Funny Faced Friends

This whole gig of being a student at Starlight Academy has been pretty great for Patty so far! No more Splendens, no more unruly crocodiles, no more angry mobs... just her and bazillion other strange people all here to learn for the sake the learning! While the thought of meeting new people was a novel idea, for the most part Patty was keeping mostly to herself since... errr... she lacked people skills. While most people where nice to her, many of kept their distance from here for reasons not entirely known to her? Maybe it was her appearance? Her smell? Or maybe the way she talked? While Patty was used to being alone, gleaming insight into her trinkets, part of her still wanted to find some to show off all of the wonderful things she is learning. And today that person was to be Centi Centipede!

Ever since her arrival, the two of them shared a few classes together and she can't help but be drawn by how... exotic they looked! Like sea snake but with shells and spindly crab legs! That and they didn't seem at all fazed by her, at least in the idle conversations they had together in class. She also learned that Centi was a part of the Starlight Helpers, an organization that she was curious about since they sounded... helpful. So after call, today was the day she decided try talking Centi. Who knows, maybe she can make a friend without making things weird?

"Hey Centi! Can I ask you a question?" piped up Patty, throwing her backpack on her back as she stumbles after Centi out the door. "... actually can ask you more like... three of 17 questions?"

"Ah good! Alright, well lets start off with three. Okey so... first question; how do you move with all of those legs without getting them all in tangles? Its dizzying to watch you move sometimes. Second question; What is like being part of the Starlight Helpers? They sound helpful. Third question: What is the purpose of this diggery doo?" pulls out a tube of of red lipstick, uncapping it to show the device in action "I tried eating but... it doesn't taste all that good so I don't think its something your suppose to eat." explained Patty, looking to Centi expectantly.

Patty hoped that she didn't cause some faux pas when asking her questions, Patty's as bit of trouble when it comes knowing what is appropriate to talk about and what isn't.

((Sorry for making you wait for over a week. Last week was a... weird week for me and I lost my inspiration for a bit. But it seems to have come back now.))

"Ohhh!" piped up Patty, holding up the lipstick stick and inspects it, finding Centi's explanation reasonable. She plays with tube screw mechanism for bit, watching the half eaten lipstick rise and fall before remember where she was. "Oh! Naw yeah... ya can have this one. I have 17 back in my place so... this one won't be missed."

Pinching the tube it in between her her long, crimson nails, she holds out the lipstick for Centi to take.

"And those helpers people... they sound nice... ya think maybe join up too? Be nice to join a group that won't judge me for being fug- oh wait I just asked ya another question, can you handle another question Centi? Cause you seem like ya about to to hit the bush and- AND I DID IT AGAIN! Woops! Don't mean to ask so many questions."

((Well lets us one that our inspiration will stick through for the time being ^_^; ))

"Ohhh! I like that word. Unconventionally attractive. Cause there are a lot of beautiful things if ya look them with different perspective and frame them just..." Patty then holds up her hands, making a rectangle with her fingers and moves so that Centi's face is now centered like a photograph "... right!"

Patty then tilts her head, blaring her needle-like teeth into grinning smile to Centi. Centi seemed so strange at first appearances but that is honestly the part that Patty finds herself so drawn to.
That and Centi seems to be way more insightful than she lets on... Patty can only ponder on what else she can learn from Centi if she could ask her a few bazillion more things... assuming she didn't put her to sleep that is. Things like... how does a fire work and why does it burn?

"Its all about how ya looking at things yeah? Well I will be sure to join up to be keeping ya company. Though... I know I am really going over my question limit here but... how is that I join up? Do I have some fancy papers that need scribbling on or do I just... show up? Seen the flyers around but never quiet sure of the whole... joining up business."

"Oh! Your big sister? Is she..." Patty looks along the length of Centi, before looking back to her face and asks "... bigger than ya? Ya seem pretty large as is."

Patty blinks, imagining a version of Centi that was almost twice as large leading the Starlight helpers. She ponders for a moment how someone so big could get around easily before she snaps back into reality as she realizes that Centi was still speaking. Oops!

"Ohhh! Phone... yeah I has one those... I can give ya my numbers. Should I write it down somewhere for ya?" spoke up Patty, not really sure why it was she was giving her number to Centi but she assumed that it would help out with joining the club stuff.
