I’m never turning someone again. Doing it once, on accident, was bad enough. I don’t know how I would live with myself if I did it on purpose. Worrying about hurting people is just one of those things that we have to live with. Even in human form, if we’re not careful we can scar people. I guess it would be hard to explain to Muggles that you’re a werewolf. It can be hard enough to explain to wizards sometimes.
I understand that. Sometimes you do have to say things that the other person doesn’t want to hear, though, both for your sanity and for theirs. If you’re always holding things in… that just doesn’t sound like a fun life.
I feel like I should chastise you, but since you’re older than me and have a job and everything I feel like it’s not my place. Say, maybe I should owl this Callisto you’re always going on about and talk to her about berating you for me… You smoke? Gross.
Ha! As if I could become a drunk party girl. I don’t think I could do that for more than one night, and even an entire night is pushing it. I’d rather not end up in strangers’ homes, either, if at all avoidable. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , Sorry. I should know better than to make jokes about that. Dark humor I guess. Even though I know everything about werewolves, I also don’t, if that makes sense. Anything can be fun if you make it. But yeah…I get told to grow up a lot. Mostly by Callisto and my parents. At least I acknowledge that I’m immature at times. Makes it a little better. Oh trust me, Callisto makes it known that I don’t have a healthy lifestyle. At least I can go all week without drinking if I feel like it. She downs a few glasses of wine every night. If I ever brought that up to her, she’d kick me out though. I only smoke when I’m bored, so basically just at work. I’m sure I’ve already done a lot of damage to my liver, so what harm could cigarettes do at this point? Kill me even faster? We all die eventually. Might as well live while we can. No one believes they can be a drunk party girl until they are a drunk party girl. And why not? The thrill of finding your way back home the next morning while also getting a really greasy breakfast to nurse the hangover is great!

You probably should know better, but it’s okay. We all make mistakes sometimes – that’s what being a human is all about. Even I know that, and I’m not even all human out of Hogwarts yet.
I bet you could make your job fun if you wanted to. Then you wouldn’t have to get drunk in order to go to work. Sorry that Callisto and your parents are always lecturing you. They probably think that they’re doing what’s best for you, but the people we love aren’t always right in what’s best for us.
…I’m not sure how I feel about your sister making it known. Your lifestyle, I mean. Isn’t that kind of your choice? Just like it should be her choice to disclose how much wine she drinks every night. (By the way, I think you’re exaggerating when you say ‘a few glasses’. Or we just have different definitions of a few.)
Cigarettes hurt your lungs, not your liver. And while both are important, your lungs deteriorate a lot faster, and it’s a lot harder to get a lung transplant. And generally multi-organ transplants (that is, both liver and lungs) are frowned upon, especially if you mucked them both up with unhealthy habits. Just a few things to consider.
Really, though, Mina. Me? A drunk party girl? Are you still drunk? mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , You’re more human than some of the werewolves I’ve been told about. Don’t sweat it. HA! Lecturing me because it’s best for me? That ended years ago. Once I almost got held back, it shifted gears. This is to keep me in line so I don’t turn out like Sarah. Which is having a child and working at a strip club. So yeah… Exactly! My life. I’m still alive and here. That’s all that should matter. I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought I’d never come home. Well she starts out with wine glasses, but depending on her day at work, that can quickly turn into a water glass worth of wine. Even though we don’t have wolf blood, apparently we still have a higher alcohol tolerance. Or we’re just alcoholics. The first one sounds nicer to me. I’ll be fine. I know how to stop if I feel like it. …no. Are you?

That’s hardly comforting, considering that one of the werewolves you’ve been told about is my father, and it doesn’t take much to be counted as more human than he is.
Well, not having a child or working at a strip club does seem to be in order… but were you ever really in danger of that? I mean, I never really saw you as the stripper type.
Just being alive on a day-by-day basis isn’t always the best thing, though. There’s being alive, and then there’s living. Though I guess you consider pounding back shots and going home with strangers to be living in its own way.
I’ve never heard anything about wolves having a higher tolerance for alcohol, so I think that you might be out of luck on that one.
What do you think? mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , Okay, so all that other stuff we’ve been talking about for moooooooooooooooooooonths isn’t nearly as funny as this (also, like how I put a bunch of o’s in months? Looks like moon hahaha). I’ve totally been wrong all these years. Uncle, your father, isn’t actually related to our mother! Who would have thought? I guess it’s a whole pack mentality thing, where the leader takes on younger werewolves and treats them as siblings as they learn how to control the wolf. So yeah. That’s what mum is to old Fenrir. No direct blood relation. I’m sure that happens a lot with a pack if they’re bringing in more wolves that don’t have any family left… But yeah, they just never really made it clear to me (or I wasn’t listening) that Uncle wasn’t actually an uncle. That make sense? My mistake. Does make sense that there wasn’t any obligation by the rest of the family to reach out to you, now that I think about it. Don’t worry though! We can still be family. I think we’ve agreed on that part where blood doesn’t always mean family is family. Definitely cool with still being cousins or whatever. This doesn’t change anything. Also, to answer that last question, no you’re not drunk, but you should be, and I definitely was.

The many os you put in are indeed hilarious, Mina. Have you considered becoming a comedian?
I’ve got to say, this is… kind of a lot to swallow. I was just getting used to the idea of having a bigger family. I guess this doesn’t mean we’re no longer family, though? I mean, if you still want to call me your cousin, that’s fine. And if not, that’s fine, too. Also, is it bad that the first thought that I had is that I can date one of your younger siblings now? I mean, I’m not looking for anyone or anything, but like… wow, I am really beginning to ramble. I don’t think that I generally have these sorts of revelations over owl. Like, I’ve met all of my siblings in person. So this is like, the opposite of that, but still really shocking. I need a moment to digest.
I’ve got to say, though, if this whole thing just happened because you weren’t listening, it’s kind of like, the biggest mistake of ever. Did I tell you I met Sarah, by the way? While we’re on the subject of the rest of the family.
Yeah, blood does not a family make. We could still have some sort of family reunion though? Or… pack reunion? (If we’re a pack, who’s the alpha? Asking for a friend.) mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , I already am a comedian. It hurts that you just realized this. Sad face. Super big mistake on my part. Obviously it was going to be me that heard it incorrectly and then spilled the wrong secret. Kind of describes my life in general to be honest. But definitely still cousins! Or actual family if you can stand one of my siblings. Callisto might be a little too hard for you though, and Sarah…well, you said you met her so you know. So that leaves the really old one or the really young one (though only a few years younger than you I guess). Take your pick and you can have either if you want. As for Sarah, hopefully my description of her was accurate. She didn’t hurt you did she? That happens every so often. It’s not always her fault though. Just happens with the crowd she hangs around. Pack reunion during the summer then. For those that can make it, of course. Might turn out to be similar to the last one. If we hold it at my place on a weekend, there’s a better chance you would meet Cal.

Mina, has anyone ever told you that you’re not allowed to put emojis in writing? Because you’re not allowed to. It’s weird.
It’s probably for the better that I was the one that you spilled the super big, super wrong secret to. My other siblings might not be as forgiving. Or, more likely, since we’re not related by blood they would be pleased that they didn’t have to deal with you. I know this makes them seem like bad people, but they’re not, really – they’re also just getting used to the idea of having a big family, but maybe not adjusting as well as I am. I think the idea of being pack-family is probably what’s going to end up happening, since I’m not actually into any of your siblings.
Your description was definitely accurate. She didn’t hurt me – she was just kind of spooky. I’m not in any rush to meet her again, though.
I’m not sure how many of my siblings will be able to make it over the summer, but I can try to wrangle them. I would like to meet Callisto, definitely. And you didn’t answer my question about who the pack’s alpha is – still asking for a friend. mina pandora oliveira

@jamie , Sure, they’ve told me not to do it before. I just do the opposite. Professors hated when I tried adding them into papers. Especially potions ones. Using the vomit face doesn’t work as a ‘possible side-effect’ of a potion done incorrectly apparently. Technically I’m right, they’re just too old school for me. Booo. It would have been awesome if you were! But can’t force what doesn’t want to happen I suppose. Example: me and school. Two plus two didn’t equal four in my world. As for your siblings, they’ll get used to it eventually. Definitely a weird circumstance to be thrown into. Try being her sister. She just pops up when you least expect it! You’d adore her son though. Little Sebby is precious. He’s the only thing Callisto has ever loved. I can guarantee that. Alpha? Callisto if she likes the sound of it. Meaning if she can tell others what to do. Letting Sarah lead would be a bad idea. Like a really bad idea.

I wish that I believed you were joking about using an emoticon in your papers. I can’t imagine any of my professors being anywhere near okay with it. I don’t think it has anything to do with age, either. You said you were friends with Professor Zhu – she’s not that much older than you, right? She obviously knows what emoticons are, they’re just not appropriate for school papers.
Forcing things rarely works out. Yeah, my siblings and I will get the hang of it eventually.
I don’t think I want to know how she survived being pregnant, or why she was allowed to keep custody of a child. Nice that Callisto loves the kid, though I’m sure she loves more than you think she does.
I’m not sure if alphas are supposed to be bossy? I think we’ll figure it out. Maybe when we see each other this summer. I’ll write you when I want to meet up! mina pandora oliveira (the end?)
