[OOC] Stranger Beetles

[Metronome]

I'm confused :/ are we doing the escape now? Do we maybe wanna make an outline of events so we have something to go off of? I just wanna be on the same page is all

[Beetlejuice96]

We can do the escape since Beej wasn't actually unsummoned yet. But the two can plot their escape if you want then they hash it out and somehow come across the Maitlands.

[Metronome]

So like what if we do this:

Lyds wakes up the next day. Her and BJ plan their escape. Maybe Ash hears them via security camera or something and secretly helps them for shits and giggles.

Lyds and BJ escape that night while BJ is unsummoned. Lyds runs across a road and is almost hit by the Maitlands car as they're driving home from a dr appointment

Maitlands convince Lyds to come home with them because they are sweet labradoodles

Bj has his reservations about them, but also knows he can't let lyds run around in the woods forever

The Maitlands try to contact child services, but BJ sabotages their phones so they just keep Lyds for the night. They figure out somethings fishy pretty quickly

Govyment comes looking for Lyds, but the Maitlands keep her hidden

Monster portal gets opened and monsters and shit start invading the town. BJ and Lyds try to stop them

Lyds gets taken by govyment

BJ and labradoodles go to save her

Ash reveals themselves and BJ is pissed. Big fight ensues

Lyds, Bj, and labradoodles figure out how to close the portal. Maybe BJ convinces Ash to help

Idk what comes after this part

[Beetlejuice96]

Sounds good to me. I can just hear Beej talking to Lyds about how white the Maitlands are and she's just sitting there because she can't respond to him around them.

Omg. This is so this universe's Lydia.

[Metronome]

Well there's her next Christmas present

[Beetlejuice96]

Hahaha! Definitely from Beej cause they share that humor. The Maitlands are just like, "Sweetie, we talked about this."

[Metronome]

Time for more family therapy

[Metronome]

"Our daughter's demon dad/brother is a bad influence on her"

[Beetlejuice96]

"He is not! He's been my only true friend in this shitty life I've had."

"Now, Lydia, we've asked you to refrain from-"

"Oh shut up, you pompous asshole, you're just agreeing to give us therapy just to rip them off."

[Beetlejuice96]

Good thing she dove away before getting hit or Beej would have lost it.

[Metronome]

The Maitlands would be dead, rp over

[Beetlejuice96]

No kidding. I feel sorry for the poor kid, having to suppress all her anger, hate, sorrow and maybe even fear for years and it's only now that she's finally able to let it all out without the fear of being taken into solitary confinement or punished.

[Metronome]

The Maitlands totally think some Law and Order SVU shit happened here

[Beetlejuice96]

Well to an extent they're not wrong. Abuse, neglect, cruel and unusual punishment, sending her to places where a child shouldn't be and occasionally seeing a demon slaughter people. Yeah.

[Metronome]

Sounds like trauma soup to me :D

[Beetlejuice96]

All the trauma! It's going to take a lot of encouragement to get her to agree to see a therapist. Oh boy are they in for some messed up shit.

[Metronome]

Wait till they find out about BJ and his issues to boot lol

[Beetlejuice96]

The therapist might just run out screaming because of the sudden demon appearing and need their own therapist. Lol. But in all seriousness, those two have major issues.

[Metronome]

Lyda, after a bad dream, coming into the Maitland's bedroom: "I had a bad dream, can I stay in here with you guys? D: "

Beetlejuice, after seeing that shit work: "I had a bad dream. Can I stay with you guys? >;D "

[Beetlejuice96]

Bwahahaha! XD He'd so do that. And Lyds unintentionally fucked up by letting slip on what languages she picked up.
