Charades in Gaming Club toniiiight. I particularly encourage anyone cast in the play to come, since it can never be too early to start onstage bonding. The better we read each other, the better we work as a pirate crew.*

*Or Lost Boys, if you absolutely must.


[Richie Roth]

Darling, I need a big, big favor from you.

[Scout Thoroughgood]

Why hello, Mr. Ranked #2 Cute Leader Butt.

Charades, for Atticus, and then studying. So I’m sure I’ll see you at charades.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

Oh, I cannot wait to see your improvisational stylings. You do have a way of surprising people...!

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

I’m not good at all, so I wouldn’t get too excited.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

Don't underestimate yourself, darling. Why, I experienced firsthand how well you communicate without words.

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

[...] I appreciate your faith in me.

That was

It’s easy to let loose a bit at parties.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

Only at parties? You're a hard-working man, you deserve to let loose more often.

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

Yeah, my schedule is pretty booked up with studying and training otherwise.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

I'm about to blow your mind: you don't need a whole party to have fun. Just a few spare minutes, maybe in between charades and studying, and someone willing to entertain...!

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

[...]

You probably have a lot better prospects that require less wrangling than me, you know.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

I enjoy a challenge. Not that you're merely a feather in my cap! The cap has already been feathered, so to speak.

But you're handsome, and I'm available. It's an open offer.

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

Not so sure I count as a challenge but [...] I'll keep it in mind?.

You might end up disappointed.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

Oh, I doubt that. You more than met expectations at the party. That's even besides the fact that I'm a man of notoriously low standards!

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

Glad I was [...] Having higher standards wouldn't be a bad idea.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

Oh no, handsome. That would ruin my image.

You're not afraid of me being a bad influence, are you?

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

Is that really I guess there's something to be said for sticking to your guns when it comes to image.

Nothing like that - I trust myself enough.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

Isn't that what you do? The Boy Scout who doesn't want to be a Boy Scout. It's a good image, and I'm just offering myself in service of that.

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

I think you're maybe giving me too much credit. I'm not going for any sort of image, I just [...] enjoy kissing unfor.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

We're all going for some sort of image. Anyone who claims they aren't is trying harder than everyone else.

But coincidentally, I also just enjoy kissing. If that's what you want, it doesn't have to be more than that.

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

Not rea [...] And you think mine's Boy Scout trying to rebel? People just think I'm a better person than I am. I guess I'm not that surprised.

I know. [...] I'll [...] think about it.

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

I wouldn't say trying to rebel so much as... not wanting to be so simple? Anyone who's actually trying to be a Boy Scout has some demons to hide.

That's all I ask, darling. Here: [Noah writes his phone number.] ♥

Noah/Scout

[star_boy]

I'm really just I It's always interesting to hear everyone's takes on me.

[...]

[Scout writes his phone number.]

Noah/Scout

[strikings]

Don't worry, darling, I promise all conversation with me will be incredibly shallow henceforth. If we're saying anything at all...!
