MOTHER
Just In Time For Summer
Mother was a bit blindsided by the suddenness of this, it had to be said. And it was pretty clear that, cooped up as they were, her Hive had... a bit too much time on their hands, maybe. Time to think and dwell on things and explode with weird ideas like 'swimsuits.'
But public relations had been mentioned, and if the Hive members desired this, so long as it did not detract overmuch from their resources, she did not mind testing it as a concept.
She consulted the hive network, puzzling over some of these details.
In particular, she requested the following:
Were any of them familiar with swimming as a recreational activity? Did one need to... do anything, to prepare?
What sort of "games" were played during a "beach day?" Did
that require preparation of any sort, or supplies?
Snacks were a given; Dontas were plentiful, but drinks? Were there specific drinks traditional to beach consumption?
What were typical "prizes" for a "beach day" and--what competition was expected?
It was all very new to her, but perhaps the Hive members knew, from others in the cave, more about all this... stuff.
And if they had answers, well, she could (she supposed?) attempt to provide.
