"We will allow it this time!"

"...Mostly cause Dad said we can't interrogate Vio anymore when we told him about it..."

"That's because I still haven't met Vio and I would prefer you two not to play 20 questions with new people..."

"It's almost my birthday!"

Haru eagerly rushes around his house, grabbing a few things as Zach and Sylvia wait for him in the door. He grabs his Tri-Slosher, eagerly rushing to the door.

"Let's go let's go let's go!!"

He rushes past his siblings, Zach's eyes widening.

"Wait for me!!"

Zach soon ran after his brother, Apollo laughing softly as he follows after them. Zach and Haru would head to the Lobby to play turf together while Sylvia and Apollo ran a few errands.

"I think he's pretty happy."

"He's been feeling better this week. Wish I could say the same... If I'm a little slow, just keep going I'll catch up eventually."

"Sylvia's birthday is in two weeks. What do we do?"

"I've already started saving for a present. You're making her something right? Cause Gram and Gramps took you shopping for new crochet yarn?"

"Yup! I've already started it, but I have to do it when she's not here so I can surprise her!"

Zach hums, leaning his head on his hand.

"What about you Dad?"

"She needs a new guitar case, the current one's on its last legs. I've already been looking for some that'd she would like."

"Ooh I could get her a new pick! Okay! Gotta go looking!"

💖 - Haru and Zach !

Peer into their Memories

💖- A memory that made them feel special

Haru laid in his hospital bed, watching TV. Getting sick so frequently made him miss out on a lot of things, celebrating his birthday included. Sure, he was feeling better now, his doctor said he'd be discharged either today or tomorrow but...

Well, he hated feeling this way. Especially when it meant not getting to go out with his family.

Maybe when he can actually change forms he'll be less sick...

"Haruuuuuuuu!!"

Zach, Sylvia, Apollo and Cynthia came into the room, Zach practically running and nearly slamming into the rails of the bed. Apollo shook his head.

「Please don't yell, we're in a hospital, Zach. 」

Sylvia sits down beside Haru's bed, Zach bouncing up and down excitedly and babbling quickly at his brother. She tries to get him to sit still, glancing at her mother.

"Zachary behave. We are not staying long."

Zach quickly stopped moving, looking a little disheartened. He nods, moving to climb into the bed next to Haru. He grinned, leaning close to whisper to his brother.

"Haru. We have surprise for you."

"...Huh?"

Haru tilted his head, looking at Zach and then at Sylvia. She smiled softly at him, clearly hiding something in her bag for him. His mother and father were talking to one another, Haru couldn't exactly tell what but they were trying not to sound like they were arguing. He frowned, Sylvia moving herself into his view to block out his parents' "quiet" arguing.

「I'm sorry you're in here instead of where we were going for your birthday.」

Her voice was quiet, rummaging through her bag.

「But we brought you a gift that you can still use while you're in here. Technically its from Gram and Gramps down in the Valley, the ones we have for you we couldn't bring here.」

She held out a small wrapped box to him, Haru gently taking it from her and opening it. His eyes widened slightly, pulling out a little step by step crochet kit of a unicorn. His eyes practically sparkled, looking at Sylvia and then back at the kit. Zach grinned, bouncing a bit.

「I picked the unicorn. Nana said she couldn't figure out which one to get you, so I told her to get the unicorn cause I knew you'd like it. Cause you always look at those kits when we go shopping!」

Haru immediately attempted to open the box, struggling a bit. Sylvia chuckled, taking it from him and opening it for him. He said a soft thank you and immediately began to read through the instructions. Zach tried to help as best he could, holding the yarn for him as he started. Sylvia just sat there, not quite grasping how it worked. Haru smiled brightly, feeling much better than he had when he was alone in his room. His siblings were there with him, they may not have gotten to do what he wanted that day but at least he knows he's well loved regardless.

💜 Apollo

Peer into their Memories

💜- A memory about one of their loved ones, happy or sad

Bright.

The surface was... extremely bright. His eyes hurt, he tried to just... keep his head down and focus. He'd never been out of the domes before, and sneaking out wasn't really smart but...

Well, he was curious.

He looked around the outside of Octo Valley, walking slowly as he took in the sights. It was... very different from the domes. He pauses at the tree line, kneeling down to examine several flowers and plants growing there. He'd never seen anything that wasn't produced by the Octarians themselves, everything was so... beautiful.

"Hey! What are you doin' out here?"

Apollo jolt, eyes wide as he turns to the source of the voice. An Inkling woman stands a few feet away, staring at him. She's holding a basket full of flowers and other trinkets inside.

「Ah. 」

Apollo's eyes widened, staring back at her. Instinctively, he got into a defensive pose, the inkling woman walking closer to him.

"What? You want to fight? I'm not exactly a physical person. Seriously, what are you doing out here? We aren't usually supposed to go out this far. You alone??"

Apollo frowned, he... wasn't well versed when it came to speaking the same language as the Inklings. Sure, it can be taught to them in school but it was an optional class (one he took but was not exactly great at). He processed her words as she walked up to him, looking him over. He blinked, feelings his cheeks flush.

...She was very pretty.

"...I... do not... You won't fight?"

Apollo stumbled over his words, staring at her. She chuckled, tilting her head.

"No? Why would I fight you? Unless you were planning on attacking me."

"You... Inkling. I am Octoling."

He frowned, mumbling to himself in Octarian as he tried to remember more words. He went to speak, his stomach suddenly growling loudly. His face flushed, scratching his cheek.

"...Sorry... Hungry."

"Well, I was heading back home soon. I've found what I was looking for. Care to join me? I'm sure lunch is already done and waiting for me."

She held her hand out to him, Apollo glancing at it. Her nails were painted and manicured, he usually only saw his fellow Octolings' fingertips in the same color. Not nails.

"I am Cynthia."

Slowly, Apollo grasped her hand with his own, mindful of his sharper fingertips. He smiled bashfully, squeezing her hand.

"...Apollo."

...Maybe the surface wasn't as bad as Octavio said...

"Oh I like Koa! Even if we've only met once she seemed really nice!"

"We will allow that! We may not know her well but she was nice to us and gave off good vibes!"

"I haven't met Koa so I trust Zach and Haur's words... And Sylvia's mentioned her a few times, all positive things."

[tfsroleplay-arch]

"IT'S SNOWING!!"

"SNOOOOOOOOOWWW!!!"

The two boys immediately rush outside, not exactly properly dressed for the snow but enough that they'd keep warm for a bit. They start throwing snowballs at each other and jumping around in the snow, Sylvia and Apollo standing by the front door.

"Huh... Can't remember the last time we had a proper White Squidmas..."

Apollo chuckles, adjusting his scarf a bit.

"Hah. Usually it's either ice, rain, or nothing. Winter is a little fickle..."

[tfsroleplay-arch]

"...What the hell are you two doing?"

Sylvia stands in the dark of their kitchen, finding her brothers crowded around a small jar of salsa and a bag of chips.

"...Midnight snack?"

"...Wanna join us?"

She stares at them, glancing at the salsa jar. It's mild.

"...Move over. This is the closest thing I can get to real spicy stuff..."

The three siblings huddle around the counter together, the area illuminated via their ink. Well, mostly Sylvia's...

"Am I allowed to join in or is this a kids only thing?"

Apollo peeks his head out from around the hall corner, having just exited the bathroom. All three siblings stare at him before motioning him over.
