Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@hystericempress A relatively staid acquaintance of mine just sent me the Pup Hood Discourse as an example of What's Wrong With These Kids Today and I am SO TEMPTED to just smack him in the snoot with your take.

@anthracite @xinjinmeng Also, this sounds like the intro to a New Wave song, quite likely by David Byrne. Or maybe Will Powers*.

@chimerror BLARGH i hate that *dle games won't let you go back and play old once -- binging when you first discover one of these games is one of the biggest hooks >___<

@spottyfox Oh, I'd never even heard of those other two!

@spottyfox So... September 26, 1990.

@anthracite @xinjinmeng She has just been asked to be let out. I really hope she reads the pamphlet I gave her about the virtues of ground-related social activities.

@anthracite @xinjinmeng Princess Fogbrain checked in via the Squeakypawbs Method at around 3:30 pm and is currently bumbling around the apartment with her sister. <3

@JulieSqveakaroo Congratulations!

@Phorm I dunno, that meme has considerable revival value. I think it might survive at least 2-3 trips through the Great Bulldada Cycle.

Fifteen minutes later...

*squeakersqueakersqueaker*

She's mashing her li'l pawbs on the front door, her standard way of begging to be let in.

Well, you're asking from THE GROUND, Amelia, so sure. You can come in and hide out from the rain for a bit.

Welp, Artie back outside. We let her hang out for the afternoon as a reward for sticking TO THE GROUND.

I fully expect we're gonna look up and hear SAD MEWING again, but at least we're getting her retrievals down to an exact science. *sigh*

I think next step is flush out neighbor in hopes of getting contact info for landlord. If they blow us off... I start consulting my Mad Engineers friends for advice. I am not above building Artie a ramp and then just busting a b̶i̶g̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶h̶o̶l̶e̶ catdoor in the side door.

@001zlnv spiced morons

@zx3 (it's fine, I grew up on classic SNL and if we hadn't packed her off to the TNR clinic when she was a baby, she'd probably be an ignorant slut :> )

@Phorm Who in the HELL said that?!?

Yup. Right on back in the attic.

It's a sunny day, we left her a bowl of water, we have no reason to think she's in any danger up there, and we left the ladder in place so rescuing her should be pretty quick and easy.

It's fine. Short-term, I'm dealing, I'm surprised how low-anxiety I am about this. Long-term... I still have absolutely no freakin' clue what we're gonna do with her if she won't learn her lesson from getting stuck.

@xinjinmeng Yeah, nine billion, but these days they do have machines to help automate it so it's really not so bad.

Just... always leave one name hanging, OK? It's just basic safety. Personally, I like to skip "Bea Arthur," although sometimes if I'm in a whimsical mood, I will skip "the Bananas Foster king cake from Brennan's."
