[ Look who's not cranky today? Someone's enjoying the heat (though less the humidity) like any desert-born. ]

So who do I have to bribe to keep the turtle on this trajectory?

[ The remark is followed by a loud mental burst of DO NOT WANT from Emily-Helen, to which the thief laughs and amends: ]

Just for a few more months.

[ Other turtle parents or anyone the hatchlings feel like talking to may get the sense of an unhappy wail. ]

[He was probably going to know it was her in a second. Even with her recent advancement in English skills. She didn't care.]

The heat's bad for the turtles. Something you SHOULD care about.

Masochist.

[It's an idle sort of comment, half amused and half resigned and almost wholly absent as he's writing by the console with Marcy's head on his knees. Yes, she's whining. Yes, he's ignoring her.

[He's also actually dressed down to his waist-coat, and the humidity is making his curls spring up like woah.]

[raavashing]

[Wan is not pleased by the near-constant whining of the turtles and is rubbing his temples as he responds to the post.]

If you want to send Emily-Helen over my way, I can try to help keep her cool. I've been doing that with Rio'era. She's still pretty cranky, but not as much as the other Great Children have been.

Well... the 'electricity' being cut of is something I could do without. [He tries not to let it show how that kind of power is new to him, how 'electricity' is still a word he's testing.]

But I've been stationed in deserts before. It could definitely be worse. Can we actually encourage the turtle to take any specific directions?

[ruinsprofessor]

[Raine's visibly feeling the heat; she's forgone her usual jacket and she looks a little pink around the edges. Sun is not her friend.] I imagine you'd have to bribe Asti himself, but as to what he'd accept...

[She shrugs. Winces a little, glances at something over her shoulder and out of view that's probably a turtle. A few moments later she looks back.] And I rather think you'd have a small chelonian riot on your hands.

The temperature aside, however, there's something I meant to ask you. Do you know of any accessible places below the surface of the shell?

[Jackie's grinning, despite the feedback in his own head from Rio'era complaining about the weather.]

The babies don't like it, but it's just like home for me.

[NO! thinks Rio'era, and Jackie winces a little at the vehemence.]
