Warnings: Linked image is of a weird animal statue with a transparent womb, so... that's a thing. Otherwise none!

Do you have any idea how long I have to keep this on my desk for 'observation'? I know the child isn't moving (I checked the security cameras!) but it's making me imagine things when it's in the corner of my eye.

... does anybody who bought something cuter from Things of Beauty want to swap?

[ And then another new post after a few minutes, because Romelle has not yet gotten the hang of post editing: ]

Also can someone please explain what "pogge" (I think) means? I thought I had adjusted to Earth language well enough, but these videos might as well be speaking Snakurlan.

Maybe a beverage that is so tasty you could just 'chug' it? Is that chuggy? Knowing how... whimsical people "online" are, I am likely mistaken...

But really? Cute? You should elaborate on that, maybe I can change my perspective!

[cacophonish]

i dont know it seemed like it wasnt a good thing

[ ...LIGHTBULB MOMENT. ]

wait hey maybe your onto something! maybe its like a drink thats SO BAD that you have to chug it just to get it over with!

[ BINGO. They're totally decoding netspeak now. (Is it even called netspeak anymore?) ]

and yeah cuz its like a mom and her baby. i mean yeah ok its a weird alien rat mom and her weird alien rat baby but
i dont know
its peaceful

maybe i just miss my mom

[ And so he's projecting on a creepy figurine. As one does. ]

[ This sounds logical to Romelle - she's just nodding at her screen vigorously, as if her conversation partner could actually see it.

.... aaaaand then it takes a turn for the sad. Romelle glances back at the figurine and wonders if... mole rats (??) feel maternal emotions.]

I miss my mother as well.

This mother is extremely creepy and the transparancy is worrisome, but at least nobody will take her child away from her.

Has your mother passed away?

[cacophonish]

nah my moms still alive. its just... being here. i don't know if i'll ever get to see her again

makes me think about all those time i shouldve called or visited but didnt cuz i had so much of my own stuff going on

so you and your mom are close?

[romelle]

Ah! That is joyful news though! I am sure you'll be able to return and reconnect properly, in time.

My mother and I were rather close, but she left us many many decaphoebs ago. Goodbyes are very common where I am from, but they are always painful.
