For the delay here's another long chapter.
Enjoy!

Liu was so tired. The entire week he'd been chasing Sally around, arguing with group members, and facing the most difficult victems he'd ever had the displeasure to kill.
So he was napping. Taking the deepest nap he'd ever taken. He was sleeping so soundly, and so deeply, this almost seemed too good to be real. He let his mind flutter and his body sink into the comforting cavern called his mattress.
And, Liu not being surprised, he was snapped violently out of his twilight zone to the loud crack of a table and loud laughter. He sighed angrily. Slightly regretting needing to, he climb out of bed and walked out to the source of the noise. He came to the den where sally and Jeff were standing innocently. Liu sighed.
"Someone wanna explain?" He scuffed. Jeff and sally looked at each other, then back at Liu, then frantically started to explain what happen all at once.
"I was trying to watch TV and Jeff snatched the remo--"
"No! I was trying to check the channel for something so I could watch it in my room and she--"
"Nuh uh! You snatched it and hit me so--"
"You hit me first!"
"Did not!"
"Ok, enough!" Liu screamed. Jeff and sally got quiet and looked at him. He rubbed his temples in frustration.
"Can some explain, how the table broke?" Liu huffed.
"Jeff slammed me on it." Sally answered.
"Jeff?!"
"What?! She wouldn't let go of the remote!"
"Did you forget about her back, jackass?!"
"op."
Liu ran over and inspected Sally's earlier wounded back, which was now covered in dripping blood piercing firmly through her shirt. Liu gasped and ordered sally to the bathroom.
"Liu i--"
"bup bup." Liu interrupted sternly, "you and her? No. None of this."
"Liu, I just--"
"None. Of this."
Liu walked sally along to the door. She stuck her tongue at Jeff, who then preceded to flip her off in response.

Liu could tell today would be one of those childish days. A day when everyone just decides to act like kids in a daycare. And he wasn't sure if he had the mental capacity to deal with it. Not today. His point was proven when he heard another loud bang of destruction come from upstairs.
"What was that?" Liu yelled, annoyed.
"Not a vase." He heard Jane yell back. Investigation. He walked up the stairs to see Jane and Sadie standing there, innocently.
"Oh, god, just-- where is it?" Liu sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. Jane and Sadie glanced behind them and Liu walked over. On the ground was, not one, but two broken vases. Liu grunted angrily and stormed downstairs. He soon returned with a broom and dustpan, which he proceeded to the girls.
"Clean this up, and find something else to do. Something that won't destroy my property." He instructed. Jane opened her mouth to say something but before she could get a sound out he stopped her.
"No, nope. None of this." He said. Jane and Sadie sighed before they started cleaning. Liu walked away.

Liu was finally relaxing a little. It wasn't even 5 o'clock and already, a dozen things in the house have broken down. He was silently praising himself for lasting this long, keeping his spirits up. But he was desperately afraid Sally would make him bring up his signature phrase again. She was twirling around and cartwheeling through the living room as Liu slouched on the couch. Every furious swing of her legs was another violent throbbing towards liu's head. Terrified she'd break something, either an object or herself, Liu spoke.
"Sally, honey, please stop flipping around." He sighed. Sally stopped and responded with a quick "ok" then went over to the couch and sat next to Liu.
"I have a question." She stated, "will you explain something to me?" Liu sighed, then nodded.
"What do you want me to explain?"
"Where do babies come from?"
Liu froze. Alright, now this was serious. Sally was almost 7 so he guessed that she had a right to know. He straightened himself out and faced her, looking at her innocent little face.
"Sally," he started heavily, "when a man and woman lov--"
"I'll explain it." Toby said, walking into the den.
"No thanks, Toby." Liu said through gritted teeth, "I think I got it."
"Aww, but you'd think I'd know a lot about this stuff." Toby whined.
"Toby..!"
"Liu shush." Toby walked over and sat between Liu and sally.
"Sally listen." Toby started, pulling sally onto his lap.
"Toby, I swear to Christ.."
"Huuuusshh, Liu! So. Sally, right?" Sally rolled her eyes, "yeah. So anyway. Guys..or boys, rather. We have these things called dicks. And girls, your little private parts are called vaginas. I prefer guys, but whatever. If I guy puts his--"
"Ok! That's enough." Liu screamed. He grabbed Toby by his ear and dragged him out the den.
"Ow! Hey! I was just answer--"
"OP. No," Liu sized him up with his finger, "none of this."
He walked back to Sally and explained where babies come from..properly.
"Oh...ew." Sally commented.
"Yeah, its pretty gross." Liu giggled.
"Its also pretty hot." Jeff commented as he walked by the dens entrance. Liu sighed angrily before telling sally to go to her room.

It was finally midnight. Finally time for everyone to be asleep. But no. Everyone decided to stay up and play the kinect Jeff had just stolen from a household. Liu was in the living room, trying to draw. But he couldn't concentrate. He stood up and walked to the den where everyone, except Diane and sally..and masky, were shouting and moving their bodies wildly.
"Go left, dammit!!" Jeff screamed.
"I don't think its tracking me." Jane added. More comments filled the air and Liu just stood there and watched. Then he smiled. God, he hated this house. But he also loved the shit out of everyone who lived here.
And even though today was a handful of headaches, he was still happy at the end of it.
