Godiva Street, Friday afternoon

[vdistinctive]

The Big Daddy/Little Sister pair that had until recently been Eliot and Parker had made a slow circuit of the island over the course of the week, taking down splicers and scavenging for ADAM, as was their way.

There may, somewhere deep in that enormous helmet, have been some spark of faint recognition when they made it back to Godiva street and passed the house where, in other realities, they lived with their fiancee. But it was unimportant. The only important thing to the Big Daddy was his Little Sister, and killing anything that looked like it might do her harm.

[open, with a big ol' slow play disclaimer. Had to make sure to get Big Daddy!Eliot out here somewhere, though!]

Comments

"I see blue, I see green, I see... red!" The Little Sister pointed up the street, giggling gleefully. "Listen to what I said!"

It probably wasn't ADAM, but she had some vials ready in case it was!

[vdistinctive]

The Big Daddy let out a low, whalesong-like groan and turned in the direction she indicated.

That was . . . agreement? Acknowledgement? Only his Little Sister would know.

[whoisalicewhite]

The Little Sister patted him on his carapace and bounced up on her toes. Then her jaw dropped, eyes glowing and huge. It wasn't ADAM, it was...

"TEDDY BEAR!" With a bedraggled red ribbon around its neck.

Parker started to scramble down from her Big Daddy, because there was a Teddy Bear that needed saving!

[vdistinctive]

Was it possible that that particularly loud whalesong groan translated to "dammit, Parker"? Only his Little Sister would know.

The Big Daddy twisted to look for threats, then set off after her. He couldn't let his Little Sister go far without her protector, after all.

In Parker's eyes, the teddy bear was in perfect condition, smiling, and fuzzy. In reality it was missing an eye, one arm was almost off, and it really needed a bath. Still, to her, it was beautiful. All of Big Daddy's grumbling couldn't change that.

"Look, Big Daddy! A new friend!" Maybe she should stash her friend in a vent? The Little Sister gave the nearest one she could see a speculative look. "Should I hide him?"

[vdistinctive]

The Big Daddy let out a long suffering groan.

It was beautiful, Parker. He was so happy for you.

He was definitely going to end up with a rotting teddy bear jammed into the grate over his helmet.

Hardison crept out of the shadows, keeping a decent distance from Parker. Or the creepy little girl that used to be Parker, anyway. He'd learned his lesson that first day, nearly getting brained by Eliot when he'd gotten too close. If this drill-diver-thing'd had even a fraction of Eliot's usual speed, it would have been bad.

Still, he couldn't stay away too much. He worried.

"Can't believe that the week after we get engaged, y'all transform into weird things without me," he muttered, watching Parker get closer to the teddy bear.

The teddy bear with a nanny cam in its good eye because he'd be damned if he could make himself follow her into the vents, but needing to keep an eye on them anyway.
