Modern au and ogCale is that one rich friend. Case in point, all his friends somehow end up being in jail. Some more than once. And he is that friend that just comes and bails them out.
Rok Soo in jail cause he kidnapped someone's pet? Call Cale.
Choi Han in jail cause he beat up someone? Call Cale.
Taylor in jail for forging something? Call Cale.
Cage in jail for public drinking or tax evasion? Call Cale.
Archie in jail for speeding? Call Cale.
Hans in jail cause he was at the wrong place at the wrong time? Call Cale.
Rosalyn in jail cause she was caught purchasing illegal stuff for her experiments? Call Cale.
At this point Cale knows everyone in the police station. At one point he just thinks his friends like to go to jail. At some point he stopped questioning why the are in jail at all.
One time he is the one in jail because of being near a murder scene. He did not do shit, but it's protocol and all. He doesn't call anyone, he's just chilling while playing cards with the guards or smth. Than the next moment chaos ensues cause instead bailing him out with money his friends decided to break him out of jail.
Later he's the one paying for the mass destruction.
I find it hilarious that Archie and Rasheel, who were introduced as the troublemakers who were always looking for a fight, have become some of the calmest and most sensible characters in Cale's group.
Never have I ever had to complain about something this hard for something this simple as Archie's scars
In his whale from where do they land Like could you explain to me why was I searching like a possessed dog, search for the scares landing position like all I know is it lands on his face
So I ended up with this sketch should do a change on this?

Out of Their Minds (pt. 1)
Crash!Â
Baaaaaaaaang!
You watched the chaos going on outside your house from the comfort of your tank.Â
Okay, itâs Pasetonâs house but itâs not like it matters much.
Itâs almost been a year since you started living with the Whale Tribe. At first, everyone was apprehensive about the Whale Prince bringing you home. However, soon enough they considered you as part of their own.
They seem to have a misunderstanding that you and Paseton are dating though. Not that you knew about it.
âWhatâs wrong? You scared little bitch? Hmmm?â
You hear Archie taunt White Star and you couldnât help but laugh.Â
âI wish I asked for some snacksâŚâ
Chaos continued on the battlefield. The tank on the rooftop gave you full access to everything happening while simultaneously displaying you.
âSo I just have to act like I donât want to give this piece of paper since itâs from my mom? But itâs not really from her and this is just some bullshit document?â
âExactly, just taunt them for a bit before giving it up.â
âBut what if they want to take me with them?â
You asked Paseton as you clutch the fake document in your chest.
âThey wouldnât be able to get you out of our house even if they wanted to. I promise.â
Paseton reassures you. His confident gaze makes you have courage too.
âSo thatâs where youâve been. Iâve been worried sick you know?â
White Star lied to your face casually. You couldnât help but stick your middle finger at him.
âYouâre not that great of a liar you fucker!â
âŚMaybe youâve been hanging too much with Archie these days.
The masked man let out a dry laugh before his eyes landed on the document you were holding. How could it not? Itâs under-water but it looks perfectly fine. That could only mean that itâs important.
âI see youâve decided to betray your kind and join hands with the Whale Tribe. Say now my nephew, whatâs that paper in your hands?â
âNephew my ass! I told you stupid idiots that Iâm not that desperate for a family to consider you as one.â
You dived down the tank and White Star leisurely followed you by going down the stairs. Yes, Paseton has essentially built an entire saltwater aquarium that has access to every part of his house. He said that this way youâll be able to go anywhere you want in the house even while staying in the tank.
âGive that document to me and then weâll go home together. How does that sound?â
Is this guy dumb or what? Just how many times do you have to say that you donât want to be part of his cult before he gets it in that thick skull of his?
âThis is my home you dipshit! And thereâs no way Iâm giving you this. Mom said this is important enough that it will unite the mermaids and the whalesââ
You covered your mouth as if youâd accidentally spilt a big secret. White Star smiled, your âslip-upâ just confirmed his suspicion that the document in your hand is connected to the one in Pasetonâs pocket.
âThat must be the bargaining chip you used so you could hide in here.â
âErr not really⌠Wow, young master Cale was right, walk a few steps with this bastard and heâll run a mile.â
The deposed mermaid prince accidentally showed astonishment in his face. Luckily, White Star interpreted it as his guess being the correct one.
âGive that to me, a child does not need such important things.â
âIâm in my 20s, Iâm not a kid. Did losing every battle with Cale Henituse make you dumb or something?â
You swam back up to the rooftop where Paseton deliberately left an opening so White Star could snatch the document in your hands. Placing two hands on the edge of the tank, you hoist yourself up. Making it look like youâre trying to escape.
âArchie! Help me over here!â
The killer whale on the glacier looked at you and stood up to go help you. Just in time, you could see Sayeru snatch the document in Pasetonâs pocket.
âItâs time for the missing prince to go home and fulfil his duties, no?â
âOw! Let go of my hair! Go grab your own!â
White Star not only snatched the document in your hands, he also dared to grab you by the hair. It looks like he fully intends to drag you back home.
âThat power is not here.â
âPower? What power are you talking about you bastard?â
You continue to struggle in White Starâs hold as he opens the document with one hand. Just when will Archie get here?
â...This is real. This looks like a real ancient text.â
The lunatic kept speaking to himself.
Sayeru, who heard that said lunatic, ordered the black mages to start casting the teleportation circle.
Okay, now youâre panicking a little. If Archie takes his sweet time getting to here youâll be a goner.
âHey! Give that back to me and let me go! Hwy are you even listening to me!?â
You frantically shout but White Star doesnât say anything and just continues dragging you towards one of the teleportation circles.
âOh no you donât!â
âTook you long enough you stupid whale!â
âIs that how you speak to your saviour!?â
Archie snarled at you but you didnât back down.
âSavior my ass! You sliced my beautiful hair!â
âThat couldâve been one of your fins you brat!â
You two argued as you escaped from White Star.
âAre we not taking the mermaid with us?â
âWe can get him another time. This takes priority.â
Paaaat!
Sayeru and White Star chatted as the teleportation circle did its thing and allowed them to escape the land of the Whale Tribe.Â
âMy hair! Do you know just how hard I take care of it!?â
âItâll grow back you crybaby!â
You and Archie are still arguing even as you arrive at where Paseton and the Whale King are.
âAre they always like this?â
Cale asked Witira after seeing your dynamic with the killer whale.
âI didnât expect them to get along so well, my brother seems to have a headache though since the mermaid prince has been cursing more nowadays.â
Well, you and Archie really seemed to bond in your own ways so Cale lets the topic go. Instead, he focused his attention towards Witira and the approaching Clopeh.
âAre you okay?â
Paseton grabbed you from Archie so he could carry you in his arms. As soon as you were in his arms you rested your head against his chest. The movement was instinctual from how many times he has carried you.
No wonder why people mistake you two as a couple. Shickler personally thinks itâs just a matter of time before Paseton goes to him to say that his going to marry you.
âI was scared he was going to bring me back to that crazy placeâŚâ
You mumbled against the Whale Princeâs chest. The earlier spite you had now gone.
âI promised you remember? I told you that I won't let anyone take you away.â
âYeahâŚâ
Paseton stroked your badly trimmed hair. His gesture brings you comfort, you still feel a bit shaken up from earlier but being in Paseton's arms reminds you that everything is okay now.
If you asked your past self if they could imagine you feeling safe in the Whale Tribe Princeâs arm heâd probably look at you as if youâre insane.
And perhaps you are.
But you wouldnât want to change.Â
