6/8/2022 20:48:09 Erin is here today and not alone there are children oh god run .... One is about 7 years old while the other is about 3. They are playing with chasing the cat who is house size. Erin is sitting by the fire keeping and eye on the small ones.

6/8/2022 20:53:58 Jackie pulls in and parks, taking a look around the area before heading over towards Erin with a wave. "Hey Erin, how ya doing?"

6/8/2022 20:58:39 Erin looks over to Jackie and smiles "Sup, doing good and you?"
6/8/2022 20:58:39 The 7 year old waves to Jackie "Hi" she has red hair like her mother. The little one kinda waves but hides a little bit behind her big sister.

6/8/2022 21:02:36 Jackie waves back to the kid, "Hey kiddo." Then she turns back to Erin. "Uh, yours, I'm guessing?"

6/8/2022 21:04:17 Erin grins and nods "Yeah all mine" she looks over to the kids who go off to play before she looks back to Jackie "How you been?"

6/8/2022 21:06:29 Jackie smiles and sits down on a log near Erin. "Doing pretty well! Honestly, I like it out here in California. I kind of wish I had come sooner."

6/8/2022 21:07:25 Erin grins and nodsnods "Yeah, it's pretty awesome and it grows on you" she nods "The beaches are pretty awesome" She points "We brought smore stuff if you want one but no pressure"

6/8/2022 21:09:03 Jackie chuckles at her. "Ah, so tempting! Maybe not quite yet though. And I've heard of the beaches, but I haven't been yet. Maybe once I get the bike I can cruise out there with Reno or Lorna or something."

6/8/2022 21:10:26 Erin gasps softly "You haven't been to the beach yet? Girl! we should totally go to the beach.. I have a jeep" she nodsnods

6/8/2022 21:13:21 Jackie shrugs, looking sheepish. "Yeah, I know, I've just been kinda busy. Lots to see, I just didn't make it a priority. Plus, I guess I felt weird just going out there by myself."

6/8/2022 21:15:02 Erin giggles softly "You should just call i'd go with you"
6/8/2022 21:15:02 Meara the 7 year old comes over and rocks on her heels as she waits so not to interrupt "Hi.. I'm Meara" she then points to the little one "That's my sister Ana" she makes an introduction

6/8/2022 21:16:50 Jackie nods seriously to Meara at the introduction. "Well hello Meara, Ana. I'm Jackie. I work with your mother."

6/8/2022 21:19:34 Meara smiles "Cool, working at the shop is a lot of fun. So your a mechanic or do you fix stuff?" she nodsnods "Ana is a little shy"
6/8/2022 21:19:34 Ana gives a little wave as she picks up the kitty and hugs him.
6/8/2022 21:19:34 Erin looks at Ana and gives her a smile before she pokes Meara "Go play with your sister." she smiles.

6/8/2022 21:20:51 Jackie nods at the kids. "I do both." She turns back to Erin, "Cute kids."

6/8/2022 21:21:51 Erin smiles "Thanks.. Meara is very talkative" she hmms "Nothing like her mother" she laughs.

6/8/2022 21:22:58 Jackie laughs at Erin. "See, now that was a lie."

6/8/2022 21:24:23 Erin gasps "take it back" she nudges Jackie.

6/8/2022 21:27:47 Jackie stretches her feet out, resisting the nudging. "Nope, I calls 'em like I sees 'em. But still, there's far worse things to be than talkative. Hell, I was told to shut up... at least a time or two."

6/8/2022 21:29:07 Erin laughs softly "You where told to shut up? Oh who said that? Rude! " she grins softly "Meara is my social butterfly. She likes to talk to people" she nodsnods
6/8/2022 21:29:07 Meara is also a good big sister as she is playing with her little sister.

6/8/2022 21:33:19 Jackie's smile fades for a second as she thinks about that question, before refocusing on the topic of Meara. "Oh, just... people back east. But yeah, that's good. Nothing wrong with talking to people. Then again, I guess most seven year olds don't usually know many good stories yet."

6/8/2022 21:36:28 Erin gives Jackie a nudge "Sorry.. I sometimes don't know when not to ask.. But it's good to ask here people don't tell you that they answer so that's good " she smiles. She looks to Meara "I don't know she is creative and can tell stories.. I am hoping though that she comes out like her mamma and can fix stuff"

6/8/2022 21:39:53 Jackie smiles, her good spirits recovered. "No, it's fine, really. Just a little bit of history, is all. Fix stuff, huh? That is a good talent to have and nurture. Hmmm, I guess you could put her to work in the shop, right? Wait, does California have child labor laws?" She winks at Erin, obviously not serious.

6/8/2022 21:43:15 Erin laughs softly "They do, she actually loves working at my ex husband's shop so she might follow after him.. Not sure I mean I let her chose what she wants to do but she likes animals" she shrugs 'So she might be a vet, she also loves to draw.."
6/8/2022 21:43:15 Meara chases after her sister who is laughing as she seems to be playing keep away and then heads right for Erin as she just about tackles her mother laughing as Meara tries to reach out and tickle her making the tot laugh.
6/8/2022 21:43:15 All Erin can do is off as a tot runs into her.

6/8/2022 21:45:41 Jackie nods, still smiling. "Well, she is only seven. It's hard to tell at that age. I think I still wanted to be an astronaut back then."

6/8/2022 21:51:23 Erin picks up Ana and puts her on her lap wrapping her arms around her as her and Meara play. Ana tries to slap her hand away as Meara tries to tickle her.
6/8/2022 21:51:23 Erin shakes her head then hmms "You wanted to be and Astronaut.. not a bad thing"
6/8/2022 21:51:23 Meara smiles "Going to the moon could be fun"

6/8/2022 21:55:04 Jackie nods, looking up at the moon. "Yeah, it could be. Then again, I've heard there's easier ways to get there than rockets. But that doesn't really matter. You just grow up to be whatever you want to me, and don't let anyone ever tell you different."

6/8/2022 21:58:46 Meara smiles at Jackie "Yeah there are magical ways to get to the moon.. I think there is one in the other side but I don't know I just heard, also heard that there is the moon dragon that can take you there as well" she sagely nodsnods as she stops tickling her sister to turn to talk to Jackie.
6/8/2022 21:58:46 Ana leans back against her mom making sure that both hands are around here as if she's protected now.
6/8/2022 21:58:46 Erin smiles at Jackie " yeah don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something" she agrees.

6/8/2022 22:00:28 Jackie grins at Erin. "Well, apparently she's already smarter than I am. I didn't know that much myself."

6/8/2022 22:01:47 Erin smiles at Jackie and winks "Yes very smart"
6/8/2022 22:01:47 Meara beams "Too smart for my own good my mom will always say"

6/8/2022 22:02:47 Jackie smiles at Meara. "That's ok, that's a good problem to have. Better than a lot of problems, really." 6/8/2022 22:03:51 Ratchet pages: Eyyyy! Got my sheet all fixed up, turns out I was a single point off in my abilities! Hah, that WAS funny. Bumped my Performance down by one, and now my vigilante ratto shoulds be ready soon by the sounds of it. They just need to give it the green light.

6/8/2022 22:04:22 Meara smiles "Well true" she puts her hands behind her "So you like Disney movies?" she asks
6/8/2022 22:04:22 Erin slowly raises a brow as she starts to get the idea where this is going.

6/8/2022 22:05:35 Jackie glances at Erin before looking back to Meara. "Yes? Some of them, anyway, I guess?"

6/8/2022 22:08:27 Erin looking at Meara.
6/8/2022 22:08:27 Meara smiles as she rocks back and forth "WAnna come over to watch some with us.. We have popcorn and stuff " she ndosnods.

6/8/2022 22:10:43 Jackie looks at the manipulative child, feeling at least slightly trapped. "Well, maybe. If I can find time in my schedule that's before your bedtime."

6/8/2022 22:14:03 Erin reaches out to poke Meara "What did we talk about?" she looks to Jackie "She is such a brat, don't fall for it"
6/8/2022 22:14:03 MEara looks to Erin "Not to just ask people and to ask you first, but I like her" she looks to Jackie "Well if you find time in your schedule" she nodsnods.

6/8/2022 22:15:35 Jackie grins at Erin. "Well, at least she hasn't mastered the guilt trip yet, right?"

6/8/2022 22:19:04 Erin looks at Jackie and laughs "Don't get her started on that one"
6/8/2022 22:19:04 Meara smiles "Maybe you can come when uncle Skully comes over" she nodsnods.
6/8/2022 22:19:04 Erin laughs "You are always trying to have some kind of party at the house.. How about you two go play again you can have a marshmallow?" she offers and Ana gets up from her lap to go get one as MEara sighs "Fine" she goes to help any with the marshmallows.

6/8/2022 22:22:28 Jackie laughs. "And she's a party planner too? Such talents! Who's Uncle Skully, anyway? Part of the family, I assume?"

6/8/2022 22:26:18 When the kids step away she takes a breath as she looks back to Jackie "Everyone around here becomes and uncle our aunt.. Skully is one of the garou here. His rite name is Weathers-the-Storm.. Guessing you haven't met him yet?"

6/8/2022 22:27:30 Jackie shakes her head. "No, I don't think so. If we've passed by each other, we haven't been introduced, anyway."

6/8/2022 22:28:02 Erin smiles "Oh he is hard to miss, he is big so big" she nodsnods.

6/8/2022 22:28:41 Jackie thinks for a second. "As big as Leif?"

6/8/2022 22:36:43 Erin looks thoughtful before she shakes her head "No, Skully is bigger than Leif actually"

6/8/2022 22:38:12 Jackie tilts her head at Erin incredulously. "Really? What kind of giant is he then? And how does he even fit in your living room to watch movies?"

6/8/2022 22:40:17 Erin laughs "He is just bigger, but he still fits I have a big house, whoever build it I guess had shifters in mind " she shrugs "It's not so bad."

6/8/2022 22:43:06 Jackie nods, shrugging. "Ok then, I guess I'll believe it when I see it. So, any other news happening lately?"

6/8/2022 22:44:56 Erin laughs "One day you'll get to meet him you'll see" she nodsnods. She looks thoughtful "No don't think i've heard of any other news other than there was a pack forming for some mission but not sure if they have gone or not yet"

6/8/2022 22:47:01 Jackie stretches her arms. "Alright then, everything in due time, right. And I hadn't heard that myself. Hopefully I'll be able to help out thing like that more someday soon though."

6/8/2022 22:47:57 Erin nodsnods "All in due time indeed and I am sure. Though not sure if they will let you go on this one but what do I know" she smiles "I can't wait to see your new ride" she nodsnods.

6/8/2022 22:49:45 Jackie sets her arms back down in her lap. "Yeah, probably not this one. I'm just hoping that'll change at some point. Just gotta get the war wagon all figured out, I think."

6/8/2022 22:50:52 Erin puts her hand on your arm and nodsnods "You'll get there" she smiles at Jackie "And you will get it all figured out for sure"

6/8/2022 22:51:48 Jackie smiles at Erin, nodding back. "For sure. I should check in with Branton on that soon, actually. See if he needs anything I can help with."

6/8/2022 22:52:49 Erin nodsnods "Checking in is good and who knows maybe he will be ready for you to come help him or something.." she smiles.

6/8/2022 22:53:54 Jackie glances up at the night sky. "Yeah, you're right. It's late now, but I'll make sure to text him tomorrow."

6/8/2022 22:56:36 Erin smiles and nodsnods "There you go, see gives you something to do.. And if you want we can go to the beach at some point" she nodsnods.
6/8/2022 22:56:36 Meara and Ana are eating marshmallows.
6/8/2022 22:56:36 Erin heys "Don't eat too many of those you two"

6/8/2022 22:59:11 Jackie blinks, looking back down from the stars. "Oh, right, the beach. I almost forgot. Wait, do people actually swim in the Pacific? I didn't bring a swimsuit with me. Or do I need to get a wetsuit? I heard the water on this coast was pretty cold."

6/8/2022 23:00:54 Erin laughs softly "Well we can wait till it gets hotter and you can go in shorts and a t-shirt actually. I guess it's cold but on a hot day it feels nice" she nodsnods.

6/8/2022 23:04:12 Jackie chuckles. "Ok, note to self, get some shorts. Sorry, I was totally unprepared for living in this part of the country."

6/8/2022 23:06:06 Erin giggles softly "Shopping, yeah I guess no one is prepared how hot it can get.. You can get a suit but shorts is what I use" she nodsnods

6/8/2022 23:10:02 Jackie smiles a little self consciously. "Alright then, I'll be like a Roman, as long as I'm here. But it's getting late, I should head back to the valley."

6/8/2022 23:11:46 Erin giggles softly "I'm not a big girl on let's go shopping but if you want we can go shopping for some summer clothes" she nodsnods.
