...Scoutmaster?

[geek_squaddie]

Yes; Scoutmaster Gunther, to be precise. Are you interested in joining up?

[spacelark]

I was just following the signs, really.

[geek_squaddie]

That's good; if you followed the signs you must be interested, yes?

[just_crash]

Scoutmaster?

[geek_squaddie]

Yes, though you're not the first person to ask that so outright.

[just_crash]

It's the first time I hear about a job like that.

[geek_squaddie]

Ah, a Scout troupe is a group of young people, led by a Scoutmaster, with an emphasis on outdoor activity; camping, practical survival, and so on. There's badges to earn for specific tasks, for instance.

Scouts?

[geek_squaddie]

Ah, yes. I was hired to lead a troupe here some time ago.

[warpspace]

Nono had no idea there was one in camp!

[geek_squaddie]

I get the feeling there wasn't, until I got here. Are you interested in joining?

[donationsorgtfo]

Scout?

[geek_squaddie]

Scoutmaster Gunther, yes. Are you interested in joining?

[donationsorgtfo]

Nope.

[geek_squaddie]

... ah. Are you sure? You did come up to the booth, after all.

[youwillbemist]

Scoutmaster, you say?

[geek_squaddie]

Yes, that's--

[you are getting a Look]

[youwillbemist]

Is something the matter?

[geek_squaddie]

Is it for cave-dwelling? Does it light up?
