So. Anyone else get "pranked" by a history buff friend of theirs? That's how one of my guardians described it when I showed him.

I mean, there's only ever supposed to be one of those floating about, right? How is it that we all got one?

Also, I was kind of trying to be cagey about this whole thing.

[bearshermark]

Oh. Sorry.

[Yep. Wtg Elliott. Subtle and good at the whole down-low thing. Excuse him while he feels like an idiot]

It's pretty confusing, isn't it?

[hardtoignore]

It's whatever.

I don't really know what kind of scavenger hunt this is going to be, but I'm low key already bummed about it.

[bearshermark]

I'd kind of rather not, if I'm honest. I wonder if whoever sent them is just trying to stir up trouble.

[hardtoignore]

Oh, that's absolutely what they want. Did you see the little message on the back? "Poking a beast" is hardly ever used when someone is being coy.

[bearshermark]

Yeah, that's what I figured. I don't know; if something comes up about it, I'll keep it in mind, but I don't think I'm going to do anything about it now.

[hardtoignore]

That's fair. I'm kinda gonna be... looking to actually start working over the summer. Maybe even just doing volunteer work at animal shelters if I can't get anything paid. Kris thinks it's a good idea.

[bearshermark]

I'm sure you could find a paid position if you wanted. There's lots of openings around. I think I'm gonna see about getting a job, too.

[hardtoignore]

We'll see. I really want to help foster kittens, but that's not generally a job you get paid to do, and it costs a lot of money. Less if you're not handling immediate newborns, but I dunno, that would be so much fun!

[Sure, you gotta wake up ever two hours to feed them, but they're such cute little jellybeans!!]

[bearshermark]

Well hey, if that's what you want to do. I'm sure you'd be great.

[hardtoignore]

Jeez, I just really, really like cats.

[bearshermark]

Nothing wrong with that.

[hardtoignore]

I should hope not!

Cheddar is either going to love the kittens, or he's going to be super jealous of me.

[bearshermark]

I'm betting he gets jealous of your attention.

[hardtoignore]

Yeah. He's basically just a big, chubby baby.

Well, if I ever do get to take care of kittens I'll just have to shower him with extra love and affection.
