her*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .....might need a net "

" on it "

He went to look for one

~~

They smiled, a tad nervously, before getting an idea

" ...maybe he'd be more comfortable with you "

Quinn smirked, juniper took a step back and quickly changed course

~~

She sniffled " .....okay. if you say so " she trusts him.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*a big one at that, based on what Sturgeon saw.. The thing was nearly as big as they were..okay, the blur's making another run back this way*

*a fast blury centaur.. if a centaur was scorpion-ish instead of half horse*

*Brillo gave a little croak, reaching out a little for the assistant* :3

*he nodded before nuzzling her cheek gently. Mx. Quinn doesn't lie, he thinks* "Do you want to go back to the daycare, Meena? Or do you wanna go find your papa?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

Plan b, they weaved a net using their silk and hoped for the best, throwing it over the .....Scorpitaur?

~~

They sighed and gently scooped him up from their shoulder

" uh....hi? "

~~

" ....papa, please "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*Hound, unfortuntely for him but fortunately for Sturgeon, was not equipped to deal with the sticky and strong material, getting wrapped up and falling to the floor..He looked quite distressed, thrashing about in the net*

*Brillo perched on their hand, giving a slow blink at them before carefully crawling up their arm*

*Moss gave a bobb-ish nod, crawling down before figuring out how to carry the wolf pup on his back*

"To big bat" *he began moving*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" sorry bud, just a precaution "

They carefully approached

" ....are you hungry? Want some....soup, or something? I don't know what you eat "

They sighed

~~

" is uh...is that a good sign, or? "

Their fingers twitched a little as he made his way up, adjusting the bandana around their neck...just in case.

~~

She shifted to bat mode to make things easier for him

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he stopped his struggling to look at them, suspicious but hopeful. But it seemed soup was the magic word*

*Brillo eventually made it up their shoulder, very gently nuzzling their cheek. Very affectionate little guy*

*and the two were off, baby bat secure as they headed towards the fashion lab, the blob purring reassuringly to his cousin along the way*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" okay, soup. I've got pumpkin, vegetable, potato, chicken, chicken noodle, chicken rice, tomato, ham and beans....lotta soup "

~~

They relaxed a small tad, gently petting his head

"....hi there "

~~

She started to doze off a bit from the purring

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*his spiked tail wagged a bit..well, as much as it could in the net, at least. Completely dark eyes stared at you like you like you just promised it the world. Heaven forbid he ever got loose in a grocery store*

*the fuzzy axolotl gave a little chirp, leaning into the pets happily, vibrating slightly*

*he continued with the purring as she did, eventually getting to the lab, peering through the grate to see if his tio was there yet*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" alrighty then. Let's get you to a safe space, and ill get you some soup "

They managed to scoop up the net with him inside...somehow

~~

They chuckled, " cute little thing "

~~

They were making something for lunch for Meena, planning on picking her up soon

[moss-acid-slimeling]

.... *Hound chittered, looking up at them. He was quite heavy, so this was undoubtly surprising to him*

*Brillo gave another chirp, nuzzling their hand before looking up at them*

*Moss opened they grate, carefully sliding down as he cradled the little bat in his arms*

"Tio"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They chuckled

" don't tell anyone, but ive been doing a lotta heavy lifting lately "

~~

" guess you can come with me for a drink run ti the cafeteria "

~~

James glanced over, smiling as they saw the two

" hey there, moss "

Their smile faltered for a moment as they noticed she wasnt moving

" fell asleep? "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he just looked at them, jaw clicking. Not necessarily to be threatening, just in thought it seems. Hound's eyes glanced at Sturgeon's arms, seemingly assessing their muscle content... Lanky many armed bean pole is unusually strong, his eyes say*

*the axolotl settled in for the ride, quickly becoming one with the scarf as he wrapped himself gently around their neck. Thankfully, Juniper was protected*

*he nods, crawling down to them* "She was really sad..I told her it would be okay and she fell asleep while I got us back here"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They smiled at him, their mandibles showing alongside very sharp teeth. Unusually strong bean pole with secrets it seemed

~~

Thankfully. They pulled out a small list, grabbing what each attendant had requested, glacing at one of the menus

" huh, didnt know they had Boba now "

They decided to try a taro one

" want anything, lil guy? "

~~

They sighed, setting their spoon down

" thank you, hun "

They carefully scooped her up.

" would you like somethin? "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he blinked, carefully exposing and waving his at them as possibly a sign of good will*

*he just looks up at them and gave a croaky sounding trill. It was a bit drier sounding than typical. While technically not an amphibian, Brillo could probably do with some water*

*he shook his face side to side* "no.. but can I stay here for now?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They returned the gesture, bringing him to the aforementioned safe space, an empty lab at the moment.

" you can't write by any chance, eh? "

~~

" some water for the lil guy, coming right up "

They got a small bowl of it, making sure it wasnt too hot or cold.

~~

" of course you can, bud "

He brought her into her room but kept the door open just in case

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he just looks at them, then to his large claws.. definately not made to be particularly deft or dexterous.. then back to Sturgeon, clicking his jaw rhythmically*

-. --- - / .-. . .- .-.. .-.. -.--

*he gave a chirp, carefully unfurling to float down toward the bowl before plopping his little face in the water*

*Moss watched quietly before following to wish his prima sweet dreams*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. . .-.-.- / -. . .- - .-.-.- / .--. .-. . ..-. . .-. .-. . -.. / -. .- -- . ..--.. "

~~

They smiled, keeping the bowl steady as they walked back with the drinks in their other hand.

~~

She was back to her usual form, holding a dragon stuffed animal as she slept.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he looked at them a long moment, judging, before clicking back*

-.-. .- .-.. .-.. . -.. / .... --- ..- -. -.. .-.-.- / .-.. .. -.- . / . -.. .-.-.-

*he seemed quite comfortable, his little frills floating and waving happily as his feet touched down on the edge of the bowl. Does he need to come up for air at somepoint?*

*he gently brushes her hair back, settling down next to her for a moment before slipping back onto the ground. He hoped she was having a good dream*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .. - ... / -. .. -.-. . / - --- / -- . . - / -.-- --- ..- --..-- / . -.. .-.-.- "

They closed the door and freed him from the net*

" -- -.-- / -. .- -- . / .. ... / -.-. .. .--. .... . .-. .-.-.- "

~~

Considering Axolotls are typically aquatic animals, they werent worried.

~~

James set the food aside for now till she wakes up, currently sat on the couch to finish up their rough draft

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he stretched, kicking a bit of net that stuck to his legs and claws*

-. .. -.-. . / - --- / -- . . - / -.-- --- ..- --..-- / -.-. .. .--. .... . .-.

*he looked around at the empty lab* ... --- ..- .--. / .--. .-. --- -- .. ... . -..

*Brillo stayed there a long mom- oh, now he's looking up at you, eyes big and little face is dripping. All the water in the bowl is gone, but he seems quite chipper*

*he followed them over, quietly looking over their shoulder at said rough draft*

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*despite attempts to keep the little green slimeling from being involved, Moss was now scowering the vents. He did not care about the dangers, and thought the fact his tia was missing to be a fairly reasonable override of their past forbiddance of him entering them and the dangers within again*

*he gave a chirp, carefully unfurling to float down toward the bowl before plopping his little face in the water*

*Moss watched quietly before following to wish his prima sweet dreams*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" -- --- .-. ... . / -.-. --- -.. . .-.-.- / -. . .- - .-.-.- / .--. .-. . ..-. . .-. .-. . -.. / -. .- -- . ..--.. "

~~

They smiled, keeping the bowl steady as they walked back with the drinks in their other hand.

~~

She was back to her usual form, holding a dragon stuffed animal as she slept.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he looked at them a long moment, judging, before clicking back*

-.-. .- .-.. .-.. . -.. / .... --- ..- -. -.. .-.-.- / .-.. .. -.- . / . -.. .-.-.-

*he seemed quite comfortable, his little frills floating and waving happily as his feet touched down on the edge of the bowl. Does he need to come up for air at somepoint?*

*he gently brushes her hair back, settling down next to her for a moment before slipping back onto the ground. He hoped she was having a good dream*

[pnglove]

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*despite attempts to keep the little green slimeling from being involved, Moss was now scowering the vents. He did not care about the dangers, and thought the fact his tia was missing to be a fairly reasonable override of their past forbiddance of him entering them and the dangers within again*

*what he does not know, is there's a little cassette tape floating the hall as it is kicked about in the business of it all.. oh well*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" maybe a group effort? Some here, some in the lab, maybe Tio james and Cornelius can take some in? "

Cherry offered, theyd all be cared for and it wouldn't be too overwhelming

~~

" I......I need to go check something "

She shifted into bat mode and flew up into the vents.....she was going to look for their lab.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*that would potentially be the best bet. if everyone was on board, that is*

*he squeaks, having not let go of her hand and now hanging onto her little bat foot for dear life*

"Meenaa? Where are we flying??" '●●

[dr-not-a-fish]

Welp, time to find all the creatures!

" cher-bear, mind keep an eye on.....ms munchkin over here for now? "

She nodded, keeping an eye on the little goat.

~~

" Tias lab "

She shifted to wolf mode, scooping him onto her back.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*it may vary how many of the pets Sturgeon actually recalls existing, but by record, it seems three of the 12 are missing*

*something didn't feel right in Moss' heart.. He clung to her back* "...who's lab?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

Time to start the search then!

" yo! Abuelo! "

" yes, Raz? "

" need some help with retrieval? "

" ......probabaly "

They noted the fuzzy axolotl was still present with Quinn.

~~

" tia.... "

She stopped moving, looking over her shoulder at him

" .....have you seen them today, moss? "

She didnt forget....oh dear.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*the axolotl gave a big stretch, definately more well rested than earlier. Brillo looked up, noticing the familiar many armed one looking toward him and gave a happy croak*

*it seemed the ones missing were a hissing dog, a salamander, and... Hound.. that is the only description*

*Moss just looks confused, but also worried..the unnamed bad feeling was coming back*

"..tio? Your papa?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They smiled at the axolotl, giving a little wave as Raz took out a list...where did he even get that??

~~

" no. Tia, Tia Isa. Papas sibling, our Tia "

Her ears drooped.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*possibly from the inky arm reaching from the vent, giving Raz a little head pat*

*he held onto her..he felt like he was supposed to know who that was.. why did that name..*

"Tia Isa?" *Meena was sad. He couldn't remember and she was sad* "..they, gone?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

He gave the blob a thumbs up and the two were off!

" new friend, quinnie? "

" it would appear so. Theres been a.....hopefully temporary relocation, and this lil guy decided to hang out with me. We still have some worms in stock, yeah? "

" mhm. I can check what other stuff axolotls can eat as well "

" thank you, Juni "

~~

" yeah, and Tio Cipher can't remember them.....like when papa forgot after daddy disspeared "

She sat down in the vent, whimpering softly.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*as the two made their way out.. why was there a shiny blue lizard in the drinking fountain?*

*meanwhile, the axolotl on Quinn's shoulder looks up and seems to smile. Though, that could just be his expression in general* :3

*he pet her gently, spreading himself out to hug her*

"...i'm sorry. it'll be okay, meena.." *he chittered to her softly*

[dr-not-a-fish]

They raised a brow but gently deposited said lizard into a bucket, holding it securely

" one down ".

They looked at him, smiling in return, gently petting his head

" cute little thing, i'll give em that "

~~

" everyone's forgetting again....they may be gone for ever! "

She howled, the sound echoing through the vents.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*the lizard, which was actually a blue-spotted salamander, softly plopped in the bucket, looking slightly offended*

*Brillo closed his eyes leaning into the pets. He was awfully fuzzy*

*he was quiet a moment, the scene similar to earlier with his primo. Just without the tears and the alarms..*

"No, no. We'll....We can find them.. Quinny said so!" *that part he remembered*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" sorry there bud, don't want you to get hurt "

" aaaalright, got the newt. Next item on the list is ' The hound ' "

" lets hope he doesnt try to move around, eh? "

" sweetheart, shush "

~~

The howling died off, she sniffled

" ....they did? "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*there was a fast pace scurrying of a particularly blur running across the ceiling... was that a giant scorpion??*

*Brillo looked up at Quinn, then back to Juniper, a tiny twinkle in his void eyes* :3 *oh dear*

*he nods, chittering softly to her* "They told me, mama and Razz it'll all be okay and we'll get 'em back" *he said, holding her*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" .....might need a net "

" on it "

He went to look for one

~~

They smiled, a tad nervously, before getting an idea

" ...maybe he'd be more comfortable with you "

Quinn smirked, juniper took a step back and quickly changed course

~~

She sniffled " .....okay. if you say so " she trusts him.

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*a big one at that, based on what Sturgeon saw.. The thing was nearly as big as they were..okay, the blur's making another run back this way*

*a fast blury centaur.. if a centaur was scorpion-ish instead of half horse*

*Brillo gave a little croak, reaching out a little for the assistant* :3

*he nodded before nuzzling her cheek gently. Mx. Quinn doesn't lie, he thinks* "Do you want to go back to the daycare, Meena? Or do you wanna go find your papa?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

Plan b, they weaved a net using their silk and hoped for the best, throwing it over the .....Scorpitaur?

~~

They sighed and gently scooped him up from their shoulder

" uh....hi? "

~~

" ....papa, please "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*Hound, unfortuntely for him but fortunately for Sturgeon, was not equipped to deal with the sticky and strong material, getting wrapped up and falling to the floor..He looked quite distressed, thrashing about in the net*

*Brillo perched on their hand, giving a slow blink at them before carefully crawling up their arm*

*Moss gave a bobb-ish nod, crawling down before figuring out how to carry the wolf pup on his back*

"To big bat" *he began moving*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" sorry bud, just a precaution "

They carefully approached

" ....are you hungry? Want some....soup, or something? I don't know what you eat "

They sighed

~~

" is uh...is that a good sign, or? "

Their fingers twitched a little as he made his way up, adjusting the bandana around their neck...just in case.

~~

She shifted to bat mode to make things easier for him

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he stopped his struggling to look at them, suspicious but hopeful. But it seemed soup was the magic word*

*Brillo eventually made it up their shoulder, very gently nuzzling their cheek. Very affectionate little guy*

*and the two were off, baby bat secure as they headed towards the fashion lab, the blob purring reassuringly to his cousin along the way*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" okay, soup. I've got pumpkin, vegetable, potato, chicken, chicken noodle, chicken rice, tomato, ham and beans....lotta soup "

~~

They relaxed a small tad, gently petting his head

"....hi there "

~~

She started to doze off a bit from the purring

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*his spiked tail wagged a bit..well, as much as it could in the net, at least. Completely dark eyes stared at you like you like you just promised it the world. Heaven forbid he ever got loose in a grocery store*

*the fuzzy axolotl gave a little chirp, leaning into the pets happily, vibrating slightly*

*he continued with the purring as she did, eventually getting to the lab, peering through the grate to see if his tio was there yet*

[dr-not-a-fish]

" alrighty then. Let's get you to a safe space, and ill get you some soup "

They managed to scoop up the net with him inside...somehow

~~

They chuckled, " cute little thing "

~~

They were making something for lunch for Meena, planning on picking her up soon

[moss-acid-slimeling]

.... *Hound chittered, looking up at them. He was quite heavy, so this was undoubtly surprising to him*

*Brillo gave another chirp, nuzzling their hand before looking up at them*

*Moss opened they grate, carefully sliding down as he cradled the little bat in his arms*

"Tio"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They chuckled

" don't tell anyone, but ive been doing a lotta heavy lifting lately "

~~

" guess you can come with me for a drink run ti the cafeteria "

~~

James glanced over, smiling as they saw the two

" hey there, moss "

Their smile faltered for a moment as they noticed she wasnt moving

" fell asleep? "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he just looked at them, jaw clicking. Not necessarily to be threatening, just in thought it seems. Hound's eyes glanced at Sturgeon's arms, seemingly assessing their muscle content... Lanky many armed bean pole is unusually strong, his eyes say*

*the axolotl settled in for the ride, quickly becoming one with the scarf as he wrapped himself gently around their neck. Thankfully, Juniper was protected*

*he nods, crawling down to them* "She was really sad..I told her it would be okay and she fell asleep while I got us back here"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They smiled at him, their mandibles showing alongside very sharp teeth. Unusually strong bean pole with secrets it seemed

~~

Thankfully. They pulled out a small list, grabbing what each attendant had requested, glacing at one of the menus

" huh, didnt know they had Boba now "

They decided to try a taro one

" want anything, lil guy? "

~~

They sighed, setting their spoon down

" thank you, hun "

They carefully scooped her up.

" would you like somethin? "

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he blinked, carefully exposing and waving his at them as possibly a sign of good will*

*he just looks up at them and gave a croaky sounding trill. It was a bit drier sounding than typical. While technically not an amphibian, Brillo could probably do with some water*

*he shook his face side to side* "no.. but can I stay here for now?"

[dr-not-a-fish]

They returned the gesture, bringing him to the aforementioned safe space, an empty lab at the moment.

" you can't write by any chance, eh? "

~~

" some water for the lil guy, coming right up "

They got a small bowl of it, making sure it wasnt too hot or cold.

~~

" of course you can, bud "

He brought her into her room but kept the door open just in case

[moss-acid-slimeling]

*he just looks at them, then to his large claws.. definately not made to be particularly deft or dexterous.. then back to Sturgeon, clicking his jaw rhythmically*
