((Hey...

I appreciate everyone being patient with me. A lot of crap going on in my real life has burnt me out and made it hard to roleplay. A sort of "When it rains it pours." situation. I still come on to occasionally check on everyone, but I don't have a lot of energy to spare. And I've learned recently what happens when I try to push beyond myself. So. While It's not a full on hiatus, when I do feel up for it I've been quietly working on drafts when I can.

Again. Thank you all for being patient with me.

I promise I haven't lost anything and as far as I can tell asks haven't been eaten, but you can check in if you aren't sure. I will gladly let you know.))

Phoenix has arrived on his bike to collect Jane so they can see their father for Father's Day. He's standing outside texting her multiple times in a row because they're already late for lunch

Jane came out of her office, typing on her phone before closing it and putting it away. The change in seeing her brother earned a smile, a wave and a warm

"Hi Phoe! Thank you for waiting." She didn't take that long, but she still wanted to thank him for being patient.

"Are you ready to go?"

[thebladesmithmuses]

((Hello. I'm still here I promise. I haven't abandoned anything. They just gave me more hours at work, so I'm just slightly more exhausted. Give a little bit to adjust. If it's even permanent anyway.))

[thebladesmithmuses]

((We closer later on Fridays so I'm probably just gonna eat and go to bed. Night y'all!!))

[thebladesmithmuses]

((SO I'm gonna sleep because I'm super tired. Good night.))

[thebladesmithmuses]

Jane is just, laughing. She is laughing so hard right now. It takes her a moment to even respond to this. "Well, it's true. Though, I'm surprised you aren't shocked."

So. I heard your sister likes to sleep around Nick. Is that true?

M!A so agreeable!! //

( ...! )

"Yes, Jane loves to sleep around. Everybody knows that. "

"They are... mostly about the incident." Garry took a breath. "I would normally paint what I was feeling, but... visualizing it only causes me a lot of stress I don't have time to deal with. The poems... I guess they help me cope while also not causing myself too much distress."

Though, Garry has certainly been trying to paint his experiences. Painting seems to help Ib cope at least. So he'll take some mental strain if it helps ease the child's mind. Ib's happiness and comfort came first.

Connor absently reached into his jacket and pulled out a coin. He was starting to fidget as well, flipping the coin over the back of his fingers. Judging by the human's sudden change in vitals it was causing him some distress to speak about it.

"I'm sorry to hear that. But you're not alone in that. My job is quite dangerous so there has been several times I've come close to death myself." A slight pause. "Does a lot of your poetry reflect similar topics? Or is it all related to a specific incident?"

Connor couldn't help his curiosity and drive to learn more about humans and their psychology. It helped him a lot with dealing with android and human victims on the job.

"Oh." Nugget blinks slowly. "Nugget supposes that makes more sense."

"No,no. It's not the same type of kindergarten. A Gem kindergarten is just the place where Gems are made. It's not a school. But I don't know why it's called the same thing, honestly"

[thebladesmithmuses]

Duck nods his head. He sat there for a moment longer before slowly getting into his feet. His legs whined with the effort. The distress coming from his mechanical parts was nothing short of concerning.

But Duck didn't even seem to notice.

His attention goes to Rose once he's on his feet.

"Of course." He says.

Rose was shocked by the offer, but quickly smiled.

"Thanks, Duck. It means a lot to me that you'd offer to let me be here."

"Y-You're a farm hand who saved Hyrule and the T-T-Tw-light realm, sir! Y-You're stories... They... They meant a lot to me."

Rowan folded his arms. his heafin's wagging slowed. his ears drooped a tad bit. His cheeks still dusted red. His voice was already soft, even if the excitement did pull a louder tone for just a moment. It just seemed to return to that softness as before.

"It... It made me feel I could get home... That it, i-it wasn't impossible to find another way back. Despite being trapped here in Hyrule for... a long time. S-So. I'm-"

Rowan takes a deep breath and looks up at Link with a bright smile. "I-I'm very happy to finally meet you, Link. I-I... um. I hope that's okay."

wait. wait what? now he looks more confused and. Well, Link definitely has some pink cheeks himself now. "What? I'm. I'm just a farm hand really... I mean, I know Telma and Ronaldo like to talk me up but that doesn't change things... I'm just a farmhand from Ordon, really..." A humble hero. Who perhaps doesn't realize jsut how much an impact he's had on so many lives.

Someone needs to get her a blanket and take the glasses off of her face before she bends them! Better not mess up that back either

Might as well carry her to bed too while you're at it! No point in her sleeping on the couch! Sleeping like that will definitely miss up her back.

But naw, anyone can reply to those musing if they want. I just use them to announce that I'm hitting the hay soon.

[thebladesmithmuses]

Jane had gotten comfortable on her couch with her laptop on her lap. She was stubbornly trying to update client files, even had music blasting in hopes it would keep her awake.

But to no avail. Eventually her eyes just became too heavy. Her head slumped back and her laptop eventually went into sleep mode. The only sound now was her light snoring. Jane still had her glasses on her face. Jane was still in her outfit she wore to work that day.

[thebladesmithmuses]

((I almost forgot Jane has three more asks before she's human again.))

[thebladesmithmuses]

Jane gives his hand a slight squeeze. Her warm smile wasn't there. It was replaced with a forced neutral expression. She wanted to appear calm, despite being angry and anxious herself. Jane would stay there as long as Elijah needed her to.

He doesn't say anything. He just reaches over and takes Jane's hand. The weight of it in his is enough to ground him for the moment. He'll let his brother deal with Thomas.

[thebladesmithmuses]

Duck has found a nice spot to bask in. It was warm, it was cozy, and above all it was safe. His eyes were closed and he stretched out as much as he could. He opened wide as he yawned the widest his mouth could go before he flopped over. He gave a stretch, and became comfortable once again.

[thebladesmithmuses]

Jane is going to stand with Elijah. She doesn't need to ask the obvious question. He wasn't alright and even she knew that. She's quiet for a moment before she looks at him. "What can I do for you, hun?"

He is incredibly pissed off, upset, and trying not to have a panic attack. He wants to join in, to attack that horrific man, but even after all this time he's still not ready to face Thomas for what he did to him and his mother.

[thebladesmithmuses]

"Get him, hun! Fuck him up!"
