            jasper squinted an eye closed when ryland flicked slime back at her, trying to rub it off of her cheek which only smeared more glue on her face. she snorted and started laughing, leaning into ryland again with her eyes closed. “you wouldn’t dare.. an even if you would, you wouldn’t be able to keep me down,” she says while lazily pointing at him before her hand plopped back into the glue while letting out another slow laugh. 
            
            she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at elias, head resting against ryland’s shoulder like she might fall face first into the glue if he moved her off. she gasped dramatically and pointed to him with a pout. “you can’t be a fun sponge /and/ claim our kitchen, munch..” she murmured, giggling as she lifted her head off of rylands shoulder. “maybe I outta.. duct-tape you to the ceiling! yeah.. an I’ll make you watch some really cringey movie, and..” she trailed off, her eyes dragging away toward the bottles on the floor. 
            
            she reached over and grabbed a bottle of saline solution and started pouring some of it into the glue of the floor, mixing it in to actually form the slime which would make it easier to clean up. once it started forming a cloud-like texture, she closed her eyes and smiled, tilting her head up as she played with the slime. “it’s so fluffy,” she muttered while giggling like a little gremlin.

            ryland rolled his eyes so hard they almost got stuck . “ team ? ” he echoed , feigning betrayal . when she smacked his head , he half-grinned and rubbed at the glue , snorting . “ yeah , yeah— menace in disguise . i’m the designated sanity officer , remember ? ” he flicked a smear of slime back at her , playful and fast . “ also , keep talking like that and i’ll actually duct-tape you to the patio for elias . just— don’t tell me i didn’t warn you . ” his tone was teasing, but the way he leaned in to prod her shoulder said he wasn’t going anywhere .
            
            elias watched them for a beat , arms folded , trying to look stern but failing when jasper leaned on ryland . “ you’re both impossible , ” he said , dry and measured . then , softer : “ but i wouldn’t miss it . ” he stepped forward and wiped a glob off the counter with a dish towel , handing it to ryland . “ fine . clean up . walls , floor , each other— don’t spread it to the couch . ” he paused , then added with a small , almost reluctant smile . “ and jasper ? if you so much as think about sleeping on my kitchen floor , i’m still duct-taping you . for your own good . ”

            jasper gave ryland a sidelong smirk, her head tilting back slightly as she watched him skeptically. “what happened to being a team, ah?” she snorted and reached a hand up, smacking her hand down on his head, getting glue in his hair. “you’re such a kiss ass! a menace in disguise!” she yelled dramatically while laughing. 
            
            when elias threatened about duct tape and patios, she grinned smugly and rested her elbow on ryland’s shoulder. “oohh, checkmate, grumpy. you wouldn’t keep me there for long.. you’d miss me too much,” she said with a mock innocent smile, leaning forward with her hands planted back into the glue. 
            
            she was focused for about two seconds before she looked back down at the glue and started lightly patting her hands against it, lifting up her hand to watch it drip down off the sides and back to the floor.

            jasper didn’t argue when he came over, she just climbed up into the chair when he pulled it over and listened to his instructions, wobbling to balance up while she stood up high on her toes. she had her tongue sticking out as her little fingers wiggled and stretched until she finally reached it, bursting into giggles immediately after as she slid down and plopped onto the chair once he hopped down from it. 
            
            she looked at him with a tilted head, watching him pose before she glanced at the tv and then turned her head when she caught the scent of the incense. she slid down out of the chair and stood up, looking up at him and mocking his finger wag. she pouted for a moment and then looked at the chair, pushing it up against the door so it was right under the door handle. “nuh uh.. he not believe us if we blame the tv,” she whines, turning to him with a pout. 
            
            she pointed to the back door like another mission they needed to conquer. “we blame cous! she has nap time with the tv all day!” she suddenly ran over to the other door, reaching up to lock this one as well. luckily this one was just a push to lock button. she then turned her head back to look at him. “we forgive anyway. he’s always big grumpy.” she giggles and points to her feet. “but now he’s big grumpy with pink socks and yummy snacks for us to eat.”

            ryland skidded to a stop in the doorway behind her , eyes huge and instantly alarmed. “ no— no , jaspie , don’t break the door ! i can help ! ” he squeaked , already darting for the nearest chair like it was a rescue ladder .
            
            he dragged it over with a grunt . too much hoodie , too little coordination , and scrambled up , wobbling like a pirate on a mast . “ okay , hold on— stand on your tiptoes , ” he instructed , serious as a tiny general . “ i’ll boost you , then you can super-lock it . ”
            
            when she climbed up on the chair with him doing a clumsy balancing act , he put both hands under her feet and heaved . “ push ! ” he whispered , face scrunched with effort . “ harder , boss ! be fierce ! ” 
            
            she hopped up and stretched , fingers finally brushing the latch . the bolt slid into place with a satisfying clunk . ryland whooped , nearly tumbling off the chair from excitement . “ yes ! fortress secured ! no grumpy giant gets in ! ”
            
            he hopped down and struck a dramatic pose , one hand over his heart . “ mission accomplished . now we hide and wait for snacks . and if eli opens the door anyway , we blame the tv— remember ? ” he waggled his finger conspiratorially , then lowered his voice into a whisper : “ also— if he brings extra snacks , we forgive him for being grumpy . ”

            jasper pushed herself back up to stand up, slipping over the sleeves as she fell forward and face planted into the clothes. she pouted and then started laughing, squirming about until she slipped out of the sweatshirt so she could have her hands free again. 
            
            she jumped up once like she was free and then furrowed her eyebrows, trying not to smile at his impression until she started giggling again when he wagged his finger about like that. “again? big grumpy man never had big socks! I would know ‘cause I make the socks pink!” she cheered while hopping about, stopping in her tracks once another thought popped into her head. 
            
            she tilted her head and looked at him, pointing to herself when he pointed at her before she nodded with kid seriousness. “bestest team!” she yelled, pivoting on her heels before she started running back out of the room, her feet pattering against the hardwood again until she made it to the front door.
            
            she stood up tall on her toes, her little hands fiddling with the lock on the door as she tries to make sure the door was locked. “if he try to open the door.. he’s gonna break it! then it’s all his fault ‘cause he broke the tv, too,” she murmured, trying to hop up and lock the other locks above the handle, but she couldn’t reach.

            winnie was stewing in her own giggles at this point. the more that ryland opened his mouth, the more she couldn’t help but laugh. she pointed to ryland and glanced sideways to lexi. “he seems more like a spymaster, but even the queen doesn’t know it yet,” she murmured quietly like she was trying to tell a secret. she lifted her head up with a playful look on her face, giving jasper a teasing smile. “mm. the devil never did like having equals.”
            
            reign leans forward in winnie’s mind, her voice beaming with mischief and pride mixed with playful banter. [yess, show your teeth, dove. the throne will be ours]
            
            jasper glanced back at elias toward the back of the couch, really looking at him this time, staring longer than usual. she shifts on the couch like she’s making room, leaning over and kicking off her boots before patting the spot beside her. “you walked into this mess, munch. don’t act like you stepped in blind.” 
            
            her eyes slowly slid over to ryland, half-lidded gaze watching smugly as he presented the chips despite his claims. she snorted and barked out a laugh at his final words, clutching her stomach and pushing her head back against the couch. “denial? please. you’re more like the king of projection.. deflection emperor.. wait, no that’s eli,” she muttered while tapping her chin. “the emperor of hypocrisy. yeah.”
            
            then she turned her head just enough to look at lexi and winnie, eyes narrowing skeptically at her cousin before she crossed her arms over her chest slowly while looking back at lexi. “at least you know you’re a clown. but uh.. my throne wouldn’t mean anything if it didn’t have my king.” she raised an eyebrow and smirked at them like she was proving a point. “‘cause I do have an equal. it’s just neither of you clowns.” 

@-STABBYBABY |
            
            elias huffed a quiet laugh from where he stood , running a thumb over the bridge of his nose as he stared at her lounging like she owned the world . “ you’re really milking this lucifer thing , huh ? ” he said , voice low but full of fond amusement . he leaned an elbow on the back of the couch beside her , gaze sharp but softening as he added . “ you might look better in the crown , babe , but i’m the poor bastard who has to keep you from tripping over it . ”
            
            ryland was halfway through another chip when jasper called out . he blinked , looked at her , then at the bag , and let out a flat , incredulous laugh . “ fetch you a snack ? what is this , satanic doordash ? ” he pushed off the counter and wandered over anyway , bag still in hand . “ you realize i’m not your butler , right ? ” he added , but he dropped the chips onto the table in front of her anyway before slumping down in a nearby chair . “ there . all hail the drunk queen of denial . may her reign be short and her hangover merciful . ”
            
            lexi nearly snorted into her sleeve at that , arm still draped lazily around winnie’s shoulders as she watched the entire scene unfold . “ oh , she’s in full villain monologue mode now , ” she said , smirking . “ next thing you know she’ll start assigning titles— elias , you’re her right-hand knight ; ryland , official royal snack fetcher . ” she tilted her head , grin growing wider . “ guess that makes me her jester . ”
            
            savage purred in the back of her mind , voice smooth and teasing . * every court needs its balance , little flame . the jester burns brightest when the devil sits proud . *
            
            lexi chuckled under her breath and shook her head . “ yeah , yeah , poetic as always , ” she muttered , glancing back at jasper . “ alright , your majesty , hydrate before you start handing out decrees . reign’s already planning the coronation . ”

@v-violetskies /
            
            winnie stifled a laugh into her hands and leaned over when lexi’s arm came around her shoulders. “mhm.. would you care for a glass of water, your majesty?” she asks while bowing her head, her cheeks pushed out like she was holding back a laugh as she leaned into lexi. 
            
            reign hums with ferocious delight. [you’ve dragged the small one into your act, chaos brat. she will be a suitable disciple to the throne]
            
            jasper glanced to the side smugly while she tapped a hand against the couch before looking at winnie. “my darling chauffeur—the only one around here with a shred of style. sugar, spice, and just the right amount of sin. I accept your offer. you’re such a doll.” 
            
            she then leaned back further and crossed her legs and propped them up onto the table in front of the couch. she gave elias a playfully smug smirk and crossed her arms behind her head. “you can try, sweetheart, but I do look better in it than anyone else,” she said while raising her chin with a confident flare. 
            
            her eyes then flick back to lexi while raising an eyebrow, tilting her head like she was just presented a challenge. “my dear, the only thing in flames is the competition tonight, and oh wait—every night.” she flashed a charming smile and sat up, setting her feet down on the floor. “but I appreciate you warming my seat on the throne. must have felt marvelous thinking you had it all. at least for a little while, anyway.” 
            
            she leans back against the couch again and peeks out into the kitchen at ryland. “oh, did you say something?” she asks with a teasing smirk and a head tilt. “fetch me a snack before I do something undignified, like get it myself.”
