[She looks to her husband, hair rearing up, but she looks-- not angry. In fact, she looks rather pleased with herself. She lets out a little devilish snicker.] You think THIS is my final form? Pah. A foolish underestimation of me, Benjamin. I can get even stronger~

would it be so bad to spend the rest of your life eating your way out from inside a swiss roll i think not

You have no idea how manipulative those little brats can truly be. They’ll pounce on the slightest suggestion of tension between us, and we’ve come too far for any setbacks. [ Ben grumbles, placated at least by her apology… which surprisingly does seem genuine. He shakes his head, eager to go +

. . . Then, I apologize for assuming. [It sounds genuine...kinda. Knowing what the ring has done to her, it must be hard for this Gloriosa to be genuine these days.] And they WILL be afraid of us. All I need is a little bit more energy. [What the fuck does she mean by that.]

I don’t WANT you to be afraid of me. I’m not trying to scare you. [ The wall dissipates as his teeth clench around the stem of his pipe. Two tempers, one marriage. ] I know how much that cookbook means to you. I would help tear this house down to the foundation to find it, if it pleased you! +

[She turns as the fire wall erupts upward.] Let me be clear, I'm sorry for accusing you, but I'm NOT sorry for going mental about it. Also, let me make something else very clear. [She towers over him, and utters a phrase.] I am NOT afraid of you.

[ He might’ve let it go if it weren’t for the ‘I’m not sorry.’ Slamming the study door shut is a wordless order to the children to stay where they are, as he marches right down those stairs in pursuit of her. ] HOLD IT. [ Thrusting out a hand, a wall of flames goes up in her path, +

[She stares at it, hair going down, and vines retracting.] . . . I'm not sorry. The book shouldn't have been taken in the first place. [She grunts, before running down the stairs to make sure everything was in tact.]

[ There is the tiniest inkling of remorse beginning to fester within him. This is what he created. ]

You mean THAT ONE? [ Jerking his head in the direction of it, since he can’t use his arms. ] Dearest, it’s right there. Will you calm down? Whoever took it clearly recognized the danger they were in.

THE COOKBOOK, BEN. WHERE IS MY FAMILY'S COOKBOOK. [She'd hiss, dragging him to the hallway. You see it near a busted window, so... there is an out to this situation.]

[ Just barely resisting the instinct to singe those vines. He can’t exacerbate the situation, so he “lets” himself be caught and dragged. ] You have to tell me what you’re talking about!

🌱𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑.@pridefulplantera.bsky.social · 2y ago

[Door is busted open by vines, the plants in this study shudder, and he's grabbed by the planty tendrils.] BEN. WHERE IS IT!? [Beginning to drag.]

[ He didn’t do anything wrong, but the sound of her footsteps running up those stairs is enough to strike the fear of god into anyone. Hell, and there isn’t enough room for him under the desk. Stupid kids. ]

[ Discussing Evil Matters with the children, pausing mid-sentence as they listen to screaming and the kitchen being torn apart. … Very quietly shutting the door to his office. They’ll be in here… NOT hiding from their wife/mother. Definitely not hiding. ]

[ In hindsight, yes, she has a point. But it was less about tastiness and more about destroying beastly brats. And doing so ✨dramatically✨ ]

[Ben, use your brain. Kids are disgusting, why would you use them as baking ingredients?]

[ Why is murder wrong? He’s combined it with his second favorite thing: baking! Remember when he was going to use children as the ingredients to his children’s cake? ]

[ He’s not relying on anything! He merely gets the sense he’s being deceived in some way. Honestly, who and what could ever compare to her baking? Truly. … That being said—will she indulge him? ]

[ Her reaction elicits one from him, and it’s in the form of taking a step back. This is truly the moment it hits him. This is not who he married, this is the product of his actions… and isn’t this what he’d been hoping the achieve? … So why, despite his being impressed, does this not sit right +

No, no, the idea itself isn’t bad. You’re onto something. [ Ugh, how he hates to see her upset, especially when the idea she’s come up with is downright inspired. He simply can’t believe it’s coming from her. ] I mean, you can’t blame me for being a little surprised, dear. This is Gretchen.

🌱𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑.@pridefulplantera.bsky.social · 2y ago

Of COURSE I do, babe. We hook her up to a machine for the rest of her life and use her latent rage and pain as a source of power, I am FULLY aware of what I'm implying. [She frowns at him.] Not a good idea? I'll get back to the drawing board, I guess. [Disappointed.]

. . . I have the most perfect battery in existence. All we need is to keep it in an enraged state. [She wickedly grins, holding back the evil laugh she's been practicing...] Our daughter, Gretchen, is such a battery, Ben. Connect her to a core and she's infinite energy!

[ It is an odd question sans context, but he always game to indulge her. ] Plenty. The children have been masterminding a handful more at my request, too. Why do you ask?

🌱𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑.@pridefulplantera.bsky.social · 2y ago

[Her brain has hatched an idea. . . well, half an idea. Perhaps her other half can come up with the other part. . . She turns to @toastytyrant.bsky.social .] Do we have any most malicious machines that need a power source, my dear? [An odd, but fair question.]

[ You can’t see it, but he’s blushing. Might even be a little warmer than usual. ] I’m sorry, I wasn’t expecting to have been gone for so long. Unexpected business. [ Capturing her hand to plant a kiss on it. ] I’ve missed you. ~
