When we last left the Iridescences, Harmony discovered some devastating news about the mental instability of children who have the genes of both a lycanthrope and a fae. Her first two children, Magic and Temperance - who were human and lyncanthrope, respectively - we thankfully unaffected, but after the birth of the twins, Royal and Dignity, it became clear that Dignity was born with both genes and, quite possibly, the devastating affliction that came with it. Temperance, who could sense something terrible in that child, tried to get Magic on her 'side' in case the twins ever decided to gang up on them one day, but Magic, being a normal, well adjusted boy, declined her offer and suggested that she was just being paranoid.
We start 5.4 with Dignity and her damn IF, who decided to age up when she did and force me to include it's presence in the plot line, lol.
Mab: You have rescued me from my cursed prison, oh blessed one! I am Mab, Queen of the Fae; I was cursed into this state eons ago by a wicked witch with hair as yellow as the sun, and it was foretold that one day someone of my noble lineage would release me and help me reclaim my rightful position on the throne, and alas, that day has finally arrived!
Dignity: Wait a minute. Explain to me the part where I actually let you reclaim a crown that I could, feasibly, just take for myself if I'm of royal blood.
Mab: [drops the act] Hell, kid; you're ambitious - but I guess I can respect that. I was lying out my ass anyway; I really was cursed into this state, but it was by my bitch of a sister who got the drop on me and stole my crown. Right now I'm looking to break completely out of this ugly shell and dish out some payback. If you help me, I'll give you the eastern kingdom to rule; it's right on the beach and has a pretty sweet view.
Dignity: See, now that sounds more logical. I'm in, but if you try to back stab me, I will have to get violent.
Mab: Kid, you're like twelve and I'm a thousand and eight; simmer down before you hurt yourself. Oh and FYI, the only reason I was released wasn't because you're of my bloodline - it's because you're a mutt. Back in my day, no one ever thought a Fae would stoop so low as to bone a lycanthrope but hey, guess times change. Don't let your affliction get you down though, honey; nobody's perfect.
Dignity: Do you want me to push you down the stairs? Because it's getting to that point. Again, I'll remind you that I could easily kill your sister myself and rule the entire kingdom in your place.
Mab: You'd never be able to find it without me; it's not exactly on a map. So, shall we?
Dignity: ...Fine.
Something tells me this power struggle is going to turn into an all out war once they both don't need each other. But, hey, maybe they could actually grow to be friends? But don't hold your breath.
Dignity: You.
Royal: ...Me?
Dignity: What did I tell you about the TV? I want you in front of that thing all day, every day until your brain dribbles out your ears and you become my brainless minion!
Royal: But... but there's nothing good on.
Dignity: GO!
Royal: ...What are these naked people doing to each other?
Dignity: I don't know and I don't care. Just shut up and watch it; I'll be back in an hour to check on you.
This poor kid :/ If he doesn't grow a backbone when he gets older, trailing behind in his abusive sister's shadow might be all his life amounts to.
I'm not quite sure what's happening here, but hopefully it will sort itself out.
Anyway, back to the (mostly) well adjusted child of this family. Magic has really taken a liking to guitar - although with a LTW to become a rock star, that probably isn't a surprise - and spends most of his free time preforming on the streets for tips.
Topher: Oh! WHAT'S THIS?
Topher: I AM FINALLY 100% MAN. GOOD, YES, MOST EXCELLENT.
This asshole doesn't have any wrinkles either. I swear, only the women in my legacy get them once they reach full adulthood. Anyway, apparently the first thing one does when they become 100% man is take a shower.
Topher: ...Wait.
Topher: DA FUCK?!
Topher: And that, my dear Temperance, is the story of how I had to restrain myself from killing your baby sister.
Temperance: Tell it again, Daddy, but this time make sure Dignity dies.
Topher: ...Um, maybe tomorrow night, dear.
Anyway, remember Magic's little friend Gwen? Well she grew up too and they're still BFFs.
Gwen: Thanks for meeting me, Johnny was being a fucking pig and I'm just sick of looking at his face. I swear, I pick the worst people to sleep with.
Magic: Girl, have I got the thing for you. Idk if you decided to pick a lane yet or if you're still living with me on the fence, but there's this crazy hot chick who bartends here at night; she might be into you.
Magic: ...I swear to God I didn't mean her.
Suuuuure.
Regardless of the 'hot bartender' being off duty that night, the two kids still had some fun together ^_^
That same night, Dignity experienced her very first werewolf change.
And went on the hunt for a rainbow gem to make Mab a real faerie again.
Dignity: Beast mode: activated.
Mab: You find it yet?
Dignity: FFS WOMAN, I ONLY JUST STARTED LOOKING.
Mab: Yeah well, actually I have a better idea. You see, the double rabbit hole nightmare in this town is going to prevent you from picking up the potion anyway, so I just figured screw that and instead you should probably just figure out how to make the potion yourself. I mean, can't be too hard, right?
Dignity: God why don't you just say these things in the first place? It's like your IQ is lower than my age.
Mab: Watch it, you hairy monkey.
What a joy those two are. In a way though, they're both such bitches that I feel like they're suited, lol. It's like karma made them each other's punishment.
Temperance: Look, I'm concerned about you, which is kind of weird since I generally hate anything that breathes. But Dignity is not good for you, and if you continue to follow her around like a puppy, she will drag you down into the pits of hell.
Royal: But... no, she's my twin and she loves me. She told me all of this conditioning is for my own good.
Temperance: OH MY GOD, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTT. JUST STOP HANGING OUT WITH HER, OKAY, I MEAN IT!
Royal: But then she might kill me... for my own good. I don't want to die for my own good, Tempy.
Temperance: WOW, CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING UTTERLY USELESS. GOLD STAR FOR YOU.
Really, if this kid wants any kind of a normal life, he might have to run away for his own good.
Oh, what's this? Living up to the stereotype of your dream job and being a little ladies man, eh?
Magic: Damn. You're really attractive.
Veronica: [giggles] Wow that's really sweet of you to say-
Veronica: -Mmph!
I guess that's one way to get a date?
Birthday sparklesssss!
Temperance rolled grumpy. What a shocker. Also, her LTW is to be a Blog Artist, although with quite a handful of negative traits, idk how well that one's gonna work out, lol.
Meanwhile...
Mab: You make it yet?
Dignity: Oh my God, crawl out of my butt for a second, will you? My skill level is like, three. This is going to take some time, so sit down and shut up.
Mab: You know, I bet if you had some pure faerie blood it would speed the process along. I mean, it just figures that that would be one of the ingredients right; what with trying to turn me back into one and all.
Great. That just seems... great.
Dignity: Hey bro, I've got a secret for you: your time of glory has come, so I'm gonna need you to hold still while I take some of your blood.
Royal: W-What? No, you can't-!
Dignity: HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME! I am your queen, and if I say I need your blood, then you're going to give it to me! ...Mostly because the only other pure fairy I know is mom, and I think she'd get mad if I tried to take some of hers. SO JUST DO WHAT I SAY.
Royal: Okay, okay; just don't hurt me!
Dignity: Glad you saw things my way. Now, lets go find a needle to prick that finger of yours with.
Royal: You mean you're not... going to cut me?
Dignity: What? No, you idiot. Can you even imagine how pissed dad would get if I did that? Have some sense.
Thank goodness for small favors.
God, Magic is utterly useless when it comes to pranking, lol.
Magic: Who knew eggs could just break in your hand?
Magic: AHA! SUCCESS!
Magic: Oh shit. Retreat, retreat!
Anyway, as there were now two teenagers in the house, I let the parents take that special little vacation that always pops up because hey, what good is a legacy generation without some ill-advised teenage party?
Temperance, who is basically glued to her damn phone anyway, was in charge of sending out the invitations.
Oh btw, her first blog was named Living With A Demon: God I Hate My Sister, and her first entry, The Bitch Bullies Her Twin, got 11 likes. I don't think this level of obsession is healthy, but alas, who I am to tell her no?
Temperance: Alright look, Magic and I are having a party, and since you apparently have no backbone, I need to make sure you're not gonna tell mom and dad when they get home.
Royal: Omg, can't you see I'm trying to watch TV so my brain dribbles out my ears? Stop interrupting me.
Temperance: Well excuse me for trying to have a conversation. Damn.
Within the hour, the party was in full swing.
Steven: Hello, my name is Steven. Thank you for inviting me into your lovely home.
Temperance: Omg r u really talking to me you're like so attractive goddamn my ovaries are exploding wow.
Magic: You!
Magic: You're a beautiful specimen of man, has anyone ever told you that? Because if not I am right now.
Toby: Well, aren't you the charmer.
Yes, yes he is.
Although it looks like Magic's not the only getting some action tonight. Four for you, Tempy, you go Tempy.
Gwen: Duuuuude. I heard you were totally macking on Toby earlier.
Magic: Uh, well yeah-
Gwen: That is totally awesome, man!
Magic: Man, you're the coolest friend ever.
Generally, it was a good time all around. And one that didn't get interrupted by the cops! What are the chances? lol.
Meanwhile...
Dignity: Literal wtf.
Mab: Hello, my name is Mab and I may have been wrong when I said to put faerie blood in the potion. Whoops? [snickers]
Dignity: ...I hate you.
The next morning, Temperance implored to her mother about the situation with the twins.
Temperance: Look I'm not saying you're a bad mom, but you're like... totally unaware that your youngest daughter is an abusive asshole to her twin. Maybe you should fix that.
Harmony: Oh honey, I'm sure you're just exaggerating. I know the risks associated with her condition, but so far she seems to be like a well-adjusted young lady.
Temperance: Are you... are you blind?!
She might just be.
Harmony: Tempy told me Dignity is being abusive to Royal. I know she's prone to mental instability, but certainly she can't be that awful, right? Have you seen her do anything?
Topher: No, but maybe you should have a talk with her just in case. We both knew the day might come where we have to lock her up; but maybe if we get ahead of this, we can convince her to change her ways before we're forced to do anything drastic.
Harmony: Honey, I've been hearing some... disturbing rumors about you, lately; and I would like to believe they're false, but as your mother I'm bound to worry that they're not. So if you could just make an extra effort to be nice to people...
Dignity: OMG MOM. I am hurt, hurt that you would ever assume that I am anything other than your little angel. GOD, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST TRUST ME?!!
Harmony: I'm... sorry, dear. I didn't mean to upset you.
Dignity: Damn right you didn't, now get out of my sight.
And so Harmony left to go train Storm, who grew up and is P E R F E C T btw, aw.
Dignity: And then she assumes that I'm, what, some kind of demon or something? Rude. I didn't- DON'T INTERRUPT ME. God, you're just as bad as she is!
Magic: Uh... that's a fridge. I don't think it can talk back to you.
Dignity: Who asked you?!!
Topher: Oy vey, this family.
Same, dude. Same.
I honestly have no idea why I only have a picture of her birthday sparkles. I actually played this like months ago and am just now getting around to making an entry for it. Whoops. Which btw, looking at 100+ pictures and trying to figure out what story you were attempting to tell months later is hella difficult, lol.
Well, aren't they super attractive. Royal rolled kleptomaniac and wants to be a Master Mixologist, while Dignity rolled Mooch and wants to be Living In The Lap of Luxury.
