[Steven watches, confused and enticed. He doesn't know why those little balls are exploding paint everywhere, but... he really wants to play with them? That looks way more fun than painting with a brush.]

Can I see?

[He comes in close, looking practically entranced by the prospect of these things.]

[usurpers]

[ they're yours now, little grasshopper. steven receives a handful of pellets right on demand, and eren even steps aside for him to give it a shot.

and, well. there're instructions? he hands that over as well. ]

You might get it better than I do.

[starseedling]

[He's just got a bunch of different colours here, and he's not sure which to pick. They should probably pick a uniform colour if they are going to do this, but...

He takes a pink one and presses it against the wall. It goes pop, mostly across the wall, but also onto Steven's face and wings.

The freezes, wide-eyed, and that starts laughing.]

Hahaha... woohoo!

[He throws up his hands.]

[usurpers]

[ and that's how a kid should be living, eren sees— even with a pink splattering onto his neck, he doesn't seem phased. the younger is having fun, and . . . eren will not take that away from him.

he's a serious dude, though! so steven probably won't realize it until it's too late— eren pressing a ball of blue onto the fae's back, right in the middle, with a finger. it bursts, and now it's not on the wall. he targeted you, boyo, and now you're a lovely blue around the wings. what're you going to do about it? ]

[starseedling]

[Steven's white shirt is now bicolored, and Steven is completely caught off guard. He bounces into the air, his wings fluttering and splattering paint all over, until he realizes what happened. Then he spins around to look at Eren with a 'you rascal' kind of expression.]

Hey! You blued me!

[He takes a yellow one from his hand, and slaps it against Eren's chest. It detonates as well. They are officially doing a very bad job at painting this wall.]

[usurpers]

[ painting walls, apparently . . . is so last season. painting people is where it’s at. this is also a ridiculously horrid first impression for any person needing a baby sitter to walk into— it wasn’t as if eren wasn’t already dirty, so the burst of yellow stays and gives him a wonderful sun colored face and a tongue that accidentally goes in for the kill to taste it all.

this means war, he supposes. rather than pressing them in onto a body, eren throws a lime colored pellet to steven’s belly, and brusquely makes a run for it. ]

[starseedling]

[The thought technically occurs to Steven that if they carry on like this they are probably going to make a real mess of the foyer, but in the moment he finds himself just not really caring about that. Yellow paint has splatted all over his front, and Eren is running away. Justice must be done.]

Reveeenge!

[So he does the only sensible thing and bolts after him, hurling half a fist of pellets at Eren's back. Not all of them hit. Some are just going to splat fully onto the floor, too, exploding aimlessly.

Eren is the best babysitter ever, clearly. Less than five minutes and they're already destroying the house.]

[usurpers]

[ eren is that kind of baby sitter. eren leaves behind his own trail of direct hits and misses that leave their mark all around the trail used. the walls, the floors— it’s all painted, to the point that the dragon begins leaving behind footprints from blotches he’s stepped on.

the house is a rainbow and it’s just going to stay that way in some places! after circling around the kitchen and living space a couple of times, using furniture as shields and forts (the poor furniture), eren decides it may be time to bring an end to the mess. rather than running, he changes directions, and goes straight for steven.

except— his claws slip on a paint puddle of bright neon swirls, sending him backwards and— forward, into whatever is in his way. good bye, steven. ]

[starseedling]

[Normally Steven would have already balked at the destruction they are sewing, but something in his faerie DNA makes him go: hell yeah, this game is awesome. Eren's energy is hard to resist, and though he does try to avoid hitting anything important, the consequences of his actions are shoved out of mind.

Sometimes you just wanna throw paint around without worrying about it, y'know? It's art.

Then Eren comes sliding at him. Steven tries to fly upwards, but his wings are heavy with paint, and so he miscalculates his lift. So, instead, he basically just jumps on top of Eren while he skids by, legs swept out from beneath him by falling dragon.

And then they probably hit the wall and he can make a big wing-shaped paint angel.]>/small>

[usurpers]

[ make it a double winged angel. even with his arms gripping around steven’s legs to steady him over his head, eren takes the bulk of the impact straight into the wall, making the wood crack with a thick thunk. not enough to render him useless, but he does, carefully, lower his back while the fae and making sure he gets to the floor safely. his face stings, and that’s. that’s one more wall!! ruined.

in fact, it’s enough of a second for them to finally get a better scope of all the damage, and. lmao. ]

You okay?

[ first and foremost. ]

[starseedling]

[Steven slumps off of the wall and onto Eren, obviously pretty dazed. You can practically hear the stars spinning around his head when he speaks.]

Ow... I-I mean... I'm okay.

[His wings wiggle a bit, like he's trying to check to see if they are broken. This is a lot.]

Maybe we got carried away...

[usurpers]

[ sitting up and making sure steven is well is a good chance to get a much better look at their masterpiece, and the rest of the house. oh, boy. eren almost wants to laugh, wow. ]

We need to clean up before Lex comes back.

[ wifey might never leave steven with him ever again and they can’t have that. ]

[starseedling]

[Steven drops onto his butt, which turns out to be in a puddle of paint. That's sort of everywhere right now, though.]

Okay, but... umm...

How do we get the paint off of stuff? Doesn't paint... kind of stick to things?

[Ah, they have messed up good, haven't they.]

[usurpers]

[








they have messed up very good. ]

We’ll have to paint over it. [ with one . . . color. oh this is great. ]

[starseedling]

I... I think we need help.

[he's getting really nervous now.]

We need to find a witch! A... A paint witch!

[usurpers]

Steven, [ he sees him—! and it’s time, to step in as the older, responsible figure, and become the picture of resolve-! confidence personified! adapt! conquer! eren’s hand goes on the fae’s shoulder, claws only nicking at the fabric of whatever he wears. ] we don’t need magic for everything. All we need is focus, can you do that?

[ save house gem with him, steven. ]

[starseedling]

[Steven doesn't know about that, but he is also susceptible to authoritative confidence. His confusion and worry shifts into a somewhat forced smile.]

U-Uh... yeah, I think so!

What... should we do?

[usurpers]

[ good child ]

How good are your illusions?
