"Carried out of the influence it is." He says, not actually carrying her, but leading her out of the room, and kissing her on the side of the head in the hallway. "You ok?"

As soon as we get down stairs I'll be . . . far enough. *Del says sounding mostly herself and not tired. As she heads down the stairs and to the kitchen.*

Siren goes down stairs, walking with his arm around her waist. "Now that I'm not baby-watching, you need any help in the kitchen?"

Nah, Ah do believe us women folk have it covered. *Del says affecting a southerndrawl teasingly.* Seriously, I think we are all happy gossiping minuse any men you could go rejoin the card game, want to know what would make them really happy?

"Do tell." He says, currious.

Bring them something other than Barney, I recommend Die Hard, the Hunt for Red October, or The Rock. *Del offers well aware of her cousins love of action movies.*

"I'll go with Die Hard. Where's it at?" Siren smirks.

In the cabinet under neath the television. I'm sure you know the movie. *Del says retreating to the kitchen.*

Siren and Delphi seperate in the livingroom. Siren goes over to the tv and turns Barny off. "I thought we'd watch something else." he says, poping in Die Hard. "Nice and Christmas-y." He says, re-joining the game. Meanwhile Delphi heads off to the kitchen.

Boys:
"Alright." "Execellent choice." "How is that Cristhmas-oh yeah. *chuckles*."

Antony deals out cards. "The game is five card stud, one eyed jacks are wild."


Girls:
Ok so babies are down for their nap, what else needs doing . . . the salad? *Del asks walking over to the lettus and getting ready to clean and break them.* So did I miss anything good?

"The Salad yep, and- watch for low flying water" Delphi's warned, as the water on the stove bubbles and boils, jumping in a way water's not normally like to do.

"Sorry- cramps." Emma says, embarrasedly.

Meanwhile, cards have been delt in the livingroom.

I think for once being precognative will pay off. *Del mutters getting out of the way of more water and some spare flames.* Umm for curiosity's sake, is anyone in charge. Ah yes Grandma, you would be. So is this at all like a house full of kids?


Austin look at his hand and says, "I'll take two."
He is handed two, and picks them up, "Nice very nice ladies." He says to his cards.

Tony and Antony start chuckling, and making moaning noises quietly, "Nice, honey ohh so nice." "You sound like that at night with your wife." "Yay, yay the cards ain't your girl."

"Pretty much!" Grandma says. "Only you don't have to look out for lighters so much as random fire, and you don't have to look out for cloged drains so much as randomly water, etcetera etcetera." Grandma says, carrying a large pot of potatoes.

We are keeping you young. *Del teases,* Speaking of which, I noticed some of the younger kids graduated to the kitchen. I see little Jennifer and Stephanie and Kara made it to chopping duties.-Cute pink hair girls.

"Thanks Cassie!" They both chirrup, cutting away, both with bright pink psy-blades.
