Well, as long as the customers themselves don't take advantage of it, anyway, I suppose. [He'd missed out on working retail, luckily, but he had friends and allies at court who weren't so lucky. Henderson--the Farwalker who Steven had covered for at Radio Free Fae when he had to take a long sabbatical--had plenty of horror stories.]
The truth is, running Fight Club was something I was never prepared for, nor was Thace. My friend Tyler was the original manager--we owned it together, but I had a day job with the Radio Tower in their newsroom. But, well, he disappeared (as did our investor, my ex-boyfriend) and it ended up in my hands--and since Thace and I had become lovers around the same time as Tyler disappeared, he ended up as a sort of business partner to the whole enterprise. But he was a soldier and I worked in television. We're mostly just working off Tyler's original business plans.

I see.
I would have liked to try my hand at such a weapon.
going into the wild to catch pokemon is fine
but it doesn't have the same calming effect that a good hunt does.

No, it doesn't and I really do miss it, a little. [Both kinds of hunts, honestly. Tending the Autumn Court's barrow and hunting the Hedge to feed friends. The second happened more often, the first was more of a challenge.] And I know Thace regrets that we can't go on one together—I understand hunting was an important part of his people's culture, pre-spaceflight.
What did you hunt with back home? I can't think that swords would be very useful in hunting for food. Spears? Bows? (Thace says the traditional way for his people was with tooth and claw, but Galra *have* actual claws and nice, respectable fangs like that.)

makes sense for a cat-based people.
I hunt with bows.
sometimes hounds too.
I dislike spears.
I find them unwieldy.

They do seem to be, a bit. It's a lot easier to direct a blade where you want when it's close to your hand and not at the end of a long stick.
I. I don't know. Let me look for her, okay, mija?
[Oh shit oh shit, please don't let her have vanished.
Shit. It's starting to look like she did vanish.]

[Ugh. Yeah. That's how it looks to him too.]
Stupid absent-minded space llama!

I don't think so, mija. I think he's just very bad about paying attention to where people are and loses track of them.
He could lose us, yes.
And you're probably very scared now, Kiri, and I don't blame you for being. It's a scary thing.
All we can do is love our people and spend what time we can with them. Make the most of whatever time we have.

I think it could! That's a good idea, Kiri. I'll do the same things too.
I don't like it either.
Do you want to make a post so that everyone can see about your idea for how we can keep from disappearing? Or do you think we should send everyone individual texts like this?

Oh good, everyone likes eggs. They can read your egg post to see which ones you have and then they'll read about your not disappearing idea too.
Do you have any ghost eggs, mija?

They really don't sometimes! Do you think I could have a water ghost, Kiri?
Thank you so much, mija!
It was nice seeing you at the Cow Race. Are you going to come with Geralt and Jaskier to prom next month? That's a special dance they have every year. People put on pretty clothing and eat nice food and then there's usually a fight at the end, or that's what people say. I've only been to one before.

I saw! You did very well, Kiri.
And I wish I could be surprised about Jaskier and Geralt, but some people are very stubborn. And sometimes people can love other people, but not think that they deserve to have them.
Have you tried talking to the hotel people to get them to give them rooms with only one bed?
