Every 6 months there was a lottery in the city, everyone would have their name in it, everyone from poor to rich, old to young, it was always a mystery who would win. 

Just like any other lottery the city was quit, no one in the streets, everyone with their families, quietly talking, trying to predict who would win.

Who's life would change forever. 

The TV was turned on in a small little house, consisting of two boys and a girl, a set of siblings, no one counted their father, he was never around anymore, not since mom died. 

Everyone anxiously awaited for the name to be drawn. The usual happened, the mayor spoke, the same rules we stated, everyone knew them, yet they were always said. 

It was time now, for the name to be drawn. 

The screen of the computer showed numbers and letter roating through them quickly, spelling out a name.

Y

A

N 

C 

Y

There were not many Yancy's in the city, it down to a handful of people now.

Here comes the last name.

Becket.

Yancy Becket.

No cheers were heard around the city, it was sighs, sighs of relief. 

Except for one house, one small house.

Yancy Becket the eldest sibilings held his brother and sister tightly.

"Now you listen to me, you two be strong, I'll be okay. Dad will be home. You two take care of each other. Go to school, go to work Raleigh. It will be okay, I promise." 

It wasn't a lottery anyone wanted to win. 

The lottery was for a family, no family of humans, a family of vampires, every six months a  name would be drawn every hour until 6 names were drawn, one for every member of the vampire family. 

Yancy didn't know who he would go to, and frankly he didn't care, he knew it meant his death the moment his name was drawn. 

They had 24 hours with each other before the car would arrive to take Yancy away. 

How do peop-

Um

Oh god

Yes, yes, *noises*

Oh god yes.

Fingers smoothing through Newton's hair and over his spines and curling under the ridge of the kaijin's heavy gold brocade collar. In his other hand, Hannibal held a rich red leash, gold fastenings connected to the glimmering D-ring at Newt's throat. Leaning back in his chair, Hannibal caressed behind Newton's ear as the large cases filled with specimens slid open smoothly before him. 

A self-deprecating man in an outdated suit made his way to Hannibal and murmured something into the big man's ear. Nodding, Hannibal waved a gold-ringed hand, shooing the man away. "Send 'im in," the big man rumbled, glancing down at Newton through shaded glasses. 

Tendo+Mordecai - send me a ship and I’ll tell you who:

shops for groceries

They shop online. Neither of them do very well in the civilian world. Tendo is likely to get triggered by the electronics department and the last time Mordecai saw a toy robot, he ended up having an episode in the middle of the toy aisle. 

kills the spiders

Mordecai. Tendo just won't do it. Nope. Not today. Not ever. Stars aren't aligned. Also, Tendo begs Mordecai not to kill them, just put them out the window or something. He does, sometimes. Other times he just tells Tendo that he did and the spiders end up in the garbage can. Sometimes Mordecai makes up elaborate stories about how the spiders go on to make lovely little families that move back into the house, which is why Tendo should just let him kill them.  

comes home drunk at 3am

Tendo. I don't know about Mordecai's drinking habits, but Tendo has yet to learn that drinking doesn't solve his problems, it makes them worse. 

makes breakfast

Tendo, but it's usually just toasted bagels with large amounts of cream cheese on them. And coffee. Tendo makes really, really, amazing coffee. 

remembers to feed the fish

Tendo brought the fish home one night because a friend couldn't take care of them anymore. Mordecai accepted the fish's presence without comment, and though he knows that Tendo does his best to take care of the stupid creatures, he occasionally picks up the slack if he notices that Tendo has forgotten to clean the tank or take care of them. 

decorates the apartment

TENDO ALWAYS DECORATES THE APARTMENT. 

initiates duets

Tendo is a singer. It just happens. The first few times it happened, Mordecai was either too startled or too embarrassed to join in. Eventually he just resolved himself to the fact that Tendo wasn't going to stop, and he even occasionally joins in. 

falls asleep first

Send "Can't sleep" for a thought that might run through my muse's head about yours at 3 in the morning.

Tendo thinks you're pretty cute. 

Tendo feels like they could be really great drinking buddies, but he's worried about triggering Mordecai, because so much of his life revolved around military things for so long. 

Remorseful, the woman watches with eagle eyes. The scars of a failed project burned within and on the exterior of the fallen soldier with a painful visibility. She couldn't say anything, she didn't want to. 

Sasha liked to think the brunt of the Mark I era was just as painful as hell itself. The rattling of the thought of chemotherapy still shook her bones, yet it still did not compare to the self destruction of the mark 1.5's. Mental and physical, the scars of Mordecai's past made her feel like a child. She wanted to say something, just something to try and give whatever sympathy she could but even then he made her feel like a child.

She didn't want to stare..it felt terribly rude...but Sasha found herself doing exactly that.
