first of all: did anyone else have really weird dreams last night?
or really weird... dream, i guess
it felt like it went on forever :/

secondly: i want to introduce everyone to my grandpa!! he just arrived in the city and he will be my new roommate :D
now he is a little odd so i want everyone to be really nice to him
(and he is sort of old so his hearing is not always up to par, either, but he tries really hard)
but really he is the best grandpa in the world, lol

[ And Jade will just send over a few snapshots of a grown man who has clearly been taxidermied, mounted on a wooden base that keeps him upright. Most of Jade's dog Becquerel can be seen in the pictures, sleeping peacefully at his feet. ]

i am sure you guys will get along :p

Are you aware that your grandfather is dead?

[She has to be. It's obvious. But...he can't be sure.]

1/2

[nukeoleptic]

what???
omfg he is?????
no he cant be dead D:

[nukeoleptic]

pffthaha yes of course :p
i am the one that stuffed him when he died

[pushesgently]

[Well this actually explains A LOT about Jade in his mind.]

Is this a common ritual for the dead in your world?

[nukeoleptic]

[ It explains a lot about her to a lot of people, tbf. ]

no, not really
i actually havent met anyone else who has this particular tradition
but grandpa was pretty firm that this was the way it had to be when he died!!!
so i honored that

[pushesgently]

It is commendable that you did so.

[After all, he knows very well what sort of viscera she would have had to deal with.]

I take it this was the gods' gift to you?

[nukeoleptic]

it was just a thing that had to be done :)

and grandpa is a he, not an it :P
but yes he was
its good to have him around again

[nukeoleptic]

things sure have been... things!
i mean
stuff kind of sucks more than it is good lately
or maybe im just
i dont know
bluh :p
it will all be okay

text.

[heorot]

things do have a nasty tendency to be things
but if there's anything i know about things that suck its that it all tends to pile up
im glad youll be okay though!
okay is much better than the alternative

also youve got your granddad here so youll need to show him around!

I had the dreams too. Not so much the stuffed grandfather, but I imagine that's a little more personal than strange dreams?

[windbreak]

I'm honestly trying 2 figure out what reaction u want from something that creepy
so i can not give it to you

[And he's stumped. Little help? ...Wait, no, that would defeat the point.]

text.

[nukeoleptic]

i think i will just let him peek out the window
he has a little trouble walking these days and i dont feel like dragging him around

text.

[nukeoleptic]

what were your dreams like?
and lmao what do you mean personal?

[nukeoleptic]

what!
excuse me :(
just because something is dead doesnt automatically mean its creepy

text.

[heorot]

if I still had my magic I'd offer to levitate him around
I can imagine dragging him would be tiring

what does he like to do anyway?

text.

[nukeoleptic]

he used to love exploring :D
and hunting big game
and doing silly dangerous things like raiding crypts
and having tea parties with his silly pictures of blue ladies

It's a little hazy. It just seemed like I was there for a long time, but when I woke up it had only been, what, eight hours? An average night. ANd I mean I don't think everyone woke up with their grandfathers...

[windbreak]

Nnnno but, u cant tell me literal stuffed dudes aren't over the line
I mean u can see the lines ON him????
