Interesting Iscribble RP

Todd: Y-You can't just tell me that I need to sit here and let him get AWAY with it! D8>

Key: *seems to get a bit louder, emotion creeping back into her voice* You can't do anything to him, Todd... You know what'll happen if you do..!

Todd: *hugs her tightly again, on the bed. He was rendered silent from this conclusion - that Altodd could do whatever he wanted with Key, and if Todd stood up for her, HE would get punished*

Key: *hugs him back this time. she knew she was safe with him... she knew now that she wasn't going to last without him (why she went off with ALtodd was completely beyond her now). her voice seemed to gain more energy the more she thought about losing Todd, or watching him suffer because of her--no. he can't* ...I-I don't... want you to end up broken like me... please, Todd... please don't go after him... please...

Todd: *lets out an annoyed sigh* ... fine... I won't. But... just... please. Avoid him from now on.

Key: *laughs half-heartedly* trust me, I won't...

Todd: *hugs her tightly again. He worried about her. What apparently had happened was, to him, his own failure. Because he wasn't there for her. He should've suspected something when she was missing for all that time. He should have gone to look for her*

Key: *buries her face in Todd's shoulder, hugging him tightly. Why, why did she ever think of leaving him? How did that absurd idea ever get into her head? Even when he was losing his memory, he knew he loved her--she was that important to him? It made her unfaithfulness look so much worse... she deserved to be punished the way she was, for lying, for cheating, for letting herself be used like that...* ...you can't blame yourself for this.

Todd: ... why is it that you always seem to be reading my mind...?

Key: ...What...? I-I'm not, I'm just... thinking... I can tell you're worried (and you kind of just made it obvious), but I just want you to know that... it's not your fault.

Todd: *he sighs again, though this time more in defeat than annoyance* ... why is he even here...?

Key: *(to drive me insane.)* ...... I don't know...

Todd: ... wh... whatever. We should sleep. *without a word, he takes his pill*

Key: *snuggles right back into him when he moves back, now very much unwilling to be separated form him at this point* ...

Todd: *barely had time to snuggle back against her before the tranquilizers fully ran their course to his brain, and shut it down*

Key: *hugs him tightly, sighing as she felt him go limp from the tranquilizer. she leans up and presses a brief kiss to his lips, then rests her head back against his shoulder, closing her eyes and trying to sleep...*

*the next morning*

Todd: *wakes up with a massive headache. He feels irritated at everything. Irritated, and depressed*

Key: *had been unable to sleep through the night--her encounter with Altodd kept flashing through her mind whenever she was close to falling asleep... and she didn't want to watch again. she was already awake when Todd woke up. she shifts around slightly, to let him know she was awake. she wonders if he needed to be injected yet*

Todd: *his voice was quiet, and shaky* K-Key, I-I-I need th-the... the ze... zehbeder-whatsit...

Key: ... *sighs* okay. *groggily gets out of bed, and grabs the box, pulling out a syringe* ... *sits on the edge of the bed next to Todd* you need to sit up, Todd.

Todd: *shaking, he gets up, sweating and feeling nauseous* h-hurry - hurry, give it to me - please, hurry...

Key: I know, I've got it right here... *pulls his sleeve back and injects the drug into his arm* ...there.

Todd: *slowly stops shaking and whatnot when he's injected* Ohh... s'much better now... <3

Key: ... *presses her forehead against his* ...you're gonna stay safe today, right? No fighting giant monsters, okay?

up

Harry: ... no... got too much on my mind...

meanwhile

Todd: *was waiting for Key there that whole time, wondering where she was* ...

Claire: ...well... at least try, okay? *puts and arm over him, and snuggles back into him*

meanwhile

Key: *opens the door, and comes into the room, closing the door behind her. she looks up at Todd, and freezes up for a split second before realizing it was HER Todd... her Todd... she looks down at the floor, ashamed, humiliated. she looked nearly as bad as she felt, and she looked like a complete mess* ....

Harry: ... *yawns* m'kay...

meanwhile

Todd: Key!! D8> *he stumbles off the bed and runs over to her, checking her over* What happened?? Are you okay??

Claire: *falls asleep next to him*

meanwhile

Key: ... *merely shakes her head, putting a hand over her face as she feels the sobs coming on again*

Harry: ... *he stays awake for a few more minutes before exhaustion beats him, and he falls asleep*

meanwhile

Todd: Key...! D8> *he puts his hands on her shoulders* Key, c'mon... I can't cheer you up if you don't tell me what's wrong... and... and where you got those bruises...

Key: *sniffles, then looks back up at Todd, letting her hand drop. she gives him a sad smile, tears still rolling down her face* It was Altodd. I tries to fight him, but... he was too strong for me.

Todd: *his expression becomes frozen with shock, and he speaks in a near-whisper* ... he beat you...?

Key: *her expression doesn't change, but she averts her eyes to the wall* Oh, he did more than that... *looks back, and her smile is gone--her expression was blank, and her voice was quiet* ...he ...he raped me, Todd... Just--just threw me against his bed a-and raped me...

Todd: ... oh god. Oh god, oh god... *he hugs her tightly, his eyes becoming wide orbs on his face. He had been waiting for her - and all that time - ALL THAT TIME, she was being raped by that MONSTER* ...oh my god, I'm so sorry, Key... oh god, I could've helped you... I-I can't believe he... oh my god...

Key: *rests her head against his shoulder and cries silently, letting the tears keep coming... she doesn't even have the energy to hug him back. pathetic* ....

Todd: *still hugging her tightly* I won't let him touch you ever again, Key. Not ever. You'll be okay... *now whispering, in a comforting tone* You'll be okay...

Key: *feebly nods. She believes him. she continues to cry on his shoulder, letting out all the fear, all the pain, the shame and the guilt she felt all at once, until she felt empty and numb inside* ...

Todd: *rubs Key's back a bit to comfort her before letting go - thought he still had his hands on her shoulders* ... come on, Key... let's sleep. You really need it...

Key: *nods again, but doesn't move* ....

Todd: *pulls her over to the bed* ...I'm so sorry...

Key: *allows him to pull her along, not offering any resistance* It wasn't your fault...

Todd: ... *helps her into the bed* But if I was there with you... if I could've somehow STOPPED him...

Key: *gets into bed without complaint* It wouldn't have made a difference... the creators wanted it to happen, so it did...

Todd: *squeezes his eyes shut, then opens them again, almost as if trying to ignore what she said* ... he can't get away with doing that to you, Key.

Key: You can't do anything to him, Todd, they'll hurt you if you do...

up

Harry: ... you really never should have...

meanwhile

Altodd: *he stared at his sword, placed in a corner of the room*

Claire: ...how often has that...

Sam: *reaches out and places his hand on Harry's arm where he could reach--as if he knew Harry wasn't feeling okay*

meanwhile

Key: *stops in front of his door, and takes a deep breath to steady herself, wiping off any stray tears with the back of her hand. she couldn't let him get to her again. she knocks quietly*

Harry: *he places his forefinger on Sam's hand, rubbing it a little. He looks at the infant* ... it happened one other time...

meanwhile

Altodd: *his head snaps to the door* ... *he gets up and opens the door, not surprised to find Key there* ... hey. *he backs up to let her in*

Sam: :(

Claire: ...I'm guessing it's not a fun story.

meanwhile

Key: *doesn't want to go inside, but she doesn't want anyone to hear... she steps into the room* We need to talk.

Harry: ... No. It's not.

meanwhile

Altodd: *smirks a bit, as if this was amusing to him* About what?

Claire: ...You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to.

meanwhile

Key: *takes a deep breath* I'm not doing this anymore. We're done.

Harry: ... alright then... I won't.

meanwhile

Altodd: *he closes the door behind Key, locking it. His smile is dropped. His voice gets quiet* ... excuse me?

Claire: ... *sighs* We should go to bed...

meanwhile

Key: *becomes nervous when she hears the lock click closed, but she tries to keep up a brave front* We're done, Altodd. I'm not coming back. I can't keep doing this.

Harry: ... yeah. Alright. *he heads over with Claire to their room*

meanwhile

Altodd: Oh, ohh ho ho, no we are NOT! *there is a sudden rage in his eyes. He roughly pushes Key away from the door, having snapped from Key's sudden need to leave him - no she NEEDED HIM - SHE NEEDED HIM AS MUCH AS HE NEEDED HER* You dog! It's because of TODD, isn't it?? I already TOLD you - he doesn't love you! He DOESN'T!!

Claire: *puts Sam in his crib when they get to the room, then sits down on the edge of the bed with a tired sigh* ...

meanwhile

Key: !! *staggers back, but keeps her footing. she stands up straight and clenches her fists* He does love me Altodd, and you need to stop trying to convince me otherwise! What I'm doing-- What WE'RE doing-- this is wrong, and you know it! D:<

Harry: *sits down on the other side of the bed* ...

meanwhile

Altodd: *shoves her again, a madness now glimmering in his eyes* YOU LIED TO ME!! *then he grabs her by her jaw, forcing her to look at him, into those mad eyes. He spoke through his teeth, just as Harry had* You said you loved me - you remember - when we had sex on my bed - you said it - YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME!!

Claire: *looks at him over her shoulder, then gets under the covers* ....

meanwhile

Key: *shoves him away, managing to get out of his grip--she's definitely afraid now, one hand rubbing her jaw where he grabbed her while the other reaches of the pistol still at her waist* I did... I DID say that... *with a bit more energy behind her voice* But that was only after I had convinced myself that I was with him and not you.

Harry: *gets under the covers as well, looking at nothing but the ceiling*

meanwhile

Altodd: *he completely loses it. He is so angry that he can no longer form words - it only comes out as an angry scream, directed at Key. HE knew what to do with her! HE knew how to teach her a lesson* AAAAHHHHHRRHHGH!! *Altodd twisted Key's gun painfully out of her hands, throwing it to the side. Then he pushed her down onto the bed, keeping a hand on her throat - RIPPING her pants off. This wasn't like last time, this was a sickened twisting of what happened before - one of RAGE, no LUST or PASSION. When she struggles, he is not afraid to punch her across the face in order to stop her*

Claire: ... *snuggles into his side, putting her hand on his cheek and turning his face towards her* ...I think... you should go apologize to her tomorrow...

meanwhile

Key: *screams in complete, unadulterated fear--she claws at him, kicks, screams, punches, struggles with all her strength, even when he hits her back, she continues to fight him, like a cornered animal, she never stopped fighting to free herself*

Harry: I-I know... I will.

meanwhile

Altodd: *he punches her again* SHUT UP! SHUT UP!! IT'S YOUR FAULT ANYWAY - IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR LOVING HIM - FOR LYING TO ME!! *he manages to get his own pants off - and then he began. It was hateful, rough, vicious, every word that meant "painful" or "angry" could be used to describe the rape that was happening that moment. It wasn't fully on the bed - he forced himself on her on the sharp EDGE of it, like forcing her into the sharp edge of a KNIFE. All the while, he moved his free hand over her mouth to stop her from screaming - he also put it over her nose, hoping to cut off enough air supply so that she would black out - just to get her to stop screaming. After all, if she kept screaming, someone might suspect that Altodd was doing something horrible to her, or that he was a horrible person - and Altodd knew that there was nothing wrong with this. That he was not a horrible person. That nothing was wrong with HIM*

Claire: ... *softly kisses him on the lips* Try to get some sleep, okay? <:(

meanwhile

Key: *continues to fight him, thrashing about like a madwoman, biting his hand, clawing at his arms--until eventually she stops. she gives up. she was completely out of energy, and she had lost the will to fight. she simply lay there and let the tears roll, physical and emotional pain draining away with them until she felt numb, completely numb to everything--everything but the metal edge of the bed painfully digging into her back, threatening to snap the remaining part of her wings in two. was this her punishment for leaving Todd? For trying to live in a lie that was so obvious even SHE could see through it? It couldn't be anything else but punishment--punishment from cruel gods who enjoying nothing more than to watch them suffer*

Harry: ... I'll try. *with a shudder, he closes his eyes and tries to sleep*

meanwhile

Altodd: *and then he was done, and he gets off of her* ... it's your fault, anyway, Key... your fault for loving him... for lying to me... your fault... you shouldn't be crying, you sick little dog - you broke MY heart, not the other way around... and now look... look what you made me do... I can't believe you love him... I can't believe you could ever love that THING...

Claire: *snuggles against him, hoping that would help him sleep* ...

meanwhile

Key: *just sits there for a moment, completely numb to everything but the pain, the agonizing pain... then she feebly reaches for her discarded jeans and silently pulls them back on. using the bed as a support, she forces herself to stand, and stares at Altodd. she doesn't glare, doesn't sob, there wasn't even any more indication that she had been crying except for the tears that continued to roll down her now-bruised face. when she speaks, she trips over her words and is barely louder a whisper--her voice doesn't break until the end* ...y-you're the only monster here, A-Altodd... a-and you're sick for thinking otherwise...

Harry: *really, he can't. Giving up, he opens his eyes again, sighing*

meanwhile

Altodd: *growling* ... I'm not the sick one here, Key... y-you... *he seemed to be stuck on repeat - he was that far gone* y-you made me do it... it's YOUR fault...

Claire: *was drifting off when he sighed, and is brought back to awareness. she looks up, concerned* ...

meanwhile

Key: *weakly shakes her head. her vain struggle, and the rape itself had left her completely drained of any energy she had beforehand* No... this was y-you... this... was all you. If... *swallows and braces herself, in case he decided to attack her again for this* If you loved me... you wouldn't have done this...

Harry: ... sorry...

meanwhile

Altodd: But I... ... *he grows quiet* b-but I... do love you... *he's silent after that, looking at nothing but the ground. His mind goes blank, other than her words still lingering in his head*

Claire: don't apologize... you really can't sleep? <:(

meanwhile

Key: ... *takes the opportunity and walks towards the door, unlocking it, and leaving the room, not once looking back at Altodd. not once. she doesn't even bother closing the door. she just makes her way down the hallway, back to her room, the encounter playing back over and over, vividly, in her mind. she shouldn't have gone back. she should have waited. she should have confronted him after telling Todd, so he could be there with her--but it was too late for that now. she continued on down the hall, never noticing the blood dripping off the end of her wings*

up

Jacob: *finishes up cleaning and bandaging Todd* There we go...

Todd: kay...

Harry: ... Jacob... why is Todd like this?

Jacob: ... ah... I don't think I can tell you that, Harry.

Harry: KEY seems to know.

Key: That's because I figured it out on my own.

Claire: :/

Sam: ...

Jacob: Yes, Key. Yes you did. *to Harry* Go bug her about it, not me.

Harry: *was about to say something, but stops himself and looks at Key - looks at her with a completely puzzled expression*

Todd: ...

Key: *meets his gaze, then looks back down* ...

Claire: ...Key--

Key: I-It's none of your business, okay?? This is between me, and Todd, and Jacob.

Sam: *is a bit startled by the sudden raised voice* D:

Harry: *he is not fazed by the outburst. He manages to keep his look calm, and his voice, low* ... he's my best friend, Key... he was my only reason for living, after the first Between World incident.

Todd: ...

Jacob: ...

Key: *quiets down a bit* ...He's my reason too, Harry. That's why I can't tell you... I-I can't lose him...

Claire: ...

Sam: ...

Harry: *he sharply sucks in his breath when she says "lose him". What was WRONG with Todd? He became worried, and his voice shook* D-don't l-leave m-me in the d-dark, Key...

Todd: ... *he was emotionless at this point*

Jacob: *bites his bottom lip*

Key: *shakes her head* Harry, I can't...

Claire: *looks up at Harry, concerned*

Sam: *is getting uneasy* ...

Harry: *suddenly his concern turned to pure rage - how DARE Key do this to him - HOW DARE SHE. She knew he was as close to Todd as he was - SHE KNEW - how could she - ?? No! He had to know! He couldn't be left to worry without knowing what it was - what was HAPPENING - THAT WAS IT!* KEY!! *his eyes were murderous, and his next words were spoken through bared teeth and a snarling voice* Don't you DARE do this to me, you dog! You selfish CHILD - YOU frackING SELF-CENTERED WHORE!!

Jacob: *freezes up from this* D8

Todd: *he frowns a little*

Sam: *is frightened by the outburst, and begins to cry loudly*

Claire: *gapes wide-eyed at Harry, unconsciously stepping back and turning herself slightly so she was between him and Sam. she had never, NEVER seen him like this, not even on the battlefield, and it... it scared her*

Key: *freezes up and gawks at Harry, a look of pure terror on her face. he was terrifying when he was angry--she clearly remembers the incident in the safehouse where he murdered his father--but it wasn't just his actions or his expression that scared her... it was his words. his last sentence--it was as if he knew.. as if he KNEW about her, and that things she had done with Altodd. but how was it possible? there was no way anyone, ANYONE could know, except for him, her, and the creators. did he hear them? SEE them? How would he KNOW?! All the guilt that had been welling up inside her from her.. escapades... suddenly came up and threatened to overwhelm her--no, she couldn't admit it, she couldn't say anything about that, it would break Todd, BREAK him-- when she speaks, it comes out as a barely audible squeak* h-h-h-he got addicted t-to the drugs Jacob was giving him--oh god, I'm sorry, just..! *breaks down right then and there, unable to contain it any longer. she buries her face in her hands, repeating the same words over and over again. She couldn't do this anymore. She was going to talk to Altodd as soon as she sees him again--this couldn't go on* I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...

Harry: *stands there, huffing angrily while Sam cried. He doesn't like what he hears, but it was better than nothing. He doesn't move from that spot, and when she starts crying, that's when his expression finally starts to lighten* ...

Jacob: D8> *is appalled by it all - Harry's outburst, and Key's reaction. He looks away. It was too painful to watch*

Todd: *his frown deepens. He stares at Harry and Key, the tiniest hints of concern starting to form*

Claire: *looks back and forth between Key and Harry, just as appalled as Jacob (if not more). she gently rocks Sam back and forth, trying to comfort him... she wasn't surprised he reacted the way he did* shhh... shhhh...

Sam: *continues to cry*

Key: *leans back against the wall and slides down it to a sitting position, her sobs never stopping*

Todd: ...

Jacob: *just stands there, looking back and forth between Harry and Key* ...

Harry: *he feels extremely uncomfortable. No one said anything. It was just the mixed sounds of Sam and Key crying. About two minutes in, and he left without a word. As he walked down the medical wing, he used his thumb to wipe away some tears that started to form*

Claire: *watches him leave, still trying to get Sam to calm down-- trying to calm HERSELF down. she hadn't noticed how her heart had been pounding. she takes a deep breath to steady herself* ...

Sam: *seems to be calming down, but he's still crying*

Key: *doesn't seem to be stopping--it felt like the guilt could kill her*

Jacob: *approaches Key, getting on one knee and placing a hand on her shoulder* ... Key.

Todd: *he fully looks concerned for Key, now* ...

meanwhile

Harry: *stops midway to his and Claire's room, and just crashes against the wall, back first, his only hand over his eyes in shame*

Key: *startled, she takes a sharp breath looks up at Jacob with slightly bloodshot eyes, going eerily quiet* ...

Claire: ... *starts feeling uncomfortable as well. she wishes she could apologize for Harry, but she's still in shock from his outburst... she leaves the room, continuing to rock Sam back and forth*

Jacob: ... He didn't mean to yell at you, Key... maybe you should head back to your room...

Todd: ... Key...

meanwhile

Harry: *hasn't moved from that spot. His hand still covers his eyes*

Key: ... *nods at Jacob, and stands up, using Todd's bed to help herself up. she doesn't look at him, ashamed of her sudden breakdown, and goes out the door*

meanwhile

Claire: *sees Harry a bit farther down the hall, and stops. she could tell he was ashamed of himself, even from that distance* ...

Sam: *had calmed down somewhat, still a bit sniffly. he looks down towards Harry, and seems to recognize him, as he reaches a chubby hand out in his direction*

Claire: *glances down at Sam, then back at Harry* ... *nods to herself, then quietly approaches Harry, until she's only a few feet away from him* ...Harry...

Harry: *he lowers his hand - now it loosely covered his nose and mouth* ... I'm sorry for that...

Claire: ...I've never seen you like that, Harry...

Sam: ...

Key: *goes down the hall, out of the medical wing... he wasn't going to her room, no--she needed to talk to Altodd. Now.*

up

Harry: *scratches at the ground with his foot, snorting. He readies himself for Toothless again*

Todd: *manages to THROW THE MONSTER OFF OF HIM* RAAIIIHHGH!!

Monster: !! *yelps in surprise, stumbling back a few steps away from him*

Toothless: rrrrr... *pounces on Harry*

Hiccup: *is hanging on for dear life* !!

Claire: *is still reloading* !!

Key: *is surprised for a few moments, but quickly takes the opportunity to shoot at the monster* D:<

Harry: !! *punches at Toothless*

Monster: *roars in pain*

Todd: *pounces on him and starts disemboweling him* RAAUUGH!!

Toothless: *yelps, but hangs on, and bites at Harry*

Claire: *shoots at Toothless again, this time hitting his shoulder*

Toothless: *roars, and jumps off of Harry, limping away* snrrrrr...!!

Hiccup: Toothless, now would be a good time to get out of here..!!

Key: *holds her fire when Todd jumps on the monster, and merely watches in surprised silence as he tears it apart. She hadn't expected him to be able to react that way, not while on the drugs.. or maybe they wore off? she wasn't sure* ...

Harry: *makes sure to not let Toothless and Hiccup escape - he rams into them, horns first* RAAUHH!!

Todd: *finally ends up killing the monster, then steps off, still growling. Then he calms down, and goes back to being blissful and uncaring - not even with all that blood on his arms*

Toothless: *roars in agony as Harry's horns stab into his chest. he claws futilely at Harry*

Hiccup: TOOTHLESS! *fumbles around until he manages to take off the restrain, and he falls out of the saddle. he stumbles back and looks upon the scene with a look of complete horror on his face*

Claire: *reloads her crossbow, and aims it at Hiccup... but seeing the look on his face stopped her. that look of terror reminded her too much of when Harry died--she was sure she looked the same way. she lowers the crossbow* ...

Key: *watches him for a few seconds to make sure he was calm, then runs over to him* Todd! Are you alright? Did he hurt you?? D:>

Harry: *he takes Toothless by the head, his claws digging into the dragon's skull. With one swift motion, he raises Toothless's head, and sharply thrusts it downwards. A sickening crackle is heard*

Todd: Hm? Yeah... I'm fiiine... *looks down at the bloody slashes all over his torso* ... haha, whaaaat...

Key: ... We'll take you to Jacob just to be safe... just.. stay down, okay? *resumes shooting everything*

Hiccup: *is in complete shock. Toothless, a Night Fury, thought to be the deadliest dragon of all time, was dead. he steps back and away from them, then turns and flees back towards the Origini, nearly tripping once as he went*

Claire: *watches him run* ...

Lightning: *is confused when she sees Hiccup running towards her without his dragon, but frowns when she sees the dead creature from afar. she runs to help the defenseless teen, calling for a retreat as she went*

Harry: *steps away from the body - he... felt BAD for what he did, yes - but it was only necessary. After all, that THING could have killed any one of them - EASILY!*

Todd: *is somewhat woozy from blood loss. He was already woozy from the drugs, and he became physically sick, vomiting* Ah... shoot...

Key: ?! *looks back over her shoulder at the sound* Ah! D:> *she then hears someone calling the retreat--she puts one of her pistols back into its holster and lightly shakes Todd's shoulder with her free hand* Todd, we need to go. D:>

Claire: ...Come on, we have to go back. *turns, and runs back to the teleporters*

Harry: ! *turns back, and runs with Claire*

Todd: ... yeah... okay...

Key: *grabs his arm, and pulls him along, into the stronghold*

*IN THE STRONGHOLD*

Key: *puts her other pistol away and continues on to the med wing with Todd in tow*

Claire: *sees this* Looks like Todd was attacked. I hope he's okay... let's go check, we have to pick up Sam anyway.

Harry: ... Right. I hope he didn't give Jacob any trouble... or the other way around.

Todd: *goes with Key to the medical wing* ...

IN THE MEDICAL WING

Altodd: OH DEAR GOD, HE IS SO CUTE. *cuddling Sam*

Jacob: YEAH, I KNOW, RIGHT? <333

Me: *has died laughing at the mental image*

Sam: :D

Key: *comes into the room and opens her mouth to say something, but is surprised when she sees Altodd (holding SAM?) there and keeps her mouth shut. instead, she leads Todd to one of the beds* ...

Claire: *comes in a moment after Key, and is also somewhat perplexed at the scene before her--she didn't think Altodd was the type to like kids (then again, he IS Todd)*

Altodd: Ah... D: *quickly hands Sam over to Jacob, then clears his throat before speaking again* ... I'll be going now... *leaves*

Jacob: *takes Sam* Uh...?

Todd: *lays down onto the bed* shoot, man this is the coolest spinning room EVER...

Jacob: Oh, that's... not good. *Gives Sam to Harry, then immediately begins work on Todd*

Harry: ...

Key: ....He defended himself, Jacob. When he was attacked. Does that mean anything?

Sam: *is now confused--there were two of the same person?* ...mmaaahh.

Claire: ....

Me: just to be clear, that's me trying to write out baby talk. XD;;;

Me: Sam is a GOOAAAAT. XDDD

Jacob: Um... he's not... supposed to... was it really HIM defending himself, or did he lose control? You know, from the pain?

Todd: Pain... hahaha... you're so funny...

Harry: *still holds Sam. He was curious as to WHAT on earth was going with Todd* ...

Me: shadduuuup.

Key: ...the monster injured him first, so you're probably right...

Claire: *is wondering the same thing, but felt like it would be extremely rude to ask* ...

up

Todd: ... I feel like I'm going to explode or something...

meanwhile

Harry: ... Claire...

Key: ...i guess i should give you the... *goes quiet again*

meanwhile

Claire: *turns to look at Harry* Good morning...

Todd: *his voice is breaking. He's extremely upset* ... yeah. Guess you should.

meanwhile

Harry: ... how is he?

Key: ... *gets out of bed, and grabs the box, opening it and pulling out a syringe. she stares at it for a moment before sitting back down on the edge of the bed* ...i hate having to do this...

meanwhile

Claire: He's fine... still a little sleepy, though... I guess we'll be leaving him with Jacob when it's time to go..

Todd: *completely breaks down, sobbing*

meanwhile

Harry: I guess so... well, we should probably do that right now - better to do it before the alarm goes off, rather than while it's going off, when everyone is scrambling around.

Key: D:> ... *grabs his arm and pulls his sleeve back, shedding a few tears herself. to her, this felt like she was signing his death sentence. how long would it take for this to kill him? she injects the drug inot his arm, apologizing over and over in her head*

meanwhile

Claire: good idea... it'd be a bit of an abrupt wake-up call, too. let's go, then.

Todd: *it only takes a single second after he's injected with the drug to cease his crying. He completely relaxed, closing his eyes, sighing with a small smile on his face*

meanwhile

HARRY: Alright. *leaves the room with Claire (and Sam), heading over to Jacob's room*

Key: *seeing this only makes her feel worse-- she stands up and disposes of the used syringe, wiping the tears from her eyes, completely silent*

meanwhile

Sam: *becomes more alert as they enter Jacob's room. he looks around, staying rather calm as he recognizes the room*

Claire: *feels him moving around, and smiles* Good morning, Sam.

Todd: ... hey... why're you so sad...?

meanwhile

Jacob: Good morning, you... three. I guess it's time for me to watch the baby?

Harry: Yeah.

Jacob: Alright, then. Don't go dying out there - I refuse to be stuck with this child.

Key: *looks at him, then just shakes her head* ...Don't worry about it...

meanwhile

Claire: We're not planning on it... *to Sam* We'll be back soon, okay?

Sam: *blinks at her, obviously not understanding, but he's reassured by her tone*

Todd: ... I wasn't worried... I was jus' a little curious...

meanwhile

Harry: C'mon, Cl -

Alarm: BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Jacob: *takes the Sam from Claire* ALRIGHT, TIME'S UP. GO OUT THERE AND SLAUGHTER SOME PEOPLE.

Key: *winces at the alarm* l-let's go... *leaves the room, waiting for Todd out in the hall. she wasn't going to let him get killed--she won't leave his side*

meanwhile

Sam: !! *is startled by the alarm and begins to cry*

Claire: D: ALRIGHT. *runs out to the teleporters with Harry*

Todd: ...? *realizes that he needs to follow her* ! *stumbles out the door, dragging his feet along as best as he could to follow Key*

meanwhile

Jacob: *gently rocks Sam, trying to calm him down*

meanwhile

Harry: *turns into his bestial form once more*

Key: *takes his hand and pulls him along, holding a pistol in her other hand*

meanwhile

Claire: *pulls out her crossbow and loads it, a look of newfound determination on her face* ...

*IN THE BLANK SPACE*

The three sides: *charge*

Todd: *is pulled along into the portal, and onto the battlefield* Oh... everything looks so white and clean...

Harry: *takes a bird-man by its head, and slams it down onto the ground. The result is a graphic display of blood, brains and skull fragments*

Key: *sighs (it won't stay that way for long) and shoots an Origini through the head, causing a spray of blood that went everywhere*

Claire: *mercilessly shoots down anything that gets within range, making them drop like flies*

Hiccup: *flies over on Toothless, safely above the ensuing battle. he looks down at the two Deriviti that were mercilessly taking down both Canoui and Origini alike--without a healer, this could prove disastrous* Alright Toothless, you're not gonna like this, but we have to deal with these guys...

Toothless: *snorts and raises an eyebrow*

Hiccup: We'll be fine, you're too fast for them. Ready?

Harry: *takes an Origini and snaps his spine on his knee, then he throws the limp body at Mickey Mouse*

Mickey: Huh-Ha - AAH!! *ka-smacked*

Todd: *stays close to Key* ...

Key: *viciously protects Todd, picking off any enemy that dares to even sets eyes on them*

Claire: *blinks in confusion at the familiar sound, but is otherwise undeterred-- then she sees a black blur out of the corner of her eye* INCOMING!

Toothless: *jets over them, shooting a fireball at them as he passes over*

Fireball: *explodes very near them* BOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Claire: !! *is left reeling from the explosion*

Todd: *is very confused as to what was going on*

Harry: *steadies her and roars angrily at Hiccup and Toothless*

Key: *casts a glance at Todd, the goes right back to fighting*

Toothless: *loops around for another shot, roaring back*

Hiccup: Careful...!

Claire: >:( *loads her crossbow, aiming at the incoming dragon*

Monster: *barrels at Key and Todd with a loud roar. He manages to catch onto Todd and carry him away from Key, mid-run, reminiscent of the time Todd was brutally injured by a Charger. He then flings Todd to the ground when he's finally at a safe distance away from Key*

Todd: *cries out more from surprise than pain* AAH!!

Harry: *readies for the dragon* ...

Key: D8<!!! *immediately takes off after them, mercilessly killing anything that gets between her and the monster. she'd never forgive herself if Todd was hurt, especially in this state. she shoots at the monster as soon as she gets close enough*

Toothless: *flies at them at top speed, readying a fireball in his mouth* snrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...!!

Claire: *shoots at him* D:<

Toothless: *the bolt skims his wing, and he veers slightly to the left, going off-target* !! *shoos the fireball, but it goes over their heads-- and he's now significantly lower to the ground than he intended to be* !!

Hiccup: !! PULL UP! D8

Harry: *bashes Toothless with his horns when he gets into range* RAAHHGH!!

Monster: *rakes his claws across Todd's body*

Todd: *he manages to feel enough pain to be set off - suddenly he loses himself and plunges both arms into the monster's stomach*

Toothless: *snarls in pain when the horns stab into his stomach. he's flipped back and over Harry, crash-landing a short distance away. he forces himself back onto his feet, and glances back at Hiccup to make sure he was okay*

Hiccup: *was shaken and a bit battered, but otherwise okay* J-Jeez... are you okay, Toothless? D:>

Toothless: *responds with a pained hiss, then bares his teeth at Harry, roaring at him*

Claire: *reloads and aims at the dragon* ...

Toothless: ... *suddenly pounces towards them*

Claire: *puts a bolt through his wing* >:(

Toothless: RAAARGH! *is now permanently grounded* rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

meanwhile

Key: *reaches them, but stops suddenly when she sees what Todd has done* !!!

up

Harry: ... are you feeling okay, now? Do you think you can go back to sleep?

meanwhile

Todd: N... sort... of... you... something with a... "K"... I can't... I'm sorry, I KNOW you... sorta. I just... it's hard...

Claire: Yeah, I'm fine... *snuggles back into him*

meanwhile

Key: *goes very silent, leading Todd back to their room without another word* ...

Harry: *snuggles back* Alright, good... you got me worried for a minute...

meanwhile, in Todd and Key's room

Todd: *drags his feet along, still under the influence of the zenifermin. He was in a happy, blissful state - in quite a delusional one. He wasn't worried about Key's silence for the rest of the walk - he wasn't worried about anything. Not even the holes in his memory. He goes to the bed, carefully sitting down onto it*

Claire: heh... *sighs inwardly (you think you're worried... this is nothing.)* It's been a long day, Harry... I'm just tired. In every use of the word.

meawhile


Key: ... *puts the box of syringes down on her bed, and stares at them, worried beyond compare. what if he never got off the drugs? what if the memory loss became permanent? He wouldn't remember her, he wouldn't remember anything...* ...

Todd: ... *he gets under the covers of the bed, laying down, still wearing that blissful smile of his. That naive, unknowing, uncaring smile. He stared up at the ceiling, and into nothingness*

meanwhile

Haryy: ... well... okay... then I guess we should sleep. *closes his eyes, trying to go back to sleep*

Key: *looks over at the sound, watching him for a few moments. (maybe he'll remember something if I...) she pauses before getting into the bed next to him, putting an arm over him, hoping he'll remember SOMETHING...*

meanwhile

Claire: good night... *rests her head back against his shoulder, doing her best to try and sleep* ...

Todd: *lets out a slow, dazed laugh, turning his head slightly to Key* s'kay... silly, I still remember that I love you... I just can't remember who you are...

Key: ... *doesn't quite know what to think of this. he didn't know who she was, of that he seemed to be certain, so how did he know he loved her? was that even possible? (tch, of course it is) she snuggles into his side* ...you don't know me at all? besides that?

Todd: I dunno. Maybe a few fuzzy things... other than that, nooope... *weakly rests his head against her shoulder*

Key: ... *hugs him tightly, almost feeling like she could cry. she finally gets him back, and he wasn't even all there... so close, and yet so far...* ...

Todd: *continues staring blankly into nothingness, then looks over at Key, still spaced out. His mind felt like a filled up fish bowl - wishy washy. Turned to tidal waves. He couldn't focus. Not on anything. He tried remembering her name. If not anything else, it would be nice to just remember her name* K... Kuh... uh... ker...

Key: *quietly, her voice nearly breaking* ...Key.

Todd: Oh... OH... ah.... ahaha... right... you had the hoodie up all the... all the time... r... right...?

Key: ... *nods* mhmm... at least you remember that...

Todd: Oh, hah... heh... and that's all I... remember...

Key: ... *runs her hand back and forth through his hair. she hates seeing him like this, she absolutely hates it. it's killing her on the inside, she's sure of it...* ...G-Good night, Todd...

Todd: mm... oh, okay... you can sleep... I don't feel tired... I dunno why...

Key: *continues the motion, vaguely wondering if there were still any of Todd's sleeping pills still in the room, but she was too tired and distraught to care. she tries to fall asleep*

Todd: ... *as she fell asleep, he continued to look at her, watching her*

THE NEXT MORNING

Todd: *was still awake, unmoved from his position. The drugs had worn off, but he wasn't suffering from withdrawal just yet. He continues watching Key, now feeling that wave of depression and anger that hit him like an explosion. Keeping all of it inside was an impossible task*

meanwhile

Harry: *waking up, happy that Sam didn't start crying in the middle of the night - they needed all the sleep they could get*

Key: *wakes up, but stays very quiet. she looks up at Todd, locking eyes with him* ...

meanwhile

Claire: *had woken up a few minutes earlier and was standing by the crib, holding a sleepy Sam in her arms. she doesn't notice Harry waking up*

up

Harry: ... let's go sleep...

meanwhile

Todd: Key - just let him give it to me - let him give it to me, PLEASE, I need it - I feel like shoot without it, this is UNBEARABLE - PLEASE, Key...!!

Claire: .... *nods, and gets into bed, but not before casting a final glance at the crib* ...

meanwhile

Key: Nnhh... Okay--OKAY! *grudgingly* W-We'll go talk to Jacob... see if we can get you off it somehow...

Harry: *gets into bed with Claire, glancing at the crib as well, but eventually just keeps his focus on Claire* ...

meanwhile

Todd: *he sounds quite pathetic, his gratitude a little... TOO great* Oh god - thank you - thank you, thank you, Key.... oh god... *immediately goes to the door, opening it and quickly walking out of the room. He seemed to be in pain*

Claire: ... *snuggles into him and hugs him tightly, burying her face in his chest* ...

meanwhile

Key: ... *looks down, debating whether to go after him or not... she couldn't bear to see him hurting, but she didn't like that he had to get drugged just to make it go away... and now he was addicted to the damn thing! she turns and leaves the room, running down the hall after Todd*

Harry: *snuggles up against her, as well, falling asleep there*

meanwhile, at the medical wing, Jacob's room

Todd: *enters the room with wild eyes from a crushing wall of anxiety that he practically suffocated from, as well as a splitting headache and shifting emotions* Jacob! Jacob, I-I need that one drug... the - the -

Jacob: I understand. *immediately goes for it*

Claire: *has trouble falling asleep, the previous conversation still fresh in her mind...eventually, though, she falls asleep*

meanwhile

Key: *comes into the room, but stands by the door, watching Todd and Jacob silently. Mostly Todd. How long would it take for the drugs to wear off this time...?* ...Jacob... is it possible to get him off the drugs...? D:>

Harry: *still looks at her* ...

meanwhile

Jacob: ... uh... ah... I don't know.

Todd: Mnnngh...!

Claire: ... *tightens her grip on him in her sleep, shifting around a bit* ...

meanwhile

Key: So he'll be stuck like this forever!? D8>

Harry: *was nodding off, himself, when she does this* !

meanwhile

Jacob: Now don't start yelling at me just yet, Key - I just don't know how strong his addiction to the zenifermin is... worst case scenario would be that withdrawal from it will lead to seizures, or hallucinations, or even a stroke or a heart attack... I don't know what to do... how to help him... I - I CAN'T...!

Todd: Th-then give it to me right NOW, and figure it out later! D8>

Claire: *she lets out a quiet sob and seems to start crying, tears soaking through Harry's shirt a bit* ...

meanwhile

Key: *starts off quiet, but gradually gets louder* ...I knew this would happen. From the moment I found out, I knew, and I told you, but you didn't listen!! NOW look! You don't even know what could happen to him if he doesn't-- *growls in frustration, then yells at the ceiling* Goddammit, I know you're watching! I fracking HATE YOU!!

Harry: *softly to her* Claire?

meanwhile

Todd: Jacob, PLEASE...

Jacob: Mnngh... I'm sorry, Key... I'm really sorry that this happened... I-I didn't think it would get this bad...

Todd: JACOB! D8<

Jacob: !! ... *he shuffles over and gets the drug out, then shuffles back and injects Todd*

Todd: Mmhh... that's much better... s'not effecting me as much an'more... haha, but's that's okay... this is all really nice, just standing here...

Claire: *is awoken by this, as she hadn't fully fallen asleep yet, and looks startled when she realizes she's crying. she quickly rubs the tears away with the back of her hand* ...Sorry.

meanwhile

Key: *is just about ready to throw a tantrum (what the hell am I, a five year old?!), but she manages to control herself, though her frustration still showed* ...Will I have to bring him back tomorrow morning?

Harry: No - no, you shouldn't be sorry for... what happened? Do you want to talk about it?

meanwhile

Jacob: ... No.. well... you know what, I'll just give you some of my supply of the zenifermin... *he ducks back into the cupboard and pulls out a box the size of a thick book. He hands it to Key. It's full of loaded syringes* ... please don't hate me for this, Key... I'm trying so hard to do my job... it's... difficult to fix everything.

Todd: *sniffs* fffuuuh... I ff... I forget... which name is mine, again...?

Claire: No, no, I'm fine... just... worried.

meanwhile

Key: ... *tries her best to ignore Todd and reluctantly takes the box (he expects me to just GIVE this to him...?)* ...Okay. I just give it to him when he starts acting up?

Harry: I'm sorry... I did that to you with all my cynic-talk...

meanwhile

Todd: mmmngh... but what's my name...?

Jacob: Yeah, pretty much... I'm sorry again for this, I really am...

Claire: No, don't blame yourself...

meanwhile

Key: Just... don't. Forget about it... Come on, Todd. *grabs him by the wrist, and drags him out of the room*

Harry: ... but if I just kept my mouth shut... then...

meanwhile

Todd: *is dragged out* none of you'er ansr'in my question...

Claire: No, no, no, it's fine...

meanwhile

Key: ...Y-Your name's Todd... Do you know who I am?

up

Todd: Right! Don't worry about it - he'll like you!

Harry: *carefully takes Sam away from Todd* Yes. Yes he will. *to Claire* Maybe we should head back...

Jacob: ...

Claire: that sounds like a good idea...

Sam: *yawns*

Key: *smiles at how adorable the action is, but it quickly fades as she remembers she can't even hold the baby without him panicking* ...sleep sounds petty good right now.

Alex: mhmm. *stifles a yawn* guess we should all go, then.

Harry: Right... well then, I guess it's off to bed. *takes Sam with Claire to their room - THEIR room, as Harry figured he could no longer sleep in the same room with Todd and Key - not when he and Claire had a SON now to take care of*

meanwhile

Jacob: *holds his breath, happy that Key didn't bring up anything related to Todd's behavior that day*

Todd: So... off we go?

Claire: *enters the room, and isn't surprised to see a crib and other such baby items in the corner by the bed. she lets out a long sigh* This is real, huh?

Sam: *is nodding off in Harry's arms*

meanwhile

Key: ...Go ahead, I'll be with you in a minute. I need to ask Jacob about something.

Alex: ... *leaves*

Me: Teehee, Jacob thought too soon.

Harry: Yeah. It is. *he puts Sam into the crib and tucks him in* Funny how this all just... happened. Well, this whole place is funny, really. It would suck if it turns out we're all just insane and having the same hallucination.

meanwhile

Todd: Uh... alright. *walks out*

Jacob: Oh no.

Claire: Group hallucinations ARE possible... *shakes her head* It feels too real for that, though. *looks down at Sam in the crib* Much too real...

Sam: *quickly falls asleep*

meanwhile

Key: *becomes very serious, narrowing her eyes at the hedgehog* Oh yes. You put those drugs in him again--he didn't know where he was, he could've gotten KILLED! you said he was fixed! D:<

Harry: *puts an arm around Claire* ... and if this is real... and when it finally ends... what will happen to us? To Sam?

meanwhile

Jacob: He... he IS fixed... for th-the MOST part... there's just a few... er... glitches.

Claire: *leans against him, resting her head against his shoulder* You mean whenever we get to go back home? ...I don't know. We would... we'd just have to cope, I guess. Get used to living a normal life again...

meanwhile

Key: *is trying very hard not to freak out--though she feels like she has every reason to* What do you man by GLITCHES? What's wrong with him NOW?!

Harry: ... Claire... you'll be transported back to the Safe Zone, but... WE won't... not me, Todd, or Key... we'll be sent back to where we were pulled - the safe house...

meanwhile

Jacob: ... I can't tell you that, Key...

Claire: *looks up, surprised* Wait--They're not putting us back where... *trails off* ...So... I'd have to wait until you arrive... D-Do you think they'd leave Sam with me? I mean, they wouldn't put him in danger like that, would they...? D:>

meanwhile

Key: You can, and you will. This is just as much my business as it is his, and yours. >:(

Harry: ... I don't know... whether he survives or not depends on who he goes with... or if he even goes at all... what if they keep him??

meanwhile

Jacob: ... Fine then. Ask Todd. I won't tell you, but ask him - HE knows. Tell him I gave him permission to.

Claire: *is horrified by the thought* They wouldn't! D8>

meanwhile

Key: ...fine. just... fine. but just so you know, I'm not done with you. ):< *leaves the room, headed straight for her and Todd's--she figured Harry would be staying with Claire from now on*

Harry: ... they're sadistic enough...

meanwhile

Todd: *was feeling the effects of withdrawal once more - he couldn't focus on anything - his mind was RACING - he was feeling sweaty, nervous, anxious - dear god, when was Key coming back? What if she WASN'T?? What was going on? Todd twitched again. He couldn't help it. He needed more of Jacob's strange drug - he couldn't LIVE like this - he PHYSICALLY NEEDED IT*

Claire: Don't talk like that! If that happens, I don't know what I'd do...

meanwhile

Key: *comes into the room, closing the door behind her. she takes adeep breath to calm herself--she didn't want to yell at him* ...Jacob told me to ask you what was going on with you...

Harry: *he says nothing. He only pulls her closer to him, rubbing her shoulder with his thumb* ...

meanwhile

Todd: *jumps from Key's sudden appears. Somehow, this turns his emotions all into one large, steaming fit of anger* F-F-frackIN' - The hell does that guy want from me?? I-I-I DON'T EVEN - frack, HE JUST, FIRST HE TELLS ME NOT TO TELL YOU, AND NOW HE'S TELLING ME THAT I GOTTA TELL YOU THAT - frackING DOCTOR - HE - I'M ADDICTED TO HIS frackING DRUG!!

Claire: *rests her head back against his shoulder, reaching one hand up to lightly touch Harry's hand* ...

meanwhile

Key: *she was startled by his sudden outburst, but the surprise was nothing compared to how furious she became with Jacob right then and there. it took all her willpower not to freak out* I knew it...! W-We need to fix this!! D8<

Harry: *shuts his eyes tightly, trying not to imagine what the terrifying future will hold - what will await them. He tries to just let him mind go blank*

meanwhile

Todd: frack - just - there's no way I can - here's how to fix it - I keep taking that shoot, because this - I CANNOT THINK STRAIGHT!! frack!!

Claire: *tries not to think of all the possible ways that anything--everything--could happen to them or their baby. she tenses at the thought* ...

meanwhile

Key: !! J-Just STOP YELLING for a second and let me THINK!! DX

up

Harry: *leans over and peeks inside the tied up material, half expecting to see a rock. No. It is an infant - THEIR "dead" child* Oh my god...

Todd: :D !! Is it...?? Is it IT??

Jacob: ...

Claire: *stares at the baby in shock* I-It is...!!

Key: *nearly squeals from joy--considering the recent turn of events, this was the best thing that could have happened right now* :D

Alex: *sighs in relief, and grins--what luck.*

Baby: *was asleep--but was awakened by the commotion. it yawns, then opens its eyes and blinks at Harry and Claire--big green eyes*

Harry: W-wuh-well first we need to name it - wait - no - Jacob, come here!

Jacob: Yeah, yeah... *takes the baby out of the package, inspecting its private area* ... Boy.

Harry: Name. What do we name him? D:

Todd: Well, think! :D

Harry: ... ... *to Claire* ... what do you think about the name Sam?

Todd: D: ... ...

Claire: *doesn't see Todd's expression change* ...I like it. Sam it is. :)

Sam: :D

Key: *notices how Todd's face fell, and knows the reason behind the name, but doesn't say anything. she just keeps a smile on her face because she really truly is happy for them* :)

Alex: ...WOW. Who'da thought, a kid, HERE of all places?

Stork: *nods, having finished its job, and vanishes*

THE FISH: HAVE FUUUUUN. *POOFGONE*

THE RACCOON: I PUT BABY THINGS IN CLAIRE'S ROOM.*POOFGONE*

Jacob: *gives Sam to Claire* Keep him away from Malvagita.

Harry: ... this is... I don't know. This is really new...

Jacob: Breast feeding will get awkward.

Todd: ...

Claire: ... *is at a loss for words. a minute ago, they thought their child was dead--now, he's there in her arms. she wasn't sure how to feel--relieved, overjoyed, worried terrified--she felt all those, all at once* ...

Sam: ... :D *makes grabby hands at Harry*

Claire: ! Erm... Harry, I think Sam wants you to hold him.

Key: ...

Alex: ...

Harry: ! ... Ah... uh... I-I don't know... i-if he really wants me to... th-then I guess I should... *he carefully takes Sam from Claire*

Todd: ... that is a really cute baby.

Jacob: ...

Sam: *coos happily* :D

Alex: Yeah, seriously. You guys made one good-lookin' baby.

Claire: ^///^;

Key: heheh... :)

Harry: ... *he holds Sam carefully, surprised at how positive of a reaction the baby let out when Harry held him* ... He likes me...

Todd: Well, DUH - you're his daddy. :3

Jacob: *snorts at this*

Key: He's just so cute! <3

Sam: *looks at Todd when he speaks and pauses, then makes grabby hands towards him*

Alex: Friendly little guy, huh?

Claire: Apparently so... :) Harry, let Todd hold him.

Todd: Omigosh, I can hold him?? 8D

Jacob: Peeedooo...

Todd: |8C

Harry: *laughs a little and hands Sam to Todd*

Todd: *holds Sam* :D

Sam: *giggles* :D

Key: Looks like Sam likes you too. ^^

Claire: *watches them, still smiling. she was glad to see that Sam had brought up everybody's mood... perhaps raising a child here wouldn't be so hard, with how many people seemed eager to help*

Todd: *cuddling it* Oh my god, I am so stealing this baby. :D

Harry: Do that, and I will rip you in half. |:D

Todd: <_< ... *cuddles*

Jacob: Well, isn't this a cheery moment.

Sam: ^^

Key: Welllll.... we can still babysit, right? ^^;

Alex: I can vouch for her, she used to babysit a lot.

Claire: I don't know, it's not like we have work or anything... we're all out at the same time. D:

Harry: Well, what if we wanted to be alone for a night? :P

Todd: Why, YES. :D

Harry: And even still, I'm sure we can let them take care of Sam if they wanted to - it's not like they'll be force-feeding him DRUGS, after-all.

Jacob: Aha... yeah. Force-feeding... drugs. Erm...

Key: *glances at Jacob suspiciously, remembering that she needed to talk to him... she turns her attention back to Claire* Can I hold him next? :D

Claire: Sure, if Todd lets go of him. ^^

Sam: *is quite comfortable with Todd, not minding his appearance at all* ^^

Harry: Give Sam up, Todd.

Jacob: Pedo Todd.

Todd: Aww... I have to give him to Key? Fiiine. :P *he gives Sam to Key*

Key: :D *holds Sam*

Sam: *stops smiling when Todd hands him over, and seems to get a bit agitated* ...

Key: *is confused by the sudden change in mood--she rocks him back and forth a bit* Sam...?

Sam: *grows more distressed the longer she holds him, and begins to cry*

Claire: !

Key: !! *hands him back to Todd*

Alex: D:

Todd: *holds Sam* D:>

Harry: What just happened? D:>

Jacob: He doesn't like Key. End of story.

Sam: *calms down when he's handed back to Todd* ...

Key: D:> .... that's... unfortunate... *is rather saddened by this*

Claire: *gives her an apologetic look* <:(

Key: ....

Alex: ...Well... babies are picky. He'll learn to like you, right? <:D

Key: right...
