What jokes do you think Tally would tell to break up the tension between Abigail and Raelle? What about when Scylla is around? I just know Tally would rather they laugh than fight or silent tension.
OH! I think w/ Abigail and Raelle it’s less about jokes and more talking to fill the tense silence? The first kind of mutual agreement between Abigail and Raelle is that they both really like Tally and how she can go on for hours about her life on the matrifocal compound as well as just carry conversations with the least effort in the world. It gets them sharing stories about each other and just talking on a very simple and baby-steps level.
WITH SCYLLA AROUND, I imagine it’s a lot of glaring between her and Abigail with a classic Tally Craven nervous giggle accompanied by one of my all-time opener jokes:
“So uh, hey guys, do you know what a polar bear weighs?”
“... I don’t know, like, 800 pou--”
“ENOUGH TO BREAK THE ICE.”
Cue really awkward silence followed by a pity chuckle from Raelle.
