"The Moppet Family - Same Family, New Thread..."

[christyb]

Eh... It's your life, thought you'd care Sis.

Yeah well things change...oh yeah you probably don't know what's going on do you?

 

[Erine81981]

Herb: Oh um, Hi, I'm Herb, a freind of Beau's... and I really don't know why I am following you ... do you know?

Beastley Kyle: Not really. But you better come along. I don't want them U-Mans after you too. You aren't spoused to talk! *thumps Ron on the head and picks up Hurb*

Human Biggy: *waking up* Uh...ummmm...*rubbing head*.....what's happening here?

Beastley Kyle: Oh nothing but that! *points to a bridge which has been destroyed*

Human Biggy: How are we going to get across now?

Night falls upon the active village of the Moppets... Various bonfires litter the dirt roads which once used to be paved streets of good intentions. The remaining U-Mun fighters have taken refuge at indiscriminate spots, seeking a cease to their woes and worries. Members of the Moppet Family lay scattered about the master stronghold, either encarcerated or vainly attempting to continue their resistance alive. The U-Mun chieftain has taken Christy/Nicki prisoner, though still treating her with a gruff civility in the fleeting hopes to get the one thing he wishes most...

Will Headmistress appear to wave off the U-Mun hordes back into oblivion?
Will Christy rue the day she ever laid eyes on that terror from down below?
And what about the soul of the fair Isabelle Cole, how shall it ever be untangled from the selves of her sister-in-paw and dear husband?

For the answers to these and even more MopFam plotholes spiralling out of control...
Tune in on Monday... Same MopFam time, same MopFam channel.

Mother sits in an the same location she was first held captive dressed like her pirate self propped up against the wall looking through the one window to the surface....

Christy: Just when you think you know a guy. He told me he had no secrets. We shared everything! *sighs* Hey guard? Got anything to lift my spirits in here? No? I thought not.

--

Meanwhile back at the surface, Vanessa is camped out in her green mustang the top is now up in some small form of protection...

Vanessa: *on a cell phone* Mom it's crazy. I show up here and there's these ugly things all over the place and everyone is fighting with swords and there's blood everywhere. Oh yeah and get this Parker is now married to the legendary pirate Nicky! Yeah, that old story I used to love...she's real. Wellll I don't think she hates me. Only the fact that she had no idea I existed. Yeah, no clue at all. I mean even you told Dad about me. Well Nicky isn't too happy. The last I saw of her she gave him a few well placed kicks, punches, and a cannon ball. Ummhmm...yes I'll umm remember to brush my teeth. Yes Mom. I'll be careful. Sure I'm in a hotel. Parker? Well I talked for him for a minute or two...uhhh sure. He's just as you remember. Oh is he sick again? Earache? Well give my little brother a kiss for me. I love you to Mom. Bye. *clicks phone off and looks out towards the bonfires* Should I tell her the truth.......Nah.

*Food tray with warmed hot chocolate gets pushed into the elaborately ornate cell where Christy/Nicki's being kept.

Christy: *eyes it suspiciously* Either you saw what just happened to me with my newly found stepdaughter and feel sorry...or you're out to posion me. *sighs and walks over to the platter just inside the bars. She picks it up and absentmindedly fingers at the food. She turns and leans with her back against the bars. Christy looks up at the window and watches the stars and the moon full and glowing still outside. She takes a look at the food and shrugs* Oh well, it can't get much worse than this. A guard uglier than sin. Hidden affairs in what I thought was a secret free relationship, a 18 year old too gorgeous for her own good stepdaughter, and a brother that well has been turned into a monster, a sister-in-law split in half between me and the monster, a figure from the past that's supposed to be dead...ever wish things were normal for you eh guard? No? Oh well....bottom's up. * Christy begins eating*

 

[The Count]

*Soft piano music warbles in on the wind... Conveying Christy's troubles, washing them down only to bring them back up again in a garbled bubbling drainy sort of foam.
*OOC: Song cue, if you happen to have one in you Sis.

OCC: Considering "Another Opening" just popped up on my itunes? hehe give me a sec and I'll come up with something a little more appropriate. And now Mother's musical debut! The first is "One Little Star" from "Follow that Bird" the second is a Mopfam spin on Mark Schultz's "Do You Even Know Me"

Christy tosses the empty platter to the side and begins humming. She closes her eyes and in her mind's eye she sees her three toddlers bouncing and getting ready for bed...

One little star, all alone in the sky
Do you ever get lonely as the twilight drifts by?

One little star, in the darkening blue
Do you long for another just the way that I do?

*stops singing* Ugh who am I kidding? *She drags the lone wooden stool over and stands so she can see outside. Her eyes are level with the ground. She scans the bonfires until she sees Father warming himself beside Herb and a few others at one fire. From somewhere a song escapes*

It's cold tonight, Can you hear me say
I watch out the window as you came home late
I try to smile, but look away
Can you even see the tears were running down my face
She said you go to work, you pay the bills
I stay at home and I make the meals

But you don’t even know who I am anymore
You’re a million miles away though I see you everyday
And I’ve been waiting right here over all these years
And sometimes I get so lonely; I need to know you love me
But do you even know me anymore

Do you even see our son?
I remember his first birthday, now you don't even see him gone
You missed his life, You missed all of us
Oh to him you're a man just living down the hall
He said I learned to live without you dad
But I’d give it all just know you

But we don’t even know you are anymore
I used to wait all the kids games, but still you never came
And I’ve been waiting right here over all these years
For the time you said you'd owe me, I wanted you to show me
Who you even are

I watch the days turn into years
And now I’m wondering how I wound up here
I dreamed my dreams I made my plans
But all I’ve found is a stranger hiding behind the man I thought I knew

And I don’t even know who you are anymore
God I'm praying through the tears, let me make up for these years
Do I need to I start again
Do you even want me, I’m beggin’ you to show me
But do I even know you anymore?

The song ends as Christy Nicola O'Connor Cole Dimtri Moppet wipes her tears and steps down from the stool. She sits down and lies her head back, closing her eyes and waiting for morning.

Father: *rubs his wrists where he'd been manicalled to the wall, and then roughly tossed outside by a bonfire* Monster-that-used-to-be-next-door-neighbour-etc, can you take care of Herb and watch the knocked out Ron for me? I've got something I need to do. No! Not that! Yeah...I need to get back in the castle, and I think I know just how to do it. You'd better stay here. *creeps away towards the green car belonging to his daughter*

 

[christyb]

Vanessa: *in her car sleeping, moans then rolls over one eye opens to spot a face staring at her through her window.* Yaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Get away from my car you freak!
