Paige "Ehhh. It's a fucking deluge outside."

Talia "-but, you know. Nature likes it when it rains!"

Paige "Tell that to the drowning earthworms, princess."

Julian "There's been some progress-"

Aurora "Aha."

Julian "-but no sentences yet."

Veronica "Her speech development is slightly delayed, but she's still well within the range of individual variation. I'm not too concerned about it." Even though I half-expected Julian's child to be writing articles at this point... how silly of me. Aurora is just a toddler.

Veronica "You look thoughtful. Is it the trip?"

Paloma "Um, not really. I wonder if I'll ever have this many friends."

Veronica "Oh, dear. I made my first good friends at the college, and I only met Julian and Becca as we started to work together!"

Paloma "I suppose... I need to try to remember to talk with people at the university, huh? It's so easy to focus on studying."

Veronica "That's a skill many would be jealous of, love. But please do remember to have fun, too! Talking of which-"

Veronica "-would you help me to set the cake?"

Paloma "Oh! Of course, mom."

Troy "May I have a dance, my queen?"

Veronica "I'll dance with you through the night if you wish, handsome!"

Teresa "Make space for your mom's old bones, kiddo."

Paige "Don't fret. This thing is huge."

Teresa "Yeah, it's nice and costs a fucking fortune. Too bad, since Deanna would love to have one of these."

Paige "C'mon, mom. Are you doing those roles for visibility, or what??"

Felix "You sell frozen pizzas now? Cool."

Troy "That's right, you won't have to travel to Gritford to stock ready meals anymore. But why won't you delight your father with a fresh fish, too? I'll offer a modest discount for buying both."

Troy "And how may I help you, sir?"

Cedric "Haha... no need for such formality. Is Vera home?"

Troy "Err... no, she's at work. Do you have business with her?"

Cedric "Ah... I just wished to exchange news. No matter! The fish is fresh, you said?"

Deanna "-you barely made it! We're about to close."

Jamie "Sorry! Felix said that you have dairy products now. It's always a trouble to get those through the desert without spoiling them."

Deanna "I know, right?? We should have one fridge for ice cream only."

Deanna "See? I told you it's a brilliant idea."

Troy "Yes, I admit so." Fish wasn't selling like it used to... and now we have something to offer for the youth, too. "I, uh. Thank you, Deanna."

Deanna "Hey, it's my job as a manager, right? You're welcome, Troy."

Paige "Morning, BB! Did you have a good night?"

BB *screeches*

Paige "You could say 'yeah' or something."

Talia "Don't tease her, Paige. She just woke up!"

Paige "Don't mind that princess there. She's just jealous that you spoke to me first."

Talia "Ugh. I'm totally not! That wasn't even proper-"

Deanna "Keep it down, girls, your mom just hit the coffin."

BB *whistles*

Deanna "Includes you too, BB!"

Right, this is BB! She's quite talkative, although her vocabulary is still under construction. She knows some killer dance moves, too. A perfect fit for this household!

Talia "-one day I'll travel around the world, and I won't tell her about it. Flight tickets are expensive, but-"

BB "Money!"

Talia "Exac—oh my watcher!!! Mom, did you hear that?! BB talked to me!"

Deanna "-that's enough flying around for today. You need sleep, too!"

BB *disapproving squawk*

Teresa "Damn, promotion on the first day? If I was as good at this working shit, I would've been doing lead roles ages ago."

Paige "Eh, that golf course was a total joke. I think they only offered me another position so that I can't sue them."

Deanna "Mmph, still counts! We're super proud of you, sweetie!"

Talia "So, um... congrats, I guess?"

Paige "Aw. Thanks, sis. Hey, you really managed to teach BB a word?? That's fucking cool."

Talia "I did!! She pronounces it so well, too. I gotta show you how she does it while dancing-"

Deanna "Oops! Too much chili."

Talia "Mama!! Ewwww."

Paige "Hey... can I ask something?"

Deanna "Duh, always, sweetie. What's buggin' you?"

Paige "You know how Paloma has a job?"

Deanna "Yep! She's doing something at the school, right?"

Paige "Eh, yeah, substituting, and stuff. Not my point. I just thought, could I get a job, too?"

Deanna "Huh... you'd want to teach?"

Paige "Damn, no! I was thinking more of like, a cashier or something. Whatever they accept minors for."

Deanna "Oh, I can ask if Troy's willing to hire? We could use more hands at the shop, for sure-"

Paige "Um. I'd want to look for something from Gritford, if that's fine? I just, dunno. Would be cool to meet new faces and such."

Deanna "Soooo it's a girl thing?"

Paige ".........Sorta? I don't really like anyone I go to school with. It's stupid, but-"

Deanna "Hey, that's a completely valid reason! Sure, go ahead."

Paige "For real?"

Deanna "Of course! Just, no working at bars, and don't put your name on any stupid contracts. Okay?"

Paige "I won't! Thanks, mama!!"

Teresa "Evening, babe."

Deanna "Oh, hey love! I thought you were at work."

Teresa "Yeah, me too. I ran out of sunblock."

Deanna "Oof. You gotta ask Cedric to make you more!!"

BB *clicks tongue*

Talia "Aw. Does that mean that you missed me?"

BB *happy cooing*

Talia "Oh, I have an idea! I could teach you to travel on my shoulder. How cool would that be??"

Deanna "Hi, Talia!"

Talia "Oh, hi, mama!"

Deanna "Could you put BB down for a moment? I've got something for you."

Talia "Omw!! What is it...?"

Deanna "Just a little surprise! It's not any fancy model or anything. But I hope you'll still like it!"

Talia "Oooh, oooh, I know! It's a camera, right??"

Deanna "Yup! You've said you'd want one, so-"

Talia "I do! Thanks, mama!!!"

Talia Why didn't she tell me? ...I guess I haven't shared her much about my things lately either. But it's different!! Job is big news. I thought she'd even let me know...

Deanna "Hey! You're home. I wasn't sure if you had headed out."

Talia "Um, no. I didn't."

Deanna "Everything alright, sweetie?"

Talia "I guess... did you know that Paige went to work somewhere?"

Deanna "Yep! She asked permission, and all—oof. Sorry, I should've realized to ask if you'd want to do that too. Of course you can-"

Talia "I don't want a job, mama."

Deanna "Oh, okay... how about some hobby, then?"

Talia "Mmm. Dunno."

Paige ...Golf caddy? I didn't even know there's a course somewhere. Do they play on sand, or... uh, whatever. It's an open position and they pay for it, that's the steak.

Paige Dunno if I should tell Talia... where is she, even? ...Eh, she probably doesn't care, anyway. That job ain't fancy enough for her.

Deanna "-and Paige's got for a job now! Can you believe it?? I was only interested in lying on the beach at their age."

Teresa "Yeah-" *huff* "-I remember."

Deanna "What did you do as a teenager...?"

Teresa "Been damn long since that, you know. But..." *huff* "During one period, I practically lived at movie theaters. They had some style back then! Big neon signs, fancy-ass chandeliers-" *huff* "-they were called palaces for a reason. The seats were shit, though."

Deanna "Aw. Sounds like a perfect date spot."

Teresa "Yeah, but you couldn't just make out in public. I guess it added to the thrill. Especially when I briefly dated a cute projectionist-"

Talia "Hi, Emil!"

Paige "-just saying we should, like, make the thing at least fart fire or something. Woodwork classes are always so dull-"

Emil "So you want to do a prank? I'm in! But listen, fire isn't very sophisticated-"

Talia "I read that reportedly female cockatoos are harder to teach-"

Paige "Ugh, get your ass off the way, Talia!! Shit, I missed-"

Emil "Ha! Triple kill!"

Paige "Blah, blah. That stupid rat is a fucking cheat, I swear-"

Deanna "Paige, sweetie. Don't take the game too seriously! Would be nice if BB didn't catch all the swearwords, too."

Teresa "Evening, babe. Care to drop that towel for me?"

Deanna "Pfff. You wish! Girls are probably coming back home, soon."

Teresa "Eh, too bad. We have anything in the fridge? I'm fucking starving."

Deanna "Sure, there's—shit! What's happened to you??"

Teresa "What do you mean...?"

Deanna "You haven't looked in the mirror?"

Teresa "To see the emptiness staring back at me??"

Deanna "Oh, duh. Right. It's just, uh, you look like-"

Deanna "-a tad...... veiny?"

Teresa "Ehhh, fuck. How bad it is?"

Deanna "Like, I didn't even know you have veins, but apparently there's a lot of them."

Teresa "Great. Will be thrilling to explain this to the make-up artist. Forget about the food, I need some of that plasma juice."

Deanna "So that's... normal?"

Teresa "I'm a vampire, Deanna, I don't know a thing about a fucking normal. But yeah, I suppose I've been neglecting all the blood-drinking business a bit too long."

Deanna "Why didn't you tell me?? You could drink from me-"

Teresa "Tempting, babe, but I would never. It's nothing this juice can't fix! It just tastes like shit."

Teresa Slow as hell, but I must be getting older, after all. Yet compared to Deanna... "Sorry that I scared you. I didn't remember this is a thing."

Deanna "It just surprised me! You look kinda cool, really. Like, some sexy monster from a movie."

Teresa "In case you've missed, I am usually playing the sexy monster in them. The lack of modern vampire representation is dire."
