Изо всех сил стараясь производить на окружающих впечатление дружелюбной простушки, Тхи Лин собралась устроить у себя дома трапезу с соседями (они же родственники). Не успела Тхи приступить к приготовлению еды, как ей позвонил батя Чен и напросился в гости.
Тхи: Как же вовремя ты заглянул, папа! Поможешь мне с готовкой?
Чен: Не вопрос, дочка!
Из официального видео от Максис я узнал о том, что Чен Лин — кулинарный видеоблогер, мечтающий открыть собственный бизнес по продаже уличных закусок. Как же удачно всё складывается!
Совместное приготовление пищи сблизило отца и дочь между собой. Ну что за милота!
Еда готова, можно начинать вечеринку!
На трапезу пришли все наши родственники-соседи и немедленно приступили к поглощению пищи. Все такие серьезные, как будто на поминках...
Сестра Льен решила не принимать участия в общих посиделках и удалилась со своей тарелкой в спальню Тхи. Эй, Льен, у тебя всё в порядке?
А Алон буквально продолжает увиваться возле Тхи, пока та наслаждается компанией и закусками. Эти два бесстыдника делают всё для того, чтобы я сдался и устроил им адюльтер!..
Посиделки с едой у телевизора — очень тепло и по-добрососедски.
Тхи: Сис, ну ты чего, как неродная... Давай обнимемся!
Из уст Льен эта «Томарангская правда» звучит буквально как наезд на бедную Тхи.
В этот же вечер повзрослели наши хвостики — кошка Лол и кот Кек.
И мгновенно стали гвоздями программы!
Алон очень недоволен тем, что Кек внаглую пожирает его еду. Не расстраивайся, Алон — сегодня эта любопытная морда побывала в каждой тарелке!
А наша пушистая красавица Лол выскользнула на улицу и мгновенно искупалась в любви и обожании прохожих.
Пока я наблюдал за тем, как Бекка тетешкает Лол, Тхи успела глубоко обидеться на батю Артуро за его непрошеную мудрость. Что же такое он мог сказать, чтобы так серьезно огорчить дочь?
Несмотря на некоторые эксцессы, мероприятие прошло удачно и Тхи получила награду золотого уровня. Как мне показалось, новое событие представляет собой что-то вроде званого ужина, но гораздо менее пафосное и, кмк, более ламповое. Думаю, что в дальнейшем я регулярно буду устраивать своим персонажам такие соседские посиделки!
I'm not good at this staying away from social media on purpose thing. Anyway cringe diary time but whenever I'm with my friends and the partners topic comes up I'm left 🧍♂️ because oftentimes they lament things that honestly sound good to me... and then I reflect on what kind of relationship I would be comfortable in in general and go "mhhh yeah let's just be sympathetic and say nothing else right"

Our kit kat; a lovely serpent suggested a photo we'd taken of her gives lovely classic ps1 horror vibes, and we could not resist attempting--
We adore her so. She talks as she sleeps, never moving - you better heed her words...~
Only we may use, do not steal.
Imagine being on the wrong side of him, and being hunted down by this hulking behemoth. It would be a feral, deadly game of cat and mouse with a man who could quite literally deadlift you over his head and snap you like a glow stick.
You hear him cursing when you slip away, his voice echoing off the brick. Grating. Booming. You think you found the perfect spot to hide, and you wedge yourself into the alcove. Breath held tight in your lungs as he passes by, muttering curses in German, and snapping into his comms. It fades. Trickling out.
Then, it goes quiet. Deadly still.
You breathe a sigh of relief. He's gone. Still. You wait. And wait. Silence. Nothing. Gunfire echoes in the distance. You need to move, to put as much distance between yourself, and the Haden being slicing through the shadows trying to find you as you possibly can.
You start to crawl out, fingers scratching at the gravel so desperately that your nails tear, leaving streaks of blood–blood red eyes; a voice that sounds like a raw, festering wound–on the stone.
An inch away from your delicate, fragile fingers, a black boot drops. Another one. They're the length of your shins, and crunch the cobblestone, grinding it into dust.
The heft of him seems to shake the ground. It jars you. Your bones rattle. Chattering. Fear pools in your guts.
You look up, and the bulk of him seems to stretch into the infinite cosmos. Shrouded in black. A mask covers his face, and the sight of it reminds you of a pall. You shiver when the eyes cutting through narrow slits sharpen.
He climbed the fire escape, waiting for you.
And now–
"Du gehst mir auf den Keks," he grinds the words out, eyes flashing in red-hot anger. Victory. "But I've finally caught you, maus."

There should be a clan cat saying that translates to "poor little meow meow" in clanmew
The closest phrase is, "His quicks are soooo long." It's very evocative of a sensitive cat and mocks the idea of a person who does bad things because they're sad. "Poor Little Meow Meow" doesn't translate directly, it's a very English-speaking fandom specific kinda word lmao.
"Keks kasmorwang uuuuuuuuuuuuuurrgrryyrr."
[Quicks longness theeeeeeeeeeeeeycontain.]
(Sing the long U for extra emphasis)
The "quick" here is the nerves inside of the claw, which can bleed and cause a lot of pain if the claw breaks. When they say, "He tore a claw," as an injury, that's what they're referring to. It's like having a really bad hangnail.
So in meaning, it's like... "Aw it's so sad, every time he swipes his claws it hurts him. He's hitting you, but it's breaking his hands to do it :("
Quick (of a claw, the nerves within a claw) = Keks
