Journal
Journal,
Heh, it’s been a while hasn’t it? I guess I should sum up what all’s been happening here at home.
Things could be better, I suppose. Ily’s become a bit more like her diligence side, although her tantrums have gotten significantly more... violent. Yet, her control of said anger has gotten a bit better and by a bit I mean little things don’t send her into a blind rage, not to mention that she gets over things rather quickly.
Other than that, things have been relatively the same as before. Ily’s constantly running around (literally) and making friends at every turn she makes as well as some... unintentional enemies. Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking about switching jobs. The underground has been getting bolder in its attacks at the surface as of late and I can’t be taking on extra hours. Ily requires at least twenty-six hours of care a day and yes I’m fully aware there are only twenty-four in a day which doesn’t make any sort of difference as far as I’m aware. She’s a full time job and I can only do so much with things as of right now.
God, I must be the worst parent alive...
Damon Spectre

((I kinda lost Orphy's opener post. >_> Oops.)) Ily/Iah PD
Unlike the spawn that had just recently entered the park, Ily was completely social and unable to help getting into the faces of those she found interesting. That also meant she gave Damon quite the workout when she ran off, being many times faster than the older adult. Thankfully the park he was often dragged to was spacious and had a nice, tall fence around it to keep people from sneaking in or out.
"Ily will you PLEASE stop running into people? It's very rude," Damon commented with a tired sigh as the little girl caused yet another person to stumble or trip as she zoomed along the sidewalk. She always tended to have the most energy right after she awoke from her weekly naps and today was no exception. That being said, the diligence spawn continued her half run, half skip down the sidewalk and into the park. Had she been paying a little less attention, she wouldn't have noticed the kid with bright red tentacles lurking near the entrance.
Ily did a sudden one-eighty turn, eyes wide with wonder as she managed to get a good look at the older spawn. "Hiya! You has awesome red tenta-thingies! Oooh! You has tree eyes? Tha's awesome!" she gasped, remaining just out of reach of the tentacles for one reason or another. Whether she actually knew of their aggressive nature or not was a complete mystery upon itself, as well as how she knew since the girl never made a single move to get closer and inspect the strange spawn.
Iah was keeping his eyes on his more aggressive tentale and it was because he was watching that particular limb that he missed that someone was coming up on him. He didn't even realize until she spoke and his entire body gave a jump. He turned quickly and jerked back when his tentacle lashed out instantly toward the girl who was, thankfully just out of reach, "AH! I-I'm s-sorry!" He gasped out, reaching his hands up to catch hold of the tentacle trying to pull it back. As he did that the one wrapped around him tightened its hold in a manner that clearly said that Iah belonged to it. The boy struggled a moment to loosen its hold before giving up, he was to weak to fight against their seemingly limitless strength.
Instead he turned his attention back to the girl, taking another step back, "I'm s-sorry. They aren't... n-nice..." He whispered, his body tense as he awaited another lashing out but for the moment it seemed that the one he held onto was happier tangling his hands together to pull them away from the girl, as though they didn't want Iah to touch the girl.
Ily watched the boy, tail swishing slowly back and forth. They didn't look very nice, now, did they? Not to mention they moved slowly. Really, how did they ever expect to hit anyone at that rate? "It okies. They's can't hit me! I'm fastah den ev'rybody I know," she replied, seemingly picking up on the fact that the boy couldn't control those evil red tentacles. "I'm Ilyrosa, but you's can call me Ily. Wha's your name?" she asked, quickly becoming antsy. She hated standing around in one place for too long, even if it was to talk with a really strange looking kid. "Wanna play together? Meanie tenta-thingies can' hurt me if they can' catch me!" Which was essentially true, so long as they didn't get smart and trip her or something.
Iah gave a bit of a smile when the girl said that she was to fast to be hit and he gave a little nod, "That's... a g-good thing. B-Being faster then t-them will k-keep you safe." He murmured, doing his best to ignore how entangled he was by the two tentacles, "M-My name is Iah." He said, giving her a smile. So her name was Ilyrosa? That was a nice name he thought and her nickname was even nice, "Ily is a n-nice name." He complimented her. Iah himself was a very friendly and loving boy, the only problem being that his tentacles refused to share him with anyone else.
"Thanks Iah. Tha's nice of you t' say. Guess your meanie tenta-things should learn from yew," Ily replied, nodding as if that would solve all Iah's problems. More like they'd pretend to be nice and beat the snot out of someone when they were least suspecting. Oh well, she could take a hit if need be. "So whatcha wanna do? Or will dose meanies not let you play?" That seemed to be almost a sin to the overly energetic girl, being unable to play and mess around like any other kid. Bouncing with sudden renewed excitement, she suddenly had the fantastic idea of climbing on the jungle gym. "Wanna-climb-on-dat?" The girl barely paused in her question, a wide grin spreading across her face at the very IDEA of gaining a new friend. "C'MON! Le's go!" She was severely tempted to grab the poor boy's tentacles and drag him off like she had done to her father and various people multiple times before.
Iah looked at the tentacles before he flushed, "Ahh... yeah." He murmured, giving a little bit of a sighing sound. His tentacles never seemed to behave but he knew better then to agree with her, if he agreed with her on the fact that his tentacles should learn from him the tentacles would take a swing or two at him, "They... can be difficult when it comes to playing." He said after a moment, sure that they wouldn't get in trouble for that. He glanced toward the jungle gym with all three eyes before nodding. He gave a bit of a smile and a nod, he was willing to try it out even though he knew the two red limbs might act up if he was having too much fun with someone other then them.
He hurried along after the girl, going toward the interesting metal structure, "Yes, lets go." He wanted to try to play! It was up to his tentacles about whether or not he would be able to do so.
Upon hearing that Iah would, indeed, attempt to have fun with her despite the obviously grouchy tentacles Ily could have hugged him. No one ever really wanted to play nowadays now that the usual park-goers knew of her limitless energy reserves. Racing over to the metallic dome, the girl hesitated a moment before climbing up the strange spider-worked design that laced across it. "C'mon Iah! You can see ev'rythin' up here!" the girl giggled, dangling her feet through one of the many openings as she surveyed the scene. Very few kids were actually in the park around this time, since most were at school or daycare and had their own playgrounds.
These bars, they had enough of an opening for her to swing down like she could on the monkey bars, right? Leaning back, the girl felt just how close she was to tumbling through and stopped to lean forward again and regain her balance. Maybe another time.
He hurried over after her, doing his best to keep up, then paused as he reached the foot of the bars. He looked them over carefully before he reached his hands out to run them over it. It was smooth and cool. He should be able to do this he thought to himself as he started his climb. It seemed though that his tentacles realized that he was following the girl and their possessive jealousy seemed to kick in as both suddenly lunged forward to grab hold of the bars, wrapping around them, making him jerk forward and he nearly fell off the structure, "Ah! Hey!" He pushed himself up, struggling with them as he tried to get them to let go of the bars, "Hey! Come on... I want go play..."
Ily watched as Iah started to climb up the bars, kicking her feet curiously. He managed to get up only a little bit before his tentacles leapt into action. They were like little snakes, constricting themselves around "their" boy, it seemed. Strange little things, weren't they? An idea slowly began to form in the little girl's mind. If they tried to hit anyone that came into reach of Iah, perhaps they might let go and flail after her if she climbed down next to him.
"Hold on Iah! I'ma save you!" Ily called down, giggling softly at her devious plan. Quick, deft hands darted one after the other down the cool metal bars, grabbing whichever one was close and finally stopping as she got just out of reach of her new friend. Slowly, a somewhat tanned hand reached out to the bright red tentacles, waiting. If they struck out, her hand would snap back and out of reach before they could touch her. If they didn't... well, she'd have to think of something else, now, wouldn't she?
Iah looked up at her, eyes huge, and he gave a rapid shake of his head, "Ah! N-No! Wait..." He whimpered, not wanting her to get any closer then she already was to him. As per usual with the two of the red tentacles the moment that she got nearby they rose up in anger. One of them wrapped around Iah tightly, nearly blinding him the way they wrapped around his head while the other one set to swinging at the girl in an angry fashion. How dare she get so close!
Upon seeing the tentacles shift a bit, her hand zipped back as quick as lightning and was epically missed by the far slower tentacles. "Meanie tenta-thingies ca-an't catch mee~" the girl sang tauntingly, climbing up a little higher and over a bit to taunt the other tentacle into letting their precious child go. Once again, she reached out her hand and pulled it back quickly as the tentacle lunged towards it aggressively. As the one struck out more and more, her hand snapped back with more and more precision and even went so far as to follow the strange writhing tentacle just a couple inches ahead of it. To the wrath girl, this was all a game much like the one her father had taught her out of boredom. To this day, she was still the champion and he probably regretted teaching her it...
A soft squeak escaped from Iah as he found himself being yanked forward by the tentacles toward where the girl was and he couldn't do anything but follow after her, her body trembling, "Ahh... s-slow down... t-tentacles." He squeaked at them, catching hold of the bars and pulled backward, trying to get them to stop yanking him along but he wasn't strong enough to hold them back so ultimately he gave in and followed.
Ily giggled as the tentacles continued to lash out at her, pulling her new friend slowly higher along the bars. Moving back at the same pace they moved forward, the girl continued her little game to draw the boy higher and higher by the sheer power of the red tentacles. "Almost there... tada!" The spawn darted to the side to evade the next and any future attacks. "There ya go~ Now we's at th' top!" she giggled, kicking her feet happily. She had successfully managed to get the kid all the way to the top without being hit or letting Iah fall.
Iah gave a sighing sound as he sat down on the top and looked around the area, eyes wide, then lifted a hand to rub it against his eyes, "T-This is... amazing." He murmured, looking around the area and realized that everything looked different and interesting up here, "W-Wow." He murmured shyly, finding this to be quite amazing! He'd never gotten to be up so high as this before and was finding it to be quite a great place to perch since you could see a good distance across the park.
Ily giggled at Iah's amazement at the fantastic view. "Yeah. Always really awesome waaaaay up here," she replied softly, having been up on top of the structure multiple times before. She always made it a habit to climb to the top and look around when Damon brought her to the park, just in case something changed and to look out for strange kids that wouldn't shudder or scream and run away at her appearance. That happened far too often for her tastes and it seemed like the strange ones, like herself and Iah, didn't mind as much and was far more likely to stick around and play. "What chu wanna do next, Iah?" the girl asked after what felt like hours had gone by. Which, of course, in reality was about 5 minutes.

+Blood, Guns, and Vengeance+ ((Beware, this contains violence and not the good kind either. I've minimized it, as it's mostly from Ily's point of view and stoofs, but violence is violence. You have been warned.)) Silence enveloped the Spectre household as the movie that was on returned from commercial break. The house was actually clean for once, all the dishes washed and put away while the usual empty bags of chips in the garbage out back. Neither Ilyrosa nor Damon suspected or were alerted to several people sneaking around the house. Each cloaked in black and wearing some form of a mask and assault protection, they took up a position at each of the main windows and doors. Dark guns glinted in their hands, malice and harm clear in their eyes. A quick hand signal was sent around the house and, after only a few short seconds, shot several rounds into the mansion. Glass shards and drywall pieces scattered through the air while a high-pitched scream further destroyed the peaceful silence. “Ily get down! Go hide in the closet in the hallway! GO!” Damon hissed, pushing the girl to the floor a second before a bullet passed through where her head had been. As the bullets stopped firing, a deathly silence fell upon the house once again. Yet this didn’t hold the peace that the previous one had. No, this one was tense and filled with anticipation and was quickly shattered as the strange men broke down the doors and climbed in through windows. “Damon, Damon, Damon. I didn’t expect for you to have a child. Why, that’s almost downright stupid. Didn’t you know we would come after you someday?” one growled, one gun pointed at Ily’s head while the rest were aimed at some section of Damon’s body. Slowly standing, deep blood-red eyes appraised each of the masked intruders with hate. How dare they attack him like this? “You’re all a bunch of cowards, attacking an unarmed man. You won’t get away with this,” he hissed back, roaring and tackling the nearest guy right as the triggers were pulled. Only one managed to imbed a metal bullet within his arm before the two men collided. From there, all Ily saw and heard was silence and flying hands. The one that had been charged with keeping an eye on her had joined the fray as if it would help even the odds against Damon. What was going on?! “D-daddy?” she whimpered, calling the attention of the so-called leader. “ILYROSA! RUN! Don’t turn-ARG!-GO ILY! RUN! GO SOMEWHERE SAFE!” “Get the girl! He won’t harm us if we have her!” The leader and Damon both called out at the same time, Damon getting another gunshot somewhere on his person. Run... She had to get out of there... A sharp pain on her shoulder brought sound and life back into the spawn as orange eyes flashed upwards. A massive hand gripped her shoulder whilst the other reached out to grab something else, probably. Run... Like a switch, all thoughts and memory was drowned out as a sort of primal instinct of survival took over the child. Snarling, talons slashed at the hand on her shoulder while her fangs bit down on the outstretched hand. A howl of pain, a slackened grip, and she was gone. No thoughts pervaded her mind except the need to run and never look back. She had to keep running, had to keep going, couldn’t stop. A part of her wanted to turn back and rip the strange men to shreds for hurting her father but... Run... That was all she knew how to do really. Bright light filtered through the spawn’s eyes, startling Ily awake. How long had she been unconscious? “Where am I?” A quick look around told her all she really needed to know; she was lost in a forest near a road of sorts. Or at least, she thought she could hear cars rolling by somewhere in the distance. What happened anyways? Flashes of the house with floors and walls coated in splashes of blood entered her mind. A hazy red fogged them over, almost obscuring Damon and varying bodies that laid motionless on the floor from her view. The world grew hazy and distorted as tears formed in the young spawn’s eyes. Wiping them away angrily, Ily set her eyes in the direction of where she thought the cars were coming from. This was no time for crying! She had to get somewhere safe, and Nina seemed to live a good distance from her house so that seemed to be the best idea. Hand clasped tightly around the necklace Damon had bought her and wearing little more than shorts and a tank top stained with blood and dirt, the child set off in the direction of the road. Determined eyes scanned the woods diligently, free of any sort of playfulness and child antics. Now wasn't the time to get distracted, she had to get to Nina's before they got to her like they had Damon... No, she had to be strong, like he had told her to be during those nights she had nightmares. "Daddy... I hope you're alright... Wherever you are."

~Ily's Journal~
Dear Diary,
This is my first time writing to you. I don't know why I am, but maybe someone will find it if something bad happens to me like... Like... I guess I better explain. Last night was scary. I... My shoulder hurts from those bad guys where they tried to grab me and... Daddy... Is this what he does at work? All those loud explosions... why isn’t he deaf yet? I hope daddy’s ok... I-I saw the blood and-and... ((water and varying stains block out whatever was written the next couple of lines))
He said run, so I did. I’m hiding out in the woods an heading I don’t know where. I think it’s Nina’s house cause I remember where she lives. There’s always these angry dogs that try and chase me but nothing can catch Ilyrosa Spectre!
Although... It is really cold out here at night and I’m really hungry... I hope I’m close cause I don’ wanna be found by those scary dogs or those people that... that...
Daddy, you said you’d keep me safe and everything would be alright. You lied to me.
Why?
Ilyrosa

It would be on a Saturday that you open your mail box (if you have one) and notice there is a rather thick envelope stuffed in there. There is no postage stamp and a very vague return address. But you recognize the font and the company's name. 'Seven of Seven Inc' scrawled in majestic font across the upper left hand corner. As you open it, you may strangely find yourself drawn to the letter, there is a mass of notes inside. They read as follows:
Letter Congratulations! You have managed to succeed in raising your child. (IE: Not killing him or her or getting killed yourself. Haha we kid of course.) We would like an update from you on the following: Guardians Name: Child's Name: Sin: Virtue: Gender: Current Attitude: Likes: Dislikes: Any abnormal growths: (if any, example: Feathers molting, horns growing larger, scars ) Current hair style: Current clothing preferences: Dominant celestial trait: (The sin or virtue) Please summarize in your own words how difficult or easy it was taking care of your child. Did you manage to care for them in a kindly fashion? Or were you forced to discipline them? As well do not be alarmed if you suddenly find your child achieving a massive growth spurt in the next little while. We are finding that the children from our facility have strange growing patterns and are rather unpredictable. Although please let us know if anything unexpected occurs. Sincerely the technicians from Seven of Seven Inc. Ps. Please just leave your letter back in your mail box one you have completed it our courier will pick it up. Thank you.
You would notice the letter seems overly friendly...strange since the scientist were so ...cold before.
(Just take the from Guardians name to Dominant Celestial trait and pm it to the mule, the summarization doesn't have to be long just have fun with it.)

+A... Brother?+ “But Daddy,” Ily whined, crossing her arms across her chest, “You just got home from the hospital! You shouldn’t be driving or... or... or anything! And why do I have to have a brother or sister? Why can’t someone else get the kid?” she continued as Damon struggled with putting on a shirt like he had been for the past half hour. It was a sad sight to behold, watching a grown man struggle with a simple clothing object. But, he had a reason as the bulky and seemingly unnecessary bandages made things fairly difficult. It was even more so with several rib fractures and every movement made painful. “I’m sorry Ily, but I have to and I have no choice in the matter. Be glad we’re taking a taxi and my tolerance for pain is far more than most especially with these pain meds. Besides, a few fractured ribs and some holes in my shoulder won’t take me down THAT easily,” Damon replied, grunting softly as he managed to finally pull his shirt on. Before Ily could say anything back, unfortunately, the taxi arrived with a loud honk. It took the two almost a half hour to get to the facility and not because of the distance or traffic. No, the real time waster was getting Damon in and out of the taxi since he couldn’t exactly bend his midsection or put too much weight on his one arm. After a bit of a struggle with exiting the vehicle, the two finally made it to the building and upon entering found a little naga boy unconscious and coiled up in a chair directly in the sunlight that filtered through the door window. A nod and signature later, the tech was gone leaving the two alone in the lobby with the strange spawn and a small folder on his basic genetics and abilities. “Does he have a name?” Ily whispered, not wanting to wake the kid up. Who knew how upset he’d be anyways? Damon slowly nodded. Odd how this one just happened to have a name and Ily didn’t... A soft yawn stirred the air, the toddler awakening and rubbing his eyes sleepily. “Allo. I Seff. Who yoo?” his soft voice asked curiously, sounding fairly sleepy still. His purple eyes appraised Damon and Ily individually as he waited for a response, barely moving from his coiled up position except to try and rub the sleep away from his eyes or to stifle a quiet yawn. “I’m Damon, your new guardian. This is Ilyrosa, your sister. We’re here to take you home Seth,” Damon explained with a smile. He was definitely going to be a lot more mellow and easier to handle than Ily. Whether the fact that they were total opposites would prove to be a problem or not was still anyone’s guess. Then again, Ily did seem to get along well with just about everyone that didn’t seem to insult her or her friends... Yeah, things would be fine if she could get over their first meeting and the idea of having a brother. “Oh... Kay. Up?” Seth asked, lifting his arms to be picked up already. It was fairly obvious he had found a preferred mode of transportation whilst at the facility. Well, it wasn’t like he really had a choice. Being fairly sweet, light, and cuddly it was difficult for some of the techs to NOT pick him up and carry him around for a while on their break or while they studied him a bit. Damon just sighed and shook his head. “Sorry kiddo, but I can’t pick you up right now,” he replied, already looking sad at the fact too. Seth just stared at the two, arms slowly dropping to his sides. “Oh... Oh-kay,” he muttered, slowly uncoiling and slipping down onto the floor and off the chair he had been sleeping in only a little while before. Yet, he didn’t head for the door as expected and instead slithered over to where Ily and Damon were standing, taking hold of the older man’s hand. “Daddy huwt?” he asked softly before finally offering Ily his other hand which was promptly ignored. “Ily, please? He’s your brother whether you like it or not,” Damon muttered, giving the preteen a stern look. With a heavy sigh Ily bent down to Seth’s height and looked into his purple eyes. “Seth, is it?” she asked him, peering deep into the lavender depths for some sort of weakness or waiting for one to appear if he squirmed away from her piercing orange stare. Seth just stared back for a long moment, releasing Damon’s hand, not even blinking. Then, out of nowhere, he leaned forward and wrapped his pale arms around Ilyrosa’s middle, catching her fairly off guard. Slowly, though, the preteen got over that and hugged the little toddler back. It was a rather tender moment as the two hugged whether for comfort or to give it. Damon simply blinked as Ily broke the embrace and picked Seth up, setting him on her shoulders. “You’re alright Booger-butt. Welcome to our... uh, family,” Ily said with a grin, mimicking the one on Seth’s face. “Yay! Whee!” Seth giggled, gently holding onto his sister’s horns while his lower half wrapped around her middle to secure himself. As soon as Ily felt he was secure and unlikely to fall, she bounded out the door, zipping and zooming around to the toddler’s utmost delight. Damon simply watched as he made his way to the taxi, laughing at how adorable the two were together after only knowing about the other for what had to be less than five minutes. Maybe a brother was what Ily needed after all..
