Since the first Chapter is mostly set up, I'm uploading the Second Chapter as well today since that's where things start to actually get interesting. ", "writing": "Chapter 2 - Here comes Treble\n\nThe tall blonde bat looks down to the younger Skunk, as he watches her with trepidation. \"It will take a bit of arrangement, but when I am done; Casey Randal will no longer exist.\" Selene says, being very deliberate in her choice of wording; never telling the boy ‘you’. Casey frowns a little, but gives a bit of a nod, staying quiet as he considers that, not sure what to make of it.\n\nSelene smiles. \"I think you agree that Casey Randal is the problem in your life; because very bad people will be trying to find and use Casey Randal, and none of them know how to actually treat a kid. So what happens to those people if there is no Casey Randal to find?\"\n\nCasey considers that for a moment, then says, \"I mean... I'd assume they'd just go on being bad guys on their own...\"\n\nSelene nods. \"Bad guys that are much less competent and/or threatening than Steven Randal was. So the best way to protect you, and give you the best life possible... is by removing Casey Randal from the equation as much as possible.\"\n\n\"So... like... witness protection.\" Casey says. \"I go into hiding the rest of my life, change my name... hope no one notices the missing tail.\"\n\nSelene smiles and nods. \"Something like that, yes.\" She says and takes a seat. \"I am going to take you in as my son, luckily my husband just happened to be a skunk...\" She says with a faint smile, she didn't want to reveal her hand too soon, not that she didn't trust him; but because seeing is better than just being told, especially with what she has in mind.\n\nCasey thinks back to the photos he saw, then nods slowly, \"Okay.\" looking a little conflicted by the idea, but only because he hasn't had the best family life so far.\n\n\"Like you said, you are going to need a new name; since for the good of your future, Casey Randal can no longer exist; and even keeping 'Casey' is likely gonna draw attention to you. But I've been thinking about this ever since I decided on this course of action.\"\n\nThe boy blinks, \"Uh... okay... do I have options, or...\"\n\nSelene considers. \"Not in this, I do have a... theme I guess you could say to naming my kids.\" She says with a soft giggle, \"And it's not like my girls got to pick theirs.\" She says and looks at Casey. \"From now on.\" She says and once more you hear that melodic tone as she uses her abilities. \"You are Treble Nightfang, that is the only name you've ever known.\"\n\nThe skunk blinks again, \"Like... the music thing?\" As the words Selene says start to take root in his mind, unlike most of her commands, rewriting a person’s entire history and memories takes a lot more time and effort. \n\nSelene nods. \"Your sisters are Rhapsody and Harmony.\" She says, slowly adding further information into her new son’s mind. Cas..Treble nods and swallows as he listens, taking that in, hugging himself as he considers it. He's never had sisters before, though given that Selene talks about living lifetimes, and the detective called her the 'old' bat... he idly wonders how old his 'sisters' are.\n\n\"Rhapsody and Harmony would be just about your age, Treble.\" Selene replies, reading the curiosity on Treble’s face. \"Which would make you triplets.\" She states again with a faint giggle, as more of these core ideas take root in his mind.\n\nTreble gives a self deprecating laugh at that, \"I don't know if people will believe that I'm triplets with a pair of bats... even if their dad is a skunk...\" rubbing the back of his neck, not being argumentative with this comments; it's just how his mind is processing the new reality being created with previous reality that he was used to...\n\nSelene shrugs softly with a smile. \"Genetics are weird, Your sisters take after me; you apparently take after your father, Matteo.\" She says pointedly in her melodic tone; making sure to remove the idea of Stephen Randal as the boy’s father. Treble shivers a bit, his ears flicking... not so much resistance to the idea, as it is not having any positive associations with the word 'father', he frowns a bit, then nods slowly and takes a deep breath.\n\nSelene, once more seeming to read her new son, takes a deep breath as she speaks, this time to rewrite your concept of ‘Father’ beyond just name. \"Your father was a good and kind man. He was a charitable businessman that tried to make life better for a lot of the downtrodden... but that would cut into the bottom line of Stephen Randal and had him... dealt with. Stephen Randal, killed your father.\"\n\nIt's hard to tell if that one stuck... especially with the skunk's reply, as he flinches and hugs himself tighter, saying softly, \"I'm sorry...\" as if he were somehow responsible for his former late father's actions. \n\n“You have nothing to be sorry for, Treble.\" She commands. “You had no control over what happened with your father.” Casey had nothing to do with what Stephan did, and she knew that, and Treble could no less change Matteo’s fate. Treble nods slowly, still hugging himself. \"Alright, since it is late I will show you to a room. This will be a temporary one, because I wish to have time to prepare a room specifically for you.\" She says and offers a hand to the skunk. \n\nTreble nods his head, \"Alright.\" moving to follow the woman... his mother... it still felt a bit weird to him as his mind adjusted... as he lets go of his waist to slip a hand into hers at her offered hand.\n\nSelene leads Treble from the Kitchen into the hall and up stairs towards the west side of the manor. A few doors down she opens one and leads him in. It was typically a guest room, and it was decorated in a very generic, if somewhat feminine style.\n\nTreble keeps an eye on his surroundings as he is led through the house; He pauses at the door to the bedroom, then asks, \"Where is the bathroom? And... is there anywhere I can't go... other than outside the house?\" wanting to make sure he doesn't cause any problems.\n\nIt was late, and Selene was planning to give a more official tour in the morning; as she figures the boy has had a long and rough day as would probably like to just sleep. Plus sleep will allow time for her magic to further rewrite his concept of self. \"Down the hall to your right, the door is usually kept open less someone is using it; but that is doubtful since there is another one closer to your sisters.\" She says and nods. \"As for off limits... Well... I would prefer it if you stayed to this side of the hallway away from your sisters; at least for the next day or so.\" She replies. \"This is a big change, and there is a lot that needs to be done... And it'll be a bit simpler if I don't have to also keep a young boy from spying on some innocent girls.\" She says with a faint but teasing grin.\n\nTreble nods his head at that, \"Right... okay. Down the hall to the right. Don't go to the other side of the hallway. Don't make you worry...\" seeming to take that last bit seriously.\n\nSelene giggles slightly and ruffles Treble’s hair a bit. \"Good boy.\" She says warmly.\n\nThe skunk blushes a bit at that, swallowing and nodding, \"T... thanks?\" managing a smile.\n\nSelene giggles softly. \"Nice to see you can actually smile, Treble.\" She replies \"Anyways, as I figure you've had a full day; it's best you get some sleep in a real bed. In the morning, after breakfast I'll give you a tour of the grounds to give you a better idea of the layout of our home, since it's been awhile since you were last here..\" She adds, with another bit of Melodic Magic. \n\nTreble nods his head at that. \"Thank you. Though... I think I'd like a shower first... I probably stink.\"\n\nSelene nods softly, and decides to lead him to the bathroom so he can learn exactly where it is. \"As you wish. Though sorry if all the soaps and stuff are more feminine then you'd prefer.\"\n\nTreble says, \"It's okay... I'll make do. It's better than just being hosed off with cold water.\" before stepping into the bathroom, only to hesitate, \"Um... I only have these clothes...\" which is pretty much second hand sweat pants and a police department t-shirt that they gave him when they took him in.\n\nSelene hmms and ponders. \"I might have something... but we'll have to take you shopping once I've gotten matters settled.\n\nHe nods at that, \"I... just wanted to make sure... if I walk back to the room just wrapped in a towel, that it wouldn't cause a problem for you or your daughters...\"\n\n\"It'll be fine for tonight, and there will be at least some kind of clothing options in your room when you are done. Just be aware that we've not had many guys in the house in the past few years.\" Selene replies. \n\nHe nods slowly, \"Okay. Thank you.\" stepping the rest of the way into the bathroom before closing the door so that he can strip down and shower, taking as quick of one as he can manage, using the soap and conditioner that are in the shower without really paying attention to how they smell. Once he's washed and dried off, he makes his way back to the bedroom assigned to him. \n\nWhen Treble returns to his current room, he finds some clothes folded on the bed. They aren't exactly his first choice; but they were clean. A pair of jean shorts, that look more fitting for a girl but at least seems to be fairly androgynous; and a somewhat oversized t-shirt considering how thin his frame is, advertising a girl band known as 'Iron Frill'\n\nTreble plans to sleep, so he sets the clothing aside and lays the towel across a chair to dry off, then crawls naked into the bed, leaving the somewhat girly clothes for 'tomorrow's Treble' as a problem to deal with. He groans in relief at the feeling of a soft bed for a change, though tosses and turns a bit, despite being tired, his time spent as a captive on a bare mattress in little more than a cell has left the comfort a little... distracting. It takes him a while to actually start to drift off.\n\n-----\n\nUnbeknownst to him, Treble had a visitor as he slept. Slipping from out of the shadows was an auburn colored bat, with long black hair with a purple streak running through it. Rather busty with a long black shirt with a faded logo hanging off of her, long enough that anyone looking would question if she was wearing anything underneath. It was the form of his new sister. Rhapsody, having found that she was good at being rather undetectable when she wanted to be, that she would occasionally refer to herself as 'Solid Bat', though only in her head. \n\nShe had noticed the car pull up, and managed to keep to the shadows in the upper floors while watching and listening in the den. Seeing the cop and the Boy with her mother. She had decided against following them into the kitchen, it being too close to her mother and too brightly lit for little goth bat to stay hidden; but she had seen the new boy being led to a room... and then an opening. He wanted a shower, and Mother wanted to get him some clothes. So once both were out of sight, she slipped into the room easily unnoticed. There, she waited in the closet til he returned, peering through a crack in the door and blushed as she saw he wasn't wearing any clothes and just slipped into bed. \n\nShe shook her head a bit as she gathered herself, so that she could enact her plan. She took to the ceiling as the boy tried to sleep and hung above him as she watched him. A new person in the house... a boy at that... and on top of that, he was a Skunk! That was what really piqued her curiosity. She had been something of a daddy's girl, and missed him... so another Skunk... well she knew the new boy wouldn't replace him, but still she liked the idea of trying to get close to him...\n\nBelow her, Treble tossed and turned on the bed; not used to the comfort and not used to the heat of the bedding... kicking the bedding off before long just from the heat and laying akimbo on the bed as he tries to sleep; still unaware of the bat overhead and of the view he is giving her of his body, malnourished and unkempt as it is. He looks like someone who has had a rough life... especially with that missing tail. Rhapsody blinks and wasn't expecting to be flashed a second time, she blushes deeply and in her fluster loses the grip on her perch and falls onto the bed...\n\nTreble wasn't expecting a good night's sleep... but that doesn't mean he was expecting someone to FALL on him in the middle of the night. He jolts awake with a startled yell, panicked that he's being attacked as he starts to thrash reflexively, causing Rhapsody to gasp and hold her wings up defensively as the boy flails about in surprise. As he wakes up more, the skunk blurts out, \"What... who...\" as his thrashing stops... just in time for him to awkwardly fall out of the bed, landing on his shoulders, ass up, with a thump and a groan.\n\nRhapsody smiles sheepishly. \"Hiiii...\" She says putting on as large a smile as possible and wiggles the fingers of her right hand in something of an embarrassed wave. \n\nTreble looks up from the floor at the figure peeking out from between his spread legs, his back laying against the side of the bed. He was having trouble making out who he was talking to in the dark, \"Uh... hi?\" Rhapsody's deep purple eyes were the most visible thing about her in the dark of the room, they almost seemed to glow against the blackness. As shapes started to take form as his vision adjusted to the dark room it was easy to tell that she was a bat from her silhouette. Certainly not Selene as the voice was completely different; kinda soft and sweet, sounding a bit nervous or shy rather than the gentle authority that Selene’s voice had.\n\nTreble, realizing this is one of Selene’s daughters, lifts a slow nervous hand to try to grab the bedding to pull over his crotch... kinda awkwardly from where he is laying, \"Um... who are you?\"\n\n\"Rhapsody!\" She replies as chipperly as she can.\n\n\"Right... and... um... why did you jump on me in the bed?\" Treble asks nervously at being alone with one of his new sisters, when Selene didn’t want that.\n\nRhapsody blushes some. \"I didn't jump... I fell.\"\n\n\"You... fell... on the bed...\" he repeats, then rubs his face and groans, \"Uh... right. What are... What are you doing here?\"\n\nRhapsody blinks softly. \"I need special permission to be in a room in my house?\" She asks, trying to come off as innocently as possible. \n\nTreble frowns, \"No... but... I assume you would have a reason at least...\" he replies while trying to shift from his fallen state to standing up, working to gather himself up a bit.\n\nRhapsody tilts her head slightly, \"Well there IS a strange boy in the house...\"\n\nHe grunts a little, wrapping a blanket around himself, \"Right, uh... yeah, I guess that makes sense.\"\n\n\"So, are you like a Nudist or something?\" Rhapsody asks as sits on the bed cross legged as she watches the boy with interest. \n\nTreble shakes his head, blushing \"No... I... I just sleep naked. There's nothing wrong with that! It's... it’s not like anyone's supposed to see me sleeping... normally.\"\n\nRhapsody grins sheepishly \"Oh, so you can.. have... um... ease of access to yourself?\" She giggles girlishly.\n\n\"Wait... were... were you hoping to catch me jerking off?\" The skunk asks with a blink. \n\nShe shakes her head. \"Nope. Never thought you'd be nude. I was curious about the new boy and came to get a better look... But clearly there must be a reason for sleeping like that, and boys supposedly only think about sex...\"\n\n\"All I was thinking about was getting into bed and falling asleep.\" He says honestly. He rubs his face with his hand, then sits down on the bed, \"You trying to tell me that girls don't think of sex?\n\n\"We do, just not as much as boys.\" Rhapsody replies, trying to look knowledgeable. \n\nTreble asks, \"So you've spent time as a boy?\"\n\n\"Everybody knows boys only think about sex once they hit puberty.\" Rhapsody shakes her head and states a bit matter-of-factly\n\nTreble takes a deep breath and rubs his face again, he just wants to sleep, he doesn't want to get into a one sided argument with an outdated sexist stereotype. He has no idea if this will work or not, but he tries to marshal up his strength and then opens his eyes and looks the bat right in her violet eyes, \"Fine... then for the next week, every time you think about sex, you are going to get flushed, dripping wet, and your nipples are going to get stiff and perky and you'll stay that way until you confess to someone that you were thinking about sex.\"\n\nThe bat girl blinks and cocks her head. \"Um... What are you doing? Are you trying to copy Mother? I'm not sure it's working for you...\"\n\n \"Of course...\" Treble replies sardonically before sighing and slumping his shoulder, then flopping back onto the bed.\n\n\"Of course?\" She asks curiously\n\n\"Don't worry about it.\" He mutters. \n\nRhapsody hmms softly, blinks and then shrugs with a bright smile. \"Alright then. So... I Got distracted, and never asked... Who are you?\" she asks as she effortlessly switches subjects.\n\n\"Huh... oh, uh... I'm...\" He blinks, pauses, then blinks again, \"Sorry, my head's kind of fuzzy... My name's... Treble...\" he says, not sounding one hundred percent certain of that.\n\nRhapsody cocks her head and then nods some. \"Alright Treble.\" She says and then smiles. \"So now the important stuff! What kinda music do you like? Who's your favorite superhero? What's the best Anime and why is it Spy x Family?\"\n\n\"Uh... punk... Venom... and what now?\" The boy replies in all seriousness. \n\n\"Spy X Family. Great adorable anime with spies and assassins and adorable telepathic kids!\"\n\nTreble frowns, \"Uh... what's an annie may?\"\n\nRhapsody looks almost offended by such a question. \"Seriously? What rock have you been living under?\"\n\n\"Uh... I was chained in a basement for a while... but... before that...\" he rubs his temples, \"Everything is a bit muddled...\"\n\nRhapsody hmms, not quite sure she believes him and asks. \"So you know who Venom is, but not Anime?\"\n\n\"Yeah... one of... uh...\" he rubs his temples again, giving a grunt as it looks like he's got a bit of a headache.\n\n\"Alright, it's clear I'll have to take matters into my own hands to correct this grave injustice upon you!\" Rhapsody states and pulls out her tablet, and puts on the first episode of Spy X Family. This was her idea of helping.\n\nThe skunk frowns, \"Look, um... not to sound ungrateful... but... could we do this like... tomorrow, after I've slept? Because... I am pretty sure I'm not going anywhere for a while. I was told I'm pretty much under house arrest, and it's been a really long day...\"\n\nRhapsody frowns softly, her ears drooping some. \"Oh... Okay...\"\n\n\"Thanks... sorry, it's just... not been a great day for me.\"\n\nRhapsody nods and gets up to leave you be. Treble flops back on his bed, sighing as he tries to let himself fall back asleep once the bat is gone, though her talk about jerking off, and the memory of her huge tits has him sporting an erection that is hard for him to ignore, making him toss and turn a bit on the bed. Luckily the rest of the night was rather uneventful for the skunk; No other visitors or disturbances, just as much sleep as he could possibly muster. \n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Chapter 2 - Here comes Treble

The tall blonde bat looks down to the younger Skunk, as he watches her with trepidation. "It will take a bit of arrangement, but when I am done; Casey Randal will no longer exist." Selene says, being very deliberate in her choice of wording; never telling the boy ‘you’. Casey frowns a little, but gives a bit of a nod, staying quiet as he considers that, not sure what to make of it.

Selene smiles. "I think you agree that Casey Randal is the problem in your life; because very bad people will be trying to find and use Casey Randal, and none of them know how to actually treat a kid. So what happens to those people if there is no Casey Randal to find?"

Casey considers that for a moment, then says, "I mean... I'd assume they'd just go on being bad guys on their own..."

Selene nods. "Bad guys that are much less competent and/or threatening than Steven Randal was. So the best way to protect you, and give you the best life possible... is by removing Casey Randal from the equation as much as possible."

"So... like... witness protection." Casey says. "I go into hiding the rest of my life, change my name... hope no one notices the missing tail."

Selene smiles and nods. "Something like that, yes." She says and takes a seat. "I am going to take you in as my son, luckily my husband just happened to be a skunk..." She says with a faint smile, she didn't want to reveal her hand too soon, not that she didn't trust him; but because seeing is better than just being told, especially with what she has in mind.

Casey thinks back to the photos he saw, then nods slowly, "Okay." looking a little conflicted by the idea, but only because he hasn't had the best family life so far.

"Like you said, you are going to need a new name; since for the good of your future, Casey Randal can no longer exist; and even keeping 'Casey' is likely gonna draw attention to you. But I've been thinking about this ever since I decided on this course of action."

The boy blinks, "Uh... okay... do I have options, or..."

Selene considers. "Not in this, I do have a... theme I guess you could say to naming my kids." She says with a soft giggle, "And it's not like my girls got to pick theirs." She says and looks at Casey. "From now on." She says and once  more you hear that melodic tone as she uses her abilities. "You are Treble Nightfang, that is the only name you've ever known."

The skunk blinks again, "Like... the music thing?" As the words Selene says start to take root in his mind, unlike most of her commands, rewriting a person’s entire history and memories takes a lot more time and effort.

Selene nods. "Your sisters are Rhapsody and Harmony." She says, slowly adding further information into her new son’s mind. Cas..Treble nods and swallows as he listens, taking that in, hugging himself as he considers it. He's never had sisters before, though given that Selene talks about living lifetimes, and the detective called her the 'old' bat... he idly wonders how old his 'sisters' are.

"Rhapsody and Harmony would be just about your age, Treble." Selene replies, reading the curiosity on Treble’s face. "Which would make you triplets." She states again with a faint giggle, as more of these core ideas take root in his mind.

Treble gives a self deprecating laugh at that, "I don't know if people will believe that I'm triplets with a pair of bats... even if their dad is a skunk..." rubbing the back of his neck, not being argumentative with this comments; it's just how his mind is processing the new reality being created with previous reality that he was used to...

Selene shrugs softly with a smile. "Genetics are weird, Your sisters take after me; you apparently take after your father, Matteo." She says pointedly in her melodic tone; making sure to remove the idea of Stephen Randal as the boy’s father. Treble shivers a bit, his ears flicking... not so much resistance to the idea, as it is not having any positive associations with the word 'father', he frowns a bit, then nods slowly and takes a deep breath.

Selene, once more seeming to read her new son, takes a deep breath as she speaks, this time to rewrite your concept of ‘Father’ beyond just name. "Your father was a good and kind man. He was a charitable businessman that tried to make life better for a lot of the downtrodden... but that would cut into the bottom line of Stephen Randal and had him... dealt with. Stephen Randal, killed your father."

It's hard to tell if that one stuck... especially with the skunk's reply, as he flinches and hugs himself tighter, saying softly, "I'm sorry..." as if he were somehow responsible for his former late father's actions.

“You have nothing to be sorry for, Treble." She commands. “You had no control over what happened with your father.” Casey had nothing to do with what Stephan did, and she knew that, and Treble could no less change Matteo’s fate. Treble nods slowly, still hugging himself. "Alright, since it is late I will show you to a room. This will be a temporary one, because I wish to have time to prepare a room specifically for you." She says and offers a hand to the skunk.

Treble nods his head, "Alright." moving to follow the woman... his mother... it still felt a bit weird to him as his mind adjusted... as he lets go of his waist to slip a hand into hers at her offered hand.

Selene leads Treble from the Kitchen into the hall and up stairs towards the west side of the manor. A few doors down she opens one and leads him in. It was typically a guest room, and it was decorated in a very generic, if somewhat feminine style.

Treble keeps an eye on his surroundings as he is led through the house; He pauses at the door to the bedroom, then asks, "Where is the bathroom? And... is there anywhere I can't go... other than outside the house?" wanting to make sure he doesn't cause any problems.

It was late, and Selene was planning to give a more official tour in the morning; as she figures the boy has had a long and rough day as would probably like to just sleep. Plus sleep will allow time for her magic to further rewrite his concept of self. "Down the hall to your right, the door is usually kept open less someone is using it; but that is doubtful since there is another one closer to your sisters." She says and nods. "As for off limits... Well... I would prefer it if you stayed to this side of the hallway away from your sisters; at least for the next day or so." She replies. "This is a big change, and there is a lot that needs to be done... And it'll be a bit simpler if I don't have to also keep a young boy from spying on some innocent girls." She says with a faint but teasing grin.

Treble nods his head at that, "Right... okay. Down the hall to the right. Don't go to the other side of the hallway. Don't make you worry..." seeming to take that last bit seriously.

Selene giggles slightly and ruffles Treble’s hair a bit. "Good boy." She says warmly.

The skunk blushes a bit at that, swallowing and nodding, "T... thanks?" managing a smile.

Selene giggles softly. "Nice to see you can actually smile, Treble." She replies "Anyways, as I figure you've had a full day; it's best you get some sleep in a real bed. In the morning, after breakfast I'll give you a tour of the grounds to give you a better idea of the layout of our home, since it's been awhile since you were last here.." She adds, with another bit of Melodic Magic.

Treble nods his head at that. "Thank you. Though... I think I'd like a shower first... I probably stink."

Selene nods softly, and decides to lead him to the bathroom so he can learn exactly where it is. "As you wish. Though sorry if all the soaps and stuff are more feminine then you'd prefer."

Treble says, "It's okay... I'll make do. It's better than just being hosed off with cold water." before stepping into the bathroom, only to hesitate, "Um... I only have these clothes..." which is pretty much second hand sweat pants and a police department t-shirt that they gave him when they took him in.

Selene hmms and ponders. "I might have something... but we'll have to take you shopping once I've gotten matters settled.

He nods at that, "I... just wanted to make sure... if I walk back to the room just wrapped in a towel, that it wouldn't cause a problem for you or your daughters..."

"It'll be fine for tonight, and there will be at least some kind of clothing options in your room when you are done. Just be aware that we've not had many guys in the house in the past few years." Selene replies.

He nods slowly, "Okay. Thank you." stepping the rest of the way into the bathroom before closing the door so that he can strip down and shower, taking as quick of one as he can manage, using the soap and conditioner that are in the shower without really paying attention to how they smell. Once he's washed and dried off, he makes his way back to the bedroom assigned to him.

When Treble returns to his current room, he finds some clothes folded on the bed. They aren't exactly his first choice; but they were clean. A pair of jean shorts, that look more fitting for a girl but at least seems to be fairly androgynous; and a somewhat oversized t-shirt considering how thin his frame is, advertising a girl band known as 'Iron Frill'

Treble plans to sleep, so he sets the clothing aside and lays the towel across a chair to dry off, then crawls naked into the bed, leaving the somewhat girly clothes for 'tomorrow's Treble' as a problem to deal with. He groans in relief at the feeling of a soft bed for a change, though tosses and turns a bit, despite being tired, his time spent as a captive on a bare mattress in little more than a cell has left the comfort a little... distracting. It takes him a while to actually start to drift off.

-----

Unbeknownst to him, Treble had a visitor as he slept. Slipping from out of the shadows was an auburn colored bat, with long black hair with a purple streak running through it. Rather busty with a long black shirt with a faded logo hanging off of her, long enough that anyone looking would question if she was wearing anything underneath. It was the form of his new sister. Rhapsody, having found that she was good at being rather undetectable when she wanted to be, that she would occasionally refer to herself as 'Solid Bat', though only in her head.

She had noticed the car pull up, and managed to keep to the shadows in the upper floors while watching and listening in the den. Seeing the cop and the Boy with her mother. She had decided against following them into the kitchen, it being too close to her mother and too brightly lit for little goth bat to stay hidden; but she had seen the new boy being led to a room... and then an opening. He wanted a shower, and Mother wanted to get him some clothes. So once both were out of sight, she slipped into the room easily unnoticed. There, she waited in the closet til he returned, peering through a crack in the door and blushed as she saw he wasn't wearing any clothes and just slipped into bed.

She shook her head a bit as she gathered herself, so that she could enact her plan. She took to the ceiling as the boy tried to sleep and hung above him as she watched him. A new person in the house... a boy at that... and on top of that, he was a Skunk! That was what really piqued her curiosity. She had been something of a daddy's girl, and missed him... so another Skunk... well she knew the new boy wouldn't replace him, but still she liked the idea of trying to get close to him...

Below her, Treble tossed and turned on the bed; not used to the comfort and not used to the heat of the bedding... kicking the bedding off before long just from the heat and laying akimbo on the bed as he tries to sleep; still unaware of the bat overhead and of the view he is giving her of his body, malnourished and unkempt as it is. He looks like someone who has had a rough life... especially with that missing tail. Rhapsody blinks and wasn't expecting to be flashed a second time, she blushes deeply and in her fluster loses the grip on her perch and falls onto the bed...

Treble wasn't expecting a good night's sleep... but that doesn't mean he was expecting someone to FALL on him in the middle of the night. He jolts awake with a startled yell, panicked that he's being attacked as he starts to thrash reflexively, causing Rhapsody to gasp and hold her wings up defensively as the boy flails about in surprise. As he wakes up more, the skunk blurts out, "What... who..." as his thrashing stops... just in time for him to awkwardly fall out of the bed, landing on his shoulders, ass up, with a thump and a groan.

Rhapsody smiles sheepishly. "Hiiii..." She says putting on as large a smile as possible and wiggles the fingers of her right hand in something of an embarrassed wave.  

Treble looks up from the floor at the figure peeking out from between his spread legs, his back laying against the side of the bed. He was having trouble making out who he was talking to in the dark, "Uh... hi?" Rhapsody's deep purple eyes were the most visible thing about her in the dark of the room, they almost seemed to glow against the blackness. As shapes started to take form as his vision adjusted to the dark room it was easy to tell that she was a bat from her silhouette. Certainly not Selene as the voice was completely different; kinda soft and sweet, sounding a bit nervous or shy rather than the gentle authority that Selene’s voice had.

Treble, realizing this is one of Selene’s daughters, lifts a slow nervous hand to try to grab the bedding to pull over his crotch... kinda awkwardly from where he is laying, "Um... who are you?"

"Rhapsody!" She replies as chipperly as she can.

"Right... and... um... why did you jump on me in the bed?" Treble asks nervously at being alone with one of his new sisters, when Selene didn’t want that.

Rhapsody blushes some. "I didn't jump... I fell."

"You... fell... on the bed..." he repeats, then rubs his face and groans, "Uh... right. What are... What are you doing here?"

Rhapsody blinks softly. "I need special permission to be in a room in my house?" She asks, trying to come off as innocently as possible.

Treble frowns, "No... but... I assume you would have a reason at least..." he replies while trying to shift from his fallen state to standing up, working to gather himself up a bit.

Rhapsody tilts her head slightly, "Well there IS a strange boy in the house..."

He grunts a little, wrapping a blanket around himself, "Right, uh... yeah, I guess that makes sense."

"So, are you like a Nudist or something?" Rhapsody asks as sits on the bed cross legged as she watches the boy with interest.

Treble shakes his head, blushing "No... I... I just sleep naked. There's nothing wrong with that! It's... it’s not like anyone's supposed to see me sleeping... normally."

Rhapsody grins sheepishly "Oh, so you can.. have... um... ease of access to yourself?" She giggles girlishly.

"Wait... were... were you hoping to catch me jerking off?" The skunk asks with a blink.

She shakes her head. "Nope. Never thought you'd be nude. I was curious about the new boy and came to get a better look... But clearly there must be a reason for sleeping like that, and boys supposedly only think about sex..."

"All I was thinking about was getting into bed and falling asleep." He says honestly. He rubs his face with his hand, then sits down on the bed, "You trying to tell me that girls don't think of sex?

"We do, just not as much as boys." Rhapsody replies, trying to look knowledgeable.

Treble asks, "So you've spent time as a boy?"

"Everybody knows boys only think about sex once they hit puberty." Rhapsody shakes her head and states a bit matter-of-factly

Treble takes a deep breath and rubs his face again, he just wants to sleep, he doesn't want to get into a one sided argument with an outdated sexist stereotype. He has no idea if this will work or not, but he tries to marshal up his strength and then opens his eyes and looks the bat right in her violet eyes, "Fine... then for the next week, every time you think about sex, you are going to get flushed, dripping wet, and your nipples are going to get stiff and perky and you'll stay that way until you confess to someone that you were thinking about sex."

The bat girl blinks and cocks her head. "Um... What are you doing? Are you trying to copy Mother? I'm not sure it's working for you..."

 "Of course..." Treble replies sardonically before sighing and slumping his shoulder, then flopping back onto the bed.

"Of course?" She asks curiously

"Don't worry about it." He mutters.

Rhapsody hmms softly, blinks and then shrugs with a bright smile. "Alright then. So... I Got distracted, and never asked... Who are you?" she asks as she effortlessly switches subjects.

"Huh... oh, uh... I'm..." He blinks, pauses, then blinks again, "Sorry, my head's kind of fuzzy... My name's... Treble..." he says, not sounding one hundred percent certain of that.

Rhapsody cocks her head and then nods some. "Alright Treble." She says and then smiles. "So now the important stuff! What kinda music do you like? Who's your favorite superhero? What's the best Anime and why is it Spy x Family?"

"Uh... punk... Venom... and what now?" The boy replies in all seriousness.

"Spy X Family. Great adorable anime with spies and assassins and adorable telepathic kids!"

Treble frowns, "Uh... what's an annie may?"

Rhapsody looks almost offended by such a question. "Seriously? What rock have you been living under?"

"Uh... I was chained in a basement for a while... but... before that..." he rubs his temples, "Everything is a bit muddled..."

Rhapsody hmms, not quite sure she believes him and asks. "So you know who Venom is, but not Anime?"

"Yeah... one of... uh..." he rubs his temples again, giving a grunt as it looks like he's got a bit of a headache.

"Alright, it's clear I'll have to take matters into my own hands to correct this grave injustice upon you!" Rhapsody states and pulls out her tablet, and puts on the first episode of Spy X Family. This was her idea of helping.

The skunk frowns, "Look, um... not to sound ungrateful... but... could we do this like... tomorrow, after I've slept? Because... I am pretty sure I'm not going anywhere for a while. I was told I'm pretty much under house arrest, and it's been a really long day..."

Rhapsody frowns softly, her ears drooping some. "Oh... Okay..."

"Thanks... sorry, it's just... not been a great day for me."

Rhapsody nods and gets up to leave you be. Treble flops back on his bed, sighing as he tries to let himself fall back asleep once the bat is gone, though her talk about jerking off, and the memory of her huge tits has him sporting an erection that is hard for him to ignore, making him toss and turn a bit on the bed. Luckily the rest of the night was rather uneventful for the skunk; No other visitors or disturbances, just as much sleep as he could possibly muster.
