Has Sera told you about her wormholes? It seems... Noteworthy

Wait, wormholes? No, she hasn't said anything about that at all, that's definitely something I should look into though. It could be really really useful because I've been trying to work on that technology for fucking forever now, and I've gotten pretty good, but even when it does go well there's so many complications. I've been electrocuted like four times while working on it

[tord-norman]

Is Tord treating you alright, Sera?

Yes, he's treated me very well and made sure I'm well taken care of, they even set me up a bed so I can stay the night sometimes if I need to

Matt has been very nice to me as well! He gave me a bunch of jewelry and has been working on making some just for me, so I am very happy about that

You don't have to worry about me spending so much time here, I like them quite a lot

[tord-norman]

Who’s your favorite kitten?

honestly I like the little orange one because she bites the fuck out of Tom lmao

[tord-norman]

I am secretly very much hoping for lightning (it was my idea)

Name the gray one smudge lol

Ok so we've been talking about it and the top contenders for the grey kittens name are

Neptune,

Smudge,

And lightning

Ringo seems to definitely favor Neptune and I'm ultimately leaving it up to her since they're her babies, so I think that's what it's gonna be

[tord-norman]

Please do-and since I know you’ll try it again, please pick a more closed off area darling

I don’t need things suddenly clattering down around the house-you scared most of the felines half to death with the sudden silverware drawer

I’m proud the wormhole was functional-just be careful

-Truth

Alright, I'll go close off the hole then, and next time I'll try to make it so it doesn't come through from the ceiling since that seems like it may be dangerous to try to travel through anyway

[tord-norman]

SERA FIX THE WORMHOLE YOU PUT IN THE SILVERWARE DRAWER THIS INSTANT YOUNG LADY

How many times have I asked you to stop messing with that field of magic?

At least it explains why silverware rained from my ceiling a few days ago…

Anyway, I’ll be sending THAT back.

Sera, clean up your mess, Brownie and Ringo’s kits are coming!

-Truth

(Tord is currently asleep but told Sera he didn't mind if she kept working in the lab for a while)

But I have been getting much better with them, and I really do believe that this one is completely stable and should only lead straight home and back

I just thought it would make things easier, but I'll go close it if I really must

[tord-norman]

Don’t argue with me when you skipped AN ENTIRE NIGHT

I get the excitement-but you have to keep it managed, or days will become a blur before you even realize you’ve been up longer than six hours when not careful

This isn’t scolding-it’s advice from a fellow scientist

Please, just listen to your love when he tells you to sleep

-Truth

I guess that's fair enough, I don't know, Matt says I have the tendency to get obsessive about things, I do think I'm gonna rest for a little while

I think part of why I'm so frustrated about everyone telling me to sleep is because I'm irritable and tired, so that's not good

[tord-norman]

You know if Matt reads any of that he's gonna tie you to the bed, and not in a sexy way, in like a force you to stay out until you've slept for at least 8 hours way

AND THAT'S WHY HE'S NEVER GONNA READ IT

[tord-norman]

I am several hundred years old

You’re still a child compared to me-when it comes to life experience and scientific pursuits, I have far more experience

So when I ask you to sleep, you better damn well believe it’s in your own best interest to go to bed-breakthroughs DON’T happen unless you’re well rested, doesn’t matter how excited you are

Learn from me and don’t take the century’s worth of experience I had to go through instead-not worth it

-Truth

That's so stupid sometimes you have important things to do or think about and you can absolutely have breakthroughs being a LITTLE sleepy isn't going to stop that, slow you down a little MAYBE but that's it everybody has different methods

[tord-norman]

Please sleep

Pop a xanax or melatonin if you’re too excited about the possibilities of science, but it’s best to do work with good sleep

-Truth

I AM A GROWN MAN I don't need people to tell me how to take care of myself

I will sleep, but not because anybody told me too, just because it stresses me out when Matt is upset with me

So I have come to my own conclusions, that it would be the best decision right now to take a nap for a little while

[tord-norman]

Serves you right honestly, you need to get proper sleep Tord

That's what I'm trying to say! It's not healthy

I'm fine and this is important! I need to focus on work right now! I'll sleep for days if you want once I'm done with this! I just need to finish

Tord it's not that big of a deal as much as I'd like to be cured I care more about you not going crazy from sleep deprivation, have you even eaten anything since we got home?

I... Forgot. I was excited to get started...

Hm. And I'm sure that's a great sign, right?

:(

[tord-norman]

Good news for you-Ruth isn’t a snitch

Bad news, I told Matt how to win her favor before learning of that particular bad habit of yours

Sorry

-Truth

[tord-norman]

How’s Sera doing?

-Truth

She's doing good, and has been incredibly helpful so far

We haven't made any major breakthroughs regarding a curse for Matt, but we have gotten a much better understanding of what we're working with so it's an amazing start

I fell asleep in the lab last night by accident and I'm a little scared to leave because I know Matt's gonna be mad at me, so we're just gonna keep at it for a while

[tord-norman]

Tord where do you work?

I'm actually technically currently unemployed, but I prefer to say I'm my own boss

[tord-norman]

Be sure not to cut yourself on Sera’s spines-they’re venomous

She also doesn’t like people even touching them

In fact, don’t touch her at all unless she verbally consents-she’s got some mild trauma we’ve been working on

But she’s smarter than most-she knows how to navigate labs without messing things up

-Truth

Ok good thank you for the heads up! I'll be sure not to touch her unless I have explicit permission

And I definitely appreciate that she has the understanding to not mess anything up, that's the whole reason Edd isn't allowed in my lab (Tom isn't allowed in because I think it's funny to exclude him) obviously I still have them in the security system so entering the lab wouldn't hurt them, I just don't let them in

[tord-norman]

Sera will be by in the morning then-be respectful, and don’t use her as a lighter

-Truth

Of course of course, please don't worry I promise I'll be very respectful

[tord-norman]

Dog, cat, or miniature dragon shaped? Vampirism is a required part in the education of familiars, so there’s a few options for forms when it comes to the ones who are passionate about the subject

~Truth

OBVIOUSLY DRAGON WHAT THE FUCK? I like dogs and cats as much as the next guy, maybe a little bit less, and Ringo has my heart of course, but a fucking dragon???

Yes please I'd like to see that one
