      Fairly sure Shawna already knows that, which is why she normally only has it at home

    Shawna doesn’t know who she’s out with.

      not yet — but she will. (I’m waiting for the Canyon trip to find out how powerful Cas is.)

    Hair ghostie’s looking a little fat today… or maybe it just seems that way because I can’t see its tail

    Oh, Pickle. Make it about you and her. Don’t overwhelm the poor pixie with your extended family. Yet.

      That’s why she is limiting the introductions to one at a time

        Wise decision, that.

    Pickle has such PRIDE in her Nerd Herd! “Surrogate Guardians” is high praise from someone who may well be a Guardian herself.
    This is the Major THING Shawna, and Luci are doing for her.
    Especially when young, we don’t really understand how good we have it, until we explain it to someone else.

      I see what this is doing for Cass. I’m (only slightly) worried that Shawna will feel overwhelmed. She was drawn to a lonely Cass, trying to break out of her shell. Suddenly, she has Phix, Jaguar Girl, Golems of unusual power, Shelly, Gorgons…

      I also think Cass and Shawna need some time to just be a teen couple and not part of the distortion field surrounding her OP relatives. That Cass is OP herself will have to come when they’re more emotionally bonded. Nadette, by contrast, is barely aware of anything but Atsali, and had already met serious MIB people before they started dating.

        If you believe Shawna was only ‘drawn to a lonely Cass’, then that does not say much about your opinion of Shawna (basically that she is shallow and views Cass as a charity case)

        What I can remember of being that age is that attraction was random, capricious, and not related to depth of character. I certainly don’t think it is “only” lonely Cass, but their rapid rise in romantic interest came out of that situation. I’m a huge fan of Shawna for Cass. I just don’t know her well enough to see how good being so much closer to Cass will be for her. I certainly HOPE that their bond deepens to the happiness and growth of them both, but I do tend to worry.

        Well, yeah, one tends to worry about any new romance

    I wish I could wander into Mucho Mocha just to see what Tina would give me—I don’t drink or like coffee.

      Tina is a tea drinker herself, and serves it up for customers as well.

      As you are an extra-reality mundane, she would give you water.

        Hot water, for some Prince of Wales tea.

        Makes me wish I were her boyfriend…

    Cass, make Shawna a nice Moroccan stone pendant. Then you can ease up to the fact that you were using somewhat less of your full stoneshaping abilities. Or carve both your initials in the moon. But I’d start small.

    … what is the lethal dose of nutmeg?… 2-3 teaspoons is LETHAL?!!! Wtf? O.o …. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve apparently almost killed myself with this spice.

      Count yourself _very_ lucky you happened to have just the right genes.
      The LD50, that is lethal dose for 50% of the population, is just that. Fortune has smiled upon you, but don’t push your luck. You don’t know how much of your liver has survived your earlier encounters with nutmeg.

        God only knows… I love nutmeg and I use it in more than a few things. I wasn’t aware that it was even that toxic to begin with.

    Surprisingly, I’d never heard of nutmeg’s dangers or psychoactive effects until the strips of the past couple of days. Seems surprising that it hasn’t been added to the list of banned or restricted substances since it’s so easy to acquire and use.

      Perhaps this is because whatever pleasant effects it my have are far outweighed by the unpleasant.

      The high produced by nutmeg overdose, called “nutmeg psychosis”, is known to be extremely unpleasant, both physically and mentally. People who have survived it describe it as an agonizing ordeal and resolve to never try it again.

    YOU GO, GIRL! I SAID YOU GO! (the familial introductions, not the nutmeg)
