[ action ; 1338 benny ; morning ]

[ so the previous day you likely noticed that Jade was a happy, cheerful drone! fortunately, today she is back to her normal self, up bright and early and just a little confused, all things considered. but for now, she's settled herself down at the breakfast table, humming and working at a bowl of cereal

Action

[a_gentle_boy]

...I would?

[Sadly, this is the third time in a month that someone has mentioned as such.]

omg yes

[frogst]

[ nodding brightly! ]

Definitely! Have you ever thought about joining?

lucas is the manliest =(

[a_gentle_boy]

Um.

Well.

I didn't think I was qualified.

[not so brightly...]

[frogst]

I think you could be. I mean, just because we are the girl scouts doesn't mean that boys can't join.

[a_gentle_boy]

So the reason they're called the Girl Scouts is...

[frogst]

Um, well, it's all girls right now. So that's probably why.

[a_gentle_boy]

...[He's not convinced. ...But Lucas is too nice to leave it at that, so.]

Maybe it would be better if the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts all joined together, anyway. It's not like girls can't do anything boys can't do or the other way around, either.

[frogst]

That's right! It's silly to have us split up like that.

Oh, and I'm Jade, by the way! I don't think we've met.

[a_gentle_boy]

Oh! It's nice to meet you, Jade.

[Lucas noticed the dog ears some time ago, but he's actually not especially bothered by it. It's not like he hasn't seen more bizarre.]

My name is Lucas. Actually, I was thinking about joining the Boy Scouts when I first got here, but they were all mostly drones...

[frogst]

[ gasp!!!!!!!!! girl scouts is suddenly forgotten!!! ]

Wait, Lucas, do you know someone named Tavros?

[a_gentle_boy]

[That shocked look... Lucas looks slightly embarrassed in response.]

Y-Yes, I do. ...I guess he told a lot of people about what happened, eheh.

[frogst]

He did! I'm his, uh, friend, and I am also a moirail. Not his, obviously, since that's you, but another troll's.

[a_gentle_boy]

[wait slow dawning comprehension Lucas turns even redder for some reason.]

Ohhh, you're Jade! I... I've heard a lot about you, eheh. Um. It's definitely nice to meet you in person!

Ah, I'm glad to hear that! So it's not that unusual, then... Maybe I can ask you for advice sometime.

[frogst]

You have? [ she probably shouldn't be surprised by this. she just wonders what exactly he's heard. ]

Well, I think it is still pretty unusual, but since we are in the same position we can definitely help each other out.

[a_gentle_boy]

Do you mind if I ask who it is your... moirail is? [The word is still unfamiliar. It doesn't roll off the tongue well.] Besides Tavros, I've just met Karkat. And Vriska. But yeah! Tavros has a lot of nice things to say about you.

[frogst]

Oh, okay. [ She seems a little relieved by this. Not that she thought Tavros would trash talk her, but- ]

My moirail is Eridan. He's pretty, uh, well, you'd have to meet him. Karkat is really nice, and he knows a lot about how quadrants work.
