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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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.

I'm very sorry, Cashmere. Hoping for the best possible outcome.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Cash, I'm so sorry. I hope that it's easy treatable.
