[When the mirror turns on, Eleanor sighs, looking off to the side towards the window. She hates this but people should know.]

Mrs. Brisby went home. She's with her kids, though, instead of risking her tail in this place. So, uh, that's good, at least. I, uh, just wanted to let everyone know.

[She sets the mirror down, thinking she turned it off. It catches another sigh and her sadly muttering.]

Another roommate gone... figures...

[creepyoldguy]

Aw, shit, I knew most moms sucked!

[Maybe it was a 50/50 split...]

I get that.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Yours, too?

[That... Didn't make her feel better. She sighed.]

Sometimes I wonder if I'd have turned out differently if I had a mom who cared.

[creepyoldguy]

She’s an alcoholic demon, and didn’t want kids/didn’t know she could have kids.

[Shrug. It’s cool. Right? Not that far from the norm, surely?]

Surprise!

[Jazz hands]

Eh, what-ifs will drive you frickin nuts. Embrace that emotional trauma!

[az_shrimp_horny]

Almost same here. Except for the demon part.

[She snorted.]

I dunno about embracing it, but I'm not running away from it anymore. That's something.

[creepyoldguy]

Probably the only difference is yours couldn't fly into a supernatural rage and use you as target practice. Probably. I'm not entirely clear on some of the things breathers do and do not do.

[He nodded with a shrug.]

Hey, that is one step closer to embracing the hell outta it.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Nah. She killed my dog, though.

[Through negligence but still...]

But yeah no she never hit me or anything, she just didn't give a shit.

[creepyoldguy]

...well that's pretty awful even by demonic standards.

[He hummed. The closest he'd had to pets were his own clones.]

[az_shrimp_horny]

That's reassuring... Yeah she left him in a hot car too long.

[She sighed. Great memories of her mother making everything about her in the end. ]

[creepyoldguy]

...did she ever do that to you?

[He was dead serious.]

[az_shrimp_horny]

No!

[.....]

Maybe...

I mean, I didn't die!

[creepyoldguy]

Kinda thought as much.

Mine left me on Saturn once.

[az_shrimp_horny]

......


Wait, how the fuck does that even work?!

[creepyoldguy]

She drew a door from the Netherworld.

Oh, uh, Saturn is “Sandworm land”. Full of the monstrous worms that eat ghosts and demons.

She dragged me back before too long. A few hours at most.

[az_shrimp_horny]

That's so terrifying and wrong on so many levels. But... wait is it like the literal planet Saturn or just some other place you guys call Saturn?

[creepyoldguy]

The planet. The living just ignore the more interesting bits.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Wait... so there's a door to Saturn? [She's so confused]

[creepyoldguy]

She's a powerful demon, she can draw doors to the Upperworld and Saturn and back to the Netherworld if she happened to be in one of the other two.

[He doesn't add that Juno is more powerful than him.]

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Eleanor whistles, shaking her head.]

That's fucking crazy. And terrifying.

[creepyoldguy]

She's the worst, what can I say?

...also if she ever shows up here, I'm relocating.

[az_shrimp_horny]

You know what... you win. My mom can't compete with that.

[creepyoldguy]

Ugh. Of all the things to win.

Welp. That's actually par for the course. And a win is a win is a win sooo----thanks!

[az_shrimp_horny]

[She laughs]

Yeah I know that feeling. As someone who usually wins shittiest parent contests, I get that. It's a shitty thing to win but, hey, it's still a win.
