Who: Everyone
Where: Just outside the hotel
When: Day 30, early morning

[There're a table and some chairs set up outside of the front entrance. Hurricane and Nemesis are seated there like those kids looking for passers-by to sign their petitions or sponsor animals. A modest sign in front says "Free Cheer"]

Buttpats! Get'cher buttpats here!

Pep talks, dude, don't give people the wrong idea.

It's not for us to say what motivates people. I mean, in this case it kind of literally is, but whatever.

Anyway, stop on by and gimme a couple of words. Whatever you pick, I’ll do the whole motivational speech thing about it.

And I swear to help out, or if there's something else you need, I guess. Either way, points.

[THINKING IS DIFFICULT THOUGH]

Ummmmmmmmmmmm . . .

How to beee . . . a good big sister?

[unbr8kable]

You worried about that? What, the kids been giving you trouble? --Intensity been giving you trouble?

[nohalation]

Oh no, Intensity has been very, very nice- I mean, uh, Intensity has been Intensity! And I like all of the new brothers and sisters!

But I want them to make a lot of friends! And not feel lonely!

[unbr8kable]

Okay. Why do you want them to have friends?

[nohalation]

Ummm, because friends are fun! And ummmmm . . . it's not a good feeling to be lonely, I think.

[unbr8kable]

That already sounds like what a good big sis should be doing, right? Thinking of how to make life a little easier for your baby sibs.

So I'm here to say, screw that, make sure you give 'em a hard time. That's your sisterly duty.

[nohalation]

...a hard time?

[unbr8kable]

Yeah. If you can't get teased by your family, who can you get teased by?

[nohalation]

I never thought about teasing too much really . . .

[unbr8kable]

Why not?

[from her tone this could be both a question and a suggestion]

[nohalation]

I'm not very good at it? Or I guess I just never tried.

[unbr8kable]

Practice makes perfect. Or at least you can see if you like it or not. Find somebody who's got a sense of humor and try it!

[nohalation]

Someone with a sense of humor . . .

[unbr8kable]

Look at your friends, look at your team. There's gotta be somebody you've heard laugh at least once.

[nohalation]

Intensity.

[unbr8kable]

[beatific smile]

...I can't imagine anyone better.

[nohalation]

Really . . . ?

[unbr8kable]

Of course! If there's anybody who knows how to laugh, it's him.

[nohalation]

Oh yes, I guess I could ask him . .

[unbr8kable]

I think you should just do it. Family should feel familiar with each other.

[nohalation]

I think that would be nice . . . I wonder if I am familiar enough with everyone yet. I know a lot of them are new still, but.

[unbr8kable]

See who feels familiar to you! You probably feel familiar to them at least, so there's a place to start.

[nohalation]

I guess so . . .

[unbr8kable]

You should have more confidence. If you're doing something wrong, people'll tell you. Which means if no one's saying anything, you're probably doing everything right!

[nohalation]

Hmm . . . what do you do in the case you did something wrong?
