I hate it when I get to this bit. Part of it is that I can't see the slides too well, so figuring out what goes where isn't easy. Yes, I'm sorting, which means that almost everyone in Uni is at least a sophomore, and that there will be an SC chapter in not too long.

There was some kind of glitch at the boys' Greek house. Dates weren't coming up with a timer, and there was something wrong with parties. I think it is fixed now. The date issue seems to be, anyhow, and now that Ulysses has been properly inducted into the Secret Society and Achilles has pledged, I'll be able to see if the toga party issue is resolved, too.

I have a few more plotty shots to take. I went over to Cypress Vetinari's house to take a few conversation shots, and--well, here's what happened:

I almost never see the little red faces of hate, but---

Cypress: YOU MADE THIS HAPPEN.

I did not. You and Spider Jerusalem made this happen all by yourselves.

First:

Cypress: Ew. I hate sideburns.

Tough nuggets. Your overlord says I forgot to put your sideburns on, and you will have your sideburns and you will like them.

I summoned Spider Jerusalem over to shoot a conversation between the two of them. This is all entirely them, except that I allowed that first transaction to begin with:

Cypress: ME ME ME

Spider Jerusalem: OMG STFU

A few more exchanges of ideas took place:

Spider Jerusalem: Poke you in the nose!

Spider Jerusalem: Hey, it's a big nose, folks! Can't miss it! Am I right?

Cypress: ***slow burn***

Me: ***pops some corn***

I'm skipping all the poking and shoving and slapping.

This inevitably led to this:

Which regrettably ended in the this:

Somewhere in the middle of this, my gay superhero grandson Marcus showed up, no doubt to offer his services. Dora Ottomas also showed up, but obviously, she was in the way, so I had Cypress say goodbye.

Cypress: Maybe if I slip Grandma here a little tongue, she'll beat it.

Ew. He really did this.

Marcus had a nice ringside seat for the rest of this.

Marcus: These people are psychotic.

You're a superhero. Do something.

Marcus: Uh, no thanks.

Marcus managed to irritate Cypress, but not Spider Jerusalem. It looked as though every topic Marcus brought up--politics, fashion--was something Spider Jerusalem was interested in. So Marcus is probably rolling the want to be friends with him and to have a big old party.

Spider Jerusalem: Ha ha! Make friends with the trash compactor!

Cypress: OW

And a final word of advice:

Cassius: I don't think any of you should piss Ma off. Just letting you know.
