Suddenly posting again with a Red Flags impulse doodle

Extra:

Abijal reunites with the party in the circus because she regrets running away, and everyone accepts her back (except samuel but hey understandable). Dominic gives Abijal a dove, Abijal gives Dominic a drawing, they talk a bit, bond a little, and friendship is wholesome again. Also Abijal does the artist thing where she doesnt look at her awesome artist skills Ever even as Dominic compliments her. Abijal's also a DominicxJecht shipper now.

Meanwhile Samuel has a Vorpal and Deck of Many. This wolf is too powerful. The Gays That Barely Got Together By An Act Of God rode a ferris wheel and held hands. Scandalous.

Everyone goes to watch a circus, when a big robocop, Belvier, shows up, saying the gang is wanted. Everyone tries to sneak out, but Abijal and Dominic get caught. Dominic attempts to reason with robocop, but Abijal brain is only thinking about running away and keeping dominic safe so she distracts Belvier while she pulls dominic away, much to dominic's protests, samuel covering it up with smoke bombs. Despite everyone pretty much willing to destroy the robocop, Dominic is very confident that he would convince a robocop to not capture any of them. Eventually they all agree to try it out, and so Dominic convinces the shit out of Belvier and gets "I told you so" rights.

Everyone is in agreement that they should leave before more trouble comes to find them. Unfortunately for them, trouble found them right outside the circus, comprising of the baron, cult members and Abijal's mom, who's apparently in the Medici clan. Abijal, upon recognising her, tries very hard to pretend not to know her. This fails badly because Abijal's pendant shows and her mother recognises her too. Unfortunately, her mother and Samuel are rival mafias, meaning they have to battle to the death. Abijal gets indecisive because she's a coward and has Very Complex Feelings Towards Her Mother Who Actually Genuinely Cares About Her?? Surreal concept.

Dominic tries to stop Samuel from shooting her mother, but to no avail, and eventually her mother is dead. Abijal, despite all attempts to not care the slightest bit about a mother she never had the chance to know, griefs. Dominic gets mad at Samuel and says the fuck word, before trying to comfort an Abijal that's trying to pick her pieces back together. Meanwhile Samuel has a lapse in memory, apparently some strange thing is happening with his eyes flashing red and blue.

Upon seeing what the cultist were doing with the soul and also to revive Abijal's mother, the party yeet backs into battle. Abijal steals the crystal, Dominic nabs the body, and they a fucking run back. Samuel enquires about why the fuck the party wanted the body of a Medici out and Abijal tells him that that might be her biological mother.

Things get a little tensed up between Samuel and Abijal and the rest try to mediate the very complicated situation of her mother being a medici vs Samuel being a nazarenus vs Abijal being an untrustworthy shithead. Abijal tries to explain that she's not tricking samuel to betray him later and some shit, and at one point she actually apologises? Wow, look how far we've come.

Of course, Samuel had every right to be suspicious of her so he decided there was only 1 way to give abijal the benefit of the doubt -- by further feeding into the found family tro-I MEAN making Abijal join the Nazarenus clan. Abijal accepts easily, and with the help of Samuel her mother no longer legally exists now, and they're friends now? Sorta? Maybe?

As they make their way to Seth's house on a limoboat, Abijal and Eridan find solace in each other being OMGirls Stans, and are pleasantly surprised to find Samuel's the younger brother of the singer, Maria. Meanwhile, Dominic sips Tired And Suffering Juice, and small talks with Seth. Beethany attempts to play music, and I guess it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. Also meanwhile, Samuel asks Abijal about her Edgy Backstory, so she reveals about a friend she used to have in a this-is-actually-really-personal-for-me-but-like-hell-am-I-gonna-not-sound-casual-about-it way.

Apparently she made "friends" with this elf girl (obviously her ex) who was relative of royal family. At one point the friend did an oopsie by the tutor resulting in Pretty Serious Injuries, but because Abijal was also there Nikoal threw her under the bus and her parents took it up cos they never liked her anyway and she was basically told to Fuck Off and Stay Quiet. Obviously Abijal didn't, but no one believed her anyway so it didnt make much of a difference. Samuel commented to tell him immediately if anyone tries to pull something similar with her again

They then discuss ****Super Secretive Stuff**** with Samuel. Oh yeah, also Seth panicks about the whole situation and consults his moirail for support.

So the gang sneaked out of Alli's house to steal a boat or some shit, with Abijal driving in a way no one should probably drive, ever. Looking for clues about the Abyssal Carnage, the team went to, uh, idk some really shady area. Sorry, dk what's it called lol. They started by going to a bar, where Samuel managed to snag some info with an npc in thieves' cant. Meanwhile, Abijal and Beethany went to talk to Dominic about Samuel being in a mafia gang, and Dominic took it pretty well, and wanted to settle the situation peacefully.
