♈ AA: Late Morning; Phone

Is everyone feeling better now? I hope so! Everyone was in a bit of a frenzy and I was really worried about everyone.

Maybe we can do something fun to get past it. That sounds like a good idea right? We shouldn't get stuck on all those negative feelings! Things really aren't that bad! It was just a really huge bump or something!

I saw that there's an environmental, recreational area that would be suitable for outside activities. I think we'd be able to play there right? Does anyone want to do that?

♈ AA: Afternoon; Action at the Park

[So Aradia was given a jump rope by the drone mom in her house and was ushered off to the park.

Except...Aradia doesn't know what a jump rope is. Instead, she has taken one of the hats from the closet in her hive and is now running around the park with that hat jammed on her head and using the jump rope as a whip.] This isn't a very good whip! I wonder if there's supposed to be an alternate use to this item.

[Even so, she'll continue her fun in the park.]

♈ AA: Late Afternoon; Action around the Town

[Being the good girl she is, she's picked a whole bunch of flowers from around the park and she's giving them to anyone that looks like they might be feeling down. Nothing like trying to bring some cheer to others.] Here you go! you look like you could use something to cheer you up.

I have read and seen that humans often enjoy picked decorative plant-life as gifts to make others feel better. I hope that it helps!

[ Golbez isn't particularly upset, but he is the sort who always looks perpetually grumpy. He stares in surprise when the girl hands him a flower. ]

...that's very kind of you, thank you. [ To keep it or not to keep it? Well, she seems happy enough to be giving them out, so... ] Did you say you've read that humans do this?

It's no problem! After what happened, I think everyone needs something to cheer them up a bit.

I did! I'm not usually human. I only look like one because of this place. I'm still unfamiliar about human interactions, but I saw that this is a common thing to do. Perhaps I was wrong though?

[ Interesting. Of course, looking human is no guarantee that she is human... but if she isn't supposed to look human but does, that says even more about the power the people in charge of this town wield. ]

No, you were right. It's common where I'm from, at least. [ Even if he's never actually given or received any. ] If you don't mind -- if you aren't human, what are you?

Oh goodie! I must be getting better at this then. It's kind of fun to learn all these new things. I would be happy if this place had ruins though. Excavating was one of my favorite things to do.

I'm a troll!

Of course. You can never learn too much.

A troll? [ Even though she seems so rational and... un-rampaging-monster-like? Skepticismmm ] What sort of world do you come from?

Yes. I think human culture depict us differently though.

My home was a much harsher world. From our grub days, we had to fight for survival. Our lusus would choose us and we'd grow up with them. It's not so bad though. I like it here though.

Ah. I had assumed... well, I'm sorry for assuming something different.

This place is rather nice on the surface. [ And it definitely sounds better than what she described. ] But I can't say I like it, myself.

You don't have to apologize. I wasn't expecting you to know about my race just by looking at me or anything.

I guess the place you come from is much more peaceful? It seems it is common for humans to live more peaceful lives. Although I have also read many brutalities from the books for classes too!

There's plenty of war and strife among humans. It's more that I don't appreciate being kidnapped.

I guess being kidnapped is unfortunate! But there's no reason to lament over what's happened either.

If you get so wrapped up in being angry at being kidnapped, you'll miss everything else. [THE MOST OPTIMISTIC.]

[ Wow, so optimistic. ] I'll keep that in mind. [ Because he really doesn't have the heart to shatter her OPTIMISTIC DREAMS by telling her he has to go back and save the world. It wouldn't help anything anyway. ]

I'm sure you have more of those flowers to deliver, so I'll let you be.

[Does creating a new universe count as saving the world? :(]

Oh right! Well, I hope it helped you out at least! It wouldn't really do me any good if I handed these to people and it didn't make them any happier.

Yes, that it did. [ He's still pretty grumpy actually ] Thank you, again.

[She hands him a few more.] For your hive! I don't know if you have anyone else living with you, but it makes your hive look a little less boring.

Hive... ah, my home? I appreciate it. [ He takes them, then nods and turns to go, nodding to her. Bad at social niceties, he is. ]

[She waves happily at the other before continuing down the street to hand out more flowers.]
