How are you fairing at Sweetums?
How are you fairing at Sweetums?
So gearing up to October, a few reminders:
- We do not buy or sell Monster Mash.
- Halloween sound effect records are back on the playable list. And probably should have been months ago tbh.
- lmk your availabilities for ACL. Either here or if you want to head down to Austin. We're hosting an after thing with KOOP the first weekend
I've got a proposition for you.
I reckon the girls might do well seeing a bit more of one another than the once a week or so these we've been doing.
Think we can move to a bit more'n that for them?
When do you wanna do the next time with Anka Irene and Nina?
Can it be at your place?
And are ya good with it just being her that comes over?
What's everyone think about a get together next Saturday morning? Any particular place some of yours might be wanting to go? Or do we wanna stick to house ones right now?
I really miss the in ground defense lasers. Why did we get rid of those again?
I'm gonna be opening up my house for a playdate this Friday from eleven to two. We got an expansive backyard with different climbing things and a lil area that's perfect for real little ones.
And then inside has areas for the kids to play as well and all of us to gather if'n its hotter'n Hades again.
I can grill burgers and hot dogs and then if'n anyone coming over could just bring some side dishes that'd be real grand. Just let me know who all is coming so I can get the right amount of food for the grill. Or if'n ya want something else grilled let me know that too.
Miss Gwynn, are you still around these parts?FILTER TO ERIK LEHNSHERR
Have you returned?
I know you don't know me, but I wanted to say hi. I'm Hope.
When the world gets bigger, experience tells me to retreat and secure the borders of the territory I've claimed as my own, to ensure that when they come for us, we'll be ready for them. When I first arrived, us was me. Then Rogue. Then Hope. Then Peter. Then Anka Irene. And of course, Charles. Us grew as if it fed on some quiet resolve that I didn't know possessed me here.
I'm glad you're all here. I trust that you will remain here. In that other place, I came to see the world in absolutes. Perhaps I still do. But that absolutism has bloomed past myself, encompassed Mutancy, and encompassed the Displaced as a whole. That was the reason for the caves. Quick, effective shelter for all of us. And though they do not need it here, perhaps what they do need is an opportunity to be together. Or, at the very least, a time to eat.
What do you say to inviting all for a dinner? We can procure a long table, put it in the clearing, and have everyone over. We'll get their friendship and, at the very least, we'll take their measure.
I trust the time travel left you unharmed.
Not quite Neiman Marcus, but I hear tell there's a Nordstrom in town now.
Do you want to go see the play with me next week?
Let us agree that Scott's way is the path of least resistance and the one which we can all agree is that which is best for us all. But I don't for a moment believe that the path we take will be easy, nor best.
I believe we should be prepared to work around - or in spite of - the law in Tumbleweed to protect our people in case one seizure turns into many, and without cause. I would understand completely if you do not wish to go down this road. But if you don't, I would ask that you leave me with the name of someone close to you who would.
Stay close to my cabin or the mansion. And if you need me, I will be there.
Have you taught Sorcha to retrieve?
I'm gonna go out with Betsy and Jean Friday afternoon for a few hours. Spa time and lunch then probably chat with Betsy about wedding details for an hour or so. I'll make sure you got enough for Anka Irene for when she's hungry while I'm gone. That work for you?
We need to talk.
Beyond Violet and Diana Prince, I do not know that there are any others which could do wholesale damage to the town. Or, they could, but they are human.
I've counted you one of my only friends throughout this journey - as you are well aware, neither Charles nor myself make them easily - but last night during a conversation it's come to my attention that there are parts of people like us I don't entirely understand.
I thought to begin with you. Do you have a day off, soon? I'd like to chat.
Old friend. How are you?
Rogue told me about the memories you received. And I want you to know that I may not be Max, but I understand that you did what you had to do.
Anka Irene just dropped a ball bearing on the kitchen table. Or you borrowed some magnetism.
As a continuation of our discussion and your very natural wisdom, I decided that it is time I learn more about our friends who do not have the X-gene.
