...
*The next morning, Della opens the door, to see how Mikko and Tiana are doing, and they are sound asleep content. There hadnt been any nightmares for the rest of the night, she smiles a little, them sleeping in the same bed, maybe that was the reason, a good wa to console each other after the rough night. Her eyes drift over to the other bed however, and then see...the other bed is not empty, instead, it is currently inhabited by two strange greenfaced forms in one of the beds, who are also sleeeping pretty contently. She turns without a word, races to the kitchen, siezes a frying pan, and returns. Stealing silently into the room, she watched the forms for a brief moment, and then she lifts the frying pan over her head, and proceeds to slam it over their heads several times.*
*Both Kodama and Obariyon are smacked away, for a few moments they cant coherantly even register where they are let alone who is bashing them over the head, Kodama finally says dazed* Ok we're awake...we're awake... *Obariyon flails flustered* WHAT KIND OF A WAKE UP CALL IS THAT! I MEAN- *finally looks up holding his head in pain* oh no its the mom... *Kodama also looks up, head in pain*...Well...this is awkward...the waking up to this and...the concussion I think I just got...
*Kodama feels that its best to really talk in this situation...ignoring his throbbing head he tries to start up conversation*...So...hello there...this all must seem pretty strange, but really...its kind of a funny story right Obariyon? *Obariyon blurts* If you kill anyone, its Kodama, he's the leader! *Kodama looks at him blandly* Thanks for that Obariyon...
*Della stares at them for a moment, an odd expression on her face, before she shakes her head* What are you doing here? What are you doing in my girls' room? Did you hurt them? I swear if you laid so much as a finger on them I'm going to *WHACK WHACK to the heads again with the frying pan hard, shes a small woman but she has...quite a swing...Kodama groans holding his head, trying to see straight again* Why would you say you are going to do something but you just do it anyway? ...and OW... *Obariyon growls annoyed* Cool it lady! We didnt do anything to your girls, if you looked at my head instead of BASHING IT! You would see one of your daughters hairclips, which she put in my head! *And low and behold, it still is there, Della stares at it, and replies firmly* That doesn't change the fact that you were breaking and entering, I'm going to have Tom call the police!
*Obariyon sees this going in a very bad direction, shouts* Wait! Mikko and Tiana can vouch for us! I swear! *Kodama looks at Obariyon, and adds onto it as a lifeline* You do know we saved Tiana's life last night right? *Mikko and Tiana have woken up from the loud argument, but havent said a word, they might be too scared to cross their mother*
*Della fires back* What do you mean you saved her life? *Kodama stays calm and simply replies* She sleepwalked into the pool last night, Obariyon here dove in and got her out, and Mikko the older one, nearly blew up the room with a thunderstorm...and I snapped her out of it...*Obariyon looks at Kodama perplexed, he wasnt there for that part, and through Tiana's insesant chatter, any noise was drowned out by that, and hiom trying to cover his ears* A thunderstorm? *Kodama simply replies* Yes, and a big one...indoors and everything...
*Della goes silent for a minute...but regains her form* There is no such thing as an indoor thunderstorm. *Her voice is tight* You must have been seeing things. *Kodama doesnt back down* Ok so the giant burn mark in the ccarpet that nearly fried me last night was an illusion? Look lady...you are talking to a demon...Im no stranger to weird things...
*Della looks down and sees the scorch mark...makes up another excuse*... that's been there for a few weeks. One of her cords shorted out. *She blinks hearing the tail end of that statement*... a demon? Right, and I'm the queen of England. *Kodama cocks his head* Do I LOOK normal? *Della simply replies* You're just a very small man with green facepaint, that's all. *Kodama sighs* Not facepaint...My real eyes, my real face. Just like that was a real lightning storm Mikko created... *Obairyon stays silent, he cant back up his brother with this he didnt see it, not saying hes lying but its the truth* Hey lady dont look at me I was in the pantry hiding from 'Daddy' when this Thunderstorm indoors was going on...
*Della's wall is very firm on this subject* There is no lightening storm, and that is just facepaint. Mikko, Tiana, go to the kitchen and get the phone. *Kodama turns to her* Mikko, help me out please...*Mikko looks to Kodama, then looks down silently, Tiana puts a hand on her shoulder* S'okay Koda, Mommy jus' doesn't want Mikko get took away. *Kodama blinks* ...What because your different? *Obariyon looks a little eprplexed at that* ...Thats stupid...being different shouldnt mean anything about being taken away...me and Kodama...kind of know about that.
*Della eyes flash as se looks over, sternly* Tiana! *Tiana doesnt seem phased, simply replies* S'okay Mommy, they's nice. Took me outta the pool. *Obariyon replies exasperated* SEE? We aren't lying, so can you STOP with the frying pan...who uses a frying pan as a weapon? ...and...somehow is VERY good at it? *Della's eyes narrow and frowns at them*... you need to leave. *Both girls' heads jerk up instantly, Tiana shouts* No Mommy! *Obariyon even blurts* No Mommy- I mean Lady! *Kodama sighs, what a thick headed woman* Look...we didnt mean any trouble...we werent planning on staying but...sounds like the kids have grown on us...*And...any place they can hide in...would be great, he continues his case* I mean if we aren't a threatening preasence then...*blinks...his thoughts suddenly all go to one thing...Kodama sudddenly asks*...What are you wearing...around your neck?
*Della looks down. Around her neck is a simple chain, holding small ring. Around the circumference of the ring is written, in green letters against a black background, Batiri.* This? It's just an old good luck charm...not that its any of your buisiness... *Obariyon looks at it now* That isnt a good luck charm...that was ours... *Kodama adds in* But we lost it when... *Obariyon groans* Well...we lost alot... *Kodama looks at it again, shocked that its here* ...How did you end up with it?
*Della replies irritably* I don't know, I've had it as long as I can remember, why are you still here? *Tiana clings to Obariyon desperately* Mommy don' make 'em go, please! *Even Mikko looks up, pleadingly, Kodama sees one last chance, and takes it* ...Look...we dont know how that necklace got to your plane...but...Im glad its safe. Look, the last thing you want to do is make your kids upset right? Well...if we go...thats whats going to happen...and something tells me when Mikkos upset, your house is going to flood...am I right? *Della snaps back* I can calm her down I've done it before... *, her eyes widen as sherealizes she just admitted to Mikko's "problem".*
*Kodama sighs* Look...its fine...we dont want to cause any trouble especially because...*blinks...just notices the big thing about Della isnt the fact she somehow has their necklace* ...You're pregnant?
*Della rolls her eyes more than annoyed, says bitterly* You only just figured that out? What gave it away? The stretch pants or the circles under my eyes? Oh I know, it was the faint smell of vomit, wasn't it? *Kodama blinks, replies simply* No you hit me over the head repeatedly with a frying pan and my vision finally stopped spinning... *Della frowns*... Look, I don't believe for a second you're demons, and I don't know what you're talking about when you say planes, but you're obviously some deranged homeless people with nowhere else to go...*Looks at them again, she has no idea why she feels this...twinge of sympahy for these people...* I guess we can let you stay for a few days. But on the COUCH *Kodama nods compliantly* Fine with me *Obariyon looks around the room with a slitght snarl* All this Pink was giving me a headache anyway... *Kodama looks to him* Thats the slight concussion you got Obariyon *Obariyon snaps irritably* Shut up Kodama, all five of you! *Kodama sighs...*
*Della looks at them, simply says* Tom left for work early today. Be ready to explain yourselves to him when he gets back. *Obariyon stops, twitches slightly* ...Will we get a chance? I saw that guy...and...he looks like he could throw me a good mile if he really wanted to... *Della folds her arms, calmly* It's me you need to worry about around here. *Kodama blinks, gives her a quick once over not believing that*...You're prengent and about a third his size...*Della flips the frying pan into the air and catches it without looking at it, bluntly* Like I said. I'm the one you need to worry about around here. *Kodama stares a minute...then nods*Noted... *Obariyon also stares a second...he felt and is STILL feeling whoes fryingpan whacks* Yep...
*So with that out of the way...they do wait for Tom to get home...they really dont mind if he takes his time. The girls head off to school, and Della puts them to work around the house, cleaning things mostly. Kodama sighs, but its a place to stay and not be caught by...him...Obariyon gripes of course at the smallest thing hes ordered to do, but with the threat of a frying pan, he does what hes asked.*
*That evening, with the girls back and the table set, Tom returns to a rather surprising dinner table. Tom glances at Obariyon and Kodama, who look back to him warily, thinking he's going to have them by the throats...but he simply turns his head to Della and asks* ...Guests, Della? *Kodama stares...is silent for a moment* ...Wow...you really are nicer *Obariyon complains* And of course we learn this later! We could have used you when she found us! She hit us over the head with a FRYING PAN...A FRYING PAN! Who DOES that? *Tom's mouth twitches at that statement like he is trying not to laugh, Kodama sighs, might as well get it all out there to him now* Anyway yes...hi...Im Kodama...this is my brother Obariyon, we are demons currently taking a stay in your house...we also saved Tiana from drowning in the pool- *Obariyon chiprs* Excuse me? I SAVED HER... *Kodama sighs* Yeah yeah alright, and I also, woke Mikko up before she blew up her room with her lightening storm...
*Tom wordlessly glances at Della, who grumbles* According to Tiana they're not lying about the pool part, and yes, they saw the lightning storm. But for the rest, they're deranged homeless people. Need a place to stay a few days. *Tom looks a little stunned* You're... letting people you don't even know... stay? *Della shifts a little in her seat quietly. After a moment Tom walks over, puts a hand on her forehead. She slaps his hand away, scowling* I'm fine!
*Kodama sighs* Shes neervous because she found out that used to be our necklace around her neck... *Tom looks to Kodama* Her good luck charm? *Kodama nods* Thats what she calls it, it used to e ours, but we lost it, havent seen it in awhile, looks like its been taken care of though... *Tom nods* She never takes it off... *Kodama blinks a little perplexed* ...Wow...why would she care about it so much? *Tom shrugs a little* I dont know.
*Della growls irritated* it's just a charm I probably found lying around somewhere, no big deal, eat your food. *Stabs her salad viciously Mikko grins a little, Tiana giggles. Kodama looks at that...blinks* ...Are you always this chipper? *Della threatens Kodama with a salad laden fork* Don't make me kick you out tonight! *Tom chimes in quietly* It's really best not to comment on her moodswings and irritation.
*Kodama sighs, a little eye roll* ...Fine...*eats solemly, as does Obariyon...for the next few dayts, its pretty much like this. Mikko and Tiana do their daily routines, Obariyon and Kodama earn their keep, under the strict hawk eyes of Della, Tiana tries to endlessly clip Obariyons hair, and he always has to find a way out of it, distractions, anything, while Kodama watches amused. Really...its pretty normal, and Kodama and Obariyon might actually admit to being...a little happy. But something they seemed to have forgotten...they are convicts...escaped criminals...and they shouldnt be so relaxed...however...they dont know the town they are currently in...even if its the 'Good End'...is Endsville...*
