How does it feel to return to such drab and classless environs after you've all debuted?

[Warded to Junior Ribbonfin Boys]

In light of our new addition and our old prefect, I think it's time we get serious about having at least a passing understanding of ASL. We shouldn't put all the burden of communication on Milo.

Let's work on getting the basics down in the evenings after curfew, before we all go to bed. Those of us who can should make an effort to use ASL whenever possible in the cabin.

oh. yeah!! i guess we should. i don't really know any.

[...] does it have to be at night, though??

Not necessarily. It just seemed convenient to do right before bed. No juggling schedules. I'm not married to it, though.

yeah.

i just [...] work better at night. you know??

~~I don't have a lot of time~~ [...] We can all talk about finding something earlier, but I promise it'll be brief. I think we'll make the most progress if we do a little every day.

ok calvin. it's important, right?? so we’ll figure it out.

Of course we will. I doubt there are many problems we can't figure out between the five of us.

[...] Thanks Calvin. ~~Nobody has ever~~ This is a really nice idea. I hate making things difficult, though, but I’m happy to help if anyone wants to learn.

But [...] it really does mean a lot. Honestly.

[...] You're welcome, and you haven't made anything difficult. We're going to be living together for the next two years and this is a logical step.

Pretty sure they determined I was not ready yet and wanted to send me back to incubate a little longer.

Unfortunate. You'll have to go again next year once you're ripe.

Think I'd prefer to rot on the vine.

Don't you have a boyfriend to pick you?

Yes, but how else are we going to get someone filthy rich to enable our wacky schemes?

Confidence tricks.

Always knew it'd come down to violin scams.

Drop me a line after you steal your first fortune so I can congratulate you.

We'll buy you something real nice. As thanks for the inspiration.

I'm sorry to say I won't be speaking to any of you anymore.

Did you find yourself a satisfactory prospective husband? Or will you have to settle for Ramon?

I did. He's very rich, but he's 87, and I fear he may die before I graduate.

Tell him to hold on for three more years and preferably not much longer.

Keep your fingers crossed for me, won't you?

Only if you invite me to the wedding. Maybe an old widow in attendance will think I'm adorable.

Of course. I'm sure he has plenty of widowed friends.

I didn't realize I counted as settling.

I'd have to wait much longer for you to die.

Fair, and murdering me requires a lot of work. I retract my offense.

On the other hand... I do like a challenge.

Well, I definitely wouldn't go down easy.

You're a big fish in a small pond. She's seen the world now.

If someone would follow me around with snacks here, the transition would be much smoother

Recruit one of the peasantry.

And everyone’s a peasant now.

So who would make the best servant?

Good idea. Happy to help any too as I'm passable at it, but I could definitely be better. We can put all our schedules together and sort it out.

We'll confer tonight. Hopefully by senior year we can all have silent conversations with one another.

Ideally - I'm sure the whole cabin can be semi-functional in not too much time if we practice enough.

Sorry that I suck; I look forward to sucking measurably less in the near future.
