drnaa (3) - spring is in the air
[There hasn't been snow on the ground in almost a month, and the weather is getting just a bit warmer each day. Drones have been babbling that today marks the beginning of Spring, which means that all of the winter weather crap is behind them. While the almost-robotic way the weather shifts between seasons creeps Rikku out a bit, she has to admit that the change is more than welcome.
Today, she can be found outside doing one of the following things:]
A: Front lawn of 1767 Beaver Street
[Rikku is sitting cross-legged in the midst of some scrap metal and electrical parts that she's helped herself to from both her own house and various other places around town. Drones don't really need this stuff, right?
She isn't paying much attention to passers-by, instead concentrating on her tinkering. Currently, she's taking things apart and trying to put them back together. That way, she knows how they work when she inevitably uses them to build something larger.]
B: Mayfield High School
[Class is for suckers, and more often than not it bores Rikku to tears. As such, she's brazenly cutting class and sitting on the football bleachers with the food she's packed for lunch. She even waves to people as they walk by and offers to share her lunch.]
C: John Doe Park
[Rikku is barefoot and her pants are rolled up past her knees. There's water all over the place as she flails, and she's screaming/whining about the temperature. Stepping into cold water elicits a certain reaction when you're not really expecting it.
She's just learned the hard way that it's still a bit too early in the season for wading in the pond.]

BEST INFLUENCES
[Snow heads up the bleachers, plopping down next to Rikku on the bench as if it were his personal lounge.]
So what's for lunch?
AWWW YEAH
[She turns the way-too-large lunch bag in his direction so he can help himself.]
It's too nice outside to be trapped in a classroom with all those drone kids.

[Snow usually has a pretty massive appetite, but he doesn't wanna take too much of Rikku's food. It's her lunch. So for now he'll just grab a bag of chips and pop it open.]
Thanks, kiddo.
no subject
School isn't that.
[She reaches in, snags an orange, and starts unpeeling it.]
You're welcome. Having company is nice.
no subject
That's actually why I'm here. Hope 'n I have been workin' on something for the past few weeks.
[A teasing smirk.]
Buuuuut you wouldn't be interested in any of that.
no subject
[She whacks him on the arm. For a girl as petite as she is, she hits pretty darn hard.]
I'm interested! Tell me!
no subject
[Yeah, she hits pretty hard. Snow laughs, rubbing the spot where she's just smacked him.]
Okay, okay! I'll tell you. Back home, some friends and I put together a group I like to call NORA. We took it upon ourselves to keep an eye out for any trouble in our neighborhood. And if we ever found any, we'd send 'em packing.
Now, I might be the only one of the original founders in town right now, but I'm thinkin' NORA could use a Mayfield branch as well. Y'know?
no subject
That's a great idea! There's no shortage of trouble here in Mayfield, so there will be plenty for us to do.
[She pumps her fists excitedly.]
Count me in. I'm not going down easily. They'll wish they'd never messed with us!
no subject
Hope's been workin' on some posters to put up all over school and I'm... Heh. Well, I'm just about finished settin' up our venue. Once we're all set up, then we're gonna start lookin' for some more members. We'll need a pretty big team before we can really get things started. But for now?
[He offers her a hand to shake.]
Welcome aboard.
no subject
Thanks! I'm glad to be on the team!
Anything else you need help setting up with? I can see what supplies I can find, since we're probably going to need them. Stuff to fight with, maybe some first aid stuff...?

[Good thing you've enlisted a thief.]
no subject
Steal from the drones and give to the... undroned?Snow offers the girl a big grin.]
'Course I can count on you. You're a team player, Rikku. And with a team like ours? These Mayfield punks won't even know what hit 'em. Guaranteed.
no subject
They're like Robin Hood! Kind of. Ish.]Yeah! They'll wish they'd never kidnapped us in the first place!
