Chibi-fic: Why Cain Hates Surprises (little spoiler alert)

**Risu-chan** · March 10th, 2003, 03:16 AM

(sweatdrop) I mentioned needing a break from the angstfest, right? There was supposed to be a little mini-comic to go with this, but my line control wasn't clicking well enough to make it possible to distinguish three pale-haired chibi-guys in suits from each other and I didn't have the patience to go through redrawing and inking it all, so... ^^;;;

One mini-spoiler: Later on, Oscar gets himself fixated on the idea of marrying Merry when she grows up some. Cain, needless to say, is far from thrilled about this notion of his...

Why Cain Hates Surprises

(thought bubble: Can't a guy be left to have a bad day in peace?)

[chibi-Cain moping along with his own personal little raincloud raining on his head...]

Chibi-Oscar (popping out of nowhere): SURPRIIIIIISE!

Chibi-Cain (jump-back): GAAH! (sweatdrop, then) Don't DO that!

Chibi-Oscar (ha ha ha): No such luck, big-brother-to-be! (gee I love torturing him...)

Chibi-Cain (face in one hand): Only in *your* sick little fantasy world! (For Pete's sake. Just when I thought the day couldn't get any worse...)

Chibi-Oscar: Well, moving right along -- (ta-da: elaborately overfrosted birthday cake! Hauled in by Riff, who's looking very pained with a party hat on...) Happy birthday!

Chibi-Cain: (facefault) It's NOT my birthday!

Chibi-Oscar (half-lidded eyes): You don't say. (The kid's been seventeen for the past nine years!)

Chibi-Cain: Yes I do say, actually. (Is it my fault my author stuck me on a shelf for a decade while she wrote about somebody else's convoluted life traumas?)

Chibi-Oscar: Well, anyway, it's high time you HAD a birthday!

Chibi-Cain: Yes, but--

Chibi-Oscar: Do you KNOW how much trouble I went through to get this cake put together? You're going to have a party and you're going to eat cake, and (rattling him by the collar) YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! You got me?

Chibi-Cain (spiral-eyes): Huh... wha... er...

Chibi-Oscar: Right, then. (brandishing fistful of candles which he shoves into the cake largely at random) Okay, where'd I put the blowtorch...

Chibi-Dr. J (jumping out of the top of the cake, wild-eyed): BLOWTORCH? Who said anything about a blowtorch?

Chibi-Cain (jumping on Oscar's back): GAAAAH!

Chibi-Oscar (corner of his mouth): Sorry, kid, the only female who makes it from one series to the next is way underage and your sister to boot, so he was as close as I could find to a bodacious babe...

Chibi-Dr. J (fussing at the frosting in his hair): I swear, you owe me laundry bills for this...

Chibi-Oscar: Fine, fine. (Like you don't mess up enough of your own clothes with the blood anyway...)

(meanwhile, Chibi-Cain has vanished off Chibi-Oscar's back into nowhere.)

Chibi-Dr. J: Wait, where'd he go? You said I could have him for the afternoon! (brandishing a knife) I'm not leaving without SOMEBODY'S eyes in tow, you know...

Chibi-Oscar (backing off): Hey, that wasn't in the contract!

Meanwhile...

Chibi-Cain (huddled in the window sniffling): Why can't he just let me go mope around in peace? All I wanted was to have a bad day all to myself...

Chibi-Riff (patting him on the head): There there, sir. I'm sure somebody will be along to suitably ruin your day any minute now.

Chibi-Cain (shimmery eyes): Oh, Riff...

(glomp)

Chibi-Riff: Sir, that's not a handkerchief, that's--

Chibi-Cain (snuffle sniffle blowing nose): ...huh?

Chibi-Riff (sweatdrop): Well, that *was* my tie. But it's a handkerchief now, I suppose...

Chibi-Oscar (running through with Chibi-Dr. J hot on his heels): I GAVE YOU THAT KNIFE FOR THE CAKE, YOU MANIAC!

Chibi-Dr. J: Oh, come on, there are SOOOO many more interesting things to do with sharp implements of pain! (mwahahaa!)

Chibi-Riff reaches over and slams a door behind them, then dusts off his hands.

Chibi-Riff: So, where were we, sir?

Chibi-Cain: Somewhere around here... (glomp sniffle)

Chibi-Riff (sweatdrop): Right.

Meanwhile:

Chibi-Merry: CAAAAAAKE! (hearts and flowers, diving in headfirst)

Chibi-Cain and Chibi-Riff: (multiple sweatdrops, shared thought bubble) Merry on a sugar high... visions that can give a sane man nightmares...

^__^;; wish I could actually draw this instead of lots of clunky-looking chibis... might try again later...

ROTF! Oscar is right! After nine years Cain needs a b-day party! ^___^

Hehe...I was so NOT expected the doctor to pop out of the cake. 0_0 Glad Oscar doesn't plan my parties. Great story!

*lol* This is very cute. [img]smile.gif[/img]

adorable! ^_______^-

^___^ I had a brainstorm last night... Oscar now has a polka-dotted party hat and Riff now has a striped one, and Dr. J's hair is long enough there's no worries. (^^;;; I also figured I'd better spare you as much of my handwriting as possible...)

So anyhow, here's page 1:

ed: ^^;; the minute I hit send this morning, my system locked up on me, so I didn't know it had messed up the message window size like that -- sorry! ^^;; Changed it to a link...

@Lady Elanor: thank you! ^___^ More evilness to come as soon as I get a chance to repencil and Photoshop in the text... ^_~
