Badger exchanged a look with Parrot. "We don't talk about that. Ever." They answered in unison and steadfastly refused to answer further questions. The truth about the mysterious Haunted House Incident.

There it is:  The Haunted House Incident (AO3)

A story about Badger and Parrot  *xD*

Yay, we recently reached the mark of 101 Dalmatians, eh, I mean of course, interested tumblr readers following this blog. ;)

So, to celebrate this, I made a short and silly omake for Badger and Parrot and their trip to the Haunted House. Since I was curious about the recent hype around ChatGPT, I decided to have a small (and very entertaining) writing competition with it.  The prompt:

Write a funny story with lots of dialogue about two men called Parrot and Badger having a funny encounter in a haunted house that includes an electrician in a fur coat and a red neon lamp.

Well, you can read the chatbot’s story here, and you can read my version here:

The Haunted House Incident (AO3)

this is a short info to let you know that I have updated Chapter 9 and added a few subtle details to the last scenes.

It’s really just a very minor edit, but now, it should be a bit clearer why our “good boy” reacted the way he did.

Yours,

Status update

Hello everyone :),

I've left you waiting for a long time and I apologize for that. So, this is a quick update to let you know that I am slowly doing better.

♥❤ Thank you very much for your well-wishes! ❤♥

No worries, I have not forgotten Linewalkers or my other works just yet, and I still have no intention to abandon them. In fact, I have started writing again.

It is kind of slow-going, though, since I am having a difficult time reconnecting with the characters.

In addition to that, I made a few life-changing decisions (like emigrating), so I am afraid I have to ask you to stay patient with me just a bit longer. But I am working on a new Linewalkers chapter for you. ;) As a thank you for staying with me, I’d like to give you something that my story is sorely lacking:

Since we haven’t seen Team Ke in a while:

A short scene of Naruto training with Tobirama while being accidentally watched by Team Ke

“What is he doing?” Badger asked, peering over the shrub he had been hiding behind.

“It looks like some strange dance,” Owl mused, watching in fascination as the young child jumped over something invisible.

“Maybe he’s trying his hand at miming?” Badger offered, sounding rather unconvinced by his own explanation.  

Parrot snorted. “He’s practicing taijutsu, you idiots,” he explained, eliciting a collective “Ah.” from both his teammates.

Lion rolled his eyes at their antics and smiled wryly.

They were Team Ke. One of Konoha’s most feared elite units.

But nobody who saw them like this would ever believe it.

After all, what kind of terrifying ANBU unit would spend their free time secretly hiding behind shrubbery to gush over a kid?

Meanwhile, on a tree on the opposite side of the clearing:

“He looks so adorable,” Hound chirped happily.

Once upon a blue moon a soul managed to escape death’s cold grip and descended back onto the mortal plane.   Tobirama’s  duty might not be as done as he thought - but it’s  pretty hard to change things when you have been reduced to a ghost.   Luckily enough there just happens to be a blond child who seems so similar to his beloved brother.
