Welcome to Gaia! ::

SNEEZE!

Benji picks up Roddy, giving his head a gentle rub before he picks up the feather to tickle his nose. "Poor little batty... oh, there you go!" he murmurs as the little fellow finally gives a soft sneeze.

HATS!
Benji decides to try and give Sierra another hat today. He picks up an ice-cream-cone shaped hat, and screeches in surprise at the small bat's sudden rage. Putting up his hands to ward off her angry flapping, he drops the hat and backs out of the booth, turning tail and running. The last thing he wants to do is fight back and hurt the small, adorable bats, even if one is currently attempting to bite his nose right off his face.

MARRIAGE!

Hel was familiar with 'Oh-da-cheese' from Mac and his screeDS playing, and whenever he wasn't playing it, she often tried to arrange all his little characters into some sort of marriages, so...OF COURSE SHE HAD TO COME AND TRY THIS NOW!

The reaper was probably a bit creepy as she stood above the bats, staring down at them with her hands clasped and with baited breath...

...

Oh wait, yeah, she had to help them!

The reaper was adjusting a few things here and there on the train station card board diorama because everything needed to be perfect for the bats! Ah! The reaper was leaned over and almost had her face smooshed into the box as she waited, and it was so close! The bat was getting down on one little knee and--

WOOSH!

Hel let out a cry as the box fell onto the ground and the two bats flew away.

She stared down at the box in absolute horror before she whipped her head around to catch sight of the student who had knocked it over.

"HEY!" She cried, her brows knitting as she immediately dove in through the crowd after the student. Some one was getting beat up.

MARRIAGE!
Benji listens to the two small bats' lack of confidence. He helps the male bat plan out a delicious dinner of everything that Fiasco thinks Bobbaleen would like; sadly, once it's set up, Bobbaleen has apparently gotten cold feet and flown away to parts unknown. Benji gives Fiasco a comforting pat, but there's really not much else he can do.

CHEESE!
Benji waves happily in greeting to Nosemarsh, still giving Sierra something of a wide berth after the incident with the ice-cream-cone hat. He strikes what he hopes is a proud, heroic pose, and apparently this works even better than he thought because not only does Nosemarsh look happy, but a cute, tiny young bat whose name he doesn't know seems almost to swoon before landing on his head and refusing to let go; it's as if ...he? she?... wants to leave with him! He looks around cautiously, not wanting to anger the little one's family, but none of the other bats seem to be paying attention to them, and she looks so sad when he tries to set her down that he decides he'll let her stay with him, at least for now.

MARRIAGE!

Mayaa was back to help her furry little friends, and this time, she didn't bring food-shaped hats!
She didn't because this time... she was helping two bats get married?
Oh, this was so exciting!!!

She watched curiously as one of the bats prepared some food (food was always good!), but sadly, the other didn't show up. :C

MARRIAGE!
As Benji walks back into the booth, he spots a familiar-looking female bat flying in small, nervous circles in a corner. It's Bobbaleen! He walks over to greet her, and listens to her frantic squeaking and watches her exaggerated gestures. The latter are slightly easier for him to understand, and she seems to understand his words based on some nodding and shaking her head 'no', so he soon finds himself in a rather weird conversation with her.

"You... cry? Sad? No... you're sorry. Okay.. That you... fell over? No? Oh, that you disappeared, when Fiasco was... stirring... Cooking... Oh! I understand now." He reaches out to give him a comforting pat, but she shies away and is clearly not done "talking" yet. Her next statements are somewhat easier to understand, based on what she's already told him: she didn't show up because she was afraid, and she wants to make it up to Fiasco, but she's more afraid now, thinking he'll be mad at her.

He reaches out to her again. "C'mere," he says softly, encouraging her to land on his hand and walking off to another area of the booth for some tasty food (for her) and a little pep talk. She perks right up soon enough, and before long she's flying off to find the groom-to-be with a large bouquet of flowers. Not long after that, Benji is leaving the booth with a grin like the cat that ate the proverbial canary while the two lovebird bats... lovebats? ... snuggle happily in a corner of a comfy little diorama.


I randomly decided to continue from last time Benji tried to help these two, and Bobbaleen never showed up to dinner with Fiasco... took some artistic license with why Bobbaleen's proposing now rather than just 'resetting' the little guys. They're too cute to just 'reset' rofl
