First of all, a mom update: She’s in the hospital while they try to get her balance and nausea problems taken care of. Prayers and well wishes will be cheerfully accepted. She has been lucid enough to text me from time to time, so that’s something at least.

Secondly, these two really are on similar wavelengths. I tried to make that clear when they played the tabletop RPG that this dynamic was already something that could carry over into real life. Mike is naive and a bit timid, but he’s not stupid. He’s not a quick or tactical as Thomas, but he’s generally above average in many ways. He’s got a flair for the dramatic and has the capacity for leadership. He may not be a natural leader, but he’s one of those people with enough foundational elements to grow into it given time. Mike is also artistic and curious about things. He reads and learns in his spare time for fun. It’s no wonder Jess takes to him so quickly since he has qualities she looks for in other people generally. Not least of all is his playfulness and willingness to commit to a bit. He likes the same things in her, plus she’s also flirty and cute. In the puppet arc all these kinds of things were on display. These two are potential trouble because over time they will absolutely begin spurring each other on to be more and more dramatic in the pursuit of fun. If you add Rulette into the mix you have 3 people with very group activity oriented personalities. The kind of people who start parties and party hard, long into the night. In contrast you have Jo and Ed who are a little more reserved in their mannerisms. Although Jo is just shy around new people and things. Eventually she’ll be as bad as the rest of them and it will just be Edward as the lone stick in the mud. That said, he was still willing to join the RPG and play with puppets, so it’s not like he’s stuck in the mud all that far.

I will see you on Friday with the next page in the saga. Until then I hope you have a good midweek. Thank you for your continued support.
