The water was dark. Flowing with all sorts of nasty things. And looked to be right putrid. Despite these things, the monster stood right in the middle of it. Instead of having the water sloshing around his feet, or ankles, or even coming up to his knees, he had it coming right up to his face. His stringy, orange hair was matted to his head; his silver-dollar bright eyes the only thing one could find themselves dragged to; and his pasty white face, that had red-painted lips on it, looking ever devious. The ones around him, his two siblings, and their uncle did only as expected when this cinema monster leaped up then ran towards the one who he was stalking. As was only natural of a monster to do, he shook his head like a dog and howled to make his victim grow terrified of him.
The desired effect of the audience being scared to death by this sight did the trick in making the ceiling rain on them. Efagti, the only one of them who felt no fear over what was happening on the screen, brushed the popcorn that found itself on his shoulders; instead of doing the same, he, Lhaklar, and Eshal left the pieces of 'corn on them. They watched in stunned silence as the monster charged towards the boy who stood before it, then as the boy rose his hands in a defensive manner, then as the monster suddenly vanished. The ones around them sent up a chorus of huh's after the monster disappeared then, like him and his siblings, started searching for it; breathes were caught and then held when the boy stepped away from the door that he was standing before then, they presumed, did as they in looking for the one who was after him. After ten seconds of muscle-restrained suspense, the thing that everyone, from movie attender to the one on screen, was looking for happened. The monster, instead of appearing from out of nowhere, or dropping down from the sewer's moss and vine covered ceiling to grab his prey, threw the door that the boy was formerly standing before open then went for what he wanted. Eshal screamed; Lhaklar groaned; his jaw dropped; and the muscle in Efagti's arms moved when the sight of the monster running into the boy was seen. Right before their eyes, they saw white-gloved hands tearing into the boy. The shirt was torn into ribbons, then flesh was ripped into strips; while the image on the screen panned over to the left, the boy screamed for what seemed like forever. The last thing they saw of this scene was of the blood being thrown on the wall. The screams continued until the screen darkened, then the scene changed over to one that looked drastically different than it.
"Seems like whenever I wake up, the sky's darker, or more far away." the girl in this new scene said.
"Jumping at shadows, Marsh." the skinny, Jewish boy who had brown hair and a pointy nose said.
"I'm not, and I can't be the only one to notice the drop in temperature these past few weeks... or how the clouds sweep in to cover the sun when—"
"Normal. When the clouds move in, it usually drops a degree or two." the boy interrupted the girl.
"It's normal when, on days when the disappearances happen, this happens?" the girl who the boy identified as Marsh asked.
The scene showed a total of five children of around eleven or twelve years. They were sitting, or standing, in a building or structure that looked similar on the inside to a clubhouse. The wood walls were decorated with posters, and tin signs; the ceiling, oddly enough, looked smooth and near-green in color; and the floor looked to be made out of dirt. The girl was sitting on a chair, while the boy was pacing. While the girl looked concerned, the boy was stressed; he also looked to be trying to convince himself on something that, throughout the movie, he didn't want to believe.
The boy paced to and fro for a while before turning then going to one of the chairs that weren't taken. Once seated, he shook his head then reached down to pat the pocket that the audience knew his bird book was in.
"Who's missing now?" the boy who had near-black, brown hair, and wore large glasses over his blue eyes, asked.
"Eddie Corcoran." the girl said. "One of our class—"
"He ran away." the skinny boy was fast in saying.
"No he didn't!" the girl grew rather alarmed in the face.
"Yes he did. Both of his parents, and the school, say he did. The police too."
"He couldn't of ran aw—"
"Beverly, you know as well as me that things at home weren't the best for him. His father was beating him, and his mother was ignoring him, and he just got his rank card, which showed that his grades weren't the best." the skinny boy who just identified one of his companions pointed out. "It's obvious on what happened—after seeing how bad his grades were, he grew fearful of going home, and facing his father and his fists. He decided to run away for a while before returning to a bunch of parents who are too relieved to discipline him."
"How does that account for the others who are missing?" the bespeckled boy asked. "Not all of them ran away."
"They're keeping it almost canon to how the book was written." Lazeer said.
Er, well, sort of. The scene that was just watched wasn't in Stephen King's 1986 novel and neither was the one of Pennywise turning into an old hag to lure the young boy from his bike. The same went with how Butch Bowers was portrayed as a racist cop, and how Mike Hanlon's father was now named Leroy instead of William. From what he could tell, the remake was around eighty-five to ninety percent true to the novel.
He couldn't help but see the bits that came from the Andrés Muschietti film, which went out to the masses in 2017 but didn't gain what was expected of it because of the back-to-back plagues that were going on. The Andrés Muschietti film was put in a vault following its theatrical debut then mostly forgotten; when it was recently discovered, it was found to be mostly eaten away with dust. The people involved with the new remake decided to save what they could of it then make up new scenes to go with it; as far as he could tell, the film was kick-ass and more than deserving to be owned by him.
The trailer was shown two weeks ago, and the film started being shown in theaters a week ago. Once he saw the trailer, he went nuts; it took two minutes before he started lamenting the purchases that he made that month—instead of having enough for a ticket, he was broke. With his finding himself as having no money on him, he went to see Lhaklar about possibly getting some cash from him so he wouldn't miss out on seeing it. Lhaklar, at first, said no on giving him any money so he could see the movie. Naturally, he rang out all of these things on how he should be responsible in keeping something from what he was given each month to fall back on when these situations happen, and that he should know better than to bug his brothers for money for things. Lhaklar's 'tude on helping him in seeing the movie changed yesterday, when he saw the trailer. Along with barging into his room, he threw him €20 then said that he saw what he did and also wanted to see it; following this, he turned then practically found himself as running into their sister, who was trying to walk past him at the time.
"Uh-uh! No way are you two going anywhere when them spouts are still being seen." Eshal said that morning, after learning that he and Lhaklar were going to the theater in town to see the movie.
"Going to superglue our behinds to our chairs?" he remembered asking her.
"We'll be inside, so we'll be safe." Lhaklar said.
"And them twisters aren't having ground contact, so you shouldn't worry on us." he said.
The matter of who went to the movie went back and forth for most of that morning, and about a quarter of that afternoon, before Lhaklar decided to be "smart" in asking their uncle if he wanted to "chaperone" them. Efagti, while making a return to how he was earlier in his visit, and reluctant to come due to the movie's content, said yes before their mother came in from work. Eshal was a last-minute addition to seeing the film—he thought she was only here to ensure that he and Lhaklar stayed put and safe over the twisters that couldn't make up their minds on whether to touchdown or not. Their father had already said yes to their going to the theater after hearing of how they wanted to see the film; he seemed shocked over Eshal's "protectiveness" of them, and of Lhaklar asking their uncle if he wanted to come with them. Before leaving to go to the venue, they asked Bile, Guyunis, and Hazaar if they wanted to see the movie.
While Hazaar had an interest in seeing it, he was grounded for a week and, thus, couldn't. Bile said that he was planning on seeing it in the coming days; he didn't want to expedite his seeing of the film for reasons only known to him. Guyunis was too enthused with his birthday-received game system, and the two games that Hazaar got for him three weeks ago, to consider seeing the movie or even answer a simple question.
When they reached the theater, they found that the film was being postponed for technical reasons. Instead of going home to wait the proposed two hours out, they saw another film—someone dragged out the 2017 American musical romantic fantasy film, Beauty and the Beast by Bill Condon, out from archives and then decided to show it in certain theaters fairly recently; Eshal, after seeing the poster for it, asked if they could see it. For the next two hours and nine minutes, they watched how Emma Watson swooned the Beast into liking her. When the film was done, the room that It: Part 1—The Losers Club was being shown in had a sign before it that said it was to be shown in twenty minutes—he and Lhaklar busted their buns to get their tickets, then beverages and snacks, then raced to the room; they only just beat the credits. Efagti and Eshal had already gone in and found themselves a seat. According to them, no one asked for a ticket or even stopped them from going in after the doors were opened and the room started being filled—this told him and his brother that they wasted money on getting their tickets; Lhaklar wasn't happy over this for a few minutes before calming down then sitting back to enjoy the show.
"Dropping like flies... Once school let out, the disappearances increased and—" the glass-wearing boy on the screen said before being interrupted.
"They're going to continue." the tall, red-haired boy said. "Until he's found and then killed, they'll continue."
"No!" the skinny boy said. When he jumped from his chair, he started shivering. "No, absolutely not. Just leave it be and everything'll return to normal again."
"Since when has anything been normal, Stanley?" the girl named Beverly asked. "Big Bill's right. Until he's found and then killed, the kids of Derry aren't safe."
"What do you propose to do? Run up to everyone who looks odd or out of place then ask if they're the one behind the killings then pull out a pistol or slingshot?" the one identified as Stanley demanded. "If it's a monster, like Big Bill claims it is, then an adult should handle it. Not us kids."
"The adults aren't doing anything. They're just going by business as usual." the fat kid said.
"No they're not..." Stanley started blubbering, which caused most of the kids to look uncertain of the situation.
"They are, Stan. I don't see anyone doing anything to keep the kids inside, or safe, when its daytime or even at night. The curfew's up, but no one who's an adult is keeping up with it." the bespeckled boy said.
"You can see that in Officer Bowers. Yesterday, he was seen as driving past a group of fourteen year olds—it was well past curfew." Beverly said.
"Can you expect anything better from him? He can drive by the monster and not do anything to—" Stanley started to say.
"With his old, greased-up face, beady, red eyes, and fat, booger-dripping nose, no." the bespeckled boy said.
"Beep beep, Richie." the fat boy said.
"Beep yourself, Haystack." the one identified as Richie said.
The film began about forty-five minutes ago. They watched how the monster, who routinely called himself Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and liked using the guise of a clown to lure his young victims in, claimed young George Denbrough; how Henry Bowers, the bully of Derry, and son of Butch Bowers, beat up Ben Hanscom then chased him to the Barrens; how Bill Denbrough, the older brother of George, raced to the pharmacy for Eddie Kaspbrak's asthma medication following a disastrous encounter with Henry; and learned of how some of the town's children were missing and that some of the adults thought there were two killers out there—one targeting the girls and the other the boys. In all, the film lasted for nearly three hours. Bill Denbrough, Beverly Marsh, Ben Hanscom, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stanley Uris recruited another into their group then grouped together to vanquish the evil that preyed on their town before succumbing to the effects of losing the memories that they shared of that summer; Mike Hanlon, at the movie's conclusion, was shown as both a young boy and sole remnant of his friends to remain in Derry and then as a grown man who was waiting by a phone. In all, there were eight deaths in the film—George Denbrough, who's arm was pulled off after it was reached into the storm drain; Eddie Corcoran, who was caught in the sewer after following the form that he thought was his younger brother, Dorsey; Patrick Hockstetter, the psychopath who kept a refrigerator full of animals that he killed, and former associate of Henry Bowers's; Victor Criss, a friend of Henry's who met his death after following Henry into the sewers; Belch Huggins, another of friend of Henry's who met his death in the same place as Victor; an unidentified boy who was killed by the canal by the monster that he perceived as Bigfoot; another unidentified boy who was grabbed by his possessed toilet then drowned; and a girl named Marcia, who was killed following her discovery of just getting her first period while out at night waiting for her boyfriend. Each death was as gruesome as could be, so he wasn't surprised over everyone yelling, screaming, or acting out their fear over seeing them. From what he could tell, Eshal was phenomenally spooked by the film; so were he and Lhaklar, for that matter.
As was natural, when the lights turned on, and everyone began to leave, it was his brother who gave the cue for them to stand from their seats. Once he felt the tap on his shoulder, then jumped for the ceiling, he turned to look at him then nodded his head. Lhaklar led the way from their seats, then up the aisle, then from the room; after leaving the room, they found themselves as having to go by their uncle's lead. Efagti took them from the hallway that the room was on then out of the building slowly. When they left the building, they saw it was night out—if not for his being a teenager, and way past the time where he thought the monsters came out to get the ones who stayed out after the sun went down, he would of been scared. Instead of being scared, he was energetic and very for their talking of what they saw.
"Bet you'll be wetting the bed tonight." Lazeer said to Lhaklar.
"Who? Me? No, but I'm banking on you doing it." Lhaklar said.
"Betting that the both of you will be wetting the bed tonight." Eshal said.
"No, I didn't see anything in the first film that we saw to grow excited over." Lhaklar said. Lazeer chuckled, while Efagti gave Lhaklar's elbow a flick.
"What was your favorite part?" Lazeer asked his brother.
"When that worm mutated, then started eating Marcia." Lhaklar replied.
"Fitting end for one who gets her first rag." Efagti flicked him on the elbow, while Eshal gasped and Lhaklar nodded his head.
"What about you?" Lhaklar asked him.
"When It attacked the Losers when they were in that scary as hell house." Lazeer replied. "The bit on it trying to scare them before they reached the bathroom is a close second."
"Bile, Guyunis, and Hazaar don't know what they missed..." Lhaklar started to say.
"Bile will see it soon. Willing to bet that Guyunis and Hazaar will too."
"Attack of the Tumbleweeds is released tomorrow. We can get it, then terrorize the family with it." Lhaklar said.
"That sounds like fun." Lazeer had a time in not chuckling.
"No more scary movies for me, please. I'll just stick to the romances, and fantasy films." Eshal said.
"Think she just warned us on who it'll be that'll be wetting the bed." Lhaklar joked.
"Ew! Keep all sheets that were girlie peed on far from my clothes." Lazeer joined the joke.
They walked for a while more before stopping then teleporting home. Once before the house, they went to it then went inside. When they were inside, and the house was all closed up, they returned to talking on what they saw.
"Hey, Lhaklar, willing to bet that Eshal got all giddy when she saw the scene of Peter Gordon making out with that girl." Lazeer said.
"Man, they did more than that. Didn't you notice what he was doing with his hands, and how that girl was moaning and begging for me?" Lhaklar asked.
"Yeah."
"I was disgusted by that scene, and I bet daddy will too once its spoken of at dinner." Eshal sniffed, then walked off to where the kitchen was.
She was more than glad to be home. While the first movie was good, and she enjoyed it, she hadn't much liked the second one. She was surprised over how her brothers enjoyed it, and over her uncle letting them watch it from start to finish. It: Part 1—The Losers Club was definitely not a film that she had expected to see—it was scary, and had parts that she was sure her father would agree on her brothers not seeing. While she mainly wanted to go to the theater to keep her brothers safe, just in case them spouts decided to come down then go towards them, she also wanted to ensure that they got along with their uncle and didn't give him a headache over certain things that he didn't need to be getting a headache on. Like her father, she was concerned for her uncle but, unlike her father, who knew what was going on with him, she didn't know why he was acting in the way that he was towards her brothers. So far, for the last few days, he seemed to be returned to being the uncle that she knew he was but, to be on the safe side, she was keeping an eye on him—the last she wanted was for her brothers to have a "repeat" of what happened between them and their father, then them and her.
While the event of wanting to see a movie in a theater was normal, the conversation on what was seen wasn't. She didn't much like how open her brothers were in speaking on their wetting the bed, or on her doing so after getting excited over something that didn't interest her. She wasn't excited or even interested in seeing It; when they saw the sign saying that it was postponed for technical reasons, she thought they'd be going home then forgetting about it. They were to move soon, and the weather wasn't all that ideal for her brothers to be moving about so freely, so she figured they'd probably never see it. Her figuring proved wrong, as did the one on her never watching a film in the building that they visited. Once her eye lit on the poster for Beauty and the Beast, which was very colorful, and showed some of the characters in a romantic setting of purple and yellow, she had to see the film that it was showcasing. She was happy to see Beauty and the Beast, which she thought was a film that was more targeted towards child and female audiences, and was glad to of been given the chance to see it; in her honest opinion, the film that her brothers wanted to see was more focused on audiences who were either teenage or adult males or liked being scared—while her brothers were male, and had been noticed as having an interest in horror films, she had figured that they wouldn't want to see something that was considered a blood-bath. She had learned a lot about her brothers in the last six months... some that she had grown use to, while others she still didn't agree with or like, and she had a feeling that there was still more to her brothers that she had yet to learn. With the move coming up, and her mother, and brothers, taking their place on Moas again, she would get her chance to get to know them fully. The same went on their getting to know her and their father in the full sense.
After saying hello to her mother, who was working the stove, and getting the final touches on dinner done, she scooped up the cat that was sitting by the basement door. Once the cat was in her arms, she opened the door then went down the steps. When she was in the basement, she went to the tunnel that was beside the washing machine then went down it. After reaching the part that opened in on the room that her brothers made, she stopped then watched in a stupid sort of fascination what she just came upon.
"Probably been playing it since we left." Eshal thought while watching what she was.
Unbeknown to the girlie, he hadn't just played his game system for the four and a half hours that she, their two bruders, and the man who seemed to be nothing more than a plain annoyance were out of the house. While he was playing the system when they left, he didn't continue to do so; he stopped long enough to get a snack, then talk to his mutter after hearing that she was home, then say hello to Bile, before going down to resume the play of the game that he was trying to get the hang of. After thirty minutes of resumed play, he stopped to go back up for a short "breather". He played with Sabine, then spoke with his mutter's husband, then watched a tv show before going down to play the game again. Hazaar had really looked out for him on the two games that he got for him; he more than ever thanked him for what he did, and loathed the idea of his being grounded because of his theft of the cash that he used to get them with.
The Virtual Reality Game Helmet was a hell of a surprise to him when he received it on his birthday. If not for his guitar, it would of been the "highlight" of what he got on that day. He had seen the game systems that preceeded it when he was a ward of the Meyers but he hadn't had a chance to check them out or even play one of the games that went with them. He was glad to do so now, and to have the games that he had for his system. Dune was based on the film that went out in 4092; the player mainly assumed military attire and did his best to stay alive against the desert's various beasts. While he liked Dune, he had found it to be a bit too easy to play—since getting his system, he had won it over five times. Back To Dinosaur Island was a decent game; he had played it twice now, and had found it to be right interesting. He mostly just walked around, with his service-issue rifle cocked and ready to fire at the meat-eating dinosaurs that he found himself as facing. With his character being stranded on a dinosaur island, and needing to find four people who were also stranded, he needed to keep himself alive and find them before they succumbed to either the elements or the animals that called the island home. Star Wars: Trails of Tatooine was his favorite of the three games that he owned. He assumed the identity of a Jedi and was doing his best to stay alive on the desert planet while also checking it over for folk who meant to bring the Republic back from the dead—while Hazaar got him the game, he didn't get him the controller with which he could play it with; it took him two days before he could muster the courage to ask Lhaklar for a loan so he could get himself the lightsaber-shaped controller.
The controller cost him €45, which meant that he was going to be lacking most of his allowance next month if he didn't go out soon to check the nearby dumps then find something to sell. Even though Lhaklar was his bruder, and he loved him, he knew that he wasn't going to let the loan slip his mind. He needed to pay it off, so he could remain in his bruder's good "faith" and show a little bit of maturity. So far, Lhaklar hadn't asked for him to pay him back yet but he was sure that it'd come up soon; he best get on the stick in getting some dough just to keep him from turning on him, and keep that man from targeting him again.
"That was close!" the voice of Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the classic first three films, had a cameo in the seventh, and was a minor character in the eighth and ninth film, said after he narrowly missed getting hit by gunfire.
The lightsaber controller was poised for just a second before dipping low then being swung. He repelled gunfire, then debris that suddenly flew at him, before charging towards the end of the roof. With a jump, he sailed across space to the next building then started landing left's and right's to the ones who he came upon who meant him harm. While punching the ones who were in the game, and who he thought he saw, he was reminded of why he was in the "Son Cave"—instead of playing his game in the living room, or his bedroom, where something could be damaged, or someone could be hurt by his acting out his play, he was in the relatively safe room that he and his bruders built, where nothing could be broken or hurt. While he liked his game system, and its games, he didn't want to break a window, or a piece of furniture, or send someone to the hospital.
Before returning to the Son Cave, he closed the door that went to the basement. With Sabine following him around, and wanting to come down here, he didn't want to run the risk of her being accidentally kicked, stepped on, or hit. His cat, while getting adequate attention from him, and his mutter's husband and his daughter, was getting a bit too clingy as of late; it seemed that he couldn't go anywhere in the house anymore without having her following him. He suspected that it was the man who was his mutter's bruder-in-law who was cause of this—with his stepping on her tail last week, and getting a bit frustrated over finding her in his room almost every day, he had spooked her into not being as confident as she use to be.
Efagti, who his bruders were either openly calling their uncle or being forced to out of respect, was no uncle of his. While he gave him some respect, he didn't give him all of what he deserved nor even trusted him as much as he could see out the window on a foggy day. While the man had stopped trying to give him them embarrassing talks, and stopped getting on him for his oops-moment in saying that word, he was still causing trouble for him. Even though he hadn't done anything these last few days, he was on his toes for when he did—like the man who was his mutter's husband, he wasn't to start getting use to him, or trusting him, until he shaped up and started showing the members of his family the respect that they needed. He went through his mutter's husband's shenanigens in April, and then his sister's in June and July; with Efagti now being in the picture, and being such a jerk after he started growing a bit calm around him, he was wondering if everyone in his mutter's husband's family wasn't whacked in the head.
"You need training on the Force, Apprentice." Mark Hamill's voice said when he came deathly close to being killed. The stormtrooper came out of nowhere, and he had no chance to prepare for him before he struck him with his dagger—there was no way to tell Mr. Hamill this, since he was dead and the voice was programed into the game.
He slugged many aliens who were on the Republic's side, then the stormtroopers that decided to come in after he found himself as having to do battle on the ground, then progressed to the next part, which took place in Maz Kanata's tavern. It was very quiet for around two minutes; he walked around in this virtual bar, and consumed two drinks that he just snagged from the counter, and were for someone else who wasn't watching his surroundings, or the people in them, before going to work with his lightsaber. This part of the game required a specific gun controller to be used; since he didn't have that, he used his saber as best he could. Before getting far in this new battle, he was given a chore—protect Maz as she tried to remove the things that were in her tavern's basement. While repelling gunfire, and the objects that were hurled at him, he followed the oddly orange woman, who was said to be a thousand years old, and Chewie's "girlfriend", as she hauled boxes and bags of stuff from the basement to a ship that, for some strange reason, wasn't being fired at. He received many wounds, and the beam that showed his life essence came to be drained twice before being restored, before the chore was done and Maz flew off with her precious cargo. The rest of the segment in battling in the tavern was done quickly before he reached the part that he was experiencing the most trouble on. In this part, he had to relinquish his saber for favor of his fists—for some reason, General Grievous was in the game; he had to battle him by normal means to move on to the next level. With the General having four arms, this was a tricky task. And one that he, once again, found trouble in doing.
The lower arms swung before the top ones did. He ducked to avoid the lower swings, then pulled back to miss the ones that were directed towards his head and chest. The General laughed, then did his dry cough, then came at him; the scene around him became red as he was struck, then driven back by blows. He took four before swinging at his opponent's chest—the General was a robot, yes, but he had organs under his plates that were vulnerable. Like Obi-wan Kenobi, he tried to ply the panels before the heart to vanquish his enemy. General Grievous made a grunting sound, then shoved him back; the mechanical foot of the robot man sent him reeling for two feet after it collided with him two seconds later. If he had the use of his saber, he would of beat the man in nothing flat; seeing as this was a personal battle, he had to rely on his strength and smarts to get out of it alive. He took three punches to the head, then one to the stomach and chest, before getting one in that seemed to disorient his opponent. As the General knelt before him, coughing, and trying to regain his senses, he rushed in then started pummeling him. His hand had just wrapped around the man's chest armor when he was hurled towards the ceiling. Before he could do anything, his ankle was grabbed then he was thrown to the side.
"Silly human Jedi. There's no way you c—" the General started to say.
"Hey!" for some reason, a feminine voice came in over his opponent's. He ignored it as he paid attention to where his foe was going, and what he was planning on doing.
"—an beat me." the General finished. He no more tried to trick the man into thinking that he was going to the left when he meant to go right when he came towards him.
It felt like he was assaulted by a dump truck. When the man collided with him, then picked him up, then started to crush him, he thought he felt the sensation of his bones screaming, and then breaking. He allowed for this attack to happen for two seconds before swinging his leg up then drawing clear of his opponent. He ran around the man twice, then swung at his face once, then found himself tasting dirt; the man hovered over him, laughing in his strange way, and uttering two of his trademark coughs, before reaching down for his throat. If he had pupils, they would of contracted. Once the man's metallic, claw-like hand was on him, he "felt" pain. The scene became red; he saw stars while trying to pry the cold fingers from the part of his body that was, earlier that year, grabbed by the man who fadered him; his imagination ran wild as he coughed, and then sputtered; then he found the strength to do as he had previously not been able to do in kicking his foot up then making his opponent release him. Once he was released, the scene became clear. He thought he detected the taste of blood in his throat as his character stood, then took two bounding steps towards the General. Thoughts of his actually winning the part that seemed to be getting the best of him happened when he grabbed the brick then slugged it into his opponent's head. The General, after being driven back to the wall, swung at him twice before dropping to his knee; he laughed evilly while grabbing the board nearest him, then holding it with preparation to use. The General's odd eyes, which looked organic, and were surrounded by tissue, grew in size as he rose the board then brought it down on h—
"Guyunis!"
Whatever it was that her brother was playing, he must be having fun with it or close to losing some battle that she couldn't see. Guyunis was both running around in circles, cursing and throwing punches, and kicks, at the air, and grabbing at himself as if he was hurt; while two of them things were amusing to watch, the third wasn't. Seeing as she best stop him from doing as he was, then see if he was truly okay or not, she called out to him. When he didn't respond, or stop throwing his fist at the pillow that he was holding, she ran forward. She collided with him right when he started to stand from his bowed stance—if she had known of his just besting the one that his helmet was projecting to him, and that he was only acting out his battle with him, she would of grown purple in the cheeks.
When she reached him, then wrapped her arms around him, he stood up tall then became very still. There was a short thirty-second period where he did nothing before reaching his hand up to his head. He fiddled with the helmet that he wore, then pressed two of the buttons that were on it, then lifted it; his glowing yellow eyes blinked twice, then took her in for just a second, before the sigh was emitted and his arm flexed.
"You okay?" Eshal asked after being driven back by twelve inches.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Guyunis counter-asked.
"You're going around like you're hurt..."
"Feel fine. Nothin-k-g wrong with me."
"Just playing to the moment in your game?"
"Yes."
He was annoyed. Here he was, getting ready to show how elated he was in beating Grievous, and progress to the next part of the game, when he was stopped from playing. When the body was thrown at him, he thought it was his mutter. She came down, wanting to get his attention about supper being ready or something, and, when she saw that he was unresponsive to her, threw herself at him—this seemed very right to him until he realized she wouldn't do this. His mutter wouldn't throw herself at him to get his attention. She'd call out, and quite loudly too, before coming forward to either turn the system that he wore off or give his arm a tap. Seeing as it couldn't be his mutter who was stopping his playtime with his game, he decided to save the progress that he did then take the helmet off.
As he had assumed, it wasn't his mutter who ran into him. It was Eshal. The "oldest" of his siblings, who he was still slightly nervous of and didn't fully trust. After seeing her, then pushing her back from him, he began the ritual of returning the room to how it was before he came down to play his system. The table, which was propped against the wall, was dropped to its four legs then picked up; he placed it back to where it was then went to put the items that he grabbed and either threw or used during his fight with Grievous. Once this was all done, he sat on the couch; while he was shocked over seeing that Sabine was in the room, he didn't shoo her from him when she came over for a cuddle. After picking her up, then cradling her close to his chest, he placed his helmet on the table then sat back. Eshal came over then sat beside him a few seconds later.
"How long-k have you been in here?" Guyunis asked his cat.
"Couple of minutes." Eshal, who automatically thought he was talking to her, said.
"Ever hear of giving-k one some privacy?" Guyunis asked Eshal.
"Yes. I didn't know anyone was down here when I came down."
"Likely story."
"G—"
"Guyunis—you've no-k-t won the priviledge of calling-k me tha-k-t."
"No need for you to be rude, Guyunis."
"How long have you been back?"
"Just came in." Eshal replied. Seeing as she best mention it, she decided to speak of the movie that was seen. "Saw two movies while we were out—Beauty and the Beast, and the one that Lhaklar and Lazeer wanted to see. The first was good, while the second wasn't."
"Something wrong with i-k-t?" Guyunis asked.
"Scary, gory, and—"
"Sounds righ-k-t up my alley."
"Enough to give you nightmares too."
"I'll see it in the next few days." Guyunis promised. "Go-k-t several tha-k-t I want to see, but that one is really up there on my lis-k-t."
"What're the others that you want to see?" Eshal asked.
Due to the content that was in two of the movies that he wanted to see, he kept his mouth shut on what he was planning to do in the coming days. Since the tornadoes weren't having ground contact, and it was sunny when they were seen, it was obvious that everything was fine and that he and his bruders could go outside. If things went according to plan, he'd be joining Giovanni in one of the theaters that showed both soft and hard porn on the twenty-ninth; on the thirtieth, he was to see the new It movie while, on the following day, he was to see the Halloween line-up that was to be shown in the FORUM Rastatt movie theater. While Bile knew of his intent to see the porn movies, he wasn't to join him, and Giovanni, in seeing them—he had something better to do on that day, and claimed to not like seeing them types of cinema smut. Even though he just receive a confirmation on how good the new It remake was, he knew it was going to be good, and that the money for the ticket was worth it.
Since he needed to give his vision a rest for a few hours, he decided to put his game system away. He placed Sabine on the couch's arm, then grabbed his helmet; while keeping an eye on the girlie, he slid the game from its slot then returned it to its box. Following the closing of the box, he retrieved his cat then stood up. He excused himself right when his mutter called for everyone to come to supper.
"Double good reason to give the game a rest." he thought after the word on supper being done was given.
"You speak with Giovanni on our moving yet?" Eshal asked a few seconds later, after following him from the room then down the tunnel that it was on.
"No, and no-k-t planning to either." Guyunis replied.
"You need to. For both your and his sake."
"For your dat's sake, you mean." Guyunis said.
"Careful, Brother. Daddy may be nice on some things but he's not on others." Eshal warned. When Guyunis stopped, then turned to look at her, she shrugged her shoulders then came up beside him. "He doesn't like disrespect, and you just implied yourself in not giving him any."
"Tell me why I should stop being-k Giovanni's friend, or tell him we're moving soon. There are ways for me and my bruders to keep being-k friends with who we hang-k ou-k-t with, you know." Guyunis said while continuing down the tunnel.
"Daddy wants the move to be smooth, and for you and our brothers to settle in right. Going from Moas to Earth isn't ideal for that to happen."
"I'm sure we can work out something on our getting set-k-tled and keeping our friends." Guyunis said while moving past his sister then going towards the stairs that went up to the kitchen. After entering the kitchen, he went straight for the stairs that'd take him to his room; the one who was his sister stopped only long enough to shake her head at what he said before going to where the dining room table was.
