ROLE: The Zoo

[saturations]

ICE CREAM SOCIAL

Today, instead of going through your normal archway, you find this flyer in your hand. You get a text from your Resident - they tell you to meet them at the cafe. And when you do, you find all four Residents sitting inside, with a bunch of cake and ice cream. Yes, for breakfast. It's fine.

On the table in front of you are four sets of rules - rules you may find familiar. Big red Xs have been crossed through them, and scrawled underneath are new rules:

RULES
1. Paint your friend a picture!
2. Have fun!

After reading the rules, you find that there is only one thing left to do...

TALK TO...

[saturations]

[your residents are here, enjoying sweets!]

[georeject]

[wowee...]

Oh. This is a surprise.

[fretbro]

[he grins a little.]

What, the cake?

[graverot]

Sorry we had to miss out on our painting time this week. It just seemed better to do it this way.

[who could say why…]

[aitou]

[Hewwo!! He looks very surprised by all this.]

Eh, sweets?

[fretbro]

[hands him a bowl of ice cream]

[rindude]

May as well enjoy it, right?

[graverot]

You guys deserve it.

[you know, for all the trauma. Ice cream will fix it!]

[ktiseos]

Something of a group venture, this time?

[fretbro]

Yeah. It's not dreams, but - y'know. Kinda figured you would want to help.

[graverot]

Just seems like it makes sense. Painting’s a tough job. It’s important whoever goes about it is acting out of care and putting their heart into it.

[and some people don’t love themselves enough to be trusted with it…….]

[countermeasures]

[...well.

she's just going to help herself to some cake and ice cream. she's an adult, she can do what she wants for breakfast.]

...this is new!

[rindude]

[with a spoon in his mouth.]

I did tell you we might still meet today anyway.

[fretbro]

[hell YEAH cake for breakfast]

I kinda like it. It's real lively.

[graverot]

It’s nice to get to see all of your faces for once.

[baalislife]

[ dessert should be first for every meal … ]

[fretbro]

[tries to steal part of her cake

he is living... dangerously]

[pura]

Oh...

[Ice cream for breakfast. She looks excited, and like she's trying very hard not to look excited.]

Did you all pitch in to put this together? Thank you.

[rindude]

[...nudging over a bowl of ice cream? welcome to the club of being excited and trying not to look excited.]

You guys did a lot of work the last several weeks, and...you already knew about each other. This made the most sense to be together now.

[graverot]

[Shale is here! He is just busy at the moment hanging some cute pictures on the cafe fridge: Itsuki,
Aymeric, Marceline, Percy, Hot Pants and Vax. Cute! The Percy and Hot Pants ones have a pretty glitter rainbow effect to them, too.]

Make sure whatever you make is as nice as these.

DECISION

[saturations]

[Paint a picture of someone in the game and choose up to three colors to paint with... together.]

[ktiseos]

They are painting Clarte together, using a combination of fern, honeycomb, and stone!

Jiuqing and Nogiku are making sure to paint Clarte looking joyous to be alive, with a very happy expression.

Yasusada is making their wings extra fluffy and cute.

Clarte is just watching, until Emet-Selch shoves a brush at them and insists they join; they are helping to fill in colors.

Emet-Selch is adding detail here and there, but his primary contribution is managing not to micromanage the distribution of color, let's be honest. We are all painting with our hearts today.

DISCUSSION

[saturations]

[just scream at each other loudly]

[ktiseos]

Well. I do not think we need to discuss a subject at all.
