[There are [2] very important reasons Ren's speaking to the world at large right now. Number one:]

June 19th is Tim's birthday, so you should smile if you see him and tell him he did a good job getting older. He's very good at that. [Pause, and then-] He has a talent for making birthdays too. If you don't know yours, he can tell you. I think he uses magic for that kind of thing.

But you have to say 'Happy Birthday, Tim' first-that's what you do.

[Nice.

And for the second item on her terrible agenda.]

What sound does a turtle make? It's not 'nya' or 'woof' or 'neigh' and they don't know what bubbles mean.

[They're weird!! Someone help. She needs to tell these animals something very important and she has no idea how to do it.]

Comments

[tomodachi]

Oh yeah, I remember him! He picked out August 7th as my birthday here.

[Which... is still two months away or so, isn't it? Boo. Oh well.]

[catpiper]

Seto and I will remember. We'll tell you 'happy birthday' when that month gets here.

[tomodachi]

Yeah, I know you guys won't forget.

[Friends never forget this sort of thing!]

So why are you wanting to talk to turtles anyway?

[catpiper]

I want to tell them they are pretty treasures and need to hide better, but they don't understand me.

[tomodachi]

Hmm... maybe we should take them somewhere better to hide, then?

[catpiper]

I can't lift the big ones and the mom might get mad.

[Teaching them to hide is preferable to getting hissed at by a turtle mama.]

[tomodachi]

I can try to lift the big ones? We'll move the mom too if we have to, it should be able to see that we're just trying to do something nice.

[catpiper]

They might bite us.

[DOES THAT NOT TERRIFY YOU. This is why she's trying to let them know her #bigplan first!!]

[tomodachi]

I'd like to see 'em try to bite someone tough like me.

[Crow no--]

[catpiper]

[There are not enough #unsure icons in the world for this moment. SHE CAN'T DEAL WITH HIM.]

I don't want them to hurt you.

[tomodachi]

They won't! Trust me, I got this.

[I mean, he's write that it won't hurt, but he can't guarantee that they won't try to bite him anyway.]

[catpiper]

[DOES HE 'GOT THIS'?

Yes, she trusts him, but also he's. him. So you know.]

We should find Seto first.

[tomodachi]

Oh yeah, we should!

[thank god is he actually seeing sense for once--]

It'll be much more fun having him do this too!

[... oh. of course he would see it that way.]

[catpiper]

[#INHALES

The second of relief she feels when he agrees is immediately offset by his nonsense. She can't even-she's not sure if Seto would even be on her side. He would probably want Deal With This. At least they'll be safer if he's with them. She's 100% sure on that front.]

I think he went that way.

[LET'S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH.]

[tomodachi]

Then let's go look for him!

[He starts to walk away from her as if expecting her to just follow automatically, but then he pauses, turning back to face her.]

And hey, don't worry so much: with the three of us working together, we'll totally be able to get this done, yeah?

[catpiper]

[Seto is the person she trusts most in the world, so she can't help to nod at his comment. Yeah, it's impossible to do alone, but maybe the three of them can put their heads together and figure this out.]

Yeah, we can do it. We'll help those treasures.
