Claire:He needs somewhere to sleep.
Kane:We have a couch.
Claire:Who willingly sleeps on a couch?
Kane:Hey, couch sleeps are pretty damn good.
Bea:I actually agree with that.
Claire:Well, we can't just make him sleep on the couch, Kane. He'll sleep in my room.
Kane:And where would you sleep?
Claire:Uhhh, also my room? There's enough room for two.
Kane:He's gonna sleep with you?!
Claire:Yeah. What's the problem with that?
Nyx:There's...problem?
Kane:I see a few things wrong with some guy I just met sleeping in the same bed as my sister.
Claire:*chuckles*Awww, I didn't know you were so protective of me, Kane.
Kane:You should know damn well that I am. Plus, it's too early for you two to be fucking, so I don't want him trying stuff.
Zeke:Kane!
Claire:*blushes*T-That's what you're concerned about!
Nova:*chuckles*
Claire:I'm not trying to have sex with him, Kane!
Kane:Well, I don't know that.
Nyx:Um...why would-
Claire:Don't get involved, Nyx. I'll handle him.
Kane:Hey! I'm just looking out for ya.
Claire:Kane, I'm a grown woman who raised your ass. I know what I'm doing, and Nyx is a gentle soul.
Zeke:*mumbles*He doesn't look like it, but she has a point.
Abby:I'm with Claire on this. Nyx wouldn't hurt a fly.
Kane:Even so, no one sleeps with my sister.
Claire:Kane, I'll be fine.
Nyx:I-I won't hurt Pretty Lady. I'm safe.
Kane:Hmmm...still don't trust ya, dude.
Zeke:And I thought I was the skeptical one.
Kane:What, I can't look out for my sister?
Claire:You know you absolutely can, Kane, but I know what I'm doing.

Kane crossed his arms and grumbled to himself. I giggled, then kissed his cheek.

Abby:It'll be fine, Kane. He won't do anything to her, I promise.
Kane:Still not convinced.
Abby:Pleaaase, Kane.
Kane:I'm keeping my foot down.
Abby:I'll have BeeBee dress me up like a goth.
Kane:Enjoy your stay, Nyx. Don't do anything too crazy.
Anna:*sighs and shakes head*
Nova:Would Zekey like-
Zeke:I'm not into goths.
Nova:Sooo...dressing up like a nun is fine?
Zeke:Also no.
Nova:*groans*Nova's getting very impatient with this.
Claire:Oooh boy...anyway, Nyx. I'll show you around while the kids do kid things.
Anna:*grunts*
Claire:I know you're about my age, Anna. I meant them.

April 3rd, Year 8

The elevator door opened, and I was greeted by music, lights, and a massive crowd. I stepped into Lusty's apartment, looking around for Kane while noticing all the strange substances all over the place. I found Lusty licking some sort of power off of Tony's chest and sheepishly walked up to her.

Abby:H-Hi, Lusty.
Lusty:Huh?..Abbyyy! What's up, girl? I didn't know you liked these types of parties.
Abby:I uh, I-I don't. Being here is actually making me pretty nervous...but uh...I was just wondering if Kane was here. He told me he was going to your place and I got a bit...lonely.
Gluttony:Yeah, he's over on the balcony with Bea doing some Third Eye. They looove the stuff.
Mist:Ahh, I believe that's the "candy" you found in his drawer that one time.
Abby:T-Thank you.
Lusty:Anytime, Abby. Kane's real damn lucky to have a girl like you.
Abby:*giggles*I think so, too.
Lusty:I know, right? I haven't met many girls like you that're chill with their boyfriends getting frisky with other girls.
Abby:Huh?..O-Oh...that.
Gluttony:I'm gonna head over to the bar and grab us some drinks, Babe. I'll be right back.
Lusty:Take your time, beefcake.

Tony stood up and made his way through the crowd while Lusty strutted up to me. She put her arm around my shoulder, then booped my nose.

Lusty:God, you can just smell the tension between those two sometimes. Ya feel me?
Abby:Uhhh, what do you mean?
Lusty:Kane and BeeBee, obviously. I thought you knew about it.
Abby:W-What about them?
Lusty:Come ooon, don't act like you don't know. You didn't know those two got it on a lot when it was just him living with her?
Mist:Ooooo, and the plot thickens.
Abby:What does...w-what does "get it on" mean?
Lusty:*chuckles*Ya know, they did a looot of drugs and body shots off each other. I've seen their tongues on each other more than a few times back when Kane was a huge party guy. He snorted some Angel Dust right off her ass once, then jumped off the balcony. That was fucking awesome.
Abby:...What's...what the heck is...I... huh?
Lusty:Then there was the time she made him share a shot kiss with her. I didn't think she had the balls to do it, but she fucking did.
Mist:Well, it appears that I was correct about their bond after all.
Abby:N-No...no, no he...she wouldn't... t-they...they...
Lusty:And then there was that video. That was a pleasant surprise.
Abby:...W-What video?
