(Grim family boat, 'Scythe's blade.' Imbound for Glasgow, Scotland.)
Marceline was playing her guitar, singing along with it. (A/N: tell me, if you recognize this singer ). She sang, "Shot through the heart, and you're to blame. You gave love, a bad name!" She continued to play her guitar, and started to shake her head to the beat.
Chi told her, smiling, "You know, you're a good singer, Marci." She picked up a key-tar, " I've practiced on this before. I'm also a singer, though." She asked her Vampire friend, "Ever thought about forming a band?"
Marceline replied, "Well, I have thought about it, but I'm not sure." She looked around, seeing her fellow children of the Underworld. Mimi was singing the Italian national anthem. The young Vampire said, "Mimi has a good singing voice, too." She looked to Chi, "Can I ask you something? Mimi is a good singer. So are you. How come you have concerts, but she doesn't?"
Chi shrugged her shoulders, "Mimi just isn't comfortable with it, I guess." Her green eyes looked to her friend, "I've asked her that same question three times, and she always said 'I've never thought about it before.'" She looked at the case, laying next to Mimi. She asked, from across the room, "Mimi, could you come over here?!"
Mimi picked up her case, and walked over. She asked Chi, "Yes?"
Chi answered, "Would you mind telling me, what's in that case?" She'd known Mimi a long time, and she'd never known for her carry an instrument.
Mimi opened her case, showing a disassembled drum set. She said, "My mother's drums. She played them, as a pastime when she had nothing else to do. She later taught me." She looked down, "I don't play anymore, though. Haven't played in three years." She closed the case.
Chi looked and Marceline, smiling. She said, "Eh? Now we have three good singers. You also play guitar, I also play keyboard, and Mimi plays drums."
Marceline said, "Yeah, but I'd kinda fell better if all of us were in a band." She looked at Minnie. Minnie was singing a song she didn't recognize.
Junior said to his sister, "Minnie, are Ye sure about this?" He looked at the map of his homeland, "I mean, this song isn't really a common thing. We sing, just as much as other nations sing, their national anthems." He muttered under his breath, "Same as the stuck-up English."
Minnie replied, "Is it not accustomed for a visitor, to show respect to their hosts? You, my brother are a citizen of Scotland." She smiled, "Myself and the other girls on this boat, are mere visitors to your homeland. It is imperative that I show my hosts, the utmost respect." She cleared her throat, "So, I shall practice the Scottish Anthem, until such time as I do it perfectly!"
Junior said, "Ye know, my homeland has five national anthems, right?"
Minnie laughed, "Yes, brother, I am aware." She laughed a bit more, then prepared to sing. She said, "I shall sing, the one you have had, since the Second World War."
Minnie started singing, "Oh, Flower of Scotland. Who fought and died for, your wee bit hill, and glen-"
Junior interupted her, "Ye skipped a verse." He said, "I'm no' the best singer in the world, but I will try. Sing after me." He cleared his throat.
He sang, "Oh Flower of Scotland. When wil we see, your like again? Who fought and died for, your wee bit hill and glen. And stood against him. Proud Edward's army" he breathed in, "And sent him homeward, to think again."
Minnie stood in shock. She never knew her brother to sing. Let alone, did she expect him to do it so well.
She hugged him and said, "Perhaps not the best in the world, but still very well." She asked him, "Why do you not sing more often, Brother?"
Junior would be blushing if he had skin. He said nervously, "Well, I'm no' as good as Ye are, Minnie. I'm more used to playin' the Pipes." He looked away, "Tha' and I only know a few songs. Most of 'em Rock and Roll."
The he other girls were also in shock. They knew he played the bagpipes. He wouldn't stop playing them, for most of the voyage. But hearing him sing? True, it was the Scottish National Anthem, but he still had quite the voice. His accent, actually made sound a bit better.
Chi asked Marceline, once again smiling, "Eh? Now we have two more singers! All we need for Junior to play an instrument!" She whispered, " He's good on the pipes, but I don't think they'll appeal to everyone."
Junior said, "Chi, I'm willing to be friends, but if you could please, NOT, insult my country's ancestoral instrument." He picked up a guitar case, "Besides, I play this when I don't have the pipes." He sighed, "Ye know wha'? It's time I told you a bit about my country."
Mimi asked, "So, are you going to tell us where we're going?"
Junior replied, "I 'ave eight Major cities for us. First, is Glasgow. Home to the Scottish Navy, and the place where we build most of our boats." He looks to the girls, "It's also the largest city in the entire country, so please try no' to get lost." He saw that Minnie had a dollar in her pocket. He asked, "What's tha'?"
Minnie replied, "Mother gave me this." She placed it on the table, "It is an American dollar. A twenty-dollar bill."
Junior sighed, "Tha's not going to work, in Scotland. If we're in an American owned place, maybe. However, if not, it won't work. It's no' our currency."
Chi asked, "Well, what is your currency?" If American dollars didn't work, the currencies of their kingdoms wouldn't work either.
Junior said, "Scotland is, much to our discontent, part of the British Empire. Our currency is the British Pound. Or shilling, call it wha' you want." He pointed the map of Glasgow, "I know this trading post. We go there, they'll exchange yer money, for the Pounds."
They heard a noise. The boats captain said, "We are approaching Glasgow. We are about to pass the barrier, between the Underworld and the Mortal World."
William, one of their guards said, "When we enter the mortal world, you'll become mortal yourselves. Lord Grim has made a discovery." He pointed to England, on the map of the UK. He said, "The city of London, doesn't shield your true appearances, nor your power, at all. The moonlight of the UK, also reveals a creature, for what it truly is." He looked at them, "I'd advise staying inside at night."
The he children looked at each other, and nodded. They gathered their things, and prepared to get off the boat.
The Captain yelled, "Passing the barrier now!"
The he looked at the bright light of the barrier, and got ready for he other side.
(Alright. I know this is probably the worst chapter. See you next time.)

Work related nonsense
So. . .this is some stuff I have been through since I started working at (redacted because I don't know if the company will let me use their name online.) Working for a grocery store is. . . Something. So. . Here's some of the good. . And the bad that I have had to endure. . I don't wanna spend TOO much time here. . But this is just some stuff I felt like. . I NEEDED to share. Good: My store has a LOT of veterans who come in and get their groceries. . Most of them are pretty good. They're usually nice people. They ask a question politely, talk nice to you. . And when they get their stuff. . they're ready to leave . I always walk up to the veterans and say the same thing. “Thank you for your service.” I enjoy hearing everything they have to say in response. . And its usually been good. One veteran. . A US Navy vet from the Vietnam war. . . Extremely nice. Calls me by my name. Only really talks to us when he sees we're not busy. Only once has it been . . Not great. But not terrible either. I know everyone has their various thoughts and feelings about the military. . But I believe that if you stood up and fought for your country, you deserve respect. So I always pay them respect. No exceptions. The Bad: Some elderly customers. Okay .. not every single elderly customer is bad but there are some of them that. . . If you work a customer service job you have encountered a customer that. . Happens to be a senior citizen. . . And is a real pain in the ass. We have one older customer who .. .(Bitch, if you are reading this. . Fuck off. And PRAY you don't meet ME in the real world. . . I ain't afraid to throw hands to stop harassment.) This person walks into the employees only area of our store. . And takes pictures of our storage every time we don't have the stuff she wants. Threatening to send the pictures to our CEO in Cincinnati and get a lot of us fired. . (. . . You do realize that if he sees that we are sold out it means he's making a profit. . And if the item you want is discontinued he already knows and he will not care.) One night while I was sweeping a customer pulled me aside. . An older white woman pulled me aside to b**** and moan about how we've been changing our store. (The one I work at is currently under redevelopment.) She asked me where to find something that she was already standing in front of. . And after I gave her the information she wanted she whispered to me, “What's with all the damn Mexicans?” . . . Thankfully she didn't understand me when I said to her, “Buenas noches puta!” I don't really give a damn what color our construction workers are so long as they do their work. Most of the redevelopment team that I've met are nice people who are just there to do a job. . (Plus for those of you who do have a problem with that. . . You want to stop seeing Mexicans find a way to get the Americans back to work.) The Good: Discounts. One of the good things about working at a grocery is you get a discount on everything they sell. At our store we have a Starbucks and. . We get water free and the discount extends there too. Just. . Nice. The bad: the teenagers. Once again. . . Not every single one. But there are plenty of them who. . . Yeah, when those kids are in jail. . I'll be laughing my ass off. We had six teenagers in backpacks harassing another customer over her place in line. . And then when the U-Scan attendant confronted them. . They proceeded to shout at and insult her. . Manager came down and told them to get out. . When I got there they were running. We had two teenage dudes, probably students of our local high school . . Riding around in motorized carts grabbing glass jars of salsa and throwing them all over the floor. . I only know this because they told me when I came into work that afternoon. And this happened in the morning. . If I ever meet those brats. . I am going to jail. . Why? Cuz I'm going to lay down the discipline their parents never did. That's our problem with society today folks. . Parents are not parenting their children. I get it we live in an age of technology and people think that it's easier to let technology raise your kids. . But I'm sorry you still have to do at least a portion of the work. . I'm not a parent myself I hope to be one day… but you cannot let your kids get away with this bullshit. . If those kids' parents find out what they did I hope that they are sent off to military school or something. Some teenagers are okay. Others? Yeah. When you kids are in jail. . . Don't be surprised if you hear my boisterous laughter. One teenage girl. . Walks up to me while I'm stocking the shelves. . She asks me, while NOT LOOKING AT ME (She was looking at her cellphone), “Hey. . Can you tell me where these fuckers moved the goddamn orange juice?” I respond, “Orange juice has been moved to the coolers near the deli.” . . . She looks at me after I say that. . With anger. She shouted, “I was just there you retard I didn't fucking see any!!” . . .. . (Sarcasm ) Calling an autistic person a retard. . . How original. I answer her question. . And she calls me a retard. . . You must be from Beverly Hills. (I live in Ohio. . In Ohio we also have a place called Beverly hills for the ridiculously rich and obnoxious.) I offered to show her where exactly the orange juice was. . She shouted, “No I ain't following you to do shit!” And ran out of the store. Some kids, people. . . Really need a parent's discipline. The good: reasonable shifts. Now I HAVE been thinking about leaving but. . I don't know. The shifts at my workplace (at least for cleaning, which is what I do). . 6:00 AM-1:00 PM. . And 2-10 PM (as of March 8, 2024. May change later.) We have plenty of other shifts but. . I just work second shift. Reasonable hours and fair enough pay. (Right now? $12.80 an hour and been doing that for two years.) The bad: …. . . The fucking protestors. Okay to be clear my store has to my knowledge not done anything worth protesting. . It's just that some people decide to protest right outside.. Way back when the state of Ohio was deciding the abortion thing. . We had some clearly conservative people dressed up in suits, ties and formal dresses. . Holding signs saying “adoption is the loving option” and other pro-life stuff. Later on .. . Same day some woman stood in the middle of our parking lot. . . Holding up a sign to legalize marijuana. . . Something the STATE has done but my home city hasn't. . Yeah the corporation I work for doesn't want you protesting on our property without our permission. . Only way you get our permission is to drive down to Cincinnati and talk to the corporate bigwigs. At some point one of spectrum's competitors decided to hold a petition sign. . Hoping to sell from the store. . (We have a deal with spectrum, we do not have a deal with that competitor.) Not to mention you have all the religious protesters and panhandlers. At one point I actually heard my manager say, “If you're begging for money or pushing God, I'm kicking you out of my parking lot.” . . . Finally we have something that's not really a protest but I was not comfortable. . . And I have a strong feeling I'm going to get even more uncomfortable as November approaches. . I wrote this in 2024. . A presidential election year in the United States. (My home) In early January. . We had an older gentleman walking around dressed in a Joe Biden shirt. . Asking customers, “What is the dumbest thing Donald Trump ever said?” When not a single other customer responded to him. . He decided to ask me. . I was just trying to start bread and this person decides he's going to ask me a political question. . I'm not usually adverse to politics but while I'm on the job it's not a good idea. I said, “Uh Sir. . This is a public place. I'm just trying to stock some bread.” He said, “I know. . Just answer the question and I'll fuck off.” . . . A mother with two small children stood right there. She said, “That's why you don't win this year.” For a solid MINUTE AND A HALF. . While I'm trying to stock bread. . This guy keeps repeating the same question. . Until the manager's voice comes over the walkie talkie I had in my pocket. . As soon as she spoke. . that dude ran faster than I've ever seen and old man run. . . The Good: hope for the future. In a couple more months I get to go on my one week of vacation. . And after that. . . I'll decide. . Do I stay with this company or. . Will I find another job? I will think about that. . Either way. . I'm hoping I find something. . Comfortable. That's all I got for y'all tonight. Thanks for reading this rant and good night
So. . . RWBY has an uncertain future
. . . . As it turns out rooster teeth of the company that makes RWBY is being shut down on order of Warner Bros.. . For those who are not aware Warner Bros. bought out rooster teeth a couple years ago.. hence why that weird ass justice league movie crossover existed. (first one is kind of boring. Second one is OK.) And now, after 10 years of RWBY. . . Rooster teeth is being shut down and Warner Bros. is discussing selling every show under the rooster teeth banner. Including RWBY. . with that out-of-the-way, let me just say. . . Just because this is the end of rooster teeth doesn’t mean it’s the end of RWBY. I know we all like to think it is. But just because the company is gone under, doesn’t mean that the show is going with it. . It still makes plenty of money and can very easily be sold off to somebody else. Who else will buy it? I don’t know.. I just hope it’s someone with a little bit of competence. And to be honest with you. . At this point in time I have no
Random Hazbin/helluva thing: children of the sins
An idea that me and one of my friends came up with two weeks ago and we typed them down. What is it? Even more OCs. If you know me. . You know I have a lot of them. . Some would say I don't really need anymore. But my brain just. . Does things some times. So we did something with it. In the Hazbin hotel & Helluva Boss Hell. . Lucifer, King of Hell and king pride. . Is the only one of the seven deadly sins (that the audience knows about) to be married. . But I doubt this means he's the only one to have children. Really think about it. . How often do people with wealth or power of fame have kids and are not married. And keep in mind. . I doubt any of this is canonical. This is just an idea that two people did on their break from their job. So. . Here we go. My friend's OC. Name Alex Just like his mother he is a party animal,loves to have fun and make people happy,he’s in a way is better than his mom by actually trying to make things better in gluttony,but turns just about everything into a game or party. He has Tex’s physical bulk with bee’s multiple limb thing and having her eyes, as for fur color…it’s a mixture between the two As for his clothes he wears very loose and comfortable clothes that are best in the summer And mine. The daughter of asmodius. (Oz is the embodiment of lust itself. I know he's in love with fizz but. . Lust is lust. He's probably had some sexual encounters over the years.) The daughter: Thalia. Mother: Some Hellhound girl that.. Even Oz doesn’t remember the name of. Look: Taller than your average Hellhound. Around 8 ft or so. She’s got a white coat of fur (her mom was the same breed as Loona). Nice hips and ass… and really big.. . . Chest pillows. rather than dress sexually, like her dad.. She dresses more.. professionally/conservatively. (she’s the daughter of Lust himself. Of course her boobs are huge.) (Yes. Chest pillows. That's what my mom would call them when I was a kid. Trying to protect me. . Made it worse) And. . That's it for now. A waste of everyone's time. . But now you know
Does Anyone remember the Country Bears movie?
I was watching that film again recently because I happen to own the DVD. . I watch this film when I feel like it. . . And I get why some people didn't like it when it first came out in 2002. When I was a kid I loved that movie. . But the older I get. . . I still like it but I don't over obsess about it like I did when I was a kid. It's Neither one of Disney's greatest nor worst films. It's just. . a Disney film. I really like this movie but I understand why others wouldn't. . I'll give it this. . . The bears look more real than the CGI beast from Disney's stupid half assed live action beauty and the beast remake. Anyways. . Best character: it's a tie. Between Christopher Walken as our antagonist (side note: anyone notice that he seems more comfortable around animatronic bears than he does real people?) Or. . Big Al. Country Bear Hall's groundskeeper. . He's pretty damn funny in my opinion So. . to wrap it up. . I'll ask. . Anyone else remember this movie?

I enjoy this chapter it was like a slice of life episode of the girls forming a band, and getting along.
