Another great drabble, erika. Love the bits about the memo and The Box. I didn't know you were part Indian. Native American. Whichever.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Not really here, just popping in to ask Steph - could we have a "last time" challenge (to bookend the "first time" one) eventually?

Always Anti-fascist!
My grandfather was half Muskegon(Creek) Polter-Cow. When you get into eighths though it doesn't come up that much. But I am a direct descendant which is different from trying to get into a sweat lodge from three generations back...or thinking I'm a reincarnated shaman princess or something.

Ah yes, the dreaded Cherokee princess syndrome. I can relate to having a heritage that doesn't show up in your phenotype from the opposite side--people who guess my ancestry always guess Irish, Indian, or both. I think if you actually parsed out all my ancestry, I'd be at least half Scots-Irish, but that's Not The Same Thing At All, and I only recently discovered that I do in fact have the usual dollop of Indian blood (Creek, too) that makes lots of Southerners claim the Cherokee princess thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm 100% West Indian. So there.

I'm a mutt. And mutts are less crazy than pure-breds. So there. Though pure-breds do have the sexy walks.

You betcha! It's been marked. I'm trying to use people's suggestions in the order that they were made, though probably nobody but me remembers who made suggestions when.
