Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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.

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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Fingers crossed for your mom, Cashmere.

Yeah, the Bed-Stuy house has an extra zero on it, too.

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

What are the most pragmatic costs involved with castle living (as opposed to Castle living)? Heating sounds like a big problem, if they're vaguely "authentic", since too much of London hadn't mastered not running the pipes indoors when I left (those houses were old houses--central heating was an add on to most of them, and expecting burst pipes was an every other year thing in a city with mad mild winters (no white Christmases in 6 years!).

Can you practically not heat some rooms? No, you buy a castle, you use the rooms. Which means you furnish the rooms. Cleaning--will that be different from a modern mansion of similar square mileage? More nooky and cranny-y?

Not a home-owner, can't imagine. Every time my cube-mate talks about the shenanigans of replacing the piping from the mains to his house, I kiss my lease again.

Serious negotiations at my house tonight--Agents of SHIELD is on opposite NCIS. Perhaps I can convince Hubby to watch NCIS online tomorrow.

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

Will NCIS be available? I know CBS is parsimonious and doesn't make it easy to find even when they do.

t / not helping

It is stopping me from watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine live, in which Samberg is markedly restrained and many other people are delightful, so I may flip from NCIS to it later in the season. For now, I will use other means. I'm in that "momentum but can't remember original rationale" period with NCIS. Please let this never happen with my other old show.
