What are your families like?

Just curious. I mean, I guess most of us must have them.

[ casual socializing? on MY network? it's more likely than you think! ]

can confirm i do have one
back home i lived with my mom and dad
dad is japanese
he grew up somewhere in tokyo
but he went to college in america
which is where he met my mom
moms side of the family has been in the states since
gosh i wanna say the 1800s or so?
like pre civil war
so theyre a little bit of everything

[redwinekindofgirl]

That's cool.
I don't know much about my family history. I guess Europe with the blonde hair and everything.

Do you like them?

[livingdeadgirl]

oh! thats your natural color?
i didnt know that haha neat

[ "Do you like them," though... It's sort of an unusual question, but Ami can understand why she might be asking it. ]

i do
you might even say i love them!
and i miss them a lot
how about you julie
whats your family like?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Dead.

[Maybe that was a little blunt.]

My dad died last year.
My mom is

complicated.

[livingdeadgirl]

oh no
im sorry

[ Given what she knows about Julie's homeworld, though... ]

by complicated
i am guessing you mean
neither living nor dead?

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah.
I only found out recently.
I thought she died years ago.

[livingdeadgirl]

wow yeah
i can see how that might make things uh
awkward

[ "Complicated" is right. Not that long ago, she'd have figured being a zombie was basically the same as being dead, in terms of what it does to your relationships. But she's recently found out that a friend of hers right here in Anchor is undead, too, and he's just like a normal person most of the time. (Well, maybe "normal" is too strong a word.) ]

this may be sort of a personal question
so if you want me to stop just let me know
i just ask because i am unfamiliar with your worlds zombie rules

was she like
still in there?

[redwinekindofgirl]

[Oof. That's a hell of a question.]

I don't know.
I want to believe that she is... but she's

She's really far gone.
