[Silk Ribbon]: combat prep sounds like a good idea…
[Silk Ribbon]: idk tho, what’s good for parties?
[♥ Cross ♥]: i could give outfit advice, though i’m guessing you’ve got that handled…
[♥ Cross ♥]: oh!
[♥ Cross ♥]: with roulette and devo…be gentle, but realistic
[Silk Ribbon]: huh?
[♥ Cross ♥]: with the whole adventure pitch, i mean
[♥ Cross ♥]: let them know the real dangers here- i wouldn’t want anyone to come along if they’re underprepared
[♥ Cross ♥]: but…if you can, try to pitch it in a way that doesn’t make them want to run for the hills. not sure if that’s even possible, but…
[♥ Cross ♥]: we’re going to do everything we can to keep this from being a suicide mission, and i’ll gladly give up some of my pay, resources, anything in exchange for them tagging along
[♥ Cross ♥]: i don’t expect anyone to want to do this for free…
[♥ Cross ♥]: so! make sure to add that i’m willing to compensate, with anything they want. i could even get them in with a more ideal position with jobs here, considering i have a good reputation here and could vouch for people…
[♥ Cross ♥]: i dunno! do your best!
[Silk Ribbon]: i’ll definitely try…
[♥ Cross ♥]: you can do it!
 

Your phone buzzes in your hand, and you panic a little as you realize it’s your work alarm.

[Silk Ribbon]: shit okay i gotta get going
[♥ Cross ♥]: okay! be good!

You speedrun getting your outfit on, looking yourself over in the bathroom mirror before heading out.

POLKA DOT: Looking sharp.
 

Work awaits.

Vine’s really got you busting your ass today, putting you on noodle duty for what feels like the millionth time this month.

VINE: Sorry kid, you’re just the best pasta maker here, and people have been asking when your sauce is coming back.
VINE: …some people said it was too spicy last time, though.
 

She gestures to the familiar jars of slime, the pantry all for you.

VINE: Let’s make something new. Your choice.
