give him bigger bathtub so mordecai can join too (if he's comfortable about it)

Made another pack for this month! This time its the ship that I've been pining for the last two months, Vikdecai! 🐱🐱

Chased down by rivals after a succesful raid was a common thing in Mordecai Heller and Viktor Vasko's line of work. The problem is when people starts scouting in front of their apartments, and now they can't go home. So tonight, they ran away to a hotel far away to rest until the morning. However, living together in a room with one bed where they are just a touch-length from each other results in some heat coming out, and they need to resolve it, somehow, one way or another.

Gideon Nisi Schlemiel, or the "Anti-Mordecai". (All art by @thisisanerror )

A bookish and reserved man, Gideon doesn't dislike talking to people, but he certainly struggles with it. He's anxious, easily flustered and prone to nervous sweats. But he's a very kind man with an affinity for math and botanicals.

Gideon has a few... Struggles in everyday life, ones his mother tries to assist with, but generally pushes too hard on. He has a high reliance on routine and order. He suffers from texture and taste sensitivities (he hates crunchy things, sour things and spicy things) and prefers baggy clothes due to intense tactile sensitivities, also avoiding uncomfortably tight or clingy fabrics altogether.

Despite Gideon's difficulties, he has a strong advocate in his sister, Esther. A no-nonsense and feisty personality, Esther will mercilessly tease her brother - it is her right, as his little sister, she says - but should anyone else mess with Gideon, heads will roll in short order. Even mother is not safe from her wrath when it comes to protecting Gideon's gentle nature.

With Gideon's differences compared to his canon counterpart, his family life is also quite different. His mother finds Gideon to be too soft; she and Isaac often argue regarding nature versus nurture in regard to his eccentricities, as well as Esther's near indomitable spirit. These arguments never resolve and soon after Mordecai turns eleven, they part ways, with Esther and Gideon ending up with their father in St Louis.

Isaac ends up as bookkeeper for the Little Daisy, getting his children jobs in the cafe when they're old enough. Once the Lackadaisy Speakeasy opens however, Esther is soon drawn into the underground world of bootlegging, torture, murder and everything in between. (Mostly torture - she had a lot of repressed anger about the divorce.)

Gideon is far more content to continue working the books or the cafe with his father until Isaac's health declines too far and he is forced to retire. It's then Gideon learns the true nature of the Little Daisy Cafe - as well as the existence of Lackadaisy in the caves below - and he...

Well, he freaks out a little.

guys he's having a nightmare...

part of the reason that Atlas needs a fleet of spare cars all the time isn't just because his crew are doing crimes in them

it's also because Mordecai and Viktor keep pulling over to make use of the backseat

and since Mordecai wouldn't dare return a car to Atlas in anything less than pristine condition he comes to the conclusion that their only option is to accidentally maliciously destroy the vehicle and pick up a new one

this at first confuses Atlas who's like 'wasn't this car blue when you went out?' but he eventually assumes they're just being extra cautious by never using the same vehicle twice

(Mitzi assumes no such thing but doesn't spill the beans because it's useful leverage to have whenever she wants Viktor or Mordecai to help her with something)
