Personification Life - IC Part 7.5 [open]

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Um, hello Mister Neil," greeted Giovenith. "Been a while, eh? Listen, uh... Yuri here was kind of killed by a radioactive teddy bear, and... we kind of need her alive again. Sooooo..."

"Sounds like fun. Scarface, prepare the lab." Neil ordered his minion. Scarface walked towards the lab with the corpse, his footsteps shook the floor.

"Lucky for us, then!", Torii giggled. "Hello, Neil. We were hoping that you could help us reanimate a corpse, sir. It's important."

"It will be my pleasure." Neil said.

"We have this under control Torii; You can leave if you need to!" Jacob called after her. He then turned to Neil. "Gio, is right. It would be for the best to save Yuri, since she is the personification of Urran after all."

"So, this dead girl is important to the state of a nation?" Neil asked with a devious grin. "Oh this will be fun." Gretta said stepping away from the fireplace.

[Cerillium]

"Delivery," the figure repeated in a toneless voice that made it hard to distinguish gender. He was wearing a fedora and trenchcoat, and holding a plastic-wrapped bonsai tree in a pot.
Klaus shrugged and opened the door.

The trenchcoat-fedora man presented him with the tree.

"You appear to be someone of refinement; please to accept this small gift from my employers. They had heard you like nature..."

Klaus liked setting fire to nature. He studied the tree in the man's hands. "Who is your employer?"

"He'll be absolutely fine, Child." Ogoti poured lemon-scented liquid into a wooden bowl and offered it to Rylli. "Bran will be here. Start sipping it now. I don't believe in using chemicals and poisons for anesthesia. This will take the pain away completely while leaving you fully awake for the special moment."

He raised his head when he heard Bran and guests arrive outside the bedroom. "I'll fetch him here in just a moment. Let me update him. Sip, sip!"

The liquid would give Rylli a sense of peace as it whisked away her nausea.


"Greetings Bran," Ogoti bowed. "Sit a moment and I'll explain what's going on. Then I'll send you in to your lovely wife."

[New Aksarben]

"Interesting." Albert said, trying to process what he heard. "Well, they did a great job, because until you had told me, I thought you naturally looked like that or something. There are some strange people here at the building after all." Albert then thought of something. "How many people have you met here yet? I think we could both do to learn more about the people who live here, since we might be living here for a long time.

"Ugh. My mother would not be pleased," Ray sighed. "She always wanted me to live close."

"I meant, since we are living here, we might as well get to know the people who live here... Who all have you met, already."

---

"Well, Yuri is the nation. More or less." Jacob said, then guessed he shouldn't have mentioned that, since Neil was crazy.

[Giovenith]

"Well, Yuri is the nation. More or less." Jacob said, then guessed he shouldn't have mentioned that, since Neil was crazy.

"Arrrrre, you slightly worried too?" Giovenith whispered to Jacob.

--

Pippa-Michelle was rotating her head, looking all over the place, when she caught wind of Rylli's name and listened with concern. Oh no, would Girl Breakfast Fleshy be okay?

[The BranRiech]

Smiling gratefully, Rylli raised the bowl to her lips and tilted it back, allowing the liquid to bring her peace as she already started feeling more relaxed. Her headache disappeared and she didn't feel like puking anymore. "Thank you." She dipped her head as she finished.

--

"What is it? Is my Amaryllis alright? My son?" Bran asked, hyperventilating as every little scary scenario played out in his head. He took a seat and looked to his friends (Yes, Pippa counts as a friend) for mental support as he then focused on Ogoti.

[Erucia]

"I meant, since we are living here, we might as well get to know the people who live here... Who all have you met, already."

"Ugh. Do we have to? I just want to lay here all day and talk about our problems," Ray teased sarcastically. "But if we are going to, we both do need showers."

[New Aksarben]

"Well, Yuri is the nation. More or less." Jacob said, then guessed he shouldn't have mentioned that, since Neil was crazy.

"Arrrrre, you slightly worried too?" Giovenith whispered to Jacob.

"I am starting to be...... We have no idea what they are going to do once they revive Yuri..... If they revive Yuri that is." Jacob whispered back, looking a bit nervous.

---

"We don't have to go right now..... We could have some more.... fun.... before we get up to take a shower..." Albert said, giving a slight smirk and blushing bright red. He kissed Ray on the nose, and continued running his finger's through Ray's fur, easily being able to do both since he was laying on top of Ray.

[Giovenith]

"Arrrrre, you slightly worried too?" Giovenith whispered to Jacob.

"I am starting to be...... We have no idea what they are going to do once they revive Yuri..... If they revive Yuri that is." Jacob whispered back, looking a bit nervous.

"Oh they'll revive her, that's for sure," explained Giovenith. "Every other little detail in this scenario? Unknown. I'd just go ahead and play the music from 'Halloween' right about now."

"What is it? Is my Amaryllis alright? My son?" Bran asked, hyperventilating as every little scary scenario played out in his head. He took a seat and looked to his friends (Yes, Pippa counts as a friend) for mental support as he then focused on Ogoti.

Pippa-Michelle put a hand on his shoulder.

"New study shows that cookies may prevent cancer," she said soothingly.

[Cerillium]

Ogoti studied the golem. "Very clever. You have a creative master," he said and then offered Torii a bow in greeting. "Welcome, Torii."

He sat down across from Bran. "Rylli's overdue. I thought perhaps you'd decided on a modern hospital and had the baby there but a quick check of the building told me she was still expecting. Her nausea worries me a little. Instead of inducing labor and possibly harming the baby, I think it's best if we used a bit of magic to bring him into the omniverse. It won't have any lasting effect on the child or your wife. She's calm at the moment, and very comfortable. You can go in there and visit with her. Your guests as well, although that room will get crowded once I start working. When it's time to deliver, your golem and companion need to stick to the walls so we can work."

His face and voice reflected the humble confidence he felt.

[Tiltjuice]

"Wait!", Katya said, hopping up. "Before you go...can we go out in the hall real quick? I want some privacy again....."

"The cackling man at the piano shouldn't be anything to worry about," Dora said, blasé, but went out nonetheless.

[Erucia]

"We don't have to go right now..... We could have some more.... fun.... before we get up to take a shower..." Albert said, giving a slight smirk and blushing bright red. He kissed Ray on the nose, and continued running his finger's through Ray's fur, easily being able to do both since he was laying on top of Ray.

"Meep!", Ray finally said for once and blushed heavily, not entirely expecting a distraction to come up. "...I-I might like that. D-Do you feel alright with that?"

[New Aksarben]

"We don't have to go right now..... We could have some more.... fun.... before we get up to take a shower..." Albert said, giving a slight smirk and blushing bright red. He kissed Ray on the nose, and continued running his finger's through Ray's fur, easily being able to do both since he was laying on top of Ray.

"Meep!", Ray finally said for once and blushed heavily, not entirely expecting a distraction to come up. "...I-I might like that. D-Do you feel alright with that?"

Albert nodded vigorously, and kissed Ray again. "Why wouldn't I?" He asked, giggling a bit.

"I heard that!" Octavian called over, continuing to play the piano, but now moving to other songs, mostly by Beethoven. "I'm only laughing because my plan to get revenge on Yuri worked perfectly!"

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

"Well, Yuri is the nation. More or less." Jacob said, then guessed he shouldn't have mentioned that, since Neil was crazy.

"To the lab! Oh and would one of you be a lamb and watch the children?" Gretta asked as she and Neil donned their lab coats.

"They are not allowed in the lab since they were buying Girl Scout cookies." Neil said as he pressed a button under the piano that moved the fireplace, reveling their lab.

[Tiltjuice]

The trenchcoat-fedora man presented him with the tree.

"You appear to be someone of refinement; please to accept this small gift from my employers. They had heard you like nature..."

Klaus liked setting fire to nature. He studied the tree in the man's hands. "Who is your employer?"

"Allspice General Trading," the figure said, offering Klaus the tree again. "A small firm - " here he was taking some creative licence with 'small' " - but very capable at finding things."

[The BranRiech]

"Whatever works best, go for it. I trust you as Swith's brother, more than anyone else. I know you know what you're doing." Bran said and fidgeted a bit. "I can see her now?" He asked, looking to the door with hurried anticipation. "Just . . . I don't know, this is all so fast and confusing, I really appreciate your doing this."

[New Aksarben]

"Well, Yuri is the nation. More or less." Jacob said, then guessed he shouldn't have mentioned that, since Neil was crazy.

"To the lab! Oh and would one of you be a lamb and watch the children?" Gretta asked as she and Neil donned their lab coats.

"They are not allowed in the lab since they were buying Girl Scout cookies." Neil said as he pressed a button under the piano that moved the fireplace, reveling their lab.

"What is wrong with buying Girl Scout cookies? Cookies are very good...." Jacob asked, scratching his head, and wondering why they would ground their kids for that.

[Erucia]

Albert nodded vigorously, and kissed Ray again. "Why wouldn't I?" He asked, giggling a bit.

Ray's blush only continued to intensify into a red hue, his eyes dilating into a relaxed tone. "Well, you are my Kitty...", Ray whispered almost in a light moan and wrapped his arms around Albert's back...

[Giovenith]

"To the lab! Oh and would one of you be a lamb and watch the children?" Gretta asked as she and Neil donned their lab coats.

"They are not allowed in the lab since they were buying Girl Scout cookies." Neil said as he pressed a button under the piano that moved the fireplace, reveling their lab.

"What is wrong with buying Girl Scout cookies? Cookies are very good...." Jacob asked, scratching his head, and wondering why they would ground their kids for that.

"It's a long, long... long story," said Giovenith with a sense of finality.

[Cerillium]

Klaus liked setting fire to nature. He studied the tree in the man's hands. "Who is your employer?"

"Allspice General Trading," the figure said, offering Klaus the tree again. "A small firm - " here he was taking some creative licence with 'small' " - but very capable at finding things."

Klaus shrugged and took the tree from the man. He felt a bit silly holding an object that represented so much about Japan. His leather gloves gripped the pot. Something was missing.

"Have a jar of spaghetti sauce on you?"

---

Ogoti gestured to the bedroom where Rylli was resting. "By all means. She'll be happy to have visitors, I'm sure. It's a shame Swith couldn't be here. She'll get over it."

He let them step into the room while he gathered up some things.

[Torsiedelle]

"Wait!", Katya said, hopping up. "Before you go...can we go out in the hall real quick? I want some privacy again....."

"The cackling man at the piano shouldn't be anything to worry about," Dora said, blasé, but went out nonetheless.

""No, but the person at the piano is.", Katya said, low enough so that only her and Dora would hear. She led Dora out where nobody would see, then turned to face her. "There's one thing I have to get off my chest, first....okay? So, please don't be upset."

....

"I wanna see how Rylli is doing, too!", Torii said.

[The BranRiech]

Bran nodded and smiled, entering the room where Rylli was resting.

The woman felt a gentle and familiar hand on her shoulder, she looked up and spotted the soft face of her husband. She sighed in relief as she noticed him with Pippa and Torii.

"Hey, guys." She smiled lazily.

"Dorogoy, you are so very lovely." Bran teared up and let a few drop on her forehead. Tears of joy. "You're going to do fine, we're going to be a full family now." He said.

[Giovenith]

"Family time is savings time!" said Pippa-Michelle happily, nodding her head in agreement with Bran's statement. She could tell they were very emotionally intense about this, and figured that with one of the powerful people helping them, they would get what they wanted safely.

[Torsiedelle]

"Hi, Rylli.", Torii waved. "How are you? Is everything alright?"

She looked down at the woman who she considered a mother, and smiled warmly. She giggled at Pipa Michelle.

[Tiltjuice]

The figure pulled out a tiny notebook and a bird's quill and scribbled something on it. A jar of spaghetti sauce appeared in midair, and he caught it and handed it to Klaus.

"Sure, go ahead," Dora drawled.

[The BranRiech]

"Hey, Torii." Rylli smiled. "I'm fine so far, it's looking to stay like that."
