Leah; 8set some clean dishes away8

Ricardo: *wiped some of the empty tables*

Morty: *just came out frm stock-chking* Hey, Leah. How's things at home? Has Drix been better?

Leah; Getting there

Morty: Heh, I can tell. U came to work today 'blooming', so to speak *grins*

Leah; 8went scarlet8

Morty: *chuckles* Well, at least tht's good news. Hopefully he'll be bk to his old self soon

Leah; So do I

Morty: Btw, evr thought of slightly expanding a little? Its getting a little too crowded in this restaurant n we're getting an extra good flow of customers these days

Ricardo: Si, esp wen the new cells hv came out frm hibernation n stuff

Leah; How?

Morty: Well, we could always use the extra floor up. I heard there's supposed to be an entrance somewhere on the upstairs dining tht leads to a newer floor up

Leah; 8looked round8

Ricardo: Awesome. A treasure hunt. Lets go find it

Julian; 8rolled his eyes8

Ricardo: *joined Morty up to the upstairs dining to find the entrance*

Leah; 8looked round8

Morty: Found anything?

Ricardo: Nope, still searching *tapping the walls to see if there was a hidden door somewhere*

Leah; 8ran her hands against the ceiling8

Morty: *was leaning against one of the walls near the upstairs toilet for guests wen he suddenly fell in* Woah~!

Julius; 8came over8

Ricardo: Woah, wat happened?

Morty: This wall suddenly gave way n... *looks up* Hey, its a stairway! I think we found it

Julius; 8shined a torch upstairs8

*the stairway led to a sort of attic-ish room upstairs tht looked like it used to be an old storage*

Leah; 8looked round8

Ricardo: See anything interesting?

Morty: Looks like an old storage plc to me

Julius; 8looked at the boxes and items8

*there were old records of the previous owners of the plc, bt most of the stuff ard were junk*

Ricardo: Hey, found some nice recipe books. Maybe we can borrow them or let Di sell them for half-price

Morty: Well, this was technically a restaurant on its own before u guys bought this ovr

Leah; 8looked through the records8

*the records were mostly monetary records, showing a steady business at the beginning of the yrs, then slowly a decline wen there was a change in management*

Leah; 8scratched her head8

*the records then showed tht the business worsen aftr Goliath became the thousand yr stone as evryone was locked in n food was getting scarce. It barely managed for 10 yrs before it became shut dwn for good*

Leah; 8bit her lip8

Morty: Anything useful here in those records, boss?

Leah; 8showed him8

Morty: *looked thru* Woah, looks like this plc had been gone for a gajillion yrs before u guys took ovr

Julius; 8rolls his eyes8 More like forcenturies or so before closing

Ricardo: Well, this looks pretty alright, nice n spacious, maybe good for ppl who want to book a private room. We just need to knock on the walls a bit to add more windows

Leah; 8nods8

Morty: Bt first we need to get rid of these old junk here n do a little spring cleaning n renovation

Leah; 8lifted a few boxes8

Morty: *joined in, bringing Excalibur to help*

Ricardo: *called for Antonio n helped out too*

Antonio; 8joined them8

*the restaurant crew also came to help move n dust the place*

Ricardo: *helped make calls with the ppl who helped them renovate the restaurant to make an appointment for another renovation for this new floor*

Morty: So, wat r we gonna do with these recipe books? Keep em or give em to Di?

Leah; Keep them if they're useful

Morty: Cool, I'll add it into the office shelves then *brought them to the office*

Leah; 8drew out a few plans8

Ricardo: Wat abt all this old junk?

Morty: We can sort it out n see which ones would work nice for the restaurant. The rest we can sell it off to pawn shops or second hand shops

Julius; 8looked them over8

*most of the stuff were super junk, some not practical, bt there were a few decors tht were nice for the restaurant*

Julius; 8set these aaside8

Morty: *helped picked some too out of the pile*

Leah; 8loked round9

*there was a picture at the corner of tht room, n it seemed to show a family picture of the last owners of the restaurant*

Leah; 8picked it up9

*they were all dressed in restaurant attire, showing tht this restaurant was apparently a family business*

Leah; 8smiled8

Ricardo: *saw it* Tht the previous owner?

Leah; And his family

Ricardo: Nice. We could put it at the receptionist counter, like a piece of history

Leah; 8nods8 8wiping the dust off the nameplate8

*the nameplate reveals "PRIMROSE CLAN: PUCK RESTAURANT & CATERING"*

Leah; Puck?

Ricardo: Huh, I guess they named their restaurant aftr tht crafty elf

Julius; Seems so

Ricardo: Tht's original *was being a bit sarcastic*

Antonio; 8glared at him8

Ricardo: *raised a brow* Wat?

Morty: Neways, the renovation guys said they'll be here first thing tomorrow aftrnoon. I suppose we need to close the restaurant for a while for the renovations

8everyone nodded8

Ricardo: *brings out the 'CLOSED FOR RENOVATION' sign n hung it out the door*

Leah; 8looked at the family photo8

Morty: See anything interesting in there, boss?

Leah; Vondering if any of the family's still around

Morty: Its been a thousand yrs since then, they've prolly thinned out or gone or something

Leah; 8looked at it8 Possib;y

Morty: So, is tht gonna go on the wall of the receptionist counter?

Leah; 8nods8

Morty: Sweet *carries the junk tht was not needed* Well, better bring these to pawn shops n second-hand shops *whistled for Excalibur*

8the dog ran up to him8

Morty: *climbs up* Brb, boss *turns to Julius* Wanna come with me, lovebug?

Julius; 8sat next to him and held on8

Morty: Lets go, pup *clicked his heels*

Excalibar; 8took off8

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 5-9

*a knock was heard*

Vincent; 8looked through the peephole8

*it was Eduardo along wtih a bespectacled white blood she-cell, looking like the child services*

Vincent; 8let them in8

Eduardo: Howdy. How's the kid with ya?

Boy: *flinched at the police wear Eduardo was wearing n ran to hide behind Dieter*

Vincent; He has quite an appitite

Eduardo: No surprise there, since he's been living in the streets. This is Ms Vihto, frm child services. She will need to assess the boy for a while

Ms Vihto: I'd like it if the child n I hv a room in private so I can assess him professionally

Vincent; Not a good idea 8looked at the boy8

Ms Vihto: Maybe if ur kids can accompany him, I think it should be fine

Eduardo: Besides, there r things I would like to speak to u abt the boy in private

Dieter: Dont vorry, mein liebe. I'm sure he'll be alright. Sveetie, ze nice young lady vants to hv a small talk vith jou. Dominik n Emily vill accompany jou, so jou dont hv to be alone. Can jou do dat?

Vincent; 8looked at him8

Boy: *looks warily at Ms Vihto for a while, then at the twins, then nodded quietly*

Twins: *takes either side of the boy's hands n led him to the study, in which Ms Vihto followed behind them*

Vincent; 8looked at Eduardo8

Dieter: *offered Eduardo some coffee*

Eduardo: *nodded a thanks n sat dwn* Well, there is not much to go by, bt frm preliminary results, the bodies were definitely the boy's parents

Vincent; we guessed that

Eduardo: The coroner was surprised tht the father of the boy is actually chickenpox, we dont get humanoid chickenpox virus vry often, well, actually, almost nvr in this decade

Vincent; 8wasn't surprised8

Eduardo: Coroner said he could be one in a trillion where he gains sentience aftr adapting to this city. Who knws, he might've mutated to humanoid by then n been homeless since

Dieter: Vat abt ze mutter, sir?

Vincent; 8arched a brow8

Eduardo: Well, we found her name was Susanne Taede, she used to be a model wen the fame, drugs n alcohol ate up her life. Apparently she went a little starstruck crazy aftr almost OD-ing, then she found she was replaced without her knowledge or consent, n she's been on the streets evr since. She must've met up with the chickenpox guy at some shelter n hooked up with him somehow. We still dunno the chickenpox guy identity. He's not registered in the system, so we're just calling him Doe for now.

Vincent; The price of fame

Dieter: Poor girl. Wat waz zier cause of death?

Eduardo: Both died of OD-ing n starvation, bt mostly OD. I'm surprised the boy evn survived. Did the kid give u his name?

Vincent; 8shook his head8

Eduardo: Huh, well, I'm sure Ms Vihto will be able to get some info out of him

Vincent; 8looked unsure8

Dieter: *patted Vince's hand*

Vincent; 8looked at him8

Ms Vihto: *soon came out, along with the twins who led the boy to their room to play*

Vincent; 8looked over8

Eduardo: Well, wat is the assessment, Ms Vihto?

Ms Vihto: Well, I couldnt get him to speak much, bt it doesnt look like he's mute. My professional opinion is tht he may be autistic

Dieter: Did he give a name?

Ms Vihto: *shook her head*

Vincent; 8frowns slightly8

Eduardo: How bad his autism? Will he be able to communicate n stuff?

Ms Vihto: Its not a vry severe case, bt he will hv the basic mild tendencies. He's gonna need extra care n lots of patience. I can recommend a home for the special needs...

Dieter: Nien! *suddenly shout out of impulse*

Vincent; 8glared at her, snarling8

Eduardo: *was surprised* Dieter, ur not suggesting tht...

Dieter: Ja, I'm suggesting eet. I vill adopt ze boy

Ms Vihto: I'm sorry, bt I cannot recommend it if u hv no experience...

Vincent; Experience isn't always required

Dieter: Ve vill take him. Ve vill care for him. Eef jou vant to send in an expert to help us vith eet, eets fine, bt ve vill not let jou take him avay

Vincent; 8nods8

Ms Vihto: *could see they were serious n sighed* Vry well, if u insist, bt I must insist tht u hv an expert monitor ur progress, n he will need to be in special classes so u can cope with him

Vincent; 8thought depends on the school8

Dieter: Ve'll see how zings go

Eduardo: Well, I guess the kid's all urs now. I suppose u should give him a name to be entered in the registrar sooner or later

Vincent; We'll see how things go

Eduardo: *nodded n got up, escorting Ms Vihto n left*

Dieter: *sent them out*

Vincent; 8went to check on the kids8

*the twins were asleep, cuddling against the boy, n the boy was leaning against the shelves, asleep as well*

Vincent; 8stroked his cheek gently8

Dieter: *peeks in n chuckles* He lookz vry peaceful

Vincent; 8smiled8

Dieter: I zink I better go bk to ze shop for a vhile to chk on zings n maybe close up eef need to. Jou vill be OK vith ze chiddlers?

Vincent; I will

Dieter: *nods n kissed Vincent before he left*

Vincent; 8brought the kids to their rooms8

Boy: *mumbled a little in his sleep as he was carried*

Twins: *fussed a bit bt didnt wake*

Vincent; 8tucked the twins into their bed before bringing the boy to the guest room8

Boy: *mumbled a bit, something tht sounded like 'Mommy', nuzzling against Vincent, still sleeping*

Vincent; 8kissed his forehead8

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 5-8

Vincent; 8held him close, stroking his back8

Boy: *struggled for a while, whacking at Vincent before stopping slowly, sobbing in a whining tone*

Vincent; it's ok, you're safe now

Dieter: *finished cleaning the twins n came in with them* Eez evryzing OK?

Orion; 8rolled his eyes8

Takashi: *giggled* Cant blame her. She was knocked up before the wedding. She cant help her mood swings

Orion; True, they're unpredicable

Takashi: *sipped his too*

Orion; 8nuzzled him8

Takashi: *giggled n nuzzled him bk, kissing him*

Orion; 8kissed him back8

Takashi: *kissed him deeper, held him close*

Orion; Worn themselves out

Takashi: Hehe, more like the ramen wore them out

Orion; 8chuckled8

Takashi: Tonbo is a little less cranky now, bt I bet later on he's gonna be bawling his head off again. His fever has gone dwn a little tho

Orion; Anything we need to do?

Takashi: Just make sure he doesnt get any hotter, n maybe ask Drix for some fever meds if he gets worse. We dont want him to damage his brain

Orion; 8nods8

Takashi: *made sure Tonbo was settled n kissed him before kissing Orion*

Orion; 8kissed him back8

Klepta: *scratched his head* Another groupie present, perhaps

Rouge; Careful bro

Klepta: *nods n opens the package, showing tht it was a teddy bear*

8everyone exchanged looks8

Klepta: Huh, totally another groupie present. If it isnt teddy bears, its fan mail or flowers *picks up to examine the teddy bear n dont see any foul play*

Rouge; 8rolled his eyes8

Rodeo: So adding it to ur collection or throwing it out?

Klepta: I guess I'll keep it. It looks pretty cute. Grey teddy with a blue nose. Its an interesting make

Levitania; 8shook her head8

Lavinia: U just dont like throwing out things. U love the attention *chuckles*

Rouge; 8snorts8

Klepta: *pouts* Am not!

Ambrose: They always say ur the popular one

8the sisters sniggered8

Klepta: Oh right, says the guy who totally got glomped by a crazy ass fan frm behind n made u fall off the percussion stage in the middle of a concert

Rodeo: *snorted, trying to hold bk his laughter*

Rouge; 8bit his tongue to stop laughing8

Ambrose: *puffed up his cheeks n glared at Klepta, something he did wen he was annoyed*

Klepta: Its true~!

Rouge; 8looked over the bear8

Rodeo: *looked ovr it too*

Klepta: *noticed n handed them the bear*

Rouge; 8examined it8

Roue; 8ighed8 Fans

Klepta: See? Nothing wrong with it *takes the bear to bring it to his room*

Ambrose: I bet u wish u get as much gifts as Klep does *smirked at the rest of the sibs*

Rodeo: Maybe~?

Rouge; 8gags8

Rodeo: Its nice to hv fans

Lavinia: *laughs* I like groupies n fans, bt they're kinda scary sometimes

Latvina; Especially the obsessive ones

Ambrose: Yeesh, I remember tht one who used to stalk u

Lavinia: Yeah, sis. Remember the groupie tht toally fantasize u being their Queen Bee or something n built a shrine for u n stalked u wen we were at City of Kane?

Rodeo: Oh, I remember tht. We were still following leads to find Oz tht time

Latvina; 8blushed scarlet8

Ambrose; Yeah, had to give them a restriction order wen some of ur personal things started going missing to put on their shrine

Rouge; 8shuttered8

Ambrose: Well, looks like this one is harmless, the bear looks alright

Rouge; 8shrugged8

Klepta: *came out* So wat's the schedule for the day?

Latvina; 8looked at it8

Lavinia: Nothing much, just the usual rehearsals n stuff, n also some photoshoots for the magazines

Lavtina; 8sighed8

Ambrose: At least its not a hectic schedule. I guess since Olivia n Miracle r out of commission for a while, there's nothing for us to do

Rouge; I call that a relief

Rodeo: Meh, I'd be bored to tears. Moping abt is not my thing *pouts*

Rouge; 8snorts8

Ambrose: Meh, ur always the hyper one, go bungee jumping or something

Rodeo: *grins* I just might

Lavinia: Aww, they r so precious~ Bt the twins, who's who?

Ambrose: *reads* Says here, the red band is the elder twin Ophelia, n the the green on is Odette

Rouge; They'll cause some mischief when they're older

Rodeo: Just like we did wen we were younger *grins* Remember bk in kindy?

Rouge; 8snorts and sniggers8

Lavinia: Dont forget us! We drove our grammar school teacher insane with our tactics *giggled*

Lavtina; 8giggled8

Ambrose: U girls drove Dad crazy too sometimes

Rodeo: While we drove Mom insane with our shennanigans

8the twins laughed8

Klepta: *just got in* Wat did I miss?

Ambrose: Oh just talking abt the good ol days wen these two pair of twins drove ppl to the nut house with their twinny antics aftr seeing Paul's little girls

Rouge; 8smirked8

Klepta: Oh? U got a pic update?

Ambrose: *showed him the pics*

Klepta: Wow, Miracle's son is huge!

Rouge; Well his sire is a rabie virus

Klepta; Here, here. They might just outgrow their parents wen they're older

Lavtina; 8rolled her eyes8

Rodeo: Ooh, I can imagine tht, them towering ovr Miracle n Alexis *laughs*

Rouge; 8laughs8

Lavinia: They'd be giants, tht's for sure

Lavtina; Who knows

TOYLB: Lurker in the Shadows- Season 5-4

*meanwhile, Olivia was still in rehab, n her rehab of the day was the sensory deprivation chamber in the cylinder, bobbing in detox water with breathing apparatus on*

Thrax; 8narrowed his eyes8

Drix: *was there to monitor the progress*

Thrax; 8chewed his lip8

Drix: I hate to say this bt...the process is not going to be any faster with u pacing ard here

Thrax; 8snarled8

Drix: No offense bt u hv to be patient

Thrax; 8snorts8

Drix: *scribbling in his notepad* I had a bit of progress with Leah

Thrax; 8looked at him8

Drix: Yeah, I kinda initiated a little bit n somehow during our... "get together", I've started to remember quite a number of things

Thrax; Like what/

Drix: I remember how she looked like before she was virus, n some scents n sights of the room reminded me of things I used to like n love abt her, n I somehow remembered instinctively how to pleasure her the way I used to

Thrax; 8smirked8

Drix: Yeah, now I'm moving bk to the master room, n I'm planning to renew my vows with her

Thrax; Sounds like a plan

Drix: *smiled then sees the timer* Looks like we're almost done *signal one of the scientists to drain the cylinder*

8the cell did so8

*the cylinder was drained, lowering Olivia gently dwn the base*

Thrax; 8bit his tongue7

Drix: *waited till the cylinder is fully drained before opening it n taking her out, letting the attending female nurses to dry n dress her*

Thrax; 8picked her up8

Drix: *brings out a pen-like syringe* Her upper vitamins *gave her the shot*

Olivia: *whimpered bt doesnt wake*

Thrax; 8cradled her8

Drix: *chked her vitals* Hmm, she seems OK so far

Thrax; How long must this go on/

Drix: I'm not sure. Olivia has been fully cooperative bt unfortunately her body is not. It seems to be rejecting our treatment all the time, or evn wen we think it shows progress, it just resurface again. We're still trying to figure it out

Thrax; 8nuzzled her8

Drix: Hold up. I cant help bt notice something. Follow me to the scanner room, bring her along

Thrax; 8fallowed8

Drix: *led them to the scanner room* Put her on the scanning table

Thrax; 8gently lay her down8

Drix: *started up the scanning machine n it scanned thru Olivia's body*

Thrax; 8watch8

*the scanning machine showed some sort of fluorescent exoskeleton tht was within Olivia*

Drix: *was surprised* Huh, this nvr showed up before

Thrax; 8arched a brow8

Drix: Could be frm tht solution therapy just now *scanned some more* Seems like its some sort of grafting inside her body. I'm gonna need to take closer shots to see wat those graftings r

Thrax; 8nods8

Drix: *brought out something tht looked like a portable device n took closer snaps at Olivia's body*

Thrax; 8looked at him8

Drix: *all the shots revealed more grafting of exoskeletons* I'll examine these pics. U can take her to her room n hv her cleaned n dressed

Thrax; 8took her back to her room and dressed her8

Olivia: *whimpered bt didnt stir*

Thrax; 8stroked her face8

Olivia: *slowly blinked her eyes open*

Thrax; 8kissed her forehead8

Olivia: *her eyes focused n saw Thrax* Nnnhh...Daddy...?

Thrax; Hey angel

Olivia: Nnh...Is my session ovr?

Thrax; 8nods8

Olivia: Did it work? Is there anything more wrong?

Thrax; 8shook his head8

Olivia: OK *sat on the bed* Anything I've missed so far? How's the family doing?

Thrax; 8told her all he knew8

Olivia: Oh wow, I'm an aunty now *chuckles* Bt I hope Miracle would be OK

Thrax; We all do

Olivia: Identical twins for Paul, huh? I hope they've figured out how to tell them apart *grins*

Thrax; Hard to say yet

Olivia: Is Miracle's baby big as Polly this time?

Thrax; Possibly bigger since he is male

Olivia: Oi vey, must've been hard for him. I dunno whether I wanna hv kids or not *cringed a little*

Thrax; Ya still young

Olivia: *pouted a little* No, I'm not. I WAS 18 yrs old

Thrax; That's still no more than a child

Olivia: *pouts more* I'm always gonna be a baby to u no matter how old I am, arent I?

Thrax; 8chuckled and nuzzled her8

Olivia: *nuzzled bk* Wen will I get better, Daddy?

Thrax; 8bit his lip8

Olivia: *looks sad* I'm nvr getting better, am I? I'll nvr leave this plc, am I?

Thrax; You will get better

Olivia: *doesnt look vry convinced*

Thrax; 8held her8

Olivia: *nuzzled against Thrax's chest, sighed quietly*

Thrax; 8stroked her hair8

Olivia: *let him stroke her hair till he fell asleep*

Thrax; 8tucked her into bed8

Olivia: *sucked her thumb as she slept*

Thrax; 8quietly left8

Drix: *walked by* She alright?

Thrax; Fast asleep

Drix: *nods* Tht's good. U going off home now?

Thrax; 8nods8

Drix: Alright, give my regards to ur family. I'll let u knw wen I find anything abt Olivia's shots

Hippolyta: *reached up for Spryman*

Spryman: *bends dwn to carry her* Come, lets see ur new cousin

Alexis; 8fallowed them8

Spryman: *led them to his own ward where the twins were sleeping quietly in Pendragon's arms*

Alexis; 8smiled softly8

Spryman: *puts Hippolyta dwn n gently picks up the twins to show him* Ophelia n Odette. We got them colour bands to differentiate them. Ophelia is the older twin, red band. Odette is the younger, green band

Alexis; 8looked at them8

*both were super identical, n were a spitting female image of Pendragon*

Alexis; Ya gonna have ya hands full

Spryman: Yeah, bt at least I get to skip a grade coz of my flying colours, n I get to graduate early so I dont hv to leave my girls alone for too long. Besides there's always baby-sitters wen we're not home, n Mordred is a lecturer so he works in shifts

Alexis; I mean telling them apart

Spryman: Oh tht, well, haha, unless they decided to pull a switch on us, we're only gonna be able to rely on their different dressing to tell them apart *chuckles*

Alexis; Let's hope their personalities will help

Spryman: *chuckles* Yups *noticed the twins starting to whimper n fidgeting in their bottom* Oh, looks like they need a diaper change

Alexis; Need help?

Spryman: Well, u can help me with Odette *passed him the twin with the green band*

Alexis; 8gently lay her on the changing table8

Spryman: *undid Ophelia's diaper n cringed* Phew! She's got a boo-boo *brought Ophelia to the bathroom instead*

Odette: *had wet her diaper instead*

Alexis; 8quickly changed her8

Spryman: *washed Ophelia n cleaned her bottom, before taking her out to dry her n changed her*

Odette: *nommed her fist wen she was being changed*

Alexis; 8stroked her cheek before liftiing her8

Odette: *fussed a little, wanted to be with her mother*

Spryman: *finished changing Ophelia* Alright, sweetie, Mommy's coming

Alexis; 8cradled her8

Spryman: *cuddled Ophelia in one arm n took Odette with the other* Thanks, Uncle Alex

Alexis; Any time

Spryman: *puts the babies into the crib* Cant believe I gave birth to two, I almost felt like dying

Pendragon; 8nuzzled him8

Spryman: *giggled* I'm glad I survived it tho

Alexis; 8smiled softly8

Spryman: I hope Mira would be OK, tht he'll pull thru, n I'm kinda worried abt Momma too

Alexis; He'll pull through, he's a fighter

Spryman: *nods with a sad smile*

Alexis; 8stroked the girls' cheeks8

Spryman: Arent they beautiful?

Alexis; 8smiles8 They are

Nurse: *wrote dwn the name in her pad* I'll key it into the registrar later. Looks like ur mate is stable for now. He's in an induced coma, so we estimate he'll wake up in abt a couple of mths the least

Alexis; 8nods8 Do you have any idea what caused this?

Nurse: Well, he has admitted a few times before in the past during his pregnancy, n quite recently as well by Officer Eduardo. The trauma he had experienced hv sorta compromised ur son's growth of the heart, thus its weak

Samson: *latched onto the nipple n started suckling*

Alexis; 8smiled8

Hippolyta: *watched Samson nursed, fascinated*

Alexis; 8kept close watch8

Hippolyta: Is Mommy gonna be OK? Will he wake up?

Alexis; Only time will tell sweetie

Hippolyta: *looked a little worried n sad*
