Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

🖼

Aww, apparently the property manager assigned to our rental has just passed away.

We never even met him, but there's a very flattering obit for him on their website, and everybody from there has been SO FUCKING NICE to us far, I do feel a bit bad...

@anthracite New rule of thumb: except in Serious Arc Scenes, whatever Atber is currently doing/saying should never have anything whatsoever to do with what the adult Mixolynes are doing/saying...

@anthracite Atber definitely needs, at some point, to build themselves a tiny functioning glider—out of components that should never, ever been usable to construct a vehicle of any kind. :)

They left. D':

Shine on, you crazy 0.1 carat diamond. <3

@packbat Yeah, as someone who usually starts by turning off screenshake, particles, and EVERY OTHER THING...

Would it make sense if I were to say "I hate this but love that it exists?" Like, as long as people use it in their own bedrooms and not where decent folk can see it... ;>

Now she's lecturing her presumable-genetic-contributor about "small lightning." I don't know what this is yet, but I promise, I will keep you posted.

OK, now it's "Meow, meow, I'm a cow," inexplicably accompanied by stretching her arms out like airplane wings and zooming around the cafe. That must be one hell of a modified cow.

Hey, @anthracite? I think I found our voice actress for Atber... :>

Another round of "beep beep I'm a sheep," along with a warning of "I'm only halfway done!" to her Zen master of an adult.

She has changed her mind, though, and launched into a very high-speed discourse about the monkeyness of monkeys.

I'll level with you. If I ever spawned, with my neurological "special features," the resulting cubthing would probably be JUST LIKE HER. <3

@troodon Happy birthday dear former kitten... o/` <3

I am very pleased that the Bridge Too Far for her parent/guardian/abductor was her coming over to peek at my laptop screen. He was very gentle in telling her that's rude, and she's actually listened to him!

I'm being a very good kitty and resisting the urge to start watching Videodrome in HD. >:D

UPDATE: She's now running through her sixth consecutive chorus of "beep beep i'm a sheep." I feel a powerful sense of... an emotion I can only call "endearritation."

The kid next to me is WAY the fuck too old to be allowed to be going "BA BA BA BA BA BA BA" at that volume. She's like ten for fuck's sake.

However, she had the decency to segue directly into a series of rapid fire knock-knock anti-jokes*, so I still like her. :D

* e.g.: "Knock-knock." "Who's there?" "Nobody, it's just a joke." Shit, I might even have to steal that one for dragon-bothering purposes. >:D

@Phorm Sorry! I love California and most Californians, but there is a tendency for the one-star crowd on any given review— especially Mexican restaurants— to be Californian vacationers and transplants who are livid because they Don't Do It Like They Did It At Home.

It's a prejudice I'll cop to, but it's a very narrow spectrum one. Generalizing very broadly again, I like almost everything else about California culture!

@hummingrain I should provoke more loud "fights" with Peg like that.

"HEY! GOD DAMN IT DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'RE AWESOME? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, BEING SO BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED AT NINE IN THE FUCKING MORNING!?!"

@hummingrain Sorry to make light of it! I know that can be a very unsettling experience. *hug*

@hummingrain I'm a Martian online and an Italian in real life— so if there's a wrong time of day for yellin' that's news to me! n.n;

I'll bet Peggy dreams every night of a day she isn't woken up with "RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR RAWR."

IMPORTANT PSA:

Have you blown a lion lately?

@eredien *blush* Thank you! Perhaps again someday...

I'm really enjoying that our closest café is named "Monkey Monkey," such that I can tell Peg, "Hey, I'm heading out to some number of monkeys... probably two."
