The Seventh Scale - [Audio]

[swordandscales]

[Someone's not feeling too great about things, After her little conversation with Cave and her confrontation with Him, She feels absolutley rotten, She's not entirely sure if she just feels lonely or just jealous of some of her friends around here and she's not entirely sure how to address it. So for now perhaps talking might help? Perhaps but

[Welp. Petitus just can't resist philosophical questions. So have a general mope responding.]

Family are things like brother, daughter, father, et cetera.

My family consists of a mother, a father, and a half-nephew. ...Or would that be two half-nephews?

[Way to go, Petitus. You answered that in a depressing way! If I were you, I would have said something like "Family are people you love" or some other cliche like that.]

Luckily, I'm not you. Anyways, just what happened with Cave and... Him? Worded a little awkward there...

[She may or may not here Petitus's mumbling clearly. We have ways of convincing her that you're not crazy.]

[Audio]

[swordandscales]

Wait, How did you know about Mr Johnson and...?

[Shakes her head a little.]

Don't tell me you can read my mind too.

[Audio]

[ininclntntwrds]

Yes, I can. Sorry. I won't do it again. It will probably make you hate me.

[Audio]

[swordandscales]

No not really, it's a little intrusive though.

[holybelldandy]

Saft? Is everything alright? [ She seems worried. ]

[swordandscales]

Oh hey Bell'

Yeah everything's fine...

Kinda...

You have family don't you, Sisters or brothers at least?

[holybelldandy]

I have two wonderful sisters. [ She can't help but to smile thinking of them. ] Urd, who is older, and Skuld who is younger. They're very dear to me.

[swordandscales]

...That must be nice.

[Her tone almost makes it sound otherwise though.]

[bigbluenose]

Family? Well, I know that my parents loved me very much.

[swordandscales]

...What-

What were they like?

[bigbluenose]

My mom was a kind person and she loved me very much. And my dad loved me too.

[swordandscales]

...Your Dad...

[She goes quiet there.]

[Audio]

[pink_resonates]

Why would that question apply more to those with relatives here or back home? Do only blood relatives count?

[Her voice is calm, if a bit concerned. She's honestly more curious as to how Saft feels about this.]

[Audio]

[swordandscales]

No it's nothing like that, Well it is...

I mean I have a family, I have my uncle and my grandfather..

I just, I see and hear about everyone else's families here and-

[She won't say it, she can't say it.]

[Audio]

[pink_resonates]

...And what?

[Honestly, if she had even an idea, she wouldn't pry. But "Family" is an unusual matter for her as well, since hers is, well the closest word for it would be "adopted".]

[Audio]

[swordandscales]

I get angry...

upset, annoyed...

and hurt.

[So much hurt Kat. Hurt like you wouldn't believe.]

[ihavearedshirt]

Hi, um, I don't know you, but I...I know a lot about families, 'cause I got a big one.

[Slouchy's not good at doing a lot of talking -especially not to those he doesn't know- but his family means a lot to him, even if he's usually quiet about it. This is important though, so he'll be happy to share.]

I think a family is smurfed of all the others who love you and care for you. I don't think you gotta come from the same stuff inside, as long as your feelings come from the same place. I mean, I dunno if my family is from the same place or not, 'cause a stork brings us all to the village. Well, 'cept for Smurfette and Sassette. They were smurfed out of magic clay. But we all love each other the same in our hearts, anyway.

And I don't think you always gotta like your family, because you can still love them without liking them.

[swordandscales]

Smurfed?

...Wait what? Don't get me wrong I'm following every part of this except for the smurf parts, What is a smurf?.

[ihavearedshirt]

...I'm a Smurf.

[swordandscales]

And what exactly does a smurf do?
