Sorry if I caused this research rabbit hole, but also not. That’s really cool.

@loopylin

Oh my. lol.

@koshka  @loopylin

(Sorry loopy, not meaning to leave you in the dust XD)

Rory

He listened with interest. “Are stars the only thing God made?”

@loopylin @ellette-giselle

Leo

The filing cabinet bit into his leg as he sat down.

“What? No. Well…” Now that definitely wasn’t a way he’d ever thought to view the end of the world. He decided to treat this like one of Quincy’s questions…or like Silvia’s many years ago. “I’m guessing they never let you study astronomy. So in the beginning…[Read more]

@koshka  @loopylin

Rory

He stared at Leo. “The stars are on power? Who flips the switch?” He wasn’t surprised at the idea. It just had never crossed his mind.

@loopylin @ellette-giselle

Leo

“Oh. Well, fission is much more than bombs. It’s a relatively clean source of energy as long as nothing goes wrong. Most of the–ahem–my home planet’s energy is run off it. Same thing that God made power the stars.”

@koshka  @loopylin

Rory

He blinked slowly. “We have bombs. Planes drop them. I never knew how they worked. I just pushed the button… or did.” He swallowed and absently tugged at his sleeve, ensuring the burn scar was fully covered.

@ellette-giselle @loopylin

XD

Leo

“From…well, bombs generally. Rockets, missiles, whatever version you like.” He slowly dried his hands off on a paper towel and turned to study the two boys. “Don’t know what fallout is? You kids don’t have nuclear fission back wherever you came from?”

A pair and a half of large questioning eyes stared back…[Read more]

@koshka  @loopylin

Rory

He eyed Dante with a measuring glance. “I haven’t done fallout stuff… or whatever it is.” He left it there, not sure what to say next.

@loopylin @ellette-giselle

*Exhausted sigh*

Leo

“…what I’m doing? Helping clean up a kid. Same job I’ve had since my sister was born.” Leo grinned, then let it fade. The old bandage disappeared into a trashbin. He moved to the sink to wash his hands. “Or did you mean like, with medical stuff? To be honest, I’ve got more expirence with…[Read more]

@loopylin

It depended. When it was a really small group, I think Koshka did. Then Ellette and Hybridlore.

I know I’ve got some emails. I’d only be able to organize calls for the morning, though. (7am-12pm Central Time) That might not really work for most folks.

I was plotting a character’s life story, as one does, and I had the random thought to share a few of her songs. I never remember how many people know about Lucille Barnes so I’m just gonna tag @loopylin @rae

Julep – Punch Brothers

Malasana – Hania Rani and Dobrawa Czocher

Past/Present Suite – Nicholas Britell

Widow – Silksong OST

Movement and…[Read more]

Yeeeessss

@loopylin

Lucille

Lucy snorted. “I’m a country bird, not a city bird. These aren’t very discerning ducks.”

After another long pause, and after she felt confident enough to meet the younger girl in the eye, Lucy got up. She wiped her nose again and began spinning slowly in place to see everywhere. “Have y’seen a fellow, sort of physically l…[Read more]

@loopylin

That would be fun! I’d be up for it.

It would have to be in the morning/afternoon.

@loopylin

I’m in!

@koshka

shut up, you’re making me remember that I haven’t eaten.

And no! Don’t say it! I’m not. I’m just busy writing.

@loopylin

Rory 

He watched Leo with interest. He’d had medical training– enough to hide injuries from the doctors. “Do you know what you’re…” he trailed off, suddenly frightened that he’d said something…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @loopylin

Okay y’all! Tortillas are done and taco meat is cooking.

Leo

What had the kid done to himself? Knowing the chaos this school seemed to generate, Leo decided he didn’t want to know. He quietly took the used bandage so the kid wouldn’t have to move.

And he’d make sure to take out the trash tonight. Best not to leave evidence.

@loopylin

Hopping on in place of Koshka.

Yes, sort of. Different ingredients (most recipes are just variations of the basic flour+water version). We don’t have a press… Or rolling pin… so we get to do it the old way. XD

@loopylin thank you! 🫶🏻🥹 aww thanks haha I love her hair too.
