DaemonGabrielle Pel started crying. There was no escape. Never. He stared at Alma. Then Pip and Trouble. The pipeless sink. And he wailed like a banshee. "How could they not have pipes?! Now it will never eeeeennnnddddd. Even my little hut has piiiiiiiiiiipes. Granted, I laid them down myself and I figured out the plumbing, but at least I had piiiiiiiiiipes! Now all I'll do is wooooooork!!!" Trouble's pout quickly turned to panic as Pel finally had his moment of breakdown. They were gonna make them leave cause her lil brother couldn't handle a lil work. Rushing to Pelagious, she patted him on the shoulder.
"There, there. I'm sure if you asked, they could provide some pipes? It's not a party, but it's.....a step in the right direction?! Who doesn't want a house with indoor plumbing?" She offered, turning to Alma.
"Maybe we could get Daddy some pipes? He can make things go." She gave Alma the childish pout, but it was mixed with childish victory. She hadn't planned this, but it will work.

Pel's screaming startled Alma right off the floor as she jerked back. What on earth was that!? Some of what he said started to make sense but it was just far out of nowhere. He was a fantastic helper, so what had him so upset? Pipes again? Well the idea was intriguing and she certainly didn't know how to make plumbing.
Flittering over to Pel she two patted him on the back, "There there, I'll get you some bamboo, would that work?" Sometimes little gifts for good behavior could distract a tantrum so she tired, "You've worked extra hard, would alpaca fiber and cotton make you feel better? You've earned several treats." Distractions of something constructive seemed to work for her in the past, maybe that would motivate him?
Pip decided to take a slightly different approach to her sister. With a wink to communicate a plan was afoot, she walked around Pel and threw her arms around his neck crying with him as if his crying had upset her enough to bring her to tears. Resist a crying child, go a head and try.

"Bamboo?"
Pel's crying slowed at the offer of pipes. He almost felt bad. Almost. If only she hadn't been a slave driver. But he could work with bamboo. It did have water retention capabilities. And could hold up to his powers. He wasn't gonna think about how many things he tried to find that out. He pondered this for a moment. The suddenly....
There was a tiny terror tot holding him and wailing in his ears. Oh dear. He had upset her. Oh well, he could use the help. Any help. Even his evil little brat's twin.
He held onto Pip's tiny body and cried into her hair. "I know!!! It's all work around here. There, there." He patted her back. He couldn't resist a child a in need but he was his own child in his own needs.
He may have muttered some unintelligible cursing, but he was trying to comfort her. Until Alma mentioned something that caught his interest.
He stopped crying with a small sniffle, and looked at Alma, the light fully returned to his eyes. It was a miracle, his changing of moods. Though he did still pat the crying #2 devil.
"Did you say....Fibers? From those tall, fluffy cloud makers?! Wait. That is what an Alpaca is, yes?" He asked, his voice still a little high pitched and hiccupy from the wails. Not really waiting for an answer, he shrieked "OH ALMA!!!! I think I love you!! Not as much as the Blue Jewel of My Sweet And Sordid Heart, but it's darn close!!" He pounced at Alma, attempting to hug the dickens out of her. Trouble beamed at her brother's shift in mood. Leave it to clothing material to change his mind about things. She thanked Alma profusely with a hug to her shins, even going so far as to call her her Floaty Mom, and nudged her sister to let her know that the game was over. They had won. Then she pointed her sister off toward her room to mess with a sleeping tikiKat. There was work to do. Pel's sudden change of being came with a renewed energy to work. Well, it was new to him, anyway. Giving the room a once over and already drawing up blueprints in his head, he asked "So. I give indoor plumbing, you give materials? You should have told me you had fibers!! I would have...er... Worked much harder." he said, with a sheepish grin and a scrub to his white hair. His chastising was meant in a friendly way as could be seen from his huge smile. "Where is this Bamboo?"

As soon as Blue Daddy stopped crying, now distracted by her mother, Pip shut off the waterworks like a switch. Wise timing had her letting go before he started hugging her Mom. Probably a good thing her other daddy was still sleeping. Nudging her sister in return, sharing a little grin and a nod, Pip started back off to the room. Even with the time they spent apart, the sisters still had it! Everything was working much better with out himthere to muck up their great planning.
Whirlwind of activity and rapidly changing moods caused even her to be still. They were crying, then both stopped crying. Then she was being hugged. Hug was a hug, she returned it just a fiercely, "Yes, Alpaca! As much as you want. And thank you?" What was he talking about, blue jewel of his heart? That one seemed to pitch out of left field. She received an especially sweet hug from her other daughter, one hand patting the girl on the head.
Nodding again she told him, "I didn't know that was a task you would enjoy. I'll be happy to get you the materials. Trouble needs an alpaca doll of her own too, now that I think about it. Lets go to bed, we'll get at it first light!" Turning just enough to see the girls walking back to their room. "Girls, go back to sleep, good night my loves!" Of course they would, right back to bed while she returned to her own. Almost to the door to her room she paused to make sure her guest didn't need anything more that night.

~A Few Weeks Later~ A loud slurp resounded across the feilds as Pel poured and materialized out of the drain/waste pipe that he had rigged to go off the property and down into the woods. He hooted and hollered before another loud slurp echoed across the fields as he went back into the pipes and appeared in the house.
He was done! He had finally finished!! Not only had he set up the afore mentioned pipe, but also a pipe system that ran from the stream to the house. A few pumps on the handpump he had rigged up with bamboo and some reeds he had found and he had fresh water pouring into the basin.
Another hoop of joy and a little dance escaped his happy arse. He ran to a widow and all but hung out of it as he shouted "AAAAAAALLLLLMMMMMAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Evilsilverdragon I don't know what the sisters would be doing

Summon the storm and in comes the clouds. No sooner had Pel started on the last syllable of her name, the whirl of rock dust and energy blew in on the western front. Barely skidded to a stop, the formerly red headed woman clamped her hands together and bounced with excitement. "Yes?!" Was he done? Did he make the pipes work?
Whenever possible she watched him, usually between bouts of running off to do everything and anything that caught her fancy. This was a type of construction she was unfamiliar with so every part of it fascinated to no end.
Whatever he had to say, he had a captive audience. Pip was quite, so very quite. The feat of this magnitude was accompanied with an even greater challenge. In her little hand was the newest plot of mischief. Kitties should have bells, the idea formed by Corazon bitterly complaining about the rabid pink frothy thing stalking her.
Pip still didn't know why it was an issue, the kitty wouldn't come near her. Corazon was so lucky!
The adults had talked about putting a collar on with a bell so they could hear the kitty coming. The idea had been filed away until it popped back up the otherday. Now, now it had fully formed.
They needed the right time, and this was just the perfect moment. Briefly Blue Daddy's yelling caused her to freeze. It was a common enough sound that even her baby siblings didn't seem fazed. No, it was the worry it would wake up the target. Luckily, the sound only made things easier. DaemonGabrielle Gave the kiddos something to do!

Pel grinned and threw his hands out in display. "I present.....a SINK!" He was a little puffed with pride at the moment so he didnt notice the young fae wandering off behind them. Trouble let loose a silent giggle behind a tiny hand as she went to find her sister. They had plans today. Brilliant plans. Pū rolled over and kneaded her pillow a few times before quickly falling asleep. Again.

Several moments passed with wide-eyed appreciation, long gasp filling the silence. Look at the materials! The basin was so deep and that hand pump! Reaching out she moved the pump part curious about what it did. Seeing water come out elicited a squeal of delight! "This is amazing! Its brilliant! How does it work?" Rapid fire questions accompanied curious hands buzzing about. This was amazing!!A distance away, Pip worked on encouraging the ribbon itself around Pu's neck. Holding the bell kept it silent. Ribbon was smaller and much less suspicious until it got around enough to tie it up. This was going to be so perfect! Her sister and she would have to find a really good place to watch when their new friend wakes up.
