Yeah, of course! If you wanna make it extra special, we can go on a mod hunt! Really make it a world for just us.

There's a few I've been looking at I haven't had a chance to set up yet and nows a good a time as any.

... Wanna play Minecraft?

Our older brothers are being idiots. Think we could probably do with a distraction. (... no pressure tho;; Whenever you're ready- I'm not going anywhere tn I hope.)

Sure...

Can we maybe start a new world though? A certain person had a big hand in making our old one and I just... I don't want to be reminded of him right now...

[realrocketboy]

wouldn't it get him away from fretting all over our missions though?

My dear Jeff,

I do hope all is well on your stretch of the Pacific, and that your boys haven’t had to drop into anything too dramatic lately (though I’ve long suspected the Tracys attract excitement the way some people attract fine wine).

Just a quick message to say I’d be delighted if you’d consider coming up to the lodge in Scotland for a few days. Just the two of us - no grand agenda, unless you count a bottle or two of obscenely good whisky, some fine fare and some good weather (perhaps, it is Scotland after all!).

We can catch up properly. If the mood strikes, I have a business matter or two I think might intrigue you, small ventures in I’d value your thoughts on - nothing urgent, just the kind of thing one likes to talk over near a fire, away from boardrooms and broadcast signals. Otherwise, perhaps we can swap notes about being fathers to suddenly grown and alarmingly capable young adults?

Bring your walking boots and your wit. The heather’s just coming into bloom, and the trout are practically begging to be caught.

Do say yes.

Yours ever,

Hugh CW

Hugh! It’s so lovely to hear from you again, you old sea dog!

The boys are doing about as fine as can be in our line of work. Of course they’re all grown now but with each physio appointment they seem to be respecting my authority to get them to rest. You know how much they mean to me.

It would be an honour to catch up with you, although I suspect a few sons may have a protest or two about it. But how could I ever pass on an opportunity to see a such a dear old friend again? I sure have missed you and your correcting my every fourth word 😉

If it’s business you’d like to discuss I’m sure I can lend an ear, although I’m still catching up with everything so my suggestions may be dated. Imagine that! You’re right about away from boardrooms and broadcasts, privacy and the chance to actually discuss something without fear of being made a spectacle is by far the best way to think about things. I’m already tired of the press, how do you and Penny handle it?

The parenting department I could definitely do with some advice in. My own notes are feeling a little sparse but between the two of us I’m positive we’ll figure it out!

Looks like I’ll be digging those old boots out of storage. I’m sure I can find the right moment to slip away, so do keep an eye out for a message telling you when to crack open that whiskey!

Yours,

Jeff Tracy.

Why are we making puppy dog eyes at dad again?

We're taller than gordon now!!

Dear Virgil. Who are all your family as Mr Men?

Hello Anon

Ooo this is a challenge (and very sorry this has taken so long to answer).

Answer under the cut as it got quite long.

Let's start with Scott @scramjettracy

The obvious candidate is Mr Tall

He's even blue, in line with Scott's favourite colour. However, I think Mr Rush also has a claim.

(Ooc: especially since it was Recharge in the @thunderversary-rewatch-party recently)

For John @starman-john-tracy it has to be Mr Clever.

He's clearly not a great physical likeness of John but John knows EVERYTHING. I mean it.

For Gordon @squidsinashirt I'm going to choose Mr Brave

He's yellow which is so Gordon. More importantly though, Gordon doesn't hesitate and he's calm in every situation. Given various people's attempts to squash him a lesser person would have given up, but not Gordon.

Alan @realrocketboy @thunderbird-3-best-bird has to be Mr Small

He's red and he's small! It also goes well when Scott is Mr Tall.

Grandma @granny-turismo is another one where I have two. There's Little Miss Inventor

This is on account of her "surprise" culinary creations. We've never been quite sure if they're as much of a surprise to her as everybody else. However on a more serious note is Little Miss Busy

It takes soooo much to keep us all going. Yes we have our domestic drones but just making sure everything is in order when we're on back to back rescues is a real effort. She didn't have to take this on after retirement but she did and we're very grateful.

Lastly, I think Kayo would be Little Miss Surprise

She's not surprising like that pic though! She'll surprise you by suddenly being right there and you didn't see her coming.

[realrocketboy]

Hey , you're officially the one that gets to go in the small places! A truly valuable role :P Someone has to do it. (Enjoy your nap Squirt! Sounds like you did good!)

Hi, How is your day?

You... want to know how my day was?

Uhh ok.

There was a late night rescue into the early hours of this morning, I wasn't needed but I did stay up watching the live feed in the lounge for as long as I could.

Half woke up when someone picked me up off the couch to take me up to bed, pretty sure it was Gordon because of all the grumbling about me being heavy. Tucked me in, fell asleep again.

Actually properly woke up at like 9am, Scott made pancakes, Gordon was doing laps in the pool, everyone else was still sleeping after last night's rescue. Got a soggy hug from the chlorine monster after he'd finished his swim, stole one of my pancakes before dashing off to shower but later payed me back with one of his.

About lunch time Allie got called out with T3 for a damaged prototype rocket in an uncontrollable spin and Kayo was called to do some detective work with Lady Penelope. Rest of us crowded around in the lounge.

Afternoon we get another call out, this time it's a complete system shutdown in a deep sea lab and they're losing oxygen, pretty simple job so Gordon takes me along for the ride... Turns out it's not so simple, because their system is down there's no way to access the building and it's pretty much everything proof. Only way on is through the water filteration system which I'm the only one small enough to squeeze in... Yay...

Manage to get into their generator room and now everyone has to walk me through how to restart this thing while I'm trying not to panic because I am completely alone. Eventually it's fixed, everyone is all good, no injuries except for me getting bumped and bruised while scrabbling through the pipes.

Right now we're on our way home, I'm trying not to fall asleep, squished up next to Gordon in the pilot's seat, I'm exhausted!! I think I'm just gonna sleep here tonight, I don't care how uncomfortable it is... I'm just too damn tired...

YOU COME RETRIEVE HIM BEFORE THE BLENDER DOES

Do you still dabble in WURM antiques?

Yes I do 😌✨

Obviously, I would never dream of actually going down to one of the WURM mines, a responsible member of International Rescue would never do anything like that… 🙂‍↔️

Recently acquired a set of these little metal spinning tops called Beyblades that you can swap out these discs for and battle each other with…

Ooh, and an original 1990s Furby that’s lost an eye that I’m gonna fix up… it does keep waking up in the middle of the night and I won’t lie, it’s a little spooky so I put it in Scott’s closet, just in case .

[realrocketboy]

no we're not having the "can i run" argument again :V

I'm not saying I couldn't! Just that there's someone else I'd have more fun watching. And that I'd prefer getting really good at climbing if I had to.

If you were to compete at the Olympics, what would it be in?

HM well I know what I'm not doing - nothing water related or I'll never hear the end of it @>@

Rock Climbing would be fun I think! There's been some kinda climbing event at every olympics since 2020. And having to get good at climbing was probably one of the more FUN parts of IR training.

Running might work but I reeeeeally don't wanna do that training.

And I can think of someone else who'd be better at snowboarding.

So. There ya have it anon. I'm not gonna be doing olympics training any time soon though.

Hi Alan, love your work, massive fan.

Just a question though - do you find color makes a difference?

Do red wires taste any different to black?

How many wires is the ideal weekly average to chew?

Do you have a preferred temperature for them?

@squidsinashirt

@thunderfledgeling

Are you two responsible for this >:0

[realrocketboy]

It's not my fault the red gummy bears are the best! Or that the chips are better without the dip. And all's fair in Mario Kart and Smash bros, little sib. All's fair in love and Mario Kart.

(I will let the cable comment go. For now. >:V)

Sea creature is yellow, wriggly and bitey?

This seems like the vibe of someone I know…
