My family from another world

My main focus these days is working on Xerion, the organisation where all the newcommers to my stories work, but every now and then I take a break from that and just sit down and scribble things down about the main cast of my stories. More specifically, I tend to focus a lot on Kj and Thomas, and their amazing relationship. It's gotten to be a very central part of my stories, I've discovered.

Today, while I was doing some tidying in the livingroom, I tried to find a good way to explain their relationship, and the general feel that's between them and the rest of the main cast, and I came up with this room. And I want to share this room with you all.


In the middle of this decent sized room, there's a rather large couch, standing right on the middle of the floor. It's similar to the couch I have in my livingroom, with just one back and one part of the seats sticking out, only that it's a lot larger so there's room for more people. On the part that sticks out, there's Kj, lying on her stomach, surrounded by various doodles and pencils and pens. She's got a pencil in her hand, a pen in her mouth, and another behind her ear, while her left hand is reaching down to grab the cup of coffee standing on the floor. And the cup is on the floor because the coffee table has been moved out of the way and is now standing on the other side of the couch, to make room for the various computer parts that are now all over the rug. Thomas is sitting on the floor with his back against the couch, with a large fancy-looking cabinet in front of him, fully concentrated on building one of his super-computers and seemingly oblivious to the fact that Kj is about to steal his coffee. That or he just doesn't care, cause they two of them always steal eachothers coffee. They're both doing their own thing, yet they're together, just enjoying eachothers company.

Then, to add the other people that has the main focus of the stories...

Kj seems to have frozen mid-reach, as her eyes are glued to the TV that's in front of them. On top of the coffee table to the side, Rico sits with a gaming controller in his hands and looks like he's really into whatever it is that he's playing. Probably Mario Kart, cause he loves that game. He's got a lollipop in his mouth, but has probably already forgotten about it due to the game being really exciting. A little more to the side, there's one of them punching bags hanging down from the ceiling, and GT is doing some light boxing, wearing only his pants and a tank top. At the back of the room, in the corner to the right, there's a large comfy-looking chair with a small table stacked with books next to it. Skye is sitting in the chair, feet crossed, with a book in his hands, fully concentrated on its content. He's probably studying something, as usual. Move a little to the left and there's a large window, directly behind the couch, with a large windowsill that holds a giant flower pot - of the kind that usually hangs outside - that is filled with various plants. Liz is standing there, tending to the plants, with a smile on her face, obviously feeling very content with everything. In the couch, opposite of where Kj is lying, is where Aria sits with another gaming controller in her hands, obviously playing with Rico. And it looks like she's close to losing, cause she don't even notice that she almost pushed the black cat that was standing on the armrest down. The white cat slumbering on the couch besides Aria seems to be too deep in sleep to even notice the ruckus. And underneath the table, with a smile on her face that makes it look like she's about to burst out giggling with joy, is Citty lying on her stomach with her eyes on the TV.

Despite the obvious ruckus, the room is kind of peaceful, cause they all share a strong bond that makes them comfortable in eachothers company, no matter what they're all doing.

And then we add the remaining main cast of the stories.

On the back of the couch, Monkey is sitting, his chin resting on his left hand with a candy bar in the other hand, and he's laughing, clearly finding it hilarious that both Rico and Aria seems to be losing to the computer. Beside the punching bag, holding it steady for GT, is Gina. She's probably making fun of him, in a friendly way, cause they're both smiling. Her dog, the border collie, is lying beside her feet, fast asleep. In the back, in the corner opposite of where Skye is sitting, there's two chairs with a small table between them, where Lady Angelica and Captain is sitting, probably discussing something serious. Captain is ignoring the ruckus and focusing on the conversation, while Angelica seems like she's about to get a migraine and is annoyed by the fact that she has to be in the same room as these noisy idiots. There's a door on the middle of the left wall, leading somewhere - probably into a hallway connected to the rest of the building, and a kitchen - and Agi is walking into the room with a tray with various beverages on it. He's flinching as he's trying to avoid Angel's hand as she's waving it to the side while making some snarky remark about how bad Rico and Aria are at the game. She's standing beside the couch, next to where Kj is lying, paying attention to the TV.

The room is somewhere in Thomas' house, I'm pretty sure of it. The couch is dark blue, which would be typical of his taste. Besides, whenever they all decided to hang back and relax together, they always do so at his place.


This room just seems so perfect, for some reason. It's as if the room itself is the perfect painting of the main cast, and my family from another world. I scribbled down a quick doodle of the room, seen from above, and now that I look at it I can't help but smile. It really is perfect, in every way.
