"Not a new habit for him I hate to say" Yoshino had a chef hat on and was fixing brunch "Where'd Isla and Musera go again? If they're not gonna kill the guy how's he supposed to be disposed off?" Douglas grumbled "That doesn't make any sense."
Yoshino smirked "Let's just say where there's a will there's a way" he got back to stirring mix when all of a sudden Isla and Musera burst through the door "Never going shopping with you again! Damn purple haired pixie!!" Isla's power was being put to use, shopping bags and items floating in circles.
Musera flipped her hair, pony tail swaying about "Not my fault one of is drab and another is fab, I'm all the rage and unfortunately you're-" Musera looked Isla up and down in disgust"Well really it's more of an out-rage" Douglas jaw dropped to floor "YOU WENT SHOPPING!!?" his tone was accusatory as his voice rose several octaves.
Musera stop arguing with Isla to acknowledge his presence smiling and waving "Hey Douglas how are you today?" Isla turned around "Oh. Hey." she said as if it were an afterthought "Guess last night wasn't just a dream-so that's why that dead body was disposed of." Douglas almost blacked out "Kidding!" Musera rushed over to help him "We-didn't do that..though we probably should've.."
Douglas dusted himself off "So where did you guys go? And is that sick bastard gonna face any punishment for what he did to my friend??" Isla could be heard grunting as she closed the door "Strings have been pulled to keep him 'alive' but trust that he'd be better off dead and we'll leave it like that" Douglas looked to Yoshino for confirmation
"What they say is true, we can't outright kill without justification and while his intentions were ill until Akurasa is taken care of our hands are tied on what we can do; if we go around acting like Gano, then that many of us rebelling means that much more force."
Douglas made a face with his tongue sticking out in disgust "Good to know even multiverse politics are subject to meaningless litigation, then again when's someone's breaking rules it's not bad as a cover to have someone following them" Yoshino started putting waffles and omelette's on plate.
"Time for breakfast, Isla can you get Gano to wake?" cracking knuckles Isla lifted Gano up from under his covers and slammed on the floor "Ouch" Douglas winced in pain feeling for his friend who to his surprise looked up not that annoyed "What?" Gano didn't even bother getting up of the floor "What did I do now?" Isla "Stop sulking like some house-trained cat and stuff your yap', not gonna tolerate pity parties from you while I'm around.."
Douglas walked over offering a hand "Gano I just lost Brook and Tess bro, right we all we got...I've never had an actual sibling man...who knows maybe this is my chance..." Mulling it over didn't take long, and before Douglas knew it Gano took his hand "When one storybook closes-" Douglas started "Another one can open and begin" Gano finished to Douglas' surprise.
"Yeah" Douglas gave Gano a curious glance "That's what Dad always says. Where'd you hear that before?" Gano's tone was wistful "Just one of those expressions I guess. I do come from a whole 'nother world" Gano seemed to be looking past Douglas and not at him "Right. Probably a coincidence" he raised his eyebrow feeling unease "So breakfast is on the table you say?" Gano cracked "Just get over here."
Coming home to a house no longer a home, Tess felt the emptiness of her and Brook's nest as soon as one foot stepped past door "Was gonna' call out for them" Brook reminded himself "Almost forgot. Hey Te-" he made to speak, however his girlfriend ignored him, heading straight to take a shower "Hey-" He thought to reach out and call feeling stooped, stupefied, and feeling straight up stupid all over again.
