Disciple has a one year anniversary.
[A new non-filtered video hits the network. In it is a older oliveblooded troll many will recognize. She is sitting cross-legged on some sort of large stuffed chair in the shape of a cat. Unlike many of her public postings this one appears to be actually intentional. She has certainly come a long way in understanding the communications technology of this place. She takes a sip from a steaming teacup and addresses the camera.]
One year. It is a human measurement of time. The time it takes the human planet, Earth, to complete one full orbital revolution around its parent star.
[A pause as she takes another sip of tea.]
It seems my starfish communicator has let me know that it was just over one human year ago that I first arrived here in Vatheon. It is a rather arbitrary distinction for one of my race, as we do not share the same measurement of time. One of our own orbital sweeps lasts as long as 26 human months. Regardless, it has still got me thinking about all my time spent here.
This place has given me many things. The chance to once again have that which I had lost. A chance to meet those that I would not otherwise have been able to. It has given me a chance to forgive, both myself and others. I have had opportunities here that I would not have even dreamt of back home. That is not to say that it has been completely enjoyable. This place certainly has a way of sticking a knife into your chest and then slowly turning it.
Well, that is enough of my ramblings. To those of you I know, I look forward to another human year together. To those that I do not know, let us change that.
[Disciple raises her teacup in salute, smiles one last time into the camera, and the feed cuts.]

That aside, I hope to have the party sometime here in the next week, Vatheon and its curses willing. I am going to be having Nepeta come over to help me prepare the hive soon, hopefully.
Video
That sounds good! Are you inviting Psii and Dad too?
Video
Of course! It would not be a party without them. It is a party to celebrate the gifts the city has given us, so I can hardly leave out two of the greatest of those gifts. Having them again... It means everything.
[There she goes, getting a touch emotional.]
Video
[He can't help it, he has to know! And her reaction to his question makes him feel a little safer about asking.]
Umm, are you and Dad...? Are you matesprits?
Video
[That one catches her flat-footed. She had taken for granted that apparently everyone knew the two of them had been a thing, even the stuff of legends according to some. To find someone who did not know was simultaneously startling and refreshing.]
Signless and myself? Yes... we are. For a good portion of both of our lives, in fact. I will admit Vatheon has altered the dynamic of it a little bit, but we are still quite red for each other.
Video
[Sola smiles brightly, so happy for his father and even happier that it's Disciple. He likes her a lot, as nice as she is.]
Does that mean I can call you Mom? I-I mean, if you want me to.
[He sounds a little shy about it, but the excitement overshadows it by far.]
Video
[A little unexpected, but she really likes Sola, so is quite happy to have him ask. She had done extensive reading on the human idea of adoption when she had first heard of it. She then took Nepeta under her care, so that means Sola is gonna have a 'sibling'.]
Video
[He's even more excited than he was before! One of these days he's going to have to make a family tree for all the people he's adopted into it. Hopefully he'll learn about Nepeta before that, wouldn't want to leave her out!]
Video
Balloons? Oh see, this is why I am glad I have people like you! I never would have thought to get balloons.
Video
[He can't imitate it without an actual balloon but trust him its hilarious.]

[Meanwhile, after a debilitating curse and a popped bubble...]
Video
[Silly bubble, foiling their fun plans. Guess it could always be a beach party?]
Video
[It might very well have to be.]
