3 things.

1. who ever told my kid something about vampires, great, thank you, well done, you can come over tonite and get her to sleep

2. do people not dance in the matrixes or are we unplugging a lot of wall flowers? do you need lessons? im not trying to be an asshole im really asking. ill really give you lessons

3. i dont do much freelancing but if your looking to have something fixed and you have 12 kids or its laundry day you can come to me, since im not an asshole

I would like lessons.

[jomi]

you got them. when are you free?
are you uncoordinated or only shy?

for scheduling purposes

[echopraxia]

Not either. I am very good dancer. If this is 1780, and Russia.

1. Is it better or worse than the time I accidentally told her about skrulls?

2. he really does give awesome lessons, I can vouch for this to anybody considering it

3. I can't wait for that Rocket guy to come shout at you

1. i dont know how to weigh "could be anything anywhere" against "sucks your blood in the dark" so lets go with "it doesnt matter anyway how do you accidentally tell a 5yo about skrulls"

2. your the best

3. your the worst

[alsohawkeye]

1. Look we've been over this, I only meant to tell her about the fun parts where they can stretch and turn into rock or fire, the "could be anything anywhere" just sort of slipped out. I helped when she couldn't sleep, didn't I??

2. I am

3. I am not, it's going to be really entertaining and we both know it

I WAS LYING.

[sfoils]

Sorry, I attended enough formal events in my Matrix to know I can't dance.

As to your conundrum with your daughter, teach her how to 'fight' the vampires: give her a flashlight, some combat moves, whatever you think it's best. Remove the threat they pose and she won't be afraid anymore.

[jomi]

anyone can dance and if you cant then it doesnt matter because people will notice a bad dancer a lot less than they notice someone hanging out acting like theyre too good for it
youll get points for trying, everyone loves points


you want me to tell my 6yo daughter she can punch a fullgrown bloodsucking monster in the face

[sfoils]

Well, I mean, that was sort of the point. If I stood by the wall, posing aloofly, someone might take pity on me and put me out of my misery.

No, but you should show her that there's nothing to be afraid of. Or at least give her some agency so she's not afraid. That's what my parents did.

[forcemageure]

1. I'm going to regret asking this, but what is a vampire exactly?

2. Is that a joke on purpose? You know. Unplugging. From the wall.

[jomi]

1. fuck if i know man. according to the kid theyre monsters that look like people but dont have any blood of their own so they have to suck it out of other people to live. maybe she mishnderstood someone's metaphor for irkalla

2. im going to say yes so i look funny for mister angry up there

[forcemageure]

Goodness. That sounds like quite a tiresome existence, doesn't it. Are you actually looking for suggestions, or is this more 'thank you, mystery friend, for robbing my entire household of sleep'?

It made me laugh, so I'm willing to go with you on this one.

Wallflowers is my guess. Even if I knew how to dance I'd still feel silly but I think it's great that you're offering.

And about the freelancing thing, I've been thinking about doing the same thing. I don't need payment, I just want to help people. Ever thought of teaming up with someone?

[jomi]

so what im hearing is that when who ever goes in and offers peopl pills or whatever symbolic shit instead of just asking if you want the truth they need to also ask if your willing to dance in public and any one who says no gets put back where they came from

[ HE'S JOKING kind of. ]

i dont know man it sounds like some one might lose it and start throwing capital letters around if we cut in on his business too much being nice

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Luke is laughing]

Maybe they don't want any new people showing them up on the dance floor.

Anyone who gets angry at someone for being nice isn't worth our time. Though it might be funny to rile him up a little.

[ex_spins462]

What style of dancing?

[jomi]

the sweaty kind with the drums

[ex_spins462]

You know any other kind?

[cestrumnocturnum]

tell her about crosses, and daylight, and that they can't enter her room without her express, most polite permission

text.

[jomi]

not sure daylight will help that much here but ill try the other things. what about crosses exactly? and is the permission thing part of it for real? it doesnt sound true and shes smart

[ambidextrosity]
