And now for something completely different

[failgoyle]

Okay, so I've been spending a lot of time in Liminal since every time I go out, I get harassed by wind spirits...

...but I think I just lit upon something really awesome while hiding in the Workshop!

[What follows next is a musical interlude played on computer parts.]

[haremtrap]

Do you have a problem with getting sticky?

[failgoyle]

Out here in Liminal!

Everything's ambrosia salad like Grandma used to make and it is a traumatic flashback to family gatherings out there!

[haremtrap]

Oh. Right. Yeah it's...pretty gross out there right now. I'm not even sure what that shit IS. Some kind of fruity monstrosity.

[failgoyle]

It is the sort of fruity monstrosity only a grandma could love.

[haremtrap]

MY Grandma has better taste than that.

[failgoyle]

I am not even going to stick up for my grandma, man, she was the worst cook ever. Only no one would tell her this.

[haremtrap]

Family can be awkward like that.

[failgoyle]

Tell me about it. Mine was...I guess dysfunctional's a good way to put it?

...I wonder how they're doing now. I haven't seen them in a long time.

[haremtrap]

Sounds...

[like a polite way of saying totally fucked up.]

...rough?

[failgoyle]

...that's a good way of putting it, yeah.

[haremtrap]

This is starting to get weirdly personal for a conversation that started with singing floppy drives, so, uh...

Good job dude.

[failgoyle]

That. Uh...that's probably some kind of record, yeah...

[Kind of depressing. Curse you, Winter Court tendencies.]

...I could make them play something else?

[haremtrap]

Sorry, I meant good job with the floppy drives. No sarcasm.

But yeah make them play more songs.

[failgoyle]

Oh, sure, sure, let's see...

[He fiddles with something else, and a different song starts playing.]

[haremtrap]

Okay wait.

This sounds familiar...

Oh shit this is that one stupid Korean song that was really big a while back!

[failgoyle]

Yes!

Yes, it is.

...Maria likes it, so I figured I'd get this one programmed, too.

Papa once showed the network me dancing to it! It was before he was my papa. He adopted me after Newport.

[In the sense that he'd been her papa in Newport and then afterward she'd still treated him like her papa and called him that and he hadn't stopped her. But you know. It wasn't like she'd had a father before.]

[haremtrap]

That sounds distressingly adorable.

[failgoyle]

I guess it is?

[He is just trying to do good with this whole sudden dad thing.]

[happyhalloween]

Of course it is!

[Honestly, he's a way better papa than Rosa was a mama.]
