"I'm trying to stretch mine a little to match yours."

"I want Vietnamese, are you ok to talk if we get a booth or are you likely to have the wrong kinda 'Nam"

"I think I can handle it."

"Great, hopefully we can have this all wrapped up in time to make it to Hoyts. I already booked us tickets."

"The Amazing Digital Circus?"

"Yeah. Anyway, I'd like to talk to your dad to get his side of the story, but I think I have some idea of whats going on and its mostly big mama chimpken's fault but you screwed up big too so take notes."

"Fine, but just remember who was getting divine messages out of real estate flyers."

"Ok so, your un summoning seems thaumicly sound, and it is a big step up from a real banishing. But I don't think you realized just how cold Vous were being. Like first off vous for papa vous for your good old dad? I'm not the French speaker so maybe I'm missing something, but that seems harsh. Also, the whole framing of things as bussiness transaction. I get that it was an out from the family situation being bad, but it still clearly puts him in the not family bucket which I don't think is what you want."

"It would be nice to have family that talks to me. Cousin Peng is nice, but not actually close and everyone else..."

"Good to have goals for a relationship.

Ok so, going back further, things were already rough before but the shit really hit the fan because of an attack.

You flashed back to your adventuring days when Iomedae explained that you were 100% right about your family, and he started doing twitter clap backs. Clearly because dismissing the need to take any of your opinions seriously is the only reason someone would tell you to get help in response to you going full 'Nam vet. Especially, if it is someone who is supposed to care about you but doesn't know anything about psychiatry.

Right, that's what happened?"

"Does it actually hurt that much when we do it to you?"

"Yes, but don't stop. It's like when you kicked my desk the rest of the way in class."

"I think you're right though."

"I always am."

"Aroden says so."

"Viarge, woman don't scare me like that."

"I learned from the best, and that was barely a spoop."

Between Homeroom, Suicide, and hearing things second hand it should be completely obvious. But I guess it's easier to miss Tan being like that if you have the nice guy for Mythos Mechanics and get out of Hunting completely.

*mama need smoko*

"Sorry, need to check my backup phone real quick, I was still catching up on messages when we finished coffee."

[note to self link I'm howling at the moon when I write it]

"Fine, I need to check my professional social anyway."

"Ok so, before that you were mad at him about the forced marriage and implicit misgendering. You reached for a Star Trek metaphor, which reminds me."

Before next breeding conflunce we need some cosplays. I'm obviously dibsing Kirk, but who want to be McCoy?

We're doing it?
