Well, you still don't need to pick on others. There are better ways to make people respect you.

...and if you're angry at me, then be angry at me. Don't take it out on others.

[fishhitler]

What if it makes me feel better? Yelling and being angry at you doesn't do me any good because you never glubbin' listen to me!

I AM AT UNI BUT I MUST TAG THIS NOW

[bubblingover]

[Fef had been looking for Meenah everywhere, she spots her from a distance and runs up to her]

Meeeeeeenah!! Stop picking on these kids, if you need money, you could of just asked me!

[remembertheroses]

[Ib tentatively returns the smile shyly, before her parents call her name to ask what she wants. Taking a moment to think it over, she places her order and receives a Pumpkin Pastry.

Without hesitation, she walks over to Antonio, trying to ignore the strange glares everyone was giving her. Her parents were a little preoccupied at the counter as they counted out the appropriate number of Sickles, and thus they didn't notice their daughter slip off to pass Antonio her snack.]

Excuse me. Here.

[He looked like he needed something to cheer him up.]

[quasistellar]

I'm listening right now. I'm trying to listen more. I can't do that if all you do is scream that you hate me once and then jump out the window to go Merlin-knows-where. Do you know how many nights I've had your gran look over your sister while I've gone out looking for you? Never have been able to find you. And that scares me.

[Constance's voice is gradually getting louder, but she doesn't seem to notice.]

It finally hit me - thanks to your gran - that you and Feferi weren't going to be young forever, that you would be gone and out of the house and I wouldn't even know you anymore. I'm trying to fix that.

[bubblingover]

[Fef has a habit of getting distracted easily and isn't watching where she is going and walks straiiiight into him.]

oh-! Hey i am sorry!!

Are you ok?

[remembertheroses]

[Ib's an alert young thing, but when it's a whole different ball game when art is involved. She's completely in a world of her own as she starts colouring in the picture with her crayons.]

[marshall_lee]

[He quirked an eyebrow right back and nodded a little. Trust him Marceline, you're not the only one with a jerk of an ex.]

Of course the books suck. They're written by wizards. Did you know wizards classify vampires as "non-wizard PART humans"? Pretty freaking dumb thing to say since we were all fully human at one time or another.
I mean, yeah, some of us are dangerous but there are quite a few who actually want to have a kinda normal life.

[eyebrows_and_twintails]

Maybe a stick would be better suited for him.

[flowerpowered]

Huh? [She blinks up at the girl.] Do you really think he'd like a stick? It might be too big for him...

eeeeee

[fishhitler]

[She stops as soon as she hears Feferi's voice. The kid's lucky...this time. She shrugs, tilting her head in consideration. She could've but...]

I didn't want to bother you for it, Fef.

[antineedlework]

You drew that?

[remembertheroses]

[A nod.]

[eyebrows_and_twintails]

[She laughs a bit.] What else would keep him from destroying everything you give him?

[fishhitler]

[Constance mightn't notice it, but Meenah sure does. Her lips curl downward into that usual sneer, hands shifting in her pockets to clench into fists before she speaks, her own voice rising.]

I was with fronds! Merlin, mum, I can take care of myself just fine! Like I've been doing for the last glubbin fourteen years! An' you know what? Suddenly invitin' him back into our lives when he had nothing to do with them in the first place? I don't want or need a dad who's never around just like my glubbin' mother!

[eternalbirthdays]

[GASP]

That's the best idea I've ever heard!

[With that, she stares deep into Amelia's eyes because ice cream is serious business]

Amelia... I think you may have been the genius all along!

[quasistellar]

Coming back looking like you'd been in who knows what kinds of fights? I can tell when a healing potion's been applied same as any witch can.

[It's right then that her voice cracks.]

...if something happened to me, and your gran wasn't there, you needed to know you had blood family out there. I should have told you sooner. That, you can completely blame on me.

[thanksforthatdad]

I go to school too, ya know? Can't exactly go to school without books and supplies. [He takes one of the books from Tobi's stack of death.] What're you gettin' so many books for? Did the required list change?

EVERYWHERE IS THE BEST PLAN.

[eternalbirthdays]

[She has no idea of who you are, but it looks like you're about to do something fun and exciting, so she's just going to run right up to you]

Hi there! Where are you going?

[nomorals]

[She looks a bit surprised by that before pursing her lips together.]

Well I guess that's what they meant at the ministry when they mentioned vampires being "outside Wizarding law". [She lowered her hands from using quotation marks.] But Merlin, talk about being complete butts.

[bubblingover]

[She mouths a 'sorry' to the kid before leading Meenah away, to where, fef had no idea at that moment.]

You are my sister, you are never going to be a bother to me! I told you a 100 times, you can come to me for things Meenah, i am always here for you!!

[Meenah she going to start lecturing you sooooon, ruuuun!]

[fishhitler]

[Oh glub, why did she have to pull out the 'if something happened to me' line? Meenah hunched her shoulders a little, now looking a bit less of an angry teenager and more unsure of herself.]

I could look after us. [No, you couldn't, Meenah.] An' nothin's gonna happen to you, mum. You'll die wrinkled and old before that.

[marshall_lee]

Vampires usually do their own thing. There aren't really rules exactly but they look out for each other. If one vampire causes trouble that could bring attention or trouble to all of them...
[He mimes the motion of slicing across his throat.]
Well okay, maybe that's exaggerating a little but they'd still bitch you out a good one.
[He looks vaguely guilty after saying all of this.]

Re: A cafe!

[cantstarvethisfire]

I don't get why everyone comes here on the first day.

[Katniss is sitting at the next table, just people watching while her mom and sister are shopping around.]

[fishhitler]

[Another lecture? Is it her birthday?? She pauses, following her twin as a small smile curled.]

But you'll leave one day, Fef. You can't keep looking after me forever. You'll have guppies of your own and a husband who I may or may not have to beat the shit out of if he ever hurt you. [Meenah shrugs.] Besides, you're my little sister, and it's gonna keep you back if I have to rely on you so much.
