oh? who, and what, do we have here?

I don't know if you're meaning towards the characters, so I'm gonna answer this. If this is meant for the characters, resend it.

This is an AU of where instead of Black Mesa using humans as Guards, they used an alien race. The B.Calhouns, which is actually a keysmash from a frustrated scientist.

Speaking of Scientists, They are not good. None of the Calhouns are here willingly. They were hatched here and raised here, their instincts muddled to think that the entire Black Mesa facility and employees are their hives.

And Calhouns are extremely protective over their hives.

Gordon himself here isn't a perfect man either, he's definitely not a bad scientist- as in this au, he isn't a scientist at all. He isn't a Calhoun either. I'm going to leave his backstory here, but hes definitely going to appear at somepoint.

Anyway, in this AU you will be following 5 Calhouns: #29-A (Blueshift (The Original Barney:tm:)) #118-A (Bold) #169-B (Bard) #192-B (Bracing) #247-C (Bubbles)

All of them having their own personalities and all of them reacting to the fall of their 'hive' in their own ways.

if we are starting out, how much is the story changing? How should we askers deal with plot points we may already know? How should we the askers and you the creator organically 'invent' their names we already know?

The story shouldn’t be changing too much, it should follow the same plot points, but depending on the askers words it might change a bit.

I, or rather the G-Man, will be keeping any more revealing asks of the future at bay or masked, and for the names, I believe the calhouns would have Nicknames for eachother.

While some preferred their numbers *coughBoldcough*, a bunch of them would have nicknames.

Doing it this way should make it easier for you all to organically give them their names. I’m

It's been a while, huh?

So folks! It's been about.. what, two, three years since I last posted here?

Well, I actually never forgot about this. I just got frustrated with how I could show my story. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret commissioning those icons, just for me, they were very limited.

So, what I've been doing for the past two years was working on my own art skills and on the Calhoun race.

I'm going to open the ask box, and it's going to permanently stay open. You can send any ask about/for the Calhouns if you want.

I have a plan, and there will probably be a 'reset' for the story. Aka we're going to the beguinning again.

But until then- here is the core five again. I'll probably fiddling with them until my fully happy though. So don't be surprised if I change these a bit. *coughParticularlyTheHairStylescough*

All together, the five brothers slowly, one by one, fell asleep in the back of the rumbling car. The white butterflies around them carefully keeping watch.

[officialbarneyhivemind]

You rest. You deserve it. We'll make sure nothing sneaks up on you

{Bracing popped his head up from the blankets}

“..Thank you.”

[officialbarneyhivemind]

B0ys!!! -Zer0

{Bold, on his back, swiped at you}

“Too loud. 192 is trying to rest.”

[officialbarneyhivemind]

thanks for trusting us Blue, means a lot.

“I.. don’t really have a choice, do I?”

{His words were soft as he tugged a blanket over his lap}

[officialbarneyhivemind]

Yes! We'll keep watch! Just like last time! Sleep well ^_^

{Bard didn’t even hesitate to climb into the back and settle into the blankets with his three other brothers}

“..Sleeping piles are nice.”

{Only hesitating slightly, Blueshift joined his siblings}

[officialbarneyhivemind]

If you need us to leave you alone for a bit, we could always guard the van outside while you all slept :>

{Blueshift sighed, the growl cutting off}

“..All joking aside, we do need to rest. Besides, I.. don’t think Bubbles and Bold was getting proper rest while they regrew their tails anyway.”

{Bard looked slightly hopeful}

“..Sleeping pile? All of us?”

[officialbarneyhivemind]

but the love shack is where its at, baby :(

{A low, almost mocking growl escaped from Blueshift as he climbed into the back}

[officialbarneyhivemind]

[places a little butterfly kiss on blueshift] care you too blue~

“I will bite you.”

[officialbarneyhivemind]

Mean to us :(

“Mean for a reason.”

[officialbarneyhivemind]

Blueshift might not like us very much, but your all very precious to us

“Blueshift likes you!”

“He’s just annoyed!”

[officialbarneyhivemind]

you can squish me but youll never squish out the fact that im going to get love shack stuck in all your heads

“You know what.”

“I’m going to squish all the butterflies that appear tonight. No more annoying songs. I’m done.”
