Chao laughed quietly, "wow, 'of doom', huh?" she repeated, feeling vaguely like a parrot as any thoughts of how or why Rabid would have been present on the day of the Mishap's birth skimming over her head, possibly a sign that she wasn't as she thought she was.
Reid smiled and glowed warmly, glad that the other Mishap was enjoying the sounds as much as he was. From the headphones the last few notes sounded and the song came to an end and the iPod quietly powered down.
"Ra?" Reid asked, poking at the headphones after a moment when no music rose to take the last songs place.

"Yes. Doomy-doom," Rabid held her now un-bandaged hand out to Chao, showing her the small scar, "It runs in the family." Yeah, so maybe it was fun to make fun of herself.
Malachi gave a soft growl at the sudden silence. He shook the headphones violently for a moment, before realizing that it was doing nothing.
"Bah!" he yelled and looked up toward Crazy Hair Lady and Reid-watcher.
Rabid looked down at Malachi and the headphones, then shooting Chao a questioning glace.

Chao grimaced, "very much of the doomy doom," she agreed, examining the cut, "I guess I should be happy Reid probably won't aquire fangs and just keeps me up all night."
"Mu..." Reid whined, crawling over and tugging on his mother's pant leg.
"Hrm?" the teen queriered, glancing at Reid, then to Malachi, before plucking up her iPod and gently taking the headphones from Malachi, "ah, it seems you guys got to the end of the playlist." Nudging her son slightly towards Malachi she wrapped the headophone cord around the mp3 player and put it in her pocket. "Why don't you two play a game and listen to it later?"

"I don't sleep much. It's in my nature," Rabid smiled and looked down at Malachi, "Yeah. Go play. A little excersize won't kill you."
"Bah," Malachi nodded and smiled to Chao. He turned his attention to Reid, cocking his head to one side. He didn't know many games...

"I wish I could sleep less while still functioning above zombie level," Chao muttered, pulling herself up onto one of the dryers. "I think life with a 'full nocturnal habits' equipped Mishap would be easier that way."
Reid pursed his lips and thought, he didn't know many games either, only the one's his siblings had taught him. Looking around he smiled, sighting his mother's bag and crawled over, pulling out two dragon plushes. They could play with these! "Ike," he chirped, offering one to the other Mishap.

"The undead aren't so bad," Rabid smiled and lifted herself onto a washer beside Chao, "but not having to sleep does help. Ike naps throughout the day, really. I can't quite figure him out..."
Malachi crawled up beside Reid and took the plushie, examining it closely. What was he supposed to do? He thought for a moment before making the dragon walk up to Reid, creating little growling noises in his throat and giggling.

Chao breifly had a flash of the previous halloween and shuddered, "well, no, some of them aren't. But those whose brains have leaked out of their skulls are, and that's probably how I'd be functioning." She looked over to the two Mishaps, tilting her head. "Well, Malachi is part varmpire right? So that might explain the naps during the day? Thankfully Reid sleeps during the day, while I'm at school and hangs out with my others kids/my brother. Then I can usually catch some sleep until the sun goes down and he wakes up."
Reid giggled and manuvered his dragon about, growling back at Ike's before he made it hop slightly, poucing on the other Mishap's dragon.

"Yeah. I've been lucky enough to not come across any. Many," Rabid corrected herself, and then turned toward the mishaps and smiled, "Yeah. Or he could just be tired. He's only one third Vampiric." She kicked her feet slighty. Thus far, Chao was quite nice. It was quite a lot easier to make friends within this group of people than out in the rest of the world.
Malachi gave an exaggerated gasp before quickly pulling his dragon from under Reid's, placing it on the other mishap's head and giggling.

Chao grimaced, "did you go the bash Gambino held last year on Halloween? Gods, there were brains on the floor," she shuddered, "it was like being trapped in Shaun of the Dead or something."
She stretched, listening to things crack and pop, grimacing as something slid against something else painfully before flopping back into a laying posistion, quietly glad that the guardians of the Mishaps seemed to be as easy to get along with as the Tale Authors she'd met. There were any boundaries that came from wondering how much the others knew or whether they thought that four armed children were just mutations and should be kept away.
"I wonder why so much of Gaia's population is oblivious to things like the Mishaps and magic...?" she mused out loud.
Reid gave a triumphant roar, though it came out a bit less furocious than he'd intended. As Ike's dragon retailiated he gasped then made gurgling and groaning noises as he shuffled dragon under Ike's until it could pry it's head loose and make a quick retreat. Turning around he faced Ike and growled lowly, making his dragon plush paw at the ground.

"I did," Rabid sighed, "but it lost interest when I found I couldn't be turned undead...or that the vials didn't work. In-body things being out-of-body doesn't bother me a whole lot. Call me morbid if you like." She snerked and leaned against the wall behind her.
Malachi giggled again before placing his dragon opposite Reid's, growling and moving it from side to side. Alright, so maybe it looked more like some sort of odd mating dance, but that didn't phase him much.

"Ugh. Then from now on Morbid shall be your name, and you shall be Morbid forevermore," Chao intoned solemnly.
Reid giggled at the dance like movements and let out a small roar as he made his dragon charge at Ike's.

"Morbid? Heh, alright. Rabid and Morbid. Sweet," Rabid laughed and brought her legs up meditation style. She looked toward Reid and Ike, "awww"ing softly.
Malachi gave a guttural growl and made his dragon charge forward also, smashing his's head into the other's.

Chao laughed and looked over towards the Mishaps, 'aww'ing as well. "They're so cute when they're tiny."
Reid gasped as the dragons clashed and manuvered his so that it went flying back from Ike's, accidently losing his grip and causing the poor plush to be thrown halfway across the room.

"Let's just hope it stays that way," Rabid smiled and sighed. It was hard to watch them grow day by day. So far, Ike seemed to be making friends fairly easily, but it was hard to tell what he'd be like later on.
Malachi gasped and dropped to all fours, crawling over to Reid's plush with his own still clutched in his fist. He grabbed Reid's dragon with his free hand and crawled back, waddling slightly.

Chao nodded in silent agreement.
Reid smiled his glow strengthening happily and he crawled forward, meeting Ike halfway, taking his dragon plush gingerly in one hand and giving it a hug as an apology for throwing it.
