Grim Connections has been updated. The Dream-Mare people are under Story Extras.
Airon - So Shan.. why are we doing in Windenburg anyway?
Shanica - Dude I told you guys I wanted you to meet someone.
Aidan (turtleneck) - Yeah but who?
Jax (short sleeve) - We just want to know what's going on.
Shanica - Look it's the person that got us our lives okay. And I don't want to hear anymore lip about it.
Airon - Hey you're the one that's living in a house all by yourself. Working with our.. great times whatever nephew with his dynasty..
you got to see Pops. What in this for us?
Jax - Exactly!
Airon - I mean.. you know what I'm saying.
Aidan - This might be good for all of us if we meet the person.
Shanica - Hey. I just said come meet this person with me. Don't go promising yourselves things.
Jax - Hey.. we can dream right?
Jax - Besides.. you're sitting pretty whether we came to this thing or not. How do we know this person is legit? Have you even talked to Pops Or Mom/Dad.. whatever we call him/her/it. We're just trying to protect you.. okay?
Aidan - He has a point, little sister. We're here to make sure you're not in something that makes things worse for everyone.
Airon - She is the nice one.
Shanica - At least I'm not the dumb one or the white one.
Mystery Reaper - Hey.. isn't it my favorite quadruplets in all the simverse..
Airon - Do you see that or is it me?
Aidan - I see it. I heard it too.
Shanica - Guys, this is my friend I was telling you about.
Jax - You're friends with a reaper.
Shanica - Yeah.. isn't that cool?
Airon - *snort* that's one word for it.
Aidan - It can hear you.
Reaper - Hey Hey.. What's with all the attitude?
Airon - You can't be serious right?
Jax - Just going to look at the menu.. oh.. this looks good.
Aidan - *mutters: Chicken* Look. You're a reaper. Reapers kill people. We haven't been around long but we know that much.
Reaper - Oh is that all?
Airon - 'Is that all?' She says. *scoffs*
Aidan - My sister says you've done some stuff to help her out.. see our Pops and what not.
Reaper - Yeah it's the least I could do right. I mean.. what kind of people would leave you behind in a dream? The nasty kind that's who.
Airon - So this little girl says you wanted to meet. We want to know why.
Jax - And if we're getting the same deal she had.
Reaper - Well.. Wait a minute. See here's the thing.. you guys need to do some things for me first.
Aidan - Oh.. here comes the but.
New Reaper - What in holy Pam are you doing here?
Jax - Wow guys this menu is really interesting.. you should check it out.
Mystery Reaper - Me? What are you doing here? Ruining things again I see.
Shan - No I think I want to watch this.
New Reaper - You are way out of line with this one! *starts throwing her finger* This.. this is too far.
Mystery Reaper - I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just having a chat with new friends. We're allowed new friends.
New Reaper - Not these four, you're not.
Shanica - This is getting good.
Airon - I wonder who that one is.
Aidan - Im wondering if we should just sit here.
Jax - I'm not getting up past them with the close edges. Then they might be here to work.
Shanica - You are such a goof.
New Reaper - Go. Take your spineless, footless, sniveling weasel face and go.
Mystery Reaper - I think you have this all confused.
New Reaper - No. Just go before I call in backup. You've done enough and it needs to stop.
Airon - *snickers* I can't watch but if she starts shaking her hips, tell me.
Aidan - Not yet.
Mystery Reaper - Fine.. I'll go but I'll be back.
New Reaper - *hands on hips* I will be watching you and no.. you won't be.
Jax - You managed to get us into the middle of a fight between Death and Death.
Airon - I keep hoping one kicks the other or something.
Aidan - That would be funny.
New Reaper - Just keep moving.. that's it. Take the stairs.. *sighs*
Jax - Now is the time to go right?
Airon - She's kind of hot and fiesty.
New Reaper - I'm so sorry to be interrupting your meal like this. None of you took anything from her did you?
Shanica - Well that's kind of a long story.
Airon - Wow this menu is interesting.
Jax - Told you.
Aidan - *just laughs*
Jax - So how about you explain to us who you are and why we should trust you over the other one.
New Reaper - Well.. You could say I'm a really close family friend.. to both your parents.
Jax - And we should just trust you after that display.
New Reaper - Yeah you could. Not that I can tell who I am to ask them though.
Airon - How are we supposed to.. this is all weird.
New Reaper - Does this help convince you?
Jax - Kind.. of? I'm confused.
Shanica - Me too.
Airon - Oh man.. she's even hotter under the hood.
Aidan - Calm your jets.
Airon - I can't help it I'm a romantic like Pops.
New Reaper - Yeah it's kind of cute.
Airon - *whips his head around* Really think so?
Aidan - What do you want from us?
Jax - Don't give yourself whiplash, Airon. *Laughs*
Shanica - *chuckles*
New Reaper - Look. I just need to know what she promised you. What you got from her? If she had you do anything.. We need to know if you..
did anything with her, went anywhere.. That kind of thing.
Aidan - Is this important?
New Reaper - Very.. and then I'll do what I can to make sure you have the lives you were promised and then some.
A little later...
Mystery Woman - That was close.
The Boss - It was but you were quick to figure things out and now it's all wrapped up with a pretty little bow.
Mystery Woman - Did you get what you want?
The Boss - Come over here so I don't have to raise my voice.
Mystery Woman - You love to raise your voice.
The Boss - Not the Point, just do as your told.
Mystery Woman - Alright Alright.
The Boss - You're as bad as him. Turn around and go sit over there please.
The Boss - Look I know you think we're all conniving little specks of scum but I still have a heart. It's black, shriveled and only beats once every minute or so but I still have one. Nothing anyone does is ever going to make it grow three times or some seuss nonsense but I am very possessive of my things. By some strange miracle, those kids have been brought from more than just one reality to all reality. And since I own their Dad.. well.. their mom, then by rights I want me to be mine. Is that wrong? Don't you dare answer that. I want to protect them.. not use them. I don't want them to be used by the others either. So your new task is to watch them.
Mystery Woman - What about the others?
The Boss - You telling me you can't watch more than one family?
Mystery Woman - I can't be in more than one place at a time.. not now.
The Boss - Fine.. we'll do shifts between you, Tony and Reuben.. that work?
Mystery Woman - Yes.
The Boss - *giggles* They finally did something right though. I need to have a chat with the Brooks boy soon.
Mystery Woman - Yeah yeah. You're evil. We get it. Maybe ease up a little ?
The Boss - Why?
Mystery Woman - Because he's doing it and it's been a long time coming.
The Boss - I'll take that into advisement but you're not the one who gets to negotiate and you have work to do. Now get.
Mystery Woman - Later Boss.
The Boss - Don't forget your hood!
Mystery Woman - Whoops.. Got it.
Ricanote: The restaurant that was used is called the Pacific Grove Bistro and I found it on the gallery. I replaced the pool in windenburg with it to give it the stellar backdrop.
