On his mun's ideas (Canon is October Daye)

[notrequiredtomakesense]

You want to send me to some "post-apocalyptic" city with masters that make some of the Firstborns look reasonable?

...Are you insane? I thought October had bad ideas, but this is crazy even by her standards. I don't care that you're waiting for that latest book and that short story about me. You're still going to do it.

[Glaring. So much glaring Tybalt.]

Thanks for the votes of confidence.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

[All the charm!]

Well, you have to admit having your Fetch pay half the rent and calling the night haunts twice don't exactly reflect well on your sanity.

[dammitmother]

May at least pays the rent on time.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

How, exactly? What work can a Fetch find?

[dammitmother]

You could ask her yourself you know. Sort of rude, to talk about her business.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

But until very recently, her business was your business.

[Also? Where the hell is he going to find May in this place?]

[dammitmother]

A lot of things have changed, recently.

[Well that's not her problem... besides, Toby's not worried: May's impervious to harm after all.]

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Very true.

[As long as she remembers that October herself is not]

Anyway, what has your mun decided to do with you?

[dammitmother]

[Yes well working on that, thanks.]

She hasn't, yet. She wants to bring me to this horrible Land of No Coffee too but there are... complications.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Other than the fact that an October Daye without coffee is worse than your mother on a bad day, you mean?

[dammitmother]

I may be enchantingly violent and cranky without my coffee, but at least I'm sane.

Relatively.

But yeah. Seems getting along too well with some of the other people in this headspace can be detrimental to your 'getting the hell out of here' chances.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

That is the nicest way to describe you without caffeine, little fish. And that has nothing to do with it. This girl was just too stubborn to let me go peacefully.

[dammitmother]

Yes, it is.

Oh, same with this one, but while I'm here, there's a cop here too who isn't bad as mortal police go.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

So she's essentially you, just human?

[dammitmother]

Oh no. For one thing, I'm mostly glad I didn't join the police. Better equipment and resources would be nice, but there are those stupid rules like having to wait a full 48 hours to file a missing persons report and so forth.

Plus this one can throw rocks around. Which is interesting.

October, most humans can throw rocks around. It's called "stoning".

keywordsss

[dammitmother]

Without touching them, smart ass.

oh these two XD

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Oh, one of those.

[Unimpressed kitty is unimpressed]

There's one in here, too. She's...

[Hm.]

[dammitmother]

Tiny?

[notrequiredtomakesense]

I was going to say 'feisty', but yes, she's also short.

[dammitmother]

Feisty, huh?

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Not half as much as you, dear October.

[dammitmother]

Did you just call me 'feisty'? That's a word you use on a- a little kid or a kitten or something.

No, in fact, I'd like to see you call Raj that. It would be amusing.

[notrequiredtomakesense]

I have. It was. And if I recall, you were rather recently a little kid yourself.

[dammitmother]

And I missed it?

That was the Luidaeg's doing, and it was only physically. Besides, I got the kids back because of it.
