ha

The second blade sounds great for Deryn.

OOC AFK again for a bit but .... is Coradel in the room? Awake? BRB.

She’s probably starting to stir as August comes back into the room. Ping me when you’re back at the keyboard.

I’m on the phone, so slow.

Need to get some paperwork done, but lurking.

👋 Hi! not really here 😉

Well, I mean, I am here, and a captive audience for the next... glances at clock 6 hours. But, accounting attacks!

Ha. Okay. See I should have Gerd whirl around and hug Connor just because, you know, another childling thankk the dreaming. These wilders are crazy

^_^

Gerd may enjoy showing him things "See, this is where you can hide , but don't let your feet stick out under the curtain...."

Connor shows her things he has discovered too! "Here is where they keep the dog biscuits, and they don't keep track of 'em like the cookies. The peanut-butter and cheese ones are real good, just a little dry, but you can dip 'em in milk!"

Oh dear.

I don't know if Dag can handle Connor...

I imagine others will handle Connor. Bit much to have a wilder as Dagmar do it 🙂

I mean, interactions

He seems much more dog in human form than a boy who can become a dog

and dogs... aren't people?

Oh, trust me. She's not the only one who noticed. Jaymes and Vali both have reasons to be troubled by that.

Ok, out and about AND a phone call from the DB.

Yeah. She might have no empathy, but...

hunh, oddly, THAT might be where I spend some of her first xp

She's probably due some.

Strangely, if Dagmar treated him like a dog rather than a person, he'd probably be comfortable with that. It's what he got used to, after all!

They might have some common ground for conversation re: group homes

true

But I think it is something about the dehumanization that bugs her

She's been treated like a dog, but she didn't turn into one.

I am convinced that dehumanization is the root of all evils, IRL.

agreed

Oh sure , your kind would say that.

KIDDING, don't shoot 😉

*big wet smooch*

I happen to agree though. At the risk of going political, it does seem we've gotten too darn tribal as a country

yes

Always blaming 'the other'

Well, MAKING 'the other' comes first. Then the blame.

Cursing works that way too, if you think about it.

"God damn you" while we are clearly favored and blessed, therefore you're not one of us.

"Son of a bitch/Bitch" is not human.

So on.

Point

gonna go run errands

rp tonight?

As far as I know!

I plan to be here.

We finish up here, then hit the grocery store on the way home. Maybe lunch.

I am going to Jfab and stopping in on campus
