TO: Joan
FROM: Bone
(1) Did you meet him her?

TO: Marce
FROM: Bone
(1) Did you [...] meet Ivan?

TO: Yulia
FROM: Bone
(1) Hey.
(2) Um. If you have the time could you tell me a little bit more about Ivan? Like... as a folklore character.
(3) The internet isn't forthcoming.
(4) And [...] it's not like I really got to chat with him. Last time around.

TO: Maeve
FROM: Bone
(1) The third member of my original Tale trio showed up, did you see?

TO: Gottis
FROM: Cadence
(1) Did you see I have a new Talemate?

I could use some new book recommendations that aren't straight off the NYT bestseller list. Maybe something optimistic, or utopian. I'm in the mood for something diametrically opposed to reality, right now.

[GOTTIS.]

I was able to reschedule my business trip from last week to this week, but I'm afraid to leave lest I come back to a full-scale Woodsbridge meltdown. If you all need me, I can stay instead and try to reschedule for next month...

[MOM SQUAD.]

Somehow, I ended up with about six roasting pans at my house from this past weekend, and I'm absolutely sure they don't all belong to us. Can I unload some of them on to any of you?

[MARCO.]

I just wanted to say how glad I am that you chose to show up at our home. I know this wasn't how you wanted to come out, but I hope you haven't found it to be as difficult as you feared.

You may or may not have looked me up in the registry, but if not, I wanted to forewarn you about my power. "Familial beacon" is a strange phrase for it, but essentially, I can "call" family members, which includes Tale relations. It's mostly a useful ability to get my son to call me when I haven't heard from him in a while, that's all. I mention it because it won't affect you unless I focus on you, or if I broadcast to every family member, so you don't need to worry about it unless something happens to me. A forewarning is generally just polite.

Message me any time if you need something, Marco.

TO: Bellamy McIntyre
FROM: Maude Gotti

(1) Why don't you come over for dinner tonight, sister? It's been a while.
(2) [...] Make sure to come in the back door.

TO: Zachy
FROM: Suze

(1) Oi, you doing alright?
(2) Real worried about Roz right now. She's talking about making deals and giving people fins.

TO: Maude
FROM: Suze

(1) Dunno if you know already, but Roz is talking about making deals. Hypothetically, but not hypothetically, if you get me.

TO: Cadence
FROM: Suze

(1) Howyeh, boyo? Roz said you two weren't real happy with each other right now, wanted to [...] see if you were okay, or what have you

TO: Jake
FROM: Suze

(1) Hey lad, happy late birthday. You wanna come over and pick some stuff from my stores?

[KNOWN/REGISTERED TALEMATES OF THE GOTTIS]
(Russian, Arthurian, Jack-and-the-Beanstalkian + Little Mermaid)

As usual, you're all invited this year to our house for a potluck Thanksgiving on the following Saturday, the 26th. Bring your leftovers or something new, bring wine or beer or cider, bring your loved ones or anyone who you know is far from their own family this year. All are welcome, as long as you come bearing something for the feast. (And even then, I won't kick anyone out: you'll just be on clean-up duty.)

Please let us know if you can or can't make it, or if you're hoping to bring someone, just so we can have a reasonable headcount.

[GOTTIS]

Invite anyone you want to the extended family Thanksgiving, of course. Just give us a heads up.

I have a business trip this weekend, too. I shouldn't be long. Nothing to worry about.

[BEN]

Please invite Arthur for me, dear?

He's not being very subtle, but I'm going to respect his privacy as long as he'd prefer. Just as long as he knows we're here, and we're family.
