listen. listen.
our building has a huge problem with crickets. they’re everywhere. it’s an infestation. you cannot walk but five feet without seeing a carcass or hearing their sweet chirping in an otherwise silent and dark hallways. yes they are terrifying. yes they are also harmless. but they are everywhere.
usually people just stomp on them and go about their merry way. “ew icky cricket stop making cricket noise inside your legs are creepy yada yada yada” buffoonery. occasionally some dumbass child will play the “look how gross!” and see what mess they can make. most adults just ignore them.
now we have a pretty commanding admin team (we have to, with our particular breed of student). they’re thick-skinned, tough, won’t-ever-take-the-easy-way-out kind of people, especially our hs side. they’re the Authority. the kind that, you’d think, would stomp on the cricket because that’s 0.02 seconds and the easiest way to solve the chirping problem.
i just witnessed one of the highest of our admin team get down on his knees, gently trap a cricket between two pieces of paper towels, and then walk to the other side of the building in order to let the cricket go free in the lavender bushes.
ik it’s not a huge deal but like. end of quarter means everyone is stressed and flipping out over grades, summatives, communicating with failing students, etc, especially admin, who are now navigating college admissions AND all the animosity failing students parents bring every day. it would’ve been so easy to just. step on the cricket and move on. but he took the time to relocate the cricket somewhere safe.

Prompt 271
“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone.
“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion.
Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files.
“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued.
“Is he coming to the Manor or…”
Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”
Now wait one moment-
“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.
