Ray of sunshine right here

[redstainedking]

Think each of your movements with me carefully, or my stay with you won't last as long as it did before, Mundane. Changes of certain things can only do so much, more so after so long without.

Some of what you and the others plan holds little interest for me, and some are best not gone through with. Plans best left forgotten.

You know well how to keep me, but don't forget it is much easier for your hold to be lost.

You shouldn't worry so much, big brother, you know everything will be alright, in the end.

[redstainedking]

It isn't so much as worry. [Lacie, these muns are terrible with the shit they plan halp]

[gather_ye_rosebuds]

[You forget, her mun has been planning with them.]

Then what is it? So, they'll give you something more to do than nap all day. Maybe that's a good thing.

[redstainedking]

I don't nap all day.

[Of course that's all he protests about, of course.]

[gather_ye_rosebuds]

I've seen you nap for a big part of it.

[Now you're just quibbling.]

Anyway, I still say it might be good for you.

[whifflingthrough]

You know they'll do as they please.

But it'll be better for the rest of us, if you're here.

[redstainedking]

They're going to pull in as many as they can.

[whifflingthrough2]

So they will. But there's only one you.

[redstainedking]

[He could certainly protest to that- there are more of him around, but that would just be argumentative at this point, wouldn't it?]

It will end up in a large mess that has to be cleaned up. [... At least nothing like the last disaster elsewhere.]

[whifflingthrough]

It's nothing you can't handle.

[She tries to hold her smile, but Glen will be able to feel her sadness, through the bond they share. She's well aware that this time, she'll be part of that mess.]

At least your boything will be with you. And the family behind you.

[potentpoisons]

How was it that your Mundane lost their grip on you?

[redstainedking]

It isn't all that difficult to cause a loss of 'voice' once lines have been crossed.

[He was gone for nearly a year.]

[potentpoisons]

What lines were crossed in your case - if you don't mind me inquiring?

[redstainedking]

I mind.

[potentpoisons]

Understood. Forgive me.

[sleepygunsman]

.....How bad can plans be..?

[redstainedking]

[Really, that was a stupid question.

But at least it means there's an expression provoked, if no words.]

[sleepygunsman]

That bad...?

[What kind of Mundanes do you have man. ]

[redstainedking]

[The kind that plan to spread a virus that could wipe out humanity while the entire town is snowed in due to a blizzard making all sources of food hard to get to.

A brow arches just enough to be noticable. That's... good enough answer to him.]

[sleepygunsman]

I am....sorry to hear that...

[He sighed softly, some mundanes can be so cruel.]

Will....you be okay at least....?

[bittybratty]

[Soon enough, Lacie will finally be too big to climb on her brother and sit in his lap, as she has in past times of trouble. However, she can and does march right up to him and take his hand.]

We know it's happening, at least. So, I guess we better have all the fun we can this month, so we'll be stronger when it comes.

[This one isn't destined to be killed, so long as she stays in this other worlds. Even so, Lacie is Lacie, and her philosophies are much the same as those of the elder.]

[redstainedking]

[He'ell take that hand, gladly.]

This will be your first 'Christmas' [He's still not used to that holiday name, nope.] in a place not filled by only faces we've grown familiar with.

[bittybratty]

It's your first 'Christmas', too. Can we get one of those trees? The sitting room is big enough and there's lots of them around.

[redstainedking]

We could likely take one from the surrounding woodland and decorate it ourselves.

[That should be easy enough, considering certain things.]

[bittybratty]

You can send the Chains to find the best one.

[Because that is totally what Black-Winged Chains are for, and they totally aren't going to bring back a giant evergreen monster that will barely fit through the door and will take all year to trim.]

And we'll all decorate it. We can make things to put on it. You gotta help, too. No standing there brooding.
