WEEK 13 - I can't lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies.

the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (13)

sunday (41) survivors Something in the air breaks, shattering from deep within space itself - and to accompany that sensation is a psychic scream. The ship shakes, coming to a screeching halt as a bright light explodes outside it. It pulses, not unlike a heartbeat, that crawls and crawls along at a slow, grueling pace. The last illusion has been broken, the last mental tie severed and crushed. You've done well up until now, and you can reap the benefits of Her labor; the dead walk among you, after all, and as Her scream rings out, a burst of energy shoots through the residents of the Pygmalion. It's clearly a desperate bid, but it doesn't root itself in place. Instead, you feel lighter than ever - Her attempt to claim you has only unraveled the string that kept you in place. The 40% limit has been lifted, and you are at full capacity. The chains have been broken. Go freely, heroes. taken list profiles private conversations setting rulebook ENTER COMMAND_

Hooray, a therapist

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Oh, good, that's a relief! I should have gotten myself a therapist years ago. [Because living in Tackleford is a real challenge to sanity, you know. Buuuut...there's also something else]

Wait, you're Dave's sister? Does that mean Roxy is your mother too?

[How many teenager children do you have, Roxy, why does Homestuck have to be a thing]

[grimdeity]

Congratulations, you've found one. What is it you've felt you've needed one for?

[ can tackleford beat homestuck in the sanity department, though. real q. ]

Yes. Genetically, Roxy is our mother. Since I'm sure it's obvious that a teenager can't have two teen children. Another version of her was also the person who raised me, making her more literally my mother. Those are the least complicated details of the matter.

[ ... because ectobiology and also rose is roxy's mother figure and then there's the striders and ]

[tacklefordwhimsy]

Weeell...I need to have nerves of steel, uh, metaphorically speaking. The place I come from is...not what people would call "normal". There are way too many long stories involved.

[Everything including Tackleford beats Homestuck in the sanity department, what kind of question is that]

Oh! I see! I'll pretend I completely understand the part about another version of Roxy raising you, because I don't feel like having a migraine today.

[Her limit regarding this madness was accepting that Dave had a teenage mother, Shelley can't deal with understanding alternate versions right now]

Have you been told yet you have a very cool mother and brother? Because they're very cool people. I can't imagine this ship without them doing their shenanigans around here.
