HELLO! I’m a hero now!

[As stressful as stuff’s been around here lately, this little newcomer obviously doesn’t know about any of that. Among tired eyes from Feburary’s craziness she’s all smiles and excitement.]

This is awesome! I’m gonna get All The Badges for this. [A loud and unmistakable gasp!] I bet I can get my Heroic Hero badge! That’s the last one I need to get the Up-Outstanding Citizen pin. Yeeeees. Jo is gonna be so jealous.

[Ripley looks up and away from the camera, pursing her lips and obviously thinking hard. She isn’t speaking to the network so much anymore, she’s kind of drifted off into her own place.] But I need a Lumberjane leader to sign off on my badge requirements, and Jen’s not here! Noooooooo!! Maybe I could get another leader to do it? Are there even Lumberjanes here? Or Scouting Lads?

[Something jogs her memory of the camera infront of her and she looks back. She widens her eyes and addresses her audience again.] Stay away from the Scouting Lads! They’ve got zombie brains!

[She’s got another more to say on that though. So she goes silent. But only for a second, coming back with a complete topic change.]

Who wants to go on a hike!? Or make cookies. Except, I don’t know how to make cookies so, I guess who wants to teach me how to make cookies?

[ Aw, this kid's cute, if not... very excitable. ]

Take it easy, kiddo.

[She stares at the camera, feinting seriousness and striking the lumberjane salute.]

Taking it easy, miss Sargent Power Girl, sir.

[boobwindow]

Power Girl is just fine. Not a sir.

[ She waves a hand. ]

Alright, getting through your first question: unfortunately no, I don't think I've heard of the Lumberjanes. Sorry [ a beat ] Ripley.

[Loud and exaggerated "Uuuuuugh"]

I was gonna have more dinosaur adventures with them.

[boobwindow]

Well, that might be a blessing in disguise because that doesn't sound safe.

[ She scratches the backside of her head. ]

I'm sorry that you're separated from your friends, though. You alright?

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

I rode one like a horse!

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

I'm okay. A Lumberjane scout can adapt to anything!

[ Video ]

[onewiththewild]

Badges? I never heard of receiving something like that.

[ Video ]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

That's because you're not a Lumberjane! That's your first mistake.

[ Video ]

[onewiththewild]

What's a lumberjane?

[ Video ]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

A lumberjane is me! We're scouts who are lady types.

[ Video ]

[onewiththewild]

Well, I'm not a lady type, so I couldn't be a Lumberjane. [ so it's not really his mistake, is it? ]

[video]

[thebestseller]

Heroic Hero badge, huh? That sounds like quite an accomplishment.

[video]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

It issss! The other scouts are gonna be so jealous once I get it! I'll be King Lumberjane.

[video]

[thebestseller]

SO, what's involved in getting a Heroic Hero badge? I'm curious now.

[video]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

You gotta save someone from certain death!

Or save 10 cats. Cats are easier to find.

[video]

[thebestseller]

... really? You're a kid and they want you to save someone from certain death? I can see why you'd go for the cats, in that case.

[huitzilin]

[ there's a girl floating upside-down on screen. ]

A badge? What's a Lumberjane? I want a badge! Can I be a Lumberjane?

VIDEO.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

[omg! ripley flips her camera so they can both be upsidedown]

Are you a totally hardcore lady type?

[huitzilin]

[ hold on she has to think about this one.

she slowly turns in the air as she ponders this one over. ]

...

[ then, suddenly, it comes to her! ]

Totally!! Sometimes I dream of this salamander but I'm also a superhero and the salamander came after me in the hospital and there was fire everywhere!

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

[LOUD GASP.] That's so hardcore!

Was the salamander hurt in the fire!? Was he? Is he okay!?

[huitzilin]

He was an evil salamander trying to kill me!

[ this is a real story. ]

[resipiscent]

What's a Lumberjane? Sounds like the girl scouts thing Marceline and Mabel were talking about.

[The second part is said half to himself. He doesn't get these organizations of little girls.]

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

There are imPort scouts!? [Excited whisper:] I hafta join.

[And she (not purposefully) ignores the part of that which was actually directed at her. Sorry bud.]

[resipiscent]

Uh, yeah. I don't really... know much about it myself or anything.
