Tears from a stone.
WHO: Emeth and her not!Dads and then emeth and whoever visits
WHAT: Event 14 fallout
WHEN: Latter half of May
WHERE: Izzy and Wukong’s Castle
WARNINGS: Vampire attacking a child, blood, and the emotional fall out of that
[Vampire attack] (Closed to Mike and Wukong)
Emeth shouldn’t be up this late, but Wukong had already seen her on the network and Rinku had suggested she get candles for light. Since there was no way Emeth was going to be able to go to sleep while the Moon was missing she decided to go looking for candles. At least she had her phone to light the hallway.
Tiny of course was tagging along, there was no way he would leave her side when she was clearly shaken by the moon’s vanishing not to mention the rest of the light disappearing right along with her.
So when Tiny started growling Emeth froze, quickly putting her hand over the phone to try and hide the light.
Only to realise Tiny had been growling at something behind her.
“Tooooooo late~”
Tiny lunged, growing bigger as he attacked the vampire, only for him to rip off one of the toy dog’s legs. That didn’t stop the dog from snapping at the intruder though. One of them at least.
“Awww no blood?” The first vampire taunted.
“What’s taking you so long,” A second scolded.“Shut that thing up and the snack before they-”
Emeth screamed, once, the female vampire had thrown her against the wall before she could draw breath for a second one.
“Shut. Up.”
“I don’t know, maybe we should let her scream, she could call our dinner to us.”
Emeth flailed panicking, not because she couldn’t breath, but at the thought of anyone coming to help only to get hurt too. Everyone had been so kind, they couldn’t get her because of her! They couldn’t!
It would be even worse than when her mother-
The incomplete thought sent such a jolt of terror though her that the seal on her fear shattered and Emeth acted without thinking. Her body turning into a ball to protect her crystal heart and the clay surfacing hardening.
“What the hell…”
The second vampire touched the apparent stone ball Emeth had turned into. At feeling the cold hand on her sharp spikes stabbed out, cutting through the vampire in several places. Wounding it and trapping I at the same time.
“Argh… pull me free…” The second vampire begged her ally.
[Might as well be talking to a rock.] (OPEN)
After Wukong and Mike had found Emeth and Tiny, they had cleaned her up and sewed Tiny back together.
Emeth however was still a spiky ball still too shaken by the attack and the shattering of yet another seal on her heart.
Wukong and Mike of course had done everything they could to make her feel safe, eventually they decided maybe hearing more friendly voices might help and asked friends to visit her for a little bit.
She was placed in the downstairs living room for visitors, candles sitting on top of the TV and table casting a warm glow despite the darkness outside.

[But as Katsuki continued, bringing Mike up, reminding her that he was strong enough to save both of them. But her
Spikes might get in the way of that.
And so, the all crumbled away the dust they left behind shifting to form words]
‘What is Dad’s Day?’
no subject
It's a holiday. It's a day where you're s'posed to appreciate your dad and grandpa and stuff.
[Katsuki never really celebrated father's day OR mother's day, though... his parents didn't connect with him very easily, so he never really felt like he should bother. His mom probably would find a reason to complain about whatever it is he ended up doing for her.]
There's a day for moms too, but I'm pretty sure it passed already.
no subject
'Mother said I don't have a dad.'
[Someone hasn't quite put it together that she's been adopted.]
'But can I still help?'
no subject
'course you can. Maybe you don't have a biological dad, but Mike still considers you one of his kids you know?
[Katsuki will shift from kneeling next to her to sitting down, getting comfy.]
You ever heard of a "foster family"?
no subject
[Emeth's mother has put a lot of work, with both manipulation and magic, into making sure Emeth is totally loyal to her and her alone. That work is slowly unravelling thanks to Sun Wukong and Mike, but it is slow going.]
'No?'
no subject
A foster family is a family that takes in kids who need a break from their biological one. It's a family that's s'posed to be nicer than your own, who can teach you what it's like to be loved by good parents and have siblings to mess around with.
[This is how Katsuki's been rationalizing his newfound family in Ellipsa, for himself. It felt weird to call someone not related to him "dad" at first. But after thinking about it like a foster situation, it feels more natural and makes sense even.]
My mom and dad back home aren't the best at being parents. And because of that I was growing up to be a bad person. That's why I need to take a break from them, and let someone nice and cool like Mike be my dad for a little while. So I can grow into a better person instead. And so I can learn stuff that my dad won't teach me.
[In this case, his teachers back home were the ones who "fostered" him from his parents and helped him grow into a good person for real. Mike's just the cherry on top-- teaching him what he has left to learn that his teachers didn't touch on. (like how romance is okay, actually)]
Does that make sense? Mike's not trying to replace my dad for real. He's just looking after me during this break away from home, and the same goes for you.
You're his foster kid. Just like me.
no subject
'Not nicer than Mother!'
[Oops, maybe saying foster families were nicer than your own was the wrong thing to say.]
'But mother's not here.'
'So I think Mother will be okay with a foster Dad. '
'Or Two. Monkey King looks after me too.'
'If I help you with Mike, can you help me do something for Monkey King too?'
'Please.'
