A belated ~happy Easter~ from this Puri to you: ( Cut for image! )

She definitely didn't understand the concept of looking for Easter eggs, but she definitely understood the concept of breaking them open and finding chocolate and jellybeans. It makes me extra excited for Halloween this year when she's bigger and realizes that it's candy that's being put in her bucket.

Two questions:

How big of a dog do you think could fit comfortably into a two-bedroom apartment? And is it too much to consider upgrading to a house just so that you can have room for a big dog?

Asking for a friend.

WHO: Calla and Jahan Puri, with Dahlia
WHEN: Afternoon of February 25
WHERE: The Puri residence
SUMMARY: Dahlia says her first word that she actually knows what it means -- and it isn't "mama" or "dada".
WARNINGS: None!
PROMPT: First

( 'Lyra! Lyra-Lyra!' )

Excuse you, meme. When did Remington become a men’s name? I’m pretty sure I wear it better.

[WAVERLY]

Though, honestly, I am fine with owing you a back rub.

And I’m getting ready to do something probably stupid and brave.

[LYRA, JAHAN, CALLA]

Firstly, I love you all, and I don’t think I’ve told you that as much as I should have recently.

There’s something I need to tell you, and it’s honestly been kind of terrifying for me to admit it. I have…a lot of things that I keep pretty close to the chest, and this is one of the biggest ones. It’s one that I’m ready to talk about, though. It’s something that I can finally accept, where I never could before.

I’ve been kind of seeing someone, in unofficial terms, since New Years. That person is a girl, and I am…unequivocally gay. It’s not something I’m ready to be public about yet, but it is something I don’t want to continue hiding from you three. Please still love me

GIRLFRIENDS (feel free to assume this includes already established friends, colleagues, etc.)

Happy Galentine's Day, you poetic and noble land-mermaids!! Finnley managed to secure a private room at The Square (please apologize to your mom in advance, Denver) and I've kicked my husband out of the house for the night for an evening of wine, facials, and whatever the heck we want on Netflix. Can't to wait to see you ladies tonight! ♥

Okay, but imagine having this much time on your hands? Granted, I imagine this bloke--or guy, even (I watch way too much European soccer, sometimes my brain thinks I'm British) does something I wouldn't understand in sound technology or audio mixing or whatever the word is. But I can tell you for damn sure that he doesn't have a toddler, because this is not the sort of thing parents of toddlers have time for. Speaking of toddlers, mine cried and covered her ears when I played this. On the bright side, it probably turned her off furbies!

In case you were able to hear the screaming from the Puri household, don't fret. I'm just a little too into figure skating.

Who wants to come over for a dinner party on Saturday?

ALEX

Feel sorry for me. I've been in my head all day and now my favorite Lush bath bomb is gone from under the sink. I'm not saying Mikhail stole it, but we definitely need to change the locks.

WHO: Calla and Jahan Puri → Lily Evans and James Potter, with a cameo of the Dursleys
WHEN: TBD → Shortly after Vernon proposed to Petunia
WHERE: TBD → A restaurant in London
SUMMARY: Lily and James have dinner with the future Mr. and Mrs. Dursley. It does not go well. [Placeholder! The rest will be added when it's completed.]
WARNINGS: None!

( 'Come, Petunia. I told you that this was a bad idea. I won't be talked to like this, not from /these/ sorts.' )

ANNIE, OCEANA RIDGEWAY

Hello, Oceana! I don't know if we've had the pleasure to meet yet, but my name is Calla Puri. Annie and I are teachers at the high school and we're going to be directing the upcoming musical that the students will be putting on. I know that this might be coming out of nowhere, but we were wondering if you would have any interest in doing the choreography? We know that you probably have a busy schedule and completely understand if this is an undertaking you're not interested in, but we still wanted to reach out and see if there's a chance you'd be available. You came to mind immediately when we started brainstorming.

The musical itself is Wicked and we'll be starting rehearsals on February 5, though we won't be diving into choreography right away as we want them to know the songs. We would have contacted you sooner, but we didn't have many details until this past weekend. (There was a brief hiccup with getting licensing, but thankfully everything was sorted out just in time for when we'd planned on having auditions.)

Anyway! Just let us know. It'd be a pleasure to have you on the team, but we do understand if you can't. Thank you for considering either way!

ANNIE

Hey, you. There's something that I've been wanting to talk to you about, but I wanted to wait until after you were done honeymooning and had some time to get settled. I know you're probably still settling, but [...] I just need someone to talk to. I know I have others I can talk to, but you're who I need right now. That is, only if you don't have too much on your mind. I don't want to add to it.

WHO: Calla Puri, with cameo of Dahlia → Lily Potter, with cameo of Harry
WHEN: Evening of November 16 → An evening in late July of 1981
WHERE: The Puri's home → The Potter's home
SUMMARY: Calla tries to put Dahlia to bed and gets help from a memory of a lullabye.
WARNINGS: None

( 'I see the moon and the moon sees me…' )

What you can't see is the contents of the rest of the silverware drawer just off camera. It's a good thing she's so cute.

ANNIE

I know that you're honeymooning and I'm not going to keep you from that, but I just had to tell you that I love you. I hope you're having a good time!

WHO: Jahan and Calla Puri → James and Lily Potter
WHEN: October 31, 2017 → October 31, 1981
WHERE: Their home whilst sleeping → their home whilst… not sleeping
SUMMARY: Jahan and Calla are gifted memories of a particularly awful Halloween.
WARNINGS: Death. :(

( There was really only one person who came to Godric’s Hollow of their own accord, and James knew Sirius would never force the door like that. )

Just a reminder that we're having auditions tomorrow evening at the Dunhaven Community Theater from 5:30pm-9pm for the production of Miracle on 34th Street!

Also just a reminder that I'm getting married in less than three days!!! (I'm not sorry for how obnoxiously enthusiastic I'll be for the next 36 hours.)
