It's EXTREMELY weird.

But I suppose in some ways I'd rather have Aelwyn as my mum than a complete stranger.

[tinflower]

at least a complete stranger wouldn't be your real mum

[furiousfists]

That's true. Any parent would be better than her.

[stresstokens]

Does that mean they assigned Aelwyn a spouse too? Or two? My assigned 'family' has the whole poly thing going on.

[furiousfists]

[ Adaine is going to ignore the way that the mention of poly parents tugs at a Jawbone-shaped hole in her heart. ]

Just one spouse. It's Mal, actually.

[stresstokens]

Oh, that's not too bad. Mal seems nice. She's the one with the cool gun. As long as her and Aelwyn get along okay, things should go pretty smoothly.

[furiousfists]

I'm not sure how they're getting on, really. It's a weird vibe in the house, regardless, and I've been spending most of my time shut up in my room, if I'm honest.

How are your "parents?"

[stresstokens]

That's fair. I feel like that's gotta be the case for most of us. It's just a weird scene.

My "parents" are fine? They're fine. They're all really nice, and everyone's getting along okay. It's just weird how normal it is, you know?

[furiousfists]

It IS weird how normal it is. I keep waiting for things to stop being normal. Surely this suburban play acting can't be all that Eos has in mind for us?

[stresstokens]

Not a chance. Or they just want like

A terrarium of people? It's all very weird. I don't think I've ever actually seen a family as normal as they want us to seem in real life.

[ Gorgug comes closest, adoption aside. Adoption isn't that weird. Still. ]

I think it's wigging everyone out, honestly. They seem super stressed about the creepy robot baby. Who I'm not a fan of, for the record.
