BEX, September 11, 7:26 p.m.
Hey hun. Will try and be on more tomorrow. Best writing time till steve comes back will probably be when Rhett is at daycare as he demands most of my time. Not that I mind, hes adorable. Lol I'm on phone at the moment debating if I want a bath or icecream. Heheheh.
SIGYN, today,
4:12 a.m.
Oh cool,
alrighty. I ended up crashing and falling asleep XD
BEX, 7:55 a.m.
Sounds like we
both needed it. Hehehe
Good morning! 🥰🥰
(8:40 a.m.) [sends
vid]
SIGYN, 8:52
a.m.
HIIIIIII
BEX
He got a baby
grand from the thrift store this morning. Just got home. Whew. Heheh
SIGYN
Awesome!
BEX
How is you today?
Sleep well? Good…or naughty dreams? Hehehe
SIGYN
Ohh yes
What I have
planned in main for Bash and Trent is horrifying, but the dreams are nice.
BEX
I bet they are.
Hehehe. Poor Trent.
SIGYN
Oh yeah. It
affects him so badly he considers breaking up with his sweeties
He decides
against it so don't worry!
BEX
Ohhh poor thing!
We must save him!
SIGYN
Gotta endanger
him first 😉
FAUSTUS
You two are
absolute lunatics.
BEX
True, cant save
if no danger. Lol
REBECCA
you think I like
that idea? No but it makes for a great story
FREYA
lunatics? Them?
Arent we all in a way?
TRENT
I hate it but it's a great story
GEORGE
we'll make things
right in the end
SEBASTIAN
If Trent can use the excuse of being just a
boy in love, it should work for others too, right?
TRENT
I think that's the main emotional conflict.
REBECCA
no, actually…it
doesn't. But it will be figured out in the end, I'm sure
PENRYN
Why doesn’t it?
NATE
It will! Bash has
the police in his pocket, but my father is friends with the DA!
CAT
no one hurts those we love. Ever
SEBASTIAN
gee, thanks
REBECCA
you hurt someone
Bash…that's not cool
PENRYN, Exaggerated American accent
Gosh and golly me, I must clutch my pearls!
SEBASTIAN
You hurt everyone lol
NATE
I think we've all
hurt people
REBECCA
it's a part of life to make mistakes and all
but not like that
PENRYN
Your parents sure
made a doozy of a mistake.
SEBASTIAN
Well, let's worry
about what a monster I am when we actually get to what a monster I am. For
right now, tacos!
*gestures to a
freshly set up taco bar*
CAT
oh boy! Tacos!
*goes to help herself*
LUCI wraps an
arm around Sebastian and walks with him to get tacos as well
REBECCA
thanks Bash
*goes to make a plate and chuckles when George tries to steal her taco she had just made*
no…get your
own.
GEORGE, playful
awww!
NATE
I made you one, George
FREYA has made a few and is trying it for the first time
this is good.
PENRYN
I call bullshit on the CAOS verse not having tacos. Tacos are not a strictly ~mortal~ food.
PIFFY
She's 21+ and lives in the United States. If she hasn't had a taco before, I feel like it must be deliberate.
PENRYN
Well, she does have an overbearing father. Maybe he prevented her from trying "exotic" foods like... the stuff everyone in Team Sigyn's headspace grew up eating...
GEORGE
thanks Nate.
*kisses his cheek and sits by him to eat*
FAUSTUS sniffs
dubiously
PENRYN
Now, he's at least in his 40's and has even less of an excuse.
Sebastian and Luci are Lady and the
Tramping a taco; it is very messy
GEORGE
eat more please
Nate. These are good for you in so many ways
REBECCA giggles and finishes 3 tacos
man that was good
CAT giggles and shakes head
you guys…Luci and Bash…so silly
NATE
Okay.
*Makes another tiny street taco, but
Trent takes it, stuffs it in his own mouth, and hands Nate a BIG GIANT
BURRITO!*
SEBASTIAN eats
the bits that fell out of his and Luci's taco with his hands
REBECCA
wow…you guys.
*giggles*
GEORGE
well guess you have to eat that one then Nate.
*smirks*
NATE
I can't argue with that, I guess
CAT
good….
*chuckles*
REBECCA
been a busy day
today. Nice to take some time and spend a bit together.
BEX
every time I
pick up the phone or the computer, rhett runs at me and demands attention. 😂😂😂😂😂
SIGYN
sounds like my
sister's chinchilla
NATE winks at
George as he stuffs the end of the burrito into his mouth
SIGYN
I had a great
day so far. Found canned coconut, canned mushroom, dried squid, frozen shrimp
SEBASTIAN
Oh, I wouldn't recommend—
LUCI
Let them find out
for themselves
FAUSTUS is primly
eating a burrito with a knife and fork
FREYA is covered in sauce as it drips down her fingers and hands from the burrito and giggles
this is good! Messy but good.
AKUMA
Top fifty things said on Illybrius and Orion's wedding night!
NATE grabs a fork
and just eats what he can of what's left of the burrito and then starts eating
what fell out with the fork
FREYA
thanks Trent!
*uses the wipes to clean up
with*
CAT notices the way Faustus eats his and snickers
always so proper, Priest?
PENRYN
You would be, too, if you wore those frilly white shirts. Do you know how much dry cleaning those things costs?
GEORGE has
managed to eat the rest of his food and not make to much of a mess
FAUSTUS
I happen to like having clean hands and
clothes, thank you
CAT
yea…says the man who was throwing ice with everyone else the other night.
*chuckles*
GEORGE
Naked.
*snorts*
FAUSTUS
And did the ice get me dirty or just wet?
FREYA giggles
who knows with what they put into some of the things they throw around.
PENRYN
Yes, but thrall doesn't get you dirty in that way. It gets you dirty in a completely different way.
PIFFY
Which could then be followed by the first way, but not necessarily.
CAT
yes, you got lucky too. Glamored and Luci and I had fun!
*smirks*
SEBASTIAN
Nate, George, and
I had fun too while glamored.
TRENT
How are you
healing?
SEBASTIAN
I'm perfectly
fine, Duckie.
Just a few big
Band-Aids, see?
REBECCA
it was an interesting night, that was for sure.
*smiles*
CAT
yea yea! But sometimes it best to let things
grow without glamor.
PENRYN
Oh, yes, let things grow for *checks notes* a day before you get madly jealous of anyone who pays attention to the person you've decided is now your forever person?
GEORGE winces
just make sure, next time, I don't go overboard.
SEBASTIAN
Ohhhh no. I'm not getting involved in all …
*waves hand*
this
George, you
didn't go overboard. Unlike a certain wimp, I didn't safe-word 😛
TRENT
Hey!
CAT
just because you
can take a lot doesn't make him a wimp.
TRENT
I have sensitive skin.
FREYA
yea, no magicity
juju…that stuff can be dangerous.
Sebastian and Nate roll their eyes.
PIFFY
Freya, you're hiveminding again.
CORRI
DIIIIID SOMEBODY SAY HIVEMIND? AND I'M NOT INVOLVED?! FOR SHAME!
TRENT
And I was fine
with George for the most part. I just don't do well with certain …instruments.
That was my bad.
I should have been more specific about what I wanted.
REBECCA
it can be though. The little witch has a point.
PIFFY
What's so "little" about her?
PENRYN
Her IQ.
LENA
ABLEIST!
PENRYN
Okay, but consider this:
*fart noise*
PIFFY
Briar is tiny, but we don't call him "little bartender". He'd fuck up all our drinks if we did.
SERLEINA
You shouldn't call the murderbait "tiny". Juuuust saying.
REBECCA
What if you get to a place where nothing is enjoyable unless you or
partner is glamored?
PIFFY
Rebecca, you sound like a PSA about the dangers of porn.
PENRYN
Ironic, considering Canon Rebecca masturbates to gay porn for hours in one number in season 4.
NATE
Yeah yeah yeah, she always ~has a point~ and I
never give a shit.
Let us have fun
without killing the buzz, please
TRENT
It's not habit-forming
And it shouldn't
cause memory loss either.
CAT
she was just saying…but meh.
PIFFY
Don't defend total misconceptions with, "But she was just saying".
SEBASTIAN
Maybe she should
eat a little more and yap a little less
NATE nods
TRENT
I've been meaning to ask, Lucifer, does it
work on you?
LUCI
Angels
self-actualize. Nothing works on me that I don't consciously or unconsciously
want to.
NATE
What if from now
on, Trent and I just use it on each other and Bash? Since we know we can handle
it. The rest of you don't need to sleep with us anymore.
GEORGE
wait…what?
REBECCA
excuse me?!
PENRYN
Why, did you fart?
SERLEINA
That's all she's been doing this episode.
NATE
You're excused
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
we don't need to
be anywhere that us or our talents aren't wanted.
REBECCA
I'm sorry…the fuck
you say? Whoever said your talents weren't wanted
GEORGE
I never said that
PENRYN
Well, Freya did,
and at least one of her shills backed her up, as per usual, sooooo
PIFFY
What is even her
problem? Is she the grand arbiter of who gets to use magic?
NATE
You, Freya, and
Cat made it pretty clear you think there's a problem with us using thrall.
George has some
kind of lingering issue because Trent used a safeword
GEORGE
I said it made me
a little bit uncomfortable because he used a safe word because I honestly
thought I HURT HIM! not that I had an issues with your gifts. That was me!
PIFFY, Time Out hands
Back the fuck up! Him using a safeword made you uncomfortable?! You expect me to take this complaint seriously?
REBECCA
I never said that
either. I merely suggested being careful. Magic of any kind comes with a price.
ERNEST
In my home magic
system, something of equal value of what you want must be lost forever, and
what you get will always fall short of what you want. That’s why miracles are
miracles; they require negligible Sacrifice compared with the result and don’t
come with Disappointment. So healing magic, for example, is almost never worth
it. But you don’t see me freaking out over Lucifer’s healing feathers, despite
him not being a god and therefore definitely not being able to use a
miracle.
POST-EDIT LUCIFER
Well, your
mileage may vary.
PENRYN
Aww, has someone
got ruffled feathers?
POST-EDIT LUCIFER
Hmph. In my
canon, or at least the version we’re using for this—
PENRYN
The Netflix show.
POST-EDIT LUCIFER
Right—angelic
healing is considered miraculous.
PENRYN
Then it comes
down to different understandings of magic.
PIFFY
And completely different conceptions of what a God is and how miracles work. Trying
to impose your magic rules on someone else’s magic rules is arrogant at best.
PENRYN
Also, to be completely fair, Sebastian, Trent, and Nathaniel would have zero problem sacrificing humans in order to use healing magic in Ernestverse.
TRENT
Georgie, I'm
fine. As I said,
NATE
Oh shut the fuck up about magic already! I
don't care about the stupid price
I just want to
have a little fun. And you girls always agree with Magic Sue about everything
CAT
here he goes…making it all about him again.
PIFFY
Seriously? That's what you're taking away from this?
PENRYN
Yeah, I mean, it's not like he got butthurt over one of his lovers using a safeword. George.
CAT
No one said that they didn't like it. It was a simple
question of what could happen if we all use it a lot.
PIFFY
It was not posed like a question; y'all were taking it as a given.
TRENT
Hey, little bug,
easy. Georgie, I'm honestly okay. I said it was
REBECCA
yes cause we
don't have it and want to know how it works and such cause we are curious
PIFFY
No, you were condemning, not curious.
TRENT
Catherine
Marianne Maddock, you back the hell off my man.
LUCI
Well, if you're
curious about it, I recommend asking directly rather than speculation.
It seems to have
upset everyone.
TRENT
Anyway, George, I
said it was my fault I wasn't specific enough, okay? You're fine, really.
REBECCA
it was asked as a
question! People here are so….they make it about them and then throw it back at
us. I am guilty of that too so don't anyone bite at me.
PIFFY
You put a question mark at the end, but it doesn't change that you made an assumption. The question you asked took for granted that it was habit-forming.
LUCI
"it can be
dangerous" is not a question
GEORGE nods
I
know that now, but I was really worried and still am a little cause when I'm
thralled, unless given specific directions, I go…somewhere else? If that makes
sense?
TRENT
You dissociate?
SEBASTIAN
Honestly, who
cares if it's dangerous or what the price is? What have any of us got to lose?
GEORGE
I don't know. It's
like I'm there, but the magic let's another part of me out. Like one where it
doesn't care what happens as long as it is out and it's more dominant then I am.
I only stopped cause you safeworded
PENRYN
If memory serves, Luci actually had to go in and stop you.
PIFFY
But what a nice excuse.
SERLEINA, holding an Averna-shaped effigy that shoots flames from its mouth
IT WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING... HAPPENED TO YOU!
REBECCA
ummm…our lives.
PENRYN
Let’s be real,
Rebecca, no-one here cares if you lose your life except maybe Trent.
GEORGE
I wouldn't be able
to live with myself if I severely injured or killed either Nate or Trent.
PENRYN
You're forgetting we have an angel in the cast who can heal people and bring them back from the brink of death if he feels like it.
TRENT
The important
thing to me is that you did stop when that happened. As long as you can stop
when a safeword is invoked, it's fine. No more knives, though, please.
PENRYN
TRENT SHOULD NOT
HAVE TO REPEATEDLY REASSURE GEORGE ABOUT TRENT HAVING SAFEWORDED. THIS IS NOT
OKAY!
SEBASTIAN
omg you guys are
so fucking dramatic. If that was likely to happen, Luci would have said
something, right?
LUCI nods
PENRYN
Yeah, we should definitely trust the guy named Lucifer. Although, let's not forget that Freya's magic is, in her 'verse, also gifted by her version of the Devil, so it's like "my devil's magic is less harmful than your devil's magic!" even though one uses their magic for pleasure and the other uses their magic to... burn stuff.
GEORGE
then explain my total loss of control. I barely
stopped when he used a safe word. I DIDN'T want to…
PENRYN
Because your writer wanted some unnecessary fucking drama. Next question.
PIFFY
George, take some fucking responsibility for yourself, huh?
PENRYN
Yeah, like that time you planted dead rats in Chae Won's kitchen for Nathaniel.
NATE
Because clearly
part of you WANTED to hurt Trent. It works based on your subconscious desires,
doesn't it?
SEBASTIAN
I still think they're trying to make this into
more than it is. It ain't that deep, y'all.
REBECCA
we are just curious
PIFFY
No, stop. This is approaching gaslighting.
PENRYN
"Approaching" gaslighting.
PIFFY
Okay, it is gaslighting. That's just not a word I like to use lightly.
REBECCA
and if George had some
worries I think it valid he be able to talk about them without y'all trying to
make him feel bad for asking
PENRYN
NO. You’re the
ones making Team Trent feel bad for having those abilities in the first
place. If George is that worried, he should take Luci aside and go, "Hey, I have a Concern." And isn't Cat the one who started this conversation?
PIFFY
She was the one who first objected to the magic use, but then George derailed everything to be about how his actions aren't his responsibility because magic.
AKUMA, taking notes
"Because... magic."
TRENT
I'm trying to
reassure him, kitten
REBECCA
not you, Love.
*smiles over at Trent*
SEBASTIAN
I liked George
enthralled. He was a lot of fun.
NATE
I love you either
way, George
PENRYN
I’d love him if
his writer had any fucking clue how to play him canonically and not like a
whiny little BITCH.
CAT
fun, yes. But also respect that he has some
fears about himself when he is so…not that he's scared of you or whatever you
can do. Him.
PIFFY
That's not even what you guys brought up, Cat. You guys were straight-up, "This shit's dangerous. It's habit-forming. It makes him dissociate." None of that was specified by the person actually writing that magic. You don't get to just push your own unnegotiated magic rules onto somebody else's writing.
GEORGE
I do tend to have
some underlying tendencies to work on it it has nothing to do that I am afraid
of the glamor cause I'm not. Not really. Mostly me
SEBASTIAN
That's silly. Why
would anyone be afraid of themselves? Who knows you and your capabilities
better than your own self?
*throws Cat an
eye roll at being moralized at*
LUCI cradles
Bash's head
TRENT, gently
Georgie, do you want to talk about what you're trying to work through?
GEORGE
cause there are parts of myself that I don't
really like to think about or acknowledge, that's why
PENRYN
Too bad, go to
therapy and stop fucking whining.
SEBASTIAN
That makes no sense, but whatever floats your
boat, I guess.
TRENT, with a slight look of thought
Georgie? I don't want to upset you, but are you still a little
jealous of me?
GEORGE
what? No!
*looks at Trent*
you've experienced my Dom side…but that was a fraction of how it could be…and knowing that, well…its scary in a way
PENRYN
You know, George, Nathaniel and Sebastian have never had a problem with it, and Nathaniel is your usual lover whereas Sebastian and Trent were just... what, one-offs? Two-offs, maybe?
PIFFY
Flings.
PENRYN
Oh, good idea. Security!
SERLEINA flings George into the rubbish bin
Hey, can we talk about how Jockstrap the Grouch is being all like, "I'M DANGEROUS, BELLA!" at a guy who has definitely killed people before?
TRENT ruffles his hair affectionately
It was pretty hot. I'll send you a list of hard limits
later and we can work around them, okay?
GEORGE nods and chuckles
works for me sweet cheeks
TRENT
Sweet cheeks?
That's new. I like it.
NATE rests head
on Bash's shoulder and gossips quietly with him
TRENT
We should throw a
dinner party sometime.
SEBASTIAN
Yeah, that'll be
a change from all these brunch parties.
CAT
dinner party sounds fun! Like…fancy or just
informal
GEORGE chuckles softly and climbs out of the bin
glad you do
FAUSTUS
Can the Beverly
Hillbillies here pull off fancy? That would be a sight.
TRENT
Hey!
NATE
Much like Freya,
I prefer Blackwood when he's not talking.
SEBASTIAN
Agreed.
BEX
dinner time.
I'll be on once I get Rhett bathed. And I I thought Nate liked Freya a bit now?
Hehehe
SIGYN
he kind of
does, kind of doesn't. With Xander constantly drooling all over her, he doesn't
think she needs any more attention
BEX
Xander only drools
over her to pick on her and Faustus both. Hehehe
He thinks its
funny…watching the proper High Priest get agitated
SIGYN
He's a silly
willy
BEX
He is! But a
wicked one. Hehe
PIFFY
That doesn't change the circumstances. If Nate thinks she's getting too much attention, it doesn't really matter why, does it? Also, good to know that Xander is in grade school.
PENRYN
To be fair, Nathaniel is the type to express affection for a girl by pulling her hair and running, so...
https://www.tiktok.com/@scarluxia/video/6875497322558606597
SIGYN
Faustus just
stopped reacting to Xander's antics because he doesn't feel like being agitated
and she can (& should) take care of herself
BEX, 3:23 p.m.
Freya stopped
reacting cause she remembers not to. Hehehe she is learning. Lol
PENRYN
She's a big kid now, BOOP!
BEX
Ok dinner time.
Be back in a bit. ❤❤❤
SEBASTIAN (3:42
p.m.)
Did I tell you
guys Lucifer got me an audition at a drag club?
FAUSTUS (4:20
p.m.)
You, a drag queen?
SEBASTIAN
You should
consider it! It's a lot of fun.
MAZE (4:29
p.m.)
I actually have a
question, for Freya. Suck it, Nate. So, can you control all fire or just yours?
BEX, 5:10 p.m.
Back for a bit.
Rhett goes down in an hour. Here's hoping without me. Hehehe
REBECCA
that's really
interesting Bash. I know you will be good at it as you already dance amazing
FREYA pauses and thinks about it a moment
I have been able to control fire that is not mine at
times. Not every time though. I guess with more practice I can do more. Why do
you ask?
FAUSTUS
See, Nathaniel,
that is how people with manners respond to fun facts about their friends.
MAZE
Curiosity. So if
I shot a flamethrower off, could you work with that?
SERLEINA
LET'S FIND OUT! Hold on, let me get the RoastGod 3000 back from my cousin....
NATE, under his breath
blow me
FAUSTUS
No, thank you.
Trent, isn't that your cue?
TRENT
No, it's
George's. I don't like going down on men.
(6:18 p.m.) FREYA's eyes furrow slightly and she chuckles
Maybe….depends on why you would
want to do such a thing.
CAT
Boys…
*rolls her
eyes*
MAZE
Because I can and
it's free
TRENT
ew, giiirls
ILLYBRIUS
Yeah, I felt that way when I got into my designated het ship, too.
AKUMA
Standing RIGHT HERE.
ILLYBRIUS
Nyeh, cooties!
FREYA
What's free? What
are you wanting to burn?
MAZE
I like destruction
FREYA
My gift is not for that purpose Maze.
*eyes furrow*
I only use it in self-defense, or in the
defense of those I love or care for.
MAZE yawns
loudly
PIFFY
This alleged
Satanist is such a little goodie two-shoes. “Oh, my power is only for the
defense of me and mine.” What—what is your religion again? Because you act like a conservative Christian.
LUCI
She probably
wanted to see if you can deflect flames thrown at you.
FREYA
Why would—
*blinks*
REBECCA
That might be a
neat way to train. Get more control?
FREYA
I have control….Faustus
has been teaching me.
CAT
Indeed?
*raises her eyebrow playfully*
SEBASTIAN
I'm willing to
bet Fausty's teaching is all carrot and no stick.
FREYA
What does that mean?
*tilts her head, having
never heard that phrase before*
TRENT
All treat and no…
punishment
FAUSTUS
Oh, there's been
plenty of punishment.
NATE
I would have said
all treat and no trick, but I'm sure she turns plenty of those too.
SEBASTIAN sniggers
FREYA blushes and nods
Plenty…His teachings are very…persuasive, and vast. I remember….
She looks over at Nate and glares, before remembering not to rise to the bait and turns back to the girls.
He is a good teacher, and his lessons, stick.
REBECCA
yea, I can see that.
*giggles*
GEORGE
But why on earth
would Maze want to use a flamethrower on you? simply because it's fast and
powerful?
NATE, to Bash
did you know she knew what turning tricks meant?
SEBASTIAN
I'm sure Luci told her, he's friends with
plenty of ladies of the night.
MAZE
Jake, do you know
what a demon is?
GEORGE sighs at the name
Yes, I know what a demon is…
MAZE
Then why would
you ask such a silly-ass question?
GEORGE
because it
doesn't make sense. What if you hurt her? Or us, for that matter?
MAZE
Jake, come on.
You just said you
know what a demon is.
ORION
Right there with
you.
PIFFY
Whatever is wearing George's skin needs to eat a dictionary and some common sense.
CAT
I want to see it now, actually. Now that Maze brought it up
*snickers*
FAUSTUS
Let's not.
NATE
Killjoy.
FAUSTUS
Shameless sex
addict.
SEBASTIAN
What's the point
of shame? You can't do anything fun if you're always ashamed.
REBECCA
Ok you two…behave.
No flamethrowers in here Maze.
MAZE
You know I don't
take orders from you, right?
CAT
But she didn't
say anything about other forms of fire, Maze.
GEORGE
Cat!
NATE
ew, George, why
do you care?
GEORGE
because she is a human being, Nate and it's called common decency.
PIFFY
Says the man who canonically planted rats in someone's restaurant to get them in trouble with the health inspector. Also, why do you expect demons to have common decency?
DREPANON
That's speciesist.
DESMODA
No, it isn't. Shut the fuck up.
DREPANON, standing on soapbox
No. I'm taller than you.
PIFFY
Drepanon, you are already taller than her without the soapbox. And not knowing why a demon wouldn't have "common decency" is why I told him to eat a dictionary.
DESMODA, standing on three soapboxes stacked on top of each other
And now he's not taller than me.
SERLEINA pulls out the box on the bottom of the stack.
GEORGE
if it was Cat or Rebecca or you and Trent, I would be
just as put out about the idea, deff more!
NATE makes a face
GEORGE kisses his cheek
Stop being silly. I would do the same bitching for you if someone
tried to do something like that to you.
NATE
You equate me to her?
Ugh.
PENRYN
Hey, remember
that part in canon we won't shut up about, where George was willing to plant rats in a restaurant owned
by the nicest guy in the world just so that Nathaniel could get the restaurant
shut down? Because George cared more about doing Nathaniel’s bidding than about
any sort of moral code?
TRENT
Little bug, I'm
sure he means he'd be the most upset if someone was talking about hurting you
GEORGE
Do you want Maze to shoot fire at you then?
PENRYN
Actually, I'm pretty sure that would turn him on. Why do you ask?
PIFFY
This is so uncomfortable in conjunction with how many characters are acting like schoolchildren. George sounds like every teacher trying and failing to get a bully to show some compassion.
DESMODA
Compassion? What's compassion? Is--
PIFFY
Something you eat.
DESMODA
I thought so. Please, don't get compassion on my pastries. It makes them taste funny.
DREPANON
And it completely wrecks her recipe for demon fruit salad.
ERNEST
That sounds crunchy.
PIFFY
Of course, a lot of demons from his verse are made of metal.
SERLEINA
CRONCH, CRONCH!
GEORGE
Or whatever else she can come with? Do you not want me to bitch about when she talks about it or god forbid tries?
*nods at Trent*
Exactly what he said.
NATE
She can do whatever she wants as long as it means people stop eating Freya's pussy in front of us all.
*Takes Bash's hand and storms out*
TRENT grimaces
at George and follows them
CAT
Whoa…someone
pissed in his Wheaties.
PIFFY
I think his name is George?
DESMODA
We can never be sure, though. For the longest time, I thought his name was Geoff.
GEORGE sighs and
gets up to follow
TRENT pops back
Seriously, guys?
CAT
Guess that's what happens when you don't get laid for a few days.
*giggles*
PIFFY
WHAT THE FUCK?!
REBECCA
ummm…it's only been two days, Cat. Nate isn't
like that. Behave!
CAT
yea, and Nate…aww
nevermind. He stormed out with Bash. did none of you notice that.
TRENT
George, I
wouldn't try to follow him. He's disgusted with you right now because he thinks
you actually care about someone he dislikes, as much or more than you care
about him
CAT
He's being a brat
is what he's being.
DESMODA
Literally everybody in this scene is being a brat. Especially Serleina. My ass hurts.
SERLEINA
That sounds like an iss-U, not an iss-ME.
GEORGE
CAT! STOP IT!
*glares at her as his fists ball*
And that's the STUPIDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!
PIFFY
You've just proved her point, George.
TRENT
Georgie?
GEORGE, really upset and frustrated
I am so tired that my opinion has to match his all the time.
PIFFY
No, but they have to match the hivemind's.
GEORGE
I am NOT him. I have a voice. I should be able to speak my mind
PIFFY
You mean, speak your hivemind.
GEORGE
without feeling the need to take them back once I've said them. Whether it be about Rebecca, Freya, Cat or anyone else in this room! If I cared more for anyone else in this room then Nate, then I WOULD BE EATING THEIR PUSSY! But I'm not!
*crosses his arms and humphs*
AKUMA, playing violin loudly
Sorry, can't hear you over my PITY MEEEEEEEE
SERLEINA, louder than Akuma's violin
Aww, Georgie. Do you need someone to eat your bussy?
AKUMA; record scratch
What the fuck?
SERLEINA
What? Does Illybrius not--
AKUMA
THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
PIFFY
I am especially impressed by Akuma's ability to perform a record scratch on a violin. That takes true skill.
PENRYN
Oh no, George has been
replaced by a particularly whiny Dusk.
PIFFY
Ah, so that's what's wearing his skin! Should have known.
DESMODA
I thought he was a Replica, like Akumione.
PIFFY
Man, I miss Replihov.
SERLEINA
He Was Baby.
PIFFY
And he had a better reason to be than any of the characters here!
REBECCA
Whoa…ok….George…ummmm…??
What just happened?
AKUMA
Oh, I derailed your derailment and made it all about ME!
PIFFY
She's really good at that!
AKUMA bows
Thank you!
TRENT
Well, be that as
it may, if you hadn't felt the need to stand up for someone you know your
boyfriend hates, he wouldn't have stormed off. I'm not telling you to apologize
or take it back. I'm just telling you what he's probably thinking.
GEORGE
Fine, let Maze burn her, or anyone else in this room!
PIFFY, after watching That One Episode
Yeah, I'm pretty sure George would unironically let Maze burn anyone in this room if it would make Nathaniel happy.
GEORGE
I am done talking about it and he has no
call to hate her or anyone else nor get pissy every time someone ventures a
different opinion.
PENRYN
Hey, remember that time you got pissy with Rebecca for showing up to Nathaniel's party to save his life? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
PIFFY
I'm pretty sure, at this point, Canon George would have set Freya on fire already.
CAT
Ok, take it down
a notch….please…
SERLEINA breaks a soapbox over Cat's head
NO!
TRENT
You saying he has
no call to hate her isn't goin— No, actually, you're right, George. Say what
you feel. Because then he'll be all mine again because he knows I'll side with
him against someone he doesn't like without pretending their existence matters
in some way.
PENRYN
What's funny is that Trent is being more like Canon George than George.
BEX
my first
reaction to that reply was "well…then he's an idiot!" *giggles* But I
couldn't have George write that. Though, I get where that dislike comes from,
Maze did start that discussion and George doesn't like the idea of anyone hurt….heck,
he gets nervous when he thinks HE'S hurt someone. 😛
SIGYN
yeah, I know ❤️ Nate is mad because he wants
someone to care about either only him, or care about him at the expense of
everyone else. He and Bash have that in common and that's why they're off
talking (and just talking) together
GEORGE
Maze started this discussion, not me! She asked a simple question and it devolved into this…I merely said not to hurt anyone cause you KNOW how I feel about that.
PIFFY
You're actually perfectly okay with that if it makes Nate happy. That's how Canon You feels about that.
PENRYN (EARLY 2022 EDIT)
Oh no, Piffy, don't say that, Bex will accuse you of telling her how to write her characters. Wah.
PIFFY
He's a canon!
AKUMA
WEH.
PIFFY
And he's being OOC!
AKUMA
WIH!
PIFFY
This isn't an interpretation thing! This is a directly-contradicting-the-text thing!
AKUMA flops down
UWAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
*kicks her feet and wails*
*gets up and dusts herself off*
That was my interpretation of George.
PIFFY
Thank you, Akuma, that was lovely.
GEORGE
You were
on my side for a moment there….and suddenly you're not. Where is your voice
then?
SIGYN
it is
COMPLETELY stupid and irrational, but he feels betrayed when George stands up
for Freya or is concerned about her.
BEX
he almost said
something awful. Lol
I can't
remember now cause when I erased it from my reply, it literally left my brain.
lol 😛
TRENT
I don't know if
you recall, but Maze was pro-burning-the-witch, which, by the way, fun fact,
witches weren't actually historically burned at the stake
And I don't need
a voice of my own. I have a girlfriend and a boyfriend who love me and depend
on me to be on their side ¯\_ʕツʔ_/¯
GEORGE
Pro-burning? Does she really think she could?
PENRYN
Well, she's Lucifer's personal bodyguard, and it's outright stated that she's his best friend, and implied that she's his highest demon, so... Yes. I do think she could.
PIFFY
After all, Freya's supposed to be a novice witch.
DESMODA
But she doesn't know her own strength, tee-hee.
PIFFY
Oh, fuck that! Skill beats talent. Somebody who has worked at being good at this for literal millennia is going to be better at it than someone who is still trying to figure out how her powers work. George is shilling Freya's powers again.
GEORGE
Doesn't change the fact that the idea of hurting
someone, ANYONE in this place is a horrible idea.
PENRYN
Your existence is a horrible idea. Not Canon George's existence, he's quite lovely. Just yours.
TRENT
She's a demon. Demons are more powerful than witches.
PIFFY
Ah! Thank you, Trent.
TRENT
Hey, quick question.
Why is it that
when people talk about Freya's magic, it's so sparkly and special and amazing,
but when people talk about Nate's and my ability, it's scary and comes with a
price and probably has disastrous consequences even though it really doesn't?
PENRYN
And technically they're both devil-given powers, just by different interpretations of-- wait, I said that earlier.
TRENT
I don't mind
double standards that benefit me, but this one doesn't, so I'm going to call it
out. And now I'm going to go make sure my boyfriend and my best friend aren't
fucking. Peace.
GEORGE pauses a moment, thinking
Freya doesn't use her magic on me.
PIFFY
Isn't the fear that she will use her powers on y'all the stated reason for everyone kissing her ass?
GEORGE shrugs
Hers is scary…just as yours and Nates is, but I don't have to worry about hers because I have no interest in her…or the Priest.
*sighs as Trent walks out*
PIFFY
Hers is scary, but in a ~good way~ 🙄 But I don't have to worry about hers 🙄 because Author Fiat!
CORRI
Sir, that's illegal. I am the only author allowed to fiat.
PIFFY
If George's boundary is that he's fine with magic as long as it isn't used on him, he should have said that.
REBECCA
Well…that went
well
PENRYN
Neither did your mum aborting you, and here we all are. And I do mean Canon Rebecca.
FREYA
Can't believe you want to burn me.
*smirks faintly*
Really?
AKUMA flicks Illybrius's lighter
🎵 The Sue, the Sue, the Sue is on fire
ORION joins in
🎵 We don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn
SERLEINA and ILLYBRIUS
🎵 BURN, MOTHERFUCKER, BURN!
PIFFY
Isn't she more of a Father-fucker?
ILLYBRIUS
. . . I sincerely hope you're alluding to Faustus and not her dad.
PIFFY
Yes. Yes, I am.
From just
outside:
NATE
—because I don't want—
SEBASTIAN
—re right, you shouldn't have to—
TRENT
Okay, guys, come on. He's a nice guy and he's
got a big heart.
NATE
Yeah, a little
bit too big.
SEBASTIAN
Big mouth too.
NATE
He knows I can't fucking stand that little
twat, he's such a traitor.
SEBASTIAN
I know how you
feel, man.
TRENT
Guys! Look, I
don't like her either, but Little Bug, your Georgie feels like you're treating
him like he's supposed to be some emotionless teddy bear. Do you really want to
lose him?
NATE
Why not? He clearly doesn't love me as much as
I thought he did.
TRENT
Nathaniel…
SEBASTIAN
He's got a point, Duckie.
all (Bex-side) hears and it just makes
George angrier.
PIFFY: 🙄
MAZE
Pretty sure the only one in my 'space who
doesn't want to burn you or see you burn is your boyfriend.
FREYA
Wow…I felt that.
*smirks a bit again*
PIFFY
Wow, she's acknowledging the hivemind?
CORRI
Yes, and using ZOMGEMPATHY as an excuse. Akuma did the same thing to feel my pregnancy in one arc.
AKUMA
No, the inverse of that. I didn't want you to know I was pregnant and I was freaking out because you're an empath.
ILLYBRIUS
Come on, guys, who can remember that shit? It was, what, 13-14 years ago?
AKUMA
Reading is free, and time isn't real.
SERLEINA
YEAH, GO READ THE SCRIPTS, BROTHER.
SEBASTIAN
Us going back in
there isn't going to do anything except cause more conflict.
NATE
okay seriously,
we're not even in the same room as her and I still want to punch her fucking
lights out.
GEORGE
I shouldn't have to apologize for having thoughts of my own.
PIFFY
They aren't your own, though.
CORRI
Your writer has her hand up your butt. Trust me, I would know.
GEORGE
The next time you, Maze or Xander threatens something, Imma
just keep my mouth shut. See what they think of that then…oxymorons.
PIFFY
Did— did— did he
call them oxymorons? Also I’m very, very tired of her brushing off other
characters have a feeling she doesn’t like by going, "oh there’s a
squirrel" or "oh they haven’t gotten laid recently." "Oh,
they are hormonal." It’s really delegitimizing.
PENRYN
And hypocritical,
considering that George is whining about not being "allowed" to have
his own thoughts and feelings.
PIFFY
ALSO, HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT AN "OXYMORON" IS!
TRENT pops his head in
We're just gonna be a couple more minutes.
SERLEINA
Oh, just say you'll be gone for the balance of the day. George will understand.
PIFFY
Does he think it means a moron with more oxygen?
DESMODA
Maybe he thinks it means a moron who's hooked on oxycodone?
AKUMA
HOOKED ON DRRRRUUUUGGGGS~ WORKED FOR ME!
DESMODA
Shut up and go drink your cocaine, Akuma.
AKUMA
No, this one's cooler water. It probably has oxy in it.
PIFFY
No-one's ever quite sure!
TRENT pops back out
So what,
are you two going to go hook up now since you suddenly have so much in common?
GEORGE goes to
get a drink and comes back, pops the top with his teeth and drains half of it
AKUMA
Oh no, he got the cooler soda!
DESMODA
"Oh no", what a tragic "accident".
PIFFY
Opening a pop bottle with your teeth is so uncomfortable.
CAT
George? You don't…careful. Not so much so fast.
PIFFY
You don't know what's in that! No-one knows!
ORION
It's carbonated youko blood today.
AKUMA spits out her boba.
FIEND! You know I hate that stuff!
ORION
Akuma, do you know what a demon is?
AKUMA
Yes, it's a very kind and sweet and considerate person who never wants to see anyone get hurt OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT A FUCKING DEMON IS!
ORION
No, no, a fucking demon is completely different.
ILLYBRIUS grabs Akuma's drink
Yoink.
MAZE
Are they your
thoughts, though? Or do certain writers just really need everyone to love
Freya?
REBECCA
That's potent stuff! George, slow it down.
NATE immediately runs back in
George?!
GEORGE
I don't love Freya! I just don't like the idea
of anyone getting hurt…regardless of who or what they are. Would you people
let Maze or anyone else hurt me?
PENRYN
Yes.
DESMODA
Yes.
ILLYBRIUS
Yes.
AKUMA
Yes.
SERLEINA
I'm good either way.
PIFFY
George doesn't want anyone to get hurt, except Chae Won, the best person in the world.
NATE
Of course I
wouldn't want Maze to hurt you, but if she was going to hurt someone you hated,
if you actually ever hated anyone, I wouldn't care because YOU are more
important to me than some rando!
My loyalty is to
YOU, George, not to some stray bitch picked out from the pound!
GEORGE
Just it, Nate. The only one I have ever really hated was Rebecca…and solely for the way she treated YOU!
*looks over at Rebecca and shrugs, before looking back at Nate*
But somehow…we made THAT work…
*hics*
PIFFY
How is he that drunk already? It's been like five seconds!
ORION
Carbonated youko blood. With oxy.
*beat*
Moron.
NATE
Be mad at me all
you want, George, maybe I deserve it, but please, please don't hurt yourself.
Don't go on a bender.
GEORGE
I'm not mad AT you…I'm mad with you!
PENRYN
I don't think that means what you think it means. If you were mad with him, you'd be angry about the thing he is angry about, with him. Not scolding him for being angry.
DESMODA
Notice how George took a drink of something-- shut up, Onion-- and one of his shills was like, "oh no, George!" and Nathaniel came running back in? Bex did that to get attention to George.
PIFFY
And then when Nathaniel comes back in, George just yells at him some more.
DESMODA
Yes, and whenever Nathaniel goes on a bender, Rebecca's all like, "oh he's just doing it for attention."
PIFFY
But George takes one sip and it's a crisis.
GEORGE
You get so uptight whenever I say something that you don't agree with and it's not just about….little witchy over there.
PENRYN
She's taller than you.
PIFFY, allegedly to the tune of My Little Pony theme song
My little witchy, my little witchy, aaaaaaa~~~
GEORGE
You were a little frustrated when I started liking Trent, you got mad at me because I said something snotty about Rebecca a few times…it seems like I can't have thoughts of my own sometimes.
PENRYN
We've already been over the fact that they're not your own thoughts.
GEORGE sighs softly
Nate, I LOVE you!! I am always on your side, nothing will ever change that.
PIFFY
That's gaslighting!
PENRYN
If you were "always" on his side, you would never side with anyone he dislikes.
PIFFY
Such as, you know, Freya.
GEORGE
But I do have thoughts of my own…
DESMODA
You misspelled "thots".
GEORGE
and sometimes, they don't always agree with yours. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing. We are all different from each other.
PIFFY
I have a hard time telling Cat, George, and Rebecca apart when they're only using their initials in the raw chat log.
GEORGE
Would you want me if I simply just agreed with everything you said? Honestly?
ERNEST
That is why Nathaniel likes you. I may not be able to fuck a yes-man, but I am not Nate.
NATE
Ugh, why does everyone call her "little witch"? She's not that little. She's a grown ass sheltered spoiled brat her father should have killed.
*Storms back
out*
GEORGE
thank you for proving my point…
PIFFY
What point is he proving there? That you're always on his side? Because no. Go directly to Fail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
GEORGE sighs again
He didn't hear a
word I said…
SEBASTIAN pops his head in
To answer your question, with another question, why WOULDN'T he want
someone who always agrees with him and unconditionally supports him?
Actually, he
heard two words you said and that's why he's gone again
PIFFY
Sebastian, hiveminding, for shame!
POST-EDIT SEBASTIAN, cheerfully
I think we've established that I don't have any.
CAT
umm…because that
would make him a robot, a mindless idiot…
SEBASTIAN
Too bad. I agreed
with him and he's certainly a lot happier with me right now than with any of
you, so …
ERNEST
My problem with yes-men isn't that they're idiots, it's that they keep information from you that you wouldn't like to hear. That's gotten me pulped before.
PIFFY
Only way to disable that kind of god for longer than a few months, or in Ernest's case, a few days, is to grind them up and encase them in concrete.
DESMODA, deadpan
Yum.
PIFFY
Good ol' regeneration from any injury.
REBECCA
Sorry, but I know Trent and I have differences of opinion a lot of the time, but we try not to let it keep us from understanding each other.
PENRYN
HAHA SPOILER ALERT
REBECCA
I LOVE that he can speak his mind about any given thing, and I can as well and we meet in the middle somewhere.
PIFFY
Do you, though? Or do you just talk about meeting in the middle?
REBECCA
He knows I always have his back, as well as his heart, but he is not me, just
as I am not him. I wouldn't want him to be completely like me either…I love him
for who he is…faults and all.
ILLYBRIUS
Including the "fault" of him banging Nathaniel without you in the room?
PIFFY
Rebecca, you sound like you just opened a book of platitudes that you are quoting by rote without understanding them. *cough, cough* Theory of mind *cough*
I struggle with theory of mind, too, sometimes. People are just sometimes literally incomprehensible to me. But you don't see me using that as an excuse to be a jerk.
PENRYN
In fact, you try very hard not to be a jerk. Not that you really have to try, because you're a naturally compassionate person. But not being able to comprehend where someone else is coming from isn't a reason to shove your POV down their throat like George keeps doing.
TRENT
I don't remember
him being frustrated when you started liking me, though, George, going back to
what you said earlier.
CAT coughs
manipulator…
*coughs again, meaning Bash*
PENRYN
Yes, he's a manipulator, but he's also right. Nathaniel is happier with the guy who agrees with him than the guy trying to guilt-trip and gaslight him.
PIFFY
And honestly, why wouldn't he be?
PENRYN
Also, Sebastian doesn't agree with Nathaniel for hivemind reasons. Sebastian agrees with Nathaniel because Sebastian has also been on the receiving end of people acting like he's in the wrong for having personal likes and dislikes regarding other people. Of course, he "likes" Trent and "dislikes" everybody else, but still.
PIFFY
Real Princess Tutu, season 2, kind of stuff.
PENRYN
That's his favorite anime, unsurprisingly.
GEORGE
well, he was…I can read from his body language.
PIFFY holds out hand
Are you godmoding? Sir, that's illegal.
GEORGE
He was unsure for a briefest moment and
surprised…
SEBASTIAN, re: Cat calling him a manipulator
I'm a lawyer.
It's in the job description. Why don't you ask your good friend Rebecca?
REBECCA
oh bite me
TRENT
For the briefest moment? Georgie, I'm sorry,
but that doesn't translate to long-term upset. He's fine with you liking me,
and he's been fine with me liking you.
SEBASTIAN
Ooh, you liked it
so much the first time that now you want more? 😉
TRENT
Bash, no.
PIFFY
Bash, yes!
BEX, 7:26 p.m.
hate to end it
here like this…but Rhett is still screaming his head off. least tomorrow he
will be at daycare. Hehehe
SIGYN
noooooo
BEX
I
knoooowwwww!!
PIFFY, 🙄
Can't just say, "I need to take space for the moment".
SEBASTIAN
Well, you girls have fun with your slumber
party where you all coo about how awesome the widdwe bitch is and how awful we
all are. I'm going to go have some fun with Nate and… Trent.
TRENT 😳
REBECCA
the hell you are!
*takes Trent's
hand and looks up at him*
GEORGE growls at
Bash and goes to find Nate
PIFFY
Did you just growl at someone?
PENRYN
Bex's main OC, who doesn't appear yet, is a wolf shifter, so growling and head-tilting are probably that character's habits.
PIFFY
I have fox bois and I don't make everyone else gekker!
PENRYN
Yes, but you know how to write distinct characters.
CAT
super fun night
guys….
FREYA
wow…yea…I'm out too!
*takes Faustus's hand and
looks up at him as she exits*
BRIARPHONE
Wow, the passive-aggression. I can feel it from here.
AKUMA
Ooh, ooh!
BEX
Try and be back
once I get him to sleep. Cant have him getting sick again. Ick! See you soon
hun! ❤❤❤❤
TRENT pulls his hand away
I'm so sorry, babygirl, really, I am, but those two are both prone
to self-destruction and I don't want anything to happen to them. I promise, I
won't let Bash touch me in any kind of improper way.
You have your
girls and also… you're kind of friends with Freya too, and that's a little
awkward given the situation. I'll be back when I know they're safe
REBECCA goes and
sits up to wait. Hoping things work out for all concerned
SIGYN
oooooff… Hey so
is Rhett ok?
BEX
yea he just
cried so hard earlier when I put him down the first time that he puked a
little. He's fine. We cuddling
PENRYN
Uhhhhh you should take your baby to the doctor if that's happening.
SIGYN
aww
BEX
He's used to daddy
putting him down I guess.
SIGYN
yyyyeaaaahhh, I
have the same problem trying to get Lucius to take a nap
TRENT strides over to George
Hey. I'm just going to be really honest with you right now.
Part of the reason Nathaniel fell for you is because he saw you as someone
who's always there for him, and I mean, always, no matter what, come what may.
He has this bad habit of seeing anyone who's not 100% with him is therefore
against him. He and Bash have that in common. I'm not going to say you did
anything wrong, because objectively, you're a really good guy. I don't really
want my oldest friend to be the one giving him what he needs right now.
Don't get me wrong, Bash is a great friend and lawyer…
*drops his voice to a whisper*
But I really, really don't want Nathaniel dating him. I'm afraid of what will happen to you if Bash decides you're in his way.
Next!
