"....Well shit."
"....ADARA! I NEED YOU TO HELP ME PLAN SOMETHING!" Julian roared, having seen the result of something.

"....Well shit."
"....ADARA! I NEED YOU TO HELP ME PLAN SOMETHING!" Julian roared, having seen the result of something.
Does Julien belive in ghosts?
"In my own world, yes. Spirits do exist." Julian nodded. "An old friend helped me create a serum that would change my sight. Normally it wouldn't have worked, but since it was after my Esper transformation, my eyes are technically organic now. And as such, the serum allowed me to see spirits."
He can see the ghosts of his dead parents. All the time.
Seems they're cursed to see what he became, because of them.
And he still hates them.
"....." Julian looked around, rather confused.
"...Why am I in Marble Garden?" Apparently he teleported there and doesn't remember why he decided to come here.
what's this 'wife' business? nobody calls him Prince-Consort Mario
if Bowser kidnapped my plumbing client, I would be saying “wahoo” as long as those hours were billable
"I hope my brother is alright. It has been some time since I last went home..."
Names...names...most trailed past the Shadow Queen's not-ears like whisps with no form. She didn't care for them.
Grodus and her prodigal Sirens were the only exceptions. Tapping one of the points on her Emerald Stars, she pondered. "I̴'̴m̵.̵.̶.̵p̸r̷o̸b̷a̵b̸l̵y̷ ̷u̴p̷ ̷f̸o̴r̸ ̵a̴ ̷v̵i̷s̷i̸t̵ ̷o̷n̵ ̵t̸h̵o̵s̶e̵,̵ ̵m̴y̶ ̷f̴o̷r̵m̴e̸r̴ ̴a̶l̴l̶i̶e̸s̴.̶ ̷Y̴e̸t̶,̸ ̷I̴ ̴w̴o̶n̷d̵e̸r̵ ̵i̸f̴ ̷t̴h̷e̵y̴'̵d̵ ̷b̶e̸ ̸h̴a̸p̵p̶y̷ ̸t̵o̷ ̶s̶e̵e̷ ̷m̶e̷." Indeed, they'd probably sensed her 'awakening' by now. Whether they ran to or from her was still to be seen.
The phoenix's tale was a bit easier to follow. Despite his description as ruler, he seemed more the industrial type. One who pushes forward in the name of progress. She could relate.
And, then he said something that really stood out. "W̷a̵i̵t̴.̷.̴.̶y̷o̴u̴'̷r̶e̸ ̶s̴a̵y̵i̷n̴g̷ ̶t̶h̷e̷r̶e̶'̶s̶ ̸a̷ ̵w̴a̸r̵?"
"There's a war across the ocean and you almost saw all three of-a the people involved in the-a same room!" It's kind of insane how things have been burning between the kingdom and Dark Land for so long. Mario knew he was keeping them at bay rather then outright destroying them. Although Bowser at times was unrepentant and quite destructive though acting just like him wouldn't solve anything. " I had to take care of-a Bowser right before you and I met."
"See, Bowser is the-a Koopa King. Head of-a the Koopa Clan really. He owns Dark Land and it's-a people. He wants the-a Mushroom Kingdom and has-a done a lot over the-a years to get it! Mainly, his plots involve kidnapping Peach to marry her, and then trying to take-a the Kingdom by force. That's where I come in! I save-a the Princess and stop Bowser's forces. I really don't-a know what was happening before me and-a my brother got here...."
"So the rumors about him are true then." Julian sighed. "....Too bad he puts all that strength towards such a pointless goal. Unless Dark Land is somehow in desperate need of food and fertile soil... but being around so many volcanos, one would expect he has plenty."
Julian didn't really have much else to say at this point.
"....Fuck 'm fuckin' bored. I need ta go find an evil X or somethin' and get a decent fight."
"Why am I humoring this? Why am I going along with this obvious trap?....I need to take a vacation and spend more time with Regina...."
You're Fren.
You are Precious Fren.
If you reading this.
Fren.
A warning klaxon was blaring through the Fortress, Julian looking up at multiple computer screens suddenly displaying a warning in multiple Mobian languages....
Everything was shutting down. One by one, multiple system cores were being disabled. Julian quickly began to lock the others down, opening his personal HUD link to his main servers and isolating them rom each other....
He was able to save a large chunk of his systems, but the rest.... something had overwhelmed Cyber Peacock. Julian was getting no response.
"...."
Julian shut off the klaxons....
And began to code.
"Oh keep your flame panties on, I get to call him that because of everything he's done to me. Killing him ONCE doesn't make up for it all." Snively still remembered all the horrors he suffered through. It was a literal miracle that his Uncle stopped where he did.
He took the tablet and began rifling through it, studying everything for what seemed to be a few seconds, but was more than enough for someone like Snively, who had mastered the art of speed reading LONG ago.
"So.... the Mark Three is currently absorbing Magi-Tek that it doesn't seem to understand in an effort to continue its last objective and is now rejecting further orders due to a perceived betrayal."
"Fun."
"And you're hoping that my presence will give him pause. I suppose it's possible. Especially if I act like I'm still after Sonic's death." Which he wouldn't be against.
adara-of-the-flame
"...'Flame...Panties'?" Adara sounded out the phrase like a dirty, foreign word on her toungue. "You keep it up, and it won't be just your panties on fire, Snively."
The Seer was quick to interject. Rolling her eyes, she held up a hand. "Enough, you two. We're all needed here. And, yes, Snively. Your presence will give Metal pause, but you should avoid any false pretenses. No betrayal. No lies. The robot has been through enough, so we need to be civil. Nothing but the truth."
<Roger! Roger!> The Buzzbomber named, 'Girl Name Pending' saluted.
<Egg Daddy is coming with us! Egg Daddy is coming with us!> Whee!, true to it's name, practically zipped over Snively in it's excitement. <We love you, Egg Daddy! Are you ready to help Father? Shall we get the Egg-Mobile?>
"OoooOoooOooOOohhh... I'm soooOoo scared." Snively didn't seem to be afraid of Adara's threat. Either he welcomed death or something had changed to make him less afraid of her.
It wasn't death he was afraid of, it was pain. Pain and failure.
"....The truth." Snively almost seemed sick just saying that word. "For the record, I'm not AGAINST Sonic's death. That little rodent has caused so much trouble over the years. Though I suppose without him, nothing right now would be happening."
Snively stared at the Badniks that, to him, were malfunctioning beyond repair. "...." He couldn't stop them from calling him that. He DID invent the Egg-Robos. Though they were originally meant to be mining robots, he ended up retrofitting them with blasters and, at Julian's command, to replace him in the event he was occupied with other things.
"I suppose. If it can fit my Uncle, it should be able to fit us just fine."
“I can’t sleep” Adara was in her usual sleeping position: On top of Julian's belly. Though, after waking up with a jolt after some fitfull murmering, the flame woman found herself tossing and turning on said stomach in a vain attempt to get back to slumberland. She'd had a nightmare...but was unwilling to admit it. (under Mt. Ruggled starter)
Julian slowly woke, looking down at the woman that he loved with everything he had. "Oh? Do you want me to cast a sleep spell?" He wondered, slowly blinking as his cybernetics began to flood his body with the right chemicals to keep him awake.
Julian simply chuckled, considering these the 'antics' of his amazing inferno of a wife. He would follow as Magikayla led the way, going over to the kitchen. It wasn't too far, though they were only at the start of the city.
The main kitchen was large. It did have to accommodate an entire underground mountain-city. It was more stocked than Julian's own Fortress kitchen.. but with exotic ingredients from this world. As well as what seemed to be reminders on the wall. Like 'Do not eat any mushrooms raw' or 'Mega Mushroom accidents will be taken out of your pay'.
adara-of-the-flame
"Oh, my gosh...." A smirk slid across the flame woman's lips as she turned back to her fiance. "Does every place you own need to come with warning posters?"
Nevertheless, she got to work. Seeing Adara cook was very much like seeing her dance. She was just as much in her element with a cutting board as she was on stage. Onions, peppers, and of course, mushrooms were chopped with a fine flourish, eggs were expertly cracked and whipped with heavy cream into a frenzied froth, cheese grated with ease.
It was art. Everything she did. Whether for a vast audience, or for a giant and a turtle-girl, was all art.
"Okay, now, most people don't realize the secret to a perfectly-cooked omlette is that you have to cook the veggies a little bit ahead of time." *FWOOSH!* "And, there we go. Now, we continue by pouring some of this egg batter out in our pan...." There were no burners on. There didn't need to be. Adara was completely self-sufficiant.
Julian simply smiled, his face having a 'Do I even need to say it?' in response to her question. He always loved watching her cook. It was a dance... a dance of wonder and wonderful smells. As much as he enjoyed the smell of machinery, of a factory floor...
He had grown to love the smell of Adara's cooking more.
And that meant something.
"And you are quite the master when it comes to cooking." Julian simply praised as she went on about the secret of cooking omlettes.
Magikayla, on the other hand, was as starry eyed as one could get, watching Adara work. She was even imitating Adara's flames by putting a magic fire on her wand, a small jet forming as she was practicing with some sturdy woks in order to balance them on the jet. She was gonna learn today!
....Do I play my muses too serious?
Can someone tell me why I play games that I obviously suck at?
