[ wow okay this is the best job ever???? elise is pretty sure???? she gets to HANG OUT with someone (new friend or old, does it even matter?) and there's SNACKS and BEDS and it's basically a slumber party, right? she's pretty sure it qualifies. the princess is bouncing on "her" bed a little, gleeful. ]

Ooooh my gosh, okay! I've got this! What if we did a team bonding game thingy? I think that could be fun! We could make up a whoooooole new version of tag. Like, a special underwater tag! It could be training for the people who are like "no way, I don't have time to play!" and playing for the people who don't like training, we can trick both groups and have a great time while we're at it! And people can get to know one another a lot better! Wouldn't that be great???

[ elise is all about volunteering, so of course she ends up on an overnight camping mission eventually. it's not like she hasn't camped before, even if she's fond of being at the base where it's like an all the time slumber party without private rooms. it's not quite night yet, though, and she's...

trying to teach a horde of birdogs to play fetch. okay, elise. ]

No, no, see, whoever brings back the stick gets a treat! Okay, wanna give it another try?!

[ elise, they can't understand you. ]

[ so maybe you're actually trying to harvest things! elise has done some of that, if the baskets by the base of the orange tree she's by are anything to go by, but. she points dramatically your way. ]

Hey!! I challenge you to a tree-climbing race!

[ play with her a little! everyone could use a break, right? ]
