- Feather takes off from her place on the mantlepiece to visit her RL friend
- in the rafters. Awhile later, she flutters down from above to give the
- callahaners a report:
-
- "OK, folks, it seems like my posting on Rainbow Crow's lack of motivation
- had some of the healing effect she was after. Today R-Crow DID get moving
- a bit, went to her local community college and got herself an appointment
- with a counselor she knows and trusts. R-Crow is planning on using this
- counselor as a way to keep herself diciplined... if she has to report
- to a counselor every week on whether or not she has made any progress,
- it's going to keep her on the straight and narrow better. It should help.
-
- If there is anything on Rainbow Crow's side, it's the fact that she is
- (by choice) spouseless and childless, so there is no one else but herself
- being affected by her lack of income/motivation problem." Feather lets
- out a big "WHEW!!" "I would hate to think about how complicated this would
- be if she had a kid or two on top of these problems... geez, the kid would
- be in not exactly a happy situation under the circumstances.
-
- Also on R-Crow's side is the fact that she had almost no debt, and no car,
- heck, not even credit cards. She likes her tiny studio apartment, and
- ultimately that, food and phone bill are the only things she had to pay
- for in her life. That makes financial recovery a LOT easier!
-
- I'll keep you guys posted on her progress."
-
- Feather stops and thinks. Then she grins up at the shadow in the rafters,
- and addresses the crowd. "Heck if I am going to keep YOU guys posted, that
- means the Rainbow Crow is going to have a LOT of people to answer to, and
- to keep her moving..."
-
- A <SQUAWK!> comes from the rafters.
-
- Feather hears it, understands, looks up and answers: "'Oh, no!' yourself,
- you iridescent birdbrain! You are going to have to answer not only to that
- counselor, but to me and all the people here at Callahans. We are not
- going to let you slide one bit, oooooooh, no! Keep moving or ELSE, R-Crow!"
-
- Feather thinks about all this a bit...
- "Damn, I think this is going to work...!"
