[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Hey how did the cookies turn out?

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: I haven't made them just yet. I actually found a new roommate and just now unpacking. I am going to make them tomorrow though. I already have the butter softening so I can start first thing in the morning. We got a place at Silver Brook. Is that where you stay? I can't remember if you said.

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: As a person who likes my roomies I hope you got the same

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Turning Leaf. I'm north

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: They seem pretty cool. Unsure if you meet them yet but their name is Lee. We have a lot of things in common so I think it is going to be amazing. Last roommate got enough to move his family out here so I offered to move out to make it easier for him. But that is cool. How is your night going?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I don't think I met him but I also work way front in the park so

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I told my roomies about the cookie quest. I've been charged with a sacred mission in this. That's how my night's going

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: That is fair, they work at the resort like I do but they are a chef. As for the cookie quest, I could start now instead of waiting I suppose. The butter is probably softened by now realistically. Rather not have you potentially disappointing your roomie after all. What is your roomie's name btw?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: my roomies are Mac from Haunted Estate and Arrow from Stirring the occult tea shop

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Was thinking about going out to the PBC but it's like an under 21 club night or something so I'm watching tv and figuring out some new pieces

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: There's going to be dream theme night next friday and I was actually texting cause I promised to give you a heads up on when there's going to be like an event some of us were going to hit up.

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: Nifty! They sound awesome. And I could come, as long as you don't mind someone over 21 being there. And I saw the flyers about that. I am down to go. I have to figure out what I am wearing. Might need to take another trip to the Ruby's I was focused on furniture today when I went. I might grab the couch if Lee likes it.

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I mean I'm 27 so yeah same boat. Tonight's just a young people's event thing

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I have to figure that out too. I might cheat it

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: Fair fair, I don't assume age on looks. I ID everyone cause I can't tell at all. And I don't mind being around the young ones. And how do you mean cheat exactly? I might change up my appearance for the whole party for giggles. I sometimes do that so the guests don't recognize me when I am on the clock. Rather they not see party girl Shirley and just see cute bartender Tini. YK?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: If you pick up the couch and need help moving it I might know someone with a trailer that can help get it moved easier

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: That would be amazing <3

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Yeah that makes sense. You said you were like a shapeshifter? That's got to be wild to figure out

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I make things look like they changed without actually changing anything

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: Yeah I am, the cat ear and tail are permanently but I do shape shift just those parts sometimes but I can do the whole being if I want to.

So you can do illusions?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: little bit more than that

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: I'm intrigued, maybe you can show me when I drop off some of the cookies?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: but effectively. But on things too that show up for just certain people or fade or that people can walk around with

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I've been working on trying to make little sprites appear for just people under 12 and that's been a fun challenge

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: Aww that sounds super adorbs. I love it!

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: can leave notes that just staff can see. Useful I tell ya

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: That is super useful. I will agree. I also can do some minor healing stuff too. I want to get better at it but I am being patient. Just would be handy in case an accident happened at the bar.

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Because people are always responsible at the bar. A shame that >.>

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I wonder if that works on alcohol poisoning?

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: You know, I haven't tried. It thankfully hasn't come up yet while I have been on shift. Knock on wood.

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I would but I'd knock things over right now so I pet a puppy for good luck. best I got

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: You have a puppy?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I would like to say yes but he is my roomie's

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I live puppy adjacent

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: Ah I see. I have thought about getting a pet but I forgot to ask Lee if they are allergic. I will ask them when they get home from work tonight. I actually have most of my room setup already. What kind of puppy? do you know?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: [sms pic of English bulldog chonky doggo]

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: Awww look at that face

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: He's a good dude. I should tell mac we should introduce him to Knox. Watch him lose his little mind with excitement

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: he's got these cool bull horns. Spork making the ancestors proud

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: idk how it all works tbh he's a good kid tho

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: I know Knox's roomies Huck and Josh. I am told he will tower over me even if I am wearing my combat boots lol

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Cheat and pull out bunny ears

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: lol I mean I suppose I could. But they only go up so high 😆

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Just don't win by smacking your head on the lintel of the damn doorway

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: I suppose if I change my whole self that could be a concern but I don't terribly mind being as short as I am tbh

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I promise smacking into things is not all it's cracked up to be

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: I believe it. I'll be honest. What are you up to right now?

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Making a playlist for the project I'm starting in a while and waiting for the mac n chz to be done. You?

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: What project? And baking the cookies at the moment. Debating on making something more savory since I accidentally skipped dinner.

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: have not decided between mural or a couple ideas for a new collection of prints. I'm going to see what I'm vibin with by tomorrow.

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: Fair Fair. I hope the muse finds you well then 😀

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: I'm going to go hunt the muse a bit but if you're around tomorrow I will trade you what I'm talkin about for a cookie

[TXT to Shirley] Robin: Say hi to Knox for me if you join us in battle of the giants

[TXT to Robin] Shirley: I just took the cookies out and I am a bit sleepy. I will let you know about the battle thing. But hopefully see you tomorrow. ttfn
