Respect from fear isn't worth having, Stella. And what happened in the past is irrelevant. What matters is the future. Not what your mom and I have done, but what you and your siblings are going to do. What we'll all do together. You earn respect by following conventions people make. Is that what we should do? Follow along like everyone else just so they'll like us? Or should we do our own thing and not care what they think?

@Yatagarasu

I don't wanem to like us! Our family is the greatest there ever was and they all should know it!

*Smiles* Why's that?

@Yatagarasu

Cuz they always did! Everyone was scared of mom, and you owned the whole world! They should spect us!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Why do you want them to be afraid of us? Besides, there were probably more of them afraid for your sister's health than there were who were laughing at her pain.

@Yatagarasu

They should show us our spect! I know the stories!

*Sighs and crouches down to you*
Embarrassment is a fool's emotion. There's no point in holding yourself in such high esteem that you put what other people think above your own safety, happiness, or health. True self-esteem comes not from the approval of others, but from your approval of yourself. Embarrassment comes from wanting the approval of others, and feeling that you fail to have it. It's not something to ever worry about, okay?

@Yatagarasu

Our family is fierce! They should be afraid of us, not laughing!!

I promise she didn't do it on purpose. At worst, she's very ill. At best, she's going through a change right now. Sort of like... like a butterfly. She'll come out more beautiful, in a sense. So don't worry too much, and don't feel bad about the trip. We can do it over later, okay? When she's feeling better.

@Yatagarasu

*Frowns*
But she 'barassed our family.

We're just gonna make sure Dawn is okay. But I'll stick with you, okay? I trust Sloth and your mother. We'll stay here unless Dawn wants to see us, okay?

@Yatagarasu

Why'd she fall over and ruin our trip?

Myriad Reality

*Looks at Storm and Stella*
It'll be okay. And we'll get you your magnifying glass another time, okay?

@Yatagarasu

What's going on?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Stella, I really need you to stop talking for a hot minute, kay?

<Snipped quote by Host>

*Starts paralyzing key motor groups as black electricity surrounds us*

@Dynamics

*Glares at Dawn*
What about my magnifying glass?

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Flashes a hint of a sad smile before turning my attention back to Dawn*
Okay, I’m going to paralyze and relax some of her muscles. I don’t think that can do any serious damage. You get Sloth.

@Dynamics

Mom, make her stop. People are looking at us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

That's... not good. Even if it's useful, this could do some serious permanent damage.
*Turns to Storm*
Is there a doctor nearby? The symptoms should be treatable by anyone with decent medical knowledge, but we'll have to see what happens as it does.

@Yatagarasu

What's happening to Dawn? Why does she look like that?
