Oh really?
Why?
That seems like a weird thing to teach kids!

[burndownforwhat]

Is it? I'm going to make it big in volleyball someday. There's all kinds of child actors and models and stuff out there, and I'm not under *that* kind of pressure.

Besides, if people are going to notice me for something, like I said, it might as well be what I can do instead of what they think I can't. And by that I mean the missing arm.

[chaoticwhimsy]

I guess.

soooooooo
I didn't know there was a big calling for one armed volleyball players?

[Damn it luna.]

[burndownforwhat]

[ it's fine, Jen's used to this stuff by now. ]

Haha, there's not many of us but we hold our own. It just makes us more special. ;)

Of course I have an advanced mechanical arm to make up the difference. The jury is still out on if they'll let me actually compete with it though.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Oooh, fancy.
So you went from can't play cause one arm to can't play cause too much arm! Whoops!

How fancy is it?

[burndownforwhat]

[ okay THAT is a new one on her. it takes her a moment to compose a reply. ]

I could always play. But now it's less embarrassing for the losing team.

See for yourself.

[ Jen links an image from her instagram part of a collage of her "flexing" her yellow-and-black painted mechanical arm, close-ups of the smooth doll joints, and so on. it's right before a picture taken at a bar with one of those grip strength tests and she has maxed out the meter (much to the surprise of some burly guy behind her). ]

[chaoticwhimsy]

[Luna is an S-rank troll.]

Ooh that is fancy! I've never seen an arm like that before. Is it from retrospec?

I like your hair, too!

[burndownforwhat]

Thanks!

Both are from Retrospec, actually. It took some getting used to overall.

Did you get back anything from them?

[ the freakout about her purple eyes was especially dramatic. ]

[chaoticwhimsy]

I got some powers and some clothes and my hair changed color.

[After a few seconds, a selfie comes through of Luna sitting on the floor in her mom's living room, grinning, with her rose-colored hair. There's a monster dog lounging behind her, which she is apparently leaning against. The animal is side-eyeing the camera with that resignation only a modern pet can have.]

Oh and him.

[burndownforwhat]

Oh, cute! I really like that color.

And that's one spiky. Um. Dog?

Okay I'm sorry but what *is* that?

[chaoticwhimsy]

He's a dinosaur!
Or a monster dog, IDK.

He has the same kind of name as a dinosaur though, I looked it up.
Gorgonopsid

[burndownforwhat]

Gorgon is some mythical snake thing, right? I'd go with dinosaur honestly.

He looks massive. Is he like, pitbull big? Or great dane big?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Plus dinosaurs are much cooler.

mmmmm kinda between them?
He's like four feet tall.

[burndownforwhat]

That's impressive.

He looks like he eats a lot, too.

My corgi, Zwei, is the opposite of all that by a lot. Different worlds, different standards for pets I guess?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Oh he does!
I usually just let him hunt stuff.

Probably!

I'm pretty sure this guy is just considered a monster, even where my memories come from.
But I like him anyway.

[burndownforwhat]

What does he like to hunt? Rodents? Birds? Fish?

[ please don't say other pets, please don't say other pets... ]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Birds and rodents.

I finally got him to stop eating stray cats!

[burndownforwhat]

Haha that's a good joke...

[chaoticwhimsy]

I wish.
He brought me home one once!
Bits of one.
It was really gross.

[burndownforwhat]

[ good lord. ]

Gross gross gross gross gross

I really hope he's stopped that for good. For the neighborhood's sake.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Me too!
Plus, I mean, I stopped hiding my cat from him.

They kinda get along?

[burndownforwhat]

That's a big relief, honestly.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Right? Plus Shadow was really relieved when I stopped making her hide in my backpack all the time.

Oh oh. Look!

[Attached is a picture of her monster dog lounging on the bed, and stretched out across his back as if he were a sofa is a adolescent black cat. She has one eye opened and is not thrilled with Luna taking the picture.]

[burndownforwhat]

[ that seems par for the course with cats. it makes the cat look actually more disgruntled than the potentially-more-dangerous monster pup. ]

Aw, that actually looks sweet!

[chaoticwhimsy]

I think he puts up with it cause I kept bopping him on the nose when he'd shake her off!
And I got her to stop using her claws...

I mean.
They didn't really do much, his skin is like leather!
But still.
