Notable Party Poison Quotes

with apologies to @remixphoenix who started the series

“Can someone tell me to shut the fuck up? I don’t listen when I tell myself.”

“I brought Risk just in case we want a reason to fight them.”

“IF I DON’T FIND MY GOOD PEN SOON, SOMEONE WILL DIE, AND IT MIGHT BE ME.”

“I would rather eat the entire sun than talk to anyone right now.”

“Did you say something? I was thinking about owls and how they make no sense. Like, they can turn their whole head, what the fuck.”

“Per house rule 28, you’re actually not allowed to talk to me about laundry.”

“Hey, I’m doing a poll, would you rather be covered in your own blood or someone else’s? Yeah it’s four AM, what’s your point?”

“WHAT’S UP MOTHERFUCKERS, I’M COVERED IN GLITTER.”

[disloyalorder]

consider the zones constantly passing around unbelievable rumors and outstanding stories that gain enough traction to actually be broadcasted on the radio. some reports going so far as to even state that one of the killjoys happened to outragrously die even if it’s far from the truth

so you’ll have the killjoys sitting at a diner table prying into their lunch with the radio on and suddenly the report buzzes over the speaker, “bad news from the zones, tumbleweeds. it looks like jet star and the kobra kid had a clap with an exterminator that went all costa rica…”

there’s a processing silence between all of them and kobra takes a slow albeit disgusted bite of his power pup to look back at jet whose face is equally bewildered. jet says finally with a crack of a grin, “wow i had no idea you died.”

and ghoul’s sudden hysterical giggling laughter is muffled only behind the food stuffed in his mouth and poison practically spits his poor excuse for coffee across the room because honestly his brother has supposedly died a grand total of three fucking times this month and they’re keeping tally on the wall

[arttheweapon]

places fun ghoul has fallen asleep that is not a bed

the trunk of the trans am

on top of jet star’s shoulders

while making a bomb

leaning against a cactus, it took party poison three hours and a black eye to get all the little needles out

during a clap, using korse as a teddy bear

on the shelf at tommy chow mein’s, nobody noticed until show pony bought him and was about halfway home with their purchase

A Nice Surprise Pt. FUCKING 3

@dynamite-daisy

Tommy’s still not here yet, you can go back to sleep.

*it had been a while since they spoke to Tommy so he was getting a bit worried, he yawned and smiled at Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled sleepily back as she closed her eyes*

[jetstargalactica]

Sleep tight, D.

*he yawned again as his phone rang*

[dynamite-daisy]

…yep……..

[jetstargalactica]

*the number on his phone was unknown but located in the city*

Do you recognise this number, D?

[dynamite-daisy]

Uhhh…,no?…don’t think so anyway…

[jetstargalactica]

Well I sure as hell don’t.

*he declined the call and put his phone on the dashboard*

[dynamite-daisy]

…im interested now!..

[jetstargalactica]

You can answer if you really want, I’m not gonna! For all we know it could be one of those weird telemarketer people trying to sell us some shitty product.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed tiredly*

True..!

[jetstargalactica]

*the phone rang again*

Go ahead if you want. Might be a good product if it’s legit.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

I’ll pass..!

[slaughtastreak]

?: Seems like none of your ‘friends’ wanna take our call.

T: Well keep trying then!

??: Calm down, Tommy boy, you’re just gonna make this worse for yourself.

T: I just want to get my car and go home. I didn’t know this was private! I’ve never been to this part of the city before, I’m not even from here!

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy sat up tiredly, yawning as she did so*

[slaughtastreak]

??: Oh no! Tommy boy just wants to go home!

T: Just let me go.

?: Why would we do that?

[dynamite-daisy]

I wonder where he’s at..ugh

[jetstargalactica]

Maybe he’s stuck in traffic or underestimated how far away his car was.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah..guess so..

[jetstargalactica]

Give it ten minutes and if he’s still not here, we’ll call him.

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing.

[slaughtastreak]

*there was a roar of motorbike engines and the men looked at each other before running away. The only exit from the area was a gate but it was surrounded and the running men were apprehended*

T: What the fuck…?

[dynamite-daisy]

Jeez! He’s taking foreverrrrrr!

[slaughtastreak]

T: ‘Scuse me? Who are you?

*a woman walked towards him and shook his hand*

?: Carly. You alright, sir?

T: Tommy. I’m ok, thanks, who are you guys?

?: Us? We’re the Empire City Rangers.

T: So you’re real? My friend talks about you guys all the time! She thinks you’re cool.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m seriously gettin kinda worried now..aren’t we supposed to all stay together..

[jetstargalactica]

Let’s give him a call.

*Slaughta started to breathe heavily, stir and make little shrieking noises as he finished speaking*

What the fuck…?

[dynamite-daisy]

Nightmare.

*She slowly and calmly woke Slaughta up*

[slaughtastreak]

What? Is something wrong? Where’s Tommy?

[dynamite-daisy]

Not here yet. You just had a nightmare..

[slaughtastreak]

What? No, I didn’t! I was dreaming and things started coming through. Ya know how Cupcake does her mind stuff? I do the same but with feelings, remember? Tommy’s feelings came through because he was in the dream, I’ve already gone through the pair of ya.

[dynamite-daisy]

Oh…alright..?

[slaughtastreak]

You’re both worried about Tommy but I can assure ya, he’s ok. He’s been saved from something. There was pain and discomfort and now there’s relief and surprise.

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing… imma just..go back to sleep now..

[slaughtastreak]

Ok! See ya in the morning!

*she smiled, her bottle green eyes lighting up*

[dynamite-daisy]

..:Yup…

[slaughtastreak]

?: Oh, that’s nice! She from around here?

T: No, she’s originally from Battery. I think she said she was friends with someone who had relations to you guys. I’m not sure. I’m really sorry to cut things short too but I have to go, my friends will be worrying about me.

?: It’s fine, pal! We’ll deal with them two and make sure you get out of the area safely.

T: Thank you. It was a pleasure.

?: Same to you, Tommy.

*he got in his car and pulled out of yard, the others on motorbikes clearing the way for him, waved goodbye to the Rangers and cruised through the streets back to Jet and Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Within a few minutes Daisy was fast asleep again*

[slaughtastreak]

*Tommy pulled up next to them and honked his horn a few times*

T: Hey, fuckers! I'm back!

Tommy! What happened to your car?

Yeah..guess so..

[jetstargalactica]

Give it ten minutes and if he’s still not here, we’ll call him.

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing.

[slaughtastreak]

*there was a roar of motorbike engines and the men looked at each other before running away. The only exit from the area was a gate but it was surrounded and the running men were apprehended*

T: What the fuck…?

[dynamite-daisy]

Jeez! He’s taking foreverrrrrr!

[slaughtastreak]

T: 'Scuse me? Who are you?

*a woman walked towards him and shook his hand*

?: Carly. You alright, sir?

T: Tommy. I'm ok, thanks, who are you guys?

?: Us? We're the Empire City Rangers.

T: So you're real? My friend talks about you guys all the time! She thinks you're cool.

[jetstargalactica]

A Nice Surprise Pt. FUCKING 3

@dynamite-daisy

Tommy’s still not here yet, you can go back to sleep.

*it had been a while since they spoke to Tommy so he was getting a bit worried, he yawned and smiled at Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled sleepily back as she closed her eyes*

[jetstargalactica]

Sleep tight, D.

*he yawned again as his phone rang*

[dynamite-daisy]

…yep……..

[jetstargalactica]

*the number on his phone was unknown but located in the city*

Do you recognise this number, D?

[dynamite-daisy]

Uhhh…,no?…don’t think so anyway…

[jetstargalactica]

Well I sure as hell don’t.

*he declined the call and put his phone on the dashboard*

[dynamite-daisy]

…im interested now!..

[jetstargalactica]

You can answer if you really want, I’m not gonna! For all we know it could be one of those weird telemarketer people trying to sell us some shitty product.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed tiredly*

True..!

[jetstargalactica]

*the phone rang again*

Go ahead if you want. Might be a good product if it’s legit.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

I’ll pass..!

[slaughtastreak]

?: Seems like none of your ‘friends’ wanna take our call.

T: Well keep trying then!

??: Calm down, Tommy boy, you’re just gonna make this worse for yourself.

T: I just want to get my car and go home. I didn’t know this was private! I’ve never been to this part of the city before, I’m not even from here!

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy sat up tiredly, yawning as she did so*

[slaughtastreak]

??: Oh no! Tommy boy just wants to go home!

T: Just let me go.

?: Why would we do that?

[dynamite-daisy]

I wonder where he’s at..ugh

[jetstargalactica]

Maybe he’s stuck in traffic or underestimated how far away his car was.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah..guess so..

[jetstargalactica]

persistently not believing that the American South was actually real

to break an awkward silence: “last month I got murdered in a CVS”

shoving your gun down your shirt. bonus if it falls out the bottom.

fuzzy image of Jet Star kicking a motorcycle

“your tears are my cool shaded oasis”

get as far as you can through this sentence without laughing: “personally, as a straight man, I too am of the opinion that this is high treason”

anything Dr. Death-Defying says during his broadcasts, but in a Boston accent

fill in the blank: “I want to shove ___ directly down my throat”

doing kickflips without a skateboard (this is essentially the new dab)

screaming that gradually gets lower in pitch

bell bottoms

anything that Kobra Kid does, approximately 7 hours after Kobra Kid does it

A Nice Surprise Pt.2

@dynamite-daisy

*she stuck her hand out, as if for him to shake*

Hey, the name’s Slaughta Streak. I bring a new meaning for stupid and pathetic.

[dynamite-daisy]

M: I doubt that lassie!

*He placed both his huge hands around Slaughtas and shook it*

[slaughtastreak]

*she laughed*

Why are ya here then?

[dynamite-daisy]

M: New tattoo supplies for the kids!

[slaughtastreak]

Nice! I might stop by again soon.

*there was a sudden sharp pain in her left wrist and she tried not to wince*

[dynamite-daisy]

Hey, you alright? Did the fall hurt you or somethin?

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll be fine.

[dynamite-daisy]

You sure?

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll be ok, D, you don’t need to worry about me.

[dynamite-daisy]

It just looked like it hurt is all!

[slaughtastreak]

Well, yeah… But I’ll be ok.

[dynamite-daisy]

If you say so!

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll tell ya if it ends up hurting too much for me.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll hold ya to it!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok! D'ya wanna carry on now?

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing S! Where d'ya wanna go?

[slaughtastreak]

I still wanna find a jacket, preferably yellow as it’s my favourite colour.

[dynamite-daisy]

Ok! Lets go find a clothes store!

[slaughtastreak]

I might get a new shirt to dye too, I’m getting bored of the same thing, I’m just not into it anymore. I haven’t been into much lately.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well lets go find something for ya then! Come on!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok. Slowly though, my head is pounding.

[dynamite-daisy]

Alright..is something else wrong?

[slaughtastreak]

Shouldn’t be. I get these headaches all the time. They’re kinda in just part of my head, like, at the front left or right, either side or the back. I don’t know why o get them. I’ll be ok, it’s just a headache.

[dynamite-daisy]

If you say so! Come on now we need to go

[slaughtastreak]

Ok!

*she grabbed Daisy’s hand and started to walk*

[dynamite-daisy]

Sorry S but hand holding creeps me out… it’s all the sweat and stuff…it’s not personal..!

[slaughtastreak]

*she let go*

Sorry, I didn’t know.

[dynamite-daisy]

It’s fine! No big deal, honestly!

[slaughtastreak]

Daisy, I respect ya and want ya to be comfortable and happy. If ya uncomfortable, I’ll fix it. No arguments.

[dynamite-daisy]

But..

[slaughtastreak]

*she whipped around and glared at her*

No buts.

[dynamite-daisy]

Fine..! Come on lets make a move or we’ll never get good stock!

[slaughtastreak]

*she smiled, proud of herself, and continued to walk*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy kept looking out for any good shops*

[slaughtastreak]

*not realising she had lost Daisy, she found a shop that looked half decent and went in, the bell chiming as she opened the door*

?: Hey, kid! Nice to see ya! Call me if ya need anythin’

*the woman behind the counter beamed, she smiled back at her*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy followed her in with a smile*

Afternoon!

[slaughtastreak]

?: Afternoon to ya too, darlin’!

*the woman put her feet up on the counter, she whispered to Daisy*

She seems nice but really familiar.

[dynamite-daisy]

People say that a lot …!

[slaughtastreak]

What do you mean? I’ve never been in here or around the city before. There’s no way I could know her but she just seems so familiar and I can’t put my finger on it.

[dynamite-daisy]

I dunno..just a thing I guess..

[slaughtastreak]

Wait…

*she gasped*

No…

[dynamite-daisy]

What? You alright?

[slaughtastreak]

No… It can’t be…

Don’t be stupid!

It’s not her!

C’mon, kid. That’s her and ya know it. Stop being stupid.

[dynamite-daisy]

Who? What the fuck S?

[slaughtastreak]

No, no, it’s ok.

It’s ok? Really, kid?

It’s not her.

She’s not dead. She’s clearly right in front of ya! Tha-

Don’t even finish that. Just shut it!

*she realised she was speaking aloud and quickly shut her mouth, afraid of looking insane*

[dynamite-daisy]

What the fucking hell S!? Just spit it out already! Or I’ll get Cupkake and we both know she’ll find out soon enough!

[slaughtastreak]

*she turned to look at the woman, she smiled and looked on their direction, she smiled back*

I don’t know if it’s her. I want to know but then I will have done what it wants me to do.

[dynamite-daisy]

What?!

[slaughtastreak]

For fucks sake. Just tell her! She’ll find out anyway.

I don’t know for sure.

Stop. Now. Just say it! Ya driving me insane, kid! She’s not dead, that’s ya mother. She’s standing right in front of ya!

Daisy, I think, well it thinks, that woman is my… My mother.

[dynamite-daisy]

Oh……oh fuck.

[slaughtastreak]

It can’t be though! She’s dead! I saw him, he hurt her really bad and she wasn’t moving! He killed her and I was there, I saw it all! They declared her dead so there’s no way that can be her.

[dynamite-daisy]

Why not ask eh?

[slaughtastreak]

Ya don’t think that if I just go up to her and go “hey I’m crazy and my subconsciousness told me that ya my mother, wanna talk?” I’d look insane?

[dynamite-daisy]

No I mean like….just ask her name?!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok… I can do that!

*she composed herself and straightened her clothes, she put on a smile and winked at Daisy as she walked up to the counter*

?: Hey, kid, can I help ya with anythin’?

Uh, hey, this is gonna seem weird but what’s ya name? Ya seem pretty cool and ya shop is nice!

*she turned to look back at Daisy and gritted her teeth in her smile*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy gave an encouraging thumbs up*

[slaughtastreak]

?: Ya think I’m cool?

Uh huh.

*she nodded her head and the woman laughed*

?: But I’m old! I’m knocking on now.

*she chuckled again*

Really? Ya don’t seem old!

?: I’m forty-seven. And as for ya original question, my name’s Daianne.

*she gasped as the woman smiled at her*

?: Are ya ok, sweetie?

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy leaned around the corner to get a better view*

[slaughtastreak]

Uh, yeah, that’s a cool name!

D: Thanks, kid!

So, do you have any leather jackets?

D: Course we do! Any specific colour?

Yellow?

D: Sorry, sweetie, we don’t.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy quietly opened a packet of crisps while watching the conversation*

[slaughtastreak]

That’s ok, any brightly coloured shirts?

D: Yep, follow me.

*Daianne led her over to a rack full of different coloured and patterned shirts*

Thanks!

D: Call me over if ya need anything.

*she walked away and she turned to Daisy*

Really, D?

[dynamite-daisy]

What?! I’m hungry! ……..want one?

[slaughtastreak]

Not thanks.

*she giggled and started looking through the shirts*

Did ya enjoy my suffering throughout that then?

[dynamite-daisy]

Well what do you expect?! We have no tv!

[slaughtastreak]

Thanks, appreciate it. But seriously now, her name’s Daianne. That was my mum’s name. What do we do?

[dynamite-daisy]

Fuck if I know. It’s down to you S!

[slaughtastreak]

Daisy! Help me, please! This woman could be my mother! I don’t know what to do.

*she avoided Daisy’s eye contact*

I’m scared…

[dynamite-daisy]

You just gotta go for it! I can’t really do much about ya family drama by myself..

[slaughtastreak]

But I’m scared. It’s too awkward. I can’t do it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Don’t make me push ya over there!

[slaughtastreak]

Please don’t. I don’t want to say anything. What would I tell Rio, Oro and Lay? We’ve thought our mum was dead all these years.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well don’t you wanna confirm it?!? It’s one sentence S! Just do it!

[slaughtastreak]

No! I can’t. What would I do afterwards, if she is? What do I tell my brothers? Do I invite her back into our lives? Why isn’t she dead? It’s pointless. She probably faked her death to get away from us.

*she picked out a black shirt and held it up against her*

[dynamite-daisy]

Take it one fucking step at a time! Just. Go. Ask.

[slaughtastreak]

Why should I talk to her if she didn’t want us? Like I said, it’s pointless.

*she shoved the shirt back into the rack and rubbed her face*

[dynamite-daisy]

You can’t know that for sure now hurry up!

[slaughtastreak]

I’m not doing it. Let’s just get a fucking shirt and go.

*she picked up a watermelon pink shirt and took it over to the counter*

D: That’s four carbons, please.

*she handed over the money as Daianne put the shirt into a bag, she took the bag from her and walked out, not caring if Daisy was behind her or still in the shop, she broke into a sprint*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled at the woman*

I’m pretty sure that kid is ya daughter, just so you know.

[slaughtastreak]

D: My daughter? I haven’t seen my daughter in years… Any of my kids for that matter… From what I remember, she looks nothing like my daughter did. How can ya be sure? I’ve never seen that girl in my life.

[dynamite-daisy]

Do me a favour and tell me your kids names, would ya?

[slaughtastreak]

D: The oldest is Atsushi, then there’s the twins, Marcel and Nathan, and my daughter, Olivia. I have a photo of them if ya wanna see it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah….her names Olivia..

[slaughtastreak]

D: Wait… Let me get the photo.

*she disappeared through the back door and came back a minute later with a photo frame, she showed it to Daisy*

D: I feel bad… I always called the boys by their middle names because I preferred them as my husband would treat them horribly and when he shouted their names, God, it terrified me, it terrified them too.

[dynamite-daisy]

So..

*Daisy looked down at the photo*

Whats the boys first names? I’m sorry this is all so personal to you

[slaughtastreak]

D: Its fine, darling, I need to come to terms with my past and get over it.

*she pointed to the tallest boy in the photo*

D: That’s Atsushi, his actual name is Norio.

*she pointed to the twins, the shorter one first*

D: That’s Marcel, actually Layton. And that’s Orochi, not Nathan.

*she pointed at the slightly taller twin, he had lots of visible bruises and his left leg was kind of bent inwards. Even though Layton was the shorter one in the photo, he wasn’t anymore, he was actually taller than Orochi. All three of them are still taller than Slaughta*

D: And the girl is obviously Olivia. Then there’s me and Jonathan, their father.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, that girls your daughter. And the boys are round here too. Orochi’s dating one of my oldest friends funnily enough!

[slaughtastreak]

D: Really?! Is he happy? Are the others happy? Are they eating? Taking care of themselves? Please tell me things about them. I’ve missed them so much.

[dynamite-daisy]

They’re fine! You can come seem em right now if you want! I’m a little busy cuz I just got ENGAGED!! but I’ll be glad to hook y'all up again!

[slaughtastreak]

D: Oh! Congratulations! That’s amazing, sweetheart!

*she took the photo and put it in place next to the till*

D: They wouldn’t want to see me, it’s ok, just knowing they’re ok is enough for me.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m pretty sure they would!

[slaughtastreak]

D: I don’t know, but ya might wanna go after her, it’ll be hard to find her after a while, she was known around the neighbourhood for going missing a lot.

*she wrote down her number on a business card and handed it to Daisy*

D: Just in case.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll be in touch, okay?

[slaughtastreak]

D: Ok, I’ll see ya around, sweetheart! Enjoy ya day!

[dynamite-daisy]

You too!

*Daisy smiled, put some cash on her desk and briskly walked away*

[slaughtastreak]

*she called after her*

D: What’s the money for?

[dynamite-daisy]

Treat yourself!

*She waved once more*

[slaughtastreak]

D: Thanks so much!

*she waved as Daisy left*

[dynamite-daisy]

No problem!

*Daisy jogged to catch up with Slaughta*

[slaughtastreak]

*she found a new alleyway and jogged to the end of it, she sat down, legs crossed and sighed*

Why can’t ya leave me the fuck alone?

*she spoke to the voice in her head, knowing no one was around to listen to her, she waited for a reply*

Of course ya leave now. Fucking great.

[dynamite-daisy]

Hey S what’s wrong?

[slaughtastreak]

Her. She’s what’s wrong. Is she or not?

[dynamite-daisy]

She’s is.

[slaughtastreak]

Great. Just what I fucking needed.

*she rolled her eyes and brought her knees up to her chest*

[dynamite-daisy]

Well at least you know now eh?

[slaughtastreak]

I guess. What do I tell the boys?

[dynamite-daisy]

I dunno.. your choice..

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll think about it. For now, let’s carry on shopping.

*she stood up and walked back to the street*

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing….

*She followed behind quietly*

[slaughtastreak]

Where d'ya wanna go then?

[dynamite-daisy]

Dunno! Maybe we should find the guys, they’re probably wondering where we are about now.

[slaughtastreak]

Let’s go then! I’ll give Tommy a call, see where they are.

*she stopped and pulled out her phone, dialled Tommy’s number and waited for him to pick up*

T: Hey! Where you been, kid? We’ve been looking for you both!

Just getting some stuff. Where are ya? We’re gonna come back.

T: Uhh… We’re outside this place…

Helpful, Tommy.

[dynamite-daisy]

I guess he’s not being too specific?

*She giggled*

[slaughtastreak]

*she took the phone away from her ear and glared at Daisy*

Of course he’s fucking not!

T: I don’t know what this place is!

Ya can be really bloody useless, Tommy.

[dynamite-daisy]

JUST DESCRIBE IT TOMMY YA ASSHOLE!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Ok! Calm down! Uh… There’s a shop? Is that a shop? It’s called ‘Carbon Convertors’ and there’s a park with some weird statue in it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Alright..we should be able to find it!

[slaughtastreak]

Thanks, Tommy, we’re on our way.

T: See you soon, kids!

*she hung up, sighed and replaced the phone in her pocket*

[dynamite-daisy]

Come on, we better get goin!

*She started walking*

[slaughtastreak]

*she followed behind*

D'ya know where the park is? I have no idea what he was on about.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll try and make a good guess!

*She carried on and looked around for the right direction*

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll follow your lead, it mustn’t be far though, we haven’t gone that far, have we?

[dynamite-daisy]

I don’t think so? It shouldn’t be too long hopefully!

[slaughtastreak]

I wanna see what the fuck he was on about when he said there’s a weird statue.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

I bet it’ll be somethin naked !

[slaughtastreak]

Tommy wouldn’t call that weird though!

*she giggled*

He’d call something abstract weird.

[dynamite-daisy]

True….

[slaughtastreak]

He’d call anything weird, he called me weird when he first met me.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, I just hit him over the head with a shovel.

[slaughtastreak]

Wow… Aren’t ya a nice person!

[dynamite-daisy]

I thought he was breaking in! Is wasn’t gonna just stand there!

[slaughtastreak]

That’s ok. He thinks he’s a sneaky fuck but he ain’t.

[dynamite-daisy]

It was pretty damn easy to catch him

*She laughed*

[slaughtastreak]

He won’t run. Ever. He said he only will when there’s desperate measures.

*she laughed*

[dynamite-daisy]

Well he’s certainly proven that!

[slaughtastreak]

This is why he makes me collect stock and deal with deliveries. It’s organised too, if it was him, the shop would be a tip!

[dynamite-daisy]

The only thing he does is smack talk customers!

[slaughtastreak]

He’ll ring up, stock, do accounts. He does the math side of things, he tried to teach me but it didn’t work out.

[dynamite-daisy]

Somehow he’s perfectly suited to the job yet not capable at all!

[slaughtastreak]

And that, my friend, is why we call him Mr Mystery.

*she thought for a second*

Maybe he’s like a recipe. Or a machine.

[dynamite-daisy]

What d'ya mean by that?

[slaughtastreak]

Ya need all the ingredients for a recipe. If ya don’t have one, it doesn’t work. Ya can add something and make it better. Maybe even slip in a secret ingredient to give it a kick. With a machine, ya need all the parts for it to work. Maybe ya don’t know what the machine does and to find out, ya have to get it working.

*she stopped and shook her head*

It made more sense in my head, I forgot what I meant real quick.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, I see where you’re comin from!

[slaughtastreak]

Good because I had no idea what I was saying.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

Oh well!

[slaughtastreak]

How far away are we? I didn’t think we went this far.

[dynamite-daisy]

I think we should be pretty close now…

[slaughtastreak]

Nice… What time is it? I feel like I’ve been up for ages, I’m exhausted!

[dynamite-daisy]

It’s..umm…..nine ish..

[slaughtastreak]

Wow… We better hurry!

[dynamite-daisy]

Yup!

[jetstargalactica]

Where are they, Tommy? You said they were coming!

*he pulled out his phone and rang Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy jumped at the noise and picked up*

We’re trying!

[jetstargalactica]

Where did Tommy tell you we are?

[dynamite-daisy]

Statue or somethin? Not very specific

[jetstargalactica]

Fucking hell, he’s useless!

*the girls can hear Tommy shouting on the background, he rolls his eyes*

I’ll send you our exact location. Saying a statue in a city like this is stupid.

[dynamite-daisy]

*she laughed* Alright, we got no other place to be!

[jetstargalactica]

See you soon!

*he hung up and sent their location*

Tommy! What are you doing?! Get down! I don’t want us to end up in ER!

[dynamite-daisy]

Ok S, turns out it’s a few minutes in the OTHER direction!

[slaughtastreak]

But we’ve just come from that way?

[dynamite-daisy]

Must’ve missed it!

[slaughtastreak]

I swear, when we get there I’m gonna rip Tommy’s limbs from his torso, the useless piece of shit.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy laughed* Fuckin hell S!

[slaughtastreak]

What? He doesn’t use them! And he isn’t anytime soon!

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy sniggered*

Come on, they’re just round the corner!

[slaughtastreak]

Good! I can hurt him faster!

[dynamite-daisy]

S GEEZ!

*She laughed again*

[slaughtastreak]

Are ya telling me ya don’t wanna do that? Who are ya?!

[dynamite-daisy]

I never said I didn’t !

[slaughtastreak]

*she laughed*

C'mon, let’s get to ‘em!

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m going I’m going!

[slaughtastreak]

*they went around the corner and saw a park, there was a children’s area with a climbing frame and benches, a picnic area, some fountains and a statue of a family. At the top of the climbing frame was Tommy Chow Mein, Jet was no where to be seen as the park was surrounded by hedges*

I think we found them.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy climbed up to the top in a flash and joined Tommy*

Yo!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Hey Daisy! Hey Slaughta!

I hate ya.

T: Love you too.

*she sat on the bench next to Jet and slowly leant on him*

T: What’ve you two been up to then?

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled down at Jet and swung her legs too and fro*

Eh nothin much

[slaughtastreak]

How’s she?

*he gestured to Slaughta, asleep on Jet’s shoulder*

You taken good care of her?

[dynamite-daisy]

Well she ain’t dead is she!

[slaughtastreak]

T: I see that. But is she hurt? She doesn’t look like she’s sleeping well.

[dynamite-daisy]

She’s just stressed, do me a favour and don’t talk to her ‘bout it alright?

[slaughtastreak]

T: Ok. What about yourself then? How are you? You enjoyed your time here? You excited?

[dynamite-daisy]

Geez Tom I can barely contain myself! But y'know there’s always those…little butterflies..

[slaughtastreak]

T: I’m happy for you, kiddo. It’s not always easy to find someone who loves you, I should know, I’m happy you found that person. You know what you’re doing. Don’t tell Slaughta but Kobra likes her and he won’t do anything. I want them to get together because it’s so obvious they like each other. They seem so right together. She doesn’t know she’s found the right guy and he’s staring her in the face.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah…that’s life I guess…

[slaughtastreak]

T: I care for the kid, I don’t want her to make the same mistake I did. I regret it everyday. Don’t be oblivious to them when they’re right in front of you.

*he paused, groaned and sighed*

T: I’m glad you and Jet didn’t ignore it. When you feel it, don’t ignore it because when you lose them, it might be gone forever. I treat and look after her as if she’s my own daughter, what I always wanted, and I don’t want her to make this mistake.

*he paused again*

T: Sorry, Daisy, I’m rambling, I’ll stop now.

[dynamite-daisy]

Nah it’s fine, I like rambling..

*She squeezed Tommys hand*

[slaughtastreak]

T: Thanks, Daisy…

*he smiled and looked up at the clear night sky*

T: I’d like to think that they’re up there somewhere.

[dynamite-daisy]

Don’t we all…

[slaughtastreak]

T: If it’s not too personal or upsetting, do you wanna share? If you want to get anything off your chest, I’ll listen.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh..it’s just family, ya miss em sometimes..

[slaughtastreak]

T: Yeah, it can be difficult sometimes, I miss my family too.

[dynamite-daisy]

It sure can…

[slaughtastreak]

T: But like it is with everything in the Zones nowadays, you have to power through it. It gets easier after time though, kid, believe me.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, an time’s never on our side is it…!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Definitely not. Everything’s rushed out there.

[dynamite-daisy]

Always….

[slaughtastreak]

T: Things will start to look up, kiddo. You’ll notice. The sky will be bluer, the sand… Grainier? The flowers, brighter. And they definitely are going to, Daisy. I can see it.

*he put his arm around her gently*

T: Trust me.

*he let go and climbed down, heading off through the park*

[dynamite-daisy]

*She smiled and jumped down, picking up a blade of brown grass and winding it between her fingers*

….the grass will be greener..the sky will be bluer…

[jetstargalactica]

*he had his arm around Slaughta as she slept on his shoulder*

You alright, Daisy? You look a bit lost.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, just tired is all! You ok?

*She kissed him on the forehead*

[jetstargalactica]

I’m good, thanks. We should head home, it’s getting late.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, good idea!

[jetstargalactica]

*he picked Slaughta up and slung her over his shoulder as he stood up*

Where’d Tommy go?

[dynamite-daisy]

Went on ahead I think? We’ll catch up!

[jetstargalactica]

Ok then! Let’s be careful not to wake this one up.

*he smiled and they walked out of the park*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy wrapped her arm in Jets as they walked*

[jetstargalactica]

Is there anything you want to do before we leave? We can get food if you’re hungry?

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m shiny if you are!

[jetstargalactica]

There’s the leftovers from the picnic, so that should be enough if we want something on the way back.

[dynamite-daisy]

Totally! It was brilliant, thank you

[jetstargalactica]

No problem, it’s the least I could do for a special girl! Do you remember where we parked?

[dynamite-daisy]

Shouldn’t be too far..somewhere over there?

*She pointed*

[jetstargalactica]

Let’s head that way then!

*he walked in the direction she pointed*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy messed with the ring on her finger happily, but with that common touch of nervousness*

[jetstargalactica]

You ok? Is something wrong? Who do I have to beat up? I bet it’s Tommy. Fucking piece of shit.

[dynamite-daisy]

Calm down jackass!

*She laughed*

It’s nothing..! I just haven’t slept well lately..

[jetstargalactica]

Well as soon as we get to the car, you can sleep for as long as you like. I’d carry you but this one’s out as if she’s dead when she’s sleeping so there’s no chance of waking her.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well to be honest I’m a fuckin brick when I’m asleep and you should know!

[jetstargalactica]

No wonder you two get on so well.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yep! Couldn’t live without the little bastard!

[jetstargalactica]

The perfect way to describe her.

*he chuckled*

[dynamite-daisy]

Totally!

*they carried on walking*

[jetstargalactica]

I wonder what life would be like if she had never come to the diner.

*he spotted the car and jogged slowly up to it, unlocking it and opening the door for Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*She smile and slouched into a seat*

[jetstargalactica]

*he shut the door behind her and plopped Slaughta down on the back seat, he strapped her in and got in the driver’s seat*

What the fuck is Tommy up to now?

[dynamite-daisy]

Who knows! Guess we’ll just have to wait?

[slaughtastreak]

T: Guys?! Where are you?! Hello?!

*he stood in the park, looking around, he pulled out his phone and checked for any messages. He decided to call Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy heard her phone vibrating and picked it up*

Yo!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Where’d you go?

*he sounded sad*

T: I can’t find you guys anywhere.

[dynamite-daisy]

Dude are you high or something? We’re in the damn car right where we left it!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Slaughta and I didn’t come with you and Jet, I’ll find my car and meet you guys somewhere if I can?

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure, we’re near the old school

[slaughtastreak]

Ok, I'll meet you there as soon as I can, bye, Daisy!

*he hung up and started walking*

[slaughtastreak]

A Nice Surprise Pt.2

@dynamite-daisy

*she stuck her hand out, as if for him to shake*

Hey, the name’s Slaughta Streak. I bring a new meaning for stupid and pathetic.

[dynamite-daisy]

M: I doubt that lassie!

*He placed both his huge hands around Slaughtas and shook it*

[slaughtastreak]

*she laughed*

Why are ya here then?

[dynamite-daisy]

M: New tattoo supplies for the kids!

[slaughtastreak]

Nice! I might stop by again soon.

*there was a sudden sharp pain in her left wrist and she tried not to wince*

[dynamite-daisy]

Hey, you alright? Did the fall hurt you or somethin?

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll be fine.

[dynamite-daisy]

You sure?

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll be ok, D, you don’t need to worry about me.

[dynamite-daisy]

It just looked like it hurt is all!

[slaughtastreak]

Well, yeah… But I’ll be ok.

[dynamite-daisy]

If you say so!

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll tell ya if it ends up hurting too much for me.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll hold ya to it!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok! D'ya wanna carry on now?

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing S! Where d'ya wanna go?

[slaughtastreak]

I still wanna find a jacket, preferably yellow as it’s my favourite colour.

[dynamite-daisy]

Ok! Lets go find a clothes store!

[slaughtastreak]

I might get a new shirt to dye too, I’m getting bored of the same thing, I’m just not into it anymore. I haven’t been into much lately.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well lets go find something for ya then! Come on!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok. Slowly though, my head is pounding.

[dynamite-daisy]

Alright..is something else wrong?

[slaughtastreak]

Shouldn’t be. I get these headaches all the time. They’re kinda in just part of my head, like, at the front left or right, either side or the back. I don’t know why o get them. I’ll be ok, it’s just a headache.

[dynamite-daisy]

If you say so! Come on now we need to go

[slaughtastreak]

Ok!

*she grabbed Daisy’s hand and started to walk*

[dynamite-daisy]

Sorry S but hand holding creeps me out… it’s all the sweat and stuff…it’s not personal..!

[slaughtastreak]

*she let go*

Sorry, I didn’t know.

[dynamite-daisy]

It’s fine! No big deal, honestly!

[slaughtastreak]

Daisy, I respect ya and want ya to be comfortable and happy. If ya uncomfortable, I’ll fix it. No arguments.

[dynamite-daisy]

But..

[slaughtastreak]

*she whipped around and glared at her*

No buts.

[dynamite-daisy]

Fine..! Come on lets make a move or we’ll never get good stock!

[slaughtastreak]

*she smiled, proud of herself, and continued to walk*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy kept looking out for any good shops*

[slaughtastreak]

*not realising she had lost Daisy, she found a shop that looked half decent and went in, the bell chiming as she opened the door*

?: Hey, kid! Nice to see ya! Call me if ya need anythin’

*the woman behind the counter beamed, she smiled back at her*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy followed her in with a smile*

Afternoon!

[slaughtastreak]

?: Afternoon to ya too, darlin’!

*the woman put her feet up on the counter, she whispered to Daisy*

She seems nice but really familiar.

[dynamite-daisy]

People say that a lot …!

[slaughtastreak]

What do you mean? I’ve never been in here or around the city before. There’s no way I could know her but she just seems so familiar and I can’t put my finger on it.

[dynamite-daisy]

I dunno..just a thing I guess..

[slaughtastreak]

Wait…

*she gasped*

No…

[dynamite-daisy]

What? You alright?

[slaughtastreak]

No… It can’t be…

Don’t be stupid!

It’s not her!

C’mon, kid. That’s her and ya know it. Stop being stupid.

[dynamite-daisy]

Who? What the fuck S?

[slaughtastreak]

No, no, it’s ok.

It’s ok? Really, kid?

It’s not her.

She’s not dead. She’s clearly right in front of ya! Tha-

Don’t even finish that. Just shut it!

*she realised she was speaking aloud and quickly shut her mouth, afraid of looking insane*

[dynamite-daisy]

What the fucking hell S!? Just spit it out already! Or I’ll get Cupkake and we both know she’ll find out soon enough!

[slaughtastreak]

*she turned to look at the woman, she smiled and looked on their direction, she smiled back*

I don’t know if it’s her. I want to know but then I will have done what it wants me to do.

[dynamite-daisy]

What?!

[slaughtastreak]

For fucks sake. Just tell her! She’ll find out anyway.

I don’t know for sure.

Stop. Now. Just say it! Ya driving me insane, kid! She’s not dead, that’s ya mother. She’s standing right in front of ya!

Daisy, I think, well it thinks, that woman is my… My mother.

[dynamite-daisy]

Oh……oh fuck.

[slaughtastreak]

It can’t be though! She’s dead! I saw him, he hurt her really bad and she wasn’t moving! He killed her and I was there, I saw it all! They declared her dead so there’s no way that can be her.

[dynamite-daisy]

Why not ask eh?

[slaughtastreak]

Ya don’t think that if I just go up to her and go “hey I’m crazy and my subconsciousness told me that ya my mother, wanna talk?” I’d look insane?

[dynamite-daisy]

No I mean like….just ask her name?!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok… I can do that!

*she composed herself and straightened her clothes, she put on a smile and winked at Daisy as she walked up to the counter*

?: Hey, kid, can I help ya with anythin’?

Uh, hey, this is gonna seem weird but what’s ya name? Ya seem pretty cool and ya shop is nice!

*she turned to look back at Daisy and gritted her teeth in her smile*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy gave an encouraging thumbs up*

[slaughtastreak]

?: Ya think I’m cool?

Uh huh.

*she nodded her head and the woman laughed*

?: But I’m old! I’m knocking on now.

*she chuckled again*

Really? Ya don’t seem old!

?: I’m forty-seven. And as for ya original question, my name’s Daianne.

*she gasped as the woman smiled at her*

?: Are ya ok, sweetie?

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy leaned around the corner to get a better view*

[slaughtastreak]

Uh, yeah, that’s a cool name!

D: Thanks, kid!

So, do you have any leather jackets?

D: Course we do! Any specific colour?

Yellow?

D: Sorry, sweetie, we don’t.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy quietly opened a packet of crisps while watching the conversation*

[slaughtastreak]

That’s ok, any brightly coloured shirts?

D: Yep, follow me.

*Daianne led her over to a rack full of different coloured and patterned shirts*

Thanks!

D: Call me over if ya need anything.

*she walked away and she turned to Daisy*

Really, D?

[dynamite-daisy]

What?! I’m hungry! ……..want one?

[slaughtastreak]

Not thanks.

*she giggled and started looking through the shirts*

Did ya enjoy my suffering throughout that then?

[dynamite-daisy]

Well what do you expect?! We have no tv!

[slaughtastreak]

Thanks, appreciate it. But seriously now, her name’s Daianne. That was my mum’s name. What do we do?

[dynamite-daisy]

Fuck if I know. It’s down to you S!

[slaughtastreak]

Daisy! Help me, please! This woman could be my mother! I don’t know what to do.

*she avoided Daisy’s eye contact*

I’m scared…

[dynamite-daisy]

You just gotta go for it! I can’t really do much about ya family drama by myself..

[slaughtastreak]

But I’m scared. It’s too awkward. I can’t do it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Don’t make me push ya over there!

[slaughtastreak]

Please don’t. I don’t want to say anything. What would I tell Rio, Oro and Lay? We’ve thought our mum was dead all these years.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well don’t you wanna confirm it?!? It’s one sentence S! Just do it!

[slaughtastreak]

No! I can’t. What would I do afterwards, if she is? What do I tell my brothers? Do I invite her back into our lives? Why isn’t she dead? It’s pointless. She probably faked her death to get away from us.

*she picked out a black shirt and held it up against her*

[dynamite-daisy]

Take it one fucking step at a time! Just. Go. Ask.

[slaughtastreak]

Why should I talk to her if she didn’t want us? Like I said, it’s pointless.

*she shoved the shirt back into the rack and rubbed her face*

[dynamite-daisy]

You can’t know that for sure now hurry up!

[slaughtastreak]

I’m not doing it. Let’s just get a fucking shirt and go.

*she picked up a watermelon pink shirt and took it over to the counter*

D: That’s four carbons, please.

*she handed over the money as Daianne put the shirt into a bag, she took the bag from her and walked out, not caring if Daisy was behind her or still in the shop, she broke into a sprint*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled at the woman*

I’m pretty sure that kid is ya daughter, just so you know.

[slaughtastreak]

D: My daughter? I haven’t seen my daughter in years… Any of my kids for that matter… From what I remember, she looks nothing like my daughter did. How can ya be sure? I’ve never seen that girl in my life.

[dynamite-daisy]

Do me a favour and tell me your kids names, would ya?

[slaughtastreak]

D: The oldest is Atsushi, then there’s the twins, Marcel and Nathan, and my daughter, Olivia. I have a photo of them if ya wanna see it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah….her names Olivia..

[slaughtastreak]

D: Wait… Let me get the photo.

*she disappeared through the back door and came back a minute later with a photo frame, she showed it to Daisy*

D: I feel bad… I always called the boys by their middle names because I preferred them as my husband would treat them horribly and when he shouted their names, God, it terrified me, it terrified them too.

[dynamite-daisy]

So..

*Daisy looked down at the photo*

Whats the boys first names? I’m sorry this is all so personal to you

[slaughtastreak]

D: Its fine, darling, I need to come to terms with my past and get over it.

*she pointed to the tallest boy in the photo*

D: That’s Atsushi, his actual name is Norio.

*she pointed to the twins, the shorter one first*

D: That’s Marcel, actually Layton. And that’s Orochi, not Nathan.

*she pointed at the slightly taller twin, he had lots of visible bruises and his left leg was kind of bent inwards. Even though Layton was the shorter one in the photo, he wasn’t anymore, he was actually taller than Orochi. All three of them are still taller than Slaughta*

D: And the girl is obviously Olivia. Then there’s me and Jonathan, their father.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, that girls your daughter. And the boys are round here too. Orochi’s dating one of my oldest friends funnily enough!

[slaughtastreak]

D: Really?! Is he happy? Are the others happy? Are they eating? Taking care of themselves? Please tell me things about them. I’ve missed them so much.

[dynamite-daisy]

They’re fine! You can come seem em right now if you want! I’m a little busy cuz I just got ENGAGED!! but I’ll be glad to hook y'all up again!

[slaughtastreak]

D: Oh! Congratulations! That’s amazing, sweetheart!

*she took the photo and put it in place next to the till*

D: They wouldn’t want to see me, it’s ok, just knowing they’re ok is enough for me.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m pretty sure they would!

[slaughtastreak]

D: I don’t know, but ya might wanna go after her, it’ll be hard to find her after a while, she was known around the neighbourhood for going missing a lot.

*she wrote down her number on a business card and handed it to Daisy*

D: Just in case.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll be in touch, okay?

[slaughtastreak]

D: Ok, I’ll see ya around, sweetheart! Enjoy ya day!

[dynamite-daisy]

You too!

*Daisy smiled, put some cash on her desk and briskly walked away*

[slaughtastreak]

*she called after her*

D: What’s the money for?

[dynamite-daisy]

Treat yourself!

*She waved once more*

[slaughtastreak]

D: Thanks so much!

*she waved as Daisy left*

[dynamite-daisy]

No problem!

*Daisy jogged to catch up with Slaughta*

[slaughtastreak]

*she found a new alleyway and jogged to the end of it, she sat down, legs crossed and sighed*

Why can’t ya leave me the fuck alone?

*she spoke to the voice in her head, knowing no one was around to listen to her, she waited for a reply*

Of course ya leave now. Fucking great.

[dynamite-daisy]

Hey S what’s wrong?

[slaughtastreak]

Her. She’s what’s wrong. Is she or not?

[dynamite-daisy]

She’s is.

[slaughtastreak]

Great. Just what I fucking needed.

*she rolled her eyes and brought her knees up to her chest*

[dynamite-daisy]

Well at least you know now eh?

[slaughtastreak]

I guess. What do I tell the boys?

[dynamite-daisy]

I dunno.. your choice..

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll think about it. For now, let’s carry on shopping.

*she stood up and walked back to the street*

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing….

*She followed behind quietly*

[slaughtastreak]

Where d'ya wanna go then?

[dynamite-daisy]

Dunno! Maybe we should find the guys, they’re probably wondering where we are about now.

[slaughtastreak]

Let’s go then! I’ll give Tommy a call, see where they are.

*she stopped and pulled out her phone, dialled Tommy’s number and waited for him to pick up*

T: Hey! Where you been, kid? We’ve been looking for you both!

Just getting some stuff. Where are ya? We’re gonna come back.

T: Uhh… We’re outside this place…

Helpful, Tommy.

[dynamite-daisy]

I guess he’s not being too specific?

*She giggled*

[slaughtastreak]

*she took the phone away from her ear and glared at Daisy*

Of course he’s fucking not!

T: I don’t know what this place is!

Ya can be really bloody useless, Tommy.

[dynamite-daisy]

JUST DESCRIBE IT TOMMY YA ASSHOLE!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Ok! Calm down! Uh… There’s a shop? Is that a shop? It’s called ‘Carbon Convertors’ and there’s a park with some weird statue in it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Alright..we should be able to find it!

[slaughtastreak]

Thanks, Tommy, we’re on our way.

T: See you soon, kids!

*she hung up, sighed and replaced the phone in her pocket*

[dynamite-daisy]

Come on, we better get goin!

*She started walking*

[slaughtastreak]

*she followed behind*

D'ya know where the park is? I have no idea what he was on about.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll try and make a good guess!

*She carried on and looked around for the right direction*

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll follow your lead, it mustn’t be far though, we haven’t gone that far, have we?

[dynamite-daisy]

I don’t think so? It shouldn’t be too long hopefully!

[slaughtastreak]

I wanna see what the fuck he was on about when he said there’s a weird statue.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

I bet it’ll be somethin naked !

[slaughtastreak]

Tommy wouldn’t call that weird though!

*she giggled*

He’d call something abstract weird.

[dynamite-daisy]

True….

[slaughtastreak]

He’d call anything weird, he called me weird when he first met me.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, I just hit him over the head with a shovel.

[slaughtastreak]

Wow… Aren’t ya a nice person!

[dynamite-daisy]

I thought he was breaking in! Is wasn’t gonna just stand there!

[slaughtastreak]

That’s ok. He thinks he’s a sneaky fuck but he ain’t.

[dynamite-daisy]

It was pretty damn easy to catch him

*She laughed*

[slaughtastreak]

He won’t run. Ever. He said he only will when there’s desperate measures.

*she laughed*

[dynamite-daisy]

Well he’s certainly proven that!

[slaughtastreak]

This is why he makes me collect stock and deal with deliveries. It’s organised too, if it was him, the shop would be a tip!

[dynamite-daisy]

The only thing he does is smack talk customers!

[slaughtastreak]

He’ll ring up, stock, do accounts. He does the math side of things, he tried to teach me but it didn’t work out.

[dynamite-daisy]

Somehow he’s perfectly suited to the job yet not capable at all!

[slaughtastreak]

And that, my friend, is why we call him Mr Mystery.

*she thought for a second*

Maybe he’s like a recipe. Or a machine.

[dynamite-daisy]

What d'ya mean by that?

[slaughtastreak]

Ya need all the ingredients for a recipe. If ya don’t have one, it doesn’t work. Ya can add something and make it better. Maybe even slip in a secret ingredient to give it a kick. With a machine, ya need all the parts for it to work. Maybe ya don’t know what the machine does and to find out, ya have to get it working.

*she stopped and shook her head*

It made more sense in my head, I forgot what I meant real quick.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, I see where you’re comin from!

[slaughtastreak]

Good because I had no idea what I was saying.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

Oh well!

[slaughtastreak]

How far away are we? I didn’t think we went this far.

[dynamite-daisy]

I think we should be pretty close now…

[slaughtastreak]

Nice… What time is it? I feel like I’ve been up for ages, I’m exhausted!

[dynamite-daisy]

It’s..umm…..nine ish..

[slaughtastreak]

Wow… We better hurry!

[dynamite-daisy]

Yup!

[jetstargalactica]

Where are they, Tommy? You said they were coming!

*he pulled out his phone and rang Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy jumped at the noise and picked up*

We’re trying!

[jetstargalactica]

Where did Tommy tell you we are?

[dynamite-daisy]

Statue or somethin? Not very specific

[jetstargalactica]

Fucking hell, he’s useless!

*the girls can hear Tommy shouting on the background, he rolls his eyes*

I’ll send you our exact location. Saying a statue in a city like this is stupid.

[dynamite-daisy]

*she laughed* Alright, we got no other place to be!

[jetstargalactica]

See you soon!

*he hung up and sent their location*

Tommy! What are you doing?! Get down! I don’t want us to end up in ER!

[dynamite-daisy]

Ok S, turns out it’s a few minutes in the OTHER direction!

[slaughtastreak]

But we’ve just come from that way?

[dynamite-daisy]

Must’ve missed it!

[slaughtastreak]

I swear, when we get there I’m gonna rip Tommy’s limbs from his torso, the useless piece of shit.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy laughed* Fuckin hell S!

[slaughtastreak]

What? He doesn’t use them! And he isn’t anytime soon!

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy sniggered*

Come on, they’re just round the corner!

[slaughtastreak]

Good! I can hurt him faster!

[dynamite-daisy]

S GEEZ!

*She laughed again*

[slaughtastreak]

Are ya telling me ya don’t wanna do that? Who are ya?!

[dynamite-daisy]

I never said I didn’t !

[slaughtastreak]

*she laughed*

C'mon, let’s get to ‘em!

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m going I’m going!

[slaughtastreak]

*they went around the corner and saw a park, there was a children’s area with a climbing frame and benches, a picnic area, some fountains and a statue of a family. At the top of the climbing frame was Tommy Chow Mein, Jet was no where to be seen as the park was surrounded by hedges*

I think we found them.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy climbed up to the top in a flash and joined Tommy*

Yo!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Hey Daisy! Hey Slaughta!

I hate ya.

T: Love you too.

*she sat on the bench next to Jet and slowly leant on him*

T: What’ve you two been up to then?

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled down at Jet and swung her legs too and fro*

Eh nothin much

[slaughtastreak]

How’s she?

*he gestured to Slaughta, asleep on Jet’s shoulder*

You taken good care of her?

[dynamite-daisy]

Well she ain’t dead is she!

[slaughtastreak]

T: I see that. But is she hurt? She doesn’t look like she’s sleeping well.

[dynamite-daisy]

She’s just stressed, do me a favour and don’t talk to her ‘bout it alright?

[slaughtastreak]

T: Ok. What about yourself then? How are you? You enjoyed your time here? You excited?

[dynamite-daisy]

Geez Tom I can barely contain myself! But y'know there’s always those…little butterflies..

[slaughtastreak]

T: I’m happy for you, kiddo. It’s not always easy to find someone who loves you, I should know, I’m happy you found that person. You know what you’re doing. Don’t tell Slaughta but Kobra likes her and he won’t do anything. I want them to get together because it’s so obvious they like each other. They seem so right together. She doesn’t know she’s found the right guy and he’s staring her in the face.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah…that’s life I guess…

[slaughtastreak]

T: I care for the kid, I don’t want her to make the same mistake I did. I regret it everyday. Don’t be oblivious to them when they’re right in front of you.

*he paused, groaned and sighed*

T: I’m glad you and Jet didn’t ignore it. When you feel it, don’t ignore it because when you lose them, it might be gone forever. I treat and look after her as if she’s my own daughter, what I always wanted, and I don’t want her to make this mistake.

*he paused again*

T: Sorry, Daisy, I’m rambling, I’ll stop now.

[dynamite-daisy]

Nah it’s fine, I like rambling..

*She squeezed Tommys hand*

[slaughtastreak]

T: Thanks, Daisy…

*he smiled and looked up at the clear night sky*

T: I’d like to think that they’re up there somewhere.

[dynamite-daisy]

Don’t we all…

[slaughtastreak]

T: If it’s not too personal or upsetting, do you wanna share? If you want to get anything off your chest, I’ll listen.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh..it’s just family, ya miss em sometimes..

[slaughtastreak]

T: Yeah, it can be difficult sometimes, I miss my family too.

[dynamite-daisy]

It sure can…

[slaughtastreak]

T: But like it is with everything in the Zones nowadays, you have to power through it. It gets easier after time though, kid, believe me.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, an time’s never on our side is it…!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Definitely not. Everything’s rushed out there.

[dynamite-daisy]

Always….

[slaughtastreak]

T: Things will start to look up, kiddo. You’ll notice. The sky will be bluer, the sand… Grainier? The flowers, brighter. And they definitely are going to, Daisy. I can see it.

*he put his arm around her gently*

T: Trust me.

*he let go and climbed down, heading off through the park*

[dynamite-daisy]

*She smiled and jumped down, picking up a blade of brown grass and winding it between her fingers*

….the grass will be greener..the sky will be bluer…

[jetstargalactica]

*he had his arm around Slaughta as she slept on his shoulder*

You alright, Daisy? You look a bit lost.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, just tired is all! You ok?

*She kissed him on the forehead*

[jetstargalactica]

I’m good, thanks. We should head home, it’s getting late.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, good idea!

[jetstargalactica]

*he picked Slaughta up and slung her over his shoulder as he stood up*

Where’d Tommy go?

[dynamite-daisy]

Went on ahead I think? We’ll catch up!

[jetstargalactica]

Ok then! Let’s be careful not to wake this one up.

*he smiled and they walked out of the park*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy wrapped her arm in Jets as they walked*

[jetstargalactica]

Is there anything you want to do before we leave? We can get food if you’re hungry?

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m shiny if you are!

[jetstargalactica]

There’s the leftovers from the picnic, so that should be enough if we want something on the way back.

[dynamite-daisy]

Totally! It was brilliant, thank you

[jetstargalactica]

No problem, it’s the least I could do for a special girl! Do you remember where we parked?

[dynamite-daisy]

Shouldn’t be too far..somewhere over there?

*She pointed*

[jetstargalactica]

Let’s head that way then!

*he walked in the direction she pointed*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy messed with the ring on her finger happily, but with that common touch of nervousness*

[jetstargalactica]

You ok? Is something wrong? Who do I have to beat up? I bet it’s Tommy. Fucking piece of shit.

[dynamite-daisy]

Calm down jackass!

*She laughed*

It’s nothing..! I just haven’t slept well lately..

[jetstargalactica]

Well as soon as we get to the car, you can sleep for as long as you like. I’d carry you but this one’s out as if she’s dead when she’s sleeping so there’s no chance of waking her.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well to be honest I’m a fuckin brick when I’m asleep and you should know!

[jetstargalactica]

No wonder you two get on so well.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yep! Couldn’t live without the little bastard!

[jetstargalactica]

The perfect way to describe her.

*he chuckled*

[dynamite-daisy]

Totally!

*they carried on walking*

[jetstargalactica]

I wonder what life would be like if she had never come to the diner.

*he spotted the car and jogged slowly up to it, unlocking it and opening the door for Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*She smile and slouched into a seat*

[jetstargalactica]

*he shut the door behind her and plopped Slaughta down on the back seat, he strapped her in and got in the driver’s seat*

What the fuck is Tommy up to now?

[dynamite-daisy]

Who knows! Guess we’ll just have to wait?

[slaughtastreak]

T: Guys?! Where are you?! Hello?!

*he stood in the park, looking around, he pulled out his phone and checked for any messages. He decided to call Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy heard her phone vibrating and picked it up*

Yo!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Where’d you go?

*he sounded sad*

T: I can’t find you guys anywhere.

[dynamite-daisy]

Dude are you high or something? We’re in the damn car right where we left it!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Slaughta and I didn't come with you and Jet, I'll find my car and meet you guys somewhere if I can?

[slaughtastreak]

A Nice Surprise Pt.2

@dynamite-daisy

*she stuck her hand out, as if for him to shake*

Hey, the name’s Slaughta Streak. I bring a new meaning for stupid and pathetic.

[dynamite-daisy]

M: I doubt that lassie!

*He placed both his huge hands around Slaughtas and shook it*

[slaughtastreak]

*she laughed*

Why are ya here then?

[dynamite-daisy]

M: New tattoo supplies for the kids!

[slaughtastreak]

Nice! I might stop by again soon.

*there was a sudden sharp pain in her left wrist and she tried not to wince*

[dynamite-daisy]

Hey, you alright? Did the fall hurt you or somethin?

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll be fine.

[dynamite-daisy]

You sure?

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll be ok, D, you don’t need to worry about me.

[dynamite-daisy]

It just looked like it hurt is all!

[slaughtastreak]

Well, yeah… But I’ll be ok.

[dynamite-daisy]

If you say so!

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll tell ya if it ends up hurting too much for me.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll hold ya to it!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok! D'ya wanna carry on now?

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing S! Where d'ya wanna go?

[slaughtastreak]

I still wanna find a jacket, preferably yellow as it’s my favourite colour.

[dynamite-daisy]

Ok! Lets go find a clothes store!

[slaughtastreak]

I might get a new shirt to dye too, I’m getting bored of the same thing, I’m just not into it anymore. I haven’t been into much lately.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well lets go find something for ya then! Come on!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok. Slowly though, my head is pounding.

[dynamite-daisy]

Alright..is something else wrong?

[slaughtastreak]

Shouldn’t be. I get these headaches all the time. They’re kinda in just part of my head, like, at the front left or right, either side or the back. I don’t know why o get them. I’ll be ok, it’s just a headache.

[dynamite-daisy]

If you say so! Come on now we need to go

[slaughtastreak]

Ok!

*she grabbed Daisy’s hand and started to walk*

[dynamite-daisy]

Sorry S but hand holding creeps me out… it’s all the sweat and stuff…it’s not personal..!

[slaughtastreak]

*she let go*

Sorry, I didn’t know.

[dynamite-daisy]

It’s fine! No big deal, honestly!

[slaughtastreak]

Daisy, I respect ya and want ya to be comfortable and happy. If ya uncomfortable, I’ll fix it. No arguments.

[dynamite-daisy]

But..

[slaughtastreak]

*she whipped around and glared at her*

No buts.

[dynamite-daisy]

Fine..! Come on lets make a move or we’ll never get good stock!

[slaughtastreak]

*she smiled, proud of herself, and continued to walk*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy kept looking out for any good shops*

[slaughtastreak]

*not realising she had lost Daisy, she found a shop that looked half decent and went in, the bell chiming as she opened the door*

?: Hey, kid! Nice to see ya! Call me if ya need anythin’

*the woman behind the counter beamed, she smiled back at her*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy followed her in with a smile*

Afternoon!

[slaughtastreak]

?: Afternoon to ya too, darlin’!

*the woman put her feet up on the counter, she whispered to Daisy*

She seems nice but really familiar.

[dynamite-daisy]

People say that a lot …!

[slaughtastreak]

What do you mean? I’ve never been in here or around the city before. There’s no way I could know her but she just seems so familiar and I can’t put my finger on it.

[dynamite-daisy]

I dunno..just a thing I guess..

[slaughtastreak]

Wait…

*she gasped*

No…

[dynamite-daisy]

What? You alright?

[slaughtastreak]

No… It can’t be…

Don’t be stupid!

It’s not her!

C’mon, kid. That’s her and ya know it. Stop being stupid.

[dynamite-daisy]

Who? What the fuck S?

[slaughtastreak]

No, no, it’s ok.

It’s ok? Really, kid?

It’s not her.

She’s not dead. She’s clearly right in front of ya! Tha-

Don’t even finish that. Just shut it!

*she realised she was speaking aloud and quickly shut her mouth, afraid of looking insane*

[dynamite-daisy]

What the fucking hell S!? Just spit it out already! Or I’ll get Cupkake and we both know she’ll find out soon enough!

[slaughtastreak]

*she turned to look at the woman, she smiled and looked on their direction, she smiled back*

I don’t know if it’s her. I want to know but then I will have done what it wants me to do.

[dynamite-daisy]

What?!

[slaughtastreak]

For fucks sake. Just tell her! She’ll find out anyway.

I don’t know for sure.

Stop. Now. Just say it! Ya driving me insane, kid! She’s not dead, that’s ya mother. She’s standing right in front of ya!

Daisy, I think, well it thinks, that woman is my… My mother.

[dynamite-daisy]

Oh……oh fuck.

[slaughtastreak]

It can’t be though! She’s dead! I saw him, he hurt her really bad and she wasn’t moving! He killed her and I was there, I saw it all! They declared her dead so there’s no way that can be her.

[dynamite-daisy]

Why not ask eh?

[slaughtastreak]

Ya don’t think that if I just go up to her and go “hey I’m crazy and my subconsciousness told me that ya my mother, wanna talk?” I’d look insane?

[dynamite-daisy]

No I mean like….just ask her name?!

[slaughtastreak]

Ok… I can do that!

*she composed herself and straightened her clothes, she put on a smile and winked at Daisy as she walked up to the counter*

?: Hey, kid, can I help ya with anythin’?

Uh, hey, this is gonna seem weird but what’s ya name? Ya seem pretty cool and ya shop is nice!

*she turned to look back at Daisy and gritted her teeth in her smile*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy gave an encouraging thumbs up*

[slaughtastreak]

?: Ya think I’m cool?

Uh huh.

*she nodded her head and the woman laughed*

?: But I’m old! I’m knocking on now.

*she chuckled again*

Really? Ya don’t seem old!

?: I’m forty-seven. And as for ya original question, my name’s Daianne.

*she gasped as the woman smiled at her*

?: Are ya ok, sweetie?

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy leaned around the corner to get a better view*

[slaughtastreak]

Uh, yeah, that’s a cool name!

D: Thanks, kid!

So, do you have any leather jackets?

D: Course we do! Any specific colour?

Yellow?

D: Sorry, sweetie, we don’t.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy quietly opened a packet of crisps while watching the conversation*

[slaughtastreak]

That’s ok, any brightly coloured shirts?

D: Yep, follow me.

*Daianne led her over to a rack full of different coloured and patterned shirts*

Thanks!

D: Call me over if ya need anything.

*she walked away and she turned to Daisy*

Really, D?

[dynamite-daisy]

What?! I’m hungry! ……..want one?

[slaughtastreak]

Not thanks.

*she giggled and started looking through the shirts*

Did ya enjoy my suffering throughout that then?

[dynamite-daisy]

Well what do you expect?! We have no tv!

[slaughtastreak]

Thanks, appreciate it. But seriously now, her name’s Daianne. That was my mum’s name. What do we do?

[dynamite-daisy]

Fuck if I know. It’s down to you S!

[slaughtastreak]

Daisy! Help me, please! This woman could be my mother! I don’t know what to do.

*she avoided Daisy’s eye contact*

I’m scared…

[dynamite-daisy]

You just gotta go for it! I can’t really do much about ya family drama by myself..

[slaughtastreak]

But I’m scared. It’s too awkward. I can’t do it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Don’t make me push ya over there!

[slaughtastreak]

Please don’t. I don’t want to say anything. What would I tell Rio, Oro and Lay? We’ve thought our mum was dead all these years.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well don’t you wanna confirm it?!? It’s one sentence S! Just do it!

[slaughtastreak]

No! I can’t. What would I do afterwards, if she is? What do I tell my brothers? Do I invite her back into our lives? Why isn’t she dead? It’s pointless. She probably faked her death to get away from us.

*she picked out a black shirt and held it up against her*

[dynamite-daisy]

Take it one fucking step at a time! Just. Go. Ask.

[slaughtastreak]

Why should I talk to her if she didn’t want us? Like I said, it’s pointless.

*she shoved the shirt back into the rack and rubbed her face*

[dynamite-daisy]

You can’t know that for sure now hurry up!

[slaughtastreak]

I’m not doing it. Let’s just get a fucking shirt and go.

*she picked up a watermelon pink shirt and took it over to the counter*

D: That’s four carbons, please.

*she handed over the money as Daianne put the shirt into a bag, she took the bag from her and walked out, not caring if Daisy was behind her or still in the shop, she broke into a sprint*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled at the woman*

I’m pretty sure that kid is ya daughter, just so you know.

[slaughtastreak]

D: My daughter? I haven’t seen my daughter in years… Any of my kids for that matter… From what I remember, she looks nothing like my daughter did. How can ya be sure? I’ve never seen that girl in my life.

[dynamite-daisy]

Do me a favour and tell me your kids names, would ya?

[slaughtastreak]

D: The oldest is Atsushi, then there’s the twins, Marcel and Nathan, and my daughter, Olivia. I have a photo of them if ya wanna see it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah….her names Olivia..

[slaughtastreak]

D: Wait… Let me get the photo.

*she disappeared through the back door and came back a minute later with a photo frame, she showed it to Daisy*

D: I feel bad… I always called the boys by their middle names because I preferred them as my husband would treat them horribly and when he shouted their names, God, it terrified me, it terrified them too.

[dynamite-daisy]

So..

*Daisy looked down at the photo*

Whats the boys first names? I’m sorry this is all so personal to you

[slaughtastreak]

D: Its fine, darling, I need to come to terms with my past and get over it.

*she pointed to the tallest boy in the photo*

D: That’s Atsushi, his actual name is Norio.

*she pointed to the twins, the shorter one first*

D: That’s Marcel, actually Layton. And that’s Orochi, not Nathan.

*she pointed at the slightly taller twin, he had lots of visible bruises and his left leg was kind of bent inwards. Even though Layton was the shorter one in the photo, he wasn’t anymore, he was actually taller than Orochi. All three of them are still taller than Slaughta*

D: And the girl is obviously Olivia. Then there’s me and Jonathan, their father.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, that girls your daughter. And the boys are round here too. Orochi’s dating one of my oldest friends funnily enough!

[slaughtastreak]

D: Really?! Is he happy? Are the others happy? Are they eating? Taking care of themselves? Please tell me things about them. I’ve missed them so much.

[dynamite-daisy]

They’re fine! You can come seem em right now if you want! I’m a little busy cuz I just got ENGAGED!! but I’ll be glad to hook y'all up again!

[slaughtastreak]

D: Oh! Congratulations! That’s amazing, sweetheart!

*she took the photo and put it in place next to the till*

D: They wouldn’t want to see me, it’s ok, just knowing they’re ok is enough for me.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m pretty sure they would!

[slaughtastreak]

D: I don’t know, but ya might wanna go after her, it’ll be hard to find her after a while, she was known around the neighbourhood for going missing a lot.

*she wrote down her number on a business card and handed it to Daisy*

D: Just in case.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll be in touch, okay?

[slaughtastreak]

D: Ok, I’ll see ya around, sweetheart! Enjoy ya day!

[dynamite-daisy]

You too!

*Daisy smiled, put some cash on her desk and briskly walked away*

[slaughtastreak]

*she called after her*

D: What’s the money for?

[dynamite-daisy]

Treat yourself!

*She waved once more*

[slaughtastreak]

D: Thanks so much!

*she waved as Daisy left*

[dynamite-daisy]

No problem!

*Daisy jogged to catch up with Slaughta*

[slaughtastreak]

*she found a new alleyway and jogged to the end of it, she sat down, legs crossed and sighed*

Why can’t ya leave me the fuck alone?

*she spoke to the voice in her head, knowing no one was around to listen to her, she waited for a reply*

Of course ya leave now. Fucking great.

[dynamite-daisy]

Hey S what’s wrong?

[slaughtastreak]

Her. She’s what’s wrong. Is she or not?

[dynamite-daisy]

She’s is.

[slaughtastreak]

Great. Just what I fucking needed.

*she rolled her eyes and brought her knees up to her chest*

[dynamite-daisy]

Well at least you know now eh?

[slaughtastreak]

I guess. What do I tell the boys?

[dynamite-daisy]

I dunno.. your choice..

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll think about it. For now, let’s carry on shopping.

*she stood up and walked back to the street*

[dynamite-daisy]

Sure thing….

*She followed behind quietly*

[slaughtastreak]

Where d'ya wanna go then?

[dynamite-daisy]

Dunno! Maybe we should find the guys, they’re probably wondering where we are about now.

[slaughtastreak]

Let’s go then! I’ll give Tommy a call, see where they are.

*she stopped and pulled out her phone, dialled Tommy’s number and waited for him to pick up*

T: Hey! Where you been, kid? We’ve been looking for you both!

Just getting some stuff. Where are ya? We’re gonna come back.

T: Uhh… We’re outside this place…

Helpful, Tommy.

[dynamite-daisy]

I guess he’s not being too specific?

*She giggled*

[slaughtastreak]

*she took the phone away from her ear and glared at Daisy*

Of course he’s fucking not!

T: I don’t know what this place is!

Ya can be really bloody useless, Tommy.

[dynamite-daisy]

JUST DESCRIBE IT TOMMY YA ASSHOLE!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Ok! Calm down! Uh… There’s a shop? Is that a shop? It’s called ‘Carbon Convertors’ and there’s a park with some weird statue in it.

[dynamite-daisy]

Alright..we should be able to find it!

[slaughtastreak]

Thanks, Tommy, we’re on our way.

T: See you soon, kids!

*she hung up, sighed and replaced the phone in her pocket*

[dynamite-daisy]

Come on, we better get goin!

*She started walking*

[slaughtastreak]

*she followed behind*

D'ya know where the park is? I have no idea what he was on about.

[dynamite-daisy]

I’ll try and make a good guess!

*She carried on and looked around for the right direction*

[slaughtastreak]

I’ll follow your lead, it mustn’t be far though, we haven’t gone that far, have we?

[dynamite-daisy]

I don’t think so? It shouldn’t be too long hopefully!

[slaughtastreak]

I wanna see what the fuck he was on about when he said there’s a weird statue.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

I bet it’ll be somethin naked !

[slaughtastreak]

Tommy wouldn’t call that weird though!

*she giggled*

He’d call something abstract weird.

[dynamite-daisy]

True….

[slaughtastreak]

He’d call anything weird, he called me weird when he first met me.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, I just hit him over the head with a shovel.

[slaughtastreak]

Wow… Aren’t ya a nice person!

[dynamite-daisy]

I thought he was breaking in! Is wasn’t gonna just stand there!

[slaughtastreak]

That’s ok. He thinks he’s a sneaky fuck but he ain’t.

[dynamite-daisy]

It was pretty damn easy to catch him

*She laughed*

[slaughtastreak]

He won’t run. Ever. He said he only will when there’s desperate measures.

*she laughed*

[dynamite-daisy]

Well he’s certainly proven that!

[slaughtastreak]

This is why he makes me collect stock and deal with deliveries. It’s organised too, if it was him, the shop would be a tip!

[dynamite-daisy]

The only thing he does is smack talk customers!

[slaughtastreak]

He’ll ring up, stock, do accounts. He does the math side of things, he tried to teach me but it didn’t work out.

[dynamite-daisy]

Somehow he’s perfectly suited to the job yet not capable at all!

[slaughtastreak]

And that, my friend, is why we call him Mr Mystery.

*she thought for a second*

Maybe he’s like a recipe. Or a machine.

[dynamite-daisy]

What d'ya mean by that?

[slaughtastreak]

Ya need all the ingredients for a recipe. If ya don’t have one, it doesn’t work. Ya can add something and make it better. Maybe even slip in a secret ingredient to give it a kick. With a machine, ya need all the parts for it to work. Maybe ya don’t know what the machine does and to find out, ya have to get it working.

*she stopped and shook her head*

It made more sense in my head, I forgot what I meant real quick.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, I see where you’re comin from!

[slaughtastreak]

Good because I had no idea what I was saying.

[dynamite-daisy]

*She laughed*

Oh well!

[slaughtastreak]

How far away are we? I didn’t think we went this far.

[dynamite-daisy]

I think we should be pretty close now…

[slaughtastreak]

Nice… What time is it? I feel like I’ve been up for ages, I’m exhausted!

[dynamite-daisy]

It’s..umm…..nine ish..

[slaughtastreak]

Wow… We better hurry!

[dynamite-daisy]

Yup!

[jetstargalactica]

Where are they, Tommy? You said they were coming!

*he pulled out his phone and rang Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy jumped at the noise and picked up*

We’re trying!

[jetstargalactica]

Where did Tommy tell you we are?

[dynamite-daisy]

Statue or somethin? Not very specific

[jetstargalactica]

Fucking hell, he’s useless!

*the girls can hear Tommy shouting on the background, he rolls his eyes*

I’ll send you our exact location. Saying a statue in a city like this is stupid.

[dynamite-daisy]

*she laughed* Alright, we got no other place to be!

[jetstargalactica]

See you soon!

*he hung up and sent their location*

Tommy! What are you doing?! Get down! I don’t want us to end up in ER!

[dynamite-daisy]

Ok S, turns out it’s a few minutes in the OTHER direction!

[slaughtastreak]

But we’ve just come from that way?

[dynamite-daisy]

Must’ve missed it!

[slaughtastreak]

I swear, when we get there I’m gonna rip Tommy’s limbs from his torso, the useless piece of shit.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy laughed* Fuckin hell S!

[slaughtastreak]

What? He doesn’t use them! And he isn’t anytime soon!

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy sniggered*

Come on, they’re just round the corner!

[slaughtastreak]

Good! I can hurt him faster!

[dynamite-daisy]

S GEEZ!

*She laughed again*

[slaughtastreak]

Are ya telling me ya don’t wanna do that? Who are ya?!

[dynamite-daisy]

I never said I didn’t !

[slaughtastreak]

*she laughed*

C'mon, let’s get to ‘em!

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m going I’m going!

[slaughtastreak]

*they went around the corner and saw a park, there was a children’s area with a climbing frame and benches, a picnic area, some fountains and a statue of a family. At the top of the climbing frame was Tommy Chow Mein, Jet was no where to be seen as the park was surrounded by hedges*

I think we found them.

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy climbed up to the top in a flash and joined Tommy*

Yo!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Hey Daisy! Hey Slaughta!

I hate ya.

T: Love you too.

*she sat on the bench next to Jet and slowly leant on him*

T: What’ve you two been up to then?

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy smiled down at Jet and swung her legs too and fro*

Eh nothin much

[slaughtastreak]

How’s she?

*he gestured to Slaughta, asleep on Jet’s shoulder*

You taken good care of her?

[dynamite-daisy]

Well she ain’t dead is she!

[slaughtastreak]

T: I see that. But is she hurt? She doesn’t look like she’s sleeping well.

[dynamite-daisy]

She’s just stressed, do me a favour and don’t talk to her ‘bout it alright?

[slaughtastreak]

T: Ok. What about yourself then? How are you? You enjoyed your time here? You excited?

[dynamite-daisy]

Geez Tom I can barely contain myself! But y'know there’s always those…little butterflies..

[slaughtastreak]

T: I’m happy for you, kiddo. It’s not always easy to find someone who loves you, I should know, I’m happy you found that person. You know what you’re doing. Don’t tell Slaughta but Kobra likes her and he won’t do anything. I want them to get together because it’s so obvious they like each other. They seem so right together. She doesn’t know she’s found the right guy and he’s staring her in the face.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah…that’s life I guess…

[slaughtastreak]

T: I care for the kid, I don’t want her to make the same mistake I did. I regret it everyday. Don’t be oblivious to them when they’re right in front of you.

*he paused, groaned and sighed*

T: I’m glad you and Jet didn’t ignore it. When you feel it, don’t ignore it because when you lose them, it might be gone forever. I treat and look after her as if she’s my own daughter, what I always wanted, and I don’t want her to make this mistake.

*he paused again*

T: Sorry, Daisy, I’m rambling, I’ll stop now.

[dynamite-daisy]

Nah it’s fine, I like rambling..

*She squeezed Tommys hand*

[slaughtastreak]

T: Thanks, Daisy…

*he smiled and looked up at the clear night sky*

T: I’d like to think that they’re up there somewhere.

[dynamite-daisy]

Don’t we all…

[slaughtastreak]

T: If it’s not too personal or upsetting, do you wanna share? If you want to get anything off your chest, I’ll listen.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh..it’s just family, ya miss em sometimes..

[slaughtastreak]

T: Yeah, it can be difficult sometimes, I miss my family too.

[dynamite-daisy]

It sure can…

[slaughtastreak]

T: But like it is with everything in the Zones nowadays, you have to power through it. It gets easier after time though, kid, believe me.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, an time’s never on our side is it…!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Definitely not. Everything’s rushed out there.

[dynamite-daisy]

Always….

[slaughtastreak]

T: Things will start to look up, kiddo. You’ll notice. The sky will be bluer, the sand… Grainier? The flowers, brighter. And they definitely are going to, Daisy. I can see it.

*he put his arm around her gently*

T: Trust me.

*he let go and climbed down, heading off through the park*

[dynamite-daisy]

*She smiled and jumped down, picking up a blade of brown grass and winding it between her fingers*

….the grass will be greener..the sky will be bluer…

[jetstargalactica]

*he had his arm around Slaughta as she slept on his shoulder*

You alright, Daisy? You look a bit lost.

[dynamite-daisy]

Eh, just tired is all! You ok?

*She kissed him on the forehead*

[jetstargalactica]

I’m good, thanks. We should head home, it’s getting late.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yeah, good idea!

[jetstargalactica]

*he picked Slaughta up and slung her over his shoulder as he stood up*

Where’d Tommy go?

[dynamite-daisy]

Went on ahead I think? We’ll catch up!

[jetstargalactica]

Ok then! Let’s be careful not to wake this one up.

*he smiled and they walked out of the park*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy wrapped her arm in Jets as they walked*

[jetstargalactica]

Is there anything you want to do before we leave? We can get food if you’re hungry?

[dynamite-daisy]

I’m shiny if you are!

[jetstargalactica]

There’s the leftovers from the picnic, so that should be enough if we want something on the way back.

[dynamite-daisy]

Totally! It was brilliant, thank you

[jetstargalactica]

No problem, it’s the least I could do for a special girl! Do you remember where we parked?

[dynamite-daisy]

Shouldn’t be too far..somewhere over there?

*She pointed*

[jetstargalactica]

Let’s head that way then!

*he walked in the direction she pointed*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy messed with the ring on her finger happily, but with that common touch of nervousness*

[jetstargalactica]

You ok? Is something wrong? Who do I have to beat up? I bet it’s Tommy. Fucking piece of shit.

[dynamite-daisy]

Calm down jackass!

*She laughed*

It’s nothing..! I just haven’t slept well lately..

[jetstargalactica]

Well as soon as we get to the car, you can sleep for as long as you like. I’d carry you but this one’s out as if she’s dead when she’s sleeping so there’s no chance of waking her.

[dynamite-daisy]

Well to be honest I’m a fuckin brick when I’m asleep and you should know!

[jetstargalactica]

No wonder you two get on so well.

[dynamite-daisy]

Yep! Couldn’t live without the little bastard!

[jetstargalactica]

The perfect way to describe her.

*he chuckled*

[dynamite-daisy]

Totally!

*they carried on walking*

[jetstargalactica]

I wonder what life would be like if she had never come to the diner.

*he spotted the car and jogged slowly up to it, unlocking it and opening the door for Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*She smile and slouched into a seat*

[jetstargalactica]

*he shut the door behind her and plopped Slaughta down on the back seat, he strapped her in and got in the driver’s seat*

What the fuck is Tommy up to now?

[dynamite-daisy]

Who knows! Guess we’ll just have to wait?

[slaughtastreak]

T: Guys?! Where are you?! Hello?!

*he stood in the park, looking around, he pulled out his phone and checked for any messages. He decided to call Daisy*

[dynamite-daisy]

*Daisy heard her phone vibrating and picked it up*

Yo!

[slaughtastreak]

T: Where'd you go?

*he sounded sad*

T: I can't find you guys anywhere.
