Six Christmas Giant Socks

[grimmdark]

A. Phone, unfiltered. Morning.

Some might have noticed this already, but I am returned to Mayfield a week or so after the events that shook the town in ways that go beyond the literal. Should I assume that everybody remains the same? Or have we lost new members of this fine society on the cruel grasp of droning?

I certainly hope we haven't.

Comments

A, but action. Also I somehow did not have you friend added. /faaaaaaail

[pinkscarflady]

Ah, I was wondering when you'd see fit to grace us with your presence again.

[Translation: I was really worried about you being droned for so long.]

Although I must admit that you look positively adorable in a girl scout uniform.

Wow Mom way to go

[grimmdark]

[Rose is going to make an effort just for you Mom, and pretend you didn't mention her on her current attire.]

When the droning is permanent, the subject also loses whatever they had regained over their time on Mayfield. I have just recovered a number of clothes from back home; make sure to heck that next time I'm gone.

Have I missed anything?

Best Mom ever....

[pinkscarflady]

Good to know. I suppose the whole town will know if I should happen to leave.

[fyi, Mom has recently gotten back her observatory, which has been added as an extra story to their house.]

Nothing particularly exciting. Although you may be interested to know that there's been an ongoing discussion of potential decorating motifs for the house.

[Wizards and harlequins. They have the best taste.]

[grimmdark]

[Well, that's a new one. Cool.]

The less I know, the less I will suffer when the unavoidable comes.

[pinkscarflady]

Oh? Are you quite certain you don't wish to offer an opinion before it's too late?

We were already planning a little outing to purchase various knicknacks.

[grimmdark]

I really don't want to know.

This is the kind of thing you would usually inquire with John, not me. If it were on my power, things would be quite different.

[And darker. But alas.]

But alas, I will endure.

[pinkscarflady]

If you're sure.

[Hint of a smile. Oh now she just has to pick the most ridiculous stuff she can find. Just to see if she can make Rose regret that decision.]

But we must do something to liven up the decor. At least until the town sees fit to send me my collection of artistic wizard statues.

[grimmdark]

[No need, she's already regretting it.]

Oh that is one specific regain I hope the town never returns to you.

[And whispering a 'please' for good measure.]

[pinkscarflady]

And here I've been looking forward to displaying Zazzerpan on the front lawn.

I daresay we'd be the only house in town such impressive lawn ornamentation.

[grimmdark]

I know you would say something like that. This being your house, too, means you are free to locate whatever piece of so called art wherever you want, as long as it doesn't prove detrimental to the free traffic of the other house members.

Such level of singularity might come as a drawback.

[pinkscarflady]

Actually I intend for him to sit next to the driveway.

[That way they can put the giant harlequin statue they plan to commission on the other side of the driveway.]

Oh? How so?
