"What she doesn't know can't hurt her."

"...you may actually want a low-stakes way to gauge your mom's reaction and introduce her to the concept that her son might not be a paragon of masculinity," Vivian mentions. "So, uh, maybe not full drag but some eyeliner and nail polish. Push the Overton window."

"Man I think I'm just... I mean, I have... no idea. How to deal. With. Her. She's, um." He glances at Felicia. "Really Catholic. 'A notebook gave my eldest child superpowers that turned him into a bishounen Mary Sue' is..."

"What does being Catholic have to do with it?"

Permalink

"My mother would definitely think this was a demonic plot of some kind."

Permalink

"...I was gonna go did I say to tell her you found a magic notebook and have superpowers, I did not but then I remembered you're gonna be very conspicuously not going to school. The gender thing is kind of negotiable but you're going to be really obviously not... normal... anymore."

"I mean I'm not even sure, like... I mean there's no guarantee that if I take the isekai roulette I'll even stay here at all, or, what I mean is, I might be isekai'd for a long time and then I'm a missing person?"

"Roulette?"

Marcus flips back a couple of pages and shows the description of the "destinations" to him and Felicia.

Permalink

"Wait, so you'll just... be gone? Disappear? Wait that wasn't in the contract."

"You said you were planning to come back, to fix your apocalypse scenarios if nothing else. And maybe you can find an interdimensional communication method to go with your interdimensional transit, then it'd be no worse than going off to college really."

Permalink

"Yeah, I'm coming back, but the way the notebook explained it there's no guarantee that I'd be able to come back immediately. I guess I could specify that.

"But I'm definitely not going to school anymore. That's not even in question. So, yeah, the problem remains."

Permalink

"Maybe you could pretend? Come back at night or something?"

Permalink

"Fel I love you but I am not going to be coming back home daily to keep up a pretense that I'm normal while I'm having who-knows-what adventures off in some other universe, even if I can which is not obvious and would substantially limit my options probably."

Permalink

"But on the other hand mom might actually literally die. If she finds out."

Permalink

"The notebook could maybe make something up? Some... I don't know, scholarship of some kind? Board school?"

Permalink

"Iiiiiiii really do not know how that could be pulled off in a way that convinced mom which didn't involve mind control."

Permalink

"...your best option here may be to give your mom the surprise, magic heart attack and have Felicia on standby with the defibrillator."

Permalink

Peter grimaces and looks at Felicia.

Permalink

"I have no idea, the day you came out was bad enough."

Permalink

"...maybe we could tell dad, first?"

Permalink

"He can't keep a secret from her."

Permalink

"Not a secret, just... have him help figure out what to tell her? And how? By the way you're Catholic how are you dealing with all of this?"

Permalink

"...aren't you?"
