What was the best day of your life?

“It’s kinda hard to pick just one! There’s been lots of fun adventures and great moments! Mmh... the day I met my big bro Red is definitely one of the best though!!” 

[quoted-story]

I hear you're a pro at balancing things on your head. Other than puppies, what else can you balance?

“You better believe it! Hmm, well I can also balance hot dogs and soup bowls... pretty much anything, really! Even people.”

A summer comic about a boy trying to teach his robot brother how to play Suikawari (Japanese Watermelon pinata game) but he just can’t get it right.

Based on something @quoted-story and I were plotting out

Decided to try a chibi artstyle this time

quoted-story

“As if the same trick will work twice!” Misery snapped, raising her staff and causing two rings of black energy to appear, spinning around her like a small shield and blocking the second ember from Charmander.

Laughing triumphantly when she saw the attack get blocked, the rings suddenly transformed into little red bats and started flying towards Charmander and Red to attack them.

Meanwhile, Quote had landed behind Balrog after his charge attack and shot the creature a few times with his Polar Star, causing Balrog to let out a growl of pain, “Yowch!”

Merigold was safe, at least for the moment. Misery’s focus was drawn by Red and his Pokemon while Balrog was distracted by Quote. Not that he’d have wanted to attack Merigold anyway.

Dark type moves. Now that he thought of it, when Blue’s Squirtle bit Charmander during their first battle, what was the nature of that move? Dark type. Just like what was happening now. 

He didn’t want to hear that scream anymore, not from his first Pokemon, not from the Pokemon that trusted him. Like Merigold did to protect the Buneary creature, Red had done to Charizard, sheilding him from the coming attacks. 

“I-I’m not lettin’ you go through that again, buddy.” The bats hurt, slicing at his skin and burning a little, yet he still sheilded Charmander from all the attacks. He takes his Pokeball and Charmander looks at his trainer worriedly. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, I’m still learnin’ about type matches, but we’ll get through this together, okay? We jus’ gotta think of another plan.” Charmander nods and snuggles up close to Red. The trainer slightly turns his head to see Quote fighting hard. He was probably worried about him. No he shouldn’t be…Red was his big brother, and big brothers protect their siblings!

And at that moment he had a plan. Charmander was only two feet so it would be possible for him to roll out and surprise the witch lady. He’s never done any sort of Pokemon battling like this before, but it was worth a shot. Under his breath he told Charmander the plan and the fire type understood. Red turned to Quote for a second to give him a smile to show he was okay and went back into his locked position doing his best to cover Charmander as he rolled away out of sight.

“…….b-boys…” Merigold held the Mimiga a bit tighter as tears fell from her eyes and onto the fluffy head of the buneary like creature. She looks up at her worriedly, why was the human crying? Not knowing what to do, she pats her face with her paw in an attempt to wipe her tears. “…don’t cry…why are you crying?” Her voice was as inoccent as a child’s, in fact, this could be a…what were they called? Yes, this could be a Mimiga child. Usually something that looked so Pokemon-like would scare her, but she stayed brave for her children. The mother waited a second before she answered. “….I wish…I wish my children would stop fighting…”

[quoted-story]

Quote glanced over and saw Red getting hit by the bats Misery had summoned and his eyes widened with concern, “Big brother!” He shouted, taking a step in Red’s direction. It was foolish to get distracted like that in a fight and he was punished for it a moment later when Balrog tackled him, sending the robot tumbling across the ground.

“Ha! How do you like that!?” Balrog said smugly. The little robot had been darting around, avoiding him and hitting him with that pea shooter of his, so Balrog was feeling pretty smug in that moment. Quote quickly picked himself up off the ground, glaring at the soap-shaped creature. When he glanced over at Red again and saw his brother’s smile he smiled back. Time to turn the tables!

“Let’s finish this!” Misery said with a grin. She raised her staff and a block of stone appeared in the sky, hovering above Red for a moment before dropping towards him. At the same time, Balrog jumped in the air and fired a volley of missiles at Quote, which the robot dodged frantically while shooting back at the creature, “Oww!!” Balrog winced as several of the energy bolts struck his large body.

“Woah!” Quote held on tight As Jason leaped off the peak, unable to resist the temptation to glance downwards once as they soared through the air. They sure were a long way up…! Thankfully, the little robot had a pretty strong grip and soon enough they were both safely on Sanctuary. He let out a little sigh of relief as he dropped down onto the ground and stretched out his arms and legs, “That was fun!” 

Jason gave the hitchhiker a stern look on his face. “We’re not doing that again.” The vault hunter got back up on his feet before resuming his conversation. “Wait for me at Dr. Zed’s I gotta explain to some Crimson Raiders why I got here the unconventional way. Again.” He came to a halt after taking a few steps before heading back to the pale one. “On second thought, wait for me at Moxxi’s.”

[quoted-story]

“Aw,” The little robot couldn’t help but give a slight pout. Despite the danger, it had been pretty fun. The disappointment didn’t last long though, “Dr. Zed’s, got it,” He nodded and started to look around the area. He had taken a couple of steps in a random direction when Jason returned, “Moxxi’s? Got it!” He said cheerfully before heading out in search of Moxxi’s his curious gaze constantly sweeping back and forth as he explored the area.

quoted-story‌:

Quote smiled a bit as he watched Isaac staring contemplatively at the blade. At his next words, the robot chimed in, “Maybe they could sense that you’re working hard to help the Mimiga and they wanted to protect you.”

It wasn’t really anything more than a stab in the dark but that was the first thing that came to the earnest robot’s mind. Then again, the Mimiga he’d met so far seemed pretty friendly so maybe they just wanted to help in general.

He shook his head a bit, reminding himself that they were still in a dangerous place and he shouldn’t dwell on it too much for the moment, “Should we keep moving?” He suggested, taking another look around and making sure his Polar Star was at the ready.

“Maybe. Maybe. Whatever the case i’m happy for it.” Perhaps a bit selfishly, he was proud to be recognized by the spirit enough to call upon it well enough. Even if it was a bit draining to use it in full.

“I will admit I have a bit of a fondness for the Mimiga and their culture which probably helps a bit.” He honestly had no idea if that factored into anything, but it was true enough. They had been the highlight of the island for him, and that was a bit surprising even for him since he was a bit of a tech head.

With his breath caught and his focus back, he nodded. “Yeah. We keep going.” He quickly took a glance around the structure for anything with taking, and gave a small grunt at not finding anything. Not surprising, but still disappointing none the less. A common thing down here. He pressed back out into the daylight after that.

[quoted-story]

“I can see why, they’re certainly the friendliest creatures I’ve met here,” Quote said with a light chuckle, a little smile spreading across the robot’s face. Asides from Isaac, the Mimiga were pretty much the only ones who hadn’t tried to kill him on sight.

“Understood,” He nodded when Isaac said they’d keep going and his face returned to a serious expression as he prepared to move out. He kept his guard up as he followed Isaac back out into the daylight, eyes scanning their surroundings for any sign of danger.

quoted-story‌:

As Quote listened to Lore’s plan a grim but determined smile spread across the robot’s face and he gave a small nod, “That’s a good plan!” He whispered back, “Get ready to run!”

The misty figures were continuing to close in, emitting a low howling noise that grew louder as they inched ever closer. There was a triumphant laugh that seemed to come from every direction around them, “Hey creep! Let’s see how you like this!” Quote shouted.

He raised his gun and swung it in the direction of the computer terminals. He pulled the trigger and kept it held down, a faint charging hum emitting from the blue gun. After a few seconds he released the trigger and a huge beam of light fired from the little gun directly into the computer terminals.

The effect was both dramatic and instantaneous. The computers hit directly by the beams exploded just like Lore had predicted and said explosions quickly triggered a chain reactions in the others, a little chain of explosions that spread from the center of the terminals down to either row.

A shockwave of heat and force spread through the room, dispersing the mist and scattering the ghostly images in it. There was a pained roar that caused even Quote to flinch. But it had given them the opening they needed!

“Let’s go!” Quote shouted, breaking into a sprint directly for the exit.

Sometimes, Lore wished he had some sort of reliable weapon like Quote so that he would be able to carry out part of a plan. He’ll have to deal with trusting Quote, his knuckles turning white from how tight he was gripping the scissors. He gave a terse nod at his ally’s suggestion, his lips were a flat line. There was no need to tell him twice to run when that was probably the best option he knew of for this situation.

There was a slight feeling of relief as the terminals exploded in quick succession, but the boy kept himself ready to run as soon as he found an opening. His gaze was intense as he scoured the vicinity, the smoke serving to impede his vision. However, Quote’s shout reached his ears, even with all the screams that made the teenager wince. Were they all people before? He took one last chance to quickly examine the phantasms. They were melting into the smoke, losing their shape, piece by piece. He couldn’t tell if the fire damaged the book.

Then he turned away. There was no time to bother trying any harder. Being left behind was not ideal. With his free hand, he used the front of his sweater to cover his mouth and nose and darted after the robot, taking care not to get caught in the debris. Sparks flew. The heat was becoming unbearable. Despite the thick fabric, he could still smell the smoke in the sparse but quick breaths he took. He could barely see the exit before he ran through it. The multiple-limbed creatures were distracted by the confusion. They continued to spin.

But the boy didn’t stop running until he was far from the commotion. The smoke billowed out the door, dispersing into the next area. He slowly lowered the cloth from his mouth, “Do you think they’re…?” There was no immediate danger to be seen, but he couldn’t risk jinxing it.

Why did he still have a big premonition here?

[quoted-story]

Quote kept his head tilted downwards as he ran through the smoke and flames towards the exit. As a robot he was less sensitive to the smoke than a human like Lore was but it could still damage his internal systems if too much of it got inside him.

As he ran, he did his best to ignore the otherworldly noises and the intense heat, which had become strong enough to tax his internal cooling systems and make him uncomfortable. He felt a wave of relief as he and Lore emerged from the smoke into a new room.

“We made it...!” He gasped out, taking big breaths of the fresh air and looking remarkably human as he did, “That was scary...” He mumbled, a relieved smile on his face as he stole a glance back in the direction they’d come from.

“They... they’ve gotta be, right...?” He sounded hopeful but a part of him was worried that they hadn’t seen the last of that book’s nasty tricks. Worried enough that he didn’t want to jinx it either and left it at that.

“Where are we now?” He wondered, finally taking a moment to look around, “Woah! This place is beautiful! Is this... an indoor garden...?”

Attachment Style Questionnair

Tagged by: @panickypeachboy

Tagging: @champofpallet, @tazmilyfarmboi, anyone who wants to steal this!

ANXIOUS

You long to be close to people, very close, but often find the reality disappointing. You feel intensely, but are frequently let down. Sometimes you can get very angry with people in whom you’d invested a lot. The love you knew in childhood was warm, but perhaps erratic. Probably people let you down. It’s made your emotional needs feel urgent and powerful and your sense of emotional stability slightly rocky. You frequently feel that those you love are slipping away from you.

It can be very hard to change your attachment style, but knowing which one you might have is a vital first step. You might want to start to observe how nervous you can feel of your partner's intentions - sometimes a bit unfairly. You could try to explain that you've done a questionnaire, that the answer was 'anxious' and that this interests you rather a lot. Having a vocabulary with which to discuss our patterns of love can be very helpful. Next time you feel abandoned or humiliated, take a moment to ask whether bad intentions are really at play.

Try to find out what attachment style your partner has. If they're avoidant, take a moment to read this article.

Matt hummed as he searched around his Mountain for more areas for his lab

Quote was exploring the mountain at the same time, not with any particular goal in mind, just out of curiosity. He had just climbed up a boulder and looked around when he spotted Matt not far away, “Oh!” He smiled and waved, calling out, “Hello there!”

[muses-of-insanity]

He turned around with a raised brow “hm? Who are you?”

Quote hopped down and walked over, “I’m Quote!” He introduced himself, “What’s your name?”

ＱＵＯＴＥ

When Lucas mentioned only one way to find out Quote’s stomach answered for him by emitting a low growl. He hadn’t eaten yet as a human and now that he was thinking about food he was definitely feeling hungry. He didn’t have any food on him though…

His eyes followed Lucas’ finger down to the village beneath them, “Really?!” He asked, eyes sparkling with excitement and a big smile spreading across his face. He was going to have food as a human! With his human friend! Like a real human! This was exciting enough to make him forget his worries for the moment.

“Yeah! Let’s go!” He excitedly pushed himself to his feet with a slight wince and then turned to Lucas, offering him a hand to help him to his feet with a big smile and warm cheeks.

At least Lucas finally knew Quote’s stomach was working. Again, it’s a wonder how his friend became fully human with seemingly all the works, but the very idea of the process is enough to spin his head around for now. Now? Lucas’ own stomach let out its own guttural growl in response, clearly signalling it’s time for food.

“Yeah, a bunch o’ people called Mr Saturns! I’m sure you’re going t’ like them.” Lucas took Quote’s hand and hoisted himself up, even if his own hand was sweaty and gross from their earlier volcano trip. In fact, all of him could do with a good cool-down as well as some good grub…

In contrast to earlier, the walk to Saturn Valley was much more lenient. Aside from a couple of small cliffs to jump down and stick the landing on, the trek was much more peaceful with a welcome lack of wild animals to get in their way. However, all this extra walking just seemed to tire Lucas out once again. About a couple more steps away from the village, Lucas sighed and wiped his brow.

“Almost there… y’ holdin’ up?”

[quoted-story]

Quote giggled quietly when he heard Lucas’ stomach growl. Looked like they were both hungry! He held his friends’ hand firmly and helped him pull himself up, “They’re called Mr. Saturns?” He asked, tilting his head a little.

“Wait, like all of them? How do they tell each other apart, doesn’t it get confusing?” He asked Lucas, his curiosity shining through even as they made their way down to the valley. He was a little slower than he usually was due to his new human body and feeling a little tired.

Mimicking Lucas, he took his cap off for a second to wipe his brow before breathing out a little sigh, “I’m okay!” He insisted with a smile, though his exhaustion was plain to see. Luckily, it was balanced out by his excitement to meet these Mr. Saturns and try out some of their food.

“This is fun!”
