Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.
We happily accept all role-players as long as they obey the rules and are capable of meeting our word count of 50. This does include those who are unfamiliar with this style of role-playing.

Summer 2024
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!
Emilia woke up pretty early for the most part. Her bed, with high posts, sat in a bedroom that was surrounded almost entirely by glass. A glass roof, and very large glass windows that made up 3, out of the 4 walls. The Bed sat in the middle, staring out into the backyard. The house itself was very large, all one floor, exception being the basement. The house was fairly empty aside from a few pieces in the bedroom, and kitchen. The living room was fairly empty, and the dining room, guest room, were all fairly empty. Most of the house was carpeted, and Emilia had at least 3 roombas for most of the carpet vacuuming. Although she did the basement stairs herself. The kitchen was the only room that was actually tiled. It was tiled with a nice design with a diamond within a square, but made from a real type of marble.
The bedroom also had a large desk with many monitors sitting on the thing, all connected to one large pc. There were at least 3 monitors sitting on the desk, and the pc was connected not only to the three monitors, but a monitor in the kitchen as well.
Emilia woke up fairly early because she knew that at the very least Adonai was coming over to help her move some things. She was waiting on a truck to arrive with some furniture that they would have to move around a bit. They weren't going up or down stairs, at least today, and sure she could of afforded some muscly men to help with the move but having family join you was a good way to keep the familial bonds strong right? The first thing she did when waking up was touch up her roots in the bathroom off to the side of the bedroom. She brushed her hair a little bit first, but then applied her root touch up. When she was happy with that she used the mirror to start brushing the rest of her extremely long hair. The smell of the root-touch up lingered in the bathroom, as it was fairly potent stuff. This early in the morning was the roombas start cycle, so the sound of vacuuming echoed throughout the houses rooms. Each roomba had a name tag specifying it's name. Mr Draper covered her bedroom, Betty covered the dining room which is carpeted, and Steven who covered the living room.
The cycles would last for at least 45 minutes or so, she just hoped they would be off and charging for when Adonai arrived. She ran to the walk in the closet after passing Mr Draper in the bedroom. She threw on her favorite white and purple dress, but kept her feet free from any socks. They were well groomed feet, so she had no worries about showing them off. She headed back to her bedroom to make her bed. The bed itself had a dark frilled black cover on it, with a white sheet, and white pillows. After making the bed she headed off into the kitchen and began making her breakfast.
Emilia wanted something simple, quick and easy, Adonai was coming to help with the move so she needed to be able to eat it quickly too. She decided on a favorite. Mr Noodle. She quickly microwaved some water, and began rummaging through her Mr Noodle packs. She pulled out spicy chicken, and opened the thing into a bowl. Opening the flavor packet to dump into there as well. When the bowl of water was done microwaving she poured it into the bowl containing the noodles. She then put a plate ontop of the bowl, and let it sit there to steam. She glanced over to notice Betty chugging along in the dining room.
"Atta girl~"
She yawned, having a small monitor in the kitchen she turned the thing on to showcase some of the stocks she owned, and how much they went up or down. Happy with the days forecast so far, she switched off the monitor. Today was not a work day, but a family day, and a busy day getting some of the furniture into the house.
[attr="class","pwfbody"] Plush grass cushioned each of her paws as she ran, the sun beating down on her snowy white fur. Felicity had always loved these runs. The way the morning dew still clung to each blade of grass. The sleepiness of nature as it struggled to wake up to another day. Quiet. Solace. Peace. These were the things any usagi could appreciate. [break][break]
Perhaps it wasn’t the smartest choice to get to Emilia’s, but it certainly was one of the faster ones. In fact, when she arrived at Emilia’s new place it seemed that she’d even beaten Adonai there. A small error on her part, especially if her sister was still slumbering within. Padding up to the door, Felicity’s ears twitched with the sudden movement of a nearby bird but otherwise it seemed benign enough. [break][break]
Well, maybe a little sun soak was in order.[break][break]
The snowy white rabbit stepped onto the matt before the door and, in characteristic happy rabbit form, sank down onto the matt with one great flop. A quick yawn followed by an outstretch of paws and Felicity was lounging comfortably, letting the morning dew that clung to her fur dry in the growing rays of the morning sun. [break][break]
What a lovely day for some family time! As much as she wanted to close her eyes she didn’t: who knew if there was a family cat about looking for a morning snack. She did, however, allow herself to close one eye and slowly blink the other in content.

[attr="class","cobbody"]Through the traditional habits of a work day, Adonai managed to rouse during the early hours from his slumber. Following the strict wake up protocol laid upon himself became less of a challenge with every bundle of joy added to the Blane Family. With eight children filling a 28-15 age range, the merman hastily learned the definition of operating on low fuel when required. Although, things went rather well in regards to the sleeping schedule. At the expected time he slumbered alongside his beloved husband, Nitzan.
Through the years of their marriage and family life, waking next to his husband was considered proper. Regularly, they woke together every morning, however, given the circumstances of his early rousing, he wanted to leave his husband to rest. The amount of work his beloved Nitzan accomplished made him deserving of those luxuries. Thus, despite the weariness captured in his bones, Adonai sat up from the comforters. The green-haired man brought his arms up in a large, back-arching as a soft groan rumbled from his throat.
After a soft yawn, his green eyes drifted over the scene of their bedroom, moving to the form laying beside him. A grin traced the merman's lips as his eyes laid upon his husband. Perhaps sleeping or resting his eyes, but nonetheless peaceful in his slumber. Carefully, Adonai leaned over, a gentle hand touching Nitzan's hip. He gazed at his face for a few moments before bringing his lips close. Softly, he kissed the side of the redhead's forehead in a sign of secret affection.
"Sleep well, honey," he whispered, keeping his voice quiet enough to avoid Nitzan waking.
As he pulled away, satisfied with what he had done, he remembered the tasks of the day. His younger sister, Emilia, required assistance in moving furniture around her new home and as the eldest brother, Adonai considered it a duty to assist her. Rather than hire movers, his purple-haired sister decided to hire family under the prestigious name of Blane family bonding. Well by name and marriage, Nitzan constituted as a Blane, it was designed specifically for the siblings. After everything that happened, those birthed beneath their war-centric father enjoyed gathering together for some quality bonding.
Silently, Adonai slithered from bed, carefully pulling the covers back up to assure Nitzan's warmth and comfort through the remainder of his slumber. Clockwork movements allowed Adonai to swiftly get changed, pulling on a basic pair of pants and shirt. If they were moving furniture through the day, the merman wished to avoid getting his favoured clothing covered in filth and sweat. Once dressed, Adonai descended the stairs, heading into the kitchen to make a quick breakfast of toast. Hastily, he devoured his food and sipping some tea.
When everything was finished, Adonai hurried out the door and left in his vehicle. Already, his family was notified of his absence for the day. He never kept them in the dark, especially during days when he would be leaving before they woke. Gradually, he made his way through the city streets, avoiding a rush. The furniture still required delivering and if he received the correct times, he had enough time to take his leisure. As he approached Emilia's new home, the green-haired man pulled to the curve further from the home than expected.
A moving struck filled with furniture would be arriving, therefore, Adonai wished to provide them room. As one of Emilia's "hired" help, he wanted to assure his sister's furniture entered the home without any concerns. He exited the vehicle, shutting the car door and locking it behind him. Quietly, he walked up the sidewalk, approaching the residence. The merman walked up the path to the front door. As his green eyes scanned the entrance, he noticed the snow-white rabbit situated on the welcome mat. The small creature was hastily recognized because of his family tree and familiarity with the form.
"Good morning, Fel," he greeted upon his approach. "How are you this morning?"
Some would provide a curious glance at a man speaking to a rabbit sprawled out on a mat, however, the man's twin was a usagi. A creature capable of transforming into the soft, fluff-covered form of a bunny. It was a form Adonai recognized after centuries of being acquainted with his sister; who was considered among his closest siblings. He remained behind the mat, arm reaching to rap upon Emilia's door. Despite the home belonging to his sister, Adonai was never one to waltz in. After having many siblings and a home filled with girls, Adonai knew the drill about knocking before entering anywhere.
The knock echoed from the front door, Adonai's hands pulling away as he patiently waited for Emilia to answer the door. Fortunately, he managed to beat the delivery truck to the home, meaning he could focus on asking Emilia if anything required moving before its arrival.
[attr="class","cobtags"]812 words ✖ @emilia & @felicity As a quick note, I got permission from Zac for the Nitzan bit! <3
Emilia popped her head up curiously as the sound of knocking echoed just barely over the sound of the roombas still making their rounds around the house. She muttered. "Damn." She was hoping that her roombas would at least be done their cycle before the others made it here. She made sure her Mr. Noodles was sitting comfortably on the counter before making her way to the door. She hopped over Steven as she made her way through the living room to get to the main hallway and then to the front door. The sound of the roombas stretched out the front door as she opened it, the sounds definitely reaching Fel, and Adonai's ears. However the sound of the roombas stopped. "Oh! I guess they finished up." She smiled. "Welcome, Welcome, the place is nice and clean for you guys." She gestured for the two to enter, noticing Felicity being in her bunny form.
"You know just no pooping on the carpet, I don't want to have to sick Mr Draper after you!" She pointed her finger at Felicity trying to tease her. She waited for the two to enter before closing the door behind them.
"Follow me to the kitchen you two! I still haven't eaten yet, so I'm just finishing up in there. But I can point yous two to the bedroom where we gotta move my desk, and computer set up, just a little bit." The place was echoey without the roombas polluting the airwaves. "Oh don't worry about taking off your shoes today, I'll just run the floor gang again after" She made her way to the kitchen but her voice continued to echo throughout the house. "Not too too much stuff is being moved today, but we'll definitely need your strength Addy." She turned the second corner down the hallway to reach the kitchen where her bowl of mr noodles was sitting covered.
She grabbed the bowl, taking the lid off. Steam escaped, and her delicious noodle broth was ready to consume. Her face light up with some sort of excitement at this small meal, and she quickly grabbed a fork to begin eating the ramen noodles. "Oh, do you two want some?" She didn't expect to be eating in front of them, and it felt better to offer some, then not. "I can make some more, I mean I do have treats in the fridge, and some snacks in the pantry. But some are supposed to be your gifts for helping out, so it is a surprise, you can choose to have it now or later!" She played with her fork a little bit before focusing back on eating her noodles.
"This spicy chicken is my favorite!" She said while slurping down some noodles.
[attr="class","pwfbody"] Just as her eyes began to droop, the soft caress of sunlight gently warming her fur, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Felicity’s ears twitched as she recognized the tone. In an almost hop-like motion she stood up and let her ears twitch happily in response to Adonai’s question. Once inside she’d transform back but it might be strange to the neighbors.[break][break]
Adonai rapped lightly on the door as Felicity settled beside him, tail flicking slightly. Emilia emerged in the doorway looking as refreshed as ever, prompting yet another happy ear twitch from Felicity. How wonderful to have two of her siblings in the same place! This was going to be memorable occasion for them.[break][break]
Once the door was securely shut behind them, Felicity shifted back into her human form.[break][break]
“This place is lovely!” she exclaimed; bright eyes widened with her smile as Felicity all but buzzed around the place. How different from the Emilia’s former residence. [break][break]
Emilia disappeared into another room prompting Felicity to follow diligently. She waved off the offer of ramen politely but, at noticing her favorite Roomba (Mr. Draper) was gently tucked away Felicity tried her best to hide her disappointment. [break][break]
“Treats? Emmy you shouldn’t have! I’ll have to bring you that special flour sometime later in the week, it makes the softest, most delicious bread. Oh! I haven't greeted you properly yet,” Felicity quickly yet gently enveloped her sister into the lightest of hugs before turning around and doing the same for Adonai.[break][break]
The usagi stepped back from her siblings with a satisfied smile before breaking down the matter at hand with a light clap of her hands together.[break][break]
“Alright! Where do you want us to begin? I can clean if you like or organize something?” Felicity’s eyes were awash with brightness, the task of organizing or cleaning was always so relaxing to her so she didn’t mind offering.

[attr="class","cobbrace"]}
[attr="class","cobbody"]Roaming through Adonai's veins was a soft sense of mild excitement after rapping his knuckle against the front door. Reconnecting with his siblings after the soothing presence of his husband, Nitzan's, intervention. If the redheaded male never arrived by his side, the man hallowed from his warpath would have remained. No longer a fighter, but rather, a soldier stuck in the aftermath. Nitzan was the reason he opened up, had children, and generally became warmer than his previous self. Everything he became derived from the healing process brought on by his lover, it allowed him to wear smiles and discover happiness.
After knocking upon Emilia's door, Adonai took a soft step back. Patiently, he waited, enjoying the sunlight pouring over them on the early summer morning. A grin played across Adonai's lips as he sucked in a deep breath of contentment. The thought of a day spent with his sisters brought joy to the merman's day. Private time with his siblings was rare given the large family he cultivated with Nitzan. With eight children and half those children living inside the home, Adonai definitely had his hands full with his parents.
Upon the doors opening, the humming of roombas leaked through the open threshold. The face of one his younger siblings appeared in the threshold, her dyed, purple locks easily bringing a name to the face. A soft, exhaled "chuckle" leaving his throat at the comment Emilia made. Carefully, Adonai walked through the household, being cautious to avoid brining accidental harm to his rabbit-form twin. The informant's eyes automatically scanned over the household, admiring the condition and noticing the touches Emilia would admire most.
"The place looks lovely, Emi," Adonai complimented, quietly following behind his sister.
They headed into the kitchen, Adonai's shoes still tied securely around his feet. His sister provided the go-ahead with wearing his shoes, furthermore, they would provide his feet some safety. As they entered the kitchen, Adonai noticed the cup of noodles Emilia was bound to be devouring. Quietly, the bearded man listened to the purple-haired woman's explanation as to what would be moved around. The firstly mentioned furniture was Emilia's desk requiring more of an "adjustment" based on her words. In order to prove his attentiveness, Adonai quietly nodded in response.
A shrug was submitted at the mentioning of treats. In secret, the merman tended to devour treats with caramel, the sweet taste always luring Adonai into devouring those types of foods. The type of caramel hardly mattered, rather, he would gleefully munch away at the sweet foods.
"You don't need to thank me with treats, Emi," Adonai assured. "Although... knowing Hugo and Ziya, they would happily devour them before anybody else gets a bite... or one another for a matter of fact."
The gluttonous manner Hugo and Ziya devoured food was a well-known fact among the Blanes. The food bill was driven high, both from his large family and the manner his children happily ate everything bought. Yet, Adonai undoubtedly loved his children and wished for them to be well-fed and showered in love. He considered it his duty as a parent to keep them well-fed and love while instilling moral values into them. The merman softly rolled his shoulders, giving them a stretch to work out any remaining weariness from his ancient bones.
"Once your ready, Emi, you can show me where you want that desk to go," Adonai said.
The ancient merman stood inside the kitchen, providing Emilia the opportunity to devour her cup of noodles. After already eating his breakfast, he wanted to provide his sister the chance. Even if Adonai thought a cup of Mr. Noodles was not the greatest choice of a breakfast food.
[attr="class","cobtags"]616 words ✖ @emilia & @felicity
Emilia ate her noodles rather quickly. It didn't take long, just a few moments and the noodles were gone. She tilted the cup upwards to sip out the broth concoction and the bits of the noodles that remained at the bottom of the cup. Using an awkward maneuver where she tilted the cup upwards, and used a fork to rake the contents from the back of the cup into her mouth she finished eating the rest of the noodles. She placed the dishes in the sink, stopping briefly getting a warm hug from Felicity.
"Special flour? You know you don't have to get me anything." Emilia could afford whatever she wanted, so the thought of getting gifts from others seemed less important. Not that the family knew of her wealth, but she'd rather her sister spend the money on something for herself. She was bound to get Felicity and Adonai something regardless. Emilia smiled, still shoeless however she quietly made her way to the bedroom. The bed was made, as it was not being moved. However her desk was. She bent down, pulling out all the chords from the area around her desk. She pulled the monitor off the desk, the keyboard, and mouse. She then had the desk free. The thing didn't weight very much, but it still was easier to have a second hand.
"You know Mr. Draper would be happy to hear your guys's compliments on the house if he was awake." She joked.
"Addy help me move this over here." She pointed to another corner in the room. "This is going to be the spot for a set of drawers" She notified them what was going to be moved there.
"Fel, how about you grab some of the stuff I just moved off the desk and bring it over with us? Please?" She asked as kindly as she could, she didn't want to sound commanding, although she was definitely commanding in certain situations. After moving the desk over into the corner of the room, she allowed felicity time to move things from the open space area to the corner of the room.
A ring echoed through the house. Her doorbell had a soft tone too it, but was still quite audible. "They must be here then, " She looked at Adonai curiously. "I'll go tell them where to drop off the stuff." She elegantly made her way to the front door, still without any shoes on. When she made it to the front a large truck was set out on the roadway. "Hey were dropping off some furniture to this address, " The man spoke calmly. "Yes they are for me!" Emilia spoke with an elegant tone, one she didn't show with her siblings.
"Sign here please," The man held out a pad with a document on it. Emilia took a second to read the thing, and then signed it. "Just back your truck up on the lawn" Emilia spoke with a commanding, yet elegant tone.
"Will do" He turned tail and headed back over to the truck and began maneuvering the thing into position. A few minutes was all it took, driving forward, and then reversing onto the lawn. The man came out and slid out the ramp for the truck, and then opened the back of the thing. The truck wasn't filled to the brim but had a drawer set, a cabinet, that was split into two pieces, 2 couches, 2 tvs of varrying sizes, a recliner, and a coffee table. Just enough to fill the rooms she wanted filled. The man came out of the cab and spoke again. "I'll unload the stuff onto the lawn, it's up to you guys to place it in the house." The man explained. Another man came out of the cab, and hopped up onto the truck to begin helping the unloading process. "The first thing is this 2 piece cabinet, with the mirror."
Emilia nodded quickly, and then went to meet up with Adonai. "So the first things going in my bedroom's walk in closet." She informed him. "You guys ready?"
[attr="class","pwfbody"] Adonai stood stoically besides them, perhaps the most serious of the three as he cut straight to the point. After all, they had come to help their beloved sister move in! Of course when Mr. Draper was mentioned a certain sort of spark illuminated Felicity’s shimmering orbs. Felicity had been secretly working on a holiday costume for her favorite Roomba, unbeknownst to Emilia most likely. Felicity’s light-hearted plotting was cut short by an instruction from her lavender-eyed companion.[break][break]
“Oh of course!” she smiled, still fondly remembering the tickle of dew on her nose as she’d bounded over the grass outside. An errant strand of light spring-green hair fell from her shoulder to obstruct her view but Felicity ignored it as she gathered the things.[break][break]
Possibly carrying too much but somehow balancing it with ease, Felicity followed her sister’s commands obediently and tucked the items in the respected corner. She was about to arrange them in a much more mannerly fashion when the doorbell rang and Emilia padded over nonchalantly to address the movers. Felicity stared lovingly at the pair of her siblings. [break][break]
Now if only she could get the sibling bowling competition to happen this year…[break][break]
Felicity espied the sight of a familiar charging dock, wondering which of her Roomba grandchildren it was. She twitched her nose habitually as she forced her eyes from the devices and back to her siblings. The truck itself, while not packed, certainly held a decent number of heavy things. In retrospect Felicity might not be particularly useful with the lifting part.[break][break]
“That’s… much bigger than I thought,” Felicity laughed, still beaming warmth in every direction, “I don’t know how much help I can be but I’m ready when you two are,” a pause for a second, “oh Emmy, did you do something different with your hair? It looks shinier today.”[break][break]
She quirked the corner of her mouth, tapping with one of her fingers. It really did look nicer. Perhaps it was simply the glow of moving to a new place or maybe Felicity would have to badger her sibling about her new shampoo regimen… She turned swiftly to Adonai, whom she felt she had sorely neglected.[break][break]
“Don’t worry Addy, you look good today too,” Felicity reassured, not that her brother needed those sort of compliments to make it through the day. He did look well though, a cutting figure among the plain canvas of Emilia's soon-to-be-decorated house. [break][break] #tags: @emilia, Adonai Blane
[attr="class","coblyrics"]i managed to survive every war now give me peace
[attr="class","cobbrace"]}
[attr="class","cobbody"]Infected by what Adonai considered the responsibilities of being among the eldest siblings, the green-haired man maintained his serious composure. Though, there was notably an easement in the way his shoulders rested. Since leaving the TRS and marrying Nitzan, the merman’s colder serious streak tranquilized to something more manageable and even a little flexible. Nonetheless, those who knew the former soldier and hunter noticed the differences between his former self. Relieved by the burdens atop his shoulders because of Nitzan, he learned the values of serenity.
Though, he never ceased being straight to the point and hard-working. There were jobs requiring completion and relaxation could wait patiently until then! Objective clear in Adonai's mind, he was prepared to strive forward on the tasks placed upon him. Only further pushing Adonai's resolve was the individual requesting his assistance. His sister needed his assistance and therefore he would be focused on the overarching goal. As the quieter of the parties, Adonai maintained silence as Felicity and Emilia exchanged conversation.
The merman held no disinterest in their interaction, rather, there was nothing for Adonai to add. Baking was never his specialty, the father of eight's capabilities being passable at best. Though, with Emilia and Felicity around, the father never batted an eye at the thought of baking for his children. If anything, the pair of dotting aunts had everything covered when it arrived at spoiling his children with treats. It left Adonai to focus on proper meals and assuring there was enough food inside the house for the gluttonous Ziyanda and Hugo.
While they conversed, Adonai followed behind his sisters. Through the home they moved, entering Emilia's bedroom where a made bed sat ready for sleep and a desk with a computer. Upon their entry, Emilia was hasty to remove the items from the desk, setting them elsewhere for the time being. As requested, Adonai arrived to assist with moving the desk, joining Emilia in the effort to bring it to a different corner. Only moments afterwards did Felicity, under Emilia's request and arranged them in the new location.
Mere moments afterwards did the sound of a doorbell ring through Emilia's home. The sound signalled the arrival of the furniture being brought to Emilia's new home.
"Wonderful! Then we can finish getting everything ready for you," Adonai responded.
Once everything appeared to set in the room, the green-haired man trailed the purple-haired woman to the front door. As they reached the front of the house, the sounds of a truck beeping into reverse entered Adonai's ears. From there, the man watched as the truck driver jumped out, opening the back and revealing the furniture to come inside. He heard Felicity's laughter met with uncertainty. A soft grin touched the green-haired merman's face in response.
"I'm sure we can handle it if we work together," he assured his twin.
As the movers mentioned the first piece of furniture, Adonai heard Felicity complimenting Emilia's hair, shortly shooting him a compliment out of politeness. He glanced over to give a nod of thanks, not necessarily cherishing appearance-based compliments. Soon, he turned towards his siblings fully to start a work plan for taking in the furniture.
"Maybe two of us could lift and the other spots?" He suggested to them.
Theoretically, it would work to assure nothing got scraped and bumped while going through the doorways. The riskier maneuvers requiring some finagling. Therefore, the concept seem logical, if a little on the slower side.
[attr="class","cobtags"]577 words ✖ @emilia & @felicity
Emilia, upon stepping onto the grass realized she wasn't wearing any footwear. "Oof" She muttered to herself. Thankfully no dogs were on the property. When she was commented on how her hair looked Emilia had to stop herself from checking her roots. It was probably fine now, but she supposed it may make her hair look a bit shinier. "Thankyou Fel! You continue to look lovely yourself!" She brought her hands together with a smile, complimenting her sister was usually fun. Of course, perhaps teasing her was a bit more fun. When the two men offloading brought the dresser with a mirror, Emilia seemed a tad worried at moving the thing. She was certain they could handle it however.
"You two just hold on one minute! I need shoes!" She hastily ran through the front door, and turned to put on her shoes. Without any socks either. She then turned back around, leaving the door open, and heading over to the first piece of furniture. It was a straight shot to the bedroom, and then a right into the closet. She moved herself to get ready to grab the one end of the dresser. She stopped however realizing something important. She came to the front of the dresser and began pulling out the drawers, 4 in all. "Fel you take these in, and make sure they aren't in our way. Me and Addy will take the dresser, and mirror. It'll be lighter this way." She went back to her position around the one end of the dresser.
"You ready Addy? We're going down the hall, straight into the bedroom, and then a right into the closet. We're setting it against the back wall." She was fully prepared to move the thing at a moments notice. "Oh and don't mind bumping against the door frame and such, that can all be fixed later. I'd rather us move this as safely as possible, so just don't think I'll yell at you for that. If you guys were movers, then I'd yell at you."
[attr="class","pwfbody"] Felicity trailed behind the two, her usual cheerful radiance emanating from her features. Sure, there were a significant amount of their siblings missing but getting all three in one location on an occasion that wasn’t a holiday was quite miraculous. At the instruction of Emilia, Felicity knelt down and began to secure the contents of the drawers. She’d wait for the two siblings to carry in the dresser before grappling with the drawers.[break][break]
Wordlessly the Usagi stepped back to admire her brother and sister at work. Already she was considering what sort of decorations she’d be getting Emilia for the holidays. There was a slight, intrigued twitch of her nose as she considered a different possibility.[break][break]
Shopping.[break][break]
When was the last time that Emilia and she had simply gone on a spending spree? Felicity was glad that her ears were hidden or their characteristic perk would give her nefarious shopping plans away. She tapped the bottom of her face, arms across her chest as though attempting to hold in her high spirits. [break][break]
[attr="class","coblyrics"]i managed to survive every war now give me peace
[attr="class","cobbrace"]}
[attr="class","cobbody"]From the moving truck's mouth, the first piece of furniture was unloaded and placed onto the lawn. The elder merman's green eyes observed the unloading, taking a moment to admire the chosen furniture by Emilia. Meanwhile, he listened to the exchange of complements from his sisters. Despite his failures in the realms of female aesthetic and appearances, he refused to ruin their few moments of delighted conversation. While he could capably compliment his sisters, the minor altercations were often left unspoken unless evident health benefit existed.
Perhaps the side effects of being the eldest sibling, Adonai's mind fixated on health and safety. Through his years, he plucked his siblings from dangerous situations as a willing force of protection. All in spite of being his parents' primary puppet for centuries before deciding what he wanted. The mention of requiring shoes returned Adonai's attention towards his sisters in narrow time to witness the end of the tips of Emilia's purple hair as she retreated. In the meantime, his gaze returned, arms at his side as he waited for Emilia's return.
The return through the opened threshold summoned a woman prepared to take charge of the situation. The haste in which she delegated tasks bringing a brief, momentary grin to Adonai's face. All of them grew plenty from the circumstances they were birthed to, and the merman was satisfied laying witness to it. He gave a nod to the orders given to Emilia.
"Alright," he began, taking his position at the opposing end. "Either way, let's avoid that. I would rather not make you have to spend money on repairs."
At times, repairs were expensive and Adonai preferred limiting any damages to Emilia's home. Gradually, the green-haired man's hands slid into suitable positions to provide a steady hold.
"Ready when you are, Emi," the merman informed.
