And here we have the obligatory "How's my driving?" post! I'd like to know how I'm doing with playing Tear, so do me a favor and let me know if I'm doin' just fine with her, or if I need to work on something, or ... yeah, you know the drill. xD Just don't come in here sayin' "OMG U SUCK LOLOLOL" and expect me to take it kindly. Give me a reason as to why I suck, and I may consider your words.

[she's making dinner in the kitchen for the family, since you know, she's actually pretty okay with cooking, and all of a sudden she starts humming to herself.

... and then that humming becomes soft singing.

and slowly, as she loses herself in the song, she starts singing louder. does she realize this? no.]



[do feel free to tell her how lovely her singing voice is. or ask about the song.]

... Luke. We seem to be one child less.

I certainly hope he's safer ... with his version of us.

The word on the street is that Tetha isn't exactly a tamer-friendly place at the moment. I haven't kept too updated with the news, as I've been quite busy between being a part-time wedding planner and a full-time mother, but if this is true, it would appear Luke and I need to find another place for our wedding.

... which, admittedly, should have happened about half a year ago. Isn't it wonderful, how real-life issues can get in the way of important things?

That said, it might be a good idea to get a few suggestions on places to hold the wedding. My husband to be and I would be grateful if we could have a few suggestions on the subject.

Thank you.

Tear? Teeear. What's wrong?

I'm hot. [sighs]


( ooc: she means the heat wave, btw. ;D feel free to tell her how hot she really is. )

Brother ...

How have you been recently?

( ooc: D: Sorry, Caaaar. ILU REALLY. )

Ah ... Luke?

Given all of the planning that's going into the wedding, I think I can safely assume that preparations won't be finished in time.

[LOCKED TO THE SILVER DRAGON/HINATA INN HEAD HONCHOS]

In all honesty, I should have done this much sooner ...

To the heads of the Silver Dragon and Hinata Inn:

If I may make a request ... My name is Tear Grants, and I'll be getting married later in the month. My fiance and I discussed this a while back, and we decided we wanted an outdoor wedding. We were wondering if you all had any pleasant outdoor areas that could be used for the wedding, and then a place for the reception later, if at all possible.

Naturally, we're open for discussion, and if you have any recommendations for another place to hold the event in the case you feel someone else could do it better, My fiance and I are willing to take any recommendations you can offer to heart.

Thank you,

Tear Grants

Ahh .. Luke?

In the morning .. let's not get up right away. Let's just stay in bed for a little while. Um. Together, preferably.

Teaaaaaaaaaarrrrr!!! Tear, can I borrow some of Rhea's clothes?

Luna? Why would you-- Oh. Oh, I see ..

Mom, why would she--OH DEAR LORELEI THERE'S A NAKED-- [cough] Y-Yeah, um, Luna, come with me, I'll get you situated.

Thank you~!!

Hm? Oh, that's strange ... my D-Comm is recording.

[LOCKED TO NATALIA]

Natalia, if you're not doing anything sometime this week, would you mind me coming over?

If you're curious, I've got something important to talk with you about.

[LOCKED TO ASCH, ADELLE, RHEA, AND LUKE]

Asch, Adelle, Rhea ... I haven't spoken with your father about this (meaning, telling you children about it) but he's going to have to just deal with it, but I thought it would be only fair to let you three know.

Your father and I have decided to get married.

[LOCKED TO LUKE, VAN, AND MARYBELLE]

Van, Lady Marybelle.

Luke and I have decided to get married ... soon. We would love to have you all at the wedding, however ... I'm sure you know there are a few problems. One of the problems concerning our children and Van. I'm sure you two remember a certain incident involving Adelle, and then later ones involving Rhea and Asch.

Considering all that has happened, Brother, we're not certain if it would be a good idea to have you at the wedding. Even so, we would still like it if Lady Marybelle and Zacharias were to attend. I understand that Rhea has become quite close with Zacharias, and Lady Marybelle is Guy's sister ...

If I may make a request: please, let's all discuss this like the adults we are.

[Note left on the table to Luke and the Children - Only readable to them]

Luke, Asch, Adelle, and Rhea:

Noelle asked for a healer. I don't know the details, but Guy somehow got himself hurt. I've offered to go help with the healing.

That said, seeing as my healing powers take a toll on my energy levels, I may not be home tonight. Luke, take care of the children, and make sure they don't go running off. All three of you. Behave for your father. I'll be back either later tonight or tomorrow.

I love you all.

Love,

Tear

I can't believe I only just realized this now ... oh. Wait. No, yes, I can.

I know it's not the best time to be thinking of such things, but for everyone who knew Colonel Jade Curtiss during his time here, or for those who know him ... somewhat personally back in Auldrant, his birthday was on October 14.

He's not in this world anymore .. but a happy belated birthday to him nonetheless.

It looks as though several people are getting themselves drunk and making a fool of themselves in Tetha.

Now that I have children, I suppose I should be glad that we're not living there.

I don't think I'd enjoy having a drunk fiancé, or drunk children.

... Actually, I'm not sure which thought is scarier.

[locked from Adelle and twin!Asch, and the hostiles/undesirables; this includes Van]

Everyone, I have a request.

My daughter, Adelle, told her partner that she wished to see a counselor, so that she could overcome the nightmares she continues to have about her time with her uncle. Piyomon brought it up with Luke and I, and we think it's a good idea.

Is there anyone qualified enough to talk to Adelle a few times a week to help her get over her nightmares?

[locked to Van]

Van ...

...

When it comes down to it, despite everything that's happened ...

... I really do want my brother to return to me.

Not the monster that my brother has become, but my brother. The one who cared for me as a child, the one who ...

...

But ... did such a brother ever really exist within you, Van? It's strange to ask it, but I ... feel it necessary.

If you're willing to talk to me ... I'm willing to try once more to talk to you.

... I'm sorry if this makes absolutely no sense.


( OoC: she misses her big brother. :( )

[failed!lock to Touma. feel free to make sick!Tear flail again]

Doctor Norstein ...

I know you told me to rest. However, my youngest daughter is now missing.

Do you think we can make an exception? I doubt I can get any rest in this situation anyway.

[yep, audiopost]

._.

she won't even admit she doesn't feel well ...

[EDITED]

Um, Um, Everyone who knows Tear! She's obviously not feeling very good, and she refuses to go see a doctor or rest or anything! So .. umm .. according to Adelle, I have to get people she knows to get her to go see a doctor, so people she knows, PLEASE PLEASE get her to go, PLEASE? D:
