randomplaces | Dream. Common Area and Swindle's house. Nap, and then a visit from Carl.

Zoe: *comes in and shows her husband an elegantly written note* Carl wants to come visit.

Swindle: He does? *perk* How is he doing?

Zoe: *happy smile as she puts the note into his hand* He says he's doing really well. He's got a wife now, and they're working a farm out on a quiet place on a galactic rim.

Swindle: That's great! *reads the note*

Carl: *wants to come visit. Has a surprise to show Swindle and wants to see how his sister and her family is doing*

Zoe: *sudden guilty blush* You might not want to tell him about me taking Blitzwing to the Hall of Law and letting him throw watermelons. *had actually managed to keep that a secret from her husband too till now!*

Swindle: ....Huhwhat?!

Zoe: 0.0 Oh. You didn't know about that. Hee... :D

Swindle: *facepalm*

Zoe: *so much blush* I was mad.

Silver: *much bittygiggle from the light fixture*

Swindle: ...How did I not feel that? Was I too tired to notice?

Zoe: *looks at her files* I encrypted it, and I think I was locked down when we did it.

Silver: -Me heped!- *bad baby giggles*

Swindle: ...I think I'm a bad influence on you... *slight smirk*

Zoe: Heh. //Blitzwing, Swindle knows about that watermelon incident now.//

Blitzwing: //Just now?//

Zoe: //Yup.// *grins at husband, knowing he can hear the conversation*

Blitzwing: *laughing now*

Zoe: *more blush*

Cloe: *beetles over holding onto the couches and then lets go so that she can crawl up onto her daddy's foot. Grins. Sneezes, and leaks oil* D:

Swindle: *meeps, goes to clean and cuddle*

Zoe: *aloud and over comms* //Oops! Poor Cloe!//

Blitzwing: //*meep!* What happened??//

Silver: -Pee pee on Daddyfoot.-

Cloe: -Not!-

Blitzwing: //Awwww...// *will not snicker at Swindle, nope*

Zoe: //Carl's coming to visit.// *yup, that's why the watermelon event came to mind*

Blitzwing: //Ooooo! How's he doing?//

Zoe: //He says he's doing well. He's got a wife, and he wants to show Swindle a surprise.//

Blitzwing: //Oooooo!//

Zoe: //I know. I wonder what it is! It's so good to hear that he's happy. ...Silver, why are you gnawing on my head?//

Silver: *sigh* -Teefs.-

Blitzwing: //I taught her well?//

Zoe: *laughs* //Yes, and she's teething.//

Blitzwing: //Oh oh...//

Cloe: *sneezes again and shares her feeling of outrage mentally and emotionally*

Zoe: o.o //And I thought Oppy was loud.//

Swindle: Meep! *check Cloe for viruses*

Cloe: *has firebite* *chews on her finger and frowns*

Swindle: Eeep... *huggle* Cloe's sick.

Zoe: *looks over quickly* What is it?

Swindle: Firebite

Zoe: Oh. *relieved* It doesn't look too bad. *goes over to put an arm around her husband and gently rest her hand on her youngest daughter's little head as the sparklet cuddles against Swindle* She's a little warm though. Maybe we should all go have a nap. Carl won't be here till later.

Swindle: A nap would be good. Got my planned work done today. ^.^;

Zoe: *happy bomb!*

yOp: -Wow! What was that?-

Swindle: -Happy Zoe.-

yOp: *laughs* -What's the occasion?-

Silver: -Nap! Nom nom nom nom...- *gnaws on mamahead*

Swindle: -Naptime... and Carl's coming over later.-

yOp: -Sweeet! Want me to start up the barbecue?-

Swindle: -Hmmm... sounds good to me.-

yOp: -Alright! See you after the nap!-

Swindle: Want me to teleport everyone to our pillowpit? And Farsight... //Farsight, want a naptime?//

Farsight: *is a feeling of deep sleep and contented thoughts about sleeping in the nice pillowcase that smells like Daddy*

Swindle: *laughs*

Zoe: *as Silver chortles too* What's funny?

Swindle: *shares the feelings from Farsight*

Zoe: Awwwww! *laughs* He's in your sleeping bag.

Swindle: Yep.

Zoe: *snuzzles him* Yes. I wish for that teleport.

Swindle: *grins, and teleports everyone into the pillow pit*

Cloe: *fusses a bit, then sneezes and growls a bittygrowl at the sneeze*

Swindle: Shhhshhh, you'll be better.

Cloe: *big sigh, but then thinks of her favourite little doll baby and makes a little wish*

Zoe: *gently taking Farsight out of the pillow case and cuddling the little guy as Silver crawls down to snuggabubby*

Swindle: *grants the little wish*

Cloe: *cuddles her dolly and her daddy and closes her eyes* *big sigh, and a little sniffle of her intakes*

Swindle: *cuddle, then moves to cuddle Zoe, Silver and Farsight as well*

Zoe: *gives him a little kiss and leans her forehead against his* :)

Swindle: -Nap?-

Zoe: -Nap.- *love*

Swindle: *Gets into his pillowcase and purrs*

Zoe: *cuddles husband and littles and slips into recharge as her three little ones snuggle and doze off too*

later

yOp: *gives his dad a bowl of cinna mud with fruity sweet oil on it* *grins* Dessert first?

Swindle: You're as bad as Blitzwing. *does take, though.*

yOp: *chuckles* It's not like it's not good for us. You could have just that for supper, if you wanted. *looks down as two tiny Seekerfemmes wind up in their father's bowl* *snerk*

Fireflight: *is happily chasing around with Walrus and the bittybots*

Swindle: True.

Walrus: Duck!

bittybots: *do so!*

Rache: *just accidentally dropped the rotten watermelon she found stored away in the back of a cupboard at home* 0_0

Fireflight: Wow! He knew what he was talking about this time!

bittyLug and bittyStryka: *too busy shutting off their sense of smell to reply!*

other bitties: *ditto!*

Swindle: *frown at smell* *wishes it away!*

Rache: *looks up at him, eyes still wide as she absently picks bittyColumba up despite the baby being about as tall as her* That thing exploded!

Swindle: They sometimes do... how'd we miss that one?

Rache: I don't know. It was back where Dad hides things. *rubs her nose, and then looks at the baby on her hip* Know what? I wish all the goo was gone and the seeds would grow. Wouldn't it be cool to have a watermelon patch?

bittyColumba: Melon?

Swindle: Well....

Farsight: Maybe it would be better not to have it in the middle of the lawn.

Rache: Hmmm. *looks at the spot*

Farsight: And we are going to have a little bit of snow for Christmas, aren't we?

Swindle: Yes, we usually do

Farsight: *nods gravely* *to Rache* Watermelons don't like snow.

Rache: Oh. :/

Swindle: However... I could probably wish them in a safe spot so they'd grow in the spring. >.>

Rache: *perks* Okay!

Swindle: *does that, wondering if anyone will remember about them next spring*

Zoe: *chuckles in his mind as she hears the thought. Is busy fixing up a nice place for Carl and his wife to stay while they visit*

Silver: *bittygiggle and feeds Cloe more of the yummy mush they're sitting in*

Swindle: *snerks at the two*

Carl: *is a sudden glad shout* Swindle!

Swindle: *turns, and grins* Carl, welcome!

Carl: *hurries over* Oh, set down the bowl please. There's someone I want you to meet! *is holding a newborn son!*

Swindle: *does so*

Silver and Cloe: :o

Carl: *carefully puts his baby into Swindle's big hand, his eyes holding tears* I wanted him to meet the rest of his family as soon as possible.

Swindle: *careful cuddles* He's adorable.

Carl: *arm around the shoulders of the dark haired lady that hurries up to stand next to him* Thank you. He takes after his mother. Gail, this is Swindle. My brother in law, and the head of our family. Swindle, this is my wife Gail. And that's Carl the second, but he usually gets called Sunny because, well. *nods to the big grin that the newborn is giving the bot holding him*

Swindle: A pleasure to meet you, Gail. *and then grins back at the newborn*

Sunny: *grin widens*

Gail: *has curly black hair and blue eyes so light that they look nearly silver. And she's also wearing pants* I've heard a lot about you. It's nice to finally meet you. *grins*

Swindle: *blushes at that*

Sunny: *has Mama's hair. Only his is standing up all over*

Carl: *looks over at the bowl and sees the little faces peeking out* *perks* What are they sitting in? Oh! *catches Farsight as the bitty gets over shyness enough to greet his uncle. Big hug!*

Swindle: ...Dessert.

Carl: *laughs* Is it human safe?

Silver: Silver wishes Sissy 'n Silver awww cyean!

Cloe: *nod nod. Is trying to climb out of the bowl*

Swindle: No, I don't think it is... *grants Silver's wish*

two little clean Seeklets: *plop on their butts on the grass by the bowl and laugh*

Carl: *lets go of Farsight to go hug the girls and kiss them on the helms*

Silver: O.O -Unca act funny!-

Swindle: -What do you mean, Silver?-

Silver: -Unca Carl never do dis before!-

Cloe: *doesn't care about that. Issa snugglin'*

Swindle: -Sometimes people change, Silver-

Zoe: *softly* -He's happy now. He knows what's good.-

Silver: Ohhhhh.

Carl: *stops chatting and asking her and Cloe questions* What is it, Silver?

Silver: You happy?

Carl: *big grin like he never did before* Yes. I'm happy.

Silver: *squee! Glomp!*

Swindle: *laughs, mindful of the baby in his hands*

Sunny: *laughs too!*

Gail: *looks up with another grin of her own as she hears that little belly laugh* Are you alright with him?

Swindle: Yes, I am. ^.^

Gail: Alright. *and then pauses and looks over her shoulder at a Rache yell. Brows go up as she sees bittyLug tackle the girl and take something away from her* Um...?

Rache: *had a firecracker and was just about to give in to temptation and let it off somewhere inappropriate*

Swindle: Two of Blitzwing's children.

Gail: Are they fighting? *startles as Walrus grabs her leg while yelling at his siblings*

Carl: *looks over toward the ruckus with a quizzical frown, but he remembers Rache from when he was here before*

Swindle: Knowing Rache, she was about to do something... random.

Zoe: *comes out* //Shadowwraithe, do you know what your kids are up to?// *laughing as she stops by her husband and looks at the teeny person in his hand*

Shadowraithe: //No... and something tells me I should.//

Zoe: *sends live video feed. And then shows a shot of little Sunny laughing in Swindle's hand*

Shadowwraithe: //*sigh* I'm comi...// //Who's that??//

Zoe: *softly* //Carl's son.//

Gail: *is now down on one knee talking soothingly to Walrus, who is staring up at her with interest instead of being shy and running away*

Shadowwraithe: //He's here, then?// *can be heard coming*

Zoe: //Yes. He wanted Sunny to meet his family.// *gentle finger touches the baby's arm, and she gets grinned at too*

Rache: *busy pounding on bittyLug's head*

Shadowwraithe: *is there to pick up a Rache*

And kids were tended, and a good visit was had!
