LILY

[crittersheep]

[You're in a neighborhood of six homes, each roof matching the color of the six teams. Of course, you are carrying the key to your own house, and you'll find yourself walking to the front door as background music begins to play to match your new, bright technicolor life.

You feel the urge to go inside and once you're in, the compulsion is gone. Once you walk in, you will notice that your joints have been replaced with ball joints and your skin feels more like porcelain. Even if you're covered in fur or feathers, they have a smoother texture that feels more fake than anything. Your movements might also be a little bit stiffer than what you're familiar with, but nothing hurts. Despite everything, you still FEEL like you're in a human body (or whatever body you normally have).

Your clothes are also matching the role that you've chosen, but there's additional lace and frills attached to the hems and such.]

"Oh-waa-aa . . . I woke up, wowaa-aa-aa... Okay, okay, lets have fun...? I had a dream about family sitcoms so we can do that . . .

Ummmmuuu . . .

Will you pick a room for me...? Zzz..."

If you want me to behave, make me--hey, no biting!

[terraria]

( cartoon dustcloud and feathers increase. )

You started it by -- don't rip my sleeves! Do you know how few outfits I have?!

[watercress]

More than me--ow my wings!

[terraria]

Ha, ha!

( PINS SONGBIRD DOWN. )

I win!

[watercress]

[OW]

Oh noooo whatever shall I do...

[terraria]

Brother... my true, blood brother.

Let us start over. You tire of crime. We can convince the other families - together - that the dark underbelly of society need not hold us captive any longer.

[A long pause and then a sigh as Songbird wilts.]

Very well. And I will make good on my promise to marry Charon, to prove my devotion to this new life.

[terraria]

( so he rolls off of him to help him up, supporting his back because yeah probably a little rough on the roughhousing. )

Thank you. Let us begin a new chapter, with a larger family, to boot.

[watercress]

And perhaps something for my back?

[terraria]

And something for your back.
