[ Storybooks and quests ] BackDated
Catherine, Aphrodite, Nariko, Garreth , a flurry of stuffed animals and new pets, and Baxterfullous had been gone from the MM HQ for nearly a week away, a vacation perhaps... Catherine felt they needed it, so they could bond. She had spent the week at Salem's home, all the way in the coast of barton. No direct trains led there so.. it was a less than normal ride to and fro to say the least. She prayed she was cleared to have the enchanted door portal added soon, train tickets were becomming expensive.
Catherine already had begun to notice somethign was wrong with Aphrodite the long week they were gone. She wasn't active as she should have been and sometimes she'd sleep longer and longer as the day went by. Another worry fell upon Catherine, could she be sick? If she was sick how could one treat a two and a half inch tall wasp baby?
With all worries set aside, she was still happy to be back at the MM HQ, a place she could confidently call home. Nariko and Garreth also came back with Catherine, not wanting to leave them alone at Salem's home. Making due with the little space at night they all cuddle close on the bed, Aphrodite having either the entire dresser top to herself or sharing a pillow with her sister and mother.
Catherine took a breath of releif as she flicked on the ligt, but a small crunch beneather her feet made her blink. " Huh? " She said as she looked down. She settled Nariko quietly down on the floor by the larger toys, Garreth following suit as she bounded his way towards his favorite ball. Asleep in her hands, Catherine settled Aphrodite on the bed pillow on the dresser.
Making her way back to the door, she bent forward picking up the lone envelope. " .. Whats this? "
" I'd read it if I were you", baxterfullous interjected as he made his way into the room their luggage following his command. "It might have to do with Aphrodite. "
Catherine nodded and opened the letter immeadiate and gasped at Baxterfullous's prediction. " You're right! ... but how would they know... Oh! Nevermind." Catherine slumped her shoulders, is a more than eight foot tall mishap can magical alter the state of exsitence around it.. anything was possibly. Though the idea of someone watching her without her knowing made her spine chill.
Sighing quietly she sat on the trunk that was at the foot of the bed, using her foot to close the door. Looking around the room she wondered what could se do, some of the wording confused her. Maybe Aphrodite needed a pick me up? The fridge was empty, since the long week had passed and she yet had, had the chance to go shopping at the market. Catherine decided it was time to visit the MM kitchen and see what they got.
Garreth was now edging Baxterfullous with a book. "Come on Unca Baxi, can you read to me?" He smiled quietly, his large rump in the air.
Nariko was sitting quietly infront of the television, her frost amulet in her mouth.
Catherine stood up from where she sat and pulled the red wagon out from under her bed. Placing an unused pillow in it, she miled over to NAriko. "Nari-chan..." she said in a sing-song voice. "Do you want to go with Mommy and Aphrodite to the kitchen down stairs?"
"Ooo! Ooo!" She jumped up and down at the thought of spending time with her mother and sister.
Cather picked up Nariko from where she sat placing her inside the wagon. She then moved to lifted Aphrodite from where she slept.
The tiny baby yawned a bit, loking up at her mother, she didn't seem energetic and bubbly as she would normally be when she was woke up from her naps. Infact, her dipostion seemed unhappy.
" Bax, I'm taking Nariko and Aphrodite to the kitchen alright?" She miled a bit, her worries piling up once more.
"Alright... I'll be here with Garreth, I do hear there is a nice movie on tonight." Bax said as he glanced at the TV guide. " I'll call you when it's on."
" ...Thanks." She said with another small smile as she headed out of the room and into the hallway, closign the door behind her with her behind.
" Alright... now let's see which story should we start off with..."

[ Kisses really do make everthing better. ]
Rp chat in Ims
Backdated
Participants: Catherine, Nariko, Aphrodite, Deimos and Jizzy...
Deimos bustled about the kitchen, standing on tiptoes to get at the milk in back of the fridge. Mother needed it for the chcolate chip cookies she was making, and by gds he was going to have them.
Catherine wandered towards the kitchen, Aphrodite in her hands. She wanted to try and find seomthing to help pep up her baby's mood. She didn't have a fever nor a drippy nose... what could she haver come down with. With her opther free hand she was pulling the ever famous wagon that was known as Nariko's carriage.
"FINALLY!" Deimos exclaimed in triump as he grasped the milk, placing it oin the counter near the cookign Jizzy. He did a small jig. He'd got cookies, He'd get cookies.
The familiar sounds of a voice perked her feeble attention. "Day?" she said.
Deimos ears perked up. "Smalls!" He exclaimed, looking about for APhrodite. He was much bigger now, she needed to see.
The tiny babe blinked, a tired smile came to her face. "Day!" She exclaimed with belittled excitement.
" Holy cow!" Catherine blinked as she came to a halt at the side of the much larger Deimos. "You grew!"
Nariko blinked, an exxaggerated expression of awe came to her face. "Woo!"
Deimos opened his cloak to show off its new length and swished his tail nodding. He moved over to Catherin, taking Aphrodite from her ahnds withough asking and sitting down at the table. "How'd ya like it, Smalls? My tatto looks coller now, doesn;t it?" He asked the babe.
Jizzy peered over her shoulder from the bowl she was stirring. 'Hello Catherine!" She exclaimed, a smile on her face as usual.
Catherine tried to return the same happiness but it faltered. Her gaze turned to Aphrodite, he expression was worry.
"Sissssisss Aff" Nariko burbled and then tried to climb out of the wagon.
She ooed, her eyes wide, but she didn't really want to move.
Deimos eyebrow wings furrowed. "What's wrong, Smalls? You tired?" He said, rushing a finger though her hair. He glanced at Nariko, but didn't aknowledge her yet.
Jizzy smile didn;t falter. "I'm making chcocolate chip cookies. Care to stay and have some?" SHe asked, going back to making the batter.
Catherine smiled at jizzy, her spirits lifting a bit. "Yes. I'd like to stay." Turning to the now taller Diemos she expressed her cocern aloud. "..Well. I don't know what's wrong with her... I think she might be sick. But she doesn't have a fever.. and her nose isn't drippy."
She closed her eyes as Diemos brushed her hair lighlty. "hmm.."
"Maybe she's got the blues?" Jizzy said with a small shrug. "Have yoiu tried giving her that remedy you gave me?" She began to dollop the batter ontoa tray. "Or maybe she just needs to have her booboo's be kissed and made better." SHe joked with Deimos, knowing he much to young to be interested in girls.
Deimos frowned and lifted Di up to his eyes, looking her all over. Kissed and made better, eh? WOuld that really work, bring her close he kissed her, swiftly, on her her tiny nose. WOudl this get DI to feel better?
It sure as hell surprised her! As soon as he came down and kissed her tiny nose, she clung to his face. "Woo!"
Catherine blinked, a bit of a sigh of releif, it was a reaction!
Nariko had finally freed herself of the wagon and had crawled across the kitchen tile, plopped right behind Deimos, poking at his tail curiously.
Jizzy chuckled. "I didn;t expcet him to take it seriously." SHe laughed, palcing the tray into the oven, setting the timer and taking a seat by Catherine.
Deimos smirked as she did so. 'See, Smalls better now.." He bristled though as Nariko touched his tail and his eyes narrowed isntictively, turnign to face her. "don't.. touch.. my tail." he hissed in a dangerous tone.
She gasped, falling backwards, her bottom lip quivering. And then pointed at his face. "Aff!" She directed her fear not for Deimos but for her tiny older sister that was attached to Deimos's face.
Catherine, blinked, taking a seat on the stool. "Heh.. Nariko.. Deimos doesn't like it when people touch his tail."
"Aff!" she once agained pointed, expressing her concern.
Aphrodite held on for dear life to his face. Burying her little face into his cheek
Deimos brough his hand up to support Aphrodite in case she fell. "I wn't let Smalls fall. WHo are you supposed to be?" He asked, his tone still rather agravated.
Jizzy sighed. "No he doesn't.. Its his pet peeve of sorts."
Nariko blinked at him. processing the question as she madeherslef sit back up. "Siissssiiiiissss" She strained, pointing to herself. As though to say she was Aphrdite's sister.
"that's Nariko... you guys met before remember? " Though it was breif, it was true. " She's Aphrodite's younger sister. .. Garreth's in the room with Baxterfullous."
Aphrodite let her tiny rump sit snugly in Deimos's palm.. she felt so much.. better with him for some reason. Nuzzling a bit. "Day.." She said finally. "Nah kay"
Deimos lookied over at Nariko. SIster eh.. She nodded in greeting. "K's then.." Besfore he turned back to Aphrodite. "What's wrong with you, Smalls?" He asked with a sigh. He wnated her to be better.
Jizzy nodded. 'Deimos isn;t the best with names.." She said with a tiny shrug.
" It's a cute nickname." She smiled. It seems Deimos's presense was making Aphrodite better. " I hope Aphrodite's ok.. with.. having siblings." Another concern she wanted to adress. "She tok the meeting ok... at least from what I noticed... I don't want her to think I don't love her anymore.... thant's not true." She frowned, a small tear streamed down her cheek. "I just don't want to make mistakes like my mother.. and grandmother did."
Nariko raspberried Deimos as soon as his back was turned. "Baaah!" She wanted to help!
I'm sure they both know you love them the same." Jizzy said with a smile. "My parents favored my sister as well, but we learn to do better, now don't we." SHe said.
Deimos rolled his eyes and let APhrodite down on the table for a moment. He bent down, picked up Nariko and placed her on the table before replacing Aphrodite in his hand, stroking her hair with his thumb. "There, now will you stop whining.." He said to Nariko.
"Pah! " She nodde.d "Siisssisss siiih chooo waaaaazzzzzzaabuu" Oh was speech a pain.
Catherine nodded a bit, but couldn't help but laugh at Nariko a bit. "Yes, we learn from out parent's mistakes."
Aphrodite blinked as well, watching her sister, looking at her like she was crazy. "Loonie tooonie" She pointed.
Jizzy nodded. "Deimos may be getting a sibling soon.." SHe whispered. "But I don't know how he'll react.."
Deimos chuckled. Nariko did seema bit the insane type. "Yes. She is a bit odd isn't she, Smalls?"
A tiny gigle left her lips as she looked at her larger and yet younger sister.
"Ploooooooooooooo" she bubrbled and then made a face, it seemed there was a method to her madness. She was trying to cheer Aphrodite up.
" I think he'll be ok... Tal's a bit submissive though, so I think you should be careful." she warned.
She nodded. Though she didn't know what Tal looked like, she had gotten a letter from Salem's home. "I will."
Deimos smiled a fanged smile as she giigled. "See, Smalls is all better now, right?"
Nariko extended her hands out as though she wanted to hold Aphrodite.
She looked up at Deimos and then at Nariko. She did feel a little better, but there wasn't something wrong. She could feel it.
Catherine grinned. "And you'll be getting a brand new apartment to go along with what you have here... It's big and comes with three more rooms. "
Jizzy's eyes almsot bulged from her head. 'Three roms? Whats the rent on that place?" SHe felt sweat form on her temple. SHe cou;dn't afford a three room place.
Deimos looked at Narikoa nd sighed, exttending his hands out to her. "Smalls's sister. Here.." She said, putting Aphroditwe down reluctantly.
"It's free, no rent at all. Salem's really generous. heh." She smiled a bit.
Nariko Carefully took, as though she was holding glass. Cradling her like her mother cradled her. "Sississ.. Sisissis wuv Affie." She strained, but the statement was clear as day. She brought Aphrodite up to her face and nuzzled gently. "Wuv wuv wuv." Now doing what Deimos had done, kissing her on her tiny cheek, he was able to make her feel a little better, why could she try as well?
Aphrodite blinked up at Nariko, a soft genuine smile on her face as a the sloppy kiss reached her cheek. Was this what was missing, she couldn't understand but it felt like she had been reunited with someone so dear to her heart. "Nari!" She squeeked hugging her face. She then turned to Deimos happily. "Day!"
Jizzy's jaw dropped. 'F..Free??" SHe muttered. Gods this was.. this was great!!
Deimos smirked, then smiled. "Smalls is better already. Small's sis is good at healing.."
Nariko smiled up at Deimos, by far she was the calmer third of the bunch of siblings. Even though she was an infant an air of wisdom surrounded her, maybe it was because even though she was younger, she acted like the elder of the three siblings.
She did feel safer between being around her mother, Deimos, and Nariko. She then wondered where her youngest and largest sibling was. Through her minor depression she hadn't noticed where he had gone.
A smiled appaeared on her face, it was of releif. "Yes.. heh." She let out another breath of relief.
The large green baby dragon peeked into the kitchen. "Mama!" he sniffed around and waved to Jizzy and then Deimos. "Mama, Baxie says your toonies are on.. Ooohooo! Affie you ok!" He smiled contently at his elder sister's appearance.
Catherine blinked and nodded. "Thanks Gary, I think we should be going. I'll come by and see how those cookies are. I know we're going to love them. " She smiled, lifting up Nariko from the counter holding both babies in her arms. Following Garreth back to the room... and by itself it seems the wagon followed suit.

[ Problems bring about solutions ] Backdated
All the blinds in the room were shut and the only light that shed through the room was that of the television screen before three infants. The sleek black cat named Baxterfullous was napping quietly on the bed, beside him was Catherine watching the cartoon caper from the bed. A smile on her face as she watched the cartoon rabbit race across the screen with a very angry detective inside a very sarcastic cartoon cab.
"PULL THE LEE-VAR!"
"Which one? Which one?"
' This one stupid. '
" I'm gonna ram'em!"
An eruptions of laughs came from the trio as soon as the black van and two motorcycle cops crashed while the rabbit, the detective and the cab narrowly escaped. Catherine wearily looked at Aphrodite, she seemed happier, but something was off.
" Hey Roger, what do you call a middle of a song?"
"Gee.. I dunno... A BRIIIIIIIGDE!!!"
Another eruptions of laughter came, Catherine watched as the tiny baby yawned... Then it hit her. Finding the letter for the quest off the floor she went to the bathroom to shed some light on the letter, more so not to disturb the babies watching the movie.
The few keywords that confused her started to make some sense, Catherine brought the palm of her hand to her forehead harshly. "Stupid stupid stupid! How could I've been so stupid?" She continued to slap her forehead. " I've been looking for human answers to human problems! "
Making her way back into the room, turning off the light to the bathroom. She began to set up her Laptop and turned off the volume as it connected to the internet. Typing she went to a well known source of information... AskJeeves.com. She knew the internet would be a good source of information, mainly because well she didn't have a books on wasps, or know anything about wasps in general except that their stings hurt. once the answer was found how ever... She felt even stupider than before. Slapping her forehead once again she scrambled towards the fridge. Seeing nothing but an empty baby bottle and some formula she quickly closed the door behined her. diving towards her trunk at the foot of her bed, she rummaged to see if she had any flower or fruit nectar.
" None! " She failed, and sat on the floor.
The trio stared at their mother wide eyed, wondering what she was doing. Baxterfullous, had a single eye open, his curiousity intrigued. Catherine decided to no explain her actions, but to instead call a friend for help. Pickking up lemon and turnign him on, she went out of the room and into the hallway, keep the door but a crack open. " Lemon call Duke." She said quietly, kneeling before the cat bot.
" Certainly! " He squeeked and low ringing emitted from his speakers.
" Hey hey hey... "
" Duke! I need a favor.."
" ...I'm not here right now, I'm busy doing stuff. What stuff? None of your damn buisness. If you want to talk, leave a message and I'll eventually get back to you if I like you. *BEEP* "
Catherine gulped. Duke's not in a good mood, she thought. Might as well try.... "Duke I need a favor, Aphrodite's not feeling too hot and she needs a pick me up, I did some research and I think she needs nectar.. perferablly flower but I think fruit might do... Can you get me a bottle? If you can great.. if you can't.. well I'll see what I can do. If you can get a hold of Salem I think he knows where you can get some... Thanks. "
A tiny click was heard after a small puase when she finished her message. Lemon danced a bit trying to cheer Catherine up, sighing when it wasn't working and waddled back into the room.
Catherine took a seat outside the room, sitting by the door in the hallway on the third floor. She needed a bit of time to think, and decided to let the children finish watching the movie... after that? She decided that everyone needed a breath of fresh air.
< Duke was used with prermission.>

[ Secet Santas, Pah-cah-gehs, and a rekindled friendship. ] Backdated
It had been a nice winter's day, Aphrodite was sitting quietly on the large bed that now belong to her. Watching the televison before her she pushed herself up to her feet and toddled to the edge of the bed, peering around and over. She felt as though she had been forgetting someone... then it hit her. "Al?" She looked up at the ceiling. "Al.. where be you?"
Pouting, she bit her bottom lip looking around. "Allllllllllllllll" She cried flying around her room, her freind was no where in sight. The last she remembered her friend was on her bed.. right next to Ed. "AL!!!" She dropped onto her bed, crying. "Mamaaa.. Maaama.." Pressing her hands to her face, covering her tears. "Mamaa... Al.. Al is missing.."
Bursting through the room came Catherine. "What's wrong baby?" She looked frantic, kneeling down next to the bed. "Baby.. what's wrong?"
"Al.." She cried. "I.. I can't find AAL!!" She flailed and cried, burying her face into the blankets of the bed.
Catherine blinked, cringing...Where did Al go anyway? It had been nearly a week since she played with him, and hadn't really asked for him... but then she realized that entire week had been accupied by lots of playmates. So it was understandable by the loss of memory. Diving under the bed she found the hiding plushie, dusting him off and placing him on his rightful place on the bed. "There baby, there I found him."
Drying her eyes, she crawled over towards the large doll. "Al...?" She petted the doll, she felt confused. "Mama Al feel funny. Where is Al he no in the doll." Touching the Edward next to him she gasped, more tears comming down her tiny cheeks. "Mama! Ed gone too! Is he mad I didn't play with Al?"
Confused, Catherine looked to her tiny daughter. "What do you mean...?"
"They no here.. did they run away because I no play with them...?" Tears formed in her tiny eyes. "Mama where Al? Where Ed? They mah bes' fends."
Catherine was about to answer, but then she heard a voice comming from the apartment.
"Mama, there's a box for Aphrodite!" It was Garreth.
Blinking she got up looking over at the box that was clearly marked for the tiniest mishap, on top of the one of the packages was a far smaller Alphonse plushie along with his blonde brother Edward, both about the exact size of Aphrodite. Picking up the small boxes, she made her way into the room. "Huney.. I think I found Al and Ed." She said gently placing the boxes on Aphrodite's bed.
"Huh?" Looking up from where she sat, wiping her eyes she stay put on the bed. "Pah-cag-gehs? For me?" She squeeked, pushing herself up from the bed and toddling over towards the boxes.
Catherine opened the first. "It's a Secret Santa!" Unearthering the green egg from the box, the tag hung loosely from the antenna.
"Wazzat? .. ooo... It's Prince!" She squeeled, buzzing up to hug the egg.
"A secret Santa is a gift given in secret... apparently from what the card says, who ever gave you these their names won't be told until a week of Yule... "Catherine placed the egg down on the bed, opening another box, this time it had.. something squishy. Making a face she stared at the wiggling gift box. " ... It's jello."
Moving away from the egg, a good majority of the explanation her mother told her flew over her little head. She pushed the wiggling jello like package back and forth, giggling quietly at the sound.
Behind her mother came Garreth peaking over his mother's shoulder. "Is it a treat?"
"No, it's a present.. it's supposed to open the week of yule."
Garreth blinked, the idea of that opening was beyond marvelous. "O.. are we gonna decorate for kiss-mas mama?"
" How do you know about christmas?"
" Salem read me a book about it. It's was made into a anational holiday because of this nice old man who used to give presents to nice kids in europe."
Catherine blinked. "What else do you know?"
"Lots of stuff." He cooed, nuzzling into his mother's belly. "Some-people dun think he exsisted, but Salem said he did. He was a saint because of all the good stuff he did. Uncle Duke told me that." He smiled looking at Aphrodite, his expression turned for worry. "You ok liddle big sissie, I heard you were crying and I got scared."
" I.. I fine.. I.. Lost Ed and Al." She sniffled slumping back down on the bed.
"That's not entirely true." Catherine said quietly a small smile on her face, untying the two dolls that were ontop of the last unopened box.
Aphrodite blinked, gasping at the two dolls now in her mother's hands. "That's where you were!" She flew into the dolls, hugging them. "Oo! You my size now! I miss you!" She kissed them both. "Miss you!"
Smiling, Catherine opened the final box to find the the most oddest gift, a small necklace just for Aphrodite. "It's from Duke.. he said it will protect you...and it will give you good luck." She smiled, attaching the tiny pentagram around the tiny toddler's neck. "There."
Aphrodite giggled, her magick feeling fluttering like butterflies. "I like! I hav eto make Duke a pressie!" She grinned. "I thank Duke, he gave me back my bes' fend!"

[ The aftermath of sleeping powder sucks ] Backdated
The events of this event can be explained hereAphrodite and Al were the first awake, before falling back asleep Aphrodite promised to keep Al's newfound movement a secret. Sitting quietly in her spot on the round dining room table that was near the kitchenette, Aphrodite watched as her family droned out of bed.
Happily drinking her bit of juice out of a thimble she watched her mother wearily make cereal for everyone. She look dead tired, as well did everyone else. Catherine was the first to protest.
" Whol l' ssinssrigg d' shu...Ussta karliik." She said rather bitterly, rubbing her forehead as she stirred her coffee.
Aphrodite blinked. "Mama! Mama! I wanna-"
"Not now.. sweetie.." Catherine interjected before Aphrodite could finish her sentance, the dull puonding in her forehead ache to no end. " ...Mama doesn't feel very good." She looked odd without her glasses, Catherine extended her hand across the table to keep Nariko's head from going face first into her cold cereal.
Garreth chewed idly at his morning steak, licking it. "Mama. My head hurts." The toddler said quietly, almost in a soft sob.
" You too baby.. aww... I'll try to figure out something to make the headache go away soon ok?" Catherine sighed letting her other free hand to nuzzle Garreth's head.
He sniffled, he didn't like this feeling. It hurt too much, he rubbed his head with his now larger hands. "Ok mama."
Aphrodite blinked, chewing quietly on a piece of toast she stole from her mother's plate, she felt very guilty. Not for the toast stealing, but for the events that occured last night. This was all her fault and she knew it, or at least that's how she felt... "Mama. I'm sorry." She said almost instintively as soon as that guilty feeling reared it's ugly head.
Catherine blinked looking at aphrodite, confused. "What's wrong Dite?"
"Mama it's my fault. It's cuz of me you all feel bad." She toddled her way quickly to Al, hugging him. "Al told me not to tell, but I gotta mama."
Catherine blinked, still very much confused. "What are you talking about sweetie?"
"There's a nice lady in my head."
"... What?" Catherine let go of Nariko's head in shock, the toddler immeadiately landed face first into her cearel.
Nariko awoke, from the burbles, gasping a bit. She then bagan licking the milk from her lips. "Mama my head wants to splode."
"Aphrodite... what did you say?" Catherine said, almost hesitant for the answer... A nice lady was in her head?
The tiny tot stood up from where she sat, holding Al tightly. She wiggled back and forth. "I said that a nice lady is in my head. She said she's a lady who war-shipped another nice lady who I was named after."
Catherine blinked a few times, remembering Aphrodite's creation story she read so many months ago... Anastay? That woman that became the magical mishap we now know as Aphrodite? "...Is her name Anastay?"
"Yeah!" Aphrodite squeeked with happiness, her mother wasn't mad at her, but she frowned immeadiatly at her reaction.
Catherine slumped a bit, this wasn't the time to be upset. Maybe... she could talk to Salem about this...

[ Christmas time is here! ] BackdatedIt was early in the morning, a restless feeling enveloped our tiny toddler. Awoke from a dreamless sleep excitement etched her, something odd was happening... something spectacular but she couldn't put her finger on it. Looking Al who was sleeping silently next to her she pokwed him relentlessly until he was awake.
"Al, wake wake Al!" She rubbed her eyes yawning. " Some-thin's 'appenin'---day" She yawned again, breaking up her sentance.
Al wiggled awake. "Hmm?" He looked to her as she yawned. " Oh! Dite it's Christmas!" He clapped his plushie hands together.
"Kiss-maaasss!" She squeeled , picking up Al and flying through her open bedroom door. She gasped letting a squeel as she saw the mountain of presents beneath the fake glittering pine. "MAAMAA! MAAAMAA! SANTA CAME!"
Nariko was the first to scamper out of her room. She screamed with utter delight. "MAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAA!!!"
Garreth crawled out his room. "N.. Nari..ko.. it's early."
Catherine yawned comming out of her room. "Hmm?"
Nariko jumped up and down. "Mama! It's Kissmass! Kissmass!"
"Yeah! Santa came Mama!" Aprhodite giggled flying around the wrapped gifts, trying to spot her name among the masses.
Catherine smiled. "How about this... let's eat christmas breakfast and then we can open the gifts?"
Baxterfullous yawned a bit jumping onto the kitchen counter. "Sounds wonderful." Merry Christmas to Everyone At Salem's Home for Magical Creatures from to the deepest Depths of Our Hearts!

[ Rock in the new year! ] BackdatedIt was almost midnight, the children sat infront of the television watching as a man animatedly talked about all the things that had happen in the past year. The sleek black cat watched, nodding a few times at a few mentions of notablly worth wizards... Would you have guess this wasn't 'New Years Rockin' Eve'? Heh.
"How much time til' they count down Bax?" Garreth asked, jumping a bit a little hat covered with glitter on his head.
"In a minute, Merlin's about to speak."
' It has come to my attention that we shall all pass into the two thousand and sixth year of this world...' The old wizard smiled, adjusting the tall point hat on his head. ' .. And to some that is a reminder of age and notability for lasting so long.. haha. I know many trials, hardships, and tragedies have befallen many of you.. with the new movements of banality.. hunts... and all those horribles things... but despite all these... monstrosities we can still reflect on what is important. Family. Love. Friendships... and even new friendships... new family members... new ones to give your love to. Children are the foundation of the future ahead of us. Without them we cannot see what our clouded future awaits for our community...'
"Uncle Bax he talks alot." Nariko said stiffly, holding a party favor in her hand.
' ...As the two thousand and sixth year approaches we must all keep our loved ones near...'
" When's the new year gonna come?" Aphrodite asked quietly.
"Hopefully after the dearly senile Merlin finishes his speech." Bax chuckled lighlty.
"I'm sleepy." Garreth yawned.
"It will come.. dont' worry." A knowing smile gleamed in his eyes.
'And now! We shall count down to the new year!'
The children cheered, the long winded speech was over!
10!
The anticipation was eating at them. The children called out a few moments after the television did.
9!
Aprhodite held tightly to Al. " This is gonna be good!"
8!
7!
6!
5!
4!
3!
" I wonder what Mama's doing?" Garreth asked, readying his party favor.
2!
" At a party, jus' ly she said she was gonna."
1!
"Happy New Year!" Baxterfullous said rather happily, as the children blew their party favours. The television illuminated with fireworks as the family hugged each other. " Now it's time for bed."
The children protested and then yawned, seeing that there was no point to argue they went to their rooms and feel to a peaceful sleep filled with adventure and the occasional fire breathing dinosaur.
Happy New Year to Everyone at Salem's Home!

[ Illogical Dillemmas ] Backdated"Catherine.. can I.. ask you a favour?" The Cat was hesitant to speak, sitting on the counter overseeing a cauldron.
Aphrodite blinked watching from where she sat, dressed in only an undershirt and little pink panties. Dipping her hands into the paint that was neatly inside a thimble. The dining room table was cleared of the vase and normal things that were typically there, but instead covered with newsprint and white pieces of paper.
Catherine blinked looking up from the spell book she was looking over, uncorking a bottle that held dried herbs. "... Um, of - of course."
The tiny toddler hummed quietly, finger painting on the paper. She swayed back and forth as though trying to dance while sitting. " La.. La.. dee.. dah... la la.. Mama can I be a singer when I'm big?" She mused while she painted, her a famous singer! How wonderful.
Catherine smiled. "...Yes, you can do what ever you like as long as it's not dangerous." She reread the line in the spell book and then poured the correct amount of herbs into the cauldron.
" ... Can you help me break the curse?"
Catherine blinekd a few times, looking at him. Putting the glass bottle down, she smiled a bit. "I'd be honored... but why do you want to do it now?"
" ... It's..." He was unable to formed a reason why, there was something... but it didn't dare rear it's ugly head. "... illogical.. I know." Yes, that was the word. "Selfish even, but I have... hope. I was thinking.. since.. it's been so long.. maybe it weakened."
Catherine just smiled. " I think you're right."
Aphrodite blinked as she stood, now dipping her feet into the thimble. She flew out of the thimble and back down onto the paper, running back and forth across the white paper.
Hope glimmered in his cobalt blue eyes. "Thank you, you are in my debt."
" No, I want to help you as my thanks. For being there for me hen I was child.. protecting me from mother... and father." She smiled as she added seasalt to the mixture.
Nariko blinked, eye level tot he table she watched the unsupervised Aphrodite as she was now covered in washable blue paint. "Oo.. Mama! Aph's been naughty." She grinned.
"...Huh?" Catherine blinked as she added the final ingreidiant she needed at the time, turning to veiw her... smurf? she let out an exasperated sigh. "You mess, I love you so much!" She laughed picking up the paint thimbles and cleaning up the table. She hung the tiny paintings up so they could dry, throwing away the newspaper, and set a bowl to fill with water. After it filled halfway she sat her little blue toddler into the water, letting her soak for a while. "Now stay until the paint starts to get off."
"Kay Mama." She giggled and splashed. Swimming a bit in the 2 inch high water. "Hehe."
"Thank you.. again."
Catherine smiled warmly watching sphrodite bathe. "It's no problem."

[ Change is always inevitable. ] It was late in the night, closing to midnight. The room was dimly lit by the glow of candle light, a large pentagram was painted on the hard wood flooring. In the middle of it all was a large couldron with a bubbling deep navy blue mixture. Standing in the pentagram was Catherine, dressed in a white robes, her short hair adorned with beads as she stirred the cauldron that was heated purely by magic. Next her was Baxterfullous, who was collarless.
Taking a deep breath Catherine began to humm a sweet tune, as she stirred, pulling out the large spoon and placing it on the floor inside the pentagram. She lifted up Baxterfullous holding him over the caldron. "I hope this works.." She breathed.
"By what was once true.. and now is lost... I call upon you ancients! I ask thee a boon. Many a night I have prayed, many a day I have done things you have asked.. now I only asked of this.. Please grant us what we seek. Give us the power to reverse the fate of this man!"
Catherine looked ot Baxterfullous. "Are you sure..?"
Baxterfullous nodded quietly. "Yes... lower me, I'm ready... and willing to give up everything."
Catherine took another deep breath, lowering Baxterfullous into the caldron. As soon as he was submerged and explosion of light filled the room knocking Catherine off her feet.
The light faded... and the smoke cleared. Catherine gasped as the caldron had fallen over. "Baxterfullous!" She cried fear filling her eyes, as she rushed over as to see what had happen.
In the place of the cat, was now a 6 foot tall very pale... and very naked catfolk. His hair was a deep ebony as was cat like ears and tail. He coughed, his hands gripped around his neck as a new collar was there. A black band with a blue gemstone. His cobalt blue eyes stared up at her, he looked frightened. "Ca-Catherine... did it work?" He coughed a bit, taking in a deep breath.
Catherine grinned covering him with a blanket, she cried happy tears. "Yes! You're.. You're back to normal."
"I.. am?" A smile formed on his thin pale face."...I'm so happy, so.. very happy..." He cried, burying his face into her lap.
< Hurray for Bax! >

[ Quests are a pain in the butt. xD ] It had been already a few days since Baxterfullous's transformation, and to be frank the children took a bit of time to adjust. They knew it was their beloved Uncle, but it was just.. so weird. He looked more like Salem except paler and black, ok he was always black now he just had less black on him. Much to their dislike he didn't go back and forth between his now many forms, and his time was kept by his 'work' and 'preparing'.... no time for playing... no time for stories.
So, the children decided to occupy themselves elsewise.. playing pretend was a favorite or playing video games. Dance Dance Revolution was a game Nariko and Aphrodite liked best, Garreth liked it better as a spectator sport.
One day at the breakfast while Catherine was serving everyone their meals, a pain overcame Aphrodite. She blushed a furious shade of pink as she turned to her mother as she was setting down a small plate that had a few cheerios, a Aphrodite sized bowl filled with milk, and a tiny cup filled with nectar on it. "Mama! Mama! My butt hurts." She wiggled, rubbing a part of her wasp bottom she could reach.
Catherine blinked. "... Your butt?" She said almost a bit confused.
"Yeah! Right here." She pointed, Nariko giggled.
" Hehe, she said butt."
"Hmm... Maybe you're stingers are comming in..." She said finally after small time of thinking. " I don't know anything can do to help.. Do you Bax?"
" I'm not knowledable in healing, you are." He said as he foleded over the Daily Prophet and sipped his tea quietly.
" Then that's settled, how about after breakfast I'll take you to see Miss Maggie so we can see what to do about the pain." She smiled a bit, trying to cheer up the little wasp mishap.
" Okies mama.." Aphrodite decided to stand as she sipped her nectar, though it upsetted her that her mother wasn't going to make it better now... and that she wasn't drinking out of the bottle anymore. Grasping her hands around the cup she sipped a bit, the nectar filling her with energy like it always did. Stingers? What an odd name, she wondered as she took a cherrio and dipped it into the milk. She guessed she'd find out sooner or later...
< this was continued elsewhere>
