double your live, double your fun

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.

...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?

[unbr8kable]

Depends. Maybe the other person wanted you to do the wrong thing, and they should change their mind. Maybe you don't care about that person, so fuck 'em. Maybe you can just ask 'em how to make it right. No one's gonna think you're intentionally trying to screw someone, y'know?

[nohalation]

I hope so . . .

[unbr8kable]

Angel, have you ever not said what you meant?

[nohalation]

[pauses]

[has to think about this]

[ . . . ]

Sometimes I don't know how I want to say something, but I try to tell the truth as much as I can.

[unbr8kable]

Lots of us don't always know how to say something good. But if I can think you tell the truth, anyone can. If you had a misunderstanding with somebody, that's okay. Just go up to 'em and state your case, and then you can work together to fix it. If you want it fixed, anyway.
