Chapter 165- A little star drops in

The Paperjam babybones (Star) has a blast at this new place.
Oneiro and Hearth are very much stressed and are grateful when things finally start to settle down once the odd babybones finally leaves.

(Another long collaboration with Firehedgehog with much more in the future 😸)

(Star is a babybones from my fic 'Splash of ink' with his pov in Chapter 49.)

"So your name is Star, how... exactly did you get through the wards?" Hearth asked, even if it was a child he didn't want random people in his home. They seemed to like eating his cutlery, he was now glad he had extra sets in storage.

No Oneiro he was not a Hoarder, anything he saved he usually donated.

They'd come through the portal alone.

"'Wards'? Is that a type of food?" Star said obliviously, purring as he munched a very yummy spoon and reaching a hand to grab a plate next.

He had just been trying to have fun and his magic took him somewhere very exciting, the food here rather filling.

"There a magical wall, that's suppose to keep people from entering. And no, wards are not to eat" Hearth replied, somehow managing to save his nicer plates from being eaten.

Star hummed thoughtfully as he munched a fork, looking at the odd numbers in his vision and poking the ones he guessed were the 'walls'.

...they looked really yummy but he remembered Creator telling him not to eat things he wasn't sure about, looking away sadly and cheered himself up with more cutlery.

"Seems silly." Was the babybones serious response, not seeing the point of them and giggling as his fingers poked the so called 'wards' and made them go wobbly.

"Seems silly to you, but there suppose to protect us which they can't do if you eat them" Hearth replied.

Star decided to leave the 'wards' alone after one last poke, the plates an excellent alternative in his opinion.

This monster had been nice and given him yummy food, deciding they were nice and maybe even a new friend.

"They truly have a large appetite.~" Oneiro was impressed at how much they were eating for such a small babybones, amused by how they were convinced to move off the table by just offering a plate.

"Why don't you and Karma go play Star" Hearth offered, he had to get more plates and cutlery out of storage.

Well that, and move the wards coding out of Stars sticky hands reach, He'd never met someone else with Code sight before, at least not on the same level as his own.

Well then, that just meant he had to tidy up the islands Codes so Star wouldn't play and adjust things to his liking.

Star grabbed an armful of cutlery and followed where the Codes said Karma was, wondering if he was going to get two new friends today.

"He is a little character. Any idea how he got in?~" Oneiro asked when the babybones left, the emotions coming off Star a tad headache inducing.

"He can see and adjust Codes like me, never ran across anyone else like me" Hearth said, then smirked as suddenly the Codes were all out of Stars reach and the little PJ type couldn't create or destroy on the island.

"You truly are a magnet for odd children.~" Oneiro half joked, seeing Code so easily and at such a young age wasn't exactly a common talent.

"I'm an odd child myself, but my skill was learned he was born with it. So.. don't be surprised if you feel me adjust the wards a few more times" Hearth shrugged, with the children outside they finally got a chance to clean the kitchen,
