So I took the twins to the library to do some Aztecs research and got a couple books. Are we meeting at Starbucks next or did any of you want to come to my house? My dad is gonna be stuck at work late all week but my mom might be around and she does lipread but if we tell her we're working on a creative writing project or something I think it'll be ok.
Sadie will you pass this to David and then David can you pass it to Sonia?
( she'd murder the twins to ensure she could hang out with david later. that sounds like friend time. the map part sounds like pure torture, but that's a small price to pay for friends ok. )
Definitely, yep. I can meet you at the circle after last period?
( she is a little later than she wanted because she got distracted. but when she sees him she's so loud and oblivious to how cringe her whole deal is, and tries to wave but fails because she's holding something between her carefully clasped hands.
both of them raise into the air like she's receiving old timey congratulations. )
I brought a friend! She's huge, so I think she is gonna have babies soon. Can you get the jar outta my backpack for me?
( the backpack meadow has taken to shoving as much as possible into in case she somehow gets DOUBLE everworlded. sonia probably had to help her lie to the school admin to be allowed to carry this giant thing everywhere. she spins around to give him the zipper side, and there's a big ass mason jar in a pocket there, somewhere, lined with grass and leaves and big holes in the top. )
[David will not argue, he'll just do as she says, but there's furrowing brows of concern as he fetches the jar out of her bag and starts to unscrew the top and hold it out to her.]
( very carefully, meadow moves her cupped hands to the jar like she's done this a thousand times, opening the bottom of her hand as she fits it around the edge so she can drop the momma to be inside.
nothing happens. )
Oh, come on you beautiful stubborn freak. You can't lay your eggs at school those janitors, except Nancy, are fascists and the administration loves to give exterminators money...
I have soccer practice M/W and games T/Th and I work W-Sun so I'm afraid my schedule is what we will have to plan around ☹️
We could rotate places too so you're not the one dealing with visitors all the time! My Aunt and Uncle are really cool and we can always hang out at my parents house.
That sounds like it might be easiest, honestly. Do your parents work a lot? Mine are around, just kind of sporadic. (Yes I am practicing my SAT words, sorry.)
If I bring the twins they might be equivalent to a rager. But also I can just lock them in the station wagon and see who survives when we're done.
Oh, my mom is on a board. I think it's a professor thing though.
Kinda? The program they were in to learn last summer got canceled, and the community pool isn't exactly conducive to getting them to focus up and learn.
My parents? Probably not. That would require them both being home or actually giving a shit about my life for longer than two minutes.
[Even written on a piece of paper it doesn't seem angry, though Meadow has likely seen to the contrary that Sonia has rage in spades. But it's more resigned, that this is just the way her life is.]
Well, we're all fools at least once. That's shame on her.
Plus, her whole pitch was really vague and mostly innocuous, you know? At no point was she like Hey Meadow when I said I need you to look after everyone I meant from scary Vikings, train-sized snake monsters, cannibal gods, a literal actual dragon, and also sometimes David because I shimmied my hips at him too good.
I mean I'd still have said sure but a little warning would've been nice...
[Senna all but blackmailed her into agreeing - not that it would matter at that point, she was already caught up in the riptide of it all, but apparently for Meadow Senna just said please?????
... Granted if Senna had just said please, Sonia would have said no, but that's neither here nor there.]

[It's one of the few things his dad taught him before he left, and honestly it's a skill everyone should have.]
I'd say it might be useful in Everworld too, but I don't know if they have the same rules.

The city is a jungle, people are mystery and I desperately need help yes please. David, you're a hero for this one.

Do you have trouble with reading the maps?
no subject
( SIGH )
Yeah. Yeah the maps are kind of a challenge for me. Yep.
no subject
[He will totally teach you how to read a map. He understands it's hard but we are pre-Google Maps here in 1999 so the GPS isn't going to talk to you.]
Do you have time after school?
[He does and he doesn't want to be stuck in his own head.]
no subject
Definitely, yep. I can meet you at the circle after last period?
( friends!!!!! )

[And as requested, he will be waiting there, prepared to lead her to his rust bucket as a car.]

Wow you're so busy when do you even breathe?
I definitely wanna meet your Aunt and Uncle. Do they speak Hungarian too and if so can you teach me how to greet them?
no subject
My aunt speaks Hungarian but my uncle doesn't. Hi is szia which sounds just like see ya if you take out the y. See-a!
no subject
Szia! And also see ya. You'll never know if I'm saying hi or bye now~
no subject
It's like aloha like that

Speaking of which I think we're going to try to bribe the twins with pool time at Sonia's. Just for a head's up. Might be a big ol' disaster. )

I could throw a rager every night and they wouldn't even realize it.

Do they know how to swim? I have a pool.

They bite back, so the trick is to shove whatever body part they've latched onto further into their mouths. Works every time.
