"Oh, man. Come on, May. I hate fucking needles." Bryci complained, looking at the syringes and visibly shaking before she sighed, laughing. "Whatever. I'll be there tomorrow. You don't have to be so happy about jabbing me."
"Why, thank you fine sir." Franklin said, before he looked at the two. He gently pat Terra and Ryan with one of his massive, fuzzy paws. "Be still, children. The pain is a moment compared to what could come from not having it, yes? Good. Let us be still. This will not hurt."
That was when Ben spied the syringes.
"W-... What's that?" He asked. "Are those needles!?"

"Bryci, when you do this for a living, you start finding at least a little entertainment in these things." May replied to the teenager as she walked over to Ryan.
"And yes, Sweetie, you need to get this." She said as she injected the needle. "Stay still, it's gonna burn a little for a few minutes."

He sucked in a bout of air (coughing into his elbow again), and held it in, waiting for her to tell him what to do.

"Sweetie, you can breathe you know." May said, walking back to her desk to get Ben's shot.

From behind the ramparts of the great fortress the princess studied a map of the field of battle. Kingdoms has risen and fallen since the day the King had suffered that crushing defeat. A quest had been needed, and he had left his children to fend for themselves until the day that he could return from great Avalon to once more reclaim his throne and power.
So the princess who had never known war had found herself thrust into a game of thrones, as backstabbing dukes and barons fought to carve off the largest piece of the kingdom for themselves. Their greed had led the princess into exhile, and here on the far corner of what was once a mighty kingdom she studied the maps and reports. The struggles had forged her, hardened her. She was a warrior now, and she would need to be, for her kingdom, for her father, for her king.
Here in this last refuge, the fortress of Lost Yellow Mitten, she would survive the harsh winter. Supplies would be needed to see herself, and her knights, through to the spring harvest. Though it pained her, should they not find it many of her peasants might die in the cold, their fall reaping having brought in narry enough foods to last for themselves. Such taxing by the cruel Baron who thought he controlled this land, clearly. Depredations by brigands had hurt them still further, and so many of her peasants were injured and recovering. Reports had not yet come in, but she might learn that one of them had lost a tooth. Perhaps a windfall for them, if they could perform the arcane rite and summon the fae allies who would put a coin under your pillow for your tooth...
The big snowball had a sort of straightish stick on top of it(and a little off to the side as Patty had needed to jump to get it in place) with a yellow mitten perched on it like a flag. And now she hid behind the snowball, watching everyone with suspicous eyes.

"That's sick, May." She said, wincing at the sight. She hated needles. "Taking some disturbing pleasure from this, are you?"
"U-Uhm... c-... can I go?" Ben asked, staring at the needle and shaking. "I-I don't... I don't like needles."

He let out his breath, looking down. He didn't even see where she'd stuck him, or if she even did, so he felt a bit better.

"Just a tiny bit, I will admit, Bryci." The nurse said, moving over to Ben.
"And Ben, sweetie, I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?" May told the boy with a sympathetic smile. Hey, she wasn't completely twisted about this sort of things. Needles were the devil, man. "Just give me a second and..." She injected the needle and the shot then and there, and beyond a slight burning sensation, the shot barely hurt.
...Terra, meanwhile, was glad that she already had her flushots the day before. After all, didn't she already just finish crying?

"H-Hey!" Benjamin cried out as she injected him with the flu vaccine, causing him to whimper quietly and place his hand over the entry site. He pulled his sleeve over the mark once more. "Yo-... You mind I take one of those lollies up there?"

"Help your self to them, sweetie." May passed the bowl over to the boy before she sat down, flipping the channels of her TV in hopes of finding something to distract the children with. This was ignoring the fact Lenny, who was now asleep in the corner from boredom, would probably the job quite well.
So far, it wasn't working. If anything, it was becoming more apparent she'd be better off lugging up the VCR she had from her rooming.
Terra, however, decided scoot ever so closer to Ryan. "Hi, I'm Terra!" The girl told the boy with a goofy grin, after taking out the cotton ball from her mouth.

He looked up from Ben to Terra then, and gave her a small smile back.
"I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you!"

Terra glanced over at Ezer then. "...is that your pet monster?" She asked the boy.

He looked down at him, and then back up, clutching him tighter.
"Yeah. His name is Ezer."

"I don't live here, silly!" The girl replied. Her mother hadn't the heart to tell her the news yet...

"T-Thank you." Ben said, taking a few and quietly stuffing them into his mouth. His own monster took a handful himself, wrapper and all as he gorged himself, burping loudly. "S-Sorry."

"Ohhh," he replied with a nod, and looked over to giggle about Phryx. "You're so big! What's your name?"

"Phryx, lad." He rumbled, chewing loudly on candy as his mechanized jaw clamped down, heat emanating from his maw everytime he opened up his mouth to chew obscenely. "Pleasure ta' meet ya'."

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooow..." The little boy stared up in abject wonder to the crude beast with the weird name. ignoring Terra right now.

"I know, I know." Phryx rumbled, grabbing more candy to fill his cavernous maw. "Calm ye' tits."

May sighed as she turned off the TV. There wasn't anything on that she was willing to show small kids. She was going to lunch in a few hours anyway, so a thought popped in mind.
"...You kids want to go see a movie?" She asked the youngest three.
Terra shot up then. "Really?!"
"If I can get Ted to let me take Ben and Ryan, sweetie."

"I'm not a girl!" He giggled at Phryx, before turning to May. "What movie?"

"Hmmm, I think the theater by the zoo is showing a Disney movie..." May told the boy.

"He'd probably let you." Bryci said, holding her arms over her chest. "It's not that far and the weather isn't too bad."

"Yes, but I also got here only an hour or so ago." The worker replied to Bryci, casually shrugging as she got up. "He tends to hate when I leave for an early lunch, especially during cold season."
"Where ya goin', Mommy?" May's daughter asked as the woman walked over to the door. "Aren't we gonna go see a movie?"
"Mommy has to see her boss so she can, sweetie." May replied to Terra as she opened the door. "Stay here with Ryan and Ben, okay? And be good, I'll be right back."
"Yes, Mommy." Terra replied as her mother left towards Ted's office. A mischievous grin grew on Terra's face then, as she tiptoed over to the snoozing Grotesque in the corner of the room.
"Psssst!" She 'whispered'- really almost shouted in a somewhat raspy voice. "Pssssssst! Ryan! Help me wake up my Mommy's monster to play with!"

The blonde boy looked over to her, and then to the Grotesque in the corner.
"...Is that a good idea?"

The brunette rolled her eyes and nodded. "Uh-huh! He's nice and friendly and huggable and stuffs!"
