*walks into the apartment door* o.O "This is the apartment we rented when we were here last..."

[Jacinth Visor]

That evening Jenzen found Jacinth on her knees in the bathroom scrubbing the hydroshower in her bathroom by hand. "Mom..? what are you doing?"
"This thing was filthy! I'm not taking a shower in it and," grunts as she twisted her back a little to stretch it then continued to scrub. "You guys aren't taking showers in yours until I scrub that one clean too!"
"What? What's wrong with it? They were clean when we got here!"
"Not at all! You can't see germs, and who knows how thoroughly they cleaned this whole place!"
"Mom, not everybody has the standards you do."
*sits back and looks at him* "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Not everything is as clean as the palace."
"Yes," *continues to scrub* but those were the standards I grew up with in the temple and the palace and they're going to continue to be my standards! And it wouldn't hurt for you to adopt a few good habits either! Now shoo before I make you clean the other one! Wait.. that's not a bad idea.."
"What? No, it's a terrible idea!"
"Nope, I've made up my mind, go clean your refresher! And I want it CLEAN."
*groans* "thanks a lot mom.."

[Jacinth Visor]

Skandar walked into his shared bathroom and saw Jenzen scrubbing out the bathtub, "what are you doing, Jenz?"
*grunts* "what's it looks like, squirt, I'm cleaning"
"Why? It didn't look dirty at all."
"Mom's making me, she says we can't see germs, and apparently there was some kind of layer of soap scum that she says we don't see because we're not women or something like that.."
"Oh.." *closes the toilet seat and sits on it* "When is dad and the others getting back?"
"I don't know" *scrubs* "Mom gave him a big list.. but then again" *straightens up to rest* "Dad's used to grocery shopping, so he's pretty fast.."
"I'm going to be tested to see if I'm force sensitive.."
*studies him* "are you nervous?"
*nods*
"Ah, don't be. I remember being tested, Crie Crystle did it. She was cool. But don't worry about it, just be honest."
"I'm just scared that I won't pass and I won't get to be a jedi.."
"Don't worry about that, if you do, you do, if you don't, you don't. There's nothing you can do."
"Mom and dad will be disappointed though."
*scrubs* "nah, they love all of us no matter how force sensitive we are. To tell you the truth, mom probably wants one of us to stay home with her. You know, she gets all sentimental."
"Yeah.. mushy.."
*laughs and rinses out the tub*

[Jacinth Visor]

Jacinth had just happened to be walking past when they said that, "I heard that!" she said as she continued down the hall.
*looks at Jenz*
*looks at Skandar then laughs*

[Jacinth Visor]

Down the hall a crashing noise was heard. Jenzen looked at Skandar then both of the boys sprang up and ran out into the living room. "Mom, what was that? Mom?" Jenz glanced around.
"Where is she??"
"I- I don't know!" *runs to the speeder dock and looks around outside*
"JENZEN!!!!"
*runs back inside and into the kitchen where Skandar was* "Skandar, go call dad."
"is she-"
"Get the flippin trippin com and call dad!!!!" *kneels down by Jacinth who is laying in a pool of her own blood*

[Jacinth Visor]

Skandar ran back into the kitchen with the comlink crying. "He says he doesn't want to RP"
*picks up the comlink from Skandar's sad hands and throws it out the window where it hits a blonde 18 year old guy driving by on his way to the grocery store who ended up landing ontop of a poor woman's nail buffing stand who's name was Minka and she only lived off of that stand and had no other means of supporting herself..* "men are stupid!" *kneels by Jacinth* "it's too late, she's gone, she's dead, it's over, Skandar.. it's all over.."

[Jacinth Visor]

"Are.. are you serious?"
"Yes.. I'm more serious than I've ever been in my entire life.."
*sirens sound as a police officer walks in* *leans over Jace and checks her pulse* *sigh* *stands up and stares at her* "She's gone boys.. it seems like an over-dose of bathtub cleaner chemicals.."
"Mom liked things to be cleaned."
"But.. why the blood?"
"it came out her ears.."
*bursts into tears* "WHY, mom, WHY'd you have to be a clean freak!??! *falls to his knees and pitifully cries, tears of a broken-hearted 14-year-old mingled with his mothers blood*
*folds his hands and bows his head in respekt* "Looks like the thing she loved the most ended up killing her in the end.."

[Jacinth Visor]

*Kalo walks in* "Hi guys who's the cop? Is he staying for dinner? I got noodles! "
"Mom died."
"Oh? Oh.. oh no.. oh that's sad.. really?" *walks around the kitchen island and see's Jace* *screams* "Jace honey you died on your clean tile! How could you? you'd think that would drive her crazy in the afterlife.. well we'd better clean it up so that she doesn't come back and haunt us in our sleep!"
"That's all you care about?"
"Of course not you goose! Now let's just go put her in bed and clean up all this kool aid."
"It's not kool aid, dad, it's blood."
"Of course it isn't blood, Skandar, your mom would have more sense than to pull a prank like this with real blood!"
"It's not a prank dad. she's dead."
"No she's not " *walks up to Jace* "Jace honey, you can stop pretending now " ... "Jace.." *nudges Jace's limp arm with his foot* "JaaaaAAaaceee.. the chow mein is getting cold.." .... she is dead.."

[Jacinth Visor]

"The boys tried to tell you sir.."
*sinks to his knees* "but.. but she pulls a prank like this every 29th tuesday of the year!" *looks down at the portable calender on his wrist at the bleak square that read FRIDAY* "oh.. she's gone. and it's all my fault!!!! I should have been here to catch her before she hit her head so hard "
"She died from toxic fumes.."
"Oh.. then I guess it wasn't my fault.."
*looks outside and see's it's morning already* "I bet Soleia will be making pancakes today, it's a pancake day, I can feel it. Perhaps they'll come over and share some since we don't have a mother that can make us pancakes anymore.."
<_< "I can make pancakes."
"But you're not a mother"
>_> "I was pancake making champion 58 times in a row on Meetu!! And then JoeJoe Frapacino and to come in and sweep up the 59th win with his douple mocha latte triple cream tall decaf frappacapparappacino cake surprise!!!" *falls to his knees and cries over his downfall*
*murmurs to jenz* "those kind of sound good."
"They were CRAP! Crap I tell you!!!!" *breathes in a raspy breath* "DARN YOU JOE JOE FRAPACINO!!!!!!!!"

[Jacinth Visor]

*Murmurs* "he used poop in his cakes?"
"That's not what he meant"
"Yes it is T.T He used it to add the extra flavor."

Jenz:
..
*sniff* "that was the "surprise" part of the pancake.."

[Jacinth Visor]

Jenzen stared at the man with the most disgusted look on his face that he's ever used. It would come close to a face a person might use if they were bending over on the subway to tie their shoe and a male about the age of 58 who was on his way to buy a knew rollex farted in his face. He finally asked, in a similarly disgusted tone, "that's.. legal-"
"Of course it is! It's legal in 78 different planets!"
*swallows* "do.. you-"
"Heaven's to betsy boy, I'd never put dung in my pancakes. no, no, no." *stands up* "My pancakes are 100% certified dung-free! ;D"
*stands up and shakes the officer's hand* "You are my new best friend, a kindred spirit, my bosom friend. What's your name?"
"Fredrick P. Butterbottom" ;D
Skandar burst into an immediate fit of laughter.
*looks at Skandar and then at Fred* "Don't mind him.. Frederick, I can tell we are going to be good friends. Best friends, great friends! Friends that will stay up and read other friends' RP posts, no matter how tired they are! Friends that will loan other friends their underwear when the other is without! Friends that-"
"Uh. I get the idea.."

[Jacinth Visor]

"But I'd be happy to be your friend! I've never had many friends when I was younger, kids laffed at my cuz I was kind of nerdy.. and then I joined the military, even though I was only 13.. and then I almost died! But I lived "
"Ever since my wife died I've felt a loneliness. It'll be nice to have a good friend around to talk to, share sorrows with, play the xbox with.. eat junk food with."
"I'm a vegan!
"That eats pancakes?"
"yup!" "
"Wait- since your wife died! She just died today!!"
"Last night."
There was a quick knock at the door and then Soleia entered. "Hey guys I brought some pancakes-" *see's everyone standing around* "why the long faces?" *walks around the kitchen island and see's that there is blood on the floor..* "What happened here? Who could have done this?" *kneels by Jace* "Why? WHY!?!?!?!?!?"

[Jacinth Visor]

"She died from bathtub cleaner.."
"That's impossible, she's built up an immunity to bathtub cleaner ever since she was 14 so that she could clean as often as she wanted." *looks up at Kalo* "This was YOUR fault!!!!!" *points dramatically at him*
"ME?? How is it my fault? I was grocery shopping!"
*murmur* "when I called him he said he didn't want to roleplay.."
"You never appreciated her enough!!!" *stands up*
"Soleia, you're insane! My allegiance is to Jacinth, to my family!"
*puts her index finger and thumb together*
*choke* "Soleia.." *puts his hands to his throat* "I.. I did- Sol-"
"You will NEVER harm another house-wife again!" Hate and furry burned in the depths of her pupils as she bitterly poured all her energy and focus into slowly but effectively choking her cousin.
His eyes rolled to the back of his head as he turned a limp as a warm piece of lettuce in the bottom of a ceasar salad bowl.
Soleia released him and let him fall to the floor.
Jenz and Skandar stared at their dead parents laying there, unsure of what to do.
*straightens out her tunic* "Want to get ice cream?"
"YEAH!"
*looks at Fredrick* "Ice cream?"
*shakes his head*
"Ok.. come on.." *starts to walk to the door* "wait, where are the triplets?"
*looks around* "I don't know.."

[Jacinth Visor]

"Well we can't just leave them, sillies! Look around! Search ever rock, every pillow" *looks under a couch cushion*
"Uh, aunt Sol.. they went with dad.."
"And they didn't come BACK with dad- er Kalo??"
*shrug*
*blinks at them*
"LOOOK!!!!!!" *points out the window*
Soleia and Jenzen and Fredrick P. Butterbottom ran to the windows and peered out with the peeringest of peering eyes.
"Great Gatsby!!! HOT DOG PEOPLE!!!!" *turns away from the window and speaks silently to herself* "We can hold up here for a while, Kalo just go groceries.. perhaps we can use morse code to send messages to the people next door.. Jenz" *turns to Jenz* "Where do your parents keep the explosives??"
