oh geez
alright ill give it a try
i hope theyll let her on the bus

[totallynotanoni]

That must have been quite startling.
Since your still messaging I guess that means she isn't exactly dangerous.

[thesettingsun]

That's a good question. Maybe they had writer's block at some point but managed to push through it and finish the book?

[cornets]

If that's the case it looks like she had other ideas

[livingdeadgirl]

no i got that part
i am trying to determine how you know that
i did not take you for a member of the fancy xenobiologists society

[parodeity]

i will have you know i am the absolute fanciest xenobiologist
top hat and everything

[anguinous]

[ Yes he's well aware. ]

If you just met this creature how can you be sure?

[livingdeadgirl]

all right you are fancy
ill grant you that
but i challenge your xenobiology credentials, sir!
why, i doubt you've so much as touched your toe to another planet!

[parodeity]

i was literally in space last month

[livingdeadgirl]

oh yeah

[... welp i guess we can add "reverse psychology" to the list of things Ami isn't good at.]

besides that though

[parodeity]

im pretty sure befriending a sphinx and beating coyotes at poker gives me rad xenobiology cred

[livingdeadgirl]

because i remember her
and not from the game like the imps and the ogres
she is the closest thing my past self had to a mother

[livingdeadgirl]

those arent aliens
theyre mythological
and also regular earth animals in the case of coyotes

[ He starts to type a question along the lines of 'how is the goat dog your mother' before deciding.

Just.

That he does not wish to know. ]

Well you mentioned nothing of that. Only that you did not know what it is. You remember her but not what she is?

[lalliho]

albino karakul

[sage nod]

[livingdeadgirl]

i remembered a little more while i was talking to people
shes called a lusus

[and i love her goes unsaid, partly because the suddenness of that connection scares her a bit.]

[livingdeadgirl]

whats a karakul

[livingdeadgirl]

what do you mean

[livingdeadgirl]

yes and yes
that is yes i was startled
and yes shes not dangerous
shes very sweet as a matter of fact

i have no idea when any of these subthreads take place relative to each other OH WELL

[livingdeadgirl]

no shes not a monster
this is going to sound crazy but
im pretty sure she raised my past self

[lalliho]

I guess it's a kind of sheep but I like the lfxiv monster better

here

[livingdeadgirl]

no!
im going to school and thats final!

[this conversation feels backwards somehow.]

[cornets]

She ran away and started following you instead?

[He doesn't know how to check profiles yet, smh]

[livingdeadgirl]

it has to be *because* she's my past self's mom
you're relatively new to Retrospec right Sakura?
like just this month?

[livingdeadgirl]

i suppose so
but they didnt even bother to dress it up in symbolism by the sound of it
i mean the fact that its a sheep could symbolize something but why do that and not change the name

what book was it?
