Uh oh, Lil Seb's acting out again.
Well, that's not a good sign.
Perhaps the Auto Responder's just spinning too many plates. If he were a truly artificial AI, he'd probably be beyond such limitations - but he was derived from a human brain, and may have inherited a human's limited ability to multitask.
Does Dad know about the bunny, actually? If not, he probably thinks Jane just hit puberty.
You've been climbing your echeladder very gradually for various minor accomplishments here and there since you were 13. That was such a sweet textbook HAT POF, it earned you just enough to clear the next rung, FEDORAFLEDGLING.
Heh. This makes one of my old theories a lot funnier in retrospect.
I previously assumed that the Echeladder was a Sburb mechanic - so when Nannasprite mentioned climbing the Echeladder in her childhood, I took it as evidence that she used to be a Player herself, meaning that Sburb existed in, like, the 1920s.
Turns out, she is a Player - but that's not why she has Echelevels, because Echelevels, like the Sylladex, are apparently a property of the universe itself.
In other words: I used the wrong formula, here, but I still managed to arrive at the correct answer. Kind of.
Also...
...Dad's going to die again, isn't he.
