[Her post starts out brightly cheerful.]

Good evening everyone! There's someone I want you all to meet, alright? He's really nice, and he needs friends. He's a little shy, but don't be afraid to come up to him, alright?

His name is Kid, and he's got really light hair -- white, even! -- and he looks really young, but I think he's older than me, maybe!

[A pause.]

Um.

Kevas?

No, I mean -- I wasn't trying to dictate what was best for him, I just...want him to be happy. That's all.

[70ftandcounting]

About a month, I think. Not as long as some of us.

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*God, this is just...*

you know what, nevermiind, maybe 2omebody el2e can explaiin iit two you, ii'm done here.

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Yeah, new in comparison to me, anyway.

Gotta say, it's a shame our host doesn't, like, announce people as they arrive. Seems like that would be his style.

[70ftandcounting]

[BUT SHE THOUGHT HE DID WANT THEM SOLLUX]

O-oh...

All right.

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

True! I wonder why he doesn't...

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Maybe no one ever mentioned they might enjoy the service. Think he has a suggestion box somewhere around here?

[Don't let Tammy near it, though. Who knows how that will turn out.]

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

A suggestion box?

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

You know, like a box where you can drop little notes to the management, telling them how they could improve services.

[It doesn't take Jael long to show up, since her room is on the first floor. And as she said, it's not hard to find them considering Kid's hair.

She waves and smiles widely as she approaches them.]

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

Oh my gosh, we should make one!

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

[Initially Tammy scoffs at the idea, but before she responds she stops to think about it...and yeah. Okay. That could be interesting. She's never made anything like that before, but how hard can it be, to nail some wood together?]

All right, I'm game. Any idea where I can find hammer, nails, and some wood?

[And maybe someone who knows what they're doing?]

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

Oh, I'm sure we can find those things around here somewhere! There's all sorts of things in this Keep!

You'll help me build one?

[OMG YAY]

/SCOOPS

[70ftandcounting]

Oh! See! There she is~!

[Beaming, she grabs poor Kid's hand and drags him to meet the woman.]

This is Kid! And this...this -- well. I'm not sure, so I guess I'm making new friends today too! I'm Rapunzel. What's your name?

[buildsthatwall]

[And suddenly she's dragging him towards a complete stranger. The fact they don't even know her doesn't seem to bother Rapunzel in the least. She's a lot better at this than he is.]

Um...hi.

[Wow...her ears are long.]

[drinkuntilidie]

[He frowns and ruffles her hair softly.]

Sunshine it be alright, I promise. A lot worse happened dat day den what joo did.

[audio]

[needsnobottle]

Sure. This place could use one, and I'm a solutions kind of girl.

[70ftandcounting]

That...that doesn't really make me feel better, Kevas...

[audio]

[70ftandcounting]

Great!

Um. Do you have any idea where to actually start?

[drinkuntilidie]

[Kevas sighs and kneels down to look her in the face even if she is hiding it in her hands at them moment.]

Remembuh what I told joo dat day? Far as I be concerned joo be apart of my family, and I love jah like jah are. Now dat ain't gonna change cuz of some silly t'ing da keep did to jah, alright?

[70ftandcounting]

[She peers at him between fingers, and sighs.]

I guess you're right. I just -- it was...

[Wince.]

Embarrassing.

[drinkuntilidie]

[He smiles at her.]

T'ink 'bout it dis way. Can't be any worse den da time joo saw me naked.

[He hates to bring that up again but it's true.]

[70ftandcounting]

[That brings a round of helpless giggles.]

Oh...that's...that's a good point.

[drinkuntilidie]

[There we go. Giggling is much better than being sad.]

Now it ain't be seemin' so bad huh?

[70ftandcounting]

I guess not. [Small smile.]

Thank you, Kevas.
