Sleepovers are always fun, and being the "cool mom" around school, they're frequently under Ali's watchful eye. (Not to say that Sasha isn't a cool mom, or doesn't help: being so quiet and demure, she doesn't draw the attention of the ten-and-under set the way a loud and playful Ali does.) Having found Morty safe haven at a friend's house for the ( Read more... )

Ali wandered down the hallway, tucking the last stray wisps of hair back with a pin in a vain attempt to keep it all contained for more than five minutes. She was headed for the nursery, where she could hear Namor and Alured playing. From the sounds of things, they were having a lot of fun. With the thick carpeting muffling her footfalls, there ( Read more... )

Providing for her family has always been important to Ali. She'd thought once she was doing a good job of that: her children wanted for nothing that could be found in mortal lands (and a few supernatural ones, too). They had all the toys they could desire, encouragement to explore the world, time enough for their hobbies, and a family that would ( Read more... )

I found a particularly scared woman in the Nexus this morning, Yuriko. I hope she feels better soon.

I have an appointment with Doctor MacTaggart this afternoon. I know I shouldn't be so nervous but...I really don't like doctors.

Marie's having trouble with an alternate, on top of everything else. Poor girl. As if she didn't have enough ( Read more... )

I met a very polite gentleman who was asking about courtesy. This amuses me, since he clearly doesn't need lessons.

Grey and I will be going hunting tomorrow, if all goes as planned. Mortimer, Sasha, are you free for babysitting Iva? We'll probably be gone overnight.

I think I taught Vimes to stop prying. He is, of course, not pleased with ( Read more... )

I...

People got changed into animals. Greed was a dolphin, Ginta was a wolf puppy, Vash was a ferret, and Mortimer was a lion.

Grey asked about why people help strangers. I think I got off too easy with my answer somehow.

Clint is an idiot. How can someone not notice being shot with an arrow ( Read more... )

Good day today. Very good. Good week, even.

Even if D, Evan, and de Carabas all got hurt. And I think I might have seen another member of the Count's family...I'm sure he'll tell me what's going on when he has a chance. And some rather disturbing acquaintances of de Carabas' showed up. I don't think they like me.

I can't imagine why ( Read more... )

My dress for court was delivered. I love Regency dresses. They're so pretty.

I made a big batch of venison chili, and started some jerky. There's still lots left, and I have no idea what to do with it. Casey has offered to deal with it, but I think it'd be too much even for him... I think we'll need to get a big storage freezer for things if ( Read more... )

Ali waits for Ginta near the portal to their (soon to be) hunting grounds, dressed in faded jeans and a worn-in leather jacket, care-faced but no less lovely for that. The portal is one of those loosely-defined ones, a gradual blending of one place to the next marked by wide tunnel only a few steps in length. On the other side a sunny day awaits ( Read more... )
