A buzz rings out from Ren's phone, followed by another. Seems Luna's calling this time. Ah, but it seems a text came beforehand, reading simply 'Can you answer my call with Galacta in the room?'. Once Ren did answer the phone, two voices rang out. "Happy Birthday, Galacta!!!!" Both Luna and Gremlin shouted through the phone. "Sorry, I'd be there myself, but I couldn't find ya this time around." Gremlin said. "But if you have the chance to stop by, I got you a gift!" Luna replied.

Galactas deep green blush was starting to peek from under his mask, this was getting to be too much.

“Th-Thanks you guys!”

“I’m sure we’ll be seeing you again soon, no worries Luna.”

Ren held the phone out for Galacta again, the well wishes getting a grin out of her too.

“Thank you so much Luna! Nightmare!”

His wings tented around him, the orb grinning horn to horn under his mask. Only his second birthday here, and already it was shaping up to be the best.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

"Happy birthday, Galacta!" A certain owl was here, giving a hug to her mint-colored friend.

When it comes to spontaneously appearing owls that call you by name, most would exhibit shock or fear. But no, Galacta was surprised in the best way, giving a hug back.

“Thank you Kibo! Say, have you gotten more huggable?”

Another hug, the orb giving a pleased hum.

An excellent gift.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Morning time.

At least, that’s what the inside of the ship felt like. Outside was always starry, like night. Galacta has gotten used to the sight, though the stars never ceased to hold his wonder. Cracking his eye open a little further, he turned from the window. Shifting his wings, he props himself up, releasing a yawn that squeaks at its end.

It seemed a little, too peaceful.

Standing up from the mattress on the floor, he gives a look around.

The room was untouched, except for a brightly wrapped box beside his door. It’s cheery green wrapping called to him, the yellow bow greeting him.

“Uh...”

He took a step closer, his own safety less of a priority compared to the threat it could pose to the rest of the ship. Gently, he prodded the box, prompting a teeny sound from it. A teeny, and absolutely harmless sound. Tucking his wings behind himself once more, Galacta pulls the box closer, lifting the lid-

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY GALACTA!”

A mini waddle dee popped out, a tiny amount of confetti being thrown from his nubs in celebration. Sailor gave a giant grin, matching Galactas. He almost couldn’t keep his one eye open.

“Sailor-“

“Happy Birthday big guy.”

Galactas door had opened, revealing a certain floating egg, her party hat perfectly aiskew, and a black puff with a cupcake in hand. Strawberry, his favorite.

“Happy Birthday Galacta...”

Motho was far more subdued, but the well wishing still meant something. Galacta stood, lifting Sailor as he did. In the next second he had extended a wing out the door, pulling both outside into a hug.

They had remembered. They cared enough to. Galacta held the entire group close, happy he had someone to celebrate with. If he kept holding them they were going to get soaked from his tears too.

His Common wasn’t anywhere near good, but he knew well enough what he needed to say.

“Thanks guys!”

A round of hugs back, and some words he couldn’t quite catch. It didn’t matter, though.

His day was already made.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

It'd be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed, but he could deal with it. Ren was right, he was huge compared to the inner space of the ship. Gremlin considered getting smaller, but unless Goop really wanted him inside, he'd wait on that. "To the left, got it." Goop's comment got a smile out of him again. "That's right! And you're gonna look great in em!" Before going over to the doors, he added to Ren "Course! She'll b happy to hear he liked them, I'm positive."

“Who’s unhappy to hear from Goop?”

The ship itself seemed to groan a bit, the walls creaking ever so slightly at her words. Ren herself made her way to the hall, then down another set of stairs into the hold. It was spacious, but again, spacious to the tiny egg. The door came up at her hand contacting the pad beside the door. Just standing there and watching the cosmos outside really made one feel small, and if the ships shield wasn’t up, she definitely was in threat of disappearing into it. Thankfully it was, and she didn’t.

“Say hi for me too, I haven’t seen her in a while.”

Accepting the gifts, she gave Gremlins hand a fist bump. A tiny one.

“Thank!”

Goop piped up, stretching to wrap around Gremlins finger, giving his own hug of sorts. Just getting to see him had made his day, what better than a surprise visit?

Best Birthday Ever.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

That was the reaction he'd been hoping for. Gremlin was exceedingly happy he'd managed to get the teeny shades for him. "I knew you'd like em!" He dug into his cape a moment until he pulled out a small container. "These are from Luna, They're cookies, heh." How was he going to give these to him exactly? "Glad he's been having a good day, that's all that matters ta me. Ya sure I can't come in? I don't know how ta give him these if I'm out here."

“You could come in but uh, there’s not a ton of room in here for you.”

The bridge looked big, but Ren was only six inches tall. Gremlin already almost blocked the entire window!

“I can come get them downstairs, the doors is on the left side.”

Goop hadn’t moved, still following the tiny shades as Gremlin moved.

“Style...”

“Let’s go get them downstairs, I’m sure Goops gonna really enjoy them. Say thanks to Luna for me will you?”

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Seeing as he couldn't hear anything being said inside, he didn't have anything to dampen his mood just yet. Somehow, though, Ren and Goop should be able to hear him now. Gremlin smiled when he saw Ren, waving to her. He smiled even more when Goop splatted himself to the window. "There he is!! The Goop of the hour!! How goes it, birthday boy?" He nodded to Ren. "Love the look, by the way."

“Thanks, I spent all of five minutes on it.”

She did, really. CS seemed to have finally patched Gremlin through, thankfully, and Goop was clearly appreciating it. At the demons voice he had somewhat collected himself, forming into a heart and his face finally appearing against the glass, smiling at Gremlin.

“Great! Goop Party GREAT!”

He was loving it, but he stops, finally noticing the item in Gremlins hands. Tiny shades, just like gremlins.

For him.

“Ah!”

He tries to get to them, but only succeeds in smushing against the glass further.

“He’s been having a great day, better that you made it.”

Ren gives a chuckle.

“Probably the best gift he’s gotten yet. I’d invite you in for cake but uh...”

But the bridge wasn’t that big, and Gremlin didn’t eat.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

How did he find them? How did he even get all the way out here so fast? Who knew, he certainly didn't. What he did know was that his son's birthday was today and he was going to celebrate it somehow! Gremlin had arrived against all odds with gifts for boy. "Heeeey! Happy Birthday, kiddo!!!!" He didn't know if he could hear him outside the ship, but he was gonna talk anyway. "Got you something!!!" He held out his hand toward the window and opened it. In it was a tiny replica of his shades.

“>did you hire a clown?”

“W-Wait what??”

Ren reflexively looked to her ceiling, where the voice came from.

“No I didn’t order a clown. Those things are freaky.”

“>there’s one outside the bridge window.”

Ren gave herself a second, setting the hat she was coloring down. She herself wore two, one on each ear.

“Goop, Sailor, stay here please.”

The boys nodded, Ren floating her way up to the bridge and finding, well. Exactly who Luna said would be here.

“Gremlin??”

In the hall, Sailors voice shouted, concern.

“Captain said we gotta STAY!”

A tiny orange blur screams across the floor, right past Ren, and splats right into the window.

“DAD!”

He hasn’t registered the baby shades, he’s happy to just see the guy.

Gremlins present is his presence.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

A text from Luna pops up. 'Hey, heard it was Goop's birthday! Tell him happy birthday from me!! I got him something, but he shouldn't have to wait long for it. Nightmare offered to deliver it to you guys along with his. So, be on the lookout for him!'

Ren took a look at her phone, then to the dead open space outside her bridge, and back to her phone. For a moment she wondered how exactly the demon was going to get here.

But it would get explained once he did arrive, surely.

“Hey Goop! Looks like you’re going to have a visitor too!”

The little creature poked out from below the keyboard, a curious look on his face.

“Yeah, see? Gremlins coming!”

The little Goop immediately lit up, smiling wide and eyes sparkling. Ren had no notice before her hand was well wrapped in Goop, her phone held hostage in the middle of it.

“Aye, I uh, take it you’re happy to see him huh?”

All he gave was a happy chirp and a hug to her hand and phone. She couldn’t help but smile, so far Goop had been having a great day, and that’s exactly what she was aiming for.

“Alright, lets go find your party hat. I think Sailors just about done with it.”

“Party! Yes!”

“Party is right little guy...”

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOOP WE LOVE YOU!

“H-Hey calm down Goop-hehAha! Quit it!”

Goop was curled around the horn of a certain minty orb, basically vibrating at the kind message.

“Thank! Love, YOU!”

Galacta returned to hanging the streamers in his hands, giving a chuckle at the slimes excitement.

“Yeah, it’s looking good right? Love you too Goop.”

Goop rubs up to the knight, happy with the message and the decor his friends were putting up.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Happy Birthday, Goop!!! Have an amazing day!!!

The little slime wiggles, literally glowing with joy.

“Goop party! Thank!”

He’s very excited. There’s the sound of cookware being used downstairs, and the smell of something baking. He must be excited for a few reasons!

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

“crew application”

“>by the way, you have a notification.”

Ren glanced up from her podium, the message now on screen.

“Crew application, from some guy named dedede? CS did you put out a kirbslist ad or something?”

“>yes because I want to attract attention and put myself in danger.”

There was a definite tired and knowing glare from the egg.

“>yes watching you deal with it is fun but no, I didn’t.”

“Whatever. I don’t know why he’d want to join this crazy crew though.”

She returns to her work, the notification disappearing

[parttimepuff]

“Of course from up here, there’s more room to get your wings open.”

Galacta hovered, holding the puff firmly but not enough to hurt. She definitely hadn’t gotten much air time in. Looking down, more than almost three hundred feet below, Galacta gave a hum. It didn’t seem very high to him. But then again, he’d been flying longer. And not bad for only a couple wing beats too.

“Only twenty feet up? Well, I think that may be changing soon.”

The puff was a ball of fear in his hands, that much was painfully obvious. Adjusting his hands a little, he switched to holding her more than just her nubs. He wasn’t going to drop her or let her fall, maybe she just hadn’t gotten that yet. And Luna’s eyes were shut too. This wasn’t any good.

“Luna…”

It wasn’t just the fear of falling, it wasn’t knowing if she could catch herself. Seemed that this lesson had to start with a breathing exercise instead.

“Luna, don’t be afraid. You trust me, right?”

Galacta slowed his flaps, steadying the both in the air. If she needed a second he could give her one.

There was plenty of room on the ground for her to open her wings, she thought to herself. Her wings were tiny compared to Galacta’s, she could open them all the way even if she were inside her tiny house. The house where she’d left her cats just now. She really hoped her scream didn’t scare them too badly.

The confirmation that they were currently higher than she’d ever been, though she still didn’t know by how much, made her fear a bit more intense. Luna didn’t even know how she’d react when she looked down. Would she pass out? Freak out? This was different from being high up in her ship, she was in the open air. Even though she knew she was safe with Galacta, she couldn’t be sure her own fear wouldn’t outweigh her reason.

Hearing Galacta call her name, she turned herself toward him, cracking an eye open just enough to see him and not the ground. She tried to stay calm, to not be scared. She was safe. “I-I, um, yes. I do trust you.” And she meant that. Even if she really did faint or something, he’d make sure she was ok. The last thing she wanted was for her own stupid worrying to make Galacta think she didn’t trust him.

With that in mind, Luna took a few deep breaths before slowly opening her eyes a bit more. Finally, she got a good look at how high up they were. And something changed. There was still a part of her that was scared of the height, but the overwhelming majority was awestruck by how amazing it was up here. “W-wow…” She would feel stupid for being scared at all if she wasn’t so absorbed in the sight.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Below his mask, there was a smile. It felt nice to be trusted, and she did trust him, after all. And then she looked down. He held on, just in case her nerves got the better of her after all. So far she seemed alright, except for the absolutely stunned expression.

“It’s pretty high, I know. But the view is well worth it.”

Well, high for her. Galacta held his position, hovering above the world like it was nothing.

“So, you do know how to fly right? I mean-“

Of course she knew how to fly, she’d done it before.

“What I mean is, you would be able to support yourself up here? I can hold you as long as you need if you want to try lower.”

He would like to get a look at just her flying in general, see if any improvements were needed. All he really knew was take off and landing needed work. But flying was an encompassing exercise. All the bits worked together. Nudging Luna, he gave another flap. Waiting for her answer. If she wanted to watch for a little while though, she can.

“I, didn’t scare you too bad did I?”

Yeah, the cats probably heard the scream, but Galacta definitely did.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Floating into the bridge, Ren took a quick stock of the happenings. Normally there weren’t any, this was the time of day most everyone else was asleep. But like her life recently, that didn’t seem to be the case. Sitting on her podium, wiggling back and forth as he watched the stars outside, was a very much awake, and happy, Goop.

“Hey kiddo, a little early for you isn’t it?”

Normally the little slime opted to stay in the computer, messing with wires and exploring. Some days she didn’t even see him.

“Today, cake!”

Cake? Now that, didn’t make a lick of sense.

“Uh...”

The little slime stopped his dancing, looking at the egg that now stood over him.

“Cake!”

Goops form shivered as he spoke, a fake little party hat forming above his face. He gave Ren a wide eyed smile, before returning to his happy wiggle. Seemed he thought it was explanation enough.

“A, party? Cake? Wait-“

Goop hadn’t tried this at any point earlier, despite seeing other like parties thrown...

“Goop, is it your birthday?”

A big wiggle out of the blob, and a happy giggle.

“Party! Yes!”

Ren couldn’t help but smile. He knew his own birthday, which was good because she didn’t. But he was excited for it, and by the sun she wouldn’t let that die for one second.

“>are you actually going to celebrate a slimes birthday?”

Ah yes. The one person that was always awake.

“And what if I do?”

“>people who celebrate slimes birthdays are annoying.”

CS stated. Bored. It seemed to be his motivation for a lot of things when it came to harassing or challenging Ren.

“You can shut up“

The bespectacled program shrugged, while Ren gave a pat to the slimes rapidly dissolving party hat.

“Well I guess we’ll have to do it right, considering it’s your first birthday here huh?”

“Yes!”

Goop chirped, his entire form rubbing up into Rens floating hand. The egg was going to have to organize an emergency party plan with the rest of the crew, but it shouldn’t be too bad.

“Yeah, Happy Birthday Goop.”

“Feeling better already?”

Galacta stepped into the bridge, wings following behind him for quite a ways. Ren floated at the podium, going through a list of sorts

“Yes, actually! Seems the inhibitor only worked for a short time.”

“>I told you the whole bottle wasn’t going to do much.”

CS is ignored, and Galacta is addressed again.

“I take it you’re up here for more than just to tell me your sight is back to normal, huh?”

“Yeah, our last stop? To Luna and Nightmare-“

“>not the same but okay”

“Luna had wanted some flying tips. I wanted to go practice with her for a while.”

Rens glove scrolled through the list, stopping on the one at the top. With a tap, the name is highlighted, then replaced with a new name at Rens typing. “Luna’s.” Was all it said now.

“You know you can’t take Sailor.”

“I know, but I think he’s had enough adventuring for a while anyway.”

The W slit of his mask doesn’t give away much, but the feeling of sorrow for leaving the kid behind was still there. Not that Popstar was high on his places to take Sailor, he didn’t want to leave the kid behind.

“I’ll make sure he’s all good, you know how to get there and back right?”

They both knew he knew, but safety was a little more pertinent after the last little escapade. The green knight nodded, already heading downstairs.

“Say hi to them for me!”

“Can do!”

~~~

It wasn’t nearly as impressive as the ship, but a hole being punched in the fabric of reality was still interesting regardless. It’s smaller, but big enough for the orb and his wings to soar through. Tilting into a lazy glide, Galacta starts scanning the trees for a house. One would think it’s more obvious, but it’s still a minute or so before he spots it for sure.

“There we go.”

His wings tuck, but not enough to send him rocketing down. There’s a spiral worked in as he descends, eventually coming to land gently on her porch. His wings hang behind him, off the edge, but it’s not something he’s worried about. In fact, it was nice to have somewhere for them to be besides the ground.

“Luna?”

He steps to the door, giving a knock.

Hopefully the sudden appearance wasn’t unwelcome, he’d hate to come at a bad time.

[parttimepuff]

Since the crew had left, life had gone back to the usual. As usual as usual could be, anyway. Gremlin had gone on his way after sufficiently melting about Goop calling him Dad. And then immediately after freaking out about ‘Wires’. He probably would have stuck around, but he just didn’t feel super safe being in one place for too long.

So, Luna was home alone again. Alone with her two cats, to be specific. Even though they were supposed to be safe, she found herself still a bit worried about the crew. Were they in that same ship? And, if so, could they really be safe?

The cats, as they always did, picked up that Luna wasn’t feeling her best. It wasn’t long until they were rubbing against her, trying to cheer her up. And it helped! She started to laugh and pet the two. It wasn’t long before she was playing with the both of them. It wasn’t as though she forgot about her worry, not at all. But sometimes she needed to accept that there were times when worrying did nothing good for anyone.

Winston’s ears twitched and he looked to the door. Cassandra wasn’t far behind him. Luna noticed this and stopped messing around to look. And just as soon as she had, she heard Galacta’s voice from the other side. Ah, the two must have heard him get to the porch.

She instantly brightened up when she heard him. If he could come visit, things must be fine, right? Luna went to the door and opened it up, big smile on her face. “Hi, Galacta!! I’m so glad to see you again! I knew that you were alright, but it’s still a relief to see for myself.”

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Galacta blinks below his mask. She was worried? Luna you’ve known him for maybe two days total but why does he get the feeling you would die for him? It felt nice, despite the lingering danger it put the lemon in if his gut feeling was right.

“It took a little magic-“

His horns crackle with sparks, but the display fades after a moment.

“But it takes more than that to put me out.”

Really it had been an effort on both his and Rens parts. It was a lot to get out of his system is all. The concern is touching, but worries weren’t something he had on the agenda today.

“Buuuuuut, if I remember, a certain orb had asked for advice when it came to flying.”

If he didn’t have his mask, he’d be giving her a knowing side eye, but it can probably be inferred just by the way he’s standing. Raising his wings just enough to cast a shadow on the porch, he offers a hand.

“The offer still stands, if you’d like.”

[parttimepuff]

It was more than two days, right? ...Maybe not, but still! Just because they hadn’t known each other long didn’t mean that she couldn’t care about how he was. ...And his feeling may be right, but no confirming or denying that. 

Luna’s expression changed to one of slight awe at the small display. She didn’t know that you could channel magic through anything but your nubs! Well, she wasn’t a magic expert, either. It was still really cool. 

She chuckled. “I guess I should’ve figured, huh? I’m still glad you’re ok now! No ill effects from, uh, whatever happened.” That was a not so subtle way of saying she didn’t have any details about how hurt he’d been, besides the feather. Still, she wasn’t going to pry about it.

Oh, that’s right! She had asked about that. Galacta was clearly an expert, so his advice would be more than helpful. The gesture struck her as kind of funny in that it was so formal. Like you’d read in a fantasy novel about knights. Of course, she wasn’t going to turn it down.

Placing her nub in his hand, Luna shook it. “I’d love to! I’m sure I’ll get a lot better with your help!”

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Two days collectively, he means. They’ve met on a few occasions. Galacta catches the look and gives a chuckle.

“A new one huh?”

They had come from separate universes, maybe it was a new one to her. Still, it was kinda nice to impress someone, even for just a moment.

“I’d say the worst was, well.”

His right wing lifts a little higher, showing a complete and full set of feathers.

“Replacing them can be fast, but by no means comfortable.”

Enough of that though, they were here to fly! Not dwell and be held down. And the offer was about as formal as he was going to get. Her shaking his hand was an unusual start, but it gave him a chance to get a better grip on her nub.

He was gonna need it.

“I hope you’re ready to start.”

There’s a mischievous smile behind that mask. You could feel it. No sooner would Luna feel it than Galacta takes a step back.

Off the porch.

Holding her nub.

With a thunderous CRACK, his wings snap open, beating down on the air outside the porch.

Launching him up with Luna in tow. He has a good grip on her, no threat of the puff falling. Not that he wouldn’t be able to catch her anyway. Soon they’re a good ways above the trees, Galacta holding both of her nubs, supporting the both of them in the sky.

“So, lets see what you know”

Galacta don’t say that when it could be interpreted as you about to drop her, don’t do that.

He won’t but-

[parttimepuff]

Perhaps it wasn’t that unusual in her universe, but Luna certainly hadn’t seen it before. Plus, magic was just really cool! Even though she’d been exposed to a lot of it by now, there was still so little she knew about it. She nodded enthusiastically at the comment.

Luna looked at his wing, expecting to see damage and finding none. His comment about replacing them surprised her. “You can just, regrow them when you lose them? I mean, really fast? I wish I could do that! If I lost enough feathers, I’d just be stuck on the ground for awhile.” At least, she assumed so. Her wings weren’t exactly natural.

Ready to start? Well, maybe she could do some stretches first, but-what is this intense feeling of dread all of a sudden? Before Luna could say anything, she saw Galacta step back and felt him start to pull her with him. Eyes widening, she started to step forward, partly to get her balance now that he had pulled her forward, when with a crack they took to the sky.

And man oh man, did she shriek all the way up. Though, with the thunderous sound of Galacta’s takeoff, it was unlikely she was heard at all. While she didn’t expect Galacta to drop her, Luna still held his hands as tightly as she could. Seemed she’d even closed her eyes sometime on the way up.

“F-from up here?!?” Luna squeaked out, eyes shut tight. Did she even know how high up they were? “I-I’ve only been up about 20 feet a-and that’s cause I was being chased!!” It seemed she was a mix between being actually afraid and doubting herself.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

“Of course from up here, there’s more room to get your wings open.”

Galacta hovered, holding the puff firmly but not enough to hurt. She definitely hadn’t gotten much air time in. Looking down, more than almost three hundred feet below, Galacta gave a hum.

“Buuuuuut, if I remember, a certain orb had asked for advice when it came to flying.”

If he didn’t have his mask, he’d be giving her a knowing side eye, but it can probably be inferred just by the way he’s standing. Raising his wings just enough to cast a shadow on the porch, he offers a hand.

“The offer still stands, if you’d like.”

It was more than two days, right? ...Maybe not, but still! Just because they hadn’t known each other long didn’t mean that she couldn’t care about how he was. ...And his feeling may be right, but no confirming or denying that. 

Luna’s expression changed to one of slight awe at the small display. She didn’t know that you could channel magic through anything but your nubs! Well, she wasn’t a magic expert, either. It was still really cool. 

She chuckled. “I guess I should’ve figured, huh? I’m still glad you’re ok now! No ill effects from, uh, whatever happened.” That was a not so subtle way of saying she didn’t have any details about how hurt he’d been, besides the feather. Still, she wasn’t going to pry about it.

Oh, that’s right! She had asked about that. Galacta was clearly an expert, so his advice would be more than helpful. The gesture struck her as kind of funny in that it was so formal. Like you’d read in a fantasy novel about knights. Of course, she wasn’t going to turn it down.

Placing her nub in his hand, Luna shook it. “I’d love to! I’m sure I’ll get a lot better with your help!”

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Two days collectively, he means. They’ve met on a few occasions. Galacta catches the look and gives a chuckle.

“A new one huh?”

They had come from separate universes, maybe it was a new one to her. Still, it was kinda nice to impress someone, even for just a moment.

“I’d say the worst was, well.”

His right wing lifts a little higher, showing a complete and full set of feathers.

“Replacing them can be fast, but by no means comfortable.”

Enough of that though, they were here to fly! Not dwell and be held down. And the offer was about as formal as he was going to get. Her shaking his hand was an unusual start, but it gave him a chance to get a better grip on her nub.

He was gonna need it.

“I hope you’re ready to start.”

There’s a mischievous smile behind that mask. You could feel it. No sooner would Luna feel it than Galacta takes a step back.

Off the porch.

Holding her nub.

With a thunderous CRACK, his wings snap open, beating down on the air outside the porch.

Launching him up with Luna in tow. He has a good grip on her, no threat of the puff falling. Not that he wouldn’t be able to catch her anyway. Soon they’re a good ways above the trees, Galacta holding both of her nubs, supporting the both of them in the sky.

“So, lets see what you know”

Galacta don’t say that when it could be interpreted as you about to drop her, don’t do that.

He won’t but-

“Feeling better already?”

Galacta stepped into the bridge, wings following behind him for quite a ways. Ren floated at the podium, going through a list of sorts

“Yes, actually! Seems the inhibitor only worked for a short time.”

“>I told you the whole bottle wasn’t going to do much.”

CS is ignored, and Galacta is addressed again.

“I take it you’re up here for more than just to tell me your sight is back to normal, huh?”

“Yeah, our last stop? To Luna and Nightmare-“

“>not the same but okay”

“Luna had wanted some flying tips. I wanted to go practice with her for a while.”

Rens glove scrolled through the list, stopping on the one at the top. With a tap, the name is highlighted, then replaced with a new name at Rens typing. “Luna’s.” Was all it said now.

“You know you can’t take Sailor.”

“I know, but I think he’s had enough adventuring for a while anyway.”

The W slit of his mask doesn’t give away much, but the feeling of sorrow for leaving the kid behind was still there. Not that Popstar was high on his places to take Sailor, he didn’t want to leave the kid behind.

“I’ll make sure he’s all good, you know how to get there and back right?”

They both knew he knew, but safety was a little more pertinent after the last little escapade. The green knight nodded, already heading downstairs.

“Say hi to them for me!”

“Can do!”

~~~

It wasn’t nearly as impressive as the ship, but a hole being punched in the fabric of reality was still interesting regardless. It’s smaller, but big enough for the orb and his wings to soar through. Tilting into a lazy glide, Galacta starts scanning the trees for a house. One would think it’s more obvious, but it’s still a minute or so before he spots it for sure.

“There we go.”

His wings tuck, but not enough to send him rocketing down. There’s a spiral worked in as he descends, eventually coming to land gently on her porch. His wings hang behind him, off the edge, but it’s not something he’s worried about. In fact, it was nice to have somewhere for them to be besides the ground.

“Luna?”

He steps to the door, giving a knock.

Hopefully the sudden appearance wasn’t unwelcome, he’d hate to come at a bad time.

[parttimepuff]

Since the crew had left, life had gone back to the usual. As usual as usual could be, anyway. Gremlin had gone on his way after sufficiently melting about Goop calling him Dad. And then immediately after freaking out about ‘Wires’. He probably would have stuck around, but he just didn’t feel super safe being in one place for too long.

So, Luna was home alone again. Alone with her two cats, to be specific. Even though they were supposed to be safe, she found herself still a bit worried about the crew. Were they in that same ship? And, if so, could they really be safe?

The cats, as they always did, picked up that Luna wasn’t feeling her best. It wasn’t long until they were rubbing against her, trying to cheer her up. And it helped! She started to laugh and pet the two. It wasn’t long before she was playing with the both of them. It wasn’t as though she forgot about her worry, not at all. But sometimes she needed to accept that there were times when worrying did nothing good for anyone.

Winston’s ears twitched and he looked to the door. Cassandra wasn’t far behind him. Luna noticed this and stopped messing around to look. And just as soon as she had, she heard Galacta’s voice from the other side. Ah, the two must have heard him get to the porch.

She instantly brightened up when she heard him. If he could come visit, things must be fine, right? Luna went to the door and opened it up, big smile on her face. “Hi, Galacta!! I’m so glad to see you again! I knew that you were alright, but it’s still a relief to see for myself.”

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Galacta blinks below his mask. She was worried? Luna you’ve known him for maybe two days total but why does he get the feeling you would die for him? It felt nice, despite the lingering danger it put the lemon in if his gut feeling was right.

“It took a little magic-“

His horns crackle with sparks, but the display fades after a moment.

“But it takes more than that to put me out.”

Really it had been an effort on both his and Rens parts. It was a lot to get out of his system is all. The concern is touching, but worries weren’t something he had on the agenda today.

⊂(・▽・⊂)≡≡==── it is merely goop, he will be gentle

The other, local goop has been chilling in the same spot they hid in after their recent scare. They've since fallen asleep thanks to the fact that, well, hiding in a bush isn't the most entertaining of activities one could perform. Their little nap ends when they feel something soft sorta wrap around them, which quickly wakes and startles them.

With no idea what is touching them and no clue what a hug is, they let out a loud squeak and move backwards before actually looking at what it was. Just as quickly as the scare occurs, childlike curiosity somewhat takes over now, and they stop panicking.

Weird looking, squishy, looks like a blob... is this another mimic? The baby lets out a slightly quieter squeak, more or less translating to a verbal "?????????" in baby mimic language.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

“Not interested huh?”

She knew that kinda sound. Some food just wasn’t to some people’s taste.

“Goop, maybe we should leave the little guy be?”

They certainly didn’t seem interested in coming out of the bush, or coming near Ren period. Still though, very peculiar to see this little blob, and no parents in sight.

Maybe this was a mirror goop.

The possibilities were definitely there, but the answers were not.

Goop, was not deterred. Mush had returned to leaves, and so the orange blob ate the rest of the cheezits on his own. Not a fan, it seemed. Goop couldn’t relate, he liked everything.

“Hmm... leaf...”

He plucked one for himself, dissolving the greenery before looking up to Ren again. Edible, but the leaves weren’t that fantastic.

“Go, but, Mush?”

The little blobby friend was still alone, and had only calmed down just now! They couldn’t go yet! Goop takes another leaf, this time offering it to the one eyed blob. He wanted to still be friends, even if the meeting was brief.

[scourge-of-stars-archive]

There was something else they wanted to try. Taking a few seconds to focus, the little blob changes their shape to that of the cheezit they had examined a second ago. The shape and size are right, aside from it having an eye, but the color... isn't.

Still haven't figured out how to fix that yet, or maybe there's something else keeping them from changing it much? Mimic biology is weird and that's from the perspective of someone who actually knows that Mush is one. Baby still has no idea what they are.

"Leamf?"

Not quite what Goop said, but in their defense, they are a blue-green cheezit right now. Though, they return to their original state when offered a leaf, which they gladly accept.

"E!"

Funny Mush eat a leaf.

[oddsquadorbs-blog]

Funny mush indeed, Ren gives a little amused “hmph” at their talent. Maybe they were a mirror of Goop. The lack of colors following when they changed and their general appearance seemed to indicate as much.

“So, leaves huh?”

Seemed to be a favorite. Ren watched for another minute before the bush began to return to its original shape. The hole closing. It was a peculiar creature, for sure, but perhaps it should stay here. She didn’t know much about caring for, whatever it was Mush was, and she was still figuring out Goop! A twig within the bush taps Goop on the head, indicating its time to go.

“?”

Already? Goop had almost bopped the former cheezit, curious, until it had changed back. And now Hood wanted to go...

“Awh...”

Goop would make sure to come check on Mush in the future, just to check up. He quite liked the other blob, after all. And as occupied as they were with the leaf, Goop was able to make a quiet slip away.

He would have to remind Hood to put this on the list.
