[It's time to fill this inbox with garbage!

Should Taako deliver them, Lup will receive +2 shiny beach pebbles. Why? Because "they're the color of her eyes."]

it takes her a while but eventually Lup finds a big seashell and glues the pebbles on it to wear as a necklace ~~suck it Taako~~

IT'S ON

TWIN WAR

new fav aesthetic-island trash

ren approves

[Does Lup regret letting this gremlin into her life yet?? Because Ren has another gift for her.

This time in the form of a flower crown, with a similar color palette to the one she gave Taako, accompanied with small bits of tape that hold it together. Any exposed stems have been colored with her new chalk, making it kind of ridiculous looking, but at least it's colorful!]

[Lup all kinds of wears this crown at a jaunty angle when she's minding the store, putting it away safely in their tent when she's out gathering resources where she might lose it.]

[I'll take 'I'm getting tired of this child spamming my inbox for $500, Alex'. Well, this is what happens when you let raccoons stay in your tent. Don't judge.

Lup gets a special crown, specified for Barry should he arrive, made out of blackberry stems with some of the berries still attached because 'it's their name too'. There's a bunch of tape holding the short stems together, and it's really more of a weird, branch circle than a crown, but she Did Her Best.]

[and Lup does Her Best not to tear up at this gift, THANKS]

Aunt Lup!

[She can probably hear her from the tent but whatever. Ignore that. She's a happy beepo.]

Do you know where I am?

[omg never stop being adorable]

Iiiis it a secret?

Yes, because you can hear my voice, but you can't see me. This is a secret hiding place.

[How bout never stop being horrible.]

I mean, I guess you got me there, pumpkin! [Lup snickers, setting down whatever boring ass work to get comfy against a tree trunk for the fun new game of Phone Hide n Seek]

Hmmm. Is it somewhere real far up?

[Ren could be a dastardly fiend and say she's incredibly high up in a tree, but that would ruin the spirit of the game and she's no liar. Instead, buries herself under one of the blankets, in case Lup get suspicious of her hiding spot from her vague description.]

No, it's very low. It's by the ground.

[Listen, if she wasn't already sitting literally almost right next to the tent, those blankets shuffling inside sure would've been a helpful clue. Even Hot Boi is giving the tent a pointed look of birdy suspicion now.]

Ooh, are you burrowing like-- [Lup gasps, scandalized] Did your uncle turn you into a mouse??

No, I'm still a human-see?

[She presses her hand against the tent fabric, wiggling her fingers against it, effectively giving away her general hiding area. This is only to ease her aunt's elf worries. No way Lup'll find her under the Secret Blanket.

Though somewhere in the darkest timeline, he threatened to turn her into the first aquaphobic frog. That's fine.]

I'm big.

[Ren please, you're killing your only aunt here. Lup just barely manages to squeeze out a fascinated mmm-mm sound between her teeth instead of bursting into laughter.]

Okay good, cuz that would-- I mean, that wouldn't be playing fair, right? Remember, hustling's only fun when you're doing it to other people. [Except for how if Ren ever managed to straightforwardly cheat in her face, Lup would be so proud.]

Edited 2018-03-31 21:53 (UTC)

[Other people meaning she can't turn into a mouse in the presence of her psuedo family while playing hide and seek. Good to know that's a technique that needs to put on the backburner.

She drops her hand back down, folding herself into the blanket so she can be fully consumed by its warm goodness, and clutches the iStone.]

I won't hustle you. I'll play that game with other people.

[There's visible shift in the tent as she blanket worms her way to the other side, so Lup won't be suspicious. What was that hand?? Nothing?? The tent was blowing in the wind, that's all. She's not in here.]

Can you still hear me? I'm hiding somewhere else now.

[Hell yeah, absolutely play a fun game of Steal Their Shoes with other people, sweetheart. God this kid rules.

And also really sucks at stealth rolls. What the heck is she doing in there? Lup grins and tsks like that's one hell of a strategy.]

You being clever now, huh? I guess I'm gonna have to up my game, here.

[She gets to her feet and calls Hot Boi down from his perch on a branch to her arm. He's still looking like a punk-ass teenager but he's got enough feathers by now to do a decent glide, and together they begin prowling around the campsite.]

Hot Boi's on my team now, what d'you think his chances are?

[Well-

Heck.

The unexpected addition to her opponent's team makes the rock go silent. She's pretty sure birds are good at finding people. Ghost birds managed to find her. It's a trait shared among all avian wildlife probably.

Either way, his chances are pretty high, given the silence, and while she doesn't offer an exact percentage for his success rate, she does quietly offer some helpful advice.]

You should walk far away from the tent and try there. His chances are better that way.

[L E A V E]

Surprise, binch. Whilst Chara intends to be Well And Truly Away most of the day, it's only partially due to the copious amount of drug usage Enso is about to see.

The other reason comes in a large, colorful box located in the tent, a ripped out piece of paper simply stating For Lup and Taako in neat cursive. Because you don't get one twin presents you just get them both shit you know they'll love????

Which is why, upon opening said box, these underserving elf shits will find:

Two t-shirts. The pink one is for Taako, obvs.

More t-shirts because Chara fuckin' said so.

So many hair doobies. Go wild. Style to your greatest imaginations. There's definitely like, a dozen odd things to Stick In Their Hair because you do you, narcissistic boogaloo.

Some nice brushes SHARE LIKE GOOD CHILDREN.

Anyway so yeah hap birth it's not like they like you or anything whatever.

There is no real routine to island life unless you create it yourself. The months Shepard has spent here have given her more free time than she has had in literal years. She's still not sure how she feels about it, but judging how she wakes herself up at the crack of dawn to patrol the island practically every day probably says more than anything she could come up with. This self-inflicted patrol has its benefits though- she gets to watch the sunrise over the beach, gets to watch the birds awaken from their nests in the trees, gets to see how the fruits are growing in various orchards, observe a rather large object trying unsuccessfully to grab coconuts out of a palm-

Wait.

She turns back around and watches carefully, noting the shaking of palm fronds in the air as something moves within its branches. It doesn't take her long to realize it's a person, and it's only a fraction of a second longer for her to realize it's Lup. She must have wandered farther into Enso than she thought. She walks up to the base of the tree and looks up.

"Lup. You need any help up there?"

Lup's Stone of Farspeech crackles to life as a voice comes in. Do these things crackle? They do now. And hey, your old buddy Merle is at the other end.

"Lup! Something just-- Something amazing is on that island! I think Pan's trying to reach me!"

It's probably like at the ass crack of dawn or something. Stop meditating or whatever, this is more important.

Meanwhile, Merle is running at top speed back towards Camp BASE from wherever he was when this revelation of plant owls came to light.

[Turns out silence really does speak volumes, and right now what it's saying is Gotcha. Lup can barely contain her glee, eager to see how Ren's gonna urchin her way out of that one. They're gonna make a resourceful survival elf out of her yet.]

[But nothing could have prepared her for Ren-- straight up lying through the Stone. Holy shit. Get it, girl, chase that hide n seek win. Lup is so proud and does the only appropriate thing when your kid's tryina play you - positive reinforcement.]

Got it! Thanks for the tip! [So saying, she wanders away from the tent and then shouts back, unnecessarily, since they're still on the fucking Stone.]

How's this? We getting hotter or what?

So, funny thing about trees - getting up them one-armed isn't even that hard, if you've got the core strength and thunder thighs to push yourself up. It's the uh, getting around in the tree, and also possibly the getting down, that pose a bit more of a challenge? Turns out?

But this is fine. Lup likes being useful some fucking way, even if it's just by picking coconuts as soon as the rain let up for a bit, not so far from camp that Taako would be tempted to put a fantasy GPS on her injured ass, but far enough that she can get into some shit. She likes being up high, this is great. Let her live, Shepard.

"I'm uh. I'm good!" She doesn't, perhaps, sound super good. Her good arm is getting tired and her stitches are itching. Don't worry about it, though.
