tiny maitimo and tiny ves try to solve some problems that are objectively above their pay grade
Permalink

On one particular Wednesday Karen Tiu has a coworker out (sick? dead?) and is responsible for scheduling ten meetings and printing and delivering a stack of legal briefs and rebooking an afternoon of meetings in two conference rooms because they've been claimed by the science team (ideally located for summonings, apparently) and then clearing out the closets of those conference rooms because the science team complains they are unusable - full of junk that's interfering with the calibration on their summonings.

 

It is quite apparent that the summonings have been badly calibrated, because now this conference room has half of a demon (the left half) and the horns of a demon from an entirely different species and a swiss-cheese corpse that might have been human.

"Are you sure."

"I guess some water would be nice."

Maitimo is given water. 

She gets started making dinner.

Permalink

He closes his eyes and sits down on the floor and sings and reads her mind.

Permalink

She is mostly wondering whether she's just going to go into work literally every day forever with sinking dread in her stomach around the idea that her twice-kidnapped child will be found and all of them will be killed. Also the water was definitely just him trying to make her feel better or trying to give the correct answer to the question, but water is important and maybe if he gets things he wants when he asks for them he will feel OK talking about any other stuff he needs.

Awww man deceiving people is difficult. He will have to get better at it so Karen is not sad. 

He sings the dust out of his clothes because they're really getting pretty grubby.

Permalink

Karen is of the opinion that tiny children should stop trying to deceive her so that she stands any chance at all of properly taking care of them. 

She serves them all food and asks if anybody wants to play a game or watch a movie or something after dinner.

"That sounds fun!"

Permalink

"Movie or game?" She's kind of unclear on how he's going to participate with his eyes shut tight but whatever.

Permalink

Oops maybe he should've asked what they were before expressing that they sounded fun. "What movies are there?"

Permalink

"Uh, a lot of stories you've never heard of, I guess. We have a bunch of animated movies and some ones with spaceships and some documentaries about dinosaurs and space and history and some that are funny and some that are mostly, like, adventure stuff?"

Permalink

"I like dinosaurs and I don't know very much about spaceships."

Permalink

"Preference for either?"

Permalink

"Depends how cool spaceships are. Zana how cool are spaceships."

Permalink

"Spaceships are BASICALLY THE COOLEST but dinosaurs are also really cool so it depends on the movie. Star Trek and Star Wars are good but 2001 is mostly boring even though it has a spaceship."

Permalink

"Are there any movies with spaceships and dinosaurs?"

Permalink

"I don't think so. There should be."

Permalink

"Well maybe we can watch spaceships tonight but one of the good spaceships ones and then we can watch dinosaurs tomorrow since I have seen them before."

Permalink

The first Star Wars movie is proooobably not going to traumatize any smols? Star Trek IV is probably better on that front but it does have decidedly fewer spaceships.

She'll just put in A New Hope and let everybody know that they can always stop the movie and play Uno if anybody thinks it's too scary.

Permalink

It is not obvious that the tiny child is getting anything out of it but he does not seem scared.

Permalink

OK, well, good enough. She snuggles Zana and watches the movie.

Permalink

Movies are apparently a thing where pictures of people pretending to be other people flash very fast on a screen and tell a story. It's sort of like plays except since it's just lots of still pictures it's not quite as good. It is very violent but his parents would be okay with him watching it because they'd want to know how spaceships work.

 

He tries to giggle when Zana does but not every time as that'd probably be obvious.

Zana honestly cheers more than she laughs. Also she comments on everything everyone does. She is a very engaged movie viewer.
