Description
Luckily for my family , this is how close the floodwaters of Harvey got to my home. It actually came right up to our doorstep during the middle of the night, but I wasn't awake to photograph that. Didn't actually come into our house, so I'm grateful for that.I apologize for the bluriness of the shot in the second one, I was photographing through a wet window.

I'm so glad you are ok. I live in Austin, so I had no damage, but we had some trees down and minor floods. Keep on keepin' on!

I'm glad you're safe! My family and I ended up evacuating our home, with a few of our neighbors. Thank goodness it's over.

Dang. Glad to know that you and you're family are okay. Big floods can be dangerous.

Yeah, the flooding has gone down since then. We're actually out grocery shopping now that the streets are navigable.

Yeesh, you've got it bad-
Makes me feel even worse knowing my side of the flood barely reaches past my ankles.

Oh dear. That's nothing to feel bad over! It's good that your flood isn't as bad. You're incredibly lucky!

Which makes me feel even worse now.

Well it really shouldn't. There's nothing wrong with being fortunate. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know, I do.
It's just... whenever I feel like I've got it better, I end up also feeling like there's people who end up viewing me as if I'm on a high horse, being all tall and mighty when I'm trying not to act that way.

Well, if those people exist they certainly have some issues of their own. I always believe that having good fortune should never be demonized by the less fortunate. It's just that, good fortune. Those who try to look down on others for having good fortune are hateful and jealous people that need to reevaluate themselves.

Heh, thanks for the cheering up~
Hey, I have a possible "pet" for either Lydi or Willow~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh? Like Wiffleball? The acid spitting, hairy, bug eyed, enormous centipede caterpillar abomination that Willow so loves? X'D (cause they exist)
If not, then what?

Nah, it's something more terrifying...
This beast is referred to as "The Habitant", also known as "The Abomination"..
Clocking in at 15 or so meters tall, it's horrific... an insectoid exoskeleton, with a second demonic human-like face inside it's first mouth.
Long sword-like claws, bug-like wings, and grace reminiscent of a demented ballerina, this fiend dances about the battlefield, swiping and slashing at it's prey wildly.
It also possesses the ability to lob swarms of insect-spore things from it's body simply by flailing wildly in mid-air, and can furthermore let loose a sonic shriek mixed in with a breath attack that fires out literal bats.
That's right, the Habitant can breathe bats.
It's fast, big, and pure nightmare fuel.

Ok... that is the best freaking thing ever. Willow has instantly fallen in love with it and wants to name it something like Sweetpea or Hellspawn. Lydi says that it better be house trained if it wants to live in her house. Or else she'll make it regret having a digestive system in the first place. X'D

It IS awesome, I adore it-
Though, I'd probably have Therakiel wanna name it "Akumu" because it'd creep him out XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pfft. Will would be happily strolling around Therakiel with it on a leash, with her feeding it severed body parts as "treats". She'd ask if Theri would want to pet Sweetpea.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Theri would hesitantly say yes, and lightly pat the massive beast on the head as it crawls along the road, cars would try to swerve around it and crash, the whole town ends up just going into a panic because there's this massive bug-man thingy walking about.
Though, Willow might wanna keep all forms of bells away from it, if a bell rang it'd get REAL pissed REAL quick-
On a second note, here's some video of it:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxuOmF… (The entrance cutscene and the clash)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW4gUW… (Solo run against this monstrosity, showing more abilities and how to deal with it.)

Ooh~ When my YouTube comes back on I'll go and check those out!
Also, Willow would totally be bummed that she can't get it a tinkling bell collar.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She could give it dog tags, but give it a bell at your own peril XD
Another thing I should tell you: It's got like doll joints on it's head and limbs-
It can bend unnaturally-
And good luck snapping it's neck or breaking a bone-
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hee. The doll parts just make it all the more awesome for Willow. She loves crew doll aesthetics. She'd make sure Sweetpea/Akumu has a long and happy life in her care. She'd cuddle with it in her silky true form often. It would feel like a soft blanket for the beast.

We should do an RP where Willow comes across it, either now or someday~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hee! Whenever I get home we can start up something! Right now I'm busy at the one working store buying some needed things. It's a long line and even longer traffic. I'll let you know when I'm home again.

It seems like it's gonna flood here as well and I don't even live in Texas...

Stay safe! My one friend lives in Texas and the flooding isn't bad where they are either but you never know

I'm glad your safe and I hope your neighbors are okay too.

I've heard about that. I'm glad you're alright. My prayers to the people caught in that mess...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much for your prayers. Some of my other friends and family are currently trapped in hospitals or schools because of the flood's destruction on the roads and houses, so they need all the help they can get.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's awful... I wish there were something I could do to help. I hope they make it out okay...

One of my friends was in Hurricane Harvey. She hasn't contacted anyone (not even by phone) in three days. We're all very worried about her.
I'm glad you're safe, though. Best wishes to you and your family.

Thank you very much. I must admit that I am one of the incredibly lucky families. Some of my other friends and family are currently trapped in hospitals or schools because of the flood's destruction on the roads and houses.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everyone makes it out okay.

No joke! I was so surprised we didn't flood after the rain overfilled the huge retention pond and bayou close to us.
