I keep the door to her room locked at night, just in case.

Trivie thought so, and considering that the needle in her syringe is almost as big as Janie's sword, I thought it best not to argue.

The lantern is a flimsy plastic Halloween/Christmas decoration found at a craft store. It looks better with a quick dash of spray paint.

Having once taken a First Aid course, Triv considers herself a highly trained professional, although she will admit that the hypodermic part is still largely trial and error.

I did not know if anyone would get it if I'd made a candy stripers reference! Hospital volunteers used to wear red and white striped dresses. (I could not find any photos showing striped stockings, but it would make sense.)(09-22-2019, 10:36 PM)werepuppy Wrote: Well, please inform Triv that Helena is now asking for pink stripey socks just like hers.

22 September – Triv Tries the Brunette Look
Triv wears an outfit made for her by her Instagram friends Izzy and Justice (@izzygray_n_justiceekpo). Triv not so secretly wants to be just like Izzy some day – poised, intelligent, sophisticated, and exceptionally photogenic – and almost everything she does is influenced to some extent by a little bit of Izzy envy. And then she feels badly about feeling envious of her sweet, kind, generous friend.
At least she's feeling a little bit more confident about her eyes. After considerable micro-tweaking, her eyes are looking much less crossed without appearing wall-eyed, and she is very happy about this.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
