[Okay. Here's the scene. It's the middle of the day, and everything looks pretty normal in whoever's kitchen part of his/her apartment.

All of a sudden, pick a Katy Perry song. At max volume.

Cue Davesprite entering the scene, carrying in baking supplies for assorted baked goods. It might be brownies. It might be cookies. It might even be a cake. Either way, Davesprite is baking while blasting Katy Perry. Why the hell not?

...Okay, and he might be singing along a little bit. Shut up.]

Your brother sounds like he was very invested in your upbringing. What of your parents?

[Siblings really only step in like that in the absence of them. Just look at the Thompson sisters.]

That's...complicated. And strangely another game mechanic. The bare basics of it would be that I'd technically be related to the Lalondes 'cause I sort of share the same mother with Rose. The dad would be my brother. Neither of 'em know 'cause we weren't born in the usual way. We kinda arrived on Earth on a meteor, and I mean that in a very literal sense.

Still, Bro never was a father figure, and chose to raise me as his little brother. He wasn't perfect, but he did what he could.

[All Kid can even say to that is:] I see. [That blank stare betrays that he might not be following Dave 100%, but conventional families are something he understands only tangentially. Anything more complicated than that and he's at risk of getting lost in the details.]

...Why a meteor?

Man, I don't even know, even with all the info I get as a sprite. I guess SBURB just fucking felt like it. The families everyone's got from my neck of the universe are all kinds of fucked up.
