Today's message is to always check your drug interactions and be aware of the possibilities.

I still have an SO because I figured out what was going on in time.

@chibichibi I too am curious about this place.

The moment you get to say 'I have no idea where this ride is going, but welcome to the plot!'

A MU* set in an American military hospital during the Korean war.

MASHMUSH.

@tinuviel

I just looked it up and you are right. Apparently in the US this was happening as recent as the 70s. Very depressing and heartbreaking.

If you've heard the reports from the immigration detention centres, it's happening in the US now. Fuck 'as recent as the 70s'. It's still happening.

6-bedroom farmhouse at least two centuries old, set in acres of land, more than a mile away from the next human, where there's no public transport

Sounds like they need to move to the US.

The particular ones I'm thinking of ended up in Wales, half an hour from where I used to live. It's a part of the world where Londoners move to in order to drink themselves to death...

@tributary There's a show in the UK called 'Escape to the Country'. Standard fare for that is 'We're both retiring, and our three-storey townhouse in the middle of a city and two minutes' walk from all the shops is just too much for us to handle, so we're looking for an 6-bedroom farmhouse at least two centuries old, set in acres of land, more than a mile away from the next human, where there's no public transport.'

I don't know what planet they're on, but...

Seconding the recommendation for the Charismatic Voice. This is one of my favourites when it comes to her reviews: Phil Collins, In The Air Tonight

I'm not a Phil Collins fan, but that song's an indelible part of my youth - and it turns out that no-one told her something quite important about Phil Collins. There's a moment of pure comedy gold, completely unintentional, that I'm not going to spoiler because it's just too perfect. If you know the secret, you'll be falling over laughing when it happens too. And if you don't, well, prepare for a surprise!

@tinuviel Yeah, there's reasons I'm not drawn to Vampire. At least with Werewolf everyone is nominally on the same side, but with some leeway as to how they go about it.

@goblin Union. Now. If only to watch your back.

And archeologists lick rocks to find out if they're bone.

She does, it's true. Amazing portraits.

Thing I did love: 8:00am text 'Please book in for your first vaccination' then 'available appointments: today'.

Thing I did not love: Someone who just wanted to get me vaccinated. I feel like a dartboard, pretty sure she stood on the ockey and lobbed the pointy thing at me. Ow.

Thing I do love: I have been stabbed up for the first time. So has the SO (although they got someone who actually tried to make it not hurt and I envy).

For the record, these are real cats that @Crawfish drew for me. Well, one cat, one muppet.

@curious1 Arxian society is less stratified than you might think. Most of the Princes and Princesses will talk to even SR9 street scum, so don't worry on that score, and you can always join an org that deals with people across the social scale like one of the various Discipleships attached to the Faith.
Roster characters generally do come with some sort of secret, and should have premade hooks to at least one org. Both these things give you places to start.

@rusalka Hi, Alexis! Saint here. Long time no see!

@ninjakitten The SO did indeed get the job. And on the first day, was greeted by someone else who'd heard the quote from the hiring manager.

@too-old-for-this To quote my SO in an interview: 'My tolerance for boredom is higher than my tolerance for poverty'.
