Pixel_Trade Asylum 4
It's yet another epic episode in the lives of the Pixel_Trade Asylum patients!
We begin with a not so subtle reminder that Katu is pregnant. Apparently, pregnant Katu = hungry Katu! Look at her suck that food down!
Next up is Cali who has recovered from her bout with botulism...but has not learned her lesson it seems!
It had been long enough since Jethro's death so they got a new bird. Meet Samantha!
Rilla is thrilled to be a daddy! Katu's not sure she likes it when people talk to her belly...
...and she certainly does not like the way people keep trying to touch her belly!
In fact, she keeps having nightmare about stragers coming up to her and trying to touch her belly...and rip her baby out of its cozy nest so they can implant alien spawn in its place!
Katu, sweetie, I know being pregnant is exhausting, but breathing in food is bad for the little one.
It's okay, hun...you're pregnant...that's like having a "get out of jail free" card!
...and the prize for first aspiration failure animation goes to....Rilla?
Katu-pop!
Welcome to the asylum's nightly outdoor gabfest, featuring Nett, Heather, & Selzi. Guest appearance by the ghost of Azzy!
Katu, I don't think eating rotten mac'n'cheese is good for the baby.
Inhaling the rotten mac'n'cheese is definitely bad for the baby!
Nett...I hope that's mayonnaise on your face...
It's time for baby! (Rilla is, of course, at work!)
so, I'm awful at naming babies. This time I picked the only male-related name I knew of that was attached to brilliantcat or katu_sims.
World, meet baby Gashi!
Hello, creepy old man that was walking by and just had to come in to perv on the new baby. My gosh, he's not even an hour old...go perv somewhere else!
Yes, this is how Gashi's life is fated to go!
Lidea put in her first ghostly appearance, crying because Rilla's baby should have been hers.
Rilla wuvs her widdle Gashi, yes she does!
Okay, I can deal with you leaving him on the floor all the time instead of in the swing, the danglemaster, or the crib...but come one, Katu, this is just taking it too far! You're lucky I have the No Social Worker hack in my game!
Despite the fact that Katu is the one she's pissed at, Lidea decides to scare the bejeebers out of Selzi instead! Perhaps she's afraid that if she scares Katu the baby will be injured.
Cali & Selzi sitting in a tree...
Yes, well, that's what happens when you eat out of the trash can!
Death comes for Cali. Rilla begs and pleads, but Death refuses to play her game.
R.I.P. Cali
We shall miss your spoiled food consumption and your constant burning thought bubbles directed at Rilla!
Realizing that nothing can save her sweet Cali, Nett enacts the suicide pact they had made when they first fell in love. Rilla pleads for her life, but the Reaper will no longer be cheated out of his souls!
R.I.P. Nett
The asylum will never be the same with its Nettness gone!
We interrupt this death-party to bring you Gashi...throwing a tantrum!
I had to include this because, even though she's dying...and even though she's wearing that hideous bathrobe...pretty Selzi is still pretty!
This time the Angel of Death doesn't even respond to Rilla's pleas!
R.I.P. Selzi
The loss of your beauty will make this asylum a much drearier place.
Then it was Heather's turn. This time Rilla grabbed hold of Zane the Reaper and refused to let go until he negotiated with her. Heather was spared...but the price was steep.
To make matter worse, not ten minutes after Death had left Azzy's ghost so terrifies Heather that she dies again. This time nothing can stop Death from collecting her soul.
R.I.P. Heather
You were the best behaved of them all!
And, as if in a defiant thumbing of the nose towards Death, Gashi transitions to the next stage of his life...toddlerhood!
