[004] The Brotherhood of Evil Relatives

[merridia]

That's not really fair, they are quite lovely relatives. But having them over means that everyone's always on my ass to do things to make them comfortable, which I do not normally have a problem with, except I still cannot take a breath without trying to expel a lung, which is. Problematic. At least I have the day off work tomorrow, so I don't have to spend another day thinking of all the damn money I'm losing by being sick.

Also, I forget to mention it before, but my brother got a Spider-Man Snuggie for Christmas. It is kind of glorious.


No, I know you don't, and that's okay. It would be cool if you did anyway?

Wanda: A... bird? Maybe a tiny owl? I don't know, I really have no clue and I'm not sure what giving her something to take care of would even accomplish, I draw a total blank with her every year.

Sean: I am thinking maybe a gun. So far, every year I have indulged one of his vices: drinking, smoking, country music, and I was thinking I'd run out but then I remembered VIOLENCE. Also, having a bit of protection in the home at all times is something that would appeal with all the shit that tends to go down now and then, though I don't know how much Meredith would like it. >_>

Felix: A Ponyta. No idea.

Madelyne: No idea.

Tracy: I am thinking an assortment of French perfume. Fancy but not extravagant, and totally practical in that she'd obviously use it.

Any and all ideas, no matter how out there, are welcomed and encouraged. :D

Damn, those are awesome, thoughtful suggestions. I shall keep you. :3

I actually had been thinking something pilot-related for Maddie, but all my brain offered was DERP DERP AIRPLANES, which was less than helpful. Maybe a flight simulator or something, combine the flight thing with the computer thing? But there's already one of those on the island, too, boo. Something arty is not a bad idea, that's always an angle I liked with her designing the X-Men logo and painting that dorky table and everything, so maybe I'll think on that some.

And that is an approach I never thought of for Wanda! I mean, I don't want to just give her a bunch of super girly crap, she'd just think the place was making fun of her, but... there is potential. WILL THINK ON IT.

I require regular feeding and movies with explosions in them.

So maybe if she wanted something creative and flying, instructions on how to build a flying something or other? Then she'd have to scrounge parts from the junkyard, figure out how to make things work - probably get some other pups involved? Build CR with the engineer set? IDK.

Doesn't have to be super girly crap, maybe just a guide on finding one's perfect style, or some kind of self-help reflective-type things. Or a patter book with lots of different styles that she can make/have made (again - getting CR with the tailor/seamstress set?) for her to try?

HMMMM. I may have to look/ask around about feasible homemade flying/gliding machines and what they would require, that could be neat. And since I was thinking of giving her some of Sinister's lab shit for an item, it'd be doubly fucked up/awesome? if she could somehow incorporate it in as raw material.

And HMMMM, I like that sound of all that. She's never been one to really put much thought into any of that stuff, more important things to do, etc., but: Downtime Island, what better time to try exploring that? Maybe start her off with something small, a big ol' makeup kit with all sorts of varied stuff and some youtube-style tutorials.
