Start farting emphatically. She'll leave.

Okay. She finally left!

Farting not required

Does the debriefing with roommates happen now?

Well, this one I can't blame on them. It's just BLAM... and they were as stuck as i was.

nod Yeah, understood.

So I saw the post-waffle scene...can we do a post-waffle meanwhile scene for the girls?

Sure!

Okay...not just yet, though....working on a PBEM that's going to determine Coradel's mood in the morning.

Ok.

What did you think of the after waffle scene?

VERY good. That's exactly the kind of character dev./discussion stuff I (and Coradel) was hoping would happen. Is Magnus leaving-leaving, or just leaving that conversation?

Mostly leaving that conversation, though he will check on Claire to see if she wants to stay or not off panel. i can go either way if it suits a storyline

Cool. Should be up to speed in about 1/2 hour -- Shades is at work, so PBEM is a bit delayed.

Oh, the last bit, with the card...was that Claire's number or Sparrow's?

Claire's sorry

Cool. 🙂

Hope I'm getting that bit right with Sylvi, ie., giving beloved childhood item to the Balefire/Dreaming.

Ooo stricter than I was going to be. I was just using seeds and sprigs assocated with Spring 🙂

Came straight out of Sylvi-head. She feels like she has to make it count.

Nod THen that's how it is Nod

Hell, with all the prophecies and visions and wish-granting she's been getting this summer...she figures she owes the Dreaming a big gesture.

Fair enough 🙂

Well, on other fronts...how you doin'?

I'm fine. Very worried about other family members. Stuff that has been building for years and I can't share I'm afraid. I am trying to remind myself that I have very little control in this universe and bad things happen to good people.

Ugh. I'm sorry. (Which is a woefully inadequate thing to say, but there it is.) Not sure if it makes it easier or worse that you were able to see it coming over years.

Well, the stress hasn't been fun, but I think all at once would have been worse in the end.

Mm. Wish I could know more because I have this urge to "try to help" -- but not my business, and probably nothing I could genuinely help with, anyway. Outsiders trying to help in family stuff usually don't, in my experience.

You guys do help. take my mind off things 🙂

Oh, well, yeah! We're pros at taking a break from reality!

And I need it

We all do. 'S how we become pros.

HA!

I mean, some of us may have taken an extended hiatus, but dammit, we're back in the game, man!

Truly.

I just need to get better at the multitasking balance.

I need to get a cup of courage from the wizard

Courage? Indeed? Or is that for the not-taking-reality-break aspect of life?

Oh more RL. I can be brave online 😉 watch me tell folks I'm right and they're loozers if they don't agree 😉

chuckle I hear you. RL...well, there's a reason we avoid it sometimes.

In gaming I find myself searching for a brain ("What is Shady trying to get me to catch on to this time? think think think" ) 🙂

chuckle Well, you're already well-endowed with heart, so no need to Tin Man on us.

Thank you. You seem to have no need of a wizard yourself 🙂

Ha. Desperately in need of a brain that knows what to do around people, and a fair amount of courage as well.

And if that wizard is handing out fool-proof weight-loss programs, he'll have a friend for life.

Ha!

you're fine

There. See.

chuckle You're kind, Catnik.
