Do terrible things tend to happen here right around major holidays?

Odd... I can deal with odd.

But they're mostly harmless?

[FOr a given definition.]

Re: Voice

Yes, that's been pretty hard to miss.

"I classify that as odd, but not harmful."

A lot of people have been turning out to have pretty good singing voices.

"Its still not normal. Even if you do have a good voice."

Re: Voice

No, but no one is likely to die of it, at least.

The last place I was, major holidays tended to get... rather unpleasant.

No, there was another place in between. Funny how you can go billions of years without once getting dragged into a strange place against your will and then two come along right in a row.

"Another place, so this is your second experience like that. Maybe I should be the one asking you questions then."

I'm not sure how much the two really have in common though. The persona thing is new. No fake families either.

Yes, there's that, I did get terribly attached to the grandkids. And, well, my assigned husband.

"Assigned... I have this feeling that I don't want to ask further."

Re: Voice

Most people didn't make much of it, other than having to live in the same house at least some of the time. Our case was a bit... unusual, that was all.

Voice

"So like barrack assignments. I see."

Re: Voice

[acapriciousthing]

Kinda. There were constructs who insisted all the relationships were real. Sometimes there were constructs filling out the household if there weren't enough kidnapees to fill in father, mother and two kids.

The person running the show even took the form of a little girl, most of the time.

A little bit, especially on the bad days.
