Just trying to decide what kith family I should dump where next. Options are still open 🙂 California Selkies, New England Pooka Blue Bloods, Minnesota Boggans "Awful cold up there doncha know?"

Whoever ends up in Minnesota, make sure they have to fight the annual battle against the mosquito chimera. Five-feet long and like to leave nothing of you but a dessicated husk.

ha

see, I don't know the area that well but sure.

I did drive through Wisconsin in the summer. My gosh, it was beautiful.

I met a storyteller (like, stories, not RP) from MInnesota who used to craft horror tales about the mosquitoes.

Isn't it? Yeah, it's nice. 🙂

Not sure I would want to live there in Winter though. I'm too Southern. My brain shuts down after so many inches of white stuff

Heck, more than 2 inches I have to fight the ancestral urge to buy all the eggs and bread I see.

chuckle Yeah, gotta agree with you there, though North Dakota is supposedly worse.

Z needs to commission bertrand...

Yup.

Sure. What's she want? A crystal ball? An ornate glass spider?

A stained-glass box to keep Earl's still-beating heart in?

OOo tasteful

I figured Bertand has been doing adult level work for a time, taking jobs, earning cash and dross. Now nocker kids don't play in the same way, but he's tackling serious stuff regularly. Trying to provide security for Firnost.

yup

togailish time

Z wants to ask him to make a flower.

it can do a thing, but a glass flower

Yeah, I agree...he's been through life-threatening stuff, and produces work that adults respect. It fits.

He's now being pushed to help those who face medical trouble for a living 😉

glass flowers are some of his favorites

See, in a few weeks, it is the anniversary of the night carnival

oh so it is

So Zara wants to give a gift!

He'd be happy to do it

And Bertand isn't about to say "Also I had a crush on you but i know you have a boyfriend now"

Curse of young hormones and a pretty girl. Every guy is sure it's luuuv 😉

Sorry, lagging, interruptions.

Yeah, she's oblivious. Well, kind of oblivious.

Aw

Well, Bert's got good family so he knows that older family members have had crushes that didn't work out. And that you don't treat a gal like she's some prize at a fair. Hell, his mama would give him the hairy eyeball if she heard any of her boys do that

Meanwhile, Poor Spencer is kind of wistful as he's still a childling and wondering why he and Sylvi aren't racing back and forth over the bridge to see each other more . Oh young teen drama

Gah! Sylvi's going to have So Much Guilt when she realizes what's going on and tries to sort it all out.

Kerri will have to give her the speech about being honest about what she wants, and who she wants, is better than lies trying to make folks feel not hurt, at least in the long run for everyone.

Lunch!

hahaha

hihi shady

sigh Kerri figured she had another couple of years before having to give that speech. Now she's doing the math on her own youth and realizing, uh, no...this is pretty much right on schedule.

Hey, lunch lady.

Olgar will suggest sealing her into a tower...he can guard it for years and weed the wimps out

See, Hirim was right, Zara.

ha

OTOH, maybe Daddy was too.

Kerri might briefly entertain Olgar's notion, then sigh and go have that particular discussion with Sylvi...plus a bit of birds-and-bees 2.0.

"This is the Boychik neuralizer... you wear this, and any carnal thoughts within 5 feet of you directed at you will get a feed back loop that will lay them out with a static shock pop to the groin. I want you to carry it with you at all times"- Hirim

YEP.

ha:) Olgar owes Kerri a backrub for the hard part of the parent job this year
