-She searched aaaaall over, messing with one or two things she is curious about along the way until they find the fridge. She silently wishes to herself that she'd find something as she opened the door to it-

It’s full of food! A lot of it is past its expiration date but there ARE a few things that haven’t expired yet.

-She shoved things that were expired into the back before checking out the things that weren't expired-

It’s just eggs and condiments. He has, like, 10 packs of eggs. Why does he have so many.

He grins, his teeth yellow and sharp, and waves. “HI!! I’M SPARKY!!! WHAT’S YOUR NAME?!!! OOOO YOU’RE ORANGE!!! KINDA LIKE FIRE. THAT’S COOL!!!! WANNA BE FRIENDS?!!!!!!”

“THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THAT COLOR!!!! IT’S SOOO COOL!!!!!” He giggles. “DO YOU HAVE FOOD? RAW FOOD WORKS TOO, DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COOKED!!!”

“YOU HAVE A WHOLE FRIDGE?! THAT’S COOL!! HEY, WHAT’S IT LIKE HERE?! I JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED HERE LAST NIGHT!! MY SISTER’S PROBABLY WORRIED RIGHT NOW!! BUT IT’S FIIINE!!”

“HOPEFULLY.” His tail wags a bit. “IS IT CHAOTIC HERE??”

He walks into the room and looks around. “I LIKE CHAOS! IT’S FUN!”

“I LIKE THE THRILL OF DANGER!!” He giggles. “MY SISTER DIDN’T THOUGH. ALWAYS SAID ‘SPARKY, DON’T GO OVER THERE’!!” He huffs. “NO FUN.”

He stares over her shoulder, tilting her head. He recognizes none of this food and it shows on his face.

“MHM! BUT WHAT IS ALL THAT????” He tilts his head.

"Food. You can try whatever. I have caprisuns, milk, and lemonade for drinks."

He tilts his head to the other side. “I ONLY RECOGNIZE ONE THING YOU’VE SAID SO FAR AND THAT’S MILK…”

He hums slightly, tail swishing. “COULD I TRY HAM? PLEASE?”

Oh and it’s gone in less than a minute. Bro was hungry. He’s purring.

“THANK YOU!! ALL THE STUFF AT HOME TASTED LIKE SLOP!!” Blegh. He sticks his tongue out, tail freezing for a second before continuing to wag.

"Maybe you'll like what we have here then, besides the ham, of course. I'm pretty sure if you like that, you'll like other meats."

“OUU… YOU HAVE OTHER MEATS HERE?!!! ONLY THE RICH PEOPLE GOT MEAT BEFORE!!”

"Its a pretty common thing to eat here. Cooked, raw, it's all the same to the people here. Hm... I can probably go see if someone else has any in their rooms."

He’s giving Mari the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.

"Want to come look with me? I can show you around in the meantime."

“SURE!!” He’s jumping up and down, tail wagging. Is this lil guy a dog or a cat??

He skips after her, giggling to himself.

-She hummed, walking down the hallway and checking each door to make sure she doesn't go into certain rooms-

He takes note to go there later. “OKAY!”

-Ever so slowly, she slipped into the room, checking around before waiting to see if Sparky would join her-

He slips in after her, eyes full of curiosity.

-She took a moment to silently observe the place, feeling a tad bit... hurt... seeing him not around. Maybe she'll come back to clean the place up, just a bit. But no matter, she needs to look for meat, so she sets off to do so-

He jumps, a sound startling him. It’s the ouppy, chat. The dog.

-She perked up and immediately started to look around. She could not contain her barely noticeable joy, ooohhh where is that ouppy-

He squeaks, hiding behind her. The ouppy peers out at them.

It squeaks, walking over to Mari and pressing its forehead to hers, sniffing her.

Its tail wags, and it moves to sniff the kid behind her, who recoils at first out of fear. It tilts its head, looking at Mari again.

He hesitantly gives Mari his hand, looking at Pepper.

It sniffs at the hand, before nudging Marigold with its forehead.

He grins, his teeth yellow and sharp, and waves. “HI!! I’M SPARKY!!! WHAT’S YOUR NAME?!!! OOOO YOU’RE ORANGE!!! KINDA LIKE FIRE. THAT’S COOL!!!! WANNA BE FRIENDS?!!!!!!”

“THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THAT COLOR!!!! IT’S SOOO COOL!!!!!” He giggles. “DO YOU HAVE FOOD? RAW FOOD WORKS TOO, DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COOKED!!!”

“YOU HAVE A WHOLE FRIDGE?! THAT’S COOL!! HEY, WHAT’S IT LIKE HERE?! I JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED HERE LAST NIGHT!! MY SISTER’S PROBABLY WORRIED RIGHT NOW!! BUT IT’S FIIINE!!”

"Hey, great to meet you. I'm Phoenix, Juniper's brother. Also- Mate, 8 feet? That's fuckin' insane."

"Yeah, brother. Happened a while ago, not exactly sure when."

"Ooh, really? Oh, I gotta hear this."

"Juniper said it's been a year, right? Surely, that's enough time to know if they're to be trusted, yeah?"

“I don’t know most of the adults here.”

"Fair enough. Still maybe give them a chance, though."

“No. Adults aren’t safe.”

"Not all of them, no. But a lot of them are. And from the looks of things and how comfortable Juniper is here... I'd say these are some of the safe ones. And if I'm wrong, feel free to remind me for the rest of my life."

"You do seem a lot happier here, which is amazing to see. You've always deserved safety, y'know?"

“Phoenix I will cry.”

“Love you too.” He is holding back TEARS.

“Speaking of, what were you doing before you came here?”

“Oh dear- it’s okay, I’m sure it’ll be fine.”

"Juniper, there was no warning. I don't want to just- Leave Hyalos on her own like that! She can very easily take care of both Ochre and herself, I know that, but still! I just hope I can text her from here, and let her know what's going on..."

“…Phoenix you’re gonna hate what I’m about to tell you. I can’t text anyone in the circus or the freakshow from here.”

He just stands there, nubs clasped together over where his mouth would be, just. trying to process what he just heard.

“You might be able to? I’m not sure.”

He is just watching.

Yeah.

How much of its on fire

Uhm. Idk I left the room with Ochre

Alright, thank you

Love you too!!

“Yeah.”

"You good, mate?"

“Yeah, I’m fine!”

"Alright. Just thought I'd check, y'know?"

“Fair enough!!”

"So, is it just you, Inverted, and Gray here, or are Paint and Saturated here, too?"

“We’re all here.”

"Oh, nice. Any idea where they are?"

"To be fair, you also split off a fair bit, so I was just making sure."

“I literally decrease in size every time they decide to split off.”

"...Shush. Good point, but shush."

“Why?”

"Sorry, it was meant to be lighthearted. Should've made that a bit clearer."

“…I know.” Blink blink.

“I’m dense too so.”

"Huh. Dense brothers."

Blink blink.
