rix_scaedu's second prompt. After Creation Story and When the Storm Came.
Names from Fourteen Minutes and Seventh Sanctum, human name from @Anke
"...and the rest was cake." Fusefauna leaned back in her chair, making an expression they had learned to interpret as a smile.
"C.A.K.E, she means." Chloroshining had never really gotten over being paternal over his daughter, which, at the moment...
"Which sounds exactly the same, spoken, unless you're being an asshole." Switchphase glared over his wife's head at his alien father-in-law. "Seriously, Chlor. Give her a break."
"Do not presume to tell me how to..."
"Father. #'$hi*sth." Fusefauna clicked out the short Thundesitioni admonition. "Daniel, please."
Modificationnaut listened to the three of them and silently vowed to never marry. "So C.A.K.E?" he prompted. "It's an interesting acronym."
"It is a very arrogant acronym," Fusefauna allowed, "but it was the seventies, and we were very arrogant at the time. This was of course before the explosion of altered beings, when there were only a handful of us on the planet. It stands for Combined Altered Kyrie Elite."
"Combined..." It didn't take Modificationnaut long to piece that together. "The altered gods, more or less."
"Lords." It was almost nice to know Chloroshining was an ass to everyone, not just his daughter. "The Amalgamated Lords of the Altered Genome... but that was too arrogant even for us."
"And now... it's just the three of you?"
"The two of us. Switchphase belongs to another group." He seemed very firm on that one. "Yes. The others retired, as much as one can do that, or died, or went off-planet."
"And we are left." Fusefauna click-churred a Thundesitioni laugh. "To be our C.A.K.E., just us two."
