The most sincere sign of sibling love is admitting the other one is far smarter than you are. Nice.

[Not that Erin would ever say such things about her sister becuase it's objectively untrue, Erin is the cleverer one, hah. Not that the other is dumb, she just is too silly for her own good]

[ help. he laughs, though. ]

It's just the truth! She really is. She's levelheaded and smart, kindhearted, mature, good with people... She used to be really shy when we were younger, but she's grown a lot. Even though we really only get to communicate over letters, nowadays, it's still really obvious. I couldn't be more proud of her.

[ rondo LOVES his sister. ]

What's yours like, Miss Erin? Are you older or younger?

You'll be see her in person again someday. Take it from me, sometimes things reunite you when you least expect it.

[Speaking from experience there, yeah]

Younger. Shelley is a whole eleven years older than I am.

[More or less. It's hard to tell when ages are nebulous even though the characters have grown up throughout the years, but there's no doubt the age difference is of at least seven years]

Heh. I hope so. My work might take me home, sometime, soon.

[ ah... eleven years!! he nods. ]

Cordelia and I are seven years apart. What's your sister like?

[Erin winces a little. She loves her sister dearly, but there are things she doesn't love about her -- and it's Shelley's main traits]

Shelley's a wacky mess, a living circus, pretty much. But must be a very charming one, because she can get a wide circle of people around her. She's a children's book author and got filthy rich with that, somehow.

If she were here I'm sure she'd have dragged half of the town into some wild plan that'd cause an explosion at the barn. Cor, her middle name literally is Endeavour.

[Yeah, Erin took all the serious traits of the family. Shelley didn't. Probably is influenced by how Shelley is one of the longlasting main characters of many of the canons' stories, so she has been involved in a lot of shenanigans]

[ oh, cute.... ]

Haha. She sounds like a fun person to be around. Maybe she'd fit right in, with the group of people that are here...?

[ everyone's so weird. ] And you two are both writers?

She'd love you all, bunch of weirdos.

[I have played Shelley in multiple murdergames, including the first time ever I was a culprit. I'm fond of her because of that too, for the memories]

Yeah. I followed her steps, pretty much. Ages ago she used to be a reporter in the same newspaper I now direct. Guess writing is in the blood.

[Erin points at herself with her thumb]

But I'm not going to write for little tykes like she does. Can you imagine me, writing sweet things like that?

[Too bitter and jaded to write nice things]

By the way, about your sister. Planning on telling her about all this, once you go back?

[She'd want to know why her brother went incommunicado for a while, Erin is sure. Despite everything, she's not going to be unkind enough as to tell to someone to their face that there's a chance they won't get out of this situation alive. Better aim for a little bit of positive thinking there]

[ he laughs, thinking about erin writing a kid's story... ]

I don't know, I could see it! It just might have to be for older kids. [ he jokes back a little, thinking about it. thinking about all of the wonderful stories that were read to him when he was little - thinking about holding his sister in his lap and reading children's books to her too. he looks soft and nostalgic at the idea, though... it fades, at the last bit. ]

Mm... [ god. ] ...probably not. I don't want her to worry. Miss Aerith suggested that I write her letters while I'm here, though, so I'll probably do that, and just not send them.

Things at home are already stressful enough. I'd be worried she'd pack up her things and ride straight to Flamesgrace if she knew!

Aerith is right, though, write those letters even if you won't send them. At times like these you really need all the consolation you can get.

[It's tough and a sibling you love dearly listening to you, even if it's through pretending they'll reading a letter you wrote to them]

I probably will.

[ nod nod... though, hey, that's an idea. ]

Hey - Miss Erin, you should write some, too! There has to be some news around here to report that isn't just... you know, the whole cult thing. Right? Maybe? I know that article someone posted last week was kind of mean, but... it might be nice to have something to lift people's spirits. So... something...not like that. Maybe another poll...

Tell you what, make a good poll and I'll write based on it. It'll be with zero meanness, unlike that article Karma wrote. Promised.

[You put that 'who is the saddest person in town' last week, didn't you, Rondo. Erin has been sure for a while you did]
