So, um, now that I'm the father of a sixteen-year-old girl... does anyone have any tips? I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm the youngest in my family, so I don't even have any siblings to go off of.

	Wow, congrats! That's great. No idea how to raise a girl since I have a son instead of daughter. But as to bithday stuff? Some girls like shoes and clothes, espcially the big name brands they sell in the mall. And they like money. Sometimes a car too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And a lacrosse stick, Daddy. You know, while Uncle Damien's listing things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All of this is ... good to know. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If the last me that was here's journals are any indication? Keep her in a very high tower and make sure no demons with pet dogs are allowed anywhere near her. Ever. Uh, other than that, congratulations, nephew-person. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I doubt Inertiaa will let me lock her anywhere, and thanks, Teja. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:28 am UTC (link)
	... You named her after a physics principle? Nerd. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	baby_brendann 2012-02-25 06:31 am UTC (link)
	Apparently her name is Inertiaa Danger, and between me and Maison? Yeah, I buy that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	stateofmotion 2012-02-25 06:24 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, see, your ideas suck and I don't like them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:28 am UTC (link)
	Just so you know, if any demon or djinn or uh, really ugly guy tries to fuck you? I'll kill them, since your dads are both wusses. Welcome here, kiddo. You got a nickname? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stateofmotion 2012-02-25 06:30 am UTC (link)
	Normally I'd say you're weird, but considering it's here and our family is our family, thanks, Uncle Teja. Nope. I like my name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:34 am UTC (link)
	Hey, it's the thing I'm best at doing. Intimidating the beasties to keep away from my family. Oh good, you're a reasonable Wartooth who knows that the weird name is a symbol of pride. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stateofmotion 2012-02-25 06:43 am UTC (link)
	Do you have Growling at Monsters on your agenda? Every day after teatime and between yoga! It's not that weird, really. I could've ended up a Formica or a VanLeerHosen or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:45 am UTC (link)
	Or worse, you could have been Jane. Actually, it's not so much a scheduled event as it is a hobby when I've got the time or if it's necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stateofmotion 2012-02-25 06:51 am UTC (link)
	In this family? Riiiight. I'd be Jane: ArchDuchess of Wobby Bits Brennan-Roberts if I was Jane at all. Oh, well, it's a hobby you're really good at. Well done you! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:54 am UTC (link)
	Nah, Duchess is already taken. Well, with the job I was raised to do, it's kind of part and parcel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stateofmotion 2012-02-25 06:56 am UTC (link)
	Fine, I can be the Bella Contessa. It's really comforting to me how good you are with kittens. You know, you helped me come up with my Awesome Dude test. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 07:00 am UTC (link)
	Kittens and bunnies. They're tiny and soft and I honestly don't think anybody's bad with them. Well, anybody with a soul. Did I? That's pretty cool of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stateofmotion 2012-02-25 07:03 am UTC (link)
	Exactly! That's part one of the Awesome Dude test. "Do they like kittens or bunnies? If not, they are a soulless asshole and you should run away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 07:08 am UTC (link)
	Good test so far, I approve. Hey, if you ever need a place to get away from the crazy, you know where to find Soren and myself, right? I'm not exactly the sharing caring type, but he is, and he's good at weeping dolefully in sympathy and crap like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stateofmotion 2012-02-25 07:11 am UTC (link)
	I know where you live, Uncle Teja. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Anytime. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 06:36 am UTC (link)
	Hey! I prefer pacifist-ninja. And I'd totally set a guy on fire if he tried anything she didn't like. If she didn't do it herself before I could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:37 am UTC (link)
	Fine, take away all my fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 06:42 am UTC (link)
	Not all of it! You can totally help, you're like a brick wall and I'm a weedy tall guy who just happens to be able to fling fireballs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:47 am UTC (link)
	Fine, I'll be your meat shield, Maison, but I can't promise I won't toss you to the beasts if the going gets tough. You're a pretty sizable snack. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 06:49 am UTC (link)
	It's fair. Don't have to be faster than the zombies, just faster than the rest of your party, I'm happy to be the one that trips on the sidewalk for no reason. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:52 am UTC (link)
	Faster than the slowest gazelle, that's right. You guys doing anything but freaking out over sudden daughter? I've been attempting food, and well, I don't mind being told how wrong I am at it by my nephew. That's uh, that's my asking for you guys to come to dinner eventually. It'd be uh. Fun. Or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 06:55 am UTC (link)
	Not really so much freaking out as just 'welp' Sure, I'll talk with the one who's got an actual schedule and we'll figure out when. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 06:58 am UTC (link)
	It'll probably be more Or Something than fun, but there's not exactly much to do around mini-Mordhaus. I'm sure we'll find something. I'd freak the hell out if any of my future spawn showed up. Mostly because I have a feeling I'd be a shit parent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 07:01 am UTC (link)
	I always figured I'd be pretty okay at it? I just never really had time working for the Library, and didn't really think about it much after I got here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 07:02 am UTC (link)
	You've always been really good with the younger futurekids though. I try really hard to be really unavailable when someone needs a babysitter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 07:08 am UTC (link)
	Nothin' wrong with that. I ended up looking after the weebles back home a lot, before the Library. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Well, now I know who to foist my kid on, if I ever have any. Way to accidentally volunteer yourself! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 07:14 am UTC (link)
	Who said it was accidental? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 07:15 am UTC (link)
	I did, just now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 07:16 am UTC (link)
	Yes you did. And I'm not going to say you were wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2012-02-25 07:17 am UTC (link)
	That's a very wise decision on your part. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 06:34 am UTC (link)
	What'd you do for me when I was a girl? ... wait, scratch that, bad example. Have you seen her throw off sparks? She totally throws sparks! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	baby_brendann 2012-02-25 06:42 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'm not doing that to our daughter. She does? Seriously? That's the most ... useful superpower ever, holy crap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 06:44 am UTC (link)
	Well she is half fire sprite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	baby_brendann 2012-02-25 06:51 am UTC (link)
	I know, I just didn't know how her spriteliness would manifest itself! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 06:55 am UTC (link)
	It's actually pretty awesome. And Gizzy likes her, so that's that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	baby_brendann 2012-02-25 06:57 am UTC (link)
	Gizzy likes everyone, though. ... but probably her especially. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 07:00 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, okay, fair point, Gizzy even likes Cee's rats. And not in a wants to eat them way, but in a 'hey you guys are weird and tiny come sit in my fuzzynest' way (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	baby_brendann 2012-02-25 07:04 am UTC (link)
	"Why did you guys get shrunk? Tiny kitties? MADNESS!" Our cat isn't the smartest one ever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 07:08 am UTC (link)
	At least she's bright enough to keep an eye on Bit though, so that's something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	baby_brendann 2012-02-25 07:11 am UTC (link)
	She's a good momma, just to all species, I think. You know she thinks we're her huge furless babies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	big_l_librarian 2012-02-25 07:15 am UTC (link)
	She probably does, and is probably trying to figure out how we got so huge and bald, but hey, at least we can work the can opener. (Reply to this) (Parent)
