Portions and Portents

[Jasmina Apsara]

Thanks for your patience and understanding, guys.

The family outlook is definitely mixed. One person is doing better, though they still don't really know what's wrong with her. Another got a very negative although not unexpected diagnosis, and I think we're all still trying to process it. I appreciate your well-wishes.

I posted for Jasmina, but no hurry in replying-- I know your computer situation is sucking right now, Frug. Take all the time you need, too.

Sorry for the delay guys, I am getting slammed at work. i will have a post for you ASAP.

[Frug]

It makes sense for dor to post before you now, just because of the order of events, but it's up to you both.

[Taal]

I am happy with that.

Go for it.

[Frug]

We need to get moving...

[Taal]

Post is underway.

[Dorcas Tansy]

Was hoping to post tonight, but have a raging awful headache. Can't look at the screen anymore. No post tonight, sorry!

[Dorcas Tansy]

Wait . . . it's Frug's turn anyway. Silly me.

[Jasmina Apsara]

I'm going to be out of town from Friday until... well, it's looking like Wednesday. I have no idea if I'll be able to post at all, so for safety's sake I'm going to assume no. I apologize for any inconvenience that may cause.

I think that for the time being, I'm just going to hold off posting with Jasmina so I don't leave anyone hanging while I'm gone-- since I haven't yet established what she did until evening anyway. When I return, I will just pick up with her and catch up to wherever that leaves Dorcas and Chrish, rather than doing it in two separate posts of just catching up.

[Frug]

Yeah, sorry I had to jump time until the evening like that but it was necessary to bring chrish and dor into things somehow. I don't remember what my thought process was at the time.

[Jasmina Apsara]

Oh, that's no problem.

Just wanted to let you in on my plan, so no one was waiting on a post I wasn't actually planning to make for a few days.

[Jasmina Apsara]

Guys, so sorry for my lack of posting!

I somehow failed to notice that Dorcas had posted. So I was happily waiting for someone else to post, oblivious to the fact it was actually my turn after all.

I apologize for the delay, and will get a post up for you tomorrow.

[Frug]

*gets out the paddle*

[Frug]

Okay another 4 day wait for me, I know. Have patience for me this post, it's long, and important to me.

[Dorcas Tansy]

I'm unclear on the action going on at this point. Did you know the cat has jumped off Chris's shoulders at this point? When you say:

Squirming beneath his shoulders, he reached over and grabbed the cat to hand it to Dorcas, never taking his eyes off the Xianian. "Take 'im, an' fer th' love o' fuck stay back."

is Chrishton squirming beneath someone's shoulders to fetch the cat, or are you saying that the cat is doing the squirming around Chris's armpit area? Because the cat already jumped away in my last post. Could you please clarify?
