Grenade!!

Debit Card! i was wondering if you and lotion would like to participate in the germanic festival, May Day! i crowned Globe May Queen. im setting up the Maypole!

Woaahhh, that is literally so fabulously awsome!

And im so happy for your friend i barely know her but oh well. So whats the dress code

#wait it lowk already passed gulps…oh well whatever.

anything!! go crazy!! its a festival!!

Okay, okay.. ahem..

Just when you think vegetables don't have phones.. onion rings! Get it?

Cause.. onion rings!

- Azriel! ♡

( get this bum off the stage no wonder xen didn't laugh )

Hah, that's a good joke! I wonder why Xen didn't find it funny...

i found it funny too! its like a cellphone ringing! i get it!!

hey guys!! do you all want to celebrate May Day? its a germanic festival!! scroll and quill are not allowed to attend. or, well, they are allowed to but at their own risk. you see, i crowned globe may queen. probably not the brightest idea since shes kind of…not on the best of terms with them, but, you know…

Hello, Grenade! I-... hm. Well, I hope you have fun there!

...I haven't seen her in months. I wonder why? I mean, I'm not complaining, but still.

-📜

Sounds like it'll be fun. I'll be there!

-WFS

if wfs is going then i am too!

-Mop

That Globe girl kind of scares me... but I'll just stay away from her, maybe... I'm sure it'll be fun, where is it?

-📔

UHMMM honestly i dont know, i havent set up the Maypole yet, because…i didnt feel like it. anyway, where do you guys think it should be held?

also, notebook, i could just tell globe to not talk to you! if i find a way to say it that doesnt seem rude…

thank you for the good wishes, scroll! i think its because shes more focused on her friends now. im not complaining either, its way healthier for her. i still wouldnt show up if i were you though.

Ooh... ok... if you want to though!! It's okay if not, I'll survive! ^_^;

-📔

maybe the park? would we need to get permission from someone, though...?

-Mop

#if you seen anything on my blog the park is NOT the best place to go rn #for flesh egg reasons #< // THANK YOU FOR THE WARNING o7

no, i dont think so? why would we need permission to set up a relatively small stick and dance around it? ir have a bonfire? were not having a BIG parade or anything…besides, i dont think anyone monitors that park anyway.

its fine, NB. ill probably just tell her that youre shy or something?? if youre okay with that??

Globe!! Happy May Day!! (to clarify, not the communist holiday. im very anti-communist as everyone probably knows but i just want to clarify that im talking about the germanic/european festival that marks the beginning of summer)

I made this flower crown for you so that you could be May Queen! I’m not really good with plants and stuff, though, sorry…

GRENADE!!! HI!!!

Awwh, thank you!! I'm not good with plants either, I just try to keep the flowers in the vase by my front door alive. It's so pretty... thank you so much!!!

HIII GLOBE!!! They smile brightly as they reciprocate the cheerful greeting. It’s been a relatively long time since they’ve seen Globe, at least, they don’t see her ad much as they used to.

I really only like lavenders, specifically dried lavenders, because they repel bees. i dont like bees. theyre scary. i also like lilys of the valley…theyre also a part of the May Day tradition! you have some in the back of the crown, i tried to weave them in there but theyre dainty so i had to knot a bunch together. but, yeah, im glad you like it!

im setting up the maypole if you want to help? and i guess we could also invite people! i think Debit Card would like this. and then we could also invite Lotion!

Bees are scary... one got in the pizzeria a few days ago. Nose Ring was the only one willing to take it back outside...

Ooh, I could see if Nose Ring wants to come! They might bring their friend, Name Tag, so that could be two mkre people to the invitation list! And maybe House Plant? It'd be nice to see him again...

#grenade still has no canon age but for what i have in mind globe would be MUCH older 😭 god isnt she like 28 or 30

oh yeah, thatd be really cool! i sort of…forgot you had a job, though. but thats great!!!

i think ill try to invite house plant…ill see what i can do…

#i find it SO funny when grenade has to talk to all of them at once theyre probably thinking “hmmm who should i respond to first”#thats probably why grenade has two tags /joke

Oh! It’s a good thing I returned here because I assume this is the rat that the other is bonded with…Or at least, will be bonded with.

Grenade goes inside to get a bag, locks their door, puts the key inside of the bag and picks up the rat. It seems like an unnecessary procedure to just go to the pet store a couple of blocks away, but NewCounty is in America, so you can never be too sure. It is also very crime-ridden. They certainly wouldn’t want a “visit” from R, or their fellow explosive resident Dynamite to find that their abode had been raided and all of their belongings including pets and miniature globes have been stolen. Rats in hand, they walk to the pet store and, turning their back towards the door (because they have one rat per hand), push the door open.

( @zombieefish )

( this is being reblogged here ummmm because. TV can reside on this blog for now.. )

The place isn't busy, but it's not empty. Mainly a few children making a fuss over the hamsters, some having their hands up against the glass of the fish tanks, childish wonder filling their gazes.

There's four workers that can be seen. One is standing at the front door, and greets Grenade as they enter, before getting rushed off to go help a customer. The other two are working the registers – and then, the help desk.

TV is sitting at the help desk. Keys click mindlessly, the screen of the computer bright, but not brighter than the lights in the building – which were a fluorescent white, highlighting the tiled flooring.

.. now, the help desk would be the logical decision. But with the way more people started to flood in, it seemed difficult to even see the help desk.

Grenade reciprocated the greeting to the employee before witnessing them rush off, taking this as an opportunity to take in the environment. They have never been here before as, while they have cats, they only buy food overseas (via some online platform), and by extension cat bowls, toys, etc. This, however, causes them to realize that the childish wonder occurring adds to the charm of this place, and because the atmosphere is overall nice, they should come here more often if they could find what they need for cheap. Just not food. Germany supposedly has the best food for animals and they weren’t going to take any chances..

Grenade wasn’t here to buy anything though. They were here to present these two rats. They walk past the register and spot TV, before the view of the help desk was obscured, and it occurred to them that it would be rather difficult to reach the desk. However, because that was exactly what they were there for, and TV is the only person they know here (presumably, if not the person they know best there) they were determined to get through to that desk. They push through a crowd of objects, repeatedly begging pardon. At last, after having to pass by all of those people, they make it to the help desk. Out of breath, they promptly begin to explain the situation and set the two rats down on the desk.

T.V.! Hi! I forgot that you worked here!

I was wondering if I could…present these rats to you. Some anon gave them to me. I think..they might be bonded. I can’t take care of them. Is there anything you can do?

She looks up, and her smile widens – she didn't expect to see a familiar face this early in the day.. or, maybe it's just because she doesn't see many of them until she gets home, or stops by the library.

"Grenade, Hi!" A small wave, as she clicks with her mouse, but her attention is still on her friend, or rather in this situation, the customer with a concern. Her brow raises at the animals.

"Rats." A pause, before taking a breath in, and sighing. "I think we have a few spare cages in the back, or something.. but other than that, I'm not sure what else I could do."

She turns to her co-worker, the same one who was at the door. "Hot Chocolate, what exactly do we do with rats that have been.. brought in?"

The sound of chewing gum came to a halt. He turned to face her, their arms crossed at the statement. "We give the rescue people a call. The shelter. They're far from here, but y'know,"

TV give a thumbs up, her way of saying thank you, as she turns back to Grenade. "What she said. We'll take them for now, obviously, but it's nice that you brought them here safely!"

Grenade waves at T.V. eagerly, also excited to see a familiar face. They know most of the people around NewCounty, still volunteer at the library, et cetera, but they haven’t been as outgoing as they were when they initially moved. Besides, they haven’t seen a familiar face either. They barely know Xen, and weren’t able to see Azriel. They do know, however, that Xen and T.V. dislike each other, so it’s better to not say anything about the situation unless asked. And, despite others who beg to differ, a half-truth isn’t a lie. It is a deceptive statement for certain, but if it has no double entendre, or improper grammar, then it isn’t really deceptive in nature, is it? It’s just leaving out extraneous information.

Hey, T.V.! It’s good to see you around! It’s been a while.

They smile as the rest of the situation goes down and eventually gets resolved. They nod at T.V. in agreement, and at Hot Chocolate whom they don’t know formally, but still appreciate the element of service.

Thank you very much!! Make sure to put them in a large cage for the time being!! Thank you again, have a great day!!

They approach the door. Goodbye friends; thus this adventure ends. Adieu, adieu…I do like to be beside the seaside!

#mission complete

genuinely though..? Grenad

…What? Is there something the matter?

#mission complete

There is a knocking at their front door. I, as narrator, don’t know if there’s a doorbell, so I will have to resort to this. The visitor is none other than Grenade, holding—or trying to hold—a squirmy rat in the palms of their hands.

[ The handle on the front door begins to rattle, dare I say, shaking the door entirely – as the sound of a lock clicking rings out into the air, and the door swings open. ]

"Can we help you?"

He pauses and looks the individual up and down with a raised brow. He's got an apron on, a muddy green, while there's flour on his nose.

"Ooh, who is it, who is it?" A voice from the background, the clash of pots and pans one of the more.. prominent noises.

".. what's with the rat?"

They are completely frightened by the vigor that Xen used to open the door, but still give a wave “hello” with a free hand.

I see I probably came at the wrong time…uhm…Well, you see…An anon just gave me this rat, but I’m not equipped to take care of it. I was wondering if you knew any animal shelters? I know you’ve been in NewCounty for a shorter time than I have, but I’ve never seen any and I figured maybe there would be one near the record store at which you work.

"Animal shelters," He purses his lips, furrowing his brow in thought. Slowly, the realisation comes to him when he thinks about the place, a grimace on his face.

"Turn left when you approach the record store. You'll see a big, green building with a paw-print sign on the door."

"Xeeeeen, the blender won't turn off!" A yell, then the sound of whirring and something beeping could be heard. He groaned.

"Talk to the lady at the counter. She's got an attitude, the damn witch." The last part was murmured, as he turned to face the hallway. "I'm coming, give me a minute!"

Xen turned back. "If you can't find it, there's probably someone around who can help."

(IS HE TALKING ABOUT TV LOL???? not a animal shelter but close enough)

Very well, thank you for all your help. I think I actually know just the place you’re talking about…I’ll be able to get there on my own. Thank you very much again for the directions!!!

Debit Card, you haven’t been drinking again, have you? I mean, I’m not trying to take away your fun or anything but drinking is only okay if it’s on a small scale! I care about you, I don’t want you to become intoxicated!!

Grenade oh myyy goshhhhhh I told you I have been sober for a while besides I have to for a few shoots dont ya worry!

So, what you’re saying is that while you have been sober you aren’t anyone because they’re forcing you?! Now I’m even more concerned!

I don’t want to be the one to admit you into AA…

No! Uh shit I worded it wrong uh I mean that im doing it for my health alcohol tastes like shit anywayyy

Debit card started fidgeting with his hand abit trying not to make grenade concerned as much as possible

I have no idea what you’re saying, but because you insist you’re okay, I’ll believe you. But you could always come to me if you need help, okay?

Debit Card, you haven’t been drinking again, have you? I mean, I’m not trying to take away your fun or anything but drinking is only okay if it’s on a small scale! I care about you, I don’t want you to become intoxicated!!
