The Dream. Common areas and Swindle's house. I Choose You!

[random_xtras]

Farsight and Rache are playing Pokemon trainers. Krieg has NO idea why they think he should pounce on Blizzard

Velvet: *facepaw, meowthy-snicker*

Rache: ...This ain't working.

Farsight: Why's Velvet laughing?

Velvet: *is a Pokemon. Is amuuuuuused.*

Rache: *looks over* Huh. Dunno

Tam: They have noooooo clue. *snerk*

Velvet: Meowth, memememeow ow meowth meow!

Rache: Okay, you pounce on Blizzard.

Velvet: Meowth. *folds forarms. Nope, you aren't my trainer.*

Jenn: *giggle*

Tam: *snerk* Hey, Swindle, look at this.

Swindle: *comes over*

Farsight: *to Blizzard* I choose you! :D Now jump on Krieg, okay?

Swindle: O.o... *facepalm*

Velvet: Meowth!

Tam: They're being Pokemon trainers. *snerk*

Rache: I'll give ya tuna.

Blizzard: o.O o.O o.O

Tam: These kids need to be distracted, Swindle.

Rache: *idea!* I'll give the cat that wins tuna!

Roxy: *this tuna she just ate?*

Velvet: *laughing*

Tam: *impressed* That's a well trained minion, Velvet.

Jenn: *giggle*

Farsight: *looks in the tuna container and laughs too* *then looks up at his daddy*

Swindle: Why are we playing Pokemon trainers... without Pokemon?

Rache: 'Cause we don't got Pokemon. Just the ball, with yer ship in it.

Swindle: *facepalm* My ship is not in a pokeball.

Rache: Really? It's empty?

Swindle: Yep

Rache: *pulls that ball out of her pocket and regards it with glee*

Farsight: :o How'd you get that?

Velvet: *facepalm*

Rache: *runs off screaming, and gets bittyLug in the ball*

Swindle: Oh for...

Zoe: *comes out to see what's got her mate feeling that way* Swindle?

Swindle: I think Rache caught her brother...

Velvet: Meowth?

Zoe: *blink blink* How did she get the pokeball?

Swindle: That I don't know

Zoe: I'll get it. *heads toward the young maniac, who is arguing with bittyStryka*

Swindle: *siigh*

Rache: *surrenders the ball, then sits and frowns at Walrus as he TELLS her*

bittyLug: *pops out of the pokeball and looks around, then meeps as he's tacklehugged by bittyStryka*

Zoe: *laughing now at the cute*

Swindle: Are you okay, Luggy?

bittyLug: Xp I'm kissied!

Swindle: *laughs!*

Zoe: XD XD

Farsight: Ewwwwww!

Krieg: *slarps the bitties*

bittyLug: 0_0 Now we're both kissied.

Velvet: Mememememe! *GIGGLE*

Krieg: *huh? Okay!* *slarp Velvet*

Zoe: *more laugh!*

Velvet: o.o MEOWTH!!!

Krieg: *and slarps Blizzard too, for good measure*

Blizzard: *licks back*

Krieg: *happy big dog*

Velvet: *want bath now*

Zoe: *looks at her sympathetically* You want a cornstarch bath, or the tub?

Velvet: Owth...

Zoe: *leans down and offers hands* Come on into the house.

Velvet: *jumps into Zoe's hand*

Zoe: *hip bumps mate gently as she turns to bring the Meowth and the cat who joined her into the house* -Will you wash Farsight? The girls are already in bed.-

Swindle: -Of course, hehe- *picks up Farsight*

Farsight: *looks up with sparkling optics* Daddy, I choose you!

Swindle: Hahaha. *takes Farsight to the washrack*

Farsight: *points at the Blitzwing in the washracks* Pounce on him!

Swindle: You need a bath first...

Blitzwing: o.O ...Why is Swindle going to pounce me?

Farsight: Because I chose him. *big grin* Rache had the pokeball.

Blitzwing: Pounce is one of Swindle's moves?

Swindle: *snerk*

Cat: MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW

Farsight: *looks down* Jenn's kitty followed us.

Swindle: He won't come in too much. Too much water.

Farsight: Why don't kitties like water? Oh yeah. *looks back at Blitzwing* What else do you do when you get someone, other than pounce them?

Blitzwing: I tie them up and snuggle them and feed them!

Swindle: ...Goof.

Farsight: But that's not Pokemon trainer stuff.

Blitzwing: ...I'm not a Pokemon!

Farsight: Just Velvet is. But she won't play.

Swindle: Well, she does think of me as her trainer. So she probably wouldn't take orders from anyone else. Besides, she also knows no one else here is a Pokemon. She MAY do Pay Day on them...

Farsight: On other Pokemons?

Swindle: On anyone. Which is... throwing money at them.

Farsight: 0.0

Swindle: A pawful of coins can hurt, I guess

Farsight: She throws away money? *sounds utterly brain broken*

Swindle: No, she'd pick it up after the battle. Or expect you to do it.

Farsight: Ohhhh. *little laugh*

Swindle: *now washing a Farsight*

Farsight: *makes the usual faces that a little kid makes when scrubbed* Blizzy, I'm all wet!

Blizzard: Mrow! *amused*

Farsight: *shakes water at his best friend*

Blizzard: Rowr!

Farsight: *laughs, and then wriggles and giggles as he's scrubbed*

Swindle: *scrubba scrubba scrubba*

Farsight: *meep! Giggle! Wriggle*

Starfire: *looks in with a grin at the giggling, has his own youngest, filthy grubby, sleeping under one arm*

Swindle: Krieg kissed him. Among other playing. ^^

Starfire: *chuckles* And I found this one sleeping over by where they were playing. *starts scrubbing the young foundling* We think we might have found where he belongs. We bring him home tomorrow.

Swindle: Oh?

Starfire: *nods, smiling a little sadly* His parents left him drifting in space while they decoyed some Decepticons away. *holds up the young deep space shuttle bot and scrubs the other side of him*

Swindle: Ohhh

Starfire: Our own youngest will miss him.

Swindle: *nods, and rinses Farsight*

Starfire: Did you see Dad today?

Farsight: *getting sleepy from warm water*

Swindle: I hadn't

Starfire: Hmm. I wonder if I should go poke him in the morning. Make sure he's not growing cobwebs. *good-natured grin* Not that Stormfire and Skyfire would let him.

Swindle: No, they'd keep him cobweb free *snerk* *now drying Farsight*

Starfire: *chuckles, then looks at himself and meeps softly before going to a shower stall to wash both himself and the sleeping youngster*

Swindle: *chuckles*

Blitzwing: *is dry tooooo*

Farsight: I'm sleepy, Blizzy. Are you? *dozy expression*

Blizzard: *yawn* Mrow

Farsight: Okay. *looks around for Blitzwing* Grandpa? Goodnight hug?

Blitzwing: Of course *will give Farsight a hug*

Farsight: *happy cuddle, then goes back to Swindle*

Swindle: *takes... then MEEPS as he's hugged!* Blitzwing!

Farsight: *much giggle*

Zoe: -Swindle??-

Blitzwing: *laugh*

Swindle: -...Blitzwing gave me a goodnight hug*

Zoe: *laughs* *wishes husband would be home as soon as he's ready*

Swindle: *smirk... and teleports home*

Zoe: *grins from where she's standing in the doorway of Farsight's room*

Swindle: *gonna put Farsight to bed*

Blizzard: *gonna join Farsight in bed*

Zoe: *softly* Awwww.

Swindle: *tucks them both in*

Zoe: We haven't been to the ranch in awhile.

Swindle: No, we haven't

Zoe: Think it's time for a family vacation?

Swindle: That... sounds like a great idea

Zoe: *grins* Tomorrow?

Swindle: Tomorrow

Zoe: *love bombs him gently, and then comes over to kiss the sleeping Farsight on the helm*

Swindle: *purr*

Zoe: *grins* Bed? Or do you want to sit up over tea?

Swindle: Tea? I'm not tired yet

Zoe: *chuckles and heads for the kitchen* What flavour would you like it?

Swindle: ...Surprise me?

Zoe: Alright. *but she thinks of the smell of a Christmas tree as she makes the tea*

Swindle: *raises optic ridge*

Zoe: *chuckles and brings him Christmas tea and Ginger Swindles*

Swindle: *chuckles*

Zoe: *grins, and then sits across from him after handing him his mug and the plate* *sips from her own mug and settles down to talk*
