TEXTS TO CATY

-- Good morning, beautiful!
-- How would you and Joy like to come by for lunch today?

I know that it wasn't all that long ago that I coaxed everyone into talking about sappy things, but it's Valentine's Day month and I saw this, so I really can't help myself:



Though she talks about her husband in the tweet, "a person you love" is definitely a much wider scope than just a significant other or partner. So while you're more than welcome to talk about someone like that, I also want to hear lovely things about friends and family members or even pets. You could even talk about people in your dreams, if that's something you want to express. Be public or anonymous, whatever you're most comfortable with. Spread some love, Dunhaven.

Hello, friends! With it being two weeks into 2020, I've been working pretty steadily on my planner and getting all of my exciting dates for the new year sorted out. I like having things to look forward to, especially since I'm packing my last semester of undergrad full of credits, and one of those things I'm looking forward to is this five year anniversary that I will be celebrating in March. Thinking about it has me all full of warm fuzzies and since it's been a while since I did one of these open forum sort of things, now seems like a good time.

So, here's my question! What is your meet cute? AKA how did you meet your partner? Give me all of the heart eyes with your stories, please and thank you.

FILTERED TO CATY

I have some new designs featuring Australia and a few of their native animals. I was thinking we could add them to the shop with the proceeds going to charities helping the wildfire efforts. Thoughts?

TEXTS TO ELI

-- Hey, babe.
-- Are you close to a stopping point on what you're working on tonight?

[Friends?]

Anyone willing to bid at the charity auction on my behalf? It's too late in the evening, I can't leave the kid. Call me a philanthropist in my old age.

[ooc | he needs friends, if we talked on the intro that he'd get along with someone via Preston or otherwise, feel free to assume? Help a brother out <3]

Dear Dunhaven,

I officially cannot find my toes. Please send help in the form of those really great pies I got when I moved here. And/or cookies. And/or Olive Garden's never-ending pasta bowl.

Sincerely,

Caty (and Baby Salazar)

FILTERED TO CATY

I have so many idea for holiday onesies. Do you have time to meet up this week?

Also, if I were considering reaching out to the others to let them know about Cersei... do you think it would be better to wait until after the new year? Or am I just making excuses to delay?

FILTERED TO GAME OF THRONES DREAMERS

Hi everyone,

If I haven't met you personally before, my name is Avery Perkins. I'm the director of Picasso art gallery and run an Etsy shop with Caty Norfolk.

I'm reaching out to all of you today to let you know that I've been sharing dreams with someone from Westeros as well- Cersei Lannister.

I hid it for a long time for a variety of reasons. The largest and most important reason being that I know just how much Cersei has hurt all of you. I thought that by keeping her from affecting you here, in this life, that I was protecting you from her in my own small way.

I recently came clean with Caty about everything and she encouraged me to reach out to the rest of you to let you know. I took some time to think about it, and realized that she was right. (She usually is.) So this is me letting you all know.

Please understand that I do not agree with any of the horrendous things that Cersei did within her life. If I could take them back or do anything at all to fix them, I would. So I hope you won't hold them against me, but I also understand if you'd rather not interact with me beyond this.

T-minus two weeks until the Norfolk-Salazar house will be complete. Then one month to get everything moved and ready for the newest Salazar. And then Christmas.

[...] Where did this year go?

MILES

Are you guys content with your place or have you considered looking elsewhere or somewhere larger?

ELI

I'm starting to get impatient.

Dunhaven, meet Asher Hikaru Perkins. He arrived last night and I've barely taken my eyes off him since. Both he and his mom are doing well and we should be home soon. We'll definitely let visitors know when we're ready for them.

The clinic will be closed through the rest of the month, outside of emergencies. If you need a referral elsewhere in the meantime, I can get you one. Otherwise, I'll see you and your furiends in November.

TEXT TO THEA

-- We're having a baby!

TEXTS TO CATY

-- Hey, Caty.
-- I wanted to let you know that we just got to the hospital.
-- Looks like a baby is going to happen today.

GROUP TEXTS TO REMI & LYRA

-- Just wanted to let you guys know that it looks like Avery is going to have the baby sometime in the next little while.
-- So any positive thoughts you can or want to spare are appreciated.

Hello, fellow pregnant people. I know that you are out there. (That sounds really creepy, sorry.)

Can we maybe have a pregnant people meeting where we drink orange juice and pretend they're mimosas and eat really good food? Because I feel like that should be a thing that I should have been doing the last 31 weeks.

Also, in case you don't already know me, hi. I'm Abby Moore.

ELI

I need to talk to you about something and I'm doing it on here because I'm pretty sure I'm in no condition to keep myself from crying instead of talking through my feelings. I had a talk with Avery today. She told me who she's been dreaming about.

AVERY

I just wanted to reiterate that I love you.

And also tell you that I think we should expand our line to include baby outfits. I meant to tell you that today but I got sidetracked with everything. I think it would be good, though, you know? I was really proud of the things I've made for Asher and Joy.

WHO: Avery Perkins, Caty Norfolk, & baby shower invitees. (Open to anyone, really!)
WHERE: Perkins Farmhouse
WHEN: Saturday, September 28th. 12pm to 2pm.
WHAT: A combined baby shower for Avery and Caty! OOC plotting!

( DELIVERED TO FEMALE FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF AVERY PERKINS AND CATY NORFOLK )

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

CATY

I'm not sure if I'm just reading into things or what, but I'm pretty sure Miles blocked me on Instagram.

MILES (added after talking to Caty)

Hey. I noticed I can't see your Instagram and I didn't know if it was an accident or [...] maybe it was on purpose and if it was on purpose I wanted to just see what was going on and if everything is okay and [...] yeah. Just wanted to check in with you.

It's official. My least favorite part of vacation is coming home. Which, to be fair, isn't really a bad part considering home is pretty great, all things considered. I got so many Lola kisses when I picked her up. But this past week has been exactly what we needed, I think, and it was made only better by a really lovely weekend with really lovely people. ♥

Also an update: we're almost to the third trimester and I honestly have no idea where the time has gone??
