Maybe this makes me sound like a terrible human and mother, but as soon as I'm healed up and able to leave Wendy with someone for a few hours, do you want to take a hopper trip somewhere for a short while? Like...a few hours. That short.

Re: text:

That makes you sound like a sane human being. I'm in for a hopper trip, sure. Anywhere specific you'd want to go?

China. I speak mandarin and want to actually try it out.

So, I just got a text from Chris Halliwell. He had some interesting news regarding himself and Wendy.

Re: text:

[pogue]

[He knows Chris if only because the network in general soooo]

And what news is that?

Re: text:

[that_cost]

He's been assigned as her guardian angel...thing. Something called a white-lighter? He's half witch, half white-lighter but still has someone to keep an eye on, apparently that's our kid. Anyway... They protect witches, people with huge destinies, and powerful people. He said that since her parents are both powerful pyrokinetics, it's likely that's why he was assigned to her.

[i_will_you_nothing]

I need you to take over Glitterati. At least for 24 hours at least.

[pogue]

Sure, man, what's going on?

[He can gather 'need some space' but maybe bit more info y'never know]

[i_will_you_nothing]

I just need to get out of New Dodge. Before I lose it.

Video:

[that_cost]

[ It's a short video, only a few minutes long or so, but there's Wendy in her swing with Owen and Noira sitting nearby. Owen seems intent on getting close to Wendy, Noira isn't having it. Noira has made herself the infants bodyguard and when Owen expresses too much curiosity, one paw reaches out very carefully and, not so gently, swats Owen in the head once. Owen takes off and Wendy? Smiles. Big. Brief. But it's a smile. And then the TC turns to Charlie who is also grinning. ]

If you tell me that's gas, I'm kicking you.

[ 1. She doesn't mean it, he can probably feel that from far away, along with all her love for him and 2: Wendy is smiling again in the background, just briefly, as Noira carefully licks the babies hair.]

Tell me that happened. Tell me she smiled, because she's so quick with them that I keep thinking I'm overtired and seeing things.

Re: Video:

[pogue]

[Such happy warm fuzzies at that smile from Wendy definitely!!]

That just tempts me to say that was a gas smile.

[Such teasing]

She smiled, though. And it was a beautiful little smile, too.

Re: Video:

[that_cost]

Rude, Pogue. Don't ruin my dreams.

Come see her smile in person somewhere. Not the house. I haven't cleaned in a few days and it's embarrassing.

My food truck is almost ready to open for business and I was wondering if you could help me with letting the town know.

9/22 (After his run in with Chase)

[i_will_you_nothing]

[We're sure that Caleb's voice is a bit strained no matter which way it's looked at or heard.]

He's back.

Re: 9/22 (After his run in with Chase)

[pogue]

[There's a brief moment of confusion before the click and he frowns]

That's him?

[Because of course he felt the addition of someones Power come into town as well as the flux.]

I was hoping it'd be Tyler or Reid.

[And there's a frustrated sigh]

Re: 9/22 (After his run in with Chase)

[i_will_you_nothing]

Yeah, Pogue, that's him.

[He gives a slight shake of his head]

I was hoping so too. But it's him. Someone I want nothing to do with.

Wendy is going to be one in a couple months and I know exactly nothing about planning birthdays.

audio:

[that_cost]

[ Very...very staticky audio. Which makes hearing what's being said very interesting. It's whispering and whimpering and it's not clear who it is until a name is said. ]


...Wendy...mommy's sorry...had to save you where are you were is Wendy...

[ Now the voice sounds panicked and the voice is accompanied by an electric whine and there's growling of sorts in the background and Charlie's voice is that dangerous calm angry that signifies shit is about to get real. ]

Leave me alone!

[ A whoosh. A growl of her fire. Something screaming in a panic and then silent static... ]

Pogue...must prevent...[ And a whisper: ] I don't want to die.

Re: audio:

[pogue]

[No doubt living Charlie will feel all those emotions that're bubbling up almost instantly.]

What-

[He's been paying enough attention to everything, no doubt]

What the hell happened? How'd this happen?

[ About an hour after ghost!her contacted Pogue. ]

What's wrong? Your emotions were a jumble and woke me up from a nap. Do I need to come to you? What's going on? Who got hurt?

12/25

[callitvoid]

Look: your girlfriend is having a kitsune offspring. It's mine, but I would never have sex with her. Ever. Ever. It was caused by the solar flares. If you yell at her or cause her grief in any way about it, I will destroy your soul and feed it to the child.

I am sorry about it, though. Good luck.

Re: 12/25

[pogue]

Any way you can explain that in more words, maybe?

[As he's already getting to that old state of when he was dating Kate for no rational reason at all]

Can the next kid I have be James? That sounds nice and not at all like something terrifying.


[ She's holding a cup of tea as she speaks and, probably strangely because this is new, her hands are glowing and her nails have elongated some. And her eyes have gone a tad reptilian as she fixes on the tea. ]

I'd also like to be able to eat normally but apparently now it's all rice and fresh space cow meat and fresh blood from the aforementioned alien bovine.

video and then a ton of photographs and then video:

[that_cost]

Video the First:

[ It's a close up of Wendy McGee and she is running from her mother, laughing and giggling as Charlie tries to chase the baby down. There is amusement practically pouring in tidal waves from the two of them, coming in stronger as the animals of Charlie's house run to get out of the way of the shrieking, giggling toddler. And then, there is photo after photo of Wendy accidentally taking selfies. Some of them show just her ear, a few the teeth in her grinning mouth, a couple of her running feet and then three of her finally captured by Mom. Charlie is oblivious to the photos for a moment. Once she realizes what happened, she sends her own, this time with Wendy curled up on her shoulder, happily sucking her thumb. ]

Please tell me we did not accidentally blow up your phone while you're at work.

[callitvoid]

I have left Chōpirako with the scientist.

Have you noticed that Charlie has gone?
