so is pass and fail just a judgment on our performance, or do we reckon it's gonna come back and bite us in the ass in the future?

aurora said she missed us, by the way. ( those are not the words she used. ) she also said that she and eos are free to run their cities in whatever way works for the people under her care, as long as we're well-taken care of.

but, thing is, she gets to define that. says she gets to learn from her actions and inactions in relation to us.

which is something to keep in mind when we're acting as a group or not acting as a group and trying to get answers, or choosing which rules are okay to break and which rules are okay to stretch.

because between here and moorecroft, right now i'd say we've got the better end of the deal.

I didn't even realize we were being graded
My kids were in school, not me. jeez!!

but sounds like Aurora is... younger, then?
if she's still learning and all that

[westcoasts]

is that a 'fail'?

between the two, yeah. she's the younger sibling.
her and eos don't talk much.

[hasitsthorns]

no!!!
... maybe

I was kind of getting that vibe
Though I wonder why?
they seemed close enough

[westcoasts]

sounds like you blend about as well as i do.

i don't think they are.
not in the way that you and i would be close to our siblings.
nothing personal, just they don't need to be, was the impression i got.

nearly crashing my minivan probably didn't help
but they gave it to me
and didn't ask if I knew how to drive, so
that feels like it's on them!!

huh
I guess that makes sense, like...
working relationship vs family as most people know?

[westcoasts]

you didn't think you needed to know how to drive
before driving a minivan??

( GIRL. )

depends on what your family's like and what your work's like, i guess.

[hasitsthorns]

I mean like!!
I didn't think it'd be that hard to LEARN
cars are confusing though

that's a fair point
my work probably wouldn't have been a good gauge so...

[westcoasts]

you know when meds talk about not operating heavy machinery
they're talking about cars, right?
aka the things with an age limit and a test you gotta pass in order to get a licence?

yeah, mine either.
or my actual brother.

[hasitsthorns]

whAT
I thought they meant like
fork lifts? cranes???

haha yeah I have my found family!
but actual is a different story

[westcoasts]

you ever tried picking up a car?

they're heavy.

[hasitsthorns]

well I mean
YEAH, I GUESS
for some reason my mind just didn't... make the connection like that...

anyway, point is: driving is hard

[westcoasts]

lotta people don't, weirdly.

I have excellent hand-eye co-ordination and spatial awareness.
that's not something I can relate to.

I can drive cars. boats. planes.

[hasitsthorns]

I'm good at that when it comes to instruments
and self-defense!
but otherwise
not really

[ Those are two

very different things, he's free to notice. ]
