Bright Star Children's Home (Open, Just For Fun)
No cutting. No biting. No cutting. No biting. Two rules. Two methods of self-defense ruled away. He contemplated this over in his mind as he spat out the toothpaste, rinsing his mouth clean. No cutting. No biting. No cutting. No biting. Two. Two of them. No cutting. No biting. No cutting. No biting.
But he liked them.

He wouldn't have need for them, though.
He would not be attacked here. That was...good. He felt...relieved. Maybe he wouldn't need to defend himself. He would need to keep his sister safe from harm, though--he saw the way other people looked at him and her.
He would bite and cut. Just for her. To keep her safe.

Apologize? Apologize to...Virelai?
Devin tilted his head to the side, his eyes glazed over lazily, a lopsided smile appearing on his face as he looked over at Virelai, still leaning against the wall, cringing at the sight of him.
She seemed familiar. And yet he knew he had never set eyes on her before. How could he have bitten her if he didn't know she existed before now?
He had hurt her, Essex said.
A small amount of pride was crushed inside of him.
Pain.
Hurt.
He had hurt her.

But he never laid a single hand on

"I'm sorry, Virelai. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you all right?" Devin spoke in an oddly even voice, his face flickering with sympathy.
Virelai hesitated, biting her lower lip, then nodded slowly. "I'm...I'm fine. Thank you...for apologizing. Who...who are you?"
"My name is Devin. Devin Connor O'Reilly. It is a pleasure to meet you." He scooted himself off the counter and onto the ground, grabbing his doll to cling into his arms, cradling it like a baby.
Virelai only smiled in return, planting her thumb back in her mouth to suck on it.
Neither of the two did anything more while Essex lead them back to the table.
Physically, at least.

((Oh! Happy birthday, Halo!))
((I am now signing a petition, to make him less scary... Whadya mean it isn't possible!? What do you MEAN he has a 'too-scary-to-mess-with' tag?!
In other words, holy hell, stay the heck away from me, Devin. That is all.))
((Happy Birthday Halo!
And Experiment, you better hope that plastic armor of yours is strong. :P))
Essex sat the two kids down at the table, passing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to Virelai and a turkey and cheese sandwich to Devin. Rosalind was in her seat next to Ghoul, and had bitten a mask out of her little circle of turkey, mashing the slice of lunchmeat onto her face.
"Hey, Ghoul!" she whispered. "Lookit me, I'm Mister Archlich! BLARG. MY EYES GLOW WHEN I'M CRANKY. BLARG."
Nessie ate her PBJ quietly with her right hand only, her gaze flickering to the new children behind her thick spectacles. Cobalt, Toy, and Ani in particular interested her, but she was wary. Her huge robotic claw of a left arm hung down beside the chair, the spikelike fingers dangling effortlessly.
Japancakes.

Experiment jumped into a chair, clinging to the table to raise himself up further. He sat, his eyes barely looking over the edge. "So... What are we eating, MISS ESSEX?" he asked, pronouncing the last part loudly for Shiro to hear.
Kaos took a seat as well. His henchmen scooted next to him. One of his spec ops kept an eye on the strange Devin.
Radeator flew over and sat down as well. "You can give me cold food Miss Essex, I'll heat it up for you."
After seeing which chair Virelai had taken and the one she was saving for her, Stella took Naga to the next chair over dropped her off.
"Ok, squidy-back done. Lunch time! I can take you for another ride after though if you want." The khedlian child chirped. The scream from Vee and the activity around the new, freaky, boy distracted her and before she knew what was going on, it was over.
Popping back into human, Stella flitted over to Vee and looked at her in concern. "You ok? Want me to beat him up?"
Ani harumphed at the childish displays of Burning and Devin. After thumping Ruby and Onyx for thinking with stomaches they didn't even have in the first place, the red-head dropped into a chiar, her toy bots sulking behind her. Seeing Nessie's look, Ani smiled slightly and gave a small wave before picking up her sandwhich.

((Happy birthday, Halo.
Devin: [hugs you all] ^_^ ))
Virelai sniffled once again as she slid into the chair next to Stella, shaking her head. "I...appreciate the offer, but he's already apologized. If he does so again, though...sure, you can go right ahead." She looked over her shoulder at Devin. He was munching into the sandwich wildly, taking gigantic bites, chewing only a few times, then swallowing quite speedily--he was eating at a record pace, choking a few times, but quickly swallowing back. He was matching the Spec Ops gaze with his own eyes, steadily glaring over, never getting rid of the optic lock. Virelai frowned. "...I don't like him, though. There's...something about him."
((I'm going to have nightmares ;_;
And Happy Birthday, Halo! ))

Static coughed. Suddenly he vomited and turend bakc to normal. "Blightlord you scum!" Then he looked at his watch.
"I'll get you next twime!" His parents arrived to pick him up. The same for Dr. Kaos and Radeator.
((Leaving? Just when did you arrive anyway?))
Naga took one look at the food which Essex had laid out on the plate before her. Taking it in one hand, she opened her mouth far wider than any human could, swallowed it in a single gulp, then looked at Essex as if expecting more.
Feliks, who had been sitting quietly for most of the time leaned and pointed across the table to Naga. He finger shaking up and down as he searched for the words.
"Woah! That was... weird! How did you ...do ...that?"
He the quickly recovered his composure and leaned back in the chair; though he continued to eye the reptile girl carefully.
Naga merely smiled at Feliks with a smile which went practically from ear to ear, containing top and bottom rows of sharp little white teeth.
A quiet scratching and a muffled bark sounded at the door, before it was nudged open, and a wolf padded in. He looked around, and made himself heared mentally to Essex.
::Excuse me, Madame, but perhaps you can do something with this...::
He dropped a small bubble and a giggle sounded from it as it bounced to her left foot. The bubble was about three inches in diameter, and iridescant, like a soap bubble, but only slightly translucent.
::Her name is Magdalene. We would appreciate it if you could get through to her where we have failed. Adieu, my Lady.::
With that, he shifted to a small dragon with shimmering rainbow scales and flew out the door. Again a tiny giggle came from the bubble, the sound was young, and mixed in with the laughter was the sound of tiny bells chiming. The bubble floated up about four feet, and the giggling voice asked,
"Be he gone? This game were fun when begun, but grows boring."

Sienna stuck two fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly to get Nagas attention then she used her repel field to launch a sandwich to Naga.
When she heard a tiny giggle and familiar bells, she immediately took flight to go investigate the newly arrived bubble.
Sienna shrank to be about the same size as the bubble, as she landed in a shower of sparkles next to it.
She leaned in real close to try to see in it but was unable to so she made faces at her reflection.
<<Hello?>> in fairy language

Essex ran to the door to pick up the new arrival, looking behind her to keep an eye on the kids at the table.
"Ah...Yes, I see. Thank you..." she said, kneeling to face the wolf. "Magdalene is more than welcome here." Smiling as Sienna seemed to respond to her right away, Essex began back towards the living room, when the phone rang.
"Ah, hello?" she answered it. Suddenly, the caretaker's face lit up. "Mikhail!" she exclaimed, turning a little away from the children.
Rosalind's head peeked up above the line of the table and she raised a hand for silence.
"How are you?" Essex sounded quite happy on the phone. "Really? ...Ohh, that's -....Of course! ...Tomorrow? ...What time? ....But the kids, I - .....Well, I suppose I could, but.... Seven? ....S-sure!"
Essex's cheeks were tinged with a little blush and she was smiling broadly as she spoke into the phone. "Okay, you'll pick me up at seven tomorrow then? ...Great! See you then!"
With that and a clack of the phone hanging up, Essex twirled to the stairs. "Sir Archlich!" she called up the stairs. "Would you be able to watch the kids solo tomorrow night?"
"....We got trouble." Rosie muttered.

"Sweetheart has a date," Shiro chuckled to no one in particular. He took one final bite from his sandwich and drank a huge gulp from his sippy cup.
Archlich stepped out of his room and walked over to the head of the stairs to look down at the estatic Essex. The lich sighed and crossed his arms.
"If I must," he said. "And I suppose you're going out with that Mikhail boy again?"
Archlich turned towards his door and waved a hand, causing the door to slam shut and lock itself before he started down the stairs. He patted the teenage android on the shoulder and looked down at the soap bubble.
"But what is this?" he asked. "Did Toy Dispenser lose control of his powers again?"
"Nuh-uh!" shouted Toy from the back of the room, offended that Archlich would ever think such a thing.
"Wofs ah froumle," Ghoul agreed with Rosie as he chewed on his sandwhich.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
The giggle sounded again as the bubble thinned to transparency. Within was a small girl with iridessant dragonfly-type wings, long pointy ears, and a twitching cat tail. Her face had some feline features as well, pale spots peppering her cheeks and forehead almost like freckles. She looked arund her curiously, gaze settling on Sienna.
"'ello! I be Magda... me mum di'nt like th' bubble..." she frowned, and dispersed the bubble, floating there, her wings occasionally fluttering with what seemed like annoyance. She pulled some dark energies into her hand, shaping them into a ball, hardening it to be played with, and tossed it gently at Sienna with a smile.

Feliks faked a smile and began to slowly get up. He backed away from the table, forcing a laugh.
"Hehehe...Riiiiiiight..."
Once he was standing up he heard Rosies comment. Nonchalantly, Feliks made his way to her. He nodded his agreement with her comment.
"It may be trouble, but what are we going to do about it?"
"Nuffin we can do cept be quiet tonight," Ghoul whispered to Feliks. "Though I bet Archie'll have lots of trouble wit the new babies."
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
Essex listened to Devin, her eyes sad. Cleaning the mud from him a little more as he brushed his teeth, she spoke quietly.
"Well, there will be no pushing here. But there will also be no cutting people, okay? Archlich and I will handle things. Now then."
Carefully combing his hair a little, gently, she continued. "Virelai was hurt when you bit her. It would be nice of you to apologize to her, you know. She's a very nice girl."
Once he was cleaned up, she put a hand on both the childrens' backs and began to lead them out to the dining room.
"Now let's get you two some sandwiches. Devin, you look positively starved."
Japancakes.
