[ Morning broke over the Ortus tower. It was like any other morning. Okay, that was a lie. It was unlike any other morning.
Evangeline, cursed vampire and retired villain-without-equal, rolled over in her sleep. Her bed was full of stuffed animals, and sometimes her stupid Beartic tried curling up on one side as well. So even though the bed was far too large for the little girl, she didn’t find anything odd when her arm ended draped over something.
Except that something wasn’t her bear. Or a stuffed animal. ]
Nnnn... more cupcakes......
[ While it might not have been alarming to wake up next to a random girl in Paradisa, one coming in contact with him while he’s sleeping is definitely enough to wake Jr. with a very alarmed start. ...And more so when he turns his head to see a not-so-random face next to his after all.
But he barely has the chance to sit up and shove her away, before someone else’s cry interrupts his. A little girl’s cry...and it’s being accompanied by the nearby television turning on loudly all of the sudden, the sound of a movie’s gunfire only made worse by the 5-year-old’s screams. ]
WHAT’S GOING ON?! WHO ARE YOU? AND WHO’S THAT?! DAD. DAAAAD.
[ Evangeline blinks awake. Well, it’s easy to wake up when you’re shoved off the bed and there’s the sound of gunshots coming from somewhere. Oh, and the screaming. ]
Okay, you have five seconds to explain what’s going on before I get upset that I’ve been shoved out of my bed. [ She pulls herself up and smooths her nightee, looking over at Jr., then to the source of the other screams. She was preeeeetty sure that that side door wasn’t there before, and she doesn’t recognize the two little girls standing at that door either. ] And who the kids are.
[ Before he can think up an answer that doesn’t involve telling her to go jump out the tower window, the slightly older red-headed toddler shoves away the blonde one and runs over to the bed, ignoring the giant animal in the room. She bounces right onto it and onto Jr., knocking him back against the headboard. ]
Ow, jeez...! I can’t believe this! What do you think is going on, Eva? It’s May! Do the damn math!
[ Which means his joy at seeing Selena is quickly overshadowed when he looks over at the other kid standing nearby. Horror is dawning on him. It’s instant, being able to feel her wavelength the same way he can Selena’s, or any URTV’s. And suddenly he wants to throw up. ]
No no no...
[ Eva looks to the kid still at the door, doing much the same as Jr. did and feels her aura. It’s dark, sinister. Undead. Yup, just like her. Then she looks back to Jr. ] I’d rather have Colette again.
[ ooc: Yes, the journals were open for the whole thing. The whole. Thing. ]

action forever;
Well, we were just fine without you, too!
[ But he doesn't want to say more, too aware of the other kid in the room. No matter what, he's not going to punish her. No matter how much the very idea of a vampire/URTV hybrid disturbs him. Also yeah that TV is still blaring.
He mutters, tense and doing his best not to lash out at Eva, while climbing out of the bed and pulling Selena with. He'd take the time to ask the castle for a shirt and shoes and everything but escaping this situation suddenly feels very urgent. Maybe he's wrong and that other kid isn't his. Maybe Selena's tantrum is just throwing his sensors out of whack. ]
Selena, turn that off! And don't worry, we'll be out of your hair in no time flat.
forEVerrrr
[ Eva glances over, not toward Jr., and not toward Selena, but to the other kid. The vampy one. She looks like Eva, what with the blond hair and blue eyes. And she can feel the vampirism dripping off her aura.
Maybe this is her and Colette's kid? From last time? It'd been eight years for Eva, so those kinds of memories were still fuzzy.
And it would be a hell of a lot better than the alternative. ]
So, uh... you are....?
[ The girl looks to Jr., then to Eva. Then she runs over to Evangeline. But just as she's about to breathe a sigh of relief- ] Mommy? Where's daddy going?
[ Well. Fuck. ]
Re: forEVerrrr
[ Awkwardly, he rubs at the tattoo on his arm while trying to think. Which is hard when he has Selena whining out-loud, in his head, and he can also sense the two little girls having some sort of psychic conflict. If the expressions aren't enough of a clue, the air's practically electric to Jr. He can't hear what they're saying, if they're even using words, but their wavelengths are synchronized. It's harmonious while still being violent, and it's all invisible to the naked eye. ]
Okay, okay, chill! Selena, you need to be, um...polite, and not talk like that. And you two cut it out, I can't think with whatever you're doing.
We need to...get dressed. [ Yeah, that's a sane first step, right? Normal. He can tolerate Eva for a few more minutes, at least. He can try. ]
And eat something.
no subject
I'd recommend something that covers her up for.... [ What's even her name? Eva gestures toward her kid. ] ...her. Vampires and sunlight don't mix very well.
Actually, nevermind. Worry about the loud one. I'll get her dressed. [ Evangeline takes her hand and leads her over to what is apparently the kids' room. Because hey, that's where their clothes would be.
...If not, Eva's pretty sure she has some spare outfits around that would fit her.
And yes, Eva decided they're both tagging along. Because like Hell is Eva going to watch her alone if she's Jr.'s kid too. ]
1/2
Still, the comment about sunlight is unnerving. He doesn't have anything against the Undead per-se, but he's had no good experiences involving vampires; Eva especially. It's nerve-wracking, to think there's someone made out of him that's also partially...that. How can that possibly work?
Wondering if the Doctor wmight do a test on her like he had Selena, Jr. looks down to her and sighs. At least he doesn't need to speak anymore, just using their connection to tell her to follow after Eva and go pick out an outfit to bring back for him to put on her. Because there is no way he's letting Eva dress her. She would go way overboard on everything.
While they do that, he quickly wishes up some clothes from his castle room, regretting that he doesn't have his guns with him. He'd left them by his sleeping bag— ]
no subject
Oh damnit, Freya! I left her out there!
no subject
[ That's the last he'll hear from Eva for a bit. Selena goes back to Jr. with an outfit of some sort - the kind she'd usually wear - while Eva and the other kid (can't she have a name yet?) come out about ten minutes later. The little(r) girl is dressed up in whites and reds in an almost Victorian dress, with stockings and gloves to match, and a large hat, and a parasol. Eva's not taking any chances.
Eva actually nods towards Jr., then looks over at her handiwork. ] I figure if she's so vulnerable that even this isn't enough, I can just blot out the sun for a few days. [ ...It doesn't sound like she's joking. ]
no subject
At the commentary, Jr. rolls his eyes and stands back up, shutting his journal while Selena runs over and tentatively offers her sunglasses to the smaller girl. ]
Just put sunscreen on her. If she is ours, she can't be a weakling.
[ At least that much is guaranteed... Which is why he really hopes the girls get along. It's bad enough the 'parents' can't. This is probably the most civil they've ever been to one another for so long... ]
Hey kiddo, you got a name?
no subject
[ Eva looks back towards the little(r) girl. The girl shakes her head at Eva too. Then she shoots a glare over at Selena for something she said psychically. Eva doesn't even bother trying to interpret that one. ] So no name, huh? That's awkward. I'm not going to call you "kid" this whole time. [ She doesn't even blink as an eight-foot tall polar bear with giant icicles hanging from its chin wanders over, a small tube of sunscreen awkwardly held in its massive clawed paws. ] So I guess it's up to me to figure out a good one...
no subject
...Maybe she's making fun of the obscenely frilly outfit. Jr has dressed her up in rather girly outfits in the past, but nothing like that. Still, he doesn't like the idea of bullying, so he shoots Selena a calming vibe and hopes she takes it to heart. He can tell she's really just upset that Suu still isn't here, and now it seems her mom's even been replaced.
Shaking his head, Jr. finishes zipping up his boots and pulls on his jacket. It doesn't really matter how warm it is to someone like him. ]
Up to you? I don't think so. Suu and I named Selena together, so it should be the same this time. It's bad enough you just turned her into an even tinier version of you.
[ Granted, both Jr. and Eva had blue eyes, but it didn't keep her from looking mostly like her...mom. Although the URTVs all originally had blond hair as well...like his father. ]
no subject
[ She seems to consider her new daughter for a moment as she hands the sunscreen back to her pokémon, who takes it back to wherever. She gently adjusts the girl's hat, then speaks up. ] How about Evangeline?
no subject
This is just Eva having an ego the size of Fifth Jerusalem. ]
That's your name! But he calls you a witch.
[ COUGHING and clearing his throat, resting a hand on Selena's shoulder and pulling her back to his side. Whatever, Jr.'s dislike of Eva is no secret, but it's kind of embarrassing when a toddler announced that. ]
I'm not calling her Eva, too. Where's your imagination? Let's just grab a book of names and take it with us. I can make sure she ends up with something awesome, but pretty.
no subject
[ She side-eyes Jr. a bit at his suggestion, though. ] So Eva's no good, even though your daughter just admitted you never call me that anyway. And it lacks imagination, so you want to look in a baby name book. Sounds like it must take a lot of thought and effort. That's being awfully creative right there.
no subject
[ You know it's...fifty fifty, yeah. He just shrugs and rolls his eyes. ]
The book is just for ideas, you— [ UURGH he's trying so hard. Keep it PG! ] witch. You've lived long enough and I know enough history and lore that if we find a name that has a good meaning, we'll recognize it.
no subject
But then she crosses her arms, putting a bored expression on instead. ] Fine, fine. We can look in a book.
no subject
[ HE HAS ENOUGH BAD MEMORIES INVOLVING AN EVA BEDROOM...
And taking that as the go-ahead, Selena is already off, the door swinging open for her with just a thought before she darts off down the hall. Jr. barely has the chance to grab his journal again before moving after her jeeez. ]
no subject
Eva makes her way behind her, making sure not to fall behind. Even being in the body of a ten year old, she still had enough height advantage over her daughter to keep up without looking like she was rushing much. ]
no subject
The drawback is that he hasn't given much thought to where they should go to eat. He's tempted to just go to the house, but he isn't sure he wants to unleash Eva on his sanctuary just yet. ...If at all, ever.
So he nearly ends up tripping right over Selena as she screeches to a halt and points to the cafe in front of them. Catching the book before it can fall on her head, he looks down at her while regaining his bearings. Bduhhh? ]
I want cupcakes!
