shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

Okay, I am getting the feeling you are mad at me.

 

Don't do this again. There is a reason why circuit boosters are illegal.

 

I'd never do it if I were awake!

 

Really? Then why bother doing it in a dream? If it's realistic, you'll want it when you're awake, and if it's a fantasy, then you might as well imagine something that won't kill you.

 

...chemical addiction doesn't work that way, right?

 

I don't know. I don't care. Don't do it again. Please.

 

...okay. Sorry for making you worry. Want to have infusions with me and Whisperwind?

 

[He gives her a long look, and then nods slightly.]

I would. Thank you.

 

-still looks a bit confused by all the fuss-
I´ll try some, this actually look worth while.

 

-Lacuna makes a chair next to her for Burlesque.-

 

[Whisper summons up a tea service, complete with pre-poured cubes in various pastel shades.] Please do c:

 

-takes a cube between two fingers, sniffs, sips- Hm, nice. -sits very carefully, like he´s afraid he´ll break things-

 

Thank you, Whisperwind.

[He sits gracefully and lifts a cube in salute.]

 

-Lacuna grabs a cube.-

To friendship!

 

"Please tell them that there's a foundation established to help with travel expenses. I know it's expensive to get off ai-Talas these days, and if they've managed to survive at all they've probably managed to incur some obligations along the way. We can't always get people home, but we can get them to safe houses so that they can be assimilated into society here." Valiska sighs. "We actually ended up taking a lot of people in as part of our pride, but we...can't really do that with people we don't know at all. The people in our household are mostly people who helped us put an end to that mess, or kitlings we picked up along the way. There are a lot of kitlings in our household now. So many I couldn't possibly be the guardian of all of them, but there are fortunately many adults in our family as well."

 

Ah! Is that why your pride less Talassani than usual? -she's perked back up with the joy of having put pieces together- I'll contact my pride when I wake up- they may have picked up stragglers. I hope they picked up anyone who was displaced in the desert at least. Not many who could.

 

I'm part of Valiska's tribe, and I'm not Talassani.

 

Yeah! She mentioned her pride was less Talassani than we might expect! It just makes sense now that she said she was taking in people who appeared.

 

"People who helped us," Valiska says, "and kitlings." She smiles. "Not everyone, there were far too many for that--but we have a foundation set up. You know I wouldn't name an adult as my pride-kith unless I trusted them, and had an idea that they understood what it means."

 

Wait, there's more people?
