[Action; Park]

[THIS IS THE PARK. IT IS FULL OF TREES AND BUSHES AND OTHER SUCH WONDERFUL GREENERY. And also a certain firefly who, believe it or not, has a bucket. Now why on earth does she has a bucket?]

D-Darn it, get back here!

[Because how else are you gonna catch frogs? For that is exactly what Wriggle is attempting today- frog gathering!

[On her way back from a particularly terrible babbysitting job, Satori's rereading the party invitation for the millionth time. It's not the text that's got her attention, it's the atomic symbols adorning the paper.

She's never felt homesick, because she's never been away from home. But what can only be called homesickness washes over her body and she furiously tears the scrap of paper to pieces before depositing the remains in the nearest garbage receptacle.]

[Sup Satori, have a crazily determined little firefly barely avoid tackling you around the knees in her pursuit of a particularly slimy frog]

[wondering_eye]

[brb glaring daggers]

[glowbrighter]

[sorry, she's too busy spitting up dirt to notice]

Ewwww....

[wondering_eye]

I suppose expecting an apology is a bit much, isn't it.

[It's said to herself, and spoken frankly.]

[glowbrighter]

[wipes her mouth with the back of her wrist and-]

...oh! S-Sorry miss, I almost ran into you just now, huh? I didn't mean to- I'm just tryin' to catch some stupid frogs.

[sh-she didn't even hear what Satori said but asjkfdf god why does she fail at life so much]

[wondering_eye]

...Don't you think they'd prefer not to be caught?

[glowbrighter]

Well, 'course they don't want to be caught. It's why they're hoppin' so much, innit?

[wondering_eye]

Then you're perfectly fine with the idea that you may be taking them away from their families without so much as speaking to them once.

Alright.

[glowbrighter]

[guilty little kid stare]

They're just f-frogs.

[wondering_eye]

[Satori reaches into the bucket and holds a frog in her hand.]

...This one is about to lay a brood of eggs. She's worried for the babies she might not have. She doesn't want to go, because this pond is the only home she's ever known and the other frogs are the only friends she has.

She wants to know why she should come with you, instead of living the rest of her life here.

[glowbrighter]

[takes the frog and puts it close to her own face, trying to see evidence of these egg babies]

How d'you know all that stuff?

[wondering_eye]

Because she told me, of course.

[glowbrighter]

I didn't hear her say anythin'....

[wondering_eye]

[Satori puts a finger to her forehead.]

She doesn't have to say anything if I can tell what she's thinking.

[glowbrighter]

[reaches up to put a finger to your forehead, copying you without really thinking about it]

Really?
