a bit of a vent post -wheeze- Been stuck fixing a huge error at work these past few days //that could have been avoided if people weren't rushing and trying to cut corners// So here is Norton doing the same in space/odyssey au pff
flashback of Norton in the middle of the inner workings of a company spaceship, cramped, uncomfortable, and awkwardly positioned fixing up someone's piss poor lazy work groaning and moaning about it as he fixes it lol
Norton: "all this high tech only for people to have to keep fixing it and setting it up. When are tools going to start fixing things without my help. I am the head of geology research why am I the one down here?? I don't work in this grunt work department anymore!" -mumble mumble grumble-
Casper: Tell me you’re not actually planning on leaving.
Shi: Cas, you know I-
Casper: You’re hiding something from me. I can see it in your eyes. Just tell me the truth, please. Answer me!
Shi: [Sighs] I just found out that I’m a product of Toue’s research... And that I apparently have a twin brother.
Casper: Wait... What? Toue, as in that dictator?
Shi: Yeah, and he’s only just realised that I’ve been alive this whole time.
Casper: Shi...
Shi: My Grandma was a part of the research- She didn’t realise how fucked up everything was until it was too late. Grandma was the one who took me away and dropped me off at the orphanage.
Casper: And then your adoptive parents brought you back into her life.
Shi: Yeah. Then they fucked off and it was just the two of us again.
Casper: So... The way she treated you as you got older was not because she hated you, but because she was trying to protect you from... Toue?
Shi: Apparently so. But it was only a matter of time before he’d find me.
Casper: How did he find out?
Shi: I don’t know... All I know is that he wants to use my power to help gain control over Earth.
Casper: Earth? Why Earth?
Shi: I’m guessing it’s because of how heavily populated it is. There’s what? Almost 8 billion people living on that planet. The more people he can control, the better I suppose.
Casper: Makes sense. What about your brother?
Shi: He’s being transported to Earth. As soon as he lands, their project starts.
Casper: How long until then?
Shi: Three days.
Casper: Shit. I guess I can’t exactly stop you from leaving, then.
Shi: It’s only temporary.
Casper: Promise me one thing?
Shi: Yeah?
Casper: Keep in touch, will you?
Shi: Sure.
Shi: You know, Cas. I think we should do something to help you remember me while I’m gone.

Shi: Fuck-
Casper: [Panting] Oh, fuck-
Shi: You good?
Casper: Yeah- Keep going!
- Flashback Ends -
Tap water running.
Casper: [Sniffles] Everything is fine. It’s fine. It’s fine. Fuck...
More history about Cass and her sibling. Show us the cuteness pls
Flareon “Do you think they’ll still get along when they get older, Lyra?”Lyra “Hmhm, I think so -v-, Cassiopeia’s been really level headed for a youngling and Victor’s a kind soul! Pyry’s been teaching them well too, huhuhu! We just have to do our part too, right, Keegan?”
