00:04 <PrincessRainbows> hopefully it doesn't lock up again
00:14 <PrincessRainbows> it can't handle the power it seems, sadly
00:16 * PrincessRainbows grabby hooves at Lumindia too
00:16 <PrincessRainbows> I'll just compile on mine and copy it over
00:19 * Lumindia pets Rainbows
00:23 * PrincessRainbows claps her hooves and licks Lumindia a bit

00:55 * Schism shaves. And then drags a pair of tissues across her throat for the rest of the evening.
01:00 * Alice cracks her wrist continuously for about a minute.
01:03 * Schism is put in mind of a cement mixer.
01:05 <Alice> Because of the excessive force I applied to this wrist on a regular basis during my college years, I can effectively make the wrist crack and pop continuously for however long I want. And it's loud. And mildly disturbing for my parents.
01:06 <Alice> When I do it, my parents tell me to stop it.
01:06 <Schism> Just a tad disturbing, yes.
01:06 <Alice> I'd need an x-ray to verify, but I'm almost certain that most of my wrist bones are in pieces and free-floating.
01:06 <Schism> I'm slightly double-jointed, too.
01:08 <Alice> Alas, I'll never know what's up.
01:08 <Alice> There's no reason to get the hand and wrist x-rayed.
01:10 <Schism> Hum. Going to need to set up a few vegetables et al. for tonight's pad thai...

01:11 <Alice> Also, it's causing foot buzzing.

01:17 <Alice> The only reason it's never amoxicillin first is usual progression of medications for chest-related stuff.
01:18 <Alice> Azithromycin is usually used first because it targets most lung/chest-related infections.
01:18 <Alice> Amoxicillin is used as a followup if needed.

01:26 * Alice stuffs Schism into a container, shoves the container onto her back, and being travelling. On foot. To Nunavut.
01:59 * Schism escapes, and rolls down a mountainside, going 'wheeee~'
02:00 <Alice> That has actually happened to me on occasion.
02:01 <Schism> I am comparatively hairless now, as it happens. This is a positive.
02:03 <Alice> Same. Only spots I haven't done are my arms and my back. My back, because honestly I can't reach it, and my arms because well, I don't think it'd look right?
02:04 <Schism> Easy to do the left arm! Right arm... u.
02:04 <Schism> um.*

02:06 <Alice> Less that, and more just, I'm pretty sure even women have hair on their arms. :P
02:07 <Schism> Well, yes.
02:07 <Alice> Also, if I'm being honest, I'm kinda terrified to shave my right arm, due to my cat.
02:08 <Alice> I don't want to see how many permanent scars I have on my right arm.
02:08 <Alice> Or see just how bad the damage actually is.
02:09 <Schism> Spitfire, sniffing at the arm, and deciding, "This isn't the arm I'm used to!!!"
02:09 <Schism> And then attacking it even more.
02:09 <Alice> More or less.

02:10 * Schism may or may not have picked up some
02:10 <Schism> Ahem. Shaving gel, rather than cream.
02:10 <Alice> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgDYr6EXkAEGCsE?format=jpg&name=large I mean, c'mon. Do you really want to see what's under that hair more clearly?
02:10 <Schism> Alice, mine's not too far removed.
02:11 <Schism> Have I not shown you the scar I got from a broomstick some years back?
02:11 <Alice> I believe so.
02:13 <Alice> In any case, I guess it could be worse. Shaving my chest revealed a nightmare.
02:14 <Schism> I have to wonder...
02:14 <Schism> More cat scars?
02:14 <Alice> No.
02:14 <Alice> It looks like acne, more than anything else.
02:15 <Alice> I'm starting to suspect that the oily film all over my skin is causing problems.
02:16 <Alice> Unfortunately, there's no way to stop it. It comes back as quickly as I wash it.
02:16 <Alice> I also suspect it's why Tizzy licks me all the time.
02:32 <Alice> Buddy, stop rubbing your cheeks up against my laptop.
02:32 <Schism> Alice: This is... about how I'd react. http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/12/11/episode-490-going-up/
02:33 <Schism> "...huh."
02:34 <Alice> Heh.
02:34 <Alice> Me, I'd go "So who do I report this bug to?"
02:35 <Schism> I'd first go, "Okay, what steps are necessary to reproduce it?"
02:37 <Alice> That's seconday to "Who do I report this bug to?" Why bother with the reproducing part if you have no one to report it to, outside of abusing it for scientific reasons and fun.
03:02 <PinkieShy> ... Dad tried to call me but kept getting "All circuits are busy"
03:02 <Alice> Network overload does happen.
03:02 <PinkieShy> Yee

05:54 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
05:55 <RazorSharpFang> Good morning
05:56 <RazorSharpFang> I traded my first option yesterday.
05:56 <ConfusionRift> Huzzah(?).
05:57 <RazorSharpFang> I sold a cash-covered put against AT&T
05:59 * PrincessRainbows looks up at ConfusionRift with teary eyes and grabby hooves
05:59 * ConfusionRift grabbies PrincessRainbows and pets.
06:00 * PrincessRainbows tears up and whimpers, sigh
06:06 <ConfusionRift> It's been one of those days.
06:13 <PrincessRainbows> you mean life
06:14 <Schism> RSF: Shorting AT&T? Whyfor a put option against a telecom in this day and age?
06:17 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, I sold a cash-covered put. That is not shorting the stock.
06:17 <RazorSharpFang> If the price of the telecomm drops a lot, I will get assigned shares.
06:17 <Schism> Hm. It's pretty close. It implies a dip in stock price due to circumstances, whereupon you purchase -- yeah.
06:18 <RazorSharpFang> I am not rooting for its price to drop like a short-seller would.
06:18 <RazorSharpFang> I am instead, betting on its price not falling significantly until the contract expires.
06:19 <Schism> Though if it dips and bounces, you still make a profit...
06:19 <RazorSharpFang> I got paid in premium regardless of whether the order gets exercised or not.
06:20 <RazorSharpFang> If the order does get exercised, guess what I'm going to do?
06:20 <Schism> Well, one way or another, AT&T isn't likely to drop for too long. And I dunno, exercise another?
06:20 <RazorSharpFang> I will sell a covered call against the shares now in my position.
06:21 <Schism> Such that if it rises a bit... hmm. That works.
06:21 <RazorSharpFang> With a strike price above what I ended up paying for those shares. If that exercises, then I profit. If it doesn't, I keep the premium and I profit.
06:22 <RazorSharpFang> I only end up in a problem if the shares fall hugely AFTER I get assigned. But that's a problem if you own shares in general.
06:22 <Schism> Yeah, and I'm having a hard time imagining AT&T's shares dropping precipitously.
06:22 <RazorSharpFang> That is why the premium wasn't very much on that transaction.

06:30 <Schism> Depends on what stock you're looking at, of course.
06:30 * PrincessRainbows grabs her pacifer and snuggles with Ali
06:30 * Schism hugs the Ali, and noses her ears, then provides some peanut brittle.
06:31 <RazorSharpFang> Schism, also, because 1 option is for 100 shares, the amounts can add up really quickly
06:32 <Schism> Well, that's what you get with the stock market.

07:43 <Schism> This one comic always cracks me up. http://www.ainself.net/irony/get_medieval/get_medieval0804.gif
07:44 <Schism> Perfectly reasonable, too. 14th-century Frenchman is on the moon. He wants answers.
07:44 * Ali sits on Schism and sads harder
07:44 * Schism hugs the Ali. :< Would be playful, but... is vacillating between sleepy and hyperalert.
07:45 <RazorSharpFang> I suppose suddenly being on a different planetary object warrants some sort of explanation
07:46 <ConfusionRift> When you teleport someone from another age period, and your ship starts acting up.
07:46 <Schism> Well, not teleport. They had to make an emergency escape.
07:46 <Schism> Sometimes, though, cutting the knot is fairly simple. http://www.ainself.net/irony/get_medieval/get_medieval0807.gif
07:47 <ConfusionRift> All this looks familiar, like a plot from a mov- actually, a lot of movies have done this in some way I suppose.
07:49 <Schism> It's all very silly. The comic _is_ quite good, if you take the time to read it.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> Something I rarely do, because I'm a fool. (thuds)
07:54 <Schism> And this is one of the most touching ones in the whole run. So much that she had it coloured. http://www.ainself.net/irony/get_medieval/get_medieval0817c.gif
07:54 <ConfusionRift> I'm starting to feel like I'm really that guy who has the instructions manual in their hands, throws it away, and then starts yelling to the sky because nothing makes sense.
07:55 <ConfusionRift> ...
07:56 <ConfusionRift> This just jolted something on the back of my head. Not sure from where, but it had a similar message.
07:56 <Schism> Strangely, I'm the girl who looks at a disassembled anything and realizes just how the parts fit together. I have this weird thing for systems.
07:57 <ConfusionRift> Reverse engineering?
07:57 <Schism> Amongst other things. It seems to apply to linguistics and computing, too.
07:57 <ConfusionRift> That's kinda how I got around the user manual. :P
07:57 <Schism> More pointedly, I grok how things _don't_ fit.
07:58 <ConfusionRift> That... wow. I guess I'm not alone.
07:58 <ConfusionRift> The feeling when something that's supposed to fit somewhere doesn't fit anymore.
07:58 <Schism> You too, huh? Like if something isn't quite right, it's like a sour note in a symphony.
07:59 <ConfusionRift> And then after finagling for hours, it suddenly fits, and it's no longer a victory, now you're even more upset because you have no clue what changed.
07:59 * Ali faceplants and muffled screams.
07:59 * Schism curls around the Ali.
08:00 <ConfusionRift> 0_0
08:00 <ConfusionRift> ...I hope I didn't start something.
08:01 <Ali> No...just this back and forth bs from the media
08:01 <Ali> Can do this, but can't do that, but oh wait we were wrong you can do that, but don't cause we say so
08:01 <Schism> Uersdgxcbh. *keysmash*
08:01 <ConfusionRift> Oh... that... yeah. I feel ya.
08:02 <Schism> Also, I'm not... quite that way... I still get a sense of pleasure from recognizing how something works.
08:02 <Schism> Even if it's in a bass-ackwards manner.
08:02 <Schism> And even fixing up such a system is a positive. Kind of euphoric.
08:02 <Ali> I mean you can have stupid races and sports with 25% of people, but hell if you want to get together to play a dang game, that's a no no and can get you fined.
08:03 <ConfusionRift> IF they feel like giving you a fine.
08:03 <Ali> Its the threat of a fine that upsets me
08:03 <Schism> Ali: Ughhh. It's not hard to keep a card game sensible, either.
08:04 <Ali> They want to punish you with a 1k fine for no mask. Such a criminal behavior...
08:04 <ConfusionRift> That's the thing. I know that exact feeling. I wouldn't risk it, because I KNOW my luck. And my luck dictates I would get fines.
08:05 <Ali> Crime is running rampant here and if they care about enforcing that stupid fine over the 20 people a day getting killed by other means, then priorities are in the wrong dang place
08:05 <ConfusionRift> There was a hag complaining about her "badly assembled" bike, and she was at it for hours... WITHOUT A MASK!!!
08:06 <Ali> I'm wearing a mask out cause I have to, I don't like it though.
08:07 <ConfusionRift> I have to wear one throughout my shift. So almost a whole 8 hours. Oh, and when I walk to/from work. So add another hour.
08:07 <Ali> And I bet its a pain in the butt to breathe in as well
08:07 <Ali> I had a panic attack at the store when I had that thing on, I felt like I couldn't breathe at all.
08:08 <ConfusionRift> Not really. I guess I got used to that. The problem is I'm constantly breathing hot air, so it's a puddle of sweat on my face.
08:08 <Ali> It wasn't the mask that caused it, its cause I've been desensitised to large groups of people and I got very uncomfortable.
08:08 <ConfusionRift> And it gets worse when it's really hot, and overly crowded.
08:09 <ConfusionRift> 25%, my flank.
08:09 <ConfusionRift> If I can't walk anywhere without bumping on someone, that is NOT 25% capacity.
08:11 <ConfusionRift> I have just grown to hate the locals even more.
08:11 <Schism> The other day I had the unending joy of having someone breathing down my neck at the grocery. No mask. No gloves. Just standing right there, and I took a shower *immediately* after getting home, because what the HELL.
08:12 *** Quits: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-c37bqa.dynamic.sonic.net) (Connection closed)
08:12 <ConfusionRift> I would have elbowed them. The criminal scum.
08:12 <Schism> I should have simply turned on them and shouted, "Back the (#$* off."
08:13 <Ali> I just feel like the media is making this 200% worse than it is
08:13 <Schism> Ali, it's a plague. If anything, the media is downsizing it.
08:13 <Schism> And making it worse thereby.
08:13 <Ali> Schism, they just reported on 'dining out' is a bad thing
08:13 <Ali> I've been eating out for like months, not infected yet.
08:13 <Ali> But I'm just gonna stop here before I just piss everyone off.
08:14 * Ali curls back up under her rock.
08:14 * Schism hugs Ali. "It sucks. Seriously, seriously sucks, to be limited in interactions and everything else."
08:15 <ConfusionRift> The media needs to shut the **** up. The only thing they have been doing concentrating in the first word of mouth, instead of actually giving the real factual thing.
08:15 <Ali> What interactions? I have like one a week now.
08:15 <Ali> I still don't have a replacement company for the other spot, and there's nobody looking to help.
08:16 <ConfusionRift> I just get bad interaction. They are part of the job, out of my control, and many times spiral into madness for no reason whatsoever.
08:16 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh. That problem is still ongoing. Especially with the messes going on.
08:17 * ConfusionRift hears his phone. "Oh... shift changes. Here we go."
08:19 <Schism> Got an interesting shift bid... I work tomorrow, and then I have a day off. And then ... 2:15-11:15.
08:20 <ConfusionRift> Nothing beats the good ol' 3pm-12am from Black Fridays.
08:20 * ConfusionRift pukes in sarcasm.
08:20 <Ali> Sometimes I feel like I'm discarded trash, nothing to worry about here, this pony is useless anyway.
08:21 <RazorSharpFang> Oh. Our base has entirely run out of coal
08:21 <Ali> I haven't touched MP Factorio in I don't know how long now...
08:21 <Ali> I just...can't play alone on bug worlds..
08:22 <RazorSharpFang> I've been on for about an hour on weekdays.
08:22 <ConfusionRift> Last we were doing some aggressive takeover north.
08:24 <Ali> Like I said, the last thing I was on for was watching RazorSharpFang make a 12 lane balancer and being useless.
08:24 <ConfusionRift> Okay, here's a question. Would you prefer 32 hours spread into smaller shifts through the week, or 4 solid 8-hour shifts each week?
08:24 <RazorSharpFang> In what context?
08:26 <ConfusionRift> Shifts, as in work. Don't matter what it is. Just your job or a specific work. The limit is 32 hours per week.
08:26 <RazorSharpFang> I often work more than 40 hours a week
08:27 <ConfusionRift> ...okay. Is it 40 hours through out the whole week non-stop, or is with specific shifts comprising of 40 hours total?
08:28 <RazorSharpFang> Monday to Friday at least 8 hours each day
08:31 <ConfusionRift> Okay. So you got technically solid shifts. Since I'm a part-timer, I can't work more than 32 (by Walmart standards, and technically state). So I either could get the shifts spread through the week, giving me two days off, or have four 8-hour shifts with three days off.
08:31 <RazorSharpFang> I work full-time.
08:32 * ConfusionRift sighs. "...never mind."
08:33 <RazorSharpFang> It has been really good so far though.
08:33 <ConfusionRift> It hasn't for me. It's about working with brain dead associates AND customers.
08:34 <Ali> Tis the pain of retail
08:34 <ConfusionRift> Apparently, they only care about this madness when they feel like it.
08:35 <RazorSharpFang> I'm IT Support for my local branch, as well as primarily being a programmer. I occasionally help out with accounts payable, accounts receivable, incoming calls, purchasing and field-service.
08:37 <RazorSharpFang> I've worn many hats.
08:38 <ConfusionRift> I guess I'm a... Paintables Colorization Technician... okay, I deal with paints. And, of course, work on the hardware area. Mostly closing, so it usually comprises of clearing, organizing, and detailing said area.
08:38 <ConfusionRift> Customer service is the major thing, but that can go from leading to an item, to an ordeal of several hours.
08:39 <RazorSharpFang> Depends on the customer
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Yyyyeeeeeep.
08:41 <ConfusionRift> I feel I'm the only person in the whole store who can operate and maintain that paint machine properly.
08:42 <RazorSharpFang> A paint machine?
08:42 <ConfusionRift> the paint tinting machine.
08:44 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know that one
08:44 <ConfusionRift> https://florma.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/eureka-32-low-new-1.jpg
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Just not as clean or new.
08:45 <Schism> Disgaea series... Atlus, why is Disgaea 3 not on Steam?
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Because Sony has a hold of it it seems.
08:45 <Schism> Frustrating.
08:46 <Schism> Oh well. I've played the series enough that I can provide the devs with my money now, so that I don't have to keep feeling obligated.
08:46 <ConfusionRift> You know what's also frustrating? The fact they released remade and updated versions of 1-2, and they're Playstation only.
08:46 <Schism> Furfhghl.
08:47 <ConfusionRift> The "complete" versions on PC are just ports.
08:47 <ConfusionRift> Well, with some updating.
08:47 <Schism> Atlus are at least somewhat reasonable... I guess?
08:49 <ConfusionRift> https://media.playstation.com/is/image/SCEA/disgaea-1-complete-screen-01-ps4-us-19apr18?$MediaCarousel_Original$
08:50 <Schism> The character models do look rather nice. (especially Flonne's.)
08:51 <ConfusionRift> Better spriting, clearer interface, better sound quality, and I believe they left the regional changes alone.
08:53 <ConfusionRift> It's upsetting, because the PC version looks and sounds like a version between the original and the PS4 Complete version.
08:55 <Schism> Mayhap sometime in the future, they'll update the PC version, once SONY let them go. ._.
08:55 <ConfusionRift> NIS! The heck are you doing?!
08:55 <Schism> Oh well, at $4 a game for Disgaea and Disgaea 2, I suppose I can consider it all right.
08:56 <ConfusionRift> HAH! It took a lot for them to release there grip on MH.
08:57 <ConfusionRift> After they did, they got petty, and tried to make their own version of MH.
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Also... really? $4?!
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Pfft, go for it! NIS don't like to lower their value, herherher.
09:00 <Schism> Eh. Even if it's just a port of the old PS2 version, that's still a good price for a lot of game.

09:07 <ConfusionRift> Blarg...
09:11 <ConfusionRift> I'll make my own Disgaea,, with blackjack, and succubi!
09:12 <Schism> You know, there are worse options than just making one's own game.
09:14 <Alice> And a Disgaea game is not exactly difficult to make, from a technical perspective.
09:14 <ConfusionRift> I can only picture Laharl being angry, going "What do you mean we're under contract?! If the Overlord Laharl wants to be on PC, at 60 FPS, in 4K, then he will!".
09:14 <Alice> Certainly easier than real-time games, anyways.
09:15 <Schism> <Flonne> But the Dark Establishment says you can't, so... you are at 15 FPS, on 320x240! <Laharl> WHAT?! *boop*
09:15 * ConfusionRift looks at RPG Maker. " I could twist this thing into a Disgaea-like, buuuuuut not going to."
09:17 <Alice> For me, such a game is on the pile.
09:19 <ConfusionRift> I should just finally finish the projects I got. But I keep coming from work with no inspiration, and the couple of days off I tend to give to... others...
09:22 <ConfusionRift> There are other reason, but not gonna discuss them.
09:27 <Alice> Righty-o then, back to Pajama Man Sam: The Delivery Man.
09:30 <ConfusionRift> Oh, walking simulator? :P

11:48 <Lumindia> *angry miqo'te noises for some reason*
11:54 <Alice> You alright?
11:54 <Lumindia> iunno
11:56 * Alice dresses Lumindia up as Baron Baldric and sends him off to the Lazarine Towers to rid them of monsters. Absolutely NO ONE will get this reference.
11:57 <Lumindia> you're right, I don't. xD
11:58 <Alice> A game by the name of Mystic Towers, for that old OS, DOS.
11:58 <Alice> Isometric game, you wander through rooms of various towers, killing monsters, solving puzzles, and blowing up reactors.
11:59 <Lumindia> *looks it up* Oh that game... I saw the TAS of it very briefly
11:59 <Alice> Yeah.
11:59 <Alice> That's what brought it back for me.
11:59 <Alice> I played the hell out of the demo.
11:59 <Lumindia> !link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Doh51kRb6Mg
11:59 <DerpyBot> I need to ask Twilight about that one.
11:59 <DerpyBot> Twilight told me this video is about [TAS] DOS Mystic Towers by slamo in 10:16.06
11:59 <Alice> Er, shareware version*
11:59 <Alice> Because back then, demos were called shareware.
11:59 <Lumindia> I mean, back in the day... yeah
12:03 <Alice> Right, back to being stranded in death.

13:11 * Schism also passes Alice some string cheese.
13:13 <Alice> <Me> "Right, I'm gonna go lay down upstairs, where I can do my laying down without bothering people. By snoring." <Dad> "Who was snoring?"
13:20 * Lumindia smothers Schism with hugs
13:20 <Lumindia> o vo
13:24 <Schism> I am bemused this morning, as it happens.
13:24 <Schism> An elderly gentleman at the grocery store, due to my long hair, called me 'miss', and upon his stammered corrections, I didn't have the heart to let him know that he was right the first time. I just let him know that I didn't mind one whit.
13:28 <Lumindia> haha

14:32 <Tirek> Schism, I haven't. No offense to him, but the way Strife talks bores me. So I've been waiting for the VOD so I can watch it at 2x speed.
14:33 <Schism> Fair enough. I think that's going to be on Youtube shortly, if it hasn't been posted yet. Some interesting game features and a good view of the story mode.
14:34 <Tirek> I was a mod on their discord server for a time, and I've been heavily spoiled on a few things, so even if I don't watch it, I'm probably not missing anything.
14:34 <Schism> Eh, the biggest highlight of the stream was +5 Casino Zone.
14:34 <Tirek> Of course.
14:35 <Schism> To be sure, it looks like a very fun area.
14:35 * Schism goes to do more of her laundry.
14:44 * Finwe cooks beef Stroganoff.
14:45 * Schism offers Finwe some of her pork pad thai in exchange for some of that beef stroganoff.
14:46 * Finwe noms on the aforementioned delicacy.
14:53 * PrincessRainbows hugs Lumindia and grabby hooves
14:54 * Lumindia petpets
14:58 <Alice> When I take naps via sedative usage, I get zero rest. Meanwhile, if I sleep at "bedtime" using sedatives, I get so much rest I feel great for at least 16 hours.
14:58 <Alice> I hate my body.
14:59 <Schism> Alice: I have work in 3 hours. I have absolutely no clue how I'm going to get through the day, because I'm already flagging...
14:59 <Alice> I woke up initially at 8 PM last night. Took some seroquel to try and nap for a bit to get some more energy for the rest of the today.
15:00 <Alice> Instead, my body is acting like I didn't even sleep at all, and is exhausted right on cue as if I had woken up at 8 PM.
15:01 <Alice> I usually start tiring out at around hour 14-15 of my day. If I woke up at 8 PM, that would have been 10-11 AM. Hey, look at the clock, it's 11 AM, and I'm tired as hell.
15:01 <Alice> That nap I took did eff-all.
15:01 <Alice> And even if I didn't take any seroquel, it still wouldn't have helped. I can't nap to begin with.
15:01 <Alice> The only time my body will sleep any sooner than 14-16 hours into my day, is if I am horribly sick with say, a flu.

16:04 * Alice takes maximum seroquel dose. Twice as much as usual. She needs sleep, she is going to fucking get it. Or gods are going to start dying.

16:05 <Schism> Gods die all the time, Alice. That's just science fact.
16:05 <Alice> Okay, fine.
16:06 <Alice> Gods will die sooner than they are expected or fated to die.
16:06 * Schism lets out a loud snore as she sleeps upright.
16:06 <Schism> And fair enough.
16:08 <Alice> As for taking a double dose, I'm actually allowed to take up to 100mg, but rarely. And, to be honest, it's not like I'm my sister.
16:08 <Alice> When she wants to knock herself out, she combines 100mg of seroquel with some ativan.
16:08 <Alice> That combination usually induces anywhere from 15 to 20 hours of sleep.
16:11 <Alice> I've gotten too used to spotting my cat.
16:12 <Alice> My mother was spooked by Spitfire, who had gotten into her closet, and was resting on the second shelf, atop some folded towels and a bathmat.
16:12 <Alice> She didn't notice him for nearly a minute.
16:12 <Alice> She asks me to go take a look, myself. I walk in, see him on the shelf immediately, tilt my head sideways going "Hey there buddy, you comfy?"
16:27 * Alice codes. o3o
16:31 * Lumindia boops Alice's snoot
16:33 * PrincessRainbows makes happy little filly noises an licks Lumindia a lot
16:35 * PrincessRainbows also whinnies before more sleepies
16:35 * Alice tilts sideways from the boop, despite being booped from the front.
16:36 * Lumindia becomes small and perches on Alice's head
16:36 <Lumindia> ' w'
16:37 * Alice continues to tilt as her center of gravity changes due to the added mass.

17:44 * Schism shakes her head, and just prepares for work.
17:45 * Ali baps Lumindia more to get out of 14. 20h is a bit much.
17:45 * Ali also pulls Schism away from work, gives mare day off.
