Jessica blinked as she suddenly faced a massive man of confusion. "Hello Mr. Rubble! I'm Jessica Doe, this kid's older sister…"

The father blinked and hesitantly reached out to shake her hand. "Hello? Nice to uh… Meet you? Can ALL your family teleport?"

She waved that off. "Just my brother, but he's able to move other people and things about too if he isn't having issues like earlier."

The muscled man looked gobsmacked. "Well isn't that something… Oh, and you can just call me 'Bamm-Bamm', it always feels weird when people use my last name."

John grinned as his sister's new Body didn't start glowing or exploding or anything… Not that it would! Because he had FIXED it all already! Yep! "Now for the girls…"

His sister coughed. "One moment Bamm-Bamm… Hey John? Bring Grace out last, she is still adjusting stuff to make sure nothing goes wrong with you bringing us out here."

Huh? Oh wait, now he could see it. She was adjusting a dozen or so modules and reviewing all the incoming data feeds… Aww, she was so thoughtful! "No problem."

Bamm-Bamm still seemed caught off guard. "Grace?"

Jessica was adjusting her new (localized) clothing, making sure her animal skin dress looked right without showing too much. "Grace and Temptation are basically my brother's girlfr… Friends. You'll meet them soon… I know that Grace especially wants to meet your little ones like I do! They are so cute!"

Finding his footing, the man broke out into a massive smile! "Aren't they just? Though Roxy might have an issue with strangers at first, so it's best if you give the little ones time to adjust to your presence."

She glanced around. "Could you give me a tour of your garage while we wait for them to wake up then? My brother will be stuck here adjusting stuff for a while so we can't really go anywhere for a while anyways."

Bamm-Bamm chuckled. "Sure, though only this front area is for less durable people. The back rooms have rock shaping equipment and spare resources, aside from Roxy and Chip's play area."

John zoned out the rest of their small talk… Now which avatar did Temptation want to use?

[["Ooh! Go with that one!"]]

Hmm? Alright, seems simple enough to adjust for any potential energy spillage. Alter it a bit just in case to reduce the rate of transference and… Huh, which of the outfits was supposed to go with this one?

[["None of them. I mean, unless you count the body glitter and makeup."]]

John mentally sent her a look.

…It just made her perk up and start posing.

Does he have to set a dress code? A minimal coverage policy? Because he WILL, if she pushes this too far.

His demoness grumbled. [["Fine, whatever… Go with 'Tiger Temptress' dress 3033, that should look best with what I'll be working with here. It's not REAL animal skin of course, that has basically no artillery resistance at all, but the stuff looks close enough while still preventing slashing and piercing concerns to some degree."]]

You mean, for the few bits of Body the outfit actually covers. Yes?

She just waggled her eyebrows at him, but her point came across.

Fine, whatever. "Go with TT.3033 please."

[[Confirmed.]]

[["Ooh ooh! Include 'Special Effect Intro #223' with it!"]]

[[...Confirmed.]]

Suddenly the room swirled with black smoke highlighted with red lighting streaks that swifty swept into the center of the room, all eyes drawn to the shimmering effect. "Long ago in a distant land, I, TEMPTATION (The shape shifting mistress of darkness) unleashed an unspeakable sexyness upon this Realm!"

Her form began to become visible as she twirled in her new deadly looking tigress outfit! "All may bow before my…" *Bonk!*

Jessica stood over the pouting dark woman. "No."

Temptation ignored the others as she rubbed her head. "But I was just…"

Jessica held up a finger. "I said no!" She pointed towards the bundle in Bamm-Bamm's arms. "Not near the babies."

His girlfriend pouted, but his sister stood firm. "I love cosplay as much as the next woman, and Samurai Jack is an awesome show… But no smoke, smog, or magic special effects near the children."

John couldn't help but speak out a bit. "It was impressive though, Temptation! You really make that outfit work with the whole 'evil overlord' vibe!"

And with that her dissatisfaction evaporated as she blushed! "Thank you, my Master!"

Bamm-Bamm just stared for a moment… And gave a nod. "I'm going to go into the back play room and put the little one's in their crib while you all sort this… This whatever it is out. If Pebbles asks, I saw nothing and left immediately."

John stared at the man confused but Jessica gave a thumbs up. "Got it, and I'll convince her and Grace to wear something more publicly acceptable before the missus comes home."

The relief Bamm-Bamm showed was a bit shocking. "Thank you, Jessica. Good thing my little ones can sleep through an avalanche, it shouldn't take long to get them tucked and snug for a while."

Temptation huffed! "This is why I said we should have gone with the sparkly body paint and glitter, Master. If even my tame outfits can fluster people, why bother being prudish in the first place!"

The massive man decisively turned. "And I'm out. Come along, my lovelies… Let's get you somewhere soft and quieter."

John winced as Grace tried to hurry up! [["No! I haven't even gotten to see them in person yet! Sis, you doofus! DAH! Skip excess safety confirmations in the later routines!"]]

[[Confirmed.]]

Whoops, hold up! "Belay that! Safety confirmations and routine checking is VITAL to not blowing up or turning into a disco ball. Put all the skipped items back on the list."

[[Confirmed.]]

[["What!? My Lord, please!"]]

He raised an eyebrow. "The children will be there when you are done, but if something goes wrong with your new Body and you get hurt? That would break my heart."

[["...Very well, my Lord."]]

Temptation slinked her way over, with a salacious grin… "Bet you five bucks she's blushing up a storm in there now!"

[["MUTE HER!"]]

[[Confirmed.]]

Wait, what? "Grace, I don't think you can mute people outside of my Pocket…"

Temptation's smirk grew wider as she began to tease Grace more! "..."

…As she TRIED to tease Grace more. "Huh… Never mind then."

Because in the end, these new Bodies were sort of meat avatars connected to the girls safely stored in his Pocket, and Grace had taken advantage of that.

That was pretty darn impressive!

~~~Pocket System~~~

Tired but triumphant, Pebbles waltzed into her office! "Guess who got the contract!?"

…The empty office? "Everyone? Huh."

Oh, a slab! Bamm-Bamm must have left a note. "Let's see… 'The boy John accidentally melted the couch so I brought him to my garage to give him a bit of space to recover without damaging anything important…'"

She paused, and re-read the slab again. "Melted the couch?"

It didn't seem to be an attempt to hide another Roxy accident, or him being too 'firm' with his chosen seat… Oh dear, this was going to be like those odd events that seemed to happen all the time around their families, wasn't it?

She checked the next sheet, as Bamm-Bamm's hand carving was always a bit too big to efficiently take advantage of the available space… Oh good, John seems to have a way to contact his family! Pebbles had honestly been worried about that.

Good mood restored, she twirled and headed back out the office towards the bus stop. It was MUCH earlier than expected, so she'd be able to drop in and spend some quality time with the little ones while also making sure that John boy was actually doing…

She paused, and slowly backed up to look inside her office once more.

Specifically: At the 'broken' couch, which had clearly been replaced by something of FAR higher quality than the prior model.

After all, the rate at which her family went through destructible furniture was not insignificant so spending a lot on the higher quality stuff was normally off the table…

But THIS couch? She could FEEL the quality of it from here!

High quality igneous for the frame, a cushion of the finest fur she had ever seen, stuffed with something that looked too soft even from over by the exit… This thing must have cost a ton of clams!

The idea that her husband had gotten this didn't even enter her mind. Even with unlimited funding, you just couldn't FIND something of this quality, even in Hollyrock! Not without supplying the materials yourself AND hiring the custom artistic masters directly to craft it…

She slowly walked over and poked the impossible couch… And even THAT small interaction gave a feeling of comfort and relaxation.

Pebbles collected her thoughts… And gave a nod. "I'm going to ask John to melt more of my things."

Something to talk about after meeting back up with everyone.

Right, let's go to Bamm-Bamm's workshop and reunite with the babies! She needed snuggle time after putting up with all those annoying clients today!

~~~Pocket System~~~

Chip woke up when sis tried not to wake him up because she wanted to climb but they were wrapped up together.

Which was fine. Chip knew Roxy liked to climb.

Still, he was sleepy and it was warm, so he pretended not to wake up as sis slowly crawled out of their blanket, careful not to tug too hard.

The comforting distant sound of smashing rocks and crashing footsteps helped lull him to slumber, knowing his da was nearby and everything was good…

Until sis stepped on his face accidentally. Again.

She… She wasn't great at being careful or quiet or stuff, but he loved her anyway.

Wiggling under the cover, he felt someone (Mom?) tuck him back in before moving his sister away from accidentally stepping on him again… Good. Sleep time was best time.

~~~Pocket System~~~

Grace grinned as she adjusted the animal skin to better wrap up the boy. "He's just so cute!"

Temptation on the other hand… "You want to FLY Roxy!? Let's fly! WHEE!"

She ignored her sister running around holding Roxy up in the air like a pterodactyl, making sure little Chip could go back to sleep comfortably. "He really looks like Pebbles, with his hair and stuff."

Bamm-Bamm chuckled nearby. "Yeah, my baby girl got my hair and muscles but I bet you shells to rock nuts that my little boy got his mother's smarts! He's a bit quiet but he has those eyes, you know? Watching everything, he is."

Jessica was curiously poking the crib itself. "How much does this thing weigh, anyway? Solid rock like this, I mean."

The man blinked. "The crib? Nothing much, a half a ton or so I'd guess. I have to get the more sturdy ones because Roxy sometime's kicks in her sleep, and the other options were a bit too fragile."

Grace absently pulled a Crafted stuffed brontosaurus from the Pocket and tucked it in with Chip for him to snuggle with. It was bright pink for some reason, but the little one didn't seem to mind. "They're both just adorable."

The man nodded… Then hesitated. "Slightly off topic… Is your brother doing alright Jessica? He seemed to be all fixed up but now he's back to flashing colors and stuff again."

Grace giggled as she watched her Lord's sister huff. "He just got a new toy and keeps playing with it. My brother can be a little absent minded and easily distracted sometimes, just… Give him a few minutes to get used to all that and he will calm down later. If not, I can ask him to test that stuff at a more appropriate time."

Temptation ran by, baby held high! "WOO!" "Dababada!"

…They all ignored it.

Bamm-Bamm chuckled as he carefully rubbed his sleeping son's hair with a few fingers. "Well, he seems to have gotten the whole melting and decaying issue under control after going through a few spare rock wheels in the shop, so it should be fine if he wants to mess about back there with the odd glowy stuff and the color show. I was just a bit concerned since he seemed a bit annoyed by something."

Grace grinned as she leaned back, her white outfit still spotless despite everything. "My Lord may be SLIGHTLY frustrated that his new Body is still reacting oddly to this place despite having 'solved' the issue itself. He'll be fine."

The solid black woman with red highlights ran in the OTHER direction! "WOO!" "Badadada!"

…Nope, still being ignored.

The muscled husband glanced at the sundial… Which he could somehow read? Even though it was evening already and candles had been lit? Just another oddity of this world to mark down. "Well, I best go mark the garage as closed for the day to prevent any late night last minute customers. Be right back."

Once more, a woman and baby ran past! "WOO!" "Dadababada!"

Jessica couldn't help but wince at the volume. "Do you want me to get her to tone that down a bit?"

Bamm-Bamm couldn't help but laugh! "Let 'em run about for now, my little girl always has tons of extra energy! Maybe after she tires your companion a bit, she'll settle down slightly in an hour or so."

"What's all this going…" "WOO…Oh LOOKOUT!" "Ma Ba!" "EEP! Wait, Roxy!? And WHO are…" "Sorry about my grip, just ignore it. Hey, everyone don't worry, I caught us all!"

Bamm-Bamm froze halfway to the door. "Ah. My wife is back."

"Honey? ...Why is a half dressed supermodel running around with my Roxy?" "We were flying!" "Ba ma!" "...Could you please move your hand already?" "In a minute… You feel surprisingly muscular, do you work out?" "Mababa?" "Put me down." "Yes Ma'am!"

He nodded with confidence. "I have no idea how to explain or handle this situation."

Grace held up a hand. "Not it!"

Jessica stood up with a sigh. "Let me. Attempting to explain my brother's shenanigans is practically my job by this point."
