Ah, Our Situations Have Varied Some Then. While I Also Have Had A Decent Amount Of Time Out Of The Pen,

Ah, our situations have varied some then. While I also have had a decent amount of time out of the pen, the first several months were focused on reintegration. Finding a bloody therapist for one-Athena volunteered, but it would not have been wise for her to serve in that regard. Housing for another, as I did not wish to crash with the wrights forever. Waiting on paperwork to catch up to the fact my previous sentence had been overturned meant until it did I could not pass a background check. Then of course Sorting out Aura's defense as well, and assisting with the investigation that led to retrieving Fulbright- and awaiting his recovery. Not to mention health issues I hadn't bothered to address when I thought I'd be executed.

A great deal of reflection done, certainly, but what I have found is not conducive towards a relationship-too much has happened, and building it on top of my...paranoia, we'll say, towards people...I do not know such a thing would be wise, for myself or a potential partner. Nor do I particularly wish for one, at least at this moment.

Relationships of that sort were never my highest priority anyway.

However you have surmounted these issues, whichever ones you faced, I commend the effort. Good luck to yourself and your family.

Well of course I call him dad, I can’t exactly call him “mom” now can I? Not cause he’s a man, but because my mom is… well… I don’t want to call anyone else mom other than my biological mom.

And if you give me a minute, I can get Dad over here to meet you! Just hang tight…

What in the blazes-

…Who are you? Are you really me from another reality? You arent as good-looking as I, but I suppose that’s to be expected from alternative realities.

You two look practically the same.

Nonsense.

( @ask-instigator-attorney )

I'm Simon Blackquill, and that is what I have been told, you overgrown skunk. Such a hideous visage, how ever did you manage to find a partner looking like that?

*as far as anyone looking can tell, they are, in fact, the same person, looking equivalent.*

Regardless, you have managed it, and cultivated a strong enough bond with the man's daughter that she refers to you not as her fathers partner, nor your first name, but as 'dad'. commendable, if a tad confusing.

Did you not find your....experiences in the past making a relationship different? or are your circumstances different then my own?

Baffled,

Hello!

Any advice for staying committed to learning a skill?

Stormy Reader,

What advice will be most effective depends somewhat on what skill you are attempting to master, but the basics are fairly consistent.

One, set goals for yourself. Two, set aside specific times to work on it. Three, do not let perfect become the enemy of good.

There are people who simply give up, because how can they compare to the masters?

It is a foolish notion, for how long did it take them to become masters?

Talk to others who have the skill you seek, ask advice, ask to see what they can do. Find yourself a teacher if you can, or peers who seek the same skill.

Then, remind yourself why you are doing it, why this is a skill you seek. Move forward with time.

Reflective,

-Simon Blackquill

dear robert. how is your transition going?

Hello Anonymous reader!

You can just call me Bobby, everyone does!

And it's going as well as it could, I think! Its not perfect but it's something! Rover is a big help, and Prosecutor Blackquill is a much better roommate then he thinks he is!

I did stay with my Nana for a long time after everything, but I missed Los Angeles, so I came back! it, um, wasn't easy, but as I settled in it got easier, so there are good days and bad days!

The station has been very supportive, and I think so long as that continues I'll be just fine!

Thank you for asking!

In Justice we Trust!

You a tits man or an ass man

Well, firstly, I don't know that it's your business.

Secondly, biceps, obviously.

Advice for solving my rat problem. I hope this is the sort of advice you give.

Second Reader,

Rats are not an issue i commonly deal with, but were a real problem when I was in prison. Taka's presence helped greatly, though I begged her not to actually consume the things...I knew they put out poison out for the animals.

I would recommend ensuring every food you have be kept in air-tight containers. Rats can chew through much more then Mice can, but if they can't smell food, they'll be less likely to try. Metal cans are good for this, but not the only option. If they have already discovered where you keep yours, you may try moving your storage. Anything they have already gotten open must be disposed of immediately.

If you know of a way for rats to get in, do your best to seal it. an open crawl space is an invitation, even without their ability to chew a new entry point. You can not truly rat-proof your home, but you can insure they work for it.

Set out traps, and do not balk at the idea of lethal ones. It is well and good to respect the lives of animals, but if they stay you will be at risk for serious illness, and if you release them elsewhere then they will scourge another family instead. Releasing them far away from humans is merely turning them lose on an unsuspecting wild population-either they will die, or the animals they meet will. besides that, releasing rodentia is often illegal, for exactly the reasons I just listed. Better to give them a swift death then prolonging suffering-do not subject them to starvation and harsh weather. Kill them to start.

Now, for the other options...you may either get a ratter, or you may poison them. DO NOT UTILIZE BOTH. Taka made herself ill once eating rats that had been poisoned whilst I was in prison, and it was a bloody fucking nightmare. Thankfully, the likelihood of your hunter getting poisoned by the prey is rare, a dose low enough for a rat to survive is typically low enough for your hunter to manage, but it's not worth the risk.

On that note, if you do intend to get a ratter, be aware of possible symptoms. Rats carry illness, and while a Cat is designed to feed on meat, you need to be aware of possible parasites they may pick up. Keep a veterinarian posted of any change in behavior.

If all else fails, Call an exterminator. Stay somewhere else while they work, and return home, hopefully rat free.

Death is part of life, and your home is your castle. Feel no sympathy for the rats who care not for you.
