Bad News Brigade

Peek:

I look over from the energy console I had been monitoring and got up.

"Right. Okay."

I wonder if dad's worried about both of us and trying to get us to go.

I... guess this is one way to help... Even if it feels like running from protecting our home...

When I get up to them, mom doesn't look up, she looks so out of it and is breathing a little loudly.

I frown worried and look to dad.

"Uh.. No?..."

I look to mom.

"Mom?... Let's go."

I pause then touch her arm tentatively. She jumps and looks to me weirdly.

"Come on... It's okay..."

I try to gently lead her by the arm.

Meanwhile grandpa trances out somewhere on mind pets. ;)

Bad News Brigade

Peek:

I listen to dad. Uh oh... I look back to the screen concerned. Then here dad call Settie's name and ask for help.

I rush over and see the weird sight.

Oh no! Are they offing themselves before the crystal hive gets here!?

I struggle against the others clawing at themselves, trying to pull their appendages away from them and web their hands to the wall then there ankles to the floor.

I hear Settie.

Ohh.. So that's what's happening!

Mom comes over concerned and upset at poor Settie. SHe kneels down to him concerned, then looks to Perry.

(Lor'Ra): (("Should we try to destroy it!?... Do you think that will lessen this... Mind signal?")) She asks upset. (("Mom and dad already knew it had some weird bad past. What if this gets worse!")) She mental speaks, worried if the hybrids here they'll go crazier.

Bad News Brigade

Peek:

I stare at the screen and swallow.

That.. That doesn't look good...

I mean.. I don't know what it means but... I assume it isn't...

That... That isn't normal, right???

(("D-dad?... There's.. Uh.. There's big pulses..."))

Stares at the screen worried.

(("Really big..."))

Bad News Brigade

Peek:

"Who was the message referring too?"

I ask dad confused.

"And.. Is there anything I can do?"

Ricochet

Peek:

(Lor'Ra): "We'll be waiting."

(Sydney): "... Good luck..."

I look up at the feed and nodded.

"On it!"

I go over to terminal and process the data.

My eyes follow the streams of data sent over from the ship's systems and I look for the registry.

"It says it's registered to a Thassa Gaia."

I keep looking over the scrolling text feed.

"It notes that she was rewarded the ship for rescuing Hesp and he even had it retrofitted to accommodate water tanks big enough to physically be in since she was a siren."

Ignus Fatuus

Peek:

I hope if he does have to loose them it wont take too long...

Dad asks me to keep the lab going for him.

I hope I'm smart enough for that...

But I'm sure I'll have help!

I nod,

When he's done with collecting the things I give him a big hug.

"Love you, dad!"

Momma comes over and hugs us too.

She looks at Perry for a moment then kisses his temple.

(Lor'Ra): "See you soon."

Ignus Fatuus

Peek:

Lowers head.

"Oh.. Right."

Poor mommy!

I look up at his lab work offer.

"Okay."

I go and sit next to him to help pack the bad needles and stuff.

Leans head against dad's arm.

"You'll come back. I know you will!"

Super daddy! ;)

Ignus Fatuus

Peek:

Wanders over to dad, Zip and grandma.

"Can I help?"

My eyes widen brightly at a thought.

"Maybe I can rope up or net bad guys with my webbing?" I offer.

[peekaboo-ttd]

Peek weaved his family silk pillows with his powers.

He added a note saying how they all work so hard, that they deserve a great rest too!

Happiest Time Of Year

Peek:

Grandpa nods at grandma, and I glance at dad then look down.

"Alright."

I take off my shoes and socks and feel the cold snow under foot, but it feels nice and it'll might help me get up there with sticky skinned feet as apposed to shoe tread.

Iget up and head over to the pole mobs fumbling over each other.

I wonder how slippery the poles are this year...

I climb over the people huddled at the bottom and middle half of people easily since there not covered in grease and I have sticky hands.

When I get to the pole, it is indeed slippery, but I just tighten my grip and let my spider strength do the work as I climb up.

I settle my weight and keep my feet and one hand grip firmly to the pole as I use my other greasy hand to knock the piñata down.

Candy rains down over the crowd.

QS is certain more dumb ass human children died in the ensuing trampling.

Awakening

Peek:

(("Oh, I see."))

I tilt my head thoughtfully, wondering if I should have brought something as well then.

I mean I made sure the new lady got clothes...

I should have gotten something nice for Grandpa too, I guess.

Grandpa smiles at Lore as we follow dad.

(Grandpa to Grandma): (("I guess daddy Perry wants us both brought home at a respectable hour. No late nighters for us kids.")) He winks teasingly.

[peekaboo-ttd]

Awakening

Peek:

I nodded.

I hope I'm ready for it...

...And make dad proud...

I follow him and look and grandpa peering down at bushes.

He looks up when dad mind speaks.

(Grandpa): (("Oh, hey again..."))

(("Hi..."))

He glances back down at the ground for a moment searching the area.

I go into reconnaissance mode and start asking questions.

(("Whatcha doing, grandpa?"))

(Grandpa): (("Looking for materials to use."))

(("Are you making something?"))

He shrugs.

(Grandpa): (("I don't know yet. Depends what I find."))

....

Okay...

I glance at dad then back to watching grandpa who frowns seemingly disappointed in his search so far.

[peekaboo-ttd]

Awakening

Peek:

"Oh."

I lower my head thoughtfully as I try to think of what to say.

"That's great dad... I'm glad we'll finally be able to make a difference in everyone's lives."

I try to think of what'll be expected of me now.

Maybe showing up in public appearances can inspire hope again.

[peekaboo-ttd]

Awakening

Peek:

I lower my chin as I get hair ruffles and smile widely at dad's praise.

I glance to Settie.

"Ah, it was nothing."

I smile watching them start chatting.

I hope more friends for him makes him more comfortable here...

I glance away hoping to not make them uncomfortable by staring or anything and hope they have a good time.

[peekaboo-ttd]

Awakening

Peek:

I grab a pinecone and throw it in the opposite direction against a trashcan making a metal clang noise hoping to distract them.

Then I turn and zipline from tree to tree keeping up with her running.

(("Okay. Good job. You lost them."))

I try to decide if I should stay looking humanoid or appear like my mum and grandma and try to look god-like. I decide to stick to humanoid... Just in case this is a trap and I don't want to expose my family...

I swing launch myself ahead and drop down a little ways in front of her and stand up.

(("I need to check you real quick. Make you you don't have anything on you that can be tracked for your safety and ours. Then you'll have to wear eye protection for a few minutes during entry."))

Aka webbed blindfold to keep the path hidden just in case...

(("After that you'll be all good and get to be with Billy and Settie under our protection."))

[peekaboo-ttd]

Awakening

Peek:

I tilt my head.

Well that helps confirm this a lot.

(("Yes. He said he left a girl here and asked me to come here to rescue her."))

I think all the hybrids aren't paying attention and even if they weren't, I think they'd be too high to care to watch a girl wander off.

I try to think of how to move her away from the others without giving her any possible directional clues, so I can blindfold her and take her to base.

I zip line west around the side of the part then north so it appears like the way forward is opposite from where I had come from.

(("Turn to your right and head forward. Leave these hybrids. Once you're out of their sight I'll meet you on the forest floor and take you to safety."))
