"I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay."

Sereno continued to try to curl up into a ball, gasping for air.  "I-i-i could you at least get that book away from me?!"  His voice was shrill and panicked, not even glancing at the mildewy book that had been unwrapped from the package Alicia had gotten.

Happy Birthday, dude. Have lots of cake and ice cream and enjoy your b-day with fun and style, or whatever it is that you do in Desert Bluffs.

Fun? We have a lot of that here. Trust me. It's detestable. Thank you.

Comet, Equinox, Zenith.

Comet:Who do you like to be with?"It depends on my moods, really.  In my darker moods, I tend to prefer to be alone unless I trust the person in some way.  Even if it's trusting they'll be a monster, the echoes... help.  Or the mirrors, no matter how flawed.  I hope it doesn't reflect poorly on me."Equinox:What makes you calm?"Exhaustion.  I usually do housework for that, but when doesn't work, I... I dance.  I still can do it, it's how I became agile enough to survive the first few years of undergrad on pure instinct.  But bone-deep exhaustion makes everything go away, and quiet."Zenith:What makes you feel good about yourself? "A job well done!"

"You're Richard, right? I heard about you on the radio. What's it like being a tree, if ya don't mind me asking?"

'Oh hi.' Richard chirped, branches shivering a bit. 'It's all right I guess. It can be kind of lonely.'

It could get difficult to figure out how to pass the time. It certainly made Jasmine realize that she should look into picking up some sort of hobby. Without being able to work she was just... there. She had nothing to occupy her time. Even so, her uncle and current guardian scrutinized every activity she did participate in, so there wasn't much she could do. She supposed she could be annoyed, but he was just worried. Worried about her, about the baby... 

The baby. A soft hand gently rubbed her rounded stomach. It was almost time for its arrival, and while excitement blossomed in her, fear still tugged at her. Questions and worries bloomed in her mind like fireworks, and nothing she did smothered them. Every so often a small contraction--another sign of her impending due date--would pass through. She was told they were normal, and did her best not to be too concerned about them. 

Maybe I'll take a bath.. that should help--

Her thoughts froze when she felt sudden liquid between her legs. That was something to be concerned about.

"Um... Tio?" she called, trying to pry herself off the couch. "Caesar? CAESAR!"

Oi, Sereno. I don't suppose ya know of any good parenting manuals, or good advice for new parents? I've, uh, sort of, more or less adopted a girl and been adopted in return, and, um. No fucking clue what I should be doing. And yes, I do know I could go to the library, but I don't exactly trust it, since the last time I checked out some books, at least two of them spat ink at me.

"Generally the best place for ah, safe parenting advice is the grocery cashier line, only because the magazines don't have enough paper strength to spit.  I'll come over.  I've seen a decent amount around town, but I haven't looked at them, so I'll come over and help myself.
