Woo boy. Housemate with the dying mother update. Her mother maybe in her last 48 hours. We're not sure so everything is on a grim hold.

And it is... to sound selfish, taking a toll on the household here. Constant trips back and forth , risking jobs, care taker burn out of my friend and more. Cancer absolutely sucks.

Housemate with the dying mother does not drive.

So my other helps her out.

Lots of fun stuff. 😞

Not selfish - it sucks and it's stressful and it's hard, but also - yeah, housemate is going through worse, so you can't say anything in that direction

DEFINITELY not nod

It's grim stuff. How are you?

being lazy

first day in weeks I'm not at work or an event

You deserve a drink with a tiny little umbrella in it. It doesn't matter what drink, just with the umbrella.

Hm. umbrella coffee.

That would be a hit in some areas! Maybe a Coffee meant to go with chocolate, and you have little parasols made of dark chocolate and you let it melt into the heated stuff.

Clem got guilt tripped. I'm starting to think Lumenesa has a decent Manipulation score 🙂

Heh

Not sure if Lumenesa is the best fae name i could have given her, but as Lumen is a measurement of Brightness at least it fits the theme.

it do!

"Nessa" is a good nickname, too

Ooo! I like that. She better like you before you get the right though 🙂

Well, Dad sure gets to use it

they're a motley group for sure, and we haven't even met the baby

The baby is too busy running around full tilt centaur speed I suspect

I think Lumenesa falls into the category of "Better mom that she gives herself credit for."

totally

but pooka-ese can be tricky

"Where's the gawdamned schematics?" / "It's mother hood, it doesn't come with schematics, just love and..." / "Right right, how many quarts of love am I supposed to doll out to the little snapper? " / "It doesn't work that way." /"Oh, Metric? Sure, how many litters?"

Oh dear. I'm afraid the player is missing the clues here. Which happens.

Clementines are TINY oranges

AH. Okay I don't feel bad about that ,because Nessa isn't a produce type of lady 🙂

...I don't think this is a regionalism, but it could be

It's not, Clementines are sold in a lot of states.

but how dare she be big and blue instead of small and orange?

Highly inconsiderate.

the "baby" has to be, like, what - 6? 8?

I think so. And I'm not sure we've mentioned a gender

Is it important? 😛

Feels like a trap to answer that ! 🙂

Okay, Nocker moms are kind of fun to write "I mean, you know I love you right? Or are you a moron?" 😉

Hee

I adore the pet name

it's very nocker and very sweet

Glad you like it because at this point I think I'm stuck on it

And there are days when you get told there are fries, but it's not how you envisioned them and it's that TINY letdown that you dare not ungratefully voice

"Fries" is too big a category!

That's true!

I do think she rather effectively set a minimum bar for civilization though. Two chain restaurants and traffic lights indicate a certain level of population density.

I agree! It might be less urban than her mom wanted in fact. Her mom probably thinks there needs to be "At least one hard scrabble foreign family forced to open a restaurant in the hopes white people will like it!"

And I think she likes to roost up high. Fire escapes, roofs, trees.
