eh, same old, same old. probably bombs. definitely bombs. i was thinking about giving etraya a make over, so i'm thinking massive paintbombs! pink! blue! teal!
she's a kid, vander, and she didn't really have a normal life. you know, at all. if she tells you she tells you. but you know, you don't have to ADOPT ADOPT her but. tell her your janna stories, make the funny voices you used to. put her own your shoulders, take her to the arcade. little girl dad stuff you used to do with me. she needs it
Painting the town then. It is a bit drab here, I will agree with you there. You know, I haven't seen your bombs in action, just on the trial and error that you used to do in the basement. I'd like a show so I can gloat how brilliant my daughter is.
So don't adopt her but do all the fatherly things with her involved in parenting, huh? Do I get a name to go with all of this nudging from you? And fair warning, not sure I have all of that in me currently.
you haven't seen chompers in action? really? okay. we gotta find somewhere tall to throw bombs down below and THEN you'll get how much fun it is how's that sound AND IT HAS TO ECHO for extra KABOOM
laura. her name's laura. i'll go with you too, so think of it as a bonding exercise. i'd do it my damn self but i lack the beard and the size that makes it dad-like
No, last one was Whiskers and it was a smoke bomb I seem to recall. Or was that one filled with nails? Either way. You tell me the time and place and I'll be there.
[He was pointedly not talking about the monkey bomb.]
I think that's the little girl that lives with Accelerator. Likes horses apparently. It is starting to sound like you want the same bonding experience, but are using a child to create the situation where you can. You realize that your other dad is half my size, no beard but still a dad, right?
HAH listen to yourself, vander. you're the one who wants to recreate situations left and right. did we forget the train or how you're here asking me about stuff like i'm 12?
i just want to do something nice for her.
and yes, VANDER. i KNOW. he is my dad, and that was a joke.
Yeah well, it's been tough and I'm still processing Mylo, Claggor, and everything that happened at the cannery. Seeing you so grown is also something I'm adapting to. Apologies if that blows the hair at the back of your neck up.
Just sayin'. Dads come in all shapes and sizes and monologue levels.

Date: 2025-04-22 12:46 pm (UTC)... you'd do good. did a pretty good job with me.
(The joys of growing and taking care of a child herself, knowing her dads did what they could. Ugh, growth, absurd.)
