... I hope you've only lost your toothbrush today, Ruby.

[ You're not allowed to sleep in the same room as them if you haven't brushed your teeth in over 24 hours. ]

And yes, Blake. I mean, we're not usually able to hear anyone else's thoughts, right? If we start hearing them, let's at least be courteous and pretend we didn't.

[crimsomatic]

Ohhhhh, so that's where it is! Thanks, Blake!

[ And no, she isn't commenting on how long it might've been in there... ]

Anyway, that sounds good to me! We can just ignore any weird stuff we hear! Like how long my toothbrush has been missing...

[ Dang it!!! ]

now a real tag by popular demand

[continuer]

[ Somewhere not in this mental conference, Jaune is brushing his teeth as usual while he dances to some sick Casey Williams tracks playing from his Scroll.


Briefly, he wonders if his toothbrush had always been red. ]

[nailed_it]

[Never change, Ruby. And Jaune.

Yang's voice chimes in, this time affectionately.]

Well, with that mystery solved, what else's on the agenda for this top secret meeting, oh fearless leader?

[crimsomatic]

Oh, right! Since we're all back together again, I wanted to see if you guys wanted to hunt some monsters soon.

[ FINALLY, team RWBY can ride again!! ]

[schmisse]

I, for one, would be more than happy to accomplish a hunting task with you all.

[ ALSO SHE WANTS TO SHOW BLAKE HER SUMMONING!! ]

[faunarchism]

I'd like that a lot.

[ A chance to prove to them that she hasn't left the team behind, fallen out of practice: yes. ]

[nailed_it]

[Haha, oh good, a team mission. This is fine. She can do this.]

Yeah, you bet Ruby!!

[crimsomatic]

Great! I'll check out the task board at the beginning of the month and see what's available on there. I can't wait!

Next order of business: have any of you ever had a dream where you wake up and get ready for the day, but then really wake up and realize you still have to get ready?

[schmisse]

[ Is this really the content of their team meeting. . . ]

I don't usually remember my dreams.

[faunarchism]

Not really... My dreams are usually worse than reality. I feel relieved when I wake up. But that sounds annoying.

[nailed_it]

[Haha nobody wants to know what she dreams about.]

Mmmaybe not about getting up specifically but, I've definitely had dreams when I was super sure I was awake?

[That's...technically true.

She offers a snicker and a gentle tease.]

Is that why you slept in yesterday, Ruby? Dreaming you were already awake?

[crimsomatic]

Yes, that was exactly it!!!

And then I realized I still had to get up and get ready...ugh, it was so annoying!

...Okay, who else has an item of business?

[schmisse]

We're running out of groceries.

[faunarchism]

Oh. That's our chore, right?

[nailed_it]

Yeah, unless we wanna switch off cleaning the house with JNPR this month.

[No thanks.]

Did anybody get the shopping list from Ren yet?

[He probably knows what's needed given he does most of the cooking and meal planning.]

[crimsomatic]

I did!

[ She didn't. ]

Every item on the list was chocolate chip cookies!

I don't make the rules!

[schmisse]

That is so not the list!

[ If only she could telepathically bop Ruby on the head. . . ]

We need to buy beef, fish, and pork, some vegetables... we're also running out of chicken nuggets, for some reason. I could have sworn I just bought three boxes last week.

[ Actual Chicken Nugget Predator Jaune Arc ]

[nailed_it]

Nice try, Ruby. But I'm pretty sure Ren'll have a fit if we just bring back cookies. [Again] Besides we need to restock our toiletries too.

...And maybe get Ruby a new toothbrush.

[She just...has this feeling.]

[faunarchism]

[ This is so...normal. It's kind of weirding her out. Even at Beacon, there was always something crazy or exciting or dangerous going down. ]

Grocery lists...shopping...wow. I feel like an adult. Or something. I mean, like, a normal adult with a domestic life.

[ Instead of a monster-slaying teen soldier. ]

[schmisse]

We're already 18. [ Except for Ruby, anyway. ] We should at least start acting our age.

[ Weiss is actually going to grow old another year in a month since hc birthday! ]

But I agree. We should get Ruby a new toothbrush. And maybe a case for it so we can mark it with her name.

[crimsomatic]

Hey, some of us still aren't adults! Does that mean I don't have to grocery shop?

...Do you think they have toothbrushes that look like a scythe? Science needs to know!

[nailed_it]

[Shoot, grocery shopping = adults now? Dang, she should have used that argument when she was insisting she was an adult to her dad, she's been doing that stuff since she was a preteen...]

...I'm not sure a lot of people'd want something sharp and pointy-shaped like that near their mouth.

[You have an adorable face, Ruby, please don't ruin it.]

But I know I've seen ones with cute little animal shapes on the end? You know, like dogs, ponies, the Arehtei...stuff like that.

[faunarchism]

[ Blake, on the other hand, always felt like grocery shopping was something she'd only get to do after world peace was achieved. But here they are. ]

I saw one the other day that sparkles and sings to you when you're brushing. I can't believe that's what people use technology for.

[schmisse]

[ Google does not provide, so a scythe-shaped toothbrush likely does not exist. ]

Doesn't Nora have one of those toothbrushes that just move on their own in your mouth? Maybe you should get one of those.
