So I know for human babies, you're supposed to play like Mozart next to their crib while they're sleeping to make them super geniuses or whatever - what about turtle babies? Is there like... a Symphonic Whale Calls Orchestra we can get a CD of or something?

Aquadude? Aquakid? Other Aquafolks? Can I get a weigh-in here?

What are the rest of you turtle-parents doing for your Mack truck cab sized turtle baby eggs? New parent anxiety, you know how it goes.

Private to Vanessa;

Hey girly, we missed some lessons due to sudden onset underwater turtle. Wanna schedule a make-up?

Private to Jaybird;

Soooo, did we go to the turtle dance? Did we make friends? Did we get laid? PS: you need it.

[ translation: are you alive, where are you, can i stalk you, hey, hi. oh wait, he knows something better ]

And on the side of shit you're actually interested in - by the way, I'm a weapons genius, do you want more stuff to kill people with? Because that can be arranged.

Private Kyle;

Uh, sound off? Olly olly oxen free? Marco?

[ basically, hey, what's up, bro, he misses you, did underwater dead turtle demons eat you? ]

Right. I forgot. [There's a soft laugh here.] Sure. I can bring the keyboard with me. It's kind of inconvenient to drag around, but I don't mind. [Besides she still has to pay Roy back for the lessons, anyway.]

It wasn't anything I didn't already know about myself. [But it was more tempting, sweeter. She wanted to take Frank's hope and let him know true despair. She was stronger than that impulse, though, so there's something.]

We can do it this way - swing by Sep's place- [ that's where the turtle is ] -you can drop the keyboard off there, we can go shoot pointy stuff at shit, then come back and have chill time.

[ He's quiet for a second, considering. That kind of stuff fucks with people, he knows that. Roy also knows he sucks at tempting, hence not going near it. ] You know I'm here for stuff outside of training you how to be awesome, right? We can talk if you need to.

Sure. [A beat.] Who's that? [:'D]

Oh, um... [She goes quiet for a moment. He can't see it, but she's chewing on the inside of her cheek in thought.] It's kind of a really complicated story. I would have to explain from the beginning.

Sep, uh, the other egg-dad. Okay, change of plans, swing by my place, I'll walk you to Sep's place after we train, cool?

[ There's a frown and he tilts his head at her. ] I got time. We can talk while we train. [ aka, we can talk instead of train because he wants you to be okay 8< ]

Okay, I think that will work much better for all of us. [:'D]

It's going to sound incredibly crazy, just so you know.
