Minnie: *whispers* "why are we here?"

Morticia: *whispering back* "I don't knowwwww."

L: "You understand what Dissolution means, Lavinia?"

Lavinia: "Yes. The decreased energy, the memory loss. I understand."

L: "Alright. And you swear to take responsibility for making this choice for your children?"

Lavinia: "Yes. I have already declared the oath before we even got here."

L: "Alright."

L: "Alright kiddos, your turn."

Morticia: "For what?"

L: "...nothing much. Don't worry, it won't hurt a bit."

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia: ...you did NOT just do that RIGHT in front of me. Right in front of our wedding setup that hasn't been dismantled yet!

Shasta: No, Livi, it's not like that, I...I was just thinking of you?

Lavinia: ...you can't expect me to believe that. Right? Right?

Lavinia: I do not want to see your face for the rest of the night.

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia: Bold of you to show up now.

Shasta: I literally didn't hear you! What am I supposed to do, be psychic?

Lavinia: No, but you are supposed to be better than this, by this point, for kids you wanted...I think we can agree this isn't working.

Shasta: You're right. I don't think it is.

Margo: Nice to be home from school! Sure hope our parents' relationship didn't blow up while we were gone :)

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia: SHASTA! It's TIME!

Shasta: did I just hear something? must've been the wind.

Nope, just the sound of MY GAME THINKING IT'S FUNNY

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia: What are you doing.

Shasta: ...going to bed?

Lavinia: Nope. Couch.

Shasta: What? Babe, I cannot sleep on the couch, it's so uncomfortable -

Lavinia: I think that's a fine consequence for not giving your wife the one thing she's wanted for months and instead fulfilling your own wants first.

Shasta: I told you, I didn't want to overcharge! And I will be sleeping in our bed tonight!

Lavinia: FINE! *stomps out*

Lacy: ...sure sounds fine.

[reality-refuge]

Since the dorms were too "basic" for Lavinia, she used some of Mom's money to buy a townhouse for her...and Shasta, of course.

Lavinia: I feel like I have to tell you that uhhhh...I have already gotten myself cursed lol

Shasta: oh babe, classic newbie move. We'll get you fixed up soon!

[reality-refuge]

and then, it's Harvestfest.

Lavinia: Hey Mom, since you got zapped earlier, can we get another cat?

Kit: what

Lacy: Mmmrp?

Hi, Lucy! Everyone say Hi Lacy!!!

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia: I didn't ask for this! I don't deserve this kind of treatment! I'm just a little guy! I didn't want a little guy!

Puppo: :)

Lavinia: I knew you would understand.

[reality-refuge]

See you never, Mom.

Matilda

p.s. bye, Min and Mort. Love you, always.

(Margo & Marcus' letters under the cut)

Mom,

You weren't the best Mom. Not sure how much of that remember. Not sure if I care about if you do remember or not. Treat Minnie and Morticia right. If you don't, I'll be right around the corner, ready to step up in the way I didn't have.

Minnie and Mort,

Sorry for disappearing. We're never far away, I promise. And we love you so much. Do your best, try new things, and know that I'm proud of you for everything you do.

Love, Margo

Mom, Minnie, and Morticia,

We're gone now. But know that we are working on bringing us back together. Cross my heart and promise my everything. Please understand, and know that we love you.

Sincerely, Marcus Moonglowe

[reality-refuge]

Happy Birthday Lavinia, Minnie, and Morticia!

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia: "I don't have time for this. I have a three-tiered birthday party to plan and a nap to take."

Matilda, text: We need to talk. My room in 10.

Margo, text: OUR room >:(

Marcus, text: Agreed. See u there.

[reality-refuge]

Matilda: "Watcher, there you are, Mom!"

Lavinia: "Yeah, I was at work, on the grind. Like you should've been."

Matilda: "Literally aged up like 12 hours ago, but whatever."

Matilda: "Wait, where's your necklace?"

Lavinia: "What are you talking about?

Matilda: "Your necklace? Y'know, the failsafe we all keep on ourselves all the time?"

(reality-refule spellcaster lore under the cut)

I basically treat gemstones - usually worn on the person as a necklace, but also as another piece of jewelry or clothing item - as familiars. The idea is that when a spellcaster comes of age where they can overcharge (i.e. teen life stage), some of their magical energy is channeled into a gem so they can call on it when needed.

It's not always necessary, especially for a caster who knows their energy well. But for a family like the Locklear-Moonglowe's, they take that security very seriously.

Lavinia: *sigh* "Damn."

Lavinia: "I know what I need to do."

Lavinia: "Hey girls, do you want to have the day off school tomorrow?"

Minnie: "Sounds good to me!"

Morticia: "Are we in trouble?"

Lavinia: "No, I just thought it'd be nice to have a mom-daughter day. Sound good?"

Minnie: "Yeah!"

Morticia: "Sounds good to me."

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia escapes the situation at home by running back to tutor at Britechester.

Lavinia: "Does it make me feel smart or make me feel exhausted?"

Lavinia: "Trick question! It's both."

[reality-refuge]

Lavinia: "Hey kids, I have some bad news...Shasta's gone. Your inheritance from him has been split up between you all already."

Morticia: :(

Matilda: "Wow, you sound real upset there, Mom."

Lavinia: "Matilda-"

Matilda: "Oh, what are you gonna do, ground me? Ground THIS."

Matilda: "Infer-"

Lavinia: "Minionize."

Lavinia: "Now go to your room."
