What? Why would having--

Okay, yeah, so it turned out my "Other Father" wasn't so bad. But still! Hoping that she shows up at the game is really bad.

Thinking that you might send me there if she does show up is worse.

I mean, you definitely should send me somewhere. I'm bored doing nothing all the time. I want an adventure!

Just not with her around.

How cruel.

[twitchywitchygirl]

I'm not the cruel one.

[beldambuttons]

And I'm not the one viciously rejecting family.

[twitchywitchygirl]

You're not my family! You never were, and you never will be!

[beldambuttons]

Let's talk about that sweetie. What would you say is family?

Family isn't just about blood after all...as lovely as that can be.

[twitchywitchygirl]

Family is about love, something you don't know anything about.

[beldambuttons]

Love is ALL I know.

We all need it. We all want it.

And I have so much of it to give.

[twitchywitchygirl]

What you give isn't real love.

[beldambuttons]

But is that really worse then no love at all?

The growing up and dieing alone?

Bitter and twisted and wrinkled and alone. Too weak to explore, to brittle to adventure. And no one to care for you. No one to remember you.

[twitchywitchygirl]

What do you mean? That's not going to happen to me.

[beldambuttons]

You're unique.

Misunderstood.

Special.

The world doesn't like people like you. It craves conforming soft spoken little girls. "Good girls". Not girls like you.

Or creatures like me.

[twitchywitchygirl]

That's not true.

My family likes me. And my neighbors. And even stupid Wybourne, whether I want that or not.

[truffulacide]

Does "she" look like an overgrown doll, too? Hate to say it but that's the only real reason why this guy's giving me the creeps.

[twitchywitchygirl]

She does, and she takes kids away from their families. She tricks them and then keeps their souls.

[truffulacide]

[...UM.]

...Well, that solves that. I can't see that winning her any Mother of the Year awards anytime soon.

[twitchywitchygirl]

Yeah, no kidding. So if she does end up at that Mayfield place, be careful. Because she may seem better at first... But she's not.

[truffulacide]

You just said that she only goes after kids, though. What would she want with someone like me?

[yes, what interest would a soul-stealing demon want with a guy who already has a loving mother who has never emotionally abused him at any point? what indeed.]

[twitchywitchygirl]

I don't know; you don't look that old to me.

[truffulacide]

[wow, rude.]

I'm twenty-two. Compared to how old you probably are, I might as well be living in a senior citizens center.

Actually, compared to Mayfield, a place like that sounds pretty swell right about now. At least they don't force you to go to work.

[twitchywitchygirl]

You don't look that old. I don't think you even act that old, really.

So tell me more about Mayfield.

[truffulacide]

Shows how much you know. There's a reason why kids are the butt of every joke.

It's awful, terrible, no good, sadistic, miserable, depressing, upsetting, scary, atrocious, and it stinks. [and as a helpful afterthought:] In a nutshell, of course. You'd have to be out of your mind to want to come here willingly.

[twitchywitchygirl]

Yeah, if you say so.

I don't want to go there. I've had enough places like that. But my mun was thinking about it. Maybe.

[truffulacide]

I know so. As your elder, I of all people am qualified to guarantee that.

Tell them to go kick rocks. Of all the awful ideas, that's the second worst one I've heard all week.

[gentleman_thief]

I have to say that the "Other Mother" is one of the worst creatures I've heard of.

Though it would be interesting to see what she would do in the presence of a creature who doesn't have a mother. My mundane has a few like that.

[pianokeys]

All will be swell if mother's around.

We could be a family, Coraline~.
