✨] I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND, YET AGAIN— man I really do need to work on being here more.

✨] Im sorry I haven't been here 🥺

Y a w n— 'Scuse her, she's drinking coffee as she's signing some papers... Can't sleep yet, there's work to do!

Is very gently brushing the undercoat out of her tail.

“Adventures don't necessarily HAVE to involve a bad guy, Ben. You can go on one right now, even!”

Y a w n—! She was napping all day! Did she miss anything?

It did take them a little, Juni (barely distiguishable among his siblings due to what... Ever it was that they were covered in) made... A rather gloopy crawl from where he was sitting to XLR8. Just... What were they covered in? Finally reaching his destination, the toddler sat, —

“I need to use magic to keep them clean usually... Technology isn't dexterous enough to handle some of these tomes... They're extremely delicate.” She huffed, swatting a hand over her nose to clear away more dust that threatened to make her sneeze again. Alighting her mana field, she levitated —

It wasn't particularly hard to find them, by the pitter patter of little paws behind a large pile of spaceship scrap. And there they were, all 14 of them actually, taking tiny bites out of a spaceship hull, completely covered in the grime of the place... And therefor he was looking at 14 baby —

✨✨

She huffed, having been left positively pouting at the now Kineceleran's quip— she's not really mad, she's still primarily focused on her worry. They can't even eat /rusted/ metal! It doesn't sit well for them yet! ( She's trying, VERY hard not to fly after Ben, right now. )

✨] I need to RP more. More on here and on Twt so that's ehat I'm working on.

Deeep breaths— she's actually managing to stay calm, surprisingly. And then it hit her. “Well— wait! They did say they flew to the south of undertown! All that there is is the Junkyard! Where old ships end up! They surely went to eat!”

Cue a little whine—. She's really close to just pacing in circles. “I left for an hour! And I left them supervised! Yet when I returned I got told they left the embassy!”

“Beeeeeeen!” Here she is, rushing foward with a worried look on her face. “Have you seen the Baby Chills?” @pr1meben.bsky.social

She shook her head, less as a way to say no, and more like how a dog would do after sneezing— an ear twitched, and she finally looked at Ben. A sheepish smile spread upon her lips. “Yeah, i'm good... Have been inhaling too much dust, lately.”

Cue sneeze—! Excuse her, book dust. She's not cleaned her library in a while.

( Sneeze—! ) Apologies, everyone. She might be on the road to getting sick... Again.

✨] Also dis My favorite shiiiip 💚

✨] Im bAAAACk Have new Jade art Pinned FINALLY coming soon!

✨] So I'm taking a mental health break for my own sanity. It's gonna be over soon but I just wanted to say it in case anyone wonders where I am. I'm lurking dw.

“...” Ears fold downwards. Yeah, /yeah/. Nothing to worry about. And it isn't like Jade is particularly /worried/... She just expected them to appear together. “I'm sure she'll appear soo enough... With things like these, it's far more likely she got... —

Sniffles— Yep. She is /definitely/ getting sick. Damnit! And she was careful too!

( Will never disclose how many plushy Bens she has bought— Just know, she has some. )

S t r e t c h e s—! She's getting ready for a good ol' run around Bellwood Harbor! ( She doesn't /need/ to exercise, but it helps her relax. )

⠀ ⠀ Use this post as an excuse to post your OC’s in the QRTs. Show off all of those beautiful creations on here! This is my Dragon Ball OC, Castella! ⠀ ⠀

“Not.... Quite. ...I think.” Don't look at her! She's not old enough to fully understand these things!

S i g h. “reality corruption, I assume. But it isn't something to be worried about... The Omniverse is /usually/ self-correcting in most cases, and basically... /fixed/ the issue. It most definitely feels /safer/ than before.”

ears perk up! “Oh! Hi, Ben!” smiles, tail wagging excitedly. “Yeah... Paradox and my family will be coming soon... They're just— delayed.”

Biiiiiiiiiiiig toothy yawn—

“Good evening, everybody! Did I miss anything?” She's here, floating down to the ground and then proceeding to smooth out her skirt meticulously. Must always look presentable!

Taking off from his form, the Baby Chills took to the space /around/ him instead, chirping curiously as they looked up to him. Jade smiled, simply— /producing/ a chair with her magic. And a book. “I'll be here if i'm needed!” mostly for Juni. He might have a —

Very tired purring.

Tomorrow is Halloween! She's — /trying/ to pick up a costume, but is indecisive. Damn her tendency for overthinking!

Basically... Yes. She's just had... So much to do.

Not— sleep tired, Lucy.

Curious thrills followed as the kids (finally) registered what their parent had said— ”Faaa— pheh—” Juni is trying /very hard/. His voice chirped up first as he tried to repeat the words his dad was saying, little brow furrowing. “Wait!” squeaked out Ishiyama, by far the —

Whineee... She's /tired/.

All the trash from the satellites and rockets humans sent to the atmosphere around the Earth? Those are considered rings. ...even if the Plumbers are trying to clean them up to not impede interstellar travel.

...Earth actually does have rings, Ben.

Stopping to look at their nest maker as he approached, the Baby Chills proceeded to ignore everything that Ben had said, in favor of just taking to the air before throwing themselves at the larger moth. They weren't attacking him, of course, they were clinging onto him, purring happily —

Can she offer a Juni for her to cuddle to deal with her sleepiness? ( She might be unable to say no, because as Jade is holding out the baby moth it is doing grabby hands at her, with a smile on his chubby face. )

Y a w n s. She's been catching up on paperwork all /day/— she's exhausted but refuses to stop until all of her duties have been accounted for.

Well, that's a shame. And she was finally ready for Circe to meet the OTHER Baby Chills, too.

Turns to look behind her for a little bit, and in the distance there they were, blowing clouds of mist not yet cold enough to freeze things solid... Just cold enough to make snowflakes, and giggling to themselves. “They're learning their ice powers more, too.” Jade smiled, content with just —

Snrk—. Congratulations, he made her laugh AND he's getting another jab on his side, for good measure. Doofus.

( Huff— proceeds to jab him gently on his side. ) The kids are learning how to phase, and she can't help them learn— there were already two times where Ishiyama and Juni got /stuck/ between walls.. He needs to teach them.

It's his day to watch over the kids... She could always call a nanny if he can't have them today, though.
