case 025

[Apollo's definitely grown used to sleeping alone, and sleeping deeply. It means that he doesn't notice the little kid crawling onto his bed, or the warm body next to him which he begins to lean into, an arm already looped loosely around her shoulders. It's all very peaceful and cute

[and Trucy is blissfully unaware, because she sleeps like a rock man

when the kid jumps onto Apollo, though, she does notice... but it's all white noise to her, in her fog of sleepiness, so all she does is groan a little and shift some, ignoring whatever interruptions may come in favor of sleep]

[justastic]

...what kind?

[WHIPPED ALREADY. He doesn't even want to think about what Mister Wright will say. He just sighs and heads towards the little kitchenette he stuck in his room.]

Um...blueberry?

[magicpanties]

Definitely blueberry!

I think I like you, Helena. [which is... good... since she's her kid and all]

[justastic]

[Only Trucy. Apollo gits into the kitchen to let Trucy and her new kid ~bond~ and get his head around all this.]

Blueberry it is. [pause. TRUCY'S CRASHED HIS APARTMENT ENOUGH TIMES BY NOW TO GET IT] And orange juice, right?

[magicpanties]

You got it!

Me too! Me too!

[and Trucy laughs... dis kid is the coolest kid ever

now only if she knew magic]

[justastic]

[You know what you're doing for the next week, Trucy! Apollo gets to work, giving a little smile of his own. Didn't seem so bad...even if he had no idea what was going on. He'd be more skeptical if the kid didn't look exactly like them.

Which was also weird, now he thought of it. He and Trucy sure looked alike, too.]

[magicpanties]

[yeah, Trucy's just sitting down with her new dauder, grilling the poor girl...

"Do you like magic?" "Yes!" "Who's your favorite magician?" "You are mommy!" etc. etc.]

[justastic]

[Definitely Trucy's kid. He leans sideways to look at them, pouring the pancake mix in.]

If this is anything like the other castle things, we've got, um...Helena? For a week or so.

You'd better get her dressed.

[magicpanties]

What?! What do you mean, we've got her for a week?

[justastic]

That's how long these things usually last. [Totally getting puppydog eyes from Helena now.] Urk! N-not that we don't want you!

[magicpanties]

And you're just going to accept that? This is your daughter, Polly!

[giving a look somewhere between stern and those same puppy dog eyes]

[justastic]

Wh-what do you want me to do? I can't fight the castle!

[magicpanties]

Sure you can!

[justastic]

How?

[magicpanties]

You're the attorney. Think of something.

[justastic]

Legal training didn't exactly prepare me to think of ways to get around a gigantic, all-powerful sentient castle to save our theoretical child.

[...Helena looks completely lost.] Daddy's using big words again.
