7th sweater: a chocolate moose

[bezazzled]

So Gideon's gone. He's probably back home concocting his next scheme or something. Anyway, if you don't know who he is then consider yourself lucky. He's very charismatic, but once you get to know him he can be kind of a jerk sometimes. I guess I won't be needing bodyguards anymore, too.

But enough about that. I have been reunited with Waddles ever since Christmas, so all right with the world once again.

[There's an audible oink that can be heard over the journal]

Waddles says hi!

Speaking of Christmas, I was kind of unconscious for a while and then stuck somewhere, and also things happened? What I'm trying to say is I lost some valuable knitting time, so Christmas gifts have been delayed for a while now. Who wants to make it an early Valentine's Day present instead?

[Twelve is so not a woman young lady. You go play with Ted now and never grow up ok]

...Are you even serious? So you've been cooking your own meals and everything?

[bezazzled]

Well, sometimes I cheat and wish up food. But come on, you know most of the time there's always someone who made too much food in the kitchen. I eat that, too.

I figured anywhere else it might be weird for a kid to be on her own, but this is a magic castle that caters to your needs so it's kind of like a guardian in a very twisted sense?

[whichwayyoulean]

There is? I wouldn't know. Hermit, remember.

In a really, really really twisted sense because this is a guardian that messes with your head when it gets bor-

No actually exactly like a real parent, what was I thinking.

If it makes you feel better, I can check in with you every now and then? Just to make sure you know I'm still alive and kicking and I'm not malnourished or anything.

[whichwayyoulean]

That does make me feel better, actually. Because no one wants starving kids running about the place.

...Or crawling? Whatever malnourished kids do.

[bezazzled]

I think malnourished kids just stand around looking sad. That's what they show on TV anyway. But don't worry, that won't be me, and to make sure that you know, I'll check in ever week.

[Hmm...]

Is weekly enough? Or should it be more frequent?

[whichwayyoulean]

I think I can work with weekly, any more and I'd just be clingy.

[There's a little bit of shuffling and writing]

Okay! I put a post-it note on my calendar. "Check in with the hermit."

[whichwayyoulean]

There's a good girl.
