005-[phone + action] Girl Scouts~

[smallestgrave]

[on the phone...]

Hello, everyone! This is Alice.

It turns out that I'm a troop leader for something called 'the Girl Scouts.' I've been reading the handbook and it sounds like a lot of fun. I have a list of names and addresses for everyone in my troop, and I'll be visiting those girls later.

But if anyone else wants to join, please just let me know.

[Karin recognizes that voice. They spoke during the "population control" movement last week, but... she hadn't realized who it belonged to. Though, Alice wasn't exactly an uncommon name.

Still.]

Alice? I'm sorry, we spoke briefly last week. Are you Alice Elliot?

Re: [Phone]

[smallestgrave]

Yes, I am. we spoke on the phone last week, didn't we?

[Phone]

[nibelungprelude]

We did. I'm Karin Koenig. I'm a friend of Yuri's.

[Nervous. So very nervous.]

I've heard so much about you. He really thinks the world of you, you know?

Re: [Phone]

[smallestgrave]

A friend of Yuri's?

[Well now she's curious.]

It's good to meet you.

....... He told you about me? Really?

[She's kind of embarrassed....]

Hnnn, a girl scout troop leader? I'm a boyscout troop leader myself.

Re: [ Phone ]

[smallestgrave]

Really? That's wonderful. Maybe we could plan some activities together.

[inababanchou]

That'd be nice. Leading a group of young children is pretty hectic. I'd welcome the help.

[smallestgrave]

Did they give you a handbook too? Mine has a lot of good suggestions.

What about organizing a camping trip?

[This particular Girl Scout doesn't seem too threatening, but there's a strange-looking owl perched on top of the house, while a sentient pink piece of coral is hopping up and down and making happy noises.

There's also something that looks a little like a bear asleep in the front yard.]

Oh, hi!

Re: action

[smallestgrave]

[Alice has seen some pretty strange things since she got to Mayfield. But the coral gets a curious look.]

Hello, there. My name is Alice, and I think your name is on my list here. You're a Girl Scout, right?

[catchingmusic]

Yeah. I'm Lyra. It's nice to meet you, Alice!

Re: action

[smallestgrave]

It's very nice to meet you, Lyra. I was hoping you might join us at the next Girl Scout meeting.

[Squid Girl answers the door with a bowl of cereal in her hand, talking while she eats.]

Huh? What do you want?

[smallestgrave]

Hi there. My name is Alice and I'm the local troop leader for the girl scouts.

[She checks her list.]

Are you.....

Squid?

[No, that can't be right. Her list must be mistaken...]

[moemoetentacles]

Squid Girl. And I don't remember joining any scouts.

[smallestgrave]

Oh.... Well, it's very nice to meet you, um... Squid Girl.

[Too polite to ask...]

I think the town put you on my list. I never exactly signed up either, but.....

I really think it could be fun.

....

I got some letter about this. "Welcome to the troop", it said. What is this about?

Re: [phone]

[smallestgrave]

Girl Scouts. I'm not exactly sure, but it seems like it's a social club for young girls.

[nosoul_nomind]

[Keywords "social". Oh god.]

Is this one of those things that if I don't go, I get droned?

[smallestgrave]

Umm, well... I don't really know. But this list of names, and the handbook did come from the town. I never asked to be the troop leader either.....

But either way, I'd like to give this a try. It sounds like fun.
