The Starbloom Travecy - Generation 5.9!
Hiiii! It's the Narrator! (Raelynn) TigerAnne's busy with something else, so I'mma do the intro myself!
Aylatani and Phil are undercover in a hospital to find Aylatani's orginal face. Virginia is with them to steal medicine to take back to the past and save Imogen. They all use fake names. Back home Aamilei has discovered that Billy Trevannion, that guy with one eye, is her fatalistically intended love interest.
It was summer vaycay and the girls went to the camp because Aami wanted to see Billy again. You know, kind of with not parents around, and stuff.
This campsite is super boring. I'm gonna build another one for them because now I knoe better. It's gonna be an awesome one, like the one the Scheilers go to.
sammyfrog's Kevin's not there to serial kill the campers. He's nice in this reality.
Aamilei cut her finger. :(
Carlisle: You can be so glad I'm a vegetarian. If my son Jasper had been here, he's not!
Aami: Jasper is your son? He said his father was legless and that his mom was a widow.
Carlisle: LOLWUT? Jasper is weird, he was kidnapped by pirates when he was a baby and had to get used to civilisation again. Don't judge him.
Maikana met up with them to reconnect and spread the good messages of the Temple of the Secret Enigma. Actually, they tore down the silly building it was in to plant a watermelon field in that corner of the lot. A cult is anywhere its memebers are, anyway. They could just use their house for the HQ.
Grace Duckling was there too. Kevin and her are cousins or something in this world.
Aamilei: Maikana, please. This is the first time Billy meets any of my family before, don't make him think we're barbarians.
Maikana: It's gonna be harder to explain your grandpa.
Aami and Andi took sister photos.
Iris and Maikana did too, but Maikana kept them. I guess she needs some pictures of what Iris looks like to show her future kids who's never met her.
Aami loved hanging out with Billy even if it wasn't romantic yet. It felt like she'd known him for ages, and he was very polite and gentlemanly.
Andi hung out with Maikana who didn't like unsweetened lime-soda.
The camp existed outside of their timeline, and there were games for sale in the store. Iris bought a few of them for when they got to the 00s and would have the right kind of gaming platform.
Tickling doesn't count as flirting, because the Human Rights Court lists it as a form of torture, so this wasn't inappropriate romantic interactions.
Billy: No, Aami we mustn't hug yet! You're too young for me to start thinking of you as a physical being, and we've both lived Victorian for most of our lives.
When you go camping you always have to tell ghost stories and urban legends. That's part of the fun.
Is that Ferrett going for a dip in the dark mists? That's definitely Government Sanjay in the middle.
Maikana had kitchen skills so she started making breakfast while Aami practiced degrading housework that women in her new hometime(?) were protesting against. Yeah, I don't really like doing the dishes either, but Dad got furious when he found half a wiener sausage in the dishwasher one time, so now my folks are making us clean everything with a scrub before putting it in.
Maikana: Oh crap.
Billy: I'm pretty sure I've seen you before, when our time-team went to the 1990s.
Iris: Cool, I've always wanted to see the 90s!
Andi: This is Sean. He's my ex boyfriend. I know he looks a lot older than me, but that's because of a time-warp. When I grow up we're going to test if we still have chemistry, and they we'll get married if we do.
Iris got a sad, because Aami and Andi were going to grow up and have husbands, and she wouldn't. And in time she'd be going to school with their kids.
Andi: Psssst? And if Sean and me don't have chemistry, I'll date Stuart.
Sean: Do you have any good stories from the Wasteland that are true, like we've got Diaper Man?
Billy: Yes, we have a lot. But you must never tell the story about the Skull-Faced Lady when you're camping, because then you may see her.
Sean: What does she do?
Billy: First she looks at you all creepy, and then you run away as fast as you can. No one knows what happens if you don't, because no one has never didn't.
Aami and Billy played catch, but it was difficult for Billy, because he was blind on one side and Aami threw the ball very hard.
Aami: I'm sorry, I learned to throw rocks at the Wolferdiggers and Tree-men in our old garden.
They thought maybe they should do something else and then it started raining.
The evil witch had arrived with her Plutonium cat.
Aami: Excuse me, witchy lady? I think your cat's sick.
Radioactive pets come with a lot of special responsibilities, that's why they're not good pets for normal humans.
Maikana got fried. :( It was the witch's fault.
Back home Aami found a stray cat on the porch. It was a normal cat, which would make an excellent pet.
Aami was good with animals and sometimes she could pick up their thoughts. She knew the cat's name was Noodle, so that's what she had to call him even if it was a little silly.
Then she noticed her parents being icky, and she got horrible thoughts in her head about what they might be about to do or have just done.
Now I have horrible thoughts in my head. :(
Aami: Don't mind them. I promise they're not always like that.
Aami: You can stay here if you want. I'd love to have a cat around.
Buck: Ohhhhh T'anamiiiiiiikaaaaaaah....
Täna: Oh Buck....
GET A ROOM!
Noodle was a really smart cat and not too crazy. He was old, but they gave him medicine to age him back to his prime. Phil and Frank made it at the hospital. Frank's a vet, and Phil is a Mad Scientist (not a scientist who's mad, a scientist who does MAD science) so when they worked together they cloud do cread thinks.
I'm not sorry if you think there are too many cat pictures here.
Look, Irish got a tan! She looks great! Kind of Italian, sorta? Greek?
Iris was very happy that Virginia (or Victoria) remembered their friendship. But then....!
D:
Andi: No.
AND THEN HE NEVER CALLED AGAIN!
Jonathan: T'ana, you're not seriously cooking Buffalo wings in the microwave?
T'ana was off to work thinking naughty thoughts about Buck.
Someone should potty-train Noodle. :O
Adana played Bad Cop, although she's not the twin who's really a cop.
Buck and Cindie got promoted. :D
In the 70s it was very in to be into small-time farming, so they got chickens and ducks like they had at their previous place. (Laurelin and those peeps take care of them now.)
Noodle got a glamorous tent to sleep in. He's got a cat house indoors too, but he enjoys sleeping in fresh air. It was summer and all, so it was okay.
Andrina: Stop begging, you've already had breakfast!
Look how happy Noodle looks!
Yeah yeah boring.
Riana: T'ana? I think we have a porn channel. It's scrambled and plays bow-chicka-bow-wow music. Who subscribed to this?
Over at the Swan house, Bella wasa coming down the stairs as usual in the morning.
Bella: Oops.
Bella: *bonk*
Bella: *flop*
Bella: Ow.
Renée: Splendid good morning, sweetheart. How are you today?
Bella: Shaddup, Mom.
Bella was teaching Renée how to use a spoon. She was frustrated with her progress.
Renne: Bella I don't like yellobends. Don't we have strawberry?
Bella: They're bananas Mom, and no.
Charlie: Top o'the mornin' to ya.
Renesmee: I hate you Dad!
Bella: Edward's nut just my buyfriend, Mom. He's my Best Friend Forever and all of Eternity. You wouldn't understand. It was a prophecy, and I fulfilled it.
Bella remembered to put on underpants that morning, as usual by the way, but Renneé forgot.
Renee: LOL I think my hair's grown shorter. Did you cut Mommy's hair while Mommy was sleeping, Darling?
Renessme: Don't be an idiot.
Remée: Does that mean no? You're being a bit vague LOL?!?
Renée: Hi are you our new maid? We don't need a maid LMAO Bella does all the homework! x)
Jen: We've started an excercise group, and wondered if you wanted to join us for walks three days a week.
Renee: LOL do I look fat to you? My daughter only feeds me rabbit food ROFL she say's it's good for my brain????
Renée: You're a traumatised person from that terrible family you need a hug LOL!
Jennifer: Um no thanks.
Bella: NO I'M NOT DEPRESSED I HAVE A BOYFRIEND AND MY HOME LIFE IS VERY HAPPY!
Ettie: I only asked how you were today?
Charlie: Dear diary, I need a drink by I've got an evening shift and I not allowed to drive the police car when I'm drunk. I hope Bella's got time to drive me around, but she's probably going to see her boyfriend again. I'm so tired of hearing about how perfect his family is.
Bella: I don't have time to take Dad anywhere today. My boyfriend's coming over to install a hidden web-cam in my room so he can watch me sleep even if he can't be here. Dad gets so mad when he finds him hanging on the window.
Ettie: Are you sure that's a good idea? What if other people use it to spy on you?
Bella: Only my boyfriend will have the receiver. Did I tell you about my boyfriend? He looks like a Greek statue and I rescued him from the clutches of a terrible Lolita pastel goth with a tiny nose and huge freaky peepers. She smashed me thru a wall in the House of Silent Despair, but it was worth it for our prophecy to come true.
Kaylynn: She would be a very good maid. I mean Bella, not Ettie.
Renee: LOL my head tingles again LMAO, where did more of my hair go?
Charlie: Dear Diary I'm not depressed. I have a beautiful wife and two smart daughters and I love them all very much.
Renée: Bye Jeniffer. Come back next month for my next Tupperware party. I hope your new salad bowls with a bonus juicer will bring you great joy LOL!
Jen: Are you sure you're okay?
Charlie got upset because he didn't want Jen to know that he kept a secret diary. Jen used to be in the police and she was superior to Charlie.
Meanwhile at the hospital:
Aylatani: Doctor Montoya we're out of food!
Dr. Montoya: You can order some more. I'm in the middle of a lot of microscoping!
Aylatani: But Hayden just ordered a bunch yesterday! What did she do with it?
Irene Montoya: I don't know, you never know with Hayden. I'm very busy!
Aylatani: I'm calling on behalf of Lord Have Mercy General Hospital. We need more groceries.
Clerk Kent: But we sent you a large shipment already.
Aylatani: What is there rationing, or something? We've got a lot of patients, I guess they must have been very hungry.
Phil went outside to accept the delivery, and he met another cute cat. He told it where his family lived, and that it could go there and they would take him in. When he's in wolf form he can talk to animals.
Aylatani: Hi Kevin. What are you in for?
Kevin: Shhhhhh, I'm supposed to be my brother Ryan. I'm here to try to get hold of his medical records and see what they say about his brain damage. He thinks his brain is fine, but his wife and kids don't want him to see the file in case it crushes his delusions. So he asked me for a favour, and I was really tired of camping next to a smelly public toilet, so I accepted the challenge.
Phil: Are you going to tell him the truth, no matter how bad it is?
Kevin: I'll decide when I see it.
Look where Hayden put the first groceries.
Phil: You've had burritos earlier! I should really make Mexican some time.
Virginia: You should live with my Mom for a month, Kevin. She'd straighten you out.
The doctors came back home from having treated a mass poisoning.
Jefferson had inhaled some of the gasses.
He could die.
Phil cleared out a break-room no one used and put in greenhouse lights. It was important to retain a steady supply of veggies, so the patients could get vitamins.
Virginia: What are you doing, Tani?
Tani: I'm supposed to be your mother, so I'm snooping through your magz to be sure they're age-appropriate. Don't worry, I trust you. It's just part of the act.
Virginia: Ah, okay. I'll get ready for school now.
Phil had to fill in for Hayden while she was at classes. The doctors still didn't know what mysterious condition he had, so he wasn't allowed to discharge himself, but that suited him well because they still hadn't gained access to the face in the basement. As long as he took chemical baths regularly he was allowed out of isolation.
He should probably make a sentry-bot for the hospital. They need a mecanic station.
Suddenly Charlie came barging in the door carrying Renée.
Charlie: Please someone help us! My wife is unconscious and doesn't respond!
The doctotors put her in the coma department and hooked her up to computers.
Jefferson: This is strange, I cannot get a reading on thought-waves.
Dr. Jillian Haynes - Neurosurgeon: There's got to be some brain activity, she's breathing on her own.
Jefferson: Could just be spinal reflexes, we have to do a scan.
Little Matty: Oh no, Teddy Bear is hurt. He fell off a tall tree! It's going to be okay, Teddy. I'll take you to hospital, I love you so very much!
Bella: Errr, kid..? That's not healthy?
Little Matty: No, Teddy Bear is always very sick, and now he's had a bad accident. I'm taking care of him. Why are you here?
Bella: I think my Mom has finally become brainded.
Outside the silence erupted in a cloud of violent displays of aggression.
It was Kevin and Hayden. They just don't get along.
Bella played school with Matty to get his mind off of all the crazy that was happening. She loved being the smarted person in a room.
Renesmee caught up with the guy she used to believe was her Dad. (Phil) He was sorry about all the violince that had happened when she lived with him. It was mostly Jaxon's fault.
Renesmee: Don't worry, I won't blow your charades.
Speaking of charades: Bella and Renessme get along! They just pretend they don't, for reasons that are not understood.
Payton and the Old Lady somehow settled their score. I think? õ.ô
Little Matty saw Kevin self-medicate from a bottle and get spasmic cramps. He got very upset.
Virginia's real Mom Elvira came to see her. She pretended to have unexplained migraines so she could stay for a while.
Renesmee: Cool, is this Victoria's room?
Bella: Yeah, she's got neat stuff.
You two are not allowed in there plzknthnx.
This was becoming part of the daily routine.
Poor Little Matty, his life was kind of rough. He was so young and there were so many things he didn't understand that he had to deal with.
Payton: Don't be prejudiced against Kevin. I know that werewolves have a bad rep in Victorian media, but only a small minority of them are cannibals. It's a valid choice of lifestyle.
Vickie: Payton, my Dad is literally a werewolf. I don't need this morality lesson.
Payton: Oh no, I'm aiming it at your Aunt Elvira!
Frank: Hey, Matty. Wanna stay up past bedtime and sneak outside? I'll look after you.
Little Matty: Sure.
Frank's kind of cool. I guess Jefferson is too, when he's not at work or passed out on the floor.
Hayden: I'M SO LONELY AND DEPRESSSSSSED!
Poor Hayden. :( Kevin needs to get to reading Ryan's file soon, so her life will be easier when he moves back home. At this point Tallie and company had moved into their ancient new home.
Phil felt awful for her and took her to the new entertainment room to get cheered up. Aylatani redecorated it in her spare time so she wouldn't go crazy.
No one was smart enough to have the guts to play against Jillian, so she had to play against her imaginary twin (named Gillian).
Matty's mom called and said that they had to make sure he wore a jacket whenever he was out of bed, and if she arrived and found him not wearing it........
Kevin had a problem containing all his canine bouncy energy.
Lucky for him they had this agaility course they used for disaster drills. He felt like he was in K9 SAR.
Phil still felt bad about having been an axe murderer, because he messed with the past and created a reality in which he'd been one, so he woved to use his mad science skills for good. He genetically engineered a bunch of plants to be extra nutricious.
His secret experiment flowers were all grown up.
Phil: Ready for Step 2!
Renee was put ready for her brain scan.
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT.
Jillian: She caused the machine to malfunction. Something is very strange here.
Irene: Her reflexes are in order. There must be something blocking her brain signals from being received.
Irene: Her muscle contractions are normal.
Jefferson: Let's tester her fine motor skills.
Reneé: LOL I'm not a mechanic.
Her knees buckled and she missed the shot.
Jillian: Your wife's case is very unusual, but we've researched her symptomes and discovered that there's only one extremely rare disease she can have.
Charlie: So what is it? Surely it's not the Frypp?
Jillian: It's a.... it's....... uh, it's Hair Brain.
They could hear him over at the school.
Charlie: WHAT DOES THAT MEAAAAN?
Jillian: Her hair's been growing inwards into her skull. It's wrapped itself so tightly around her brain that nothing gets out and nothing gets in. We're going to perform a surgical extraction immediately.
Charlie: HOW?
Jillian: We'll pull it out by inserting surgical crocheting hooks in through her nostrils and ears. It's very risky, but it's her only chance of regaining normal cognitive dysfunction.
Jefferson: Aw, maaaan... This is gonna suck!
They started operating.
Jefferson: OMYGOSH this was in her skull!
Jillian: ZOMGoodness RESS PLZ!
Jefferson: Her lumbar nerve has a puls again on the left side.
Jillian: I got something!
Jillian: PULL, JEFFERSON! PULL!
Jefferson: This is even worse than unclogging the bathroom drain!
Jefferson: Oh deer. That's not part of her brain though, is it?
Jillian: No it's just a booger, don't worry. I wish I'd worn gloves.
Jefferson: We got all of it.
Jefferson: Let's apply a bit of hair-removal spray, and I think she's ready to go into recovery.
Charlie thought his wife looked su beautiful in the ICU, all hooked up to tubes and pipes to make her breath.
Dr. Montoya: How you let this happen?! How could you be so irresponsible and not see the symptoms that mush have been going on for YEARS! There was 14 years worth of hair-growth inside her skull!
Charlie: But she's always just been like that?
Irene: Well, don't let it happen again, or you have no wife!
Charlie cried sadly in the homework room.
Eric: I'm on to you, Phil. I've seen you sneak out of the hospital at night, when you're supposed to be unconscious in islotaion. You know what I think? I think you work for the government, and you steak diseases from the hospital and spread them among the population. You're a bio-terrorits and a horrible person who's full of pure evil.
Phil started crying because it hurt to be called evil just so someone can feel mortally superior. Eric was so righteously outraged at the evil conspiracy he'd just imagined that he didn't notice Aylatani was hacking the databases again.
Elvira brought Emilia with her on a time-trip, so she could get vaccinated against cholera and smallpox. Emilia wanted to stay with Virginia for a while and go to future (for her) school.
Elvira: You'll have to wait until you're older, like Victoria (she can't say "Virginia" in front of Frank), because schools in this country teach the dark arts!
Frank knew batter than to ask.
Then he challenged Kevin to a stationary bike race. You gotta make your own fun.
Renee woke up and insisted on discharging herself. Charlie looked to Dr. Jillian for help, but she said Renee was a free woman and no one could confine her against her will.
Having an extra werewolf with insomnia was very handy.
Whooo, that's a pretty cool job!
Poor Irene worked too hard that day. They needed more staff.
Little Matty's sister, Heather, had snuck into the empty lobby and was searching what room he was in. No one had taught her computers, but kids are good with stuff like that.
Virginia watched Dallas with her Mom and felt like a modern teenager (for 50 years ago).
Heather: Hi Matty!
Matty: What are you doing? Is Mom here?
Heather: No, Mom went home. She just dropped me off. I'm supposed to be a kid with allergies or something, and pretend I don't know you, so I could stay here and see how you were. Mom says Dr Jefferson and that nurse-bloke are lying and don't know what they're talking about.
Matty: I'm fine, I haven't felt super sleepy for weeks. So I guess I can go home now.
Heather: Oh no, you can't come home!
Matty: Why not?
Heather: Mom says you can't.
Matty: But why does she say that?
Heather: Because they haven't found anything wrong with you. If you come home before they find something you'll die.
Matty: I'm going to sneak out. Wanna come?
Heather: No, it's bedtime!
Heather found a bed and slipped her fake journal into the slot on the foot end. Then she bunked down for the night.
Meanwhile Phil was using every inch of spare room to his advantage.
That's all for tonite, but it's alllllmost a weekend, and then I'll write you another update! TTFN and Narrator out!
