hey guys when are we finally gonna name this planet? something COOL. because i got some good ones!

what if we call it "the extreme teen bi-ball"? for the two suns! or "spume"! i think spume is a pretty good one.

how do we vote on this? who's got ideas? if we get enough we could just use a different one every day. yknow keep it fresh!

[ anyway sorry, but merle is... here.

(i've come back from hiatus to say. 1. he icly forgot all about offering dance lessons probably within a week of doing it, and 2. if anyone wants/needs to discuss handwaving an old thread, my office hours are open.) ]

[ Oh, that's. Kind of a bummer. Poor kid. Merle just assumes everyone's a kid. It's a problem. ]

relatives cant always be family, huh? but you know you get out there, see whats going on, you wind up with a better family! you can
you make your own.
no cannon fodder allowed.

I think most half-bloods learn that lesson when dad or mom forgets your birthday. Or your name. Or that they had a kid to begin with.

You choose your family.

But it wouldn't hurt if they could remember birthday gifts. It might make some kids a lot less bitter.

[But, at least they were required to claim their children now. Small steps?]

[weedbgon]

if i know one thing about parenting its that remembering dates is hard as hell.
BUT youre still supposed to keep trying! if you miss one you got a whole new one coming to try again! i mean you gotta still try at all.

Good parents usually don't forget their kids birthdays for their entire lives. But I guess there are some things you just accept about your parents.

You have kids?

[weedbgon]

i dunno. i dunno how that tracks.

i have a couple. theyre not here of course. if i'm lucky the door is gonna keep it that way!

[sonofacesius]

You don't want to see your kids? Or you just don't want them here?

[weedbgon]

the second one!! of course i wanna see em!

just not here

the oldest one is like 12. young teen age.

[sonofacesius]

Good. You just never know.

And 12 year olds can do some amazing things. I've seen it. Don't write them off. But I understand wanting to keep them safe.

[weedbgon]

oh sure they can, yeah. doesnt seem fair to put em up to it. like how many spell slots can they even have?

you know i think id rather take kids around teaching em how to get by on an adventure! a whole controlled thing where someone with a few more levels can watch their backs while they figure it out!

[sonofacesius]

Wait. Spell slots? Levels?

[weedbgon]

yeah i mean you only get so many to burn in a day or whatever
there's like a whole system i don't pay a lot of mind to it
when ive got magic i just try to cast shit and maybe it works, maybe i dont have the juice

[sonofacesius]

Oh. Like an allowance? Or like how everyone's abilities have certain cut offs? I can heal but it's going to take a lot out of me if it's a bad injury.

[weedbgon]

yeah kinda like that. things you can do, things you can't do, only so much juice to go around!
