Family Talk

"Yang is a great mom. She raised me, after all."

Written for a prompt by hunnyB on AO3: "It would be cute to see something like Ruby talking proudly about her sister to her teammates and friends and Yang opening about their past. I like to see people looking at Yang with a sad-surprised face. Or maybe Ruby telling everyone Yang is basically a mother to her, and Yang tears up and everyone is surprised."

I took way longer writing this than I should have, because I kept fussing with when I should set it, until I finally gave up and went ahead and set this sometime in the future, when Salem is defeated and they're all happy and safe and share an apartment together and they all live happily ever after. And, since it's sometimes hard to get Ruby to talk about things, I decided to loosen Ruby's tongue a bit, so have a doped-up post wisdom teeth surgery Ruby. (Also because I thought it'd be adorable if the first thing Ruby does while on painkillers is talk about how awesome her older sister is.) Enjoy!

"We're back!" Yang calls over her shoulder, nudging the door shut behind her until she hears it close with a loud click. She turns to set the bags she's carrying on the counter—and immediately has to lunge forwards to keep her sister from faceplanting into the tile. "Rubes, we just got back from the doctor. Please try to avoid braining yourself for now."

"Whatever, mom," Ruby mumbles, words slightly slurred. Yang steadies her with a hand on her shoulder and steers her over to the couch.

"Here, lie down before you fall down," she says, nudging Ruby onto the couch. Her sister flops onto the cushions, giggling loudly.

Blake smiles fondly, finally looking up from her book. "How'd it go?" she calls from the armchair, absently flipping to the next page.

"Everything went fine, the surgery went smoothly, all that good stuff," Yang replies. "She'll be sore for the next few days, but we're all stocked up on soup and ice cream and stuff for smoothies, so she should be fine."

"You're lucky, Blake," Weiss teases from the doorway. "Yang's already preparing for when you two have kids. She's going to be a great mom."

Both Blake and Yang blush furiously at Weiss' comment. Yang attempts to head back to the kitchen, but she's stopped by a hand on her arm. "Come sit with me," Ruby whines. "I'm cold. Wan' snuggles."

"Ruby, I need to put the ice cream away before it melts," Yang sighs, attempting to pull herself free.

But despite being hopped up on strong painkillers, her sister's grip doesn't budge. "Please, Yang?"

"I'll take care of the ice cream," Weiss offers, strolling over to the collection of grocery bags on the counter. "You know how she gets when she's like this. She's not going to shut up until you sit with her."

"Fine, fine," Yang says, nudging Ruby over to make room on the couch. "Thanks, Weiss. Happy now?" she asks her sister.

Ruby nods into Yang's thigh, having arranged herself with her head in her sister's lap. Yang smiles fondly, running a hand through her sister's hair. "How're you feeling?"

"Mouth hurts. Tired. M' head feels weird."

"Yeah, you're not gonna be feeling too great for the next few days. Why don't you take a nap?" Yang suggests. "Sleep off the worst of it. You can have some ice cream when you wake up."

The younger girl, frowns, shaking her head. "Don' wanna sleep," she complains.

"Could've told you it wouldn't be that easy," Weiss says, settling herself into the chair across from Blake. Ruby frowns at her. "What's wrong?"

"What you said. Before. Yang is a great mom." Ruby looks directly at Weiss, suddenly seeming free of her medicated haze. "She raised me, after all."

Silence falls over the room, as the reactions from the other girls vary. Blake has a knowing look on her face, but she also seems very sad all of a sudden. Yang looks embarrassed. Weiss has a curious expression on her face. "What are you talking about, Ruby?"

"Dad wasn't around much, when we were kids," Ruby mumbles. Blake and Weiss lean closer to hear her better. "So, Yang took care of us. She'd read stories to me before bed, and help me with my homework, and packed lunches, and she even cooked for us. She was always there for me."

Their teammates look at the pair of sisters with a mixture of awe and sadness. They'd both known that the two were close, but they'd never had a chance to see why they were so close—or just how deep that bond between them ran.

"Ruby, we don't have to talk about this now," Yang says hastily, bowing her head so that her face is hidden behind a curtain of blonde hair. Even with her face covered, it's impossible to miss the way that she'd blushing.

Ruby shakes her head. "No, I wanna talk about it. You're so awesome and you do so much for me, but you never want me to tell anyone about it," she whines, trying to push herself up to a sitting position.

"Ok, ok, don't get all worked up while you still have stitches in your mouth," Yang scolds her, gently pressing on her shoulders until Ruby gives in and lays back down. "I just can't believe that you'd want to compliment me after living off of my cooking for so long."

Ruby blinks up at her, a fond but slightly dopey smile on her face. "It wasn' that bad."

"It wasn't great, though," Yang points out.

"We're still alive." Ruby gives a lazy half-shrug. "We did eat a lot of sandwiches, though."

"After all these years you're still complaining about that? I'll have you know that sandwiches are very healthy. You've got bread and meat and boom, both your basic food groups. If you're feeling adventurous you can even add some lettuce. Then you've even got veggies. I rest my case. Sandwiches are the ultimate food."

Ruby giggles loudly, before her face splits with a wide yawn. "Yang? I'm tired." Her eyes fall shut, and within seconds she's snoring.

"Finally," Yang lets out a sigh of relief.

Weiss shakes her head incredulously. "Those painkillers are really strong, too. I've never seen anyone be able to fight them like that."

"It's sheer willpower," Blake says softly. "Ruby is the most determined person I've ever met. I guess it shouldn't that surprising."

"Oh, she's stubborn alright," Yang agrees. "You should have seen her as a little kid. She was determined to get into everything. I lost track of her every time I turned around. And once she developed her semblance? Good luck keeping up with the kid with super speed!" She laughs cheerfully, but her expression is still pensive.

"I hadn't realized," Blake says, a distant look on her face. "That you two were so close. You told me a little bit about your family, when we were back at Beacon, but it never occurred to me how much responsibility you took on as a child."

"And you told me, back at Haven, about how your mom left, and you lost Ruby's mom too, but I didn't realize, even then, how hard that must have been on you." Weiss looks guilty. She wraps her arms around herself. "I'm sorry I kept asking about it. I didn't mean to upset you."

"I'm not upset," Yang says softly. "I'm just—I'm not really used to talking about it, that's all. It's not really something I try to think about too much. It's a little easier these days, since I've got you guys, but it's still hard to think about how my dad was after we lost Summer. He just kind of—shut down. Don't get me wrong, he was still there, he still made sure we had food in the house, and he had Qrow check in on us when he could. But he was busy with school, so." She sighs heavily. "I just did what anyone would have, in our situation. Someone had to take care of us, and make sure that Ruby grew up okay. I don't think that I did anything special, honestly."

"But you did," Weiss says firmly. "Trust me, Yang, what you did was very special. Most people in your situation would have just given up. They definitely wouldn't have tried as hard as you did. You're an amazing older sister and Ruby adores you."

"You should be proud of yourself," Blake murmurs. "Not only did you raise an amazing little sister, but you didn't turn out too bad yourself. Not only did you handle a very difficult set of circumstances beautifully, but you even came out the other side smiling. Not many people can say that."

"Thanks, guys," Yang whispers, wiping away the tear tracks on her face with a watery smile. They sit in a comfortable silence for a few minutes. Across from her, her girlfriend has settled back in her chair, reabsorbed in her book. Weiss is messing with the remote, trying to see if anything good is on. And Ruby is snoring softly, laying half-cured with her head in Yang's lap. After all these years, they still fit together perfectly.

"I couldn't ask for a better family."

Not Mary Jane (Charlotte’s Diary)

This entry is inspired by Day 6 of the Choices August Challenge hosted by @cora-nova!

Dedicated to @mariaoz and @itsbrindleybinch , my wonderful Jaime-loving friends! =D

Tagging also the amazing @jlpplays1 @desiree-0816 @lady-kato @a-i-n-a-a-s-h and @flyawayboo ! Thank you for all your support! =D

Day 6 Prompt: Hippie

Pairing: Jaime x MC (Charlotte)

Summary: The Halloween party fails spectacularly for Charlotte.

Note: This takes place after Fiona’s party, an important moment in the story. I’ll hopefully upload that entry soon, but as you read this just know that Jason is a nice guy Charlotte met there.

Unedited.

--------

10.31..2011

Dear Diary,

Only a few hours ago, Halloween was here. Dawn and I already bought everything we needed for the party, and Shane and Jaime agreed to meet us at my house. The party was bound to be somewhat interesting, considering that only a month ago I went on my first date with Jason. So far everything was going smoothly, and I really hoped tonight wouldn’t be the night everything gets ruined.

“Look at me!” Dawn smirked. She turned around, her blue dress shining more than anything else in the whole room. It was too much.

I winced and shifted my gaze, wondering how Shane would be able to bear this walking glowstick as his friend-date. “You’re too sparkly. Change the dress.”

Dawn turned back to the mirror, gazing thoughtfully at her reflection. “Well, I like it. It does scream popstar, doesn’t it?”

I shook my head. “You’re cruel.”

Dawn turned to me. She raised a brow at my ginger wig and simple clothes. “You’re really going to wear this?”

I hesitantly touched my red hair. “I guess. Jason is a Spiderman fan, and we wanted to share a costume. There wasn’t much else to choose from, so I guess it’s this.”

She frowned. “Are you sure? You don’t even like superheros.”

“It’s okay,” I shrugged. “We watched this movie on our first date. The idea behind the costume is romantic.”

She sighed. “If you’re sure.”

Once we were sure everything was ready, we headed downstairs. After many minutes of boredom, there was a sudden knock on the door. Both Dawn and I hurried to the door, finding both of the boys standing at the entrance.

Dawn jumped on Shane, who hugged her back, chuckling. “You look great, Shane!”

He sighed and smiled sheepishly. “Thanks.”

I smiled at Shane’s simple costume. He wasn’t wearing much: jeans, a white t-shirt, a necklace of the ‘peace’ sign. It didn’t make him look like a model, but that’s how last-minute costumes worked.

I turned to Jaime, and blushed when I saw his outfit. He was almost the embodiment of Aladdin in his baggy pants and purple vest. Jaime’s mom always went all out every year, which was what gave us the option to dress up every year. Ever since we were kids we dressed up together, a different movie each year. When I was younger she worked on both costumes, but once I was older I worked on mine alone, and sometimes side by side with her. It may have been strange to other people, but Jaime’s mother was almost family, so it wasn’t all that embarrassing.

This was the first year Jaime and I didn’t match, and something about it broke my heart. It was basically tradition, and seeing the sudden change right in front of my eyes… well, it was disorienting. I guess this is another downside to puberty.

“Jaime… you look…”

“It’s fine, Char. You don’t need to say it.” He smiled weakly as he studied my outfit. Something shone behind his eyes, but it didn’t seem like glee. It was almost… sad.

“What’s wrong?” I found myself asking.

Jaime met my eyes. Once again I was struck by the wisdom in his eyes, one of the things I loved the most about him. “Are you sure you should go like this, Char? We could always wear last year’s costumes.”

I lowered my head. “I can’t. I promised Jason I’ll meet him like this.”

“Wearing a wig for a costume of something you don’t even like? Really, Char?”

I backed away. A strange fire lit inside me, and I didn’t try to hold it back. “What do you care, Jaime? You already showed how much you liked my hair.”

Don’t look at me like that, with your annoying empty pages. He did just raise his voice at me, okay?

Jaime swallowed. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth, but then turned away. “I’ll be in the car,” he declared before walking off. I watched, the same feeling still simmering inside of me, when Dawn turned to me. “Char, you took it too far.”

“Why? It’s the truth.”

“Can’t you see? Jaime just-” Dawn shook her head before taking hold of my arm. “Whatever, let’s go.”

I hated the way she took such a strong grip on me, but I reluctantly went with her and Shane to the car. Ever since Fiona’s party, Dawn and Jaime acted strange around each other. It was almost as if they now shared a secret about me, and I didn’t even know it.

Actually, that probably is the situation.

There was even more silence on the way there. Jaime talked a bit with Dawn and Shane, but the second Shane parked, he left the car. He did wait for the other two, but he wouldn’t even look at me.

It hurt. It really did, but I don’t need him. He’s just a boy.

I smiled when I saw Jason. He was dressed as the other half of me, a young and handsome Peter Parker. His outfit was just like in the movie I hardly remembered: just a normal attendant with a secret no-one knew.

In this case, the secret was his costume. Seriously, no one could tell what we dressed up as.

Not that he cared. And I didn’t either.

“Charlotte!” he called as he saw me. I ran to him, away from brooding Jaime and judgemental Dawn. Into his arms, into safety. He held me close as he gave me a quick peck on the cheek. “Let me show you off to a few of my friends.”

I forced a smile. “Okay.”

Jason wrapped his arm around my waist as he gently led me to a group of older guys. They were fairly friendly, which was more than good, considering none of my friends were. Maybe I could’ve exchanged this group for Jaime and the others. They’re not bad.

“Anyway, this is Mary Jane,” Jason said after a few short sentences. I nodded in confirmation, when I realized he didn’t use my name. Mary Jane?

“Nice to meet you, Mary Jane.” One of the guys smirked. He scanned me curiously before his smile grew. “Yup, you’re fairly similar to Spiderman’s Mary Jane. What a coincidence.”

My cheeks heated up. A strange mix of embarrassment and anger filled me. Why did I think this was a good idea?

“I’m not Mary Jane,” I denied, but the guys didn’t hear me. They were too busy laughing at the hilarious joke.

I forcefully tugged on Jason’s arm. At first he didn’t budge, but I wasn’t just going to stand here and wait for him. So finally, after a few more minutes of humiliation, we were gone.

I could finally breathed in relief. Well, those guys were jerks.

“Char, what’s wrong? You acted weird over there,” Jason uttered.

I turned so I was facing him, trying to hold the powerful forces inside. “I am not Mary Jane. This is a costume, Jason. A costume.”

He grinned. “Hey, relax, Char. I was only kidding.”

I huffed. “Fine, but please… don’t do it again.”

“If you care so much, Char, I won’t. Ok?”

I clenched my teeth. “Of course, thank you.”

The next half hour was fine. Jason continued with his jokes, but now they weren’t targeted at me. Yes, I was still upset from earlier, but slowly I was starting to forget it ever happened. He meant it as a joke, after all.

At some point Jason left me to talk to another one of his friends, leaving me alone. I sighed and searched the room for any other familiar faces, and stopped when my gaze fell on Jaime.

By now my anger wasn’t completely gone, but I was still able to apologize. So I forced myself in his direction, trying to ignore the rapid beating of my heart. It would be okay. It would be okay.

Jaime stood on the side, talking to a girl I didn’t even know. She seemed cute and likable, but something about her rubbed me the wrong way.

I tried to catch Jaime’s attention, but he was too engrossed in the talk he had with the girl. I stood there, debating whether to persist, when a warm hand touched my back.

“Hey, I’m back.” Jason smiled. He moved so he was blocking my field of vision, so now I couldn’t see Jaime. I frowned as I tried to pass Jason, but he held onto me with persistence.

Reluctantly, I gave in. “What?”

Jason smiled. “Well, I was wondering if-”

Before he could finish the sentence, someone pushed me from behind. I fell sideways, and just as I was about to hit the floor Jason caught me.

The group of jerks from before started cheering, and soon enough people were applauding “the hero”. I was so stunned I just took it all in, but then one of his friends called out.

“And Peter Parker saves Mary Jane again!”

I fumed. Seriously? They push me when I’m right next to Jason, and suddenly I’m a damsel in distress?

I had enough. “Jason.”

He still smiled when he saw how angry I was. “Yes, Mary Jane?”

I tried not to explode, but I was burning inside. “Was this your plan?”

“It was just a joke, Char. Relax.”

Jason moved to cup my face, but I moved his hand away. His smile wasn’t nearly as charming as it was the first time we met. “Pushing me is not a joke, Jason! You may want to seem like a hero, but I don’t need some superhero to save me! I can very well stand up for myself, and my feet can hold me perfectly fine when people aren’t pushing me to prove a point! So leave me alone!”

I turned my back to him as I walked away. I ignored all the stares on me and my strange costume as I rushed outside. I didn’t want to stay here one second longer than I had to. If that meant I would walk home, then so be it.

Hurried footsteps chased me. I turned toward the chaser, when I saw Jaime’s dark eyes. They weren’t cold, like before, but rather sweet and worried. “Hey, Char. Where are you going?”

“Home.”

Jaime bit his lip. He turned around, and I saw the girl from before waiting for him patiently. He was busy, even if he wanted to accompany me.

I watched him. His gaze shifted between the two of us, and when his eyes fell on me for the last time, I knew he decided.

“I’m coming with you.” He declared.

I gaped at him. “Are you sure?”

Jaime nodded. “Positive.”

And then we started walking. Jaime’s warmth was so comforting, almost like the warm blankets of my bed. It felt so good to just bask in him and forget about everything, as if this beautiful world included just us.

I’ll dream about that tonight. Tomorrow I’ll write the rest.

Sincerely,

Charlotte (NOT Mary Jane)

Universe 1.1.1 Part 9- Weird Questions

Chax -> Anniey

SunMinerals: Hey, can you do me a favor?

HealthPotions: Depends on the favor.

SunMinerals: Nothing too bad. I just want to play a question and answer game in the main chat.

SunMinerals: But the second I suggest something I’ll get shot down.

HealthPotions: What questions?

SunMinerals: {link-100 questions no one ever asked}

HealthPotions: Most of these are fine, some are suspect, but all of them are distinctly Earthly rather ran Soconian

SunMinerals: I’ll let you know when I find a Socon with an internet.

HealthPotions: Kay

HealthPotions: How were you planning on running this anyway?

SunMinerals: {Link- custom dice roller}

SunMinerals: Roll the 13 sided for one of us, the 100 sided for a random question.

HealthPotions: Okay, yeah I’ll run this. Gimme a few minutes.

General Chat

IvyHearts: Okay everyone

IvyHearts: I already talked to Stars about this, but he wanted to give you all a say as well.

IvyHearts: We need to submit a team bonding activity for the month, so either we do one of the standard ones or we can play a question and answer game here on the chat now.

IvyHearts: Give me a thumbs up react on this post if you want to do the q&a game here.

[7 people reacted with ‘thumbs up’]

TeamCoach: How is this going to work?

IvyHearts: I have a list of odd questions and a couple of virtual dice. I’ll roll to see who gets what question.

TeamCoach: Okay, that seems fair.

[Briar has reacted with ‘thumbs up’ to Give me a thumbs up react on this post if you want to do the q&a game here.]

IvyHearts: Since I haven’t reacted, that’s 9/13 who are good with this.

IvyHearts: I’m guessing @HammerOfChallenge doesn’t care either way and @FrostLizard would prefer to do neither of them, but this is still a job we have so tough luck.

IvyHearts: Same to @LuxuryLightning and @GoodTwin

IvyHearts: I’ll just start rolling now.

IvyHearts: And hey, at least we start with the person who’s always an open book. @SexyRecon do you have any magazine subscriptions?

SexyRecon: No actual subscriptions, but I do pick up a couple of prank based mags when I see them on shelves.

HammerOfChallenge: That’s tamer than I expected.

SexyRecon: And a few AlChemistry based ones when they start boasting about new sunblock formulas.

ChemLab: D-don’t bother with that. I have discounted subsc-scriptions to all AlChemistry based magazines. I’ll leave the sunblock ones in th-the lab.

SexyRecon: Ooh, nice.

IvyHearts: Look at that, bonding already! Albeit between folks who share the lab.

IvyHearts: Anyways! @TeamCoach this one is obvious but tea or coffee?

TeamCoach: Tea.

GoggledBlade: You really should have re-rolled that one.

IvyHearts: That was a re-roll, the first one had something to do with Earth celebrities we don’t know.

TeamCoach: Ah

GoggledBlade: Ah

IvyHearts: I’ll modify this question. @GoggledBlade as a kid what did you dress up as for costume parties?

GoggledBlade: My folks had me dress up as historical Taroshan swordsmen when I went to those. Keep me connected to the culture and such.

StarTippedArrows: Were you even taking kendo or fencing when you did that?

GoggledBlade: Not formally, but mom did keep my and my sibs up with her family’s style before we could take actual classes.

IvyHearts: Let’s keep this ball rolling! @FrostLizard are you afraid of heights.

FrostLizard: No.

IvyHearts: I suppose that’s the best I’ll get. @GunsNSkulls did you ever get cosmetic surgery?

GunsNSkulls: Do wisdom teeth count?

IvyHearts: No.

GunsNSkulls: Then no

GoggledBlade: You needed to get your wisdom teeth out?

SexyRecon: If you’re going to say what I think you’re going to say, don’t.

StarTippedArrows: Taki, did your wisdom teeth grow in without incident?

GoggledBlade: Did no one else’s?

RufflesInFlight: Its pretty uncommon. My wisdom teeth never got out of my gums, so the dentists are keeping tabs on them.

ChemLab: Same here.

DancingButterfly: I only grew two- bottom left and top right.

StarTippedArrows: I know genetics is a wonky science but how did that happen

DancingButterfly: No idea, my mom and siblings had all four of theirs.

IvyHearts: Warning- this is one of the weirder questions. @RufflesInFlight did you ever poop in the woods?

HammerOfChallenge: Lachlan’s dirt, that is not enough of a warning.

RufflesInFlight: Between being part of a jack of all trades miniguild and a temple exploring archeologist? I’m sure quite a few of us have.

RufflesInFlight: But not me. I could always fly to a more suitable spot.

IvyHearts: Lucky you.

IvyHearts: Oh, I finally rolled myself. ‘Have I ever won a contest?’

IvyHearts: I haven’t. I entered a few during my school times, but its hard to win in contests here in Emplien without a bit of bribery, even if you’re part of the number 3 family.

ChemLab: That’s why I only d-did mail in contests for AlChemistry stuff while I was in sch-school.

GunsNSkulls: Oh Jin, I just now thought about how school woulda been for ya Von. How’d you do?

ChemLab: For the m-most part no one bothered me too much because they’d then h-have to deal with Anniey.

IvyHearts: Damn right. Also, after I graduated, I took us both to Asmeau to get our mage certifications.

ChemLab: So by the t-time I came back I was a certified mage, and the teachers were fond of me for being able to actually understand all their teaching.

ChemLab: Which meant despite the u-uptick of hostility everything was still fine at school.

IvyHearts: People were hostile to you after I left?

StarTippedArrows: I want names, particularly family names.

RufflesInFlight: I’ll take the full names.

IvyHearts: After they get those names, I want territory locations

FrostLizard: Give me all that information

ChemLab: C-calm down. All of you.

ChemLab: I still graduated as a mage and with the equivalent of two years of ec-extra education. One year of badly behaved peers was n-not even a bump on the road, relatively speaking.

SexyRecon: Wait, you graduated on time with the equivalent of two years?

SexyRecon: That beats my record where I took an extra year of education and graduated with the equivalent of two.

HammerOfChallenge: Didn’t we graduate at the same year? I took two years of extra blacksmithing education.

SexyRecon: I was officially part of the 919/921 class because I was born so late in the year, but graduated in 920.

GoggledBlade: Whoo class of 920! Even though I only did one year of my optional education instead of two.

IvyHearts: Okay lets not get into our graduating classes, lets move on with the game!

IvyHearts: @LuxuryLightning what is your least favorite show?

LuxuryLightning: There was this one show I saw just before I graduated. The main character was basically me with red hair.

LuxuryLightning: She had it all at the beginning of the movie, and ended up losing it all and ended up completely humiliated!

LuxuryLightning: I felt for her, truly. I hated everything about the show besides her.

IvyHearts: I’m gonna start pruning results now, try and get each of us to answer once.

SexyRecon: You’re taking a while

IvyHearts: I’m getting a lot of repeat results, including to the questions somehow.

IvyHearts: FINALLY! @HammerOfChallege do you sing in the shower?

HammerOfChallenge: No, I don’t

GoggledBlade: Liar

TeamCoach: Liar

GoodTwin: Liar

HammerOfChallenge: I’m not lying.

GoggledBlade: Mahn, dude, you sing every time we finish our PT

TeamCoach: It’s a mumble-singing, but its definitely not a hum.

HammerOfChallenge: . . . do I?

HammerOfChallenge: It’s not on purpose.

GoodTwin: I sang along with you once and you didn’t realize?

GoggledBlade: My ears still feel blessed from that shower

IvyHearts: Isn’t Aaron our second best singer, below Von?

TeamCoach: I think Mahn actually gives Aaron a run for his money.

IvyHearts: Huh.

IvyHearts: Anyways, @GoodTwin favorite type of fruit pie?

GoodTwin: My dad makes really good pear tarts, does that count?

LuxuryLightning: He really does, I’ve yet to find any pie or tart that compares.

StarTippedArrows: That sounds intriguing.

IvyHearts: It does. @ChemLab what kind of records do you have?

ChemLab: Just the o-ones you gave me as a gift. I listen to t-tapes more often.

SexyRecon: The Otturi language tapes right? The ones you sing along with when you’re in your element in the lab?

ChemLab: Yes.

IvyHearts: @DancingButterfly to our resident pink expert, do you think ok for guys to wear pink?

DancingButterfly: I mean, why can’t they?

SexyRecon: Anniey did say earlier this list references Earth things, and this is one of their gender roles/ restrictions/ whatever. Pink for girls and blue for boys.

DancingButterfly: Pink is just light red though?

RufflesInFlight: Girls get part of the red spectrum and boys get the whole of blue?

StarTippedArrows: Why are the Earths the way they are?

GoggledBlade: Is pink the opposite of blue somehow?

LuxuryLightning: They’re not even opposites on the color wheel, if that’s what they were trying to do. Blue’s opposite is orange, and pink being a part of red means its opposite would be in the greens!

IvyHearts: As fun as bashing Earth culture is, that’s probably not company approved bonding.

IvyHearts: @StarTippedArrows final question, do you count your steps as you walk?

StarTippedArrows: No, not really? I usually measure my runs by what landmarks I pass or make it to.

StarTippedArrows: Or if I have to use a gym treadmill, by time.

FrostLizard: Are we done now?

IvyHearts: Yeah, mom should accept this as a team bonding activity.

FrostLizard: Good
