[Richie is on camera looking oddly well-rested, all considered. He waves.]

So! Did you all have fun? I swear, I feel like we all just need to get on the train together when the weather goes south. Or lock ourselves in rooms? Whatever. Glad no one is dead! Also glad those weird animal things are gone. Fucked up shit...

[He sighs and rubs his hand over his face.]

So. Listen: I would normally say let's have a group therapy session right about now, but I don't think we need to deplete Cayde's reserves. Also there's like...too many children around right now? Like, seriously. And, unrelated, but should we have a school or something?

Whatever. Another time.

Right now, I just think everyone needs to have some 'Treat Yo Self' time. Whatever that means for you, just seriously. Crap has been wild and there's a shit ton that needs to still get done. But, you know...we survived another storm. And a volcano. And a lot of other shit. So take some time to chill out. And if you need help on how to properly do nothing, I'm your guy.

Professional bum, right here. My special talents are getting the limelight, finally.

You're sure you don't want someone who maybe finished college? Or doesn't curse every other fucking second? I know we don't have kids with parents of the year but there has to be better role models.

You think we've got many people here who fit those bills, Richie? Because I don't. Bad enough that I need to try and figure out how to convince your boy toy to handle math.

[mrsklover]

Wow. Your case isn't going to be helped if I tell him you called him that. I would have thought he'd love the opportunity to have something else to do.

[ziedrich_bearer]

If he can't be pleased to be your boy toy and a math man, that's his problem.

Having trouble getting in touch with him.

[mrsklover]

I think that was a compliment? So thanks?

Let me talk to him. I don't know that I will get anywhere, but I will at least give it a shot. For the children or whatever.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Definite a compliment, big man.

Thanks though. We could use some work here.

[mrsklover]

I'll let you know when I have him convinced. When is the first day of school? That will let me know how much time I have to butter him up.

[ziedrich_bearer]

We can't even begin to plan that until we have people lined up to teach.

[mrsklover]

So I have time! Great. I'll work on him, Glads. Or should I say 'Dads' with the kids you're scooping up and caring for?

[ziedrich_bearer]

Dads, really? What?

[Daddio is a better term anyway.]

[mrsklover]

[Yeah. He's figuring that out...]

Dads! Or Daddio. Oh, shit. Dude. Daddio! That's it. That's your name now. Embrace it. I'm getting you another shirt.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Damn.

[He can't deny that Daddio sounds GOOD and RIGHT. Fucking hell, Richie, why do you have to be right?]

Just make sure it looks good.

Thread wrap?

[mrsklover]

[ Richie shoots him finger guns ]

Got it, big guy. Talk to you later, Daddio! Make sure to tell Noctis he's gonna be a parent!

Re: Thread wrap?

[ziedrich_bearer]

Make it a tank top and I'll wear it. And I guess I should talk to him about it, yeah.
