__________________________________________________ ________________
Let's see what the team has been up to this week!
Sodapoppin woke up with a scream. He was shivering despite the sweat that was dripping from his forehead. He looked out the window beside him, it was still dark. He’d managed to fall asleep at his desk..again.
More troubling than his lack of sleep were the dreams that haunted him if he managed to sleep. They always started the same way. Soda sighed as he remembered the misleading beginning to his nightmare.
It was a sunny afternoon and the team was planning a picnic. Neko had forced the trainees to help her pack lunch---Yowie, Skylar and CandleLite apparently had amazing culinary skills. Firey and Frogster...not so much. After setting off the smoke detector a few times Bottles issued an executive ban from the kitchen to both trainees who then went to find out what Centauri and Dimples were up to in the living room.
"Give it back,” Dimples whined.
"I’m doing you a favor,” Centauri taunted as he held a book just barely out of the female GM’s reach, "It’s too pretty of a day to be spent reading.”
Aria had just walked in through the front door, visibly irritated from her lack of sleep as she snatched the book away from the TGM "I beg to differ, it’s a wonderful day for reading.”
"Thank you Aria,” Dimples said with a naive smile.
Aria’s face contorted into an evil grimace as she spoke, "I was actually going to have Neon or Kira do this for me, but you guys will do just fine.”
Firey and Frogster started to back away, "Is it too late to go find Naomi and help her plan events?”
"Much too late,” Aria smiled before announcing the task she had for them, "Go read all of the fiesta film scripts, take notes on which ones had more exciting plots.”
Unfortunately, Naomi had just come down the stairs in time to hear that last part, "Ariaaaaaaaaaa leave my slaves trainees alone.”
"Naomiiiiiiiiii, I need to sleep---these eye bags are so not working for me,” Aria pouted and pointed to her eyes.
"Soda thinks the eyebags are working for him,” Naomi said with a sly smile as she continued, "I know why you’re losing sleep Aria, you were like this at last year’s anniversary too...I wonder what’s keeping Soda up though.”
The team decided they would ask him about it at the picnic and focused on getting ready for their fun day in the sun. Bottles announced that he could not join them because he needed to finish up something he was working on. Before disappearing back into his office he gave Soda the slightest of nods which only made Naomi even more curious.
Upon arriving at the greenest corner in the Forest of Tides, Kuroneko spread out a table cloth and began to empty out the basket she had spent the morning preparing.
Soda had dutifully taken his place with the rest of his team but he was visibly distracted. He hadn’t noticed Kira talking to him, "Yo Soda, What’s with you?”
"Sodaaaaaa,” Naomi called his name in a singsongy voice, waving her hand infront of him.
Soon all the GMs and MODs were calling his name and throwing their hands in front of him until Soda couldn’t take it anymore and he would wake up in a panic.
Soda was startled from his thoughts by a soft knock on the door of his office, "Come in.” He called out and waited to see who appeared.
It was Naomi followed by Aria.
"This is an intervention,” Aria started.
"Yes, you need to stop working so much and sleep sometime,” Naomi finished.
Soda felt bad, he was worrying the team that cared enough about him to stage interventions at 3 AM when surely they had better things to be doing (like sleeping). He decided right then and there that he would stop stressing about keeping secrets so he shared the one he had been hiding for weeks, "It’s here...The first part of the class rebalance. It’s here.”
We'll see you in-game,
