006 ❀ We need a little pretty 'cause this country’s insane

[floreatnoctem]

[Chidori, for once, looks on the more pleasant side of stoic, fingers idly taking the measure of some fabric as she speaks. It would be a lot more pleasant, of course, if one of her axes and a whetstone weren't settled on the side opposite the fabric.

But oh well.]

Jade, if you would like to start your lessons today, I will be free this afternoon. Should anyone else like a sewing lesson, feel free to stop in- we'll be in the workshop.

Dave, perhaps you can be my model again for this.

[She hesitates before the next part, but only for a moment- negligible to most people.]

...Strega... Dinner, perhaps?

[miseris_socios]

Sure. Do you want help with making it?

[We're not talking about the dream right now shh.]

[quarkylass]

Yes, please! Where are you?

[floreatnoctem]

If you'd like. We might be able to get a bit more out of the kitchen this time.

[Nope, not talking about it.

Yet.]

The workshop is on the fifteenth floor.

[miseris_socios]

Why?

[YOU WILL BE A PART OF THIS FAMILY JIN EVEN IF HE HAS TO DRAG YOU INTO IT.]

[miseris_socios]

Yeah. There's eggs and catfish and hamburgers and spaghetti, so we can whip something up that's better than last time.

[MAKE HIM]

Not feeling up to it.

[floreatnoctem]

And why is that?

[floreatnoctem]

You are welcome to join us if you wish, David.

[...so witty.]

[floreatnoctem]

What do you think we should make, then?

[morituramfides]

Sick. Busy.

[floreatnoctem]

[Do you feel that? The familiar feeling of Medea all in your business?]

Liar, liar.

[MEDEA GET OUT KDJLFGF]

Just leave me alone, alright?

voice

[floreatnoctem]

[In a dangerously monotonous tone-]

You know I can't do that, Jin.

[Then she's back to normal, and she sighs.]

I've seen neither hide nor hair of you in too long. [Almost sarcastically-] I worry.

[If he had the audio on, you could almost hear him facepalming. Chidori please you are not Hal 9000]

I'm fine. Just lying low for awhile.

[floreatnoctem]

[At least she got the right reference.]

I think a month and a half is long enough.

[miseris_socios]

[Thinking, thinking...]

We could make catfish burgers!

[Mm, tasty.]

text

[miseris_socios]

[TOTALLY WILL.]

Maybe if you stopped staring at the computer so much you'd feel better.

[tortileghostwriter]

Thank you. I'll see you there, then.

[yes yes]

text

[morituramfides]

Good thing I didn't ask your opinion, then.

text

[morituramfides]

That's not the problem, smartass.

[Please, if he got sick over that he'd have even less of a life.]

voice

[floreatnoctem]

[Really Jin?]

I wasn't aware I needed to be asked how long was too long without seeing any of you.

[floreatnoctem]

Was there anything in particular you wanted to learn?
