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.

[nailed_it]

Get both! [Yang no.] There's gotta be one that brushes your teeth for you and plays music.

[Poor-Kay-No-Los-Doughs?]

[crimsomatic]

Yeah, why not both? [ Thanks, Yang!!! ] That way if I lose one [ again ] I'll already have a backup ready!
