[You know those pressing, intense questions that keep you up in the middle of the night? Well, this is one such moment and anyone unfortunate enough to be awake, or awakened, during these early morning hours will be hit with an extremely important q from a confused girl.]

What's a joke?

[And, a few seconds later-]

How do you 'prank' someone? Is that a treasure?

[This is it. She's going to have to request a whoopie cushion from the Storyteller. It would fall in line with the other garbage she's asked for over the months, but still. A point has been reached.]

Then I'll find one of those treasures.

[postictal]

[Hey, he doesn't live with Ren, so he doesn't have to worry about the long-term repercussions of this.]

Good luck. I'm not sure if you're likely to find any lying around, but hey. MIght as well try, right?

[catpiper]

That's right, that's right! I'm going to look everywhere for that special treasure.

[It's all fun and games until she leaves the camp!!]

I'll find it. Even if it takes a very long time, I'll get it.

[postictal]

[Or just...ask the Storyteller for one. That too.]

Just make sure you don't go wandering off on your own, right? [Adult supervision is still a thing with her, right?]

[catpiper]

[Look, supervision is questionable??? Kravitz hangs with her some days and tags along when she wants to go to new islands, but she tends to wander and she's been doing fine, thanks!!!]

I'm not by myself anymore. I have a good luck charm and a treasure rock.

[postictal]

The rock that you can use to call people for help?

[He can no longer tell if that's a treasure rock or not, but he hopes to god it counts.]

[catpiper]

Yes, I always have that treasure with me.

[So no worries, she's always good to go.]

[postictal]

Good. You keep that on you all the time.

[She's probably heard that a million times, but he's still going to repeat it because god forbid something happen to Ren at this point.]

[catpiper]

I will. I don't want to ever let it go. I'll keep it very safe.

[She loves this rock, Tim. It's not going anywhere. No worries.]

[postictal]

Good. That's...good.

[It's the most any of them can ask for, apparently.]

Stay safe, then, okay?

[catpiper]

I will. I'm always safe. You have to remember to run and hide from scary things too.

[postictal]

You know me. I always do.

[Usually.]
