Post by Scar on Jun 9, 2008 19:19:18 GMT -6
Scar narrowed his eyes. For the love of Ishbal, he was getting ticked. Already he'd been rejected at five mini-marts, two other bars, and a taxi job. And now, apparantly, he was'nt even going to be able to be a janitor for a public school! "I give up!" he yelled in exasperation, punching the brick wall of the school. That hurt. Alot.
"I'm never going to get a job, am I?" he asked the sky. "Please, I'm begging you, help me! I'm not asking for much!" No answer. "Forget it.." Shoving his hands in his pockets, the Ishballan began stomping down the street.
"MUSLIM!"
"Oh God..." Scar groaned as he pulled his hands out of his pockets. Ten minutes later, medics were hoisting the pummeled fanatic onto a stretcher and into the ambulance. Scar sighed and started walking, when a man in a suit stopped him and asked him for a moment.
As he went home, Scar was feeling a bit better. He had a job from the least expected place, and it was better pay than he had hoped for! He had a cut on his cheek, yes. Some fanatics were now getting Kung-Fu lessons, apparantly..But still, he had a job! It was then that he heard kickiung and an angry Dante. Oh hell...What did he miss now. "Damn it. Have I been a bad servant or something?" he asked the sky. "Give me a break!" Normally he wouldn't talk like that, but apparantly his hell was not over with his newfound job.
Sighing, he opened the door. "Is everyone all-what the hell!?!" Scar stared at Yoki's bleeding body, and blinked. "You know what...Maybe I should have decided to be a stay at home dad instead..." Everytime he left some crazy shit happened. "What the hell did he do?"

"He tried to hit on Dante, apparently thinking she was his old subordinate, Lyra" Martel explained when she heard Scar ask what happened. Suddenly, she heard a cry coming from upstairs. However, the wails quickly subsided, so she figured whoever was crying would be okay.
Bandit, bored, decided to go back downstairs, looking for someone to play with. Noticing Scar, she barked happily and ran over to him. Once she was close enough, the thief dog nipped at the Ishbalan's toes playfully.

"And I broke a chair over his head," Dante added as she hung up the phone. Letting out a tired and annoyed sigh, she walked over to the table and took a seat, resting her head in her arms.

Taking his lover's plea into consideration, he urged himself to calm down. Quietly taking a seat next to the crib, he watched as his daughter began to play drums against the bars, using her plush as a stick. Chuckling, he stuck a finger through the bars and began to tickle her chin. He recieved a gentle bite in return, but he was enjoying the bonding to much to care.

Martel sighed as she heard crying come from upstairs again. She waited to see if it would stop, but it didn't so she went upstairs to see what was wrong. Going into her dorm, she sighed when she saw that Nikolai had gotten his teeth stuck in the bars of his crib. "I seriously cannot wait until you have all your teeth" she muttered, shaking her head as she released the baby from the wood. There were tiny droplets of blood where his teeth had been, but not much, so she thought nothing of it.
With his mouth free, Nikolai promptly went back to sleep, his fist jammed into his mouth.
Martel looked over at Greed playing with Arden and smirked slightly. "Have you ever worked with little kids before, Greed?" she asked, half seriously.

"What can I say, I just got a nack for it", he said with a smirk. Gently prying his finger from her mouth, Greed patted her head an made his way for the door. Taking one last back glance, he genlty shut the door behind him. "I'll see you later, I'm going to go around town, see if I can find a place to work this time".

"You know, I have a job" Martel told Greed, walking out after him. She figured that the babies would all be okay. After all, the girls were both playing quietly or watching the TV and Nikolai was sleeping soundly. Besides, she was going to make a bottle for Arden anyway.

"Yeah, but it's not like I can just sit around here doing nothing. I'd eventually loose it and kill someone. Besides, booze tastes better when you pay for it yourself. At least that's what I hear."

Considering this, Martel had to shrug. "I guess that's true. Not that there's a lot of good booze around here" she muttered headed downstairs into the kitchen. She filled up a bottle of water with the powered formula and placed it on the table. Since someone had apparently been washing dishes recently, the water was scorching hot, so she decided to let the bottle cool before giving it to her daughter.

"Well I'll be back late (hopefully with a job), say goodnite to the kids for me," Greed said before closing the front door behind him. Making his way down the steps, he expertly grabbed the newspaper from the neighbors mail slot and threw back all but the Wanted Ads. As he strolled down the street he began marking what jobs he hadn't applied for.

Deciding that Dante calling the cops would be enough, Denny returned to the kitchen table and his beer while Jean went over to Martel.
"Hey dya mind if i ask you something..Kinda personal."He scratches his neck, knowing he was getting himself into an awkward situation.
Denny gave Scar a small smile, the man always came home to some disaster.
"How was your day?"He asks presuming he'd rather talk about that than this asylum for the mad, sadistic and pregnant.

"I'm a little busy" Martel told Havoc, motioning to the bottle she was holding. "But, if you don't mind coming in, I'll listen to whatever you have to say" she explained stepping into the dorm. When she got inside, she got Arden and sat on her bed, feeding the infant the milk-like substance that was inside the bottle.

"Uh yeah."Jean followed Martel, standing opposite her as she sat on her bed.
"Well, i kinda overheard you mentioning something about medicine for Nikolai?"He said it in a way that let her know she didn't have to answer, although he rather hoped she would.
If something was wrong with one of her kids, he wanted to know, maybe he could help cos after all, they'd been through so much already.

Hearing Havoc mention Nikolai's medicine, Martel couldn't help but flinch. "Yeah....he's got some medicine." That was all she was going to say. If he wanted to know more, he'd have to ask about it.

Jean could feel the slight tension in the room.
He wanted to press for more details but he was also afraid she might hurt him...
"Uh..What for if i may ask? I mean, he's alright ain't he?"He turned a concerned eye to the infant.

"He's got some sort of infection, from when Dante cut his stomach. According to Marco, it's pretty serious and usually results in death. He said I got Nikolai to see him just in time, because it would've taken a week at the most before nothing could be done to help him". She sighed as Arden finished her bottle, holding her daughter close. Martel shook her head slightly. "Dante's damn lucky that he should be okay" she muttered angrily.

Jean frowned, his fist clenched at his side.
'That damn wench!' He thought to himself.
He didn't dare imagine what he'd do to her if she done something like this to his son.
"I'm glad he's gonna be alright."He sighs, giving her his best smile.

Martel sighed. "Well, he should be okay" she told him, placing Arden into her crib. "The infection he's got is pretty rare. Marco said he's only seen about three cases, including Nikolai's". She ran her fingertips through her daughter's hair, smiling when the infant attempted to grab them. "But, I almost lost them both once. I'm not sure what I would do if I really did loose them". Hopefully he would understand what she meant. The two of them were the most valuable things she had- at least in her point of view.

Remembering that she had left her daughter with Arden and Riza, Dante rose from her seat and headed upstairs to check on her. She acknowledged Havoc and Martel with a brief nod, she walked over to the crib.
Dahlia had drifted off to sleep after the third episode of Sonic Underground, and had just waken up a few minutes ago. She gave her mother a big, yet sleepy grin and reached out to be picked up.
"Why, hello there," she cooed, picking her up. "How's mommy's little girl, mmm?"
Dahlia responded as usual: by abruptly giving her mother a head butt.
Dante twitched, her forehead throbbing in pain. ".....Ow."

"I hope so."Jean sat on the floor, his back resting against the door, looking at his feet.
After a few seconds he looked up"Did you ever have the feeling you might..fail as a parent?"Hew didn't really look at Martel when he asked this, feeling rather insecure by saying something like that.
He froze up the minute Dante entered hoping she didn't hear him.
