Yay it's a... alien horror... whee. [accidental dictation]

[originalcopy]

[The sounds of bangs crashes and assorted other sounds of meyhem.]

Blarg! 

What? No!  Bad, get down from there!

Honk!   [Crash, smash, crunch]

Aw, come on!   [Dog barking]  Mason! Don't you start too!

Honk, honk blarg! 

Get that out of your mouth, young....

Burg!  [high pitched yipping sound]

Bad baby!  No biting the dog!  Bad!

It does sound like you have your hands full there. Could you use some help?

[originalcopy]

Why do you have a shotgun laying around?

HONK!? Honkity Blarg! Blarging honk honk!

Oh, calm down, I was kidding... Kidd-ing... Sheesh.

[im_the_doctor]

I'm no expert, but if you're kidding around you have everything under control.

[originalcopy]

Pfft... 'under control' is just what people call the quiet pause in between everything going to hell.

So yeah... everything is pretty much "under control".

[sounds of toothy mandibles chewing on something hard.]

[im_the_doctor]

Surely it's not that bad?! It is only a baby after all...

[originalcopy]

Ha! Do you have much experience with aliens? Or babies... or baby aliens?

[im_the_doctor]

Aliens yes, babies... Wel-ll, it's been some time. Although most caregivers survive the earlier years, alien or otherwise. That has to be a good sign.

[originalcopy]

heh, survive yes. Stay sane while doing so? Not so much.

BLARG!

Oh you shut up.

[im_the_doctor]

Oh now being sane is completely overrated. I highly advise a bit of insanity in everyone's life.

What kind of alien baby do you have there?

[originalcopy]

Uh, Sangheili.

Shisno!

Hey, you watch your mouth!

Blargity blarg, Honk!

[im_the_doctor]

I don't think I'm familiar with that species. You seem to understand... him? / her? though. Are Sangheili from where you are from as well?

[originalcopy]

Oh I know that word... the rest is just a bunch of honks and blargs to me.

And yeah, they're from my 'verse or reality or whatever you want to call it.

[im_the_doctor]

Well, at least it's something familiar.

[originalcopy]

Always look on the bright side or some bullshit like that.

[im_the_doctor]

Bull dung aside, yeah I'd say that's the gist of it. Could be worse. Could be much worse.

[originalcopy]

I don't need reminding.

[He's seen the castle at it's worst. Been driven insane with nightmarish visions of the woman he loved, burned alive. Found the people he cared about brutally murdered and known he'd failed to protect them.
He's been given a couple of weeks living a storybook perfect life with the woman he loved. Everything they could never have in reality... and that was just as evil as the other.
Yeah, he knows worse.]

[im_the_doctor]

Yes. Sorry. Of course you don't.

So... Are you familiar with how to raise your baby? Another I was speaking to wasn't even sure what it was quite yet.

[originalcopy]

Sort of? We managed with Junior back at the Gulch.

Honestly though, Doc did most of the work.

[im_the_doctor]

The Gulch?

I take it Doc's not here?

[originalcopy]

The shi...[right, he's not supposed to swear infront of kids. Does the alien spawn count as a kid? Meh, why not.]... lamest backwater section of the galaxy. I was stationed there the last time I had to deal with, well one of these.

No, and if we're lucky it'll stay that way.

[hasmommyissues]

Adorable aren't they?

[This voice ... dripping in sarcasm.]

[originalcopy]

Yeah, a real bundle of joy... [Crash, bang, bang]

[hasmommyissues]

I guess it would have been too much to ask for human children ... but as they say beggars can't be choosers.

[originalcopy]

That's what the castle usually does. [He actually misses his not-daughter... not that he'll admit it.]

Guess this time it decided to shake things up a bit.
