MAY DAY MISHAP

HOW THIS WORKS

• The scene is already a little disappointing, highlighted by the maypole which has fallen over. It's still lying on top of one of the abandoned cars.


• Neal announces that the May Queen is... Rose Chapman? Even he looks a little surprised by this. How did that happen?


• Before the festivities can even really begin, Tal Mitchell jumps on a pile of old railroad ties, causing the top one to fall over. It becomes immediately clear that they were housing a nest of wasps.


• The wasps go on the offensive, and all the students have to flee the field to avoid getting stung.


• Marzio Sarno got the most stings by far, Martin Geary somehow got a wasp down their pants, and Shiloh Sadler got a sting on the tip of their nose. It looks like Iason's going to be busy for a few hours treating everyone.

» the field: There are wildflowers everywhere, and even a couple cases of cheap beer hidden in the cars. Some speakers play whatever top 40 music is hot with teens these days.

» WASPS: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

» Aftermath: No one likes wasps.

HUMAN WASP

[heliocentrist]

Neal gazes glassy-eyed at his ruined party with a hollow smile on his face. He has a sting on his left hand that he's ignoring. There's nothing he can do now, after all. He can't protect freshmen from angry wasps, and the chaos is dying down a little. "I should have planned better," he considers. But he won't be defeated! No! Not even by wasps! "Next year will be better!"

HUMAN WASP

"Well, yeah," Rose concedes with a half shrug, taking a sip of her drink. "'Cause next year, none of us is gonna get up in some wasps' shit. No offence to your girl—" She means Tal, of course. "— but like, it's our own fuckin' fault. So. Whatever."

This is, honestly, rare optimism from Rose. It even approaches common sense — even if it is unnecessarily protective of a terrible, stinging insect that had just terrorised the student body for the better part of 20 mins.

She holds out her can to Neal in good faith offering. "You want a sip?"
