Okay so I feel bad for twitter folks.

It was never my place, but seeing what’s going on for folks who have entire communities there, I feel bad for the people having to find a new way to connect and communicate and interact that matches what they enjoy and want.

#what i really like about Helga are her proportions 

#she’s thin but muscular and has some curves

#but she’s also tall which is unusual for an animated woman 

#and her eyes don’t take up half her face 

#and she has broad shoulders which i like

Thank you, creators of Atlantis.

Alex holds out her index finger while she chugs something from her flask, “Get comfortable kid, this one is a doozy. So we go back a couple years at this point and I get a visit from this nice Lalafellan man came to me asking for… fireworks.” Chances are the kid has no clue what Nitroglycerin is or why he would want it, “Yeah, we'll say fireworks. Now he wanted to make a bunch of kids happy with the fireworks but all he wanted was sparklers which while they work I was trying to get him to get some skyrockets or anything else. You know for… the kids.” She was actually trying to talk him into a more expensive and less dangerous explosive for mining but this is a kid’s story.

“He just didn’t want anything else! So I agreed to it. Fast forward a week and I sent off the fireworks to him and these really big lizards showed up and stole the fireworks! Heck they were some big ol’ bullies and even beat up my nice folks that were bringing the fireworks!” She leaned forward, “Now what kind of horrible person would do that? Steal fireworks for kids!? Real bad people.”

“Now, this was gonna take a group effort to get these fireworks back so I got my friends together! I hatched a plan and my friend B’kali, a powerful healer and magic user who could not ride a chocobo at all! Lemme tell you she clung onto her bird like it was a life or death situation! It was really funny.”

“Anyway, so, B'kali and I rode over to try and sneak in, get the fireworks and rescue everyone but we got spotted by the bullies! There were a buncha them! But B'kali used her awesome magic to lift the ground up below them and toss'em into the air!" Alex made some funny noises then the Goofy 'Yah ha ha hoooey' noise while she illustrated with her hand, "We managed to escape from the other bullies that weren’t on the rock and returned home.”

Alex took another drink from her flask, “So I realized I needed help other than B’kali. I got in contact with my friends Fiona, Haecid, and and a few others to tackle this problem! We got word that another caravan was attack so we raced to stop them but we were too late. While we couldn’t stop the bullies from stealing things we did make a big discovery, a very rare flower. That was what the bullies were after!”

“While I went to the Shroud to talk to a very nice botanist, very pretty, very kind…” She shook her head, “Err anyway, while I was doing that the others went to investigate the business who’s caravan was attacked! Make sure they were alright, make sure the caravan driver made it home say. While there they got the feeling, a feeling and any hero might get, that the owner was a very bad person just like the bullies. So Haecid decided to come back and investigate later!”

“Cutting back to me I had discovered that the rare flower was actually very bad for people. It made them very, very, very sick when they ate it. I had just flown into Ul’dah when there was a huge explosion! I ran as fast as I could towards it and as it turns out one of the bullies were attacking the other bad guy while the others were there! I managed to paralyze the bully with a nifty invention of mine called Jellyfish rounds! Well we took him back to our base!”

“While my friend Madison was dealing with the bully that couldn’t move Haecid was attacked by one of the bad guy’s henchmen, F’bian, turns out he wasn’t just a henchman. Turns out, F’bian was a very bad guy! A very bad guy that could CONTROL MINDS! He used his evil magicks and that flower to take control of Haecid’s mind!” She let out a Dun dun DUN!!!!! Before she continued, “F’bian sent him to attack me!” She paused again and lifted her shirt a bit, “He gave me a scar before B’kali and Fiona managed to break the magick hold on him.” She took another drink, “Now we’re all mad, because we are thinking this guy was the one that stole the fireworks and hurt all those people but because we can’t just have anything simple, as it turns out F’bian had a sister, a sister that was a evil witch! His sister was actually the person behind the bullies even! She and her brother were having a fight and her plans were to make everyone think her brother had stolen the fireworks to get him in trouble!” She let out a sigh, “So many people got hurt just because those two were fighting. Anyway, we all charged in there, saved the people who were in trouble, got the fireworks back, captured both siblings and made the day of a bunch of kids who were really wanting to see pretty fireworks!”

Chug chug chug, "And the day was saved!"

T'iny Tia is sick in bed (rickets), tell him a child friendly version of an rp adventure to cheer him up! But be warned, if your story is too scary for T’iny Tia, his parents will scold you!
