Okay so my new OC’s name is Annabelle Kaye, AKA Emcee. She’s the daughter of Punchline (NOT the Joker) and she’ll be Chrissy’s arch nemesis. And yes her name is a nod to the Annabelle doll plus Chrissy’s full name

She’ll be replacing Missy’s spot on the team, but Missy is still an OC. She’s basically on child lock on the team, both Ronan and Lucy weren’t comfortable letting a 13 year old out on the field so she’s temporarily off the team until she’s older

#and she might be. a possible love interest for Carrie if I can’t find anyone else #annabelle kaye #emcee

Upcoming Movies in November 2020: Streaming, VOD, and Theaters

https://ift.tt/3evPPz5

At this very moment, Halloween decorations are coming down, shattered Jack-o-Lanterns are being swept up, and bounties of candy are being traded by the most discerning of Trick ‘r Treaters. Yes, All Hallows’ Eve is done and November is here.

Seasonally that means warm sweaters and warmer, fuzzier movies at the cinema (or streamer in 2020 parlance). Even though we are still nearly two months away from Christmas, a glance at the upcoming November releases reveal it’s already the season to be jolly. But there’s more than feel-good cheer. There are also horror movies, awards contenders, and comedies to look forward to, whether in a theater or from the comfort of your own home.

Let Him Go

November 6 in the U.S. (December 11 in the UK)

Did you walk away from Man of Steel wishing you could just get a film about Kevin Costner and Diane Lane dealing with the seedy side of family life in rural America? Then you’re in luck, because Let Him Go looks like a slow-boiling thriller that actually takes advantage of their talents. In the film from writer-director Thomas Bezucha (pulling from a Larry Watson novel), the pair plays retired sheriff George Blackledge (Costner) and his wife Margaret (Lane).

After their son dies, the Blackledges’ daughter-in-law marries again, taking their grandson into a new family. But when the grieving grandparents realize her second husband is abusive, and is himself the son of even shadier figures (Lesley Manville and Jeffrey Donovan), George and Margret are roped into a nightmare of familial trauma and treachery. Do they let their grandson go, or face the scariest thing in the heartland… Manville’s Blanche Weboy.

Mank

November 13 (December 4 in the UK)

Prior to its December bow on Netflix, David Fincher’s hotly anticipated Mank will have a limited run in theaters later this month. The picture, which is already being hailed on social media as a masterpiece by many, is Fincher’s first film since 2014’s Gone Girl and has the tantalizing setup of being about the sometimes overlooked writer Herman J. Mankiewicz, co-screenwriter of Citizen Kane.

With an apparently sweltering performance by Gary Oldman as the hard drinking and morally ambivalent writer, the picture is shot in much the same style as Orson Welles’ 1941 masterpiece. Mank also pulls from other styles and seems to investigate the disputed claim by critic Pauline Kael that Mankiewicz deserved sole authorship for Citizen Kane’s script. Either way the film, which also features a screenplay by Fincher’s father, Jack Fincher, looks like one of the most unique and exciting movies of 2020.

Freaky

November 13

Writer-director Christopher Landon did an unlikely thing a few years ago with Happy Death Day: He made the Groundhog Day concept of being forced to relive the same day over and over again into a genuinely clever and amusing horror-comedy. He now seeks to do the same trick twice with Freaky, another Blumhouse Productions theatrical release that reworks the concept of Disney’s Freaky Friday with a blood-curdling twist. Instead of being about a mother and teenage daughter switching place, now the teenage girl is swapping bodies with a serial killer.

It’s a gonzo premise, which gives a lot of room for actors Kathryn Newton, as heroine Millie, and Vince Vaughn, as “the Blissfield Butcher,” to do big, bold things—especially once they switch characters.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

November 13

Netflix’s first major Christmas movie of the 2020 season aims to be a real showstopper. How can it not be with songs by Philip Lawrence and the immeasurable John Legend? The Grammy winning pair are now trying their hand at a Christmas musical with Jingle Jangle, a toe-tapper fantasy that melds Dickensian Yuletide iconography with a star-studded cast of diverse talent.

At the center of it is Forest Whitaker as the ultimate toy inventor who’s on the brink of unveiling his masterpiece. But after it’s stolen by the dastardly Keegan-Michael Key, two children must go on an adventure to save… look, it’s a family holiday movie with John Legend songs. You’re either in or you’re out!

Ammonite

November 13 (U.S. Only)

After months on the festival circuit, Francis Lee’s much anticipated Ammonite finally arrives in theaters this month. The film stars Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan as a pair embarking on a forbidden romance, yes, and it also promises a look at a world on the cusp of change. Some of it will be significant and relatively sudden, with Winslet playing the pioneering paleontologist Mary Anning, who in real life reached international notoriety for her scientific discoveries of Jurassic fossils along the English Channel. Some of it will be painfully slow if nonexistent.

The latter struggle occurs when Winslet’s Anning agrees to essentially chaperone Charlotte Murchison (Ronan), the depressed wife of a wealthy benefactor. But as Anne and Charlotte’s business arrangement becomes a friendship, and then blossoms into something more, their work along the coast becomes a point of interest for not only the pair, but also all those watching from the wings. A definite awards contender, it’s one many have been waiting to see for themselves since the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Fatman

November 13 in theaters, November 24 digital (U.S. Only)

Mel Gibson is playing Santa Claus. To reiterate, Mel “Mad Max” Gibson, is portraying old Kris Kringle.

But you should realize this isn’t your daddy’s Santa. Hell, it’s not even your Santa. But if this grindhouse VOD release somehow works… it might be one you are happy exists.

Movies

20 Christmas Movies for Badasses

By Michael Reed

Movies

The 17 Best Christmas Horror Movies

By Elizabeth Rayne and 3 others

The gist is Gibson’s Kris is a bitter burnout who has become disillusioned by the lack of Christmas Spirit out there. He’s even collaborating with the U.S. military to make ends meet. But when a lump of coal pisses off the wrong kid, that child sends a hitman (Walton Goggins) to take Santa’s head. This is like an ‘80s revenge flick, right down to Gibson’s starring role.

For better or worse, we’re intrigued.

The Princess Switch, Switched Again

November 19 (US Only)

Netflix made a sequel to The Princess Switch. You know, the holiday movie where Vanessa Hudgens plays both a posh princess and an all-American everygirl, and then they switch places like in The Parent Trap?

Either you know what we’re talking about or you don’t, and if you do, good news… they’re switching places again this month!

Run

November 20 (US only)

Run is a Hulu original that appears intent on causing teenagers around the world to think twice about their parent’s smiling concern. Because concern and smiles is what Sarah Paulson’s Diane Sherman is all about. A tightly wound “helicopter parent” if there ever was one, Diane refuses to see her daughter Chloe (Kiera Allen) as a burden. In fact, she likes Chloe just the way she is, confined to a wheelchair, helpless, and on perhaps unnecessary medication.

A24 Horror Movies Ranked From Worst to Best

By David Crow and 3 others

But when taken from Chloe’s point-of-view, this is terrifying. Too bad it will be incredibly difficult for her to run away from home. But as the title suggests… that may be what’s best, dear.

Small Axe

November 15 in the UK, November 20 in the U.S.

Rather than a single film, writer-director Steve McQueen follows up the underrated Widows with five movies in this anthology set. The BBC/Amazon co-production, which will see its premiere respectively on those platforms on each side of the pond, provides a nuanced and trenchant study of the Black experience in the United Kingdom. Each film is standalone but traces a different story or era.

For instance, the first film in the “series,” Mangrove, stars Black Panther’s Letitia Wright and tells the true story of the Mangrove Nine, who clashed with London’s Metropolitan Police in 1970, and whose trial resulted in the first judicial acknowledgment of behavior motivated by racial hatred within British law enforcement. Meanwhile John Boyega plays real life Metropolitan Police officer Leroy Logan, who joined the force with the aspiration of changing it after he saw his father assaulted by two policemen.

These promise to be probing and hopefully revelatory works of cinema, whether you view them as a collection of films or a single miniseries.

Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square

November 22

Yeah, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is great and all with its three ghosts and Tiny Tim. But you know what it didn’t have? Dolly Parton as a singing angel. Checkmate, Charlie.

Movies

The Best Christmas Movie Soundtracks of All Time

By Ivan Radford

Christmas in The Twilight Zone: Revisiting Night of the Meek

By Arlen Schumer

With Netflix’s Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square, Christine Baranski plays a “Scrooge” styled owner of a small community’s land—and she’s planning to sell it this Christmas. That is until she has an intervention from an angel played by none other than Ms. Dolly Parton.

And did we mention Dolly wrote all 14 songs in this thing? It’s a Dolly Holiday, indeed.

Hillbilly Elegy

November 24

The Ron Howard who won an Oscar for directing A Beautiful Mind appears to be stepping to the forefront again with his first Netflix original. After spending time in the galaxy, far far away, Howard looks determined to offer a harrowing, and heartstring-pulling, account of three generations of “hillbillies” struggling for the American dream in Appalachia.

J.D. Vance (Gabriel Bosso), who is a real-life author, returns to his small town after attending Yale. Back home, he will have a reckoning with his childhood and the mother who defined it, Bev (Amy Adams). Actually Bev’s movie, Hillbilly Elegy see her experiences with J.D. and his siblings over the years from her unexpected teenage motherhood to their current estranged relationship.

Awards chatter will have you believe Adams is a Best Actress frontrunner for her turn, as is Glenn Close who plays J.D.’s grandmother Mamaw, but we imagine many might just be happy to see a family more dysfunctional than their own this Thanksgiving season.

The Croods: A New Age

November 25 in the U.S. (January 29 in the UK)

You remember The Croods, right? The DreamWorks movie about cavemen and a voice cast that includes Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, and Nicolas Cage… No, really, it came out in 2013! We’re serious. Well, they made a sequel and this one also includes the voices of Peter Dinklage and Kelly Marie Tran, and it’ll be in theaters. So, yeah. There you go.

The Christmas Chronicles 2

November 25

It’s only Thanksgiving and we’re already on our fourth Christmas movie from Netflix. Yet we suspect this is going to be the one to generate the most excitement since it follows up on the first time Kurt Russell played Santa Claus as a burly mountain man of action for the streaming service.

That 2018 effort was cute, but this sequel is taking things to a whole new world—the North Pole to be exact—and will feature CG elves, a Dickensian Christmas village, and most spectacularly Goldie Hawn in more than a cameo role as Mrs. Claus.

Additionally, Chris Columbus has graduated from producer to writer-director status on this sequel. As he’s the director behind Home Alone and the first two Harry Potter films, his clout and fantastical eye promises to bring some epic holiday majesty to a film that is still about Russell kicking ass and taking names for his naughty list.

Uncle Frank

November 25

One of the most anticipated Thanksgiving releases of the year aimed at a slightly older audience, Uncle Frank appears to be a substantial film about the ties that bind. Family ties are, after all, what brings Sophia Lillis’ Beth Bledsoe to visit her dear Uncle Frank (Paul Bettany). In 1973, Frank is a charismatic and worldly relation to a small town girl like Beth. But it’s only when she crashes his Manhattan apartment that she becomes the first family member to realize Frank is gay… and a delightful companion for a grim road trip to his native home in rural South Carolina.

Hulu New Releases: November 2020

By Alec Bojalad

Sky Cinema and NOW TV: What’s New in November 2020?

By Kirsten Howard

The film has played the festival circuit to already positive acclaim ahead of its Amazon Prime release, with the word being it’s a return to form for Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball. It also is supposed to have standout performances for both Bettany and It’s Lillis.

Superintelligence

November 26 (US), November 27 (UK)

HBO Max also brings some holiday cheer at the end of the month with Superintelligence, a new Melissa McCarthy high-concept comedy. In the film, McCarthy plays Carol Peters, a woman who believes nothing exciting ever happens to her. That changes when her smart TV, smartphone, and even smart microwave begin talking back to her.

What at first appears to be a prank is actually a test since she’s been selected for “observation” by the world’s most advanced artificial intelligence (voiced by James Corden). The AI wants to use Carol as a case study in examining the human condition… possibly as it decides to conquer us. Can Melissa McCarthy save the world?

Black Beauty

November 27

Disney+ has one major narrative film release in November, and it’s a new version of Anna Sewell’s beloved novel Black Beauty. Adapted by Ashley Avis, this is the timeless tale of a teenager and the singular bond she forms with a horse that keeps them connected for a lifetime. The 1876 novel was pivotal for a dawning appreciation of the plight of work horses in Victorian England, and the desire to treat animals more humanely. Indeed, the book is narrated from the vantage of the horse!

The new Disney film appears to be updating things, with the male horse of the novel now being voiced by Kate Winslet. It also appears to feature a modern American setting, but with a promising cast that in addition to Winslet includes up-and-comer Mackenzie Foy as heroine Jo Green and Game of Thrones’ Iain Glen as John Manly.

Possessor

November 27 (UK only)

Brandon Cronenberg’s follow up to 2012’s Antiviral is a sci-fi horror thriller which sees a convert corporation develop tech that allows agents to inhabit other people’s bodies and carry out assassinations. Andrea Riseborough stars as the star operative who finds herself getting lost in one of her quarries, while Jennifer Jason Leigh is her handle. Possessor already played the festival circuit and was scheduled for a UK theatrical release at the end of November until a second lockdown was announced. Now the movie will be released on UK Digital Platforms.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Household 24 - Europa and Gemini host a party

As Aliens believe community is very important, hosting parties is a regular event in each Alien household.

"Not too many of the Desert Valley Aliens," Lysander commented as he arrived.

"No. We'll try again. But Belinda is here!"

Belinda was chatting with Skye, the head of the community. Everyone knew Belinda was struggling the most with Athena's passing. Europa missed her sibling dearly, but loss was not so unfamiliar for Aliens.

Indeed, a few Alien-friendly Sims were in attendance as well as Belinda, including Justin Davis who was the father of twin Aliens from an abduction, and Pilar Lopez, who was a friend of Belinda's.

Everyone was having a great time. Helo trounced Aaricia playing video games and was ready for the next challenger.

"I'm up for the challenge," Caelum called from the kitchen.

"Can I play?" Hathor asked.

"Soon, but I think Ares wanted a turn too," Lysander told his niece. "Where did he get to?"

"Hathor can play next. Ares went to bed," Help told his uncle.

"To bed? But it isn't even my bedtime!" Hathor was very surprised.

Meanwhile, Europa was making a great effort as host to make Ronan feel comfortable... and perhaps wasn't really paying attention to the rest of the guests.

Musical Monday

In an age where work is scarce, this week’s Best Musical nominee reminds one of the good ‘ole Gershwin days. Nostalgia is a lovely distraction in times like these, and so today’s Musical Monday shall serve as such. Let’s go!

Musical Monday date: 4/6/2020

Musical: Nice Work if You Can Get It

Book, Music, and Lyrics: Joe DiPietro, George Gershwin, and Ira Gershwin

Broadway Run: April 24, 2012 - June 15, 2013

Awards Won: Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical (Michael McGrath), Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical (Judy Kaye)/Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical, Outstanding Featured Actor in a Musical (Michael McGrath), Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical (Judy Kaye).

Other: In addition to Best Musical and its two Tony wins, Nice Work if You Can Get It received nominations for Best Book of a Musical, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical (Kelli O’Hara), Best Choreography (Kathleen Marshall), Best Direction of a Musical (Kathleen Marshall), Best Orchestrations (Bill Elliot), Best Costume Design of a Musical (Martin Pakledinaz), Best Sound Design of a Musical (Brian Ronan).

Fun Fact: Nice Work if You Can Get It serves as Kathleen Marshall’s only time she was double-nominated (Direction, Choreography) and did not win either award. She was double-nominated for her work as Director and Choreographer in the revivals of Wonderful Town (2004), The Pajama Game (2006), and Anything Goes (2011); all three garnered wins for Best Choreography.

Nice Work if You Can Get It has a wonderful Gershwin, enhanced by Bill Elliot’s fun orchestrations. It’s a perfect selection for a rainy day listen while you’re sheltering in place. Unfortunately I did not make it to the Imperial Theater to see this fun show, but maybe a regional company will do it someday! Stay tuned for next week when we move on over to another Best Musical nominee of the 2012 Tony season. Until then, stay safe, listen to musicals, and wash your hands!

Household 24 - Ronan and Europa get closer

Ronan came by often, sometimes with his kids, but frequently without. He and Europa were becoming quite close friends.

"I'm gonna get you back!" Ronan roared with joy as the water balloon exploded on him. He picked up his own and threw it back.

"Oh no!" Exclaimed Europa, now soaked as well, but she was laughing as she said it.

After a few more balloons, the pair headed inside and dried off.

"I wanted to thank you," Ronan said. "I never thought I could feel so carefree again. I don't constantly worry about my children. I'm able to relax and let go. I never thought that would be possible."

As Ronan pulled Europa into a hug, she replied "It's Huntsville that's made you and your family safe with their new laws protecting Aliens."

"And you haven't worked hard to see those laws passed and maintained?" Ronan responded. "Besides, you make me happy for other reasons as well."

"I do?" Europa was nervous but hopeful.

Ronan leaned in and kissed her. She felt all a flutter with butterflies, like she was a teenager again. "Looking forward to seeing you again soon." He smiled as he headed out the door.

Europa sat down on the couch beside her niece, Venus, who put down her book and handed Europa a controller.

"Bet my team can beat yours," Venus challenged.

Europa appreciated Venus not making a big deal about the kiss. She was very excited about it, but knew she would continue to take things slow and didn't yet want to talk about it.

She focused on destroying Venus in the video game.

Household 24 - Ronan, Thayla and Bratac come over for dinner

As the right hand of the leader of the alien community, Europa was making efforts to help the Alien families recently arrived from Desert Valley feel welcome.

Ronan and his children Thayla and Bratac were pleased to accept the invite. Europa greeted them and asked how they were settling.

"I still can't just let them go to the park. I have to go with them. I'm not sure if it's because they aren't ready or I'm not ready, but I still need to keep them close." Ronan was understandably protective.

"It took Ares well over a year to sleep in his own bed most nights. Please do remember that, for instance, Venus would be happy to take your children to the park and keep them safe."

"That's a very kind offer. Everyone here is so kind."

"We have to stick together. Huntsville is safe, now, but that is still recent. Though it was never as terrible as Desert Valley." Europa couldn't help but shutter at the idea that these sweet children had suffered so.

"I can only hope Ares and Helo, Thayla and Bratac grow up to not live in fear, but there will still be children in other places that do. Our goal is for Huntsville to be a haven, like Three Lakes." Europa could be very passionate.

Ares and Helo arrived home from the park. Helo brought Thayla and Bratac inside to play before dinner.

Ares complained that he was tired and asked if he could go to sleep, even though that meant missing a meal with their guests.

Of course Europa wasn't going to deny her nephew sleep, but it worried her. This was not the first time. The boy often seemed fatigued.

Venus served dinner. A hearty spaghetti.

It was a comfortable family meal. Europa was pleased as their guests clearly felt welcome, are well, and shared stories about the children starting school.

Huntsville Revived #328

Astra was an adult now. She and Skye would have to figure out what that meant in terms of their living situation.

Kaylynn, the maid they hired, was not impressed with the state of their home. She kept exclaiming at every speck of dust and mumbling about how badly the place needed a deep clean.

“You did very well to hire me, Ms. Skye, Ms. Astra. This home needs professional help. I am very glad to be here.” Kaylynn truly didn’t believe that it was people who were messy, but houses that couldn’t take care of themselves. And she liked taking care of those houses.

Kaylynn was a particular fan of Ronroneo, and other cats.

“Who is the sweetest boy who has kept this house rodent free? You are!” she pronounced as she cuddled him.

Ronan and Barish dropped by for another visit. Ronan was fascinated by the comfort with which Skye and the other Huntsville Aliens interacted with Humans. Barish was now their leader, but he had had to prove himself and was perhaps the only Human Ronan had ever trusted.

“Aren’t you hungry, Ronan?” Barish called.

“Have you seen this documentary?” Ronan responded, ignoring the question, “It’s about the Huntsville Anti-Alien Act.”

“I haven’t,” said Barish, “That was the law that essentially made Aliens here into criminals?”

“That’s right,” Skye said. She had hated that law.

“Humans in Huntsville protested until the Anti-Alien Act was reversed,” he said to Barish in amazement. The Humans in Desert Valley were more than happy to see Aliens segregated from them. “It barely lasted 6 months.”

“It did still happen,” Skye reminded them as she packed up some food for Ronan to take with them. He and Barish could not stay too late that night.

“It does show, though, that having allies among the Humans will make us all safer,” Barish told his friend.

“Thank you for having us, Skye,” Barish held her hand gently. He had not yet told Ronan or the others about his feelings for Skye.

“You are always welcome.” Skye said it to both of them, but gave Barish a wink that implied he was especially welcome.

“Barish is a good man,” Astra said.

“Oh?” Skye should not have been surprised that her daughter had noticed the connection growing between them.

“Daniel was a good man. And Barish is a good man.” It was high praise indeed from her daughter.

“Is there a good man that you want to spend time with?” Skye asked.

“Hmmm.” Astra thought about the question for longer than Skye had expected. “Not yet.” was the long awaited answer.

As Skye relaxed in her bed before sleeping, Ronroneo dreaming at her feet, she felt so much hope. Yes, she had entered her twilight years, if you considered 54 twilight years...which as an Alien she supposed she had to...but the community was growing. They were able to vote! She had never voted before. And she had a crush!!! Which was a pretty silly thing for an old woman to be excited about, but she was none the less.

Peaceful, she grabbed the most recent novel she had borrowed from the library.

And thus we come to the end of Spring - Days 4-7 for Skye, Astra and Ronroneo.

Huntsville Revived #322

A few weeks later, after the newly arrived Aliens had gotten settled, it was time for a celebration. They would celebrate the growing community, they would celebrate their right to vote, and they would celebrate Skye’s birthday.

“It’s time for the cake, everyone!” Lysander announced. The Desert Tech new residents gathered with the current ones to watch Skye blow out her candles.

Skye looked around her before she made the transition. Not everyone in the community was there, but it was a full house.

She noted her brother, Sorren, his love, Lauren, and her nephew, Castor. Europa and Lysander represented the rest of the Goldsun siblings. Charlotte wouldn’t have missed this party for the world. And the three adults who had just arrived from Desert Tech - Sisko Nerys with his bright purple hair, Ronan Kaye who had clear signs of mixed heritage, his skin a Human colour though his eyes and eye-markings clearly showed what he was, and Barish Byzan, the human father of an Alien child.

Three years ago, stuck in that damned enclosure, Skye could not have imagined such a party.

The joy, the cheers, the friendship that filled the room. Skye was ready to become an elder.

She blew out the candles, and began the transition.

She took a look at herself. “I don’t look so bad,” she thought. In fact, she looked pretty good.

Skye was excited to embark on this next stage in her life’s journey.

“This is an interesting crowd,” Ronan began. He hoped that the teenager might be more forthcoming to explain to him what was going on. “The woman in the blue tank top, she’s not an Alien.”

“No. Lauren is...something else. She was born human and then something happened to her. Scientists couldn’t figure it out, so she’s generally considered an Alien regardless.”

“She clearly belongs in this community. But what about the woman in black. What’s her connection?”

“Charlotte? She and Skye have been best friends since college.”

“College? So she’s just a Human?”

Castor actually laughed when he said that. “She is just a Human, but one that has been our friend. It’s people like her who reversed things in Hunstville when they started to get really bad.”

“Hi. I’m told your Charlotte, and a Human?” Ronan was the type to face confrontation head on. If this Human was considered welcome, he would assess the situation for himself.

“Hello. You’re Ronan, right? Oh, you might want to sit down...those two should get a room, but they probably won’t.” Charlotte’s smile was warm. Sorren and Lauren clearly heard her and paid the comment no mind.

“What’s your Alien connection?” Ronan asked. The only Human he trusted was Barish Byzan, the birth father of an Alien baby.

“My husband’s brother was Skye’s father and an Alien. Two of his grandchildren are Aliens too. But I’m only recently married. Skye is my best friend. She’s my Alien connection.”

Ronan wasn’t sure what to make of that. It seemed awfully suspicious to him, but none of the Nickelton Aliens seemed to mind.

Meanwhile, Astra dragged Skye into her bedroom.

“How do I solve this math problem?” she demanded.

Astra was the only teenager Skye had ever met who would drag her mother out of her own birthday party to do math homework, but she helped her all the same.

“Do you mind if I ask, what were things like in Desert Valley?” Europa asked Barish. She found it interesting that the Alien refugees looked to him as their leader when he was a Human.

“When I realized I was pregnant, with an Alien child of course, I hid it. The moment it was discovered, I had to choose - my child or the life I had known until then. I chose Constance, and we ended up in a barracks with all the other Aliens of Desert Valley. I had never really understood how terribly Aliens were treated until then - I had never met one before, because they had been separated from us for so long. But this is not a conversation for a celebration.”

Europa wanted to urge Barish to continue but she knew better than to push him.

“It’s so nice to meet new people,” Sisko said to Charlotte, “A Human woman handing out at an Alien party. I haven’t seen such a thing for decades.”

“It’s quite the common site here,” Charlotte assured him.

Skye’s birthday and the arrival of the refugees was quite the success.
