Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2017 5:34 pmNatalie had taken a little time to cool off after talking to Ashlie before approach Shari's room. She knocks on the door and calls out, "Shari, you there?"

Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2017 6:01 pmNatalie blinks, uncertain of how to respond for a moment. Then, she shrugs and opens the door a bit, "Are you busy? I can come back later if you are."

Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2017 5:04 pm"No no, come in!" Shari, or what most likely is Shari, is hanging on the ceiling. Some kind of mix between a lizard and a honeyglider, maybe 4 feet tall, stringing a garland of fake greenery across the room.

Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2017 5:13 pm"I..." She says, not seeing Shari at first and then catching the movement on the ceiling. "What are you doing?"
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2017 6:17 pm"Decorating for the Christmas Ritual." she informs Natalie.
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2017 6:21 pm"You have a Christmas Ritual?" She steps into the room, taking a moment to study Shari's form more closely.

Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2017 8:59 pm"Hmm? No no. For yours. To appease the Santa." she says, finishing to fix the other end of the green strand of plastic greenery to the wall and letting go of the ceiling, twisting right-side up as she glides to the floor and lands on all fours. "Will told me all about it."

Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 12:48 am"No, well, it's not that you're doing it wrong. Christmas is mostly an excuse for people to give gifts to each other. Parents tell kids that it's Santa that brings them presents."

Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 1:05 am"Hmm, that makes more sense." she nods. "But he still decides if they're naughty or nice, right?"
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 5:56 pm"That's what they say," Natalie says, not sure whether to be one of those people or not. "I wanted to talk to you about Christmas."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2017 7:22 pm"Oh, sure. What about it?"
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2017 12:58 am"Well, I'm going to stay with my mum over the holidays and I was wondering if you wanted to come with."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Mon Nov 13, 2017 4:44 pm"Oh." she says, seeming almost startled. "Uhm, yeah. Sure. Did... did you tell your mum about me?" she asks as the scaled sugarglider slowly wrenches itself into the brown-skinned human shaped she's apparently decided is her default 'human' shape.

Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 6:20 pm"Yeah, that one's kinda... complicated." she says, though she seems relieved. "But I'd love to spend the Days of Christmas with you and your mum!"
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 6:27 pm"There's one catch. The Headmistress wants me to keep her updated on where you are. I don't like it and tried to talk her out of it, but she insisted."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 6:54 pm"Hrm." she grunts, her mood noticeably souring. "Can't really blame her for that..."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 6:56 pm"I can," Natalie says, just as sourly. "If you don't want to do it, that's fine. I understand. I just didn't want to keep it from you."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:55 pm"It's my own fault. I told her to question anything to do with our people. But it's what she should do."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 8:58 pm"Yeah, but not with you. She has to trust you at some point, otherwise she's just being unreasonable."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2017 7:41 pm"It could be much worse."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Fri Nov 17, 2017 5:43 pm"It could also be a bloody good bit better," Natalie grouses. "Anyways, so do you still want to come?"
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2017 7:32 pm"Yeah, of course! I'd love to be part of your Christmas celebrations."

Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2017 4:50 pm“Cool! We’ll take the train from Down to London and then from London to Cardiff. Ummm... how much do you want me to tell Mum about you?”
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2017 4:03 pm"I dunno... Probably better not to tell her everything, yeah?"
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2017 4:08 pmNatalie shrugs, “She’ll need to know eventually I suppose, but it can wait til we’re ready.”
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 5:37 pm"I mean... does she? Most humans seem to think little green people from space are some kinda crazy joke. Or that they're evil. Not that they're really wrong on that either. You know, in general."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 6:43 pm"I suppose not, but I also wouldn't necessarily feel right keeping it from her."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 6:46 pm"I mean, she's your mum, so it's really up to you. I just don't want to freak her out, you know? Dunno if that would make me any less of an intruder..."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 8:29 pm"You're not an intruder," Natalie says, "I wouldn't have asked you if I thought you'd be intruding."
Re: Room 105 - Home For The Holidays
Posted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 10:18 pm"Right. Well, it's up to you. I can show up as whatever. I really don't mind."
