Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god damn, Cash. I hope this is as straightforward as possible.

Heard more from the Kenyan friends. The mother (my sister's university friend) had been in the mall that morning with her daughter and left because of bad vibes. Which sounds all cheesy hindsight-y, but she's been through ridiculously traumatic UN hostage training (who trains for scenarios where your hands are blown off? Simone does.). Amongst other things she saw the lights flickering in a way that felt like "human intervention" and not "third world power issues" so she grabbed her young daughter (5? 7?) and bolted.

I need to get my sleep meds switched. I think I managed to stay with my eyes closed for almost an hour formulating the call to my sleep doc, but...if 3mg of Lunesta doesn't get me through the night, my Lunesta resistance is built up and I need to switch back to Ambien. Shame my doctor is resistant to that idea, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Someone is asking $3m for a house in Jamaica???? (Jamaica, Queens.)

Holy crap, ita. I do think gut instincts are often actually training and experience.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also, god, NYC real estate makes me cry.

To be fair, those NYC apartments are (mostly) monstrously overpriced for their neighborhoods, and the cost of a $2m castle doesn't even begin to take into account the cost of owning a $2m castle.

Also after looking at the comments and the craigslist ad, I'm fairly certain at least the Jamaica house has an extra 0 on the price.

I really like how this photo from the weekend turned out.

Now tagless for your comfort.

and the cost of a $2m castle doesn't even begin to take into account the cost of owning a $2m castle.

It's the upkeep and the valets that kill you.

Because books.

The Jamaica house did seem a little suspect, I agree.

To be fair, those NYC apartments are (mostly) monstrously overpriced for their neighborhoods

Mostly! I think it's just the idea that, yeah, if you had a castle you'd have to have big bucks to heat it and live in it and all that, but the size difference is still so absurd. Even if all the NYC places were under a million!

Ann, that's a ferret.

((((Cashmere and family))))

As for ita's friend Simone, there's evidence that, when you know the field, a lot of the "gut instinct" may be subconscious reaction to the cues around you.

Oh Cashmere, I'm super sorry about your mom. You all are in my thoughts.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yeah, only suckers pay more than $1000/ft² in NYC.
