Low Light Tea Time {Kyle/Sarah/Their Children}

[Garland Von Clossen]

Two years had passed, and all of the fun humans had gone... Sure, there were a few feisty ones, but Garland wanted to see those enjoy life and lose it due to natural causes! Not torture or death by boogie. No fun at all... Garland rarely visited the human's world, as he didn't really need slaves... But then he noticed that all of the most famous (not to mention the infamous) boogie's had left. Some for long period of time! He even thought he saw Iugo bring back that one chap... That called... Oh, bother! What was his name? Didn't matter, for Garland knew the boy by the horrible bragging of boogies who had done more than torture the poor soul...

So, with a thought process far too complex, but involving a puppet show (not involving his own private collection), a stern talking to a wall for changing colors, and letter left for the labby beasts, Garland took a trip to see what was going on. The last he heard of Naelona was going to see her old slave/pal Kyle. Why not start there? Maybe if they were as un-fun as the female boogie, he could find a way to make her more fun through these people! And so Garland appeared in the night, as was his only choice of survival. But he appeared in what seemed to be a child's play room... Huh... Why would Nae come here...?

"Well, well, well!" Garland whispered to himself, respecting the quiet air of the dark room. Hands in his pocket, he took out a deck of cards, performing idle tricks to make a card jump out of the deck an land back with it's brother's in a single deft movement. Did Nae possibly come here to... play? Surely not! How did he know this? Because he himself was excited thinking of the possibilities s to be had in here. Garland was sane enough to know he was crazier than most, so what he liked most would gawk at. He he... gawk. "Gawk," He even said out loud, louder than his whisper. A chuckle escaped his lips as he repeated the word, finding it rather amusing.

[Kyle Roberts]

Ever since the boogies had started reappearing, Kyle had been keeping every corner of the house bright as day. He was absolutely terrified that one of them would pop up in his home. Why? Because he was afraid that they might try to take Sarah or one or both of the twins. He didn't what he'd do if that happened. The thought that he might be the one taken instead of the others didn't bother him in the least. He could handle going back, just as long as he knew that his family was safe.

Unfortunately though, such safeguards did run the electric bill up quite a bit. And unlike his brother, his better half wasn't a multi-billionaire. They had to work for a living, though he did his best to make sure Sarah kept up her schoolwork. He might not have amounted to mu8ch of anything, seeing as he'd missed the last of his Senior year and then some, but he was going to make sure she did good. And he was going to make sure that his children were well off.

At the moment he was poring over bills, scratching his head at the numbers and trying to figure out how best to stretch his paycheck. With a sigh he gave up for the moment, standing and going to get the kids ready for bed. They were sitting in front of the t.v., watching the Lion King. He smiled as he watched them, standing in the doorway for several minutes before clapping his hands. "Come on you two. Time to get ready for bed. Can't have you staying up all night now can we? " The two groaned in unison, glancing at the screen one last time before scampering off to the bathroom.

Kyle chuckled to himself, smiling warmly as he went to make sure everything was fine in their room. On the way he noticed that the playroom was noticeably darkened. Frowning to him self he turned, slowly making his way towards the room. I know I left the light on.... Maybe the breaker had blown? That was the only explanation for it. Carefully he opened the door, jsut in time to hear the boogies voice. Immediately he froze up, but he made sure that he was blocking the only exit from the room. Unable to see in the dark, he focused his eyes on the spot where he thought the sound to have some from. "What the hell do you want?"

[Garland Von Clossen]

Garland had heard Kyle, and only tilted his head. How rude... He was in the middle of repeating the word...! Oh, bother... what was that darn word again? Now he couldn't even remember! But Garland was at least on his fourth triplet version of saying that damned word, and now this human messed him up! How infuriating! Luckily for Kyle, he was not the kind of boogie to lash out in a hail of fury and anger. No, he was more the... verbal, boogie. In a very loud tone, the British accent rang through more than just the simple play room as Garland said: "Bloody hell! Learn to knock on a door, would you?" Then a pause, with Garland, surprisingly not glaring, simply looking at Kyle's silhouette. And then...

"GAWK! That was it! Ah, such a fun word..."

And so the boogie turned around again, looking around the darkened room, his attention completely averted from Kyle as he inspected the child's room. "Huh..." He stooped down, picking up a toy that was round, yellow, and squeaked. It was a fun little ball, something Garland had yet to encounter in this other realm of life. The boogie's eyes went wide with could only be explained as the pure curiosity and excitement of a child. "Egads! This is quite the spectacle! It yelps when you..." Squeak! "Oh my dear Heavens! This is grand! Glooooooorious!" Kyle would have to find some imaginative way to gain the boogie's attention if he wanted to be rid of the eccentric man.
