Today in the Elementary School Cafeteria...

[numbuh_one]

[At the furthest lunchtable, a recruiting booth has been set up by the Kids Next Door. There is a large wooden sign with "KND" painted on in huge letters. Sitting under the sign are Numbuhs 1 and 86, both looking deadly serious, although the latter is glowering significantly more. Next to them are more signs, saying attractive things like "ADVANCED

[Aisling was expecting this to be yet another horrifically boring day at school, but seeing this in the cafeteria has suddenly made things more interesting. Since her reading has gotten better, she can easily make out "KND". That sounds familiar; she's heard people mention it on the phone. She goes up to the table.]

What's this?

[numbuh_one]

This is the official recruitment headquarters of the Kids Next Door!

[say, she sounds familiar. Have we talked on the phone? Hmm-]

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[Unlike Numbuh 1, 86 actually recognizes Aisling's voice. After all, how many Irish girls could there be?] Are ya Aisling? We talked on the phone before.

[wolf_faerie]

Yes, that's me!

Is this KND that...or-gan-ization you were talking about?

[bluecapboy]

[Sanity? What's that? You're talking about the kid who thought it was a good idea to run away from home and sprain his ankle, and drive a car through a post-apocalyptic town.

The booth's caught Luke's interest, and he makes his way toward it on crutches. The training and kicking bad guy butt definitely sounds appealing to him.]

[numbuh_one]

[An injured kid is enough to raise eyebrows from Nigel. Still, he's showing interest, which is always the first step...]

Err, hello!

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[Oh. Yay. A boy. Frances just looks at him with mild disinterest, not even bothering to pretend to be friendly.]

[bluecapboy]

[Luke points to the sign.] What's this KND organization all about?

[a_gentle_boy]

. . . Is this that club that Numbuh 4 is in?

[numbuh_one]

Oh, you know Numbuh 4? This is the one.

[tsunbowmonkey86]

Yeah, unfortunately, we're associated with that idiot.

It's not really a club, though. It's more like an army.

[a_gentle_boy]

An army? It sounded like a secret organization of some sort. We met when he said he was looking for a mind controlling device and broke into my house . . .

Why do you have an army?

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Walks into the cafeteria is at the booth within five seconds LIKE A BOSS]

Huge missions and kicking bad guy butt, you say?

[numbuh_one]

I do say. Are YOU up to the challenge?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[eating a PBJ sandwich don't judge her] 'Cause it is a challenge.

[ra_ra_razputin]

Challenge is my middle name.

*Tewi walks up with her bunnies around her.*

So is this where I officially sign up?

[numbuh_one]

[whoa, it's a bunny mob]

Er, yes. Who recruited you, Numbuh 3?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[looks pointedly away socute]

[bane_of_reisen]

I talked to numbuh 86 and she said I would be perfect.

So, do you need to know my skills or something?
