Roasted Chestnut's Links
"Fun.nel. Cake. is. a. sib.ling. to. me, more. than. a. best. friend. They. took. me. in. when. I. was. terr.i.fied. and. NEED.ED. to. be. res.cued. from. the. si.tu.a.tion. I. was. in, let. me. in.to. their. home. with. their. bro.thers, and. helped. me. be.come. ME. The. folk. is. a. bas.tard, as. most. ol.der. sib.lings. are, but. I. hold. them. ver.y. dear. to. me."
-Roasted loves Funnel more than he could ever put into words, he'll never deny that, but with that love comes the never-ending, Cain Instinct urge to bother the shit out of them. The amount of times Roasted has deliberately run at Funnel to get them to catch him in their arms and made them shatter a mug on the ground to do so is off the charts.
"Without a doubt in my mind, Roasted is one of my best friends. The guy is a BROTHER to me, got adopted into my family after all we went through. Our initial meeting was a bit...unorthodox, he came to me injured and panicked and needing any help he could get and I gave him all the help I could give. He stayed with me and my brothers for a year or two, recovering and becoming his own man, until he moved out to a place of his own. He still works at the circus, he's the prima ballerino!"
-Funnel is endlessly protective of Roasted, considering his past, but with being his older sibling, they also jump at any chance to embarrass him a little. There's no greater amusement to Funnel than watching Roasted turn pink because they brought up something silly he did a while back whenever Roasted is talking to someone.
"Oooh, Pop.py..." *chuckle* "That. young. man. scares. the. ab.so.lute. hell. out. of. me. with. the. way. he. drives. and. pick.ing. up. lunch. for. the. cir.cus. with. him. is. hell. on. earth, but. that. is.n't. to. say. I. do. not. like. him! We. share. mu.sic. of.ten. and, out. of. the. ot.her. sec.tors, the. bal.let. and. the. tra.peze. ar.tists. col.la.bor.ate. the. most!"
"Out of the five of us Leaders, I think Roasted is the one I'm the least close with, but that's not to say we aren't close at all! Him and I just don't get to hang out one on one very often because the way I drive scares the shite outta him." *snrk!* "But I do like the time we do spend together! His music taste is INCREDIBLE!"
"I. know. I. can't. get. him. to. for.give. me. in. a. day, that's. un.real.is.tic, and. I. know. that. I. should.n't. still. feel. so. guil.ty. o.ver. some.thing. I. could.n't. con.trol.... but. I'm. still. so. sor.ry.... I. hope. we. can. be. friends. some.day."
"Hmph. I'm... trying. I know now that what happened that night wasn't entirely his fault, but... it's not something you can just let go after one day."
"Ah. M-Miss. Pir.ou.line... She's. ver.y. sweet. to. me. and. I've. had. a. few. of. my. bal.ler.in.as. re.fer. to. her. as. my. 'wine. aunt.' and, se.par.ate.ly, I. know. what. those. words. mean, heh. She. truth.ful.ly. helped. me. with. o.pen.ing. up. more. here. at. the. cir.cus!"
"Roasted is basically my nephew, by choice! He was shy and stand-offish at first, you'll probably hear him described as cold, but the child is a big wintery teddy bear when you get to know him."
"De.tec.tive. Fire.ball. is. one. of. the. cool.est. peo.ple. I've. ev.er. heard. of. in. my. life. And. then. I. turn. a.round. and. find. out. that. he's. just. hang.ing. out. at. my. girl.friend's. mom's. place? I. get. a. bit. dork.y. a.round. him, ad.mit.ted.ly, but. he. luck.i.ly. does.n't. seem. to. mind."
"Ah, the nutcracker lad! A don't talk to him as often as A see him, given that he's my wife's daughter's boyfriend, but he's a respectable man. He reads Vigilante Comet too, so he gets a little starry-eyed when A come around, heh."
"Min valp~! Dog. Bis.cuit. and. I. were. at. odds. when. I. first. ar.rived; I. thought. she. was. a. brash, an.noy.ing, dir.ty. brute. a.long.side. her. loud. and. wild. crew. and. her. and. her. clowns. con.stant.ly. im.ped.ed. me. and. my. bal.ler.in.as, or. at. least. that's. what. I'd. say. a.bout. it. But. then. Fun.nel. forced. us. to. change. sec.tors. and. put. on. a. show. that. way- which. we. did. per.fect.ly -I. in.vit.ed. her. to. go. with. me. to. my. fav.or.ite. bal.let. I. did.n't. real.ize. my. feel.ings. for. her. at. first, I. thought. my. fun.ny. chest. feel.ings. were. phy.si.cal. and. not. e.mo.tion.al, but. as. you. can. see, I. fig.ured. it. out~!"
"Heehee! Fuckin' pretty boy~... I'll admit to it in a heartbeat, I couldn't stand Roasted at first, fuckin' hated the guy. I thought he was a pretentious uptight ice-skatin' asshole- and I was right, ha! -but after Funnel made us swap teams and do that show together and he took me on that super sweet date to the ballet he had backstage passes for, I ended up gettin' all soft for the guy. Now he's my nutmeg puddin' and I couldn't love him more~...."
"DOG BISCUIT GOT US TICKETS FOR HER TRAIN WHEN WE WENT ON OUR DATE AND I HAD NEVER BEEN HAPPIER! THE CHUGGA CHUGGA CHOCO EXPRESS IS BEAUTIFUL!!"
"He was no 'picture on the wall' patron, but he sure was excitable, looking at everything he could with who I could only assume was his girlfriend. He was cute, hehehe!!"
"This. guy. want.ed. to. fight. me? For, like, MONTHS. on. end? He's. a. great. friend. and. I. love. him. and. I. was. hap.py. to. help. him. with. what. he. had. go.ing. on, but. he's. the. rea.son. I. had. to. keep. a. fire. lit. in. my. fire.place."
“THE NUTCRACKER! My greatest rival and enemy- and greatest friend, heheh. Our rivalry’s climactic battle may have come and gone, but it’s flames still burn brilliantly!”
