TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

Care to hear about our lord and savior Operation: Mindcrime? In all seriousness: Hello, hello! I'm Pharaoh Leap – or just Leap – local head admin and rock opera enthusiast. On the rare chance you catch me in a time when I'm not bawling about characters entirely written into song, you may see me actually doing work around the site, like skinning, making too many characters, and encouraging others to also make too many characters. I only know how to write angst, and in no fewer than six trillion words an app or post, so if you like dying while reading like I like dying while writing, I'm the girl for you. ;o
Howdy guys! The names Astro and I am your resident Brit & Red muse (you'll honestly see me more on him than any of my other characters). I'm a moderator and my main job is to make sure everything is running smoothly so the Admins can focus on other things, you'll often see me within the apps and shops, etc when I'm not on Red. What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy. Anyway, from my personally I hope that you enjoy the site and what we produce here but also if you're new, please look around and if you like what you see please consider joining for rad plots that everyone gives! :D
Hey there~ Nano over here! I uh.. Wait, I'm doing this right, right? Bleh. So I'm a moderator over here - fun, fun - who kind of just.. Keeps an eye on everyone. You know, the whole app thing and what not. Uh.. Lets see.. When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me? Oh, right! Please excuse my obnoxiousness. I'm just really loud in general so don't be surprised if I start screaming as loudly as I can caps. So yeah. Nice meeting you!

...And that. That right there was exactly why he was asleep at his desk for...what? The second time that week? Possibly third? Either way, a particular, darker haired man found himself sitting down at his own, personalized office desk; files and picture frames surrounding the general vicinity of his own form as a computer monitor remained in sleep mode not too far away from an extended hand of his as it rested upon the wooden surface itself. While that hand remained outstretched and closer to the keyboard connected to the piece of technology, the remaining arm bent at an angle; the forearm curled closer inwards to his form in order to serve as a makeshift pillow as he rested his forehead upon it gently. The form of his back lifted and lowered within a soft and silently rhythmic manner as he laid upon the desk; only shifting faintly as he felt a small tapping upon the base of his chair’s armrest.[break][break]
With a low, drowsy murmur within foreign tongues, Shi Bo shifted faintly from his formerly undisturbed slumber; lifting his head slightly and wearily while opening his eyes. Azure voids casted their narrowed, tired gazes upon the smoothed surfaces of the desk itself before gradually shifting around with the tilt of his head; peering across the various papers he left spread out before him before he himself lifting his form enough to properly sit up. A soft yawn escaped his lips as he glanced over the side of his seat, quickly catching sight of a child - a little boy, more specifically - who seemed intent upon trying to climb up through the space that the rest itself provided. He blinked while allowing the sight to register within his mind before smiling and laughing quietly.[break][break]
”Haha… What’re you doing there, eh, buddy…?” he chuckled quietly, raising a brow as he leaned over to gently and carefully pick the child up. He sat him atop the armrest while giving him an amused smile. ”You wanted to sneak away from Mommy that bad~...?”

"I wanna see Daddy!" [break] "Jared, daddy is busy right now."[break] "... But I wanna see daddy!" [break] "After he's done his work, okay, honey?"[break]
She's saying that, but she probably knows fully well that he's asleep. She's saying that, but she probably knows that he went out of his way to pull another all-nighter, only to pass out on top of his desk with a plop. The emerald haired woman was less than pleased with the thought, especially how he seemed to be pushing himself more than he usually did this particular week. Even though she's always been occasionally nagging him to head up to bed on time as to not screw up his sleep schedule even further, he seemed more adamant and intent on staying up to finish the rest of his work. Though she admits that she hadn't a clue of what it's like to work as a CEO of a grand company and all.. she does know of the work load, and she's more than familiar of the need to stay up later to complete any work. Years and years of pulling all-nighters for the sake of studying and cramming for exams even after weeks of review beforehand does that to her. But studious as she may be, she at the very least wished that he could.. Try to maintain a proper sleep pattern. What is he to do if he finds it difficult to sleep in sufficient amounts? [break][break]
Ghost type he may be, there's a reason he has the limbs and general body of a human. [break][break]
There was little work for Faye to be doing, in comparison to her husband. As a scientist working for the Parallax, she was only thankful that she was working with a group. It was a group effort and though she's less than keen on dispersing the work, she's thankful that the majority of her peers were efficient this time around. The work force was nothing like the school peers, however there is still that rare worker who wouldn't do any work-- But that was often due to personal or family issues. Issues that she, herself, could understand to some extent. But with this newfound time on her hands, Faye decided to take her hand up on doing more.. Domestic tasks around the house. Cooking, cleaning and the like. The generic thing that a woman is supposed to do at home, but that never stopped Shi Bo from occasionally doing things with or for her. For the time being, however, she was down in the kitchen. The pan sizzled a slight bit as the scent of bacon wafted through the air. In her other hand is a wooden spatula, gently prodding at the meat to have it cook evenly. At her side and a safe way from whatever jumping oils there may be, was a petite boy who was intently watching her cook. [break][break]
"Is it done yeeeet?" [break][break]
He glances up to his mother in a curious manner, which is only greeted with a small smile. "Almost, dear." and with a quiet hum, Faye begins to prod more at the strips of bacon before flipping them over. The sizzling sound along with the fan above fill the kitchen, but thankfully, it's not loud enough to wake anyone up from their slumbers. However as she's grilling the meat, her golden eyes glance over to her son who seemed to be growing.. Increasingly impatient. The gardevoir woman's ears twitch the tiniest bit before a small sigh escapes her lips. "How about this?" She starts. The tiny ralts boy turns his head to look up at her, more in interest. "How about you go wake daddy up, hm? Then, we can surprise him with breakfast~" A small smile pulls at her lips. Surely, Shi Bo wouldn't mind waking up to his son. With a brightening gleam, the young boy hops off the chair to run over to the office door. Though tiny, his footsteps echo against the ground with near enthusiasm. Faye giggles the tiniest bit while her eyes wander back down to the food. [break][break]
It's not long until she reaches over to turn the stove off and lift the pan up from it's burner. She uses the said spatula to gently push the meat onto a plate, paired with a tomato omelette, a bowl of rice and a hashbrown at the side. "Mmn.. That should be good~" She muses to herself. And with that, Faye's about to life the plate and turn around until she feels a sudden weight on her leg. Her eyes drift downwards to meet the bright, blue eyes of a little girl. A wooden tail stuck up from her behind, all while she was wearing a pikachu hoodie herself. Faye pauses for a moment before her eyes release that subtle, blue glow. A soft, blue lining envelopes the Mimikyu gijinka, using said psychic to place the toddler in her free arm. "Hello there, Cheryl~ Do you want to help Mommy give Daddy some breakfast?" Though she doesn't expect a response, Faye smiles nonetheless and makes smooth and careful strides down the hall. With Cheryl in one arm, and the plate of food in the other. It's not long until she arrives at an open door, hearing the voices from beyond the walls. [break][break]
With a soft giggle, Faye makes her way into the office. "He was getting impatient because Daddy wasn't there to eat breakfast with him." She voices in response. Cheryl on the other hand, begins to reach over her for the plate of food, much to Faye's subtle disdain. Nevertheless, she's trying to casually brush it off. [break][break]
Casually. [break][break]
The gardevoir gijinka makes her way over to his desk, briefly searching for a free space before placing the plate of food down before him. "Shi.. This is the third time this week. I understand you're busy, but you really shouldn't overwork yourself until you pass out~" She glances over to the toddler in her arms. "Right? You two should scold Daddy for not getting enough sleep." And there goes the playful goading. Even though she's speaking in a relatively flat tone, she doesn't make an effort to hide the near smirk on her face.

[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]Even before the others themselves entered the room, the man himself already found himself having a somewhat animated and engaging conversation with the very same, little boy that he took the liberty of transferring to the desk. With a soft cross between a laugh and a yawn, Shi Bo balanced his elbows upon the desk while cradling either side of his face within his palms within a rather lazy manner; giving the aforementioned boy an amused - albeit a tad tired - smirk as he tilted his head and twitched those small Gengar ears of his in curiosity, endearment, and interest all the same.
”Aha~... So Mommy wanted you to wake me up?” “Mhm! She did!” ”And why’s that, exactly~?” “Because she made breakfast!” ”Aaaah~... Is that so, then?” “Mhm~! And I wanted to see you, too!”
With those last few words, the man eyed his child for several moments more before closing his eyes and broadening his smile; allowing another chuckle to escape his lips as he shook his head gently. Not too long afterwards, he opened his eyes just as quickly as he closed them; focusing them upon the Ralts gijinka who then sat cross legged upon the desk before him before lifting his head just enough to be able to lift one of his hands up and away from his chin. Soon after doing so, he reached out with the aforementioned hand in order to place it atop the younger one’s head while patting it softly before nestling his fingers into his hair to give it a gentle, yet playful ruffle all the same; the gesture in itself prompting the psychic type to return the smile that he was given with an equally as bright version of his own. For a short duration of time, Shi Bo found himself playing around with his son’s hands as Jared tried to bat him away with no avail; something that eventually and briefly ended up with the two of them laughing as the father took care to reach out a little bit more to begin tickling the kid in good humor and practice alike.
Only when the other two entered did he actually stop; azure voids of his peering over to eye the woman and the younger toddler for several moments before he himself gave them both a smile while leaning back in his seat and rubbing his neck. He listened to his wife’s remarks with a gentle sigh; chuckling quietly all the while. ”Eheh~... Mmn… I’m sorry about that~. You know I am,” he started off with a casual shrug. He paused for a small while as he shifted his gaze over towards Jared once more; watching as he slipped off of the desk and into his lap in order to make room, and he peered over towards the food that was placed before him within his midst all the while. His smile grew amused yet vaguely defeated all the same, and he merely gave the boy’s head another, softer pat before taking care to look up towards the Gardevoir gijinka herself yet again. ”You know how it is, though… Gotta get all this done in a timely manner~.”
He shrugged again before reaching out to take her other hand; free from the plate, and thus easily susceptible to a quick peck in thanks before he broadened his smile once more.
”...Thanks, though, Fairy~,” he added soon afterwards with a nod. ”You know I appreciate your concern~. ...Just as much as I enjoy your cooking~.”

The children seemed to be enjoying the company of both parents, and Faye couldn't help but to giggle softly at the sight of their son playing around with his father. Shi, too, seemed more than content playing around with his son while Faye was making sure that their daughter wasn't going to be falling off of her shoulders with how the mimikyu child was scurrying around. Floppy, clothed pikachu ears fall over the eyes of her poorly drawn mask, something that prompted a whine of the petite child. With a soft smile, the gardevoir woman shifts her arms to cradle the toddler in one arm before using the other to move them away from Cheryl's face. "No need to hide behind that mask, Cheryl~.." But she knows that it doesn't matter, how many times she tries to reassure the little girl. By this time, she's accepted that their little Mimikyu girl was probably going to be a shy little one with how attached she was to hiding behind that makeshift mask she's crafted. With that, Faye slowly lifts the girl up to peck the top of her forehead through said mask and hoodie. [break][break]
Her gaze trails back down to Shi Bo, who takes a moment to sneak in a peck on her fingers. For a moment, the woman's bright, amber eyes register his actions before lifting that same hand up to gently flick at the twitching gengar ears sticking out the top of his head. ".. Mmn. I would hope so~" The woman gives him a small smile in response. She slowly begins to shift her posture to lean on her back foot, eyes drifting away from him briefly to catch a stray chair in the room. She thankfully didn't have any more work today, so there wasn't as much research that she needed to be doing. That also means that she can stay at home with the kids and her husband for the day, which is more than a welcome event. Shortly afterwords, the woman moves away from him to grab onto a chair and pull it over. She seats herself down, across from Shi Bo and Jared who's more than content propped onto his father's lap. Faye makes sure to place Cheryl onto her lap, arms protectively hugging the little girl's back against her stomach. Although she arches her back a tiny bit, looking up and over to Jared with that small smile. "Even then, it's not good for your health to overwork all the time. Isn't that right, Jared?" Faye lowers her voice to a softer tone, green bangs falling over her face as she gently tilts her head. [break][break]
"Don't you think so too, Cheryl?" And she tucks her chin in to look down at the toddler in her lap. Though she knows the little girl won't give her a direct answer, the quiet sounds she was making while sticking out her arms at her mother's face was more than enough. Just gently poking her fingers at her cheeks, lips, chine-- Anything, really. The gardevoir flinches a bit as she's suddenly poked, only to lean back into the seat. The little girl with the jet black hair like her father and amber eyes like her mother, along with the boy with the green bowl cut (with courtesy to the ralts gijinka in him) and bright blue eyes underneath. Mmn.. They were her little treasures, no matter how curious and how much trouble they may or may occasionally get themselves into. [break][break]
Now, she would be a wonderful wife and continue scolding him, but he would probably like to get back to his breakfast. Her resolve was to give him a break for the time being-- But that by no means he can assume that she'll let him off the hook. This was about.. The third time this week? While she's understanding of his work, it's always worrisome when he comes home late in the night from the other job, and works through it to finish up with the work he does in the day. The occasional and unintentional neglectful behaviour towards his own health, paired with the default risks of his underground duties.. Well, she's in a proper position to worry, does she not? Of course she does. And so Faye lowers both her hands and sticks her fingers out, allowing Cheryl to wrap her hands around them while quietly chiming. "... I understand that you have work to do but.. please be more mindful of your health." Her eyes slowly raise from the girl in her lap and up to meet he who was sitting across the table. "You cannot complete work if you're too tired for it." [break][break]
And in spite of how she is usually calm and collected.. Arceus knows that she says this because of any underlying paranoia, anxiety and unspoken fear.

[attr="class","mouths1"]At first, he gave her a soft whine and pout alike upon feeling her flick at his ears; twitching them once more out of instinct while softly and briefly taking her hand within his own one more before batting at it gently. ”I’m soooorry~...!” he mused aloud with an amused chuckle, batting at her for a couple of moments more before reeling his own hand away in order to let her seat herself, as well. Throughout the time that she had been pulling another chair over and seating herself down, he took a moment to peer down at his little boy, who - much to his chagrin and amusement alike - had already been acting upon his mother’s earlier inquiry; poking up and rapidly at his father within an obnoxious but playful manner as he scolded him for staying up a little bit more. Shi Bo himself laughed and whined at the notions; softly using his own hand to push Jared’s away and softly flicking his forehead before ruffling his hair. ”Mmn… You know I’m trying my best, though~,” he went on after a short while, lifting his head to peer over at Faye yet again. ”If I could help the amount of work that comes my way, then I’d gladly take a little bit more to kick back and relax. Buuut...I can’t~. So...sometimes, I can’t really help it~.”
With those words, the man took care to briefly avert his gaze from the two sitting before him for sake of focusing upon the food that she had so graciously gone out of her way to prepare for him, on top of bringing it directly to him. The smile that he wore broadened a faint degree upon recollection of the thought, and with a shake of the head, he chuckled quietly before finally reaching up to take hold of the spoon itself; using it to cut a small portion of the omelette off and placing it over a small portion of the rice that came with it. After breaking a small portion of the bacon off and scooting it closer to the piece of the egg, he scooped it up altogether with a small mound of rice; about to take a bite of it, though stopping short as he felt the boy within his lap tugging on his sleeve softly. Azure voids of his blinked softly while registering the gesture - as well as the look the child gave him - though after a short amount of time, he smiled a slight bit wider before ruffling the younger gijinka’s hair. Within a smooth and playful motion, he moved the spoon around within the air several times; something akin to how someone would pretend that the utensil was an airplane, or even a race car, before delivering it into a younger toddler’s mouth. Once the Ralts boy had taken his bite and chewed quietly and happily, his Gengar father laughed and pecked the top of his head while prepping another bite for himself.
”For what it’s worth, though…? If it makes you feel any better, I can promise to at least take it easy for today. Mmn~?” He paused shortly after finishing the more or less minor preparation for the next bite of food; ensuring that both the bacon and egg alike would be paired with the rice before placing it in his mouth and chewing with a soft sigh and hum alike. All the while, he took note of how Jared not so subtly reached over for the fork in order to steal a small portion of the hashed browns for himself, as well, though rather than scolding him for doing so, Shi Bo merely smiled while ruffling his hair again. He lifted his free hand soon afterwards and held it above his mouth for sake of covering it while he spoke mid chew, since...quite frankly, no one needed to see that gross action as he chewed and whatnot. ”I already finished most of everything last night, so...I should have some free time today,” he went on afterwards, taking care to swallow appropriately while fixing a third bite up. His smile grew a little bit more as he tilted his head; gazing Faye’s way as his ears flickered gently once more. ”...If you’re up for it, maybe we could even go somewhere today~? Y’know… An outing with the kids~. ...Unless you’d rather we just stay home and whatnot~.”
