[BBS] + [ACTION] When life gives you lemons, hunt for eggs!

[redcinemareel]

[BBS]

If anyone has seen colored, plastic eggs about Garden, I would appreciate if they are returned to me. In exchange, there will be a refreshing beverage awaiting any kind soul that turns one in! I shall be in the quad.

-Grell ♥

[ACTION]

[Grell has sectioned off an area in the quad to set up a table, a two chairs (one on each side), a pitcher of lemonade and a few cups filled with it, and a wicker basket on the other side with just one plastic egg sitting inside. There is a sign on the table as well:]

Advice: 1Gil
Lemonade: 1 Colored Plastic Egg
No Refunds

[She hasn't set up a lemonade stand in a while, so she decides to give this second go-around a bit of a twist. While she's waiting, there is a thick book being read, and it seems that she's near the end of it.]

Wind at your back, sweetheart. I wonder where they could be.

[redcinemareel]

[She knows better than to do all the work when there are perfectly good hands to manipulate out there.]

I don't have to wonder. Just wait.

[thatched]

What makes you so sure that they're so conveniently hidden, ma petite dacquoise?

[redcinemareel]

It wouldn't matter if they are or aren't. The notice has been given, and most will be found.

[thatched]

Touche. Now to wonder who will find the grand prize.

[redcinemareel]

...pardon?

[She's dreading what that could be...]

[thatched]

Yes?

[redcinemareel]

What did you mean by 'grand prize'?

[mera_mera_ace]

[Stops by the table grinning and drops a few Gil in just to be nice. After all, this is partly his fault.]

Hey there, Red. Whatcha searching for eggs for?

[redcinemareel]

[She looks up to find Ace there.] I see that you're managing the BBS well. [Smiling, she marks her place in her book and closes it before offering him some lemonade.]

No other reason than they belong to me. [She's not telling anyone why she wants them! Who knows what would happen then!]

[mera_mera_ace]

[But seeing as he was one of the culprits well...he knows why she wants them back. Takes the lemonade and sips it.]

So what's my favorite sister doing other then offering advice and selling lemonade? [Never mind the fact he's supposed to be in class]

[redcinemareel]

[She isn't sure if he's in on this with Thatch or not, so best to just play it safe!]

Making sure you're to be in class. [She watches as he drinks the lemonade, resting her chin onto her palm as her elbow rests on the table.] I must be losing my edge, however.

[mera_mera_ace]

Obviously. Because I'm not in class. [Cheeky ass little grin there as he leans over and kisses her cheek]

[redcinemareel]

Charm will only get you so far. [She brushes her fingers through the front of his hair.] Why aren't you in class?

[She lifts up a finger.]

Do not say because you're here.

[mera_mera_ace]

Because class is stupid and boring and the teachers hate the fact I never wear a shirt?

[redcinemareel]

[SIGHS]

While I agree that some classes are like that, not all are. You do realize that if you do not go, they can force you to leave if you aren't up to standard, yes?

[mera_mera_ace]

[That actually causes his smile to falter a little bit.

Th...they can?

[redcinemareel]

[Nodding, Grell folds her hands atop the table.]

Your education is being sponsored. If you aren't learning, then they have little need to keep sponsoring you. So thus, it would be unlikely for you to be a cadet here if that is withdrawn.

[She doesn't want that to happen.]

It would be wise to do your best, dear Ace.

[mera_mera_ace]

But....I...[He has NO idea what the hell he's doing!]

[redcinemareel]

Hmm? What's wrong? [He looks a bit lost to her.]

[mera_mera_ace]

I...don't know how to do half the stuff they do here. [lost is a pretty good description of how he feels in class]

[redcinemareel]

You do have family that can help you. [She pauses to give him a cheeky smile of her own.] It would also help to go to class consistently.

[mera_mera_ace]

I make no promises. But I will try.

[redcinemareel]

[She nods once.] That's all I wish for.

Is there anything else on your mind? [She reaches for the pitcher, offering some lemonade to him, if he wants more.]

[mera_mera_ace]

Got a cure for nightmares that doesn't involve imposing upon Thatch every night?
