“Carlos, I’m bored. Entertain your sister please,” Maria announced, flopping onto Carlos’ desk dramatically.

Carlos hummed, considering. "Have you ever heard of the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?"

"Hey Carlos~ I, your favorite baby sister who you love very much, have a question for you."

Carlos looked at her. “Normally I’d be ready to answer any question you posed for me,” he said to her. “But then you asked it like that.” He gave her a look -- one where he folded his arms and tilted his head up to look down his nose at her. He schooled his face to be entirely calm, except for his eyes which he narrowed suspiciously. “People will think you’re... up to something.”

"Is this how little you think of me?"

“No, Maria,” Carlos said sternly. “God, no! I think the world of you! And that’s why I get so worried about you!”

"Well this is a new one, hermano. What's the shiny thing on your back? Why are you so small?"

"I... I don't know," Carlos said. He frowned up at his sister. "My beard's gone too.... I don't get it. Of all the things -- my BEARD??"

"Stop taking all the ice cream."

“Hey, I buy it, I eat it,” Carlos teased and he defiantly shoved another spoonful in his mouth.

Sick Sister (w/ MariatheIntern)

Reply to this

Carlos had wondered why his sister wasn’t up yet. Yeah, she slept in quite a bit, but this was late -- even for her. Still, Carlos had gone about his day and cleaned up some of the house. He started laundry, he cleaned light the lightswitches and the baseboards, he wiped ooze from the walls... he was being very productive.

Carlos was swapping his laundry out of the dryer and putting in Cecil’s wet clothes when he heard the groaning. Either someone had let a zombie into their home, or that was Maria. Carlos hoped it was the latter.

He traveled to Maria’s room and knocked on her door before peeking his head in. “Marita? Are you awake?” he asked.

"Um...what the fuck happened to you? What's with the whole wolf thing?"

Carlos huffed with his head lying on one paw. He was lying down in his bed when his sister came in. Well... she was going to find out sooner or later.

“Curse,” he answered shortly. “It’s not gonna last forever though.”

Spending Time Together (closed w/ mariatheintern)

It’d been a while since Carlos had been out for social activities. But he was going out to spend time with his sister and Cecil, which was always a plus in his book.

He stood at the door of his closet looking in, contemplating his selection of clothes. Now if he could just figure out what to wear...
