[Voice] Good families?

[unseenspy]

So, how many of you were actually pleased with the families you had during this experiment?

[Jay's family of otters beats Bowser's family any day of the week. Later that day, Jay decides to head to the clothing shop. Feel free to catch him browsing at the shoes.]

I have to admit, while we were certainly an odd family, I rather enjoyed the time we spent together.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Well, you were pleasant enough to be with, but...to have him as a father...

[Shiverrrrr...]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

[To have him as a husband and father of your children is more disturbing, Jay, but Gelda will keep that remark to herself.]

I'm sure there are worse fathers to have. Bowser's behavior was more bark than bite.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

That is certainly true.

[While Jay is actually more bite than bark.]

I enjoyed it. It was nice to have a family for a short time, especially since none of my siblings were rowdy or obnoxious.

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Weren't you the lucky one.

[Not that any of his "siblings" had been a serious problem. But that father of theirs, ugh...]

[Voice]

[redhairedknight.livejournal.com]

I take it you had to deal with a bunch of annoying brats, then?

Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Just one, who was enough to overshadow everyone else.

I had a wonderful family. I have to admit I was envious of people that had wives and children, though.

[video]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I see. But there's no need to be jealous. Being single is far more advantageous.

[video]

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

You're probably right about that. It just... didn't feel that way.

[video]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Did you happen to be someone's...child?

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Family?

I didn't get to have one... Was that another experiment? I remember this one... And the last one because I think I left a note for myself. Somebody did.

But... Why was I left out, Jay?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't worry about why you were left out. Just consider yourself lucky.

[And consider him very jealous.]

[blinkingusalong.livejournal.com]

Lucky? But I didn't get to play with everyone...

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's plenty of time for that. Who says you need an experiment to play with people?

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Were you... one of Gelda's sons?

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Yes. Do you know her?

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

I was her cousin, though I guess it doesn't matter much anymore.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I liked my family. [Grune, you like everything.]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh, Grune...you always loved everything.

[lostinmyway]

Oh...that's right. Oh well.

[Action] Monday, Tuesday. Same difference.

[Exhibit A: oddly dressed Ferines (top and right, without dolphin rod but with leggings/arm warmers rather than bare limbs). She is searching through the clothes.

Given that Jay is a ninja and she very much is not? In this roll for initiative, Jay is definitely going to notice Fenimore before Fenimore's ever going to notice him. But if he ignores her, she'll talk to him anyway once she does.]

[Action]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

[Jay does feel her presence as he's digging through the shoes, and he straightens himself.]

Fenimore?

[He's not sure what he's going to say, but he is rather surprised to see her here.]

[Action]

[blessingone]

[She looks up and, catching sight of him, looks surprised.]

Hey, you're that [hesitation] guy who travels with Senel, right? When did you get here?

[Because she's just that bad at recognizing people over the journals, sob. Though, in her defence, he never spoke to her much in the game.]
