It's a house party

Stax and her family were the first to arrive back home.

"Phew, despite the fun, I'm glad to be back home."

Stax said as they approached the home, looking back at her little family. A smile forming as she watched her daughter, now an adult, walk up the steps with her luggage.

"It was a nice break, but I miss my own room! Now I won't have to listen to Daddy's snoring."

"Haha Rox-star, very funny. Who's to say you don't snore either?"

As the two playfully argued, Stax unlocked the door, her face draining of color when she stepped in.

"Oh my god..."

The house was completely dark, full of dust, void of color and the house felt off.

"Oh god! What happened to the bara house?!"

Roxy said nervously, hesitating before she stepped in as she clung to her father jacket.

"Fuckin' hell."

What do you think? ;)

“Ho ho how’s it going everyone? Your favorite holiday aunty is here!” He exclaimed, dragging inside with him a sack of Christmas presents. He wore a red cocktail dress and stockings (fit for the occasion of course) coupled with an overly excited, if not slightly unhinged, smile. “And, I come bearing presents~!”

*Stax jumped as the door was practically kicked in, spinning around as her eyes widened and hand to her heart. She never could get used to burst in’s, no matter how many times it happened.*

*Letting out a sigh when she saw it was thorn, she smiled and let her heart slow.*

“Geez you nearly gave me a heart attack. Either way, glad to see you. You know you didn’t need to bring gifts, right?”

“Don’t be silly, of course I do!” He assured, grinning as he dug around in his bag for gifts, handing out one to Stax and Frank respectively. For Stax he gave a small wicker basket tied shut with a bow. “That’s what aunts are for~!” He stood there eagerly for them to open, clearly excited about his job as self proclaimed aunt.

“A lovely stay-at-home spa set for Ms. Stax! Fitting for such a hardworking, stay-at-home mother I figured. I’ve also been informed by a certain birdy that coconut is a favorite of yours~!”

“And for you, my dear Frank.” He continued, winking at the larger man. “A nice set of quality slippers, black being a handsome color for you I decided. That, and the added bonus of my cell phone number.”

*Stax let out a squeal when she saw the basket, a faint scent of coconut caused her to take in a deep breath.*

Thorn this is amazing! Thank you! I adore coconut! Maybe I might even have a chance to have an evening to myself for a bath.

Aw geez, these are great! I never had such nice sleepers before, real soft.

As for this number, I’ll put it on speed dial. I’ll be sure to remember that when I’m feeling lonely.

“Oh darling, you will be in the best of company, I can assure you that.”

“But moving on! Now for the little ones…” He continued, beaming as rummaged around in his bag for more gifts.

“AJ’s gift won’t be in for another week unfortunately, but I do have plans for your dear Roxy! I um… I thought it would be rather nice to um… A girl’s night out!! I-If she’s into that sort of thing… And also with your permission of course… But I can be fun! Like a fun stand-in aunty!! I’m great with kids, really!!” Explaining away his plans for girl’s night out, Thorn rambled on awkwardly a bit longer before pausing, as if suddenly remembering his reason for being there.

Ooh, a girls night out. Roxanne will adore that, she doesn’t get the chance to go out and be girly that often. And I’m sure Aj will love what ever you have planned for him.

*Stax lifted a brow upon hearing Gaster’s name.*

“….”

“Gone?”

*Stax didn’t even have a chance to reply, lifting a brow at Thorn’s reaction to the news. Crossing her arms, she made a mental note to keep an eye on both him AND Lilth.*
