So ... I just wanna square away how long Catilin's been living with the Rooks ... maybe 2 years? 3? [EDIT: now with toplevel]
sparklecap🌟
realized I never quite figured that out. but I'm thinking this dinner isn't her first rodeo, so to speak
Ptriciadactyl
I'm glad Caitlin's been adopted by the Rooks
Ptriciadactyl
(officially or not)

We can say probably 3 if you like, maybe before that she faked a decent home life well enough they didn't quite notice?
sparklecap🌟
I think she's on her way to officially - but with her mother presumably still alive I don't think it can be official just yet?
bees-n-murders
They will keep her as long as they can and if her mother doesn't demand with law enforcement behind her that they give her back, they won't
bees-n-murders
You're a Rook now, Caity
sparklecap🌟
that works! they've been friends since before then for sure, just never said much about what life was like at home
sparklecap🌟
lol I think the law enforcement is gonna side with the Rooks in this case
bees-n-murders
yeees she's just kept forever
bees-n-murders
I like how the Rooks are probably literally at least a solid third of 6th year Slytherin house

Ptriciadactyl does Tris want to come as her guest? 😏
no mortal blade
Ooo also how do Caitlin and Selina get on?
Ptriciadactyl
heeeee, do fake girlfriends get invites to family dinner?
Ptriciadactyl
and yes, who needs an official adoption
Ptriciadactyl
(unless her mom tries to steal her back, obviously)
Ptriciadactyl
If Caitlin invited her, Tris would say yes, though she'd be a liiiittle nervous about mixing "fake girlfriend" with "big family dinner." Do any of the Rooks know about their arrangement?
sparklecap🌟
no mortal blade I think with them both being more Typical Teenager than the boys I feel like they would probably fight over dumb stuff a lot
sparklecap🌟
maybe pick on each other for being moody, but the kind of picking that might actually wind up working to get each other out of a funk? like if they know what buttons to push they also know how to unpush them if that makes sense
sparklecap🌟
Ptriciadactyl that ... is a good question. I don't know that she would necessarily actually tell them outright but ...
Ptriciadactyl
Anyway, yes, if you think Caitlin would ask her, she can tag along.
sparklecap🌟
I think she's probably thinking that like ... half the town is there so what's one more? she can come along if she wants to but it's not like a big deal or anything
Ptriciadactyl
ha, okay
Ptriciadactyl
she'll come along to dinner and be good and not pull her books out at the table
sparklecap🌟
(watch it wind up being a big deal)

lol, Porthos knows his daughter has a fake girlfriend, but Fives doesn't know his sortadaughter does, does he? XD
Ptriciadactyl
I appreciate that you play both adoptive dads, Jay.
Jay
right? XD
Jay
they're both marshmallows in their own way, so it works SO well for both of them
Jay
and giving Fives the experience of parenting, and doing it The Right Way, the way Jedao explained that finally made everything click for him about how WRONG their lives are, is going to be pretty big for him
Ptriciadactyl
<3
Ptriciadactyl
I'm so glad he's getting that
Ptriciadactyl
for when he goes home to his millions of clone kids
anstaar
she was probably dragged along to all family events as soon as she was sucked into the friendship orbit
Ptriciadactyl
good job, Mikodez and Clancy. drag Caitlin home to be your triplet.
anstaar
I like to imagine that they became friends through some ridiculous event
no mortal blade
That does make sense! And that’s just the direction I was thinking in, so that’s perfect :-D
no mortal blade
She was probably also mildly jealous early on - like swinging between excuse, she’s the honorary triplet, and ugh her beothers, Caitlin can have them
no mortal blade
LMFAO
bees-n-murders
it's ok Selina, your brothers will neeeever forget you :-P
no mortal blade
Ptriciadactyl
I can tag Cait later, but Tris is there (and apparently meeting her "girlfriend"'s family.)
anstaar
Mikodez finds it all very amusing
