TOYLB: Where There's Smoke... - Season 3-5

*ovr the nxt couple of days, there was no major incident, other than the occasional dark fog coming in whenever Goliath smoked. Everyone had to stay indoors during tht time or wear protective breathing gear provided by the city when they hv to go outdoors*

Thrax; 8snarled to himself8

Klepta: *came home frm doing the groceries with Lavinia n Lavatnia, quickly slamming the door before any of the smog came in*

Lavinia: *took off her breathing gear* Phew! Wat a wreck out there!

Lavatina; 8taking off her own8 No kidding

Klepta: Are all the groceries in one piece? None of them being smogged

Lavinia: None here

Lavatina; 8looked at hers8

*there were some of them gone a bit black, bt the rest were fine*

Lavatina; 8started separating them8

Lavinia: Man, the smog reli got to the strawberries. I was hoping to make strawberry shortcake for dessert today *looked at the things Lavatnia had to separate*

8some of the food in the bags were ok but the food at the top was now spoilt8

Klepta: *inspected his too, bt thankfully he folded the top of his grocery bag, so they were all in one piece*

8everyone sorted through what they could9

Loki: *peeked out frm the lounge room, feeding both Edi n Crystal at the same time* Need any help, guys?

Rouge; It's ok, we've got it

Loki: *nodded n continued nursing the babies*

8they managed to place everything away8

Ozzy: *came dwnstairs with Kiaran n signed* How was today?

Kiaran: *translated to them*

Rouge; We hope this'll be over soon

Ozzy: *sees the breathing gear n nodded in agreement*

Kiaran: Is it reli stinky out there?

Sakura; 8rolled her eyes8 Poisonous Kairan

Kiaran: *rolled his eyes too* Fine. Poisonous?

Lavinia: Like u wouldn't believe, sweetheart

Klepta: We saw a few tht didnt bring their breathing gear wen the smog hits. Its not pretty

8everyone shuddered8

Rodeo: Wat the hell is the mayor thinking anyways? He's basically committing indirect murder on us

Lavinia: Grief makes ppl do crazy things sometimes, I suppose. He did lose his wife n child

Rouge; 8felt as though there was more to the story8

Rodeo: I can see ur wheels in ur head turning, bro. Wat's in ur mind? Care to share?

Rouge; It's nothing, just things round around

Klepta: Well I guess this is wat we can salvage so far. Let's make lunch with wat we hv. I think Ambrose will be coming bk with dinner groceries

Rodeo: Where is he anyways?

Klepta: He's got something he needs to clear off with our manager before helping us apply for hiatus for the band. He usually does most of the paperwork n more serious side of the band after all

Rodeo: In other words, he's the nerd of the family

Rouge; 8nodded8

Klepta: 8snorted8

Loki: 8had done nursing the babies8 I'm done with the babies. Need help to make lunch?

Rouge; You do too much love

Loki: I'll be fine. I'm not just a babysitter or a wetnurse anymore. I'm family

Rouge; 8nuzzles him8

Klepta: Well if u insist, u can help out with the omelletes

Loki: Sure *went to start cooking them*

Rouge; 8helped out8

*outside, the smog still has yet to disappate*

Ozzy: *signed* Uh-oh, better make sure we've shut all the windows *went to chk*

8the others made sure all areas were tightly sealed n blocked8

Ozzy: *signed* All good?

Alexis; All sealed

Dieter: All closed here too. Vat abt jour side zere, Leah?

Leah; Bolted tight

Miracle: *looked out the window* Oh gosh...

Alexis; 8looked out8

*a few stragglers tht didn't hv breathing gear were outdoors n was unable to outrun the smog, n they were all on the floor gasping for air, slowly dying as their membranes turned grey like ash*

Antonio; 8looked ill8

Miracle: Poor guys. I wish we could go out there n help them...

8the brothers exchanged looks9

Ricardo: Dont think we can. They're goners either way. U see wat tht smog does to food in just a short time? Imagine tht kind of damage on a cell

Leah; 8gulped9

Miracle: 8sighs8 I just hope they would send someone to take them away quick

Rodeo: They do. Once the smog clears someone frm the city council will send clean-up men to do the job. N usually its the germs tht r willing to do the dirty work

Thrax; 8sighed8

Rodeo: Speak of the devil 8pointed out the window8

8everyone looked out8

8the germs came out with white suits n black bags n started collecting all the dead cells tht littered the streets tht didnt make it to shelter8

Rouge; 8shivered8

Ozzy: 8shuddered8 -Makes me wonder which was worse: Frank, Hector, Christine or here in Goliath-

Thrax; 8wrapped his arms round him8 Baby compared to the humans a gargoyle city is better

Ozzy: 8held his arms8 -How can it be? Look at this. Goliath is smoking. He's killing ppl by the dozens. I knw its not his fault, bt still...-

Thrax; We'll get the bastard, I promise you

Ozzy: 8nuzzled against him8

Loki: Lunch is ready, everyone

8everyone gathered in the dining room8

8it was not much of a big spread, due to the number limit of good food tht didn't hit the smog, bt just enough to feed the family8

Rory; 8bit into a bit of grilled fish8

Kiaran: 8munched on a corn cob8

Ozzex: 8copied him8

Sakura; 8enjoyed some gumbo8

Ozzy: *had gumbo too*

Thrax; 88was enjoying some fresh jambalaya salad8

*everyone enjoyed their meal*
