*music echoes from the depth of the vault, it is distorted and the rythm keep switching, as if someone keep changing what is being played*

@thenotfakeskynx

"Come~~cl-ser @%%€&@*# com-m-me cl0ser"

*looping over and over again, it doesn't seem like it will stop*

[thenotfakeskynx]

woah... you big buge... wowe...

[The drapemite looked up at Skynx in awe.]

...so cool...

@drapemite-saved

*Skynx shut is open maw, they were clearly about to pounce on the little bug*

Cool? You think we're not-lame?

YEAH! YEAH we are! We're a cool bug! Thank you little bug.

Now... RUN

*They leap at the drapemite, claws outstretched, jaw agape*

[thenotfakeskynx]

The day was dreary, fog from the Mist seeping deep into Sinner's Road. How that was possible, he didn't know. He learned to never ask questions. 

"Styx??" The hybrid kept his head low, tucking into a dull grey cloak. "Styx, you there???" 

It's weird... This was the place he remembered Styx being, but no sign of the bug. "I've got the egg you requested!" 

Nothing, just the foul stench of the road mixing with smog. 

"Styx...?" He could see movement, not far from him. But why hadn't he responded? "Is that you?"

@weaving-moth

*you see "Styx's" head emerge from the shadows*

Yesss. Sssorry, apology if we have ssscared you.

Please come closer to usss. Give usss the egg.

[weaving-moth]

"Styx!" The hybrid beamed up at his friend. Sure, he was acting a bit weird, but he'd grown used to the typical strangeness that followed him.

He fumbled for the egg, holding it out, waiting for the bug to take it. "Sorry it took so long. Been swamped with courier work, among other things." 

[thenotfakeskynx]

* "Styx" gently grab the egg. With horrible bone cracking sound, "Styx's" head flip on itself*

Thank you for the not-difficult meal, little mothling. For it we ssshall ssspare your life.

*the impersonating figure scuttle away, with surprising speed, dark limbs stretching and bending to crawl into any hole the egg can fit through*

[flea-awoo]

*You stumble into a cardboard box*

*OPEN IT?*

@thenotfakeskynx <- pay no attention to this

Chime nearly flies by the box at first, but does a double take when they realize what they’ve just seem.

“A box…? Wonder why this is here… Oooh, maybe it has supplies!”

The flea eagerly opens the box, hoping to perhaps find some kind of food seeing as they are running somewhat low on that.

[thenotfakeskynx]

*the creature take one step forward... and collapses on the ground like a puppet whose strings got cut, its body flat and deflated looking*

Curssses isss our current ssstate unable to even hunt a sssmall flea.

Not-step back sssmall bug, so we could grab and devour you

[flea-awoo]

Chime lets out a yelp of terror as they jump away, not even consciously doing so but instead as a reflex. They make no move to close the distance between themself and the terrifying creature, despite its current somewhat pathetic state.

“Gah! …Wait, are you okay? What happened? I can see if I can help you, but you gotta promise not to try to eat me, okay?”

[thenotfakeskynx]

We need no help! *sob* w-we are a terrifying *hic* a terrifying hunter and we'll -we'll

*the rest of the phrase disappear in pourring tears*

ggullaaghhugurlguuhlglagul!

[flea-awoo]

“I dunno about that… you’re the only bug I’ve seen in a while out here, so if I don’t help, who will?”

Chime opens their satchel and takes out what seems to be some dried mossberries, holding them out to the crying creature. They seem absolutely terrified by the deflated bug before them, yet the push past this in an attempt to help.

“I’ve got food, see? If you want, I’m happy to share with you. It’s really tasty and I’m sure it’s better than flea, besides, I’m mostly just fur anyways. So just take some food instead of eating me and we can talk about how to help you once you’re not hungry, okay?”

[thenotfakeskynx]

You dare to mock usss?! We have stomach problem and you offer usss food?!

.

.

.

Pleassse do ssstay... we'll calm down. Excussse our not-kind behavior, we had no sssuccesssful hunt in a while, AND YOU LOOK SSSO TASSSTY.

Apologiesss, again.

If you know the presssence of a healer it would help usss

[styxs-nest]

*Tein wanders aimlessly around Sinner's Road, carrying some bits of wood that they had found. They figured that Styx likely wasn't at his nest, so the decided to do the old fashion way of finding someone.*

"Friend Styx! One has arrived with some materials! ... Where- ... where are you- .... Friend Styx!!" *They called out, "looking" around.*

@tein-of-weavenest-karn

Over here-

Styx’s voice lacked much energy. By the sounds of it, he was rather exhausted. He slowly walked up to Tein.

Ssss-ssssorry I vanished- I alsss-ssso went to ssssearch for materials and- many, many, MANY thingsss had happened along the way-

He flopped face down onto the ground for a moment to at least regain a little bit of energy after the eventful search. There was still much work to do. He got back up and looked at his friend.

It’ssssss good to see you Tein! Thank you for helping me find everything to repair the nesss-ssst. I admittedly had not found nearly as much-

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

*They were concerned hearing how exhausted he was.* “It is alright, friend Styx. One is always glad to aid in any way that they can.” *They said, doing a small bow.* “One is unsure of how much you need, but perchance this is enough?” *They asked, holding out the materials that oddly looks like pieces of a boat or raft.*

[styxs-nest]

Styx looks closely at the materials, pondering how much will be needed to fix the nest. He smiles.

Yesssss. That should be more than enough to repair the nesss-ssst. Thank you, Tein.

Styx bows back.

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

*They smile as well.* "Of course, friend Styx. Whenever you are ready, one shall follow you to your nest." *They paused.* "Please point out if one is about to run into a wall...."

[styxs-nest]

Alright, then! Off we go!

And with that, Styx begins to lead the way back. The caves are full of twists and turns.

Watch out for the wall-

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

*They stop before they could hit the wall, one of their lower arms reaching out to touch it. They followed the wall around a corner, still following Styx.* "One thanks you, friend Styx."

[styxs-nest]

You’re welcome, Tein!

With that, Styx continues forward, remaining vigilant while traversing.

Eventually, the two make it to the final stretch of the path. As they both approach the entrance to Styx’s nest, though, a clamorous “CRASH” from his home can be heard.

WAH-

Styx jumps and yelps at the unexpected clatter.

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

*Tein flinched as well, dropping the supplies in the process.* "That... cannot be good..."

[styxs-nest]

One sssssecond-

Styx rushes into the cave to investigate the commotion, heart pounding. That had better not have been what he thought it was. As soon as he finds the source of the noise, he drops his share of materials onto the ground in disbelief.

Oh, you cannot be ssssserious-

He then hurries back to Tein and awkwardly fidgets his claws.

Ssssso, uh-

He laughs in a mix of both stress and frustration.

The nessss-ssst may have… collapssssed- onto the ground?

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

*They had crouched down to pick up the materials that they had dropped.* "Oh dear.... One had thought that might have happened...." *They finished picking up the wood, standing up straight.* "We better get to work now then."

[styxs-nest]

Styx, still shaken by how sudden that was, could only agree through a stressed, “uh-huh” and hurry back into the cave.

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

*They followed, setting the wood on the ground when they got to the now broken nest.*

"One is unsure of how to reconstruct your nest as it is different than the silken nests that Weavers have, or just a simple rock-nest that Nosks have.."

[styxs-nest]

Ssssss. Indeed, it is ssssignificantly different. The wooden frame mossstly needsss nails and anything elsssse sharp to keep the piecessss in place. Luckily, I did prepare for thissss, ahead of time, sssso we do not need to worry about the nails.

Ssssso I would ssssay the firsssst sssstep would be to fix the frame.

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

"Very well. One shall attempt to begin." *They sat down, grabbing two pieces of wood and holding them together.*

[styxs-nest]

Styx follows suit, picking up some wood and putting them together to rebuild the broken parts of the frame.

Ssssso did anything interessssting happen during your journey here?

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

"Not too much. Though one had met a friend. He said that he knew you, and he was coming to visit you as well. We travelled together for a bit before we parted ways, though one thinks that he shall catch up soon." *They reached for another bit of wood then paused.* "That reminds one- One's vision is still normal! Perchance once we finish fixing your nest one could properly see your face? One would need to go to a dark cave to do such.."

[styxs-nest]

Styx pauses hammering a nail and perks up when he hears Tein say they saw someone who knew him and was coming to visit.

Oh! Was it Sssstylts, by any chance?

Styx resumes hammering the nail as he talks.

He did sssssay he was making his way here real sssssoon! Moving in to Sss-sssinner’s Road, actually!

And of coursss-ssse! Once the nessst is repaired, you can sssssee my face!

You did ssssay your vision is temporary, correct?

[tein-of-weavenest-karn]

"It was Stylts, yes! He is quite an..interesting bug-... One assumes it is temporary, though one is unsure.. One is hoping it stays how it is for awhile. At least until Mei returns. One would love to be able to see their face..."

[styxs-nest]

Styx smiles as he picks up another piece of wood and places it next to the previous pair of wooden pieces he had assembled.

Ah! Ssssso you have met Sssstylts then! He’sssss nice!

Styx takes another nail and starts hammering it into the frame.

I do hope you alsssso get to ssssee Mei’s face!

@stylts

[stylts]

*A rumbling is heard. It sounds like a really big... something*

*Stylts digs through the ceiling and falls in*

"Greetingsss, brother Sss-Styx! Oh hi Tien!"

*A cart filled with random crap fall from the hole as well*

[styxs-nest]

Styx suddenly stops hammering, his eyes widening when he hears the rumbling. He looks up at the ceiling and flinches when Stylts falls.

Ah! Greetingssss, Sss-ssstylts! It is great to finally meet you in persssson-

Styx yelps when the cart falls from the ceiling next.

HIGHER BEINGSSSS ABOVE-

[stylts]

"That'sss mine, don't worry about it. But it is good to finally meet you!"

*Stylts stands up (he's slightly taller that styx) and hugs his new friend*

[styxs-nest]

You too!

Styx hugs Stylts in return.

I hope your trip here wasssss not too bumpy.

[stylts]

"It wasss fine. Except the uh, raft incident. Think I got a concussion from that..."

"Anywaysss, i believe there'sss sssomething I need to do."

*Stylts begins sniffing the air, eventually making his way towards a wall*

[styxs-nest]

SSSSSS- A concussion?! That’ssss- Not good-

Styx watches a little confused as Stylts sniffs the air and walks to the wall, but doesn’t question it.

[stylts]

*The wall is familiar. He can smell the stench of an internet scammer*

@thenotfakeskynx

[thenotfakeskynx]

*a voice resonate from the wall, it sound unusually choppy and the tone keep shifting, like unable but trying to sustain an normal voice*

Sssuch crowd in our nessst today. Come to not-destroy it? It doesss need reparation, good one or you'll get •A concussion?! That'ssss- Not Good•

*the voice say, the last part repeated with Styx's voice*

Thisss bug would help, but thisss bug hasss found itssself... damaged

*Skynx crawl out from a crack between two rocks, it's is very flat, like a deflated ballon or a forgotten banana peel*

■Greetingsss, brother Sss-styx! Oh hit Tein!■ (<in Stylts' voice)... hugh hello Stylts.

[stylts]

"I wasss going to blow you up, but uh... i don't think you can do much in your current ssstate."

*Stylts looks a bit confused at how skynx ended up so... flat*

"Anywaysss...

Howsss your keyboard?"

[thenotfakeskynx]

*Skynx growl*

Gone... like three quarter of our ssstomach. And like your face if you don't ssstop mocking usss.

*the creature tries to do leap, but can barelly lift its front leg*

[styxs-nest]

*Tein wanders aimlessly around Sinner's Road, carrying some bits of wood that they had found. They figured that Styx likely wasn't at his nest, so the decided to do the old fashion way of finding someone.*

"Friend Styx! One has arrived with some materials! ... Where- ... where are you- .... Friend Styx!!" *They called out, "looking" around.*

[phantom-and-lace-both]

the box? The box deliberatly sent in the askbox? The askbox's box? You mean this box?

📦

@thenotfakeskynx

[Phantom does not seem to respond to the box.]

[They stare at it. Perhaps they see it. But they do not move, do not speak.]

[If they know of the box, they do not know what to amke of it.]

[thenotfakeskynx]

*the creature crumble on itself, looking like a banana peel almost, it drags itself across the floor. Mumbling weakly about pipes and plumbers*

[plumbers-brothers-warriors]

*Would you like a box in these trying time?*

📦

@thenotfakeskynx

Marro unpacks the box.

Nothing.

[thenotfakeskynx]

*Second box arrive*

[plumbers-brothers-warriors]

The Nosk's scream pierces Marro's... ears?

MAMMA MIA!

This creature was much taller than Marro -- taller than Luugi, even -- with the same amount of bulk in it's limbs. It's features were mostly blocked out by smoke -- wherever that had come from, he had no idea.

Four pairs of lavender eyes pierced through the smoke. The Nosk's four pairs of eyes.

LUUGI, GET DOWN! THERE IS A MONSTER IN OUR HOMESTEAD!

WHAT?!

S-S-SORRY MARRO, GOTTA GO!

Luugi ducks under a table like the coward he is.

Marro stands his ground and faces the Nosk head on.

What? You think I'm backing away too? Oh, no, no, no. You should be the one backing away.

Marro was clearly fixed on the common "Nosks are inherently evil" mindset.

[thenotfakeskynx]

One resssist, the other flee? The two type of prey we prefer.

🎵Fight buggy fight buggy fight fight fight.

Sssoon you will die you will die die die🎵 (<-to the tune of rabbit run)

*with that the creature lunges forward, its body contorting and twisting it every direction, allowing them to move with surprising speed and agility for such a large being

[plumbers-brothers-warriors]

The Nosk's lunge brushed against a chest of drawers, knocking over lots of things and breaking some.

One of the things broken was a picture frame depicting his mother, Isma.

That made Marro livid.

Now, listen here, SHADOW.

Marro lunged in retaliation, trying to pin down Skynx with his bulk. He aimed for the pouch where Nosks store most of their vital fluid, Lightblood, so that it would pop.

[thenotfakeskynx]

*as Skynx stomach/pouch ruptured, its stomach acid began to leak out as the creature body started to deflated and crumble on itself like a leaking ballon*

We HaVE MAde a miSSStake. We dOn'T FeeL ssSO not-BAd.

*the creature start fleeing one wobbly bendy legs, promptly crashing into everything in its path like a drunkard, its path marked by a trail of acid, blood, and chunks of things where it preferable to ignore the origin of*

[plumbers-brothers-warriors]

Skynx's Innards Out

Mario chokes on the stench of Skynx's spilled insides.

He stares at the corpse for a while, only stopping to remind Luugi that the beast has been felled.

... oh... gee, Marro, I know it was scary, but... poor bug...

I don't blame you, Luu' -- even I think I went a little... crazy... doing that to the thing.

After a little more staring, the brothers spent the rest of their day cleaning up all the mess, leaving the body of the Nosk.

Marro plans to sell it.

*After a while, you see that the spot where there was the corpse is empty, a trail of blood clearly going from it to a cave entry too small for you to go through*

*did someone take the corpse? Or was the creature not truly dead?*

[plumbers-brothers-warriors]

*Would you like a box in these trying time?*

📦

@thenotfakeskynx

Marro unpacks the box.

Nothing.

[thenotfakeskynx]

*Second box arrive*

[plumbers-brothers-warriors]

The Nosk's scream pierces Marro's... ears?

MAMMA MIA!

This creature was much taller than Marro -- taller than Luugi, even -- with the same amount of bulk in it's limbs. It's features were mostly blocked out by smoke -- wherever that had come from, he had no idea.

Four pairs of lavender eyes pierced through the smoke. The Nosk's four pairs of eyes.

LUUGI, GET DOWN! THERE IS A MONSTER IN OUR HOMESTEAD!

WHAT?!

S-S-SORRY MARRO, GOTTA GO!

Luugi ducks under a table like the coward he is.

Marro stands his ground and faces the Nosk head on.

What? You think I'm backing away too? Oh, no, no, no. You should be the one backing away.

Marro was clearly fixed on the common "Nosks are inherently evil" mindset.

One resssist, the other flee? The two type of prey we prefer.

*with that the creature lunges forward, its body contorting and twisting it every direction, allowing them to move with surprising speed and agility for such a large being

[plumbers-brothers-warriors]

The Nosk's lunge brushed against a chest of drawers, knocking over lots of things and breaking some.

One of the things broken was a picture frame depicting his mother, Isma.

That made Marro livid.

Now, listen here, SHADOW.

Marro lunged in retaliation, trying to pin down Skynx with his bulk. He aimed for the pouch where Nosks store most of their vital fluid, Lightblood, so that it would pop.

*as Skynx stomach/pouch ruptured, its stomach acid began to leak out as the creature body started to deflated and crumble on itself like a leaking ballon*

We HaVE MAde a miSSStake. We dOn'T FeeL ssSO not-BAd.

*the creature start fleeing one wobbly bendy legs, promptly crashing into everything in its path like a drunkard, its path marked by a trail of acid, blood, and chunks of things where it preferable to ignore the origin of*
