[there's a pause here.]

now that you mention it
the idea of *not* keeping her never once crossed my mind
its weird, but i feel like

2/2

[livingdeadgirl]

[OHP there goes the regain.]

oh
oh dear
i think
shes my mom

[imaginex]

[This is not the plot twist Sakura was waiting for]






Oh.

Well ... she's very pretty?

[livingdeadgirl]

do you think thatd work?
the service animal thing i mean
i feel like people would know i dont actually need one

but
i dont think i can leave her home
at least not today
the bus will be here any minute
she doesnt know the way home

[livingdeadgirl]

[HOMESTUCK'D!]

thank you




wait no thats not important right now
what the heck
she cant be my mom
i already have a perfectly good mom
and anyway it is biologically impossible! O_O

[sorry hope you dont mind her talking this out for a sec...]

[livingdeadgirl]

... huh
youre welcome i guess?
why was it named that

[thesettingsun]

It was a monster inside a book, maybe it's literally writer's block? Somehow??

[imaginex]

[Nope this is fine, Sakura's still running on automatic shock anyway]

Yeah true. No matter what, you already have a mother.

So maybe this is... um, does this have to do with those memories and past lives everyone was talking about?

[livingdeadgirl]

an alien
a species called trolls specifically
(dont ask me i didnt name them!)
but yeah that is a distinct possibility
considering a kid at the bus stop already mistook her for a dog

thanks though!
to be honest they may be right about that
id been feeling pretty ":S" about everything lately
but with her here i feel ... safe
as if ive known her for a long time

[windeity]

[Luckily (?) for Ami, John already knows this thanks to a certain Strider. But you know what let's just avoid talking about it.]

i would say that being an alien would be pretty sweet, but i have never been one so i actually do not know!
but if it gets you weird space-pets then maybe it is an ok thing to be.

people feel attachments to the things that are delivered through the mail and stuff, aren't they?
if she was your pet or companion or whatever in your old life then that would explain.
even if you don't remember here, do you think maybe she remembers you?

[redarm]

i dunno?
its worth a shot i mean
what else are you gonna do with her today?

[livingdeadgirl]

yeah
yeah
of course
i got mixed up for a second

[it's the first vision that she's had in a while, and the vividness of the emotions caught her off guard. trolls sure are weird!]

it's not me that she raised.
it's my past self.
this is Aradia's mom.

although uh
it is a pretty safe bet she was adopted haha

[imaginex]

Yeah, definitely adopted. Not that that's a bad thing or anything! She seems very sweet from the pictures...

But um, I'm just confused as to why she's here? If she was your past self's mom.

[cornets]

She's cute!! Did you put the bow on her?

[commandertoolbelt]

kangaroo goat?
kangoat?
goataroo?

[livingdeadgirl]

[laurent you... you do realize what that extrapolates to, right?]

don't say things like that!!
she's not a monster like those
she's real!!!
and i am not going to let anyone hurt her!

[livingdeadgirl]

no I was just walking to the bus stop and suddenly there she was following me

[livingdeadgirl]

thanks
i have absolutely no idea what she eats though

[a second later though]

update: she just took a big bite of the grass
so im guessing grass

[livingdeadgirl]

thanks!
shes really sweet as well
i sat down and she came over and put her head in my lap
just like that

[livingdeadgirl]

the rest of her is more kangaroolike
although i dont see a pouch or anything
but i think she hops to get around
at least part of the time

[however, unlike a real kangaroo, she can also move her hind legs independently of each other, and thus walk without putting weight on her tail. (i have learned a lot about kangaroos in the last few days and may or may not be putting this here for my own reference as well)]

[livingdeadgirl]

no she already had it
i think she might be intended as a birthday present
or at least that makes as much sense as anything else!

[livingdeadgirl]

you know one of these days im going to wake up and my whole life will have devolved into a series of terrible portmanteaus

[livingdeadgirl]

unknown
she did eat a dandelion a few minutes ago though
so thats my working hypothesis

1/2

[livingdeadgirl]

(*whoops pretend its not red)

[.......]

actually never mind im gonna keep going with the red if thats ok

2/2

[livingdeadgirl]

how would writers block make it into the book though
isnt writers block by definition antithetical to the creation of books
