When all those kids started making their territory I thought we were all on the same page.

So why are these assignments like this? What's the cutoff here?

I'm 21 how is that a child?

[Aurora/Eos, explain!!!]

These "family" assignments are bullshit. They've made my sister my "mum," when she's not even that much older than me.

[ Although, the age gap between them is a bit larger now, since Aelwyn spent a couple of years in that alternate dimension... But it's still unfair in Adaine's book. ]

You shouldn't curse in public, daughter dearest. It's most unbecoming.

[furiousfists]

With all due respect, darling mother, you can fuck off.

[dangerousmind]

I'm shocked and appalled. There goes all your pocket money. Just you wait until your father gets home.

Although I'm pretty sure given the "roles" they're playing into (and the fact that my "spouse" doesn't have a job), I think I'm supposed to be the patriarch. Diversity win and all that.

[furiousfists]

For once in our lives, my "father" actually likes me. So I'm sure whatever punishment you dole out, I'll be able to convince her to relent.

[ So sorry, Anakin... You definitely didn't ask for this. ]

[dangerousmind]

I mean. Honestly I think even the most understanding of parents would probably be on my theoretical side here. You did tell me, the woman who raised you from infancy (roughly five years ago by my account), to fuck off.

Also I thought we just established that I'm the father? Do keep up.

[furiousfists]

I'm a teenager! Rebelling against my parents is what I'm supposed to do! I'm surprised it's not one of the tasks on my bingo card to be filled out for an A grade in familial bonding.

If you want to be the father so badly, go ahead. You know what I did to my last one.

[He definitely feels for her considering his wife has been assigned his parent, however he can't say that.]

That must be difficult especially with her holding that over your head.

[furiousfists]

As you can see, I'm truly suffering.

[ She's not about to try and say that this is the hardest mission she's been on yet. That would be a step too far. ]

[facultative]

No kidding, is that what older siblings are like?

[The closest thing he's had is Obi-Wan and the age gap and roles between them meant it wasn't the same.]

[furiousfists]

It is for us.

[ Adaine has no idea if other siblings share the adversarial relationship that her parents had fostered and encouraged between herself and Aelwyn. Most of her friends are only children. Kristen is the oldest in her family, but she seems to have a good enough relationship with her younger brothers... Maybe it is just them. ]

I take it you don't have an older sibling?

[facultative]

Only child. I'm supposed to see the group that took me in as a big family, but it's not the same.

[furiousfists]

I don't know. Sometimes that kind of family can be better than the one you're born into.

[facultative]

Not in my experience.
