"Yes, thank you everyone for making this a wonderful night to remember."

Lucky thinks Johnny's the cutest thing!  He can't help himself and cuddles the mouse.  He'd scoop up Pyrus too, but thinks that maybe the little dragon might not be comfortable with being cuddled by someone who hasn't been introduced to him yet.

Pyrus is eyeing Meiou's white-hot blade hungrily and licks his lips.  But it'll probably be many years before he can make a chew toy out of something quite that hot.

And unfortunately he can't find an excuse to try out Timothius' healing power for himself.  Because he's not willing to get deliberately hurt.  Unlike someone who Challenged Ra!  Bunny did get healed, didn't he?  Pyrus approaches Meiou to check if he's still wounded.

Katy grins as she sees the demo of Meiou's new "toys". "This'll be really handy in our fight against Robotnik. Just be careful. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between robots and roboticized mobians."

Timothius joins Lucky in cuddling the mouse. Since JB seems to enjoy Tim's touch, and the poor guy has been through a bad experience recently, Timothius figures he'll linger for as long as JB needs. He's also super grateful that if he is, in fact, healing JB's memories, JB hasn't shown any signs of that being a bad thing.

Timothius looks over to Lucky with a smile, then back to JB. "Feeling better?" he asks softly.

Emerald rejoins Joe and Mittens and says, "Thanks for the help, Joe. Are you two willing to help me with cleanup?"

Shelly hangs out with various Channelwood Freedom Fighters, taking advantage of being here.

Maverick disappears with Pyrus to go spy on Meiou again and grins as he sees the blades chopping through metal.

Johnny never expected a couple of cats to just sandwich cuddle him, but then again, he did get the thought that he needed this.

He just stood there surrounded by Tim and Lucky with a sheepish grin on his face and rhythmic tapping of his bruxing.  He even found himself hugging back.

"Y-yeah.  A bit," JB said when Tim asked him if he was feeling better.  "I hope you can understand that it's hard for me to talk about what happened to me," he said, a voice a bit of a whisper.  "As bad as this Robotnik seems to be, at least he didn't just erase the entire reality you're in, leaving you in a white void.  That's the 'too long didn't read' version of what happened to me."

He gave a worried expression to Timothy. "If that sounds strange to you, I won't blame you."

He looked to Mittens and blushed abit not used to someone taking a such interest
in his hobbies. To anyone watching he seemed to move more fluid and nothing
seemed to be hindering him "Well for pointers you'd first need what i use for disguising. I haven't had a chance to find the stuff neccessary to craft new ones yet. Though i think i still have one of a younger Katy somewhere. I'd have to check. As for my sword well i mean i'd need more parts to create the mechanism that makes it heat up. "

When katy spoke up he returned his attention to her "I'll be careful i Promise to not harm them. If i can get the right parts I could make an upgrade that would jus give a shock to their systems and shut them down harmlessly to reboot later."

  "Sure Emerald, might as well" Thankfully Joe is boring enough to be willing to help with chores!... We could have phrased that better.

  He is hardly surprised the recent emo arrivals are having their PG-13 world views effected by the rated G antics surrounding them.  Shame that doesn't work out so hot against the rated PG villain.

Lucky thinks the mouse's bruxing is the cutest thing!  And is very happy that not only is Johnny hugging back but he's also opening up about his troubles.  What progress!  Maybe Timothius' healing really does help his emotional hurts.

"Goodness.  I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel.  I can only assure you that you're with friends now.  And you needn't worry yourself about sounding weird or anything.  Our world is full of strange things, so we're kinda used to the idea of what you say being a possibility."

Pyrus is thankful for the invitation to disappear with Maverick.  He feels really unqualified to help cheer up poor Johnny, and just as unprepared to do any checkups on Meiou.  So Mav gets a cheek-lick.

OMG cat!  http://awesomegifs.com/wp-content/uploads/omg-cat.gif



Shocked monkey!  https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vi2...-trick-to-baboon.gif

"Epic reality deletion endboss-waitwhat you're so amazing at disguise people mistook you for Katy?!  Mittens must learn your secrets!"

And on top of that, que Legend of Zelda colored text...


"A gather quest!  Mittens is up to the task!  But Emerald requested help with cleanup.  So Mittens will help with that first real quick.  Then will take that shopping list and go forth to gather said parts!"

Her idea of helping Emerald with cleanup is to hop up onto a table and shout to the party goers, "Emerald song for anyone who pitches in with cleanup!!"

In all honesty, that'll probably help Emerald a whole lot more than Mittens attempting doing any actual cleaning.  Chores are one of the things she's not capable of accomplishing responsibly without risk of turning it into a disaster.  Like the time she figured cooking would go way more epicly fast if you double the size of the fire.

If Emerald were in an anime, she would fall over from Mitts' shenanigans. But SatAM was before American cartoons started adopting anime antics.

However, the people of Channelwood seem to have had their fill of Emerald songs because the response is for people to look at Mittens like she's crazy and try heading home quicker. Two or three children might have offered if it weren't for their parents insisting it is long past bedtime (and most kids are already in bed).

Maverick shoulder-shrugs from the cheek-lick. Then looks over to crazy cat. Then back to Pyrus. "I don't think we're going to get a song from Emerald for it, despite what Mittens just said, but all the same it sounds like Emerald could use our help." Maverick being a nightowl and all that, he isn't terribly tired yet.

Emerald just rubs behind her head. "Thanks for the rallying call, but I guess it's just you, me and Joe for n-"

Maverick walks up to Emerald. "How may I help?"

Katy nods to Meiou. "Hey Meiou... since you're feeling better, how about you and I help poor Emerald and Joe with cleanup?"

If it had just been Emerald and Joe, cleanup would have taken 60 or so minutes. With just Mav and Pyrus, it becomes more like 35 minutes. With Katy and Meiou, it will widdle down to 20 minutes. If Mittens pitches in, well that could potentially knock it down to 10 minutes, or punch it back up to 60 depending on whether she decides playing frisbee with the dishes is a good idea.

Meanwhile, Timothius and Lucky are still kinda on comfort duty. Timothius nods to JB. Many Freedom Fighters would just as soon say what happened to JB's reality was because of Robotnik. But now is not the time to speculate how bad Robotnik is. He pets JB and says, "Lucky's right. You don't need to feel embarrassed or think that we'll call you crazy."

Shelly heads to bed. The princess isn't about to make the many-miles walk back to Aquarius this late. This potentially means Mittens and Timothius are spending the night too.

He chuckles seeing how excited Mitts was to gather the parts.
He turned when emerald approached him "sure thing. let me put this up first."
he said pressing on the bottom of the pommel as the blade began rapidly cooling down to
normal. After which he tapped it again and then put the blade away and went to help out Emerald with anything she needed him to handle.

  Joe does not whistle while he works, if only because that would interrupt the montage background music.

  Still, he does appreciate the help from recent bunny arrivals, even if he doesn't blame the mouse still in full 'mah backstory!' mode from sitting it out.

In reply to Joe Darkthorne (msg # 176):

Nevertheless, when JB sees people cleaning up, he does get up to pitch in the best he could under the circumstances.  He thinks that a little busywork might clear his head.

Someone could hear him mutter 'What am I supposed to do now?' to himself, and with the way he looks around, he's looking for what he's supposed to do in this new and strange world.

Lucky smiles to see Johnny pitching in and gives a knowing nod to Timothius.  Both because it's a good sign of a man with a golden heart, and because it means the kittys won't have to feel torn about comforting the new guy vs. helping Emmy cleanup.

"Thanks for helping, Johnny.  These tables fold up.  Would you be so kind as to help me collapse them and stow them?"

By now Lucky's used to Mittens' silliness, so her outburst didn't really phase him.  But he does have to wonder how the AFF survive living with that day in and day out.

Pyrus grins from Mittens' shenanigans and is glad Mav decided to answer the call.

"I'll get the high up decorations," he offers.

He flies up to recover the hanging decorations that only Valin could reach without a ladder.

"You're doing it, Mr. Helpful," Pyrus comments to J.B. with a smile.

In reaction to the villagers being indifferent to the prospect of Emmy music, Mittens facepalms herself flat onto her back!

"Whaaat.  Passing up on Emmy music is the most unbelievable thing that's happened all day!  VERY WELL!  Then you shall have Mittens music instead!"

She chases the unhelpful ones with cat song.  "^{Meow meow meow} _meoooow!  ^{Meow meow meow} _meoooow!"

By the time Mits gets back from punishing the insolent ones for daring to turn their noses up at Emmy, most of the work has been done.  So she tries to make up for it by attempting to carry out all the trash bags at once and winds up looking like the old hoarder lady from The Labyrinth.

Emerald giggles musically from Mitts' antics.

Thanks to all the help, the cleanup is done quickly and Emerald gathers those who helped to sing them a song of friendship and love, giving all of them lovey eyes. Mittens may have volunteered Emerald for this reward, but not only is Emerald happy to give it, she would hate to let down such an avid fan. Besides? Who would want to make Mittens sad?

During the song, Mav grins at Pyrus and offers fist-bumps to Pyrus's paw and Joe's fist.

Timothius returns to flanking JB with Lucky so the mouse can get pets.

Katy has Meiou sit with her to enjoy the singing, tail swishing happily to the music.

Shelly hugs Mittens from behind and sways with her to the songs.

With the ending of the song, Emerald goes around to give people hugs (kisses for the kids), and soon, people are shown to their guest rooms.

In the case of Meiou, his old room is now Thomas' room (Thomas being one of the newer faces to Meiou). Katy says, "You're clear to room with him in your old room for tonight if you like. But if you prefer to be alone tonight, you could take my room for tonight and I'll sleep at Amy's." (Not the pink hedgehog, this Amy is a mouse and has been with Channelwood since the beginning, but she was just a little kid when Meiou left. She's 14 now.)

JB is, of course, allowed to bunk with Timothius and Lucky, but it is also offered he could bunk with the orphan children (such as Maverick and Pyrus).

Shelly will be going with Mittens, regardless of where Mitts chooses to sleep. But Emerald does offer Mittens to bunk with her.

  People being more eccentric than you is a gift, it lets you pretend to be normal by comparison.

  Maverick gets the requested fist bumpage, as Joe continues on his way to make sure Mittens can be dug if she trips or something.  Handy that never happened!

Johnny (JB) grew so tired after helping out cleaning up--with all the events of his day catching up with him, that when he was led by Tim and Lucky to their room and offered him a spare bunk, the mouse just flops down on the bed asleep before he hit the bedding.  Whatever or not this sleep was dream free or that the events that brought him here replayed to his head remained to be seen.  But his eyes were twitching behind the lids and he occasionally moaned and whimpered.

Meiou stretched out as he stood up and blinked blushing abit embarrassingly at the mention of Amy's name . He kinda hope she didn't hate him for just up and vanishing like he did. "Alone would be nice if it's not too much trouble."

Lucky smiles at Timothius tag-teaming with him in keeping JB company.  He of course applauds Emmy's performance and returns the hug with a big smile.

"Your music warms my heart, Emmy."

Later, when JB crashes, he tucks the mouse in.  Concerned for the guy's troubled sleep, he glances at Timothius.  "On the one hand, I worry about crowding him.  On the other, he didn't seem to mind that he woke up in my arms earlier...  Maybe waking up in yours will mean he had a much more restful sleep tonight."

Pyrus of course returns Mav's fist-bump and tail-wags to the Emmy music.  The goodnight kiss makes him smile brightly and cheek-rub the fluffy fox.

"G'nite Music Fox!"

Soo proud of himself for coming up with a nickname for Emmy that rhymes with "Music Box."

When time comes to sleep, he enjoys cuddling with his BFF Mav.

Mittens appreciates Joe keeping an eye on her safety, but even her compulsion to entertain him with some sort of antics has to give in to the fact that there's just NO way she can juggle stuffed trash bags.  So she has to settle for merely skipping to the compost and recycle drop-off.

When sneak-attack hugged by Shelly, Mits squeaks and flails.  But why escape from a Shelly hug?  She hugs Shelly's arms and sways along.

Hearing Emmy's offer to sleep over, Mits pumps her fist in triumph!  "YES!  A Shelly-Emmy sleepover!  Like drinking liquid musical revivification!  Epic!"

Mits apparently shares one thing in common with Meiou.  When it's time to crash, she crashes hard.

Timothius agrees with Lucky, gives him a goodnight hug and keeps JB company for the night.

Emerald blushes from the many positive comments.

Mav cuddles the sleeping dragon. That sounds somehow badass even though it doesn't. O.o
