♈ 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!

Uh huh. After that whole mushroom thing that happened, I bet people are feeling pretty down. I thought this might cheer them up.

Do you want any help with handing them out?

I wouldn't mind! We could talk while we hand them out. There is a lot to catch up with I believe.

Alright.

[And he takes a few flowers from her]

What do you want to talk about firtht?

Hmm...Oh! How is your lusus? No one is trying to hurt him right? That would be unfortunate.

[She grabs your hand and starts walking down the street, looking for people to give the flowers to.]

He'th fine. People have been thcared thitleth of him but from what I can tell no one hath tried to hurt him. He altho theemth to be fairing well with jutht normal human honey.

Oh, that's good! I'm glad he'll be fine here then.

I'm guessing human honey doesn't do the same thing as mind honey does? [Which, you know, is pretty cool. No suddenly destroying her hive and killing her bullshit ever again.]

I don't know, I haven't tried it.

[Not gonna chance anything]

I guess it's better that way!

The mother unit of my hive wants me to bake with her though. Some of the recipes she apparently has involves human honey. You think it would be safe then?

Maybe. It'd probably be better if one of uth tried the honey firtht jutht in cathe.

I can try it after we make them. It would seem silly to give everyone something I haven't tried! It could end up awful.

Yeah, that would be a dithathter.

...call me when you make them, I don't want thomething to happen to you when I'm not there.

You could come over and make them with me. The drone units aren't too bad when they're busy doing something.

And it would be fun. I think. I've never really done it before, so I wouldn't know.

Alright. When eckthactly do you want to?

Anytime! [Actually pick a date Aradia.]

When are you most free? We could try next week unless you want to try sooner.

I'm motht free on Thundayth. I work Monday through Thaterday at the movie theatre.

We can do Sunday then!

[She perks a bit at movie theatre.] Are they playing anything good at the theatre?

I don't know.

What exactly do you do there for work?

I uthually clean the theatre after movieth or hand out thnackth, nothing really interethting.

No one visits you to talk while you're working? Or are you not allowed to have friends around when you're working?

I don't know if I'm allowed or not becauthe no one vithitth me.

That doesn't sound like any fun.

I would visit you when I have time.

I wouldn't mind it if you vithited.

I bet I could give you a free candy bar.

I wouldn't mind coming to visit!

Maybe I'll get a job too. I've just been running around town on my free time mostly. Having something to do might be nice.

Do you know how jobs work here?
