WHO: August and everyone else
WHERE: Network mostly
WHEN: mid-Feb
WHAT: Two important things
WARNINGS: I mean. August swears a lot so like.

[Hello hello Kaisou, it is your friendly neighborhood bird-and-tarot guy, clearly just finishing up one of his professional readings if the fancy cloth on the table and the candles that are still smoking are any indication. It's also clear from the angle of the phone that Julian is the one who decided to get it started, since it is crooked (and also you can see a clawed foot on the edge there). There's a caw and then August just sighs, not even looking over as he finishes cleaning up.]

I said "get the phone", not "turn the camera on", Julian. Why are you like this...anyway! Everyone's just gonna have to deal with the weird angle for a bit, but there are two things I think the app at large should know about.

[He holds up one finger.]

First, if you remember earlier this month I was frustrated over everyone getting the same damn card in their readings? Yeah, happening again, but with a different card. Wheel of Fortune, upright, usually means good luck so fuck man, here's hoping. Dunno if it'll actually mean anything but let's be real, for that card I don't care.

[He holds up a second finger, and this is clearly the more important thing as he actually pauses to take the phone from Julian and hold it properly.]

Second, I have just been informed by one of my local regulars that it is Girl Scout cookie season. Her kid is selling, so if you want some keep an eye out around the stores or I can drop you the link to their online sales. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you will soon.

GIRL SCOUT COOKIES?! [Pasqualo gasps, and also says,] Gasp! [out loud.] It is my solemn duty to support the troops, so...

Wait. [She deflates.] I... have no money. Darnit.

[drewthetower]

They're like five bucks a box, I can get you a box and you just pay me back?

[localizedentirelyinanau]

AYE-AYE, SIR! [She looks downright gleeful as she snaps a salute.] Maybe I could do you a favor or something while I look into getting a part-time job?

[drewthetower]

[Hmm.]

How strong are you?

Girl Scout cookies? [Her interest is piqued. Mira likes cookies.]

Also, I hope we do have good luck. The head thing is more than a little alarming...

[drewthetower]

The head thing is concerning. I seriously hope that was just symbolic or some shit.

[Anyway.]

Yeah, so, in the States we have like...organizations called Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, they're sorta supposed to help kids learn some skills they won't in school and might not at home, go camping with friends, stuff like that. I dunno if the Boy Scouts do anything, but the Girl Scouts, every year, sell boxes of cookies. Usually only a few varieties, but ooh are they good.

[nonmagical]

I hope it's symbolic too. Symbolic of what, I can't even begin to guess.

[Let's focus on cookies though.]

Oh! That sounds really nice. I'd gladly help out, especially since it sounds those cookies are pretty good!

[drewthetower]

They're so good. Does anyone at your place have a job yet? The cookies aren't super expensive, but like. It can add up.

[areyuuserious]

... Girl Scout cookies?

[drewthetower]

Yes. Have you never had 'em?

[areyuuserious]

[They shake their head.]

I think I vaguely remember them being mentioned in a movie I watched with my aunt once, but I've never had them.

[drewthetower]

Congratulations, you can try them now! Be warned they are at times very addicting, one of my aunts has a Thin Mint problem.

[phobophage]

Ah, yeah, Girl Scout cookie season. My child is a Girl Scout so they're now doing their best to sell those. I've been accompanying them for that. Was a Girl Scout myself back in the days. Oh, right, they have a thing where you can buy cookies digitally if you want. Here's my kid's link. [Insert link.]

[drewthetower]

Oh, nice. If I hadn't promised to buy from my regular, I'd totally buy from your kid. [A beat.] My aunts are totally going to buy from your kid when I send them the link.

[phobophage]

Thanks for that! Yeah, can't be helped if you already have someone you buy from. Really, my kid's doing a perfectly good job themselves selling the cookies, they've got that much charm. But every little bit extra won't hurt.

[drewthetower]

And who can say no to cookies? No one.

[wedonttalkabout]

[Oh that's...concerning though.]

So...things are looking up? But also...there's a chance for decapitation? Those- August, those things don't normally- [he links his fingers together nervously] y'know, go together?

I really don't know what's up with this place anymore.

[drewthetower]

[There's a beat as August looks at Julian, who looks back.]

It could be symbolic?

[wedonttalkabout]

The head or the good fortune?

Maybe it means you'll get good luck if you save me a box of Samoas.

[drewthetower]

"Save" he says, as if I'm not just buying him the damn cookies...

[whiteshroud]

Huh? Are you offering to buy them for me?

Why thank you August! That's so generous!

[neverbreaks]

So something good can happen this month? That's a relief. [ Instead of...what could possibly happen in Bruno's vision.

She should probably just leave it at that, because that's the important thing, right? That things could turn out fine. But...she's still a bit curious. ]

...what kind of cookies?

[drewthetower]

Seriously.

[THEY NEED A BREAK]

They usually have some kind of chocolate cookie and a peanut butter sandwich cookie, but otherwise it's "who knows, they've got new flavors to try again".

[neverbreaks]

[ They can only hope that they'll get a chance to take it easy. ]

Oh. Some chocolate ones do sound pretty good, though. Is uh...there a way to find out what other kinds they have?

[ She...might not mind getting a couple. ]
