Quest 278
I've heard it mentioned, you know, that today is Father's Day, along with being the second day of all the visitors stopping by to pay a call.
It does all line up rather neatly that way, doesn't it? We spent a whole week popping around to other worlds and acting like visitors ourselves, and now we're back here where we started and it's our turn to play the hosts instead. Though I imagine that even our poorest reception is still better than some of the other ones extended in the past few days.
I think everyone always wants to see the people they know and miss on days like this, and I'm certainly no exception. But at the same time...well, if they don't come, then I hope that's a sign that they're happy where they are, and free, and doing well. I think I could take that as ample consolation.
...But Daddy, if you're here, this is your day! It's meant just for you. And there's nothing I'd like more than to spend it with you.
[Canonically, she's from just after the end of Perils of Rosella, and with some very disjointed and vague knowledge of Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder. If something comes up that I don't want her to know, I'll just have her forget it, so have a party--anything goes! HIT HER WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT. Troll, threadjack, have a ball!
And of course, I am totally okay with backdating. ♥]
