Deimos umphed loudly, and repressed a yelp as he fell to the ground, his tail tugged. That was enough. He pulled himself to his feet, forming a fireball in his hand. He heaved it at Bax, rage in his eyes. How.. How dare he?

"Ah, brute strength." There wasn't much time to comment but it was worth the wasted effort, his tail flicked again as once more as a ball of water was summoned before him. Enveloping the on comming fireball, extinguishing it's flame, Baxterfullous looked dreadfully bored. "Lesson two, know your weaknesses."

Deimos growled with anger. The door to his power swung open and flames crept up him from hsi hand oujtwards, until he was engulfed entirely in flames. He lunged at the cat, ready to barbeque him.

"By order of council I declare this a duel." Baxterfullous stated as soon as Deimos began to growl, a wisp of dark smoke surounded the cat, stretching and pulling at his form. A bestial scream errupted from the inky blackness. Then it stopped, the smoke clearly and out stepped a very tall and angry man. His skin was paler than the new fallen snow and his hair was as dark as the shadows that surrounded him. He was drapped in black and dark blue robes, and behind him was somethng strange... a cat tail? And atop his head protrude black cat ears.
His cobalt blue eyes stare as the charging Deimos, a mere wave of his hand a burst of water shot towards the demon mishap with such a force it would've knocked him right off his feet. " Let's repeat the begining of the lesson? Since you are such a slowl insufferable snot." He stepped quitely out of the way of the way of the door, his hand waving towards it, it shuttered quietly before he moved away from it.
Aphrodite blinked from where she sat, gulping. "I think uncle Baxie is mad." She flew over towards the door and down to the floor pushing at the plastic cat door, which didn't budge. "No move! Bad!" She smacked the plastic cat door.
"What tooks you?" A quiet voice came from behind, garreth pouted his head was on the ground..
"Deimos wanted to tell me something... I'm sorry I didn't come back quicks like I promised.." She sniffled rubbing her own eyes turning to her baby brother and hugging his face. "I sorries."

Deimos was tossed back, soaking wet onto the wall. He panted, trying to regain the breath that had just been knocked out of him. He looked up at Bax with a mixture of anger, awe and respect. He made an attempt at a fireball, but he was so wet, just the dripping from his hair put it out right away. He stayed on all fours, taking heavy breaths before he looked up into Bax's eyes, smirking.
"Ok.. You win, this time, Mr. Bax.." He said with a smidge of difficulty. He used the wall to stand, slipping up slightly with the pool of water at his feet but after a few attempts made it up.

"It seems we do not need to repeat the first two lessons after all..." His form dispersed into a inky wisp of smoke, turning back into his cat form. "... Since you've already mastered lesson three, knowing when to admit defeat."
A few whispered words left his mouth as all the water evaporated rather quickly, drying the floor, walls, and Deimos. "You have potentional, but you cannot harness it with such a chaotic mind. I am willing to teach, if you are willing to learn. "

Deimos smirked, regaining his brother. "Mother says not many teachers can handle me. I'm up to it if you are." He said, still leaning against the wall. He'd have a magic teacher now, one who could teach him to overcome his weaknesses. He wouldn't be weak against anything afterwards..

"I will begin lessons as soon as your mother agrees. You are to bring two blank notebooks, a pen, two pencils, assortment of school supplies, lunch, and a bag fit to carry these items." He flicked the tip of his tail, the door to Aphrodite's room shuddered once again. "I have taught many pupils, including Catherine, her mother, her grandmother and so forth. I now continue this tradtion with Aphrodite and soon the other two once they can grasp this concept... I do not dawdle and I teach what is worth knowing. I do not teach how ever failures and those who do not do their homework. I will not teach pupils who refuse to listen. It is now late, and I have to continue Aphrodite's lessons, goodnight. " Nodding quietly he walked into the room using the cat door.

Deimos gaped slightly. How'd he remeber all that. "I'll tell Mother then." He replied simply, running over the supplies in his head. He felt a feeling of dread wash over him. "Bye, then.. Tell Smalls bye." He said, walkign off.

A loud snapping and breaking sound could heard coming from within the walls, ceilling and floor. The whole structure started to tremble and change, taking a new, bigger and more elaborate form
It didn't take long before it stoped, but nothing was in the same place anymore
The once 'small' green area had now turned into a huge place
To the north a huge sea-like lake covered most of the landscape, with a set of islands floating in the distance
To the east a higly ridged mountain rose from the ground, with a luxuriant forest growing at its feet. A small road was barely visible, going all the way up and then disapearing to the other side
To the west and south the once forbidden woods were now a large dark forest. And between it, the lake and the river stood a complex of buildings that were the newly formed farm
And the inside the HQ had also suffered a drastic change. It was now much bigger and taller than before, despite of the 2nd an3rd floor fusing together
On the first floor a whole new area had been added on the east side, dedicated to the instruction of the Mishaps
The older blue, red and yellow areas had also changed. New rooms were added and the older ones were wider than before
The Mishaps rooms were now placed in a new disposition, all of in one single floor now. They too had expanded, giving the guardians and their children a much wider space to live in
Also a new magic was given to them, allowing the rooms to be chaged directly by the guardians whenever they needed
And as for the 3rd floor, the attic had lowered and merged with it, while the minishop inflated its space. Also a semi-natural pond and luxuriant vegetation covered the rest of the now soil covered floor

Catherine poked her head out of Aphrodite's room, looking left and then right at the hallways of the second floor. Closing the door, she took a deep breath, opening it quickly and rather abruptly. "Ha!" ... Nothing was different, it was still the same hallway she saw previously. The plump witch took a deep breath, her short brown hair bouncing with her movement.
"Mama are you a crazy?" Squeeked a voice.
Peering inside the room, Catherine eyed the tiny wasp mishap, who was sitting on the bed playing with her Alphonse who was now her size. "No.. it's just it was embarassing when we came back into the building the other day and everything was all topsy turvy and I had to spend 500 gold for train tickets to Barton to go all the way to Salem's house just to use your bedroom door to get back here." Catherine huffed, well it was at least embarrassing on her behalf. sighing she fixed her peasant shirt and skirt, barefoot she poked her head inside the apartment. Picking up the little icemaiden baby that was playing quietly infront of the television. Kissing the top of the baby head she cooed little whispers.
"Mama!" Garreth giggled as the eight foot long baby dragon nuzzled into Catherine's thigh as she walked into Aphrodite's room.
Aphrodite merely giggled, whispering into the ear of her Alphonse. "Yeah Mama's silly sometimes, but she's still a good mama too."
Catherine blinked, it seemed Aphrodite took up her imaginary freinds again. "You wanna bring Ed along too?"
"To where?" the tiny babe stood up on the bed toddling to the pillow and lifting up the Ed plushie that was like Alphonse, her size.
Garreth was curious himself. "Yeah mama where?"
"Well, I wanna say hello to one of the new parents here. They adopted a baby that had nobody to take care of them for a very long time." She looked about trying to find Baxterfullous, shrugging guessing he was off doing his own thing.
The tiny toddler stopped for a moment, looking at Al, then Ed, and then back to her mother. "That's sad. Mama Ed and Al say they wanna meet the baby."
Garreth blinked, frowning a bit. He understood that feeling, burying his face into his mother's thigh again.
Smiling, she picked up Aphrodite, along with Ed and Al, placing them in a basket. With Nariko in her arms and Garreth right behind them, they made their way down the hallway. Reading the names on the doors, it took Catherine awhile but towards the opposite end of the hallway she finally found Bergerac's room. Knocking lighlty, she smiled and waited for a response.

There. Finished at last.
Varlen leaned against a wall of Bergerac's room, half-admiring the decorating and setting up job he had just spent the last couple of hours doing. Of course, most of that time had been spent in setting up that damn tapestry to connect with his lab and the house. It had proven to be a bigger chore than he liked, what with all the safety spells so someone wouldn't wander through and raise all hell and destroy his various rare (not to mention valuable) instruments and items, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. But at last he was done with things.
Now what?
Thoughtfully, the drow's crimson gaze fell upon Bergerac, who sat in her crib. The baby was watching him, and had been the whole time. She hadn't uttered a noise, but Varlen wasn't too bothered by that. It kept distractions to a minimum, to say the least. But he didn't know if it was her blank blue eyes or the instensity of the stare that made it... somewhat eerie. She still continued to stare at him, and he merely stared back. To be honest, Varlen hadn't the SLIGHTEST idea of what to do with a baby. He had tried to get Anvion to help him out, but since she was busy with twin babies of her own, she had merely chucked a baby care book at him and had snapped at him to figure it all out. However, he had found the book to be... quite useless...
"So..." he sighed, as if to break the silence that had settled on the room. "Looks like it's just the two of us, huh?"
Bergerac, in response, tilted her head and reached out a small hand to Varlen. "Da."
"Da? Yeah. I'm your... dad... now, I guess..." No matter how many times he was reminded of it, it still seemed damned strange to Varlen. He was about to let the akward silence settle in once again, only to be interrupted by the soft knocking at the door. Frowning, the tall drow slid over to the door, eyes narrowed in curiosity. Who in the hells would come knocking? News seemed to travel fast if it was someone coming to greet him.
He poned the door halfway, enough so that he could see out, but it was still kept closed enough so that his lean frame could block most of the doorway. He was mildly surprised to see a woman with an armload of kids. Hn. Reminded him of Anvion in a way.
Continuing to eye the woman in a fairly suspicious manner, the drow arched a silvery-white eybrow. "Yes?"
Bergerac also seemed interested in the sound, but more interested in the fat that there was someone... or a few someones... outside. She made a small noise of curiosity and dtried to lean to the side so that she could peer around Varlen, but to no avail. So she merely sat back and waited for 'Da' to move.

"Boo." Nariko, the baby snowmaiden declared pointing at the dark elf.
Catherine a made a bemused face, shaking her head. Bringing her hand up to push down Nariko's gently. "Hello, my name's Catherine... we live down the hallway." Her smiled was more gently then anything, she seemed a bit surprised to see that he was a drow, but in no way did she seem disgusted.
Aphrodite blinked from her shoulder perch, clinging to her plushies. "Hi. My name is Aphrodite." She waved smiling towards the dark elf. "Oo.. why you black? Mama did he get covered in soot?"
Catherine bit her lip, biting back a laugh. "No sweetie, ." It wasn't uncommon sight for Catherine at least in her childhood years, though that was another story for another time. "He's a drow." Turning back to Varlen. "I'm sorry, she's never really seen many other types of people in the world. She can be a bit nosey at times if she's cruious enough." She stage whispered in an amusing sort of way.
"Boo." The snowmaiden pointed at Aphrodite. "Ssisisisissssss."
Aphrodite made a face, much like her mother did. "Silly baby."
Sighing, Catherine retraced her point of the coversation. "I wanted to come by and say hello and quite possibly, if you like, let them meet Bergerac. I remebered being told about her, and about how her gaurdian gave her up. I was sad about it, but she has you now!" Her expression brightened. "She's very lucky to have found someone."
Hiding behind his mother's skirt tails was an eightfoot long baby dragon, peeking out occasionally. Being insufferably shy was one of Garreth's down falls.

Varlen listened to the chattering, the expression on his face seemingly unimpressed, even bored. He eyed the four beings gathered outside his door a for a few moments longer, then finally gave a small sigh and pulled the door all the way open, stepping to the side so that they could all enter.
"Varlen," he replied tersely as an introduction. There was no other real greeting from him, but, then again, since when were the drow known for hospitality. "You can come in if you wish."
From her spot, Bergerac could hear several voices, and not just Varlen's. She blinked slowly, her blank stare becoming more fixated on the open portion of the door that was blocked by Varlen's back. Again, she made a small sound of curiosity, leaning forward in anticipation.
