quarante-quatre ° dictated

[signedlefthanded]

I should like to announce my sister Sunny has arrived. [For those that know her, it's a big deal.] She's two and usually has a ribbon in her hair. She's very independent, but she's still learning to speak.

While I'm very good at taking care of her, I'm going to need some things. [Things she can actually afford. She hopes her parents are proud of her.] Dresses and the like. Sunny can keep herself occupied. She's a very good cook actually, and very intelligent.

She does have sharp teeth though. So I would beware.

[Her face LIGHTS up at this idea! Oh to be able to cook properly and expand her repertoire of recipes. This is the best thing ever!!]

Saute ["I would very much like to learn how to cook better. I've found that I enjoy it almost as much as biting things."]

[signedlefthanded]

Then we'll see what I can do. [She smiles again and puts a cleaned block in front of her.]

The castle will supply most of those, won't it? Any time I need a basic supply or something minor, it suddenly shows up somewhere.

[signedlefthanded]

Wait til you're hit with a loss. I only spoke in code once. And another time, only I could see blood on my hands.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I'm glad you've got each other here.

[signedlefthanded]

I am, too. It's the first time one of my family has shown up.

[signedlefthanded]

I don't live in the castle, and I prefer not to wish for things.

[dorkwonder]

How expensive or I guess inexpensive is it to live in the town?

Dictated.

[signedlefthanded]

I think if you have some sort of income, then you're good. I own the upstairs and downstairs next door if you're ever interested.

Dictated.

[dorkwonder]

I definitely am. As cool as this place is, it also gives me the creeps with the way it alters everything.

[Plus, he likes his privacy.]

I-- had a really bad time with it my first few months here. What it did to me? I moved out and lived with a friend until he left. By that time I had a good amount of actual money stored up from fixing things for people in town or just building things. I bought the property and have a shop, and an apartment.

[dorkwonder]

[Whistles.] That's really impressive. I'm sorry you had to go through whatever it is you went through. I'm glad your sister won't have to deal with all the craziness that you had to deal with.

Dictated.

[signedlefthanded]

I'm just glad I'm able to be here and look out for her.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

That's been a long time for you to be alone. [Hear that concern there?]

[quadro_dent]

[Sunny grins and picks up the block. Violet why are you just the best sister in the world? Not that she's really questioning it. Or complaining.]

Gasplun. [Which means "I'm so happy you're here with me. It's nice here." Chomp. Her four sharp teeth cut into that block and she gnaws happily on it.]

[signedlefthanded]

I haven't been. Not really. There have been enough people here to care and look out for me.

[signedlefthanded]

[She gives a small laugh and sits on the toy, picking up something to tinker with.]

It's not always easy here, but there's no villains. It's a relief, really.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

That's something I can say for this place. You mostly look out for one another.

[signedlefthanded]

You end up getting close to people. You have to.

[theabjectauthor]

... Blood?! [he sounds absolutely horrified, and with good reason] But Violet, that's terrible!

[signedlefthanded]

Worst part was I couldn't remember Dewey's death.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Being trapped in a magical castle out to gett you probably brings that out in people, yeah.

[signedlefthanded]

It seems it does. Do you have anybody here?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

No one from home yet, no.

[signedlefthanded]

Well I'm Violet, and you've met Sunny. If you ever want company, we live in the town.
