happy mother's day, beetles

[thefavoritemom]

No, I do not see why dragging me out of my home at this time of the night is supposed to be a Mother's Day present.

The nerve of some people.

[azulescarabajo]

Uh, Happy Mother's Day, mom.

[He even got a card for her and everything. And on such short notice.]

[thefavoritemom]

Jaime?

[Ahhh a card! :D Okay, maybe this was worth it. gonna embarrassingly put this up on the fridge later, jaime, deal with it.]

Oh, hijo, you shouldn't have.

[azulescarabajo]

Of course I should have. It's Mother's Day and you're my mom.

[There's that stupid, goofy grin. And he gives her a big ol' hug, too.]

I wouldn't be able to do. . .everything without you around. Your support and love, uh, it means a lot to me.

[thefavoritemom]

[Whatta dork. Her dork, though. Hugs are officially returned.]

And I always will be around. I am your mom, after all.

...is your mun treating you well? [Mom Glare (c) in their direction.] I have heard stories, Jaime, and if they aren't taking proper care of you I have a word or two I'd like to give them.

[azulescarabajo]

[Yay, mom hugs are best hugs.]

Oh. Uh. Yeah, I'm doing fine. He's taking care of me, don't worry. I'm not really up to much of anything right now anyways, so don't worry! Everything's fine, I promise!

[Is this the Jaime making excuses voice????]

Are you sure?

You know you can tell me anything. And you know I can convince him to make it better. I have my ways.

[azulescarabajo]

[No! No, of course not. Really.]

I'm sure! Really sure! We're not even in any dangerous situations or anything.

[fanboy_power]

I think it might be a present because you'll get to see and probably get gifts from all the different versions of your kids that are around here, ma'am.

Happy Mother's Day, Mrs. Reyes!

[Have a hug! A hug that is partially metal, because Paco seems to have acquired a cyber-arm from somewhere and, um, yeah, he kind of really needs a hug due to Reasons. Yes.]

[thefavoritemom]

Thank you! I didn't expect to see you too, Paco--

[Wait, what. Why is that arm metal?]

...Am I getting an explanation for that? [She frowns and hugs a little tighter. These muns. 8(]

[thefavoritemom]

[Polite. She likes this kid.]

So what the, er, "mundane" said was true, then? There's all sorts of different versions of my family here?

[She's not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.]

[fanboy_power]

[He nods quickly.]

Yes, ma'am. There's all sorts of alternate universes and versions of your family to go with them.

[flunkingspanish]

I know, right? My mun's only seen one other person playing me. There are Jaimes wandering around out there without a Paco to back them up. Tragic, just tragic.

[Awkwardly rubs the back of his neck.]

Short version is that HAL 9000 is a murder-happy word-I-will-not-use-in-your-presence and that I'm faster than he thought I was. Longer version involves a variety pack of psycho space-bugs, reality-hopping pirates, and awesome people from alternate universes. [Gives her a bit of a grin.] Also, I now have 24-7 access to a grappling hook and lasers and I'm using them responsibly.

[shes_intense]

Mrs Reyes!?

[PLEASE BRACE YOURSELF FOR ALL THE BRENDA HUGS!]
