Geoffrey turned over on his side. He'd been awake for about an hour now, but couldn't make himself leave his sleeping bag when Raphael was still asleep. He wasn't sure why he'd woken up so early, but sleeping on the ground probably had something to do with it. He sighed before deciding it was time to wake Raphael anyway, so he should probably do something with his day.
"Frère Raphael, Frère Raphael, Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?" he began singing quietly before reaching over to shake him gently. "Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines! Ding, daing, dong. Ding, daing, dong!"
He straightened up and stretched while his friend stirred in his sleep, hand brushing against the side of the tent. They really needed a house. It was then that a thought occurred to him and he realized he'd have to go home later that day. For now, he had other business to attend to, but after he took care of that, then he could put his plan into motion.

"I'll ding your daing dong," the Valentine boy muttered sleepily, reaching out to very lightly bop his tentmate. "What time is it...?" he asked, sitting up and looking blearily around, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. He saw the early sunshine streaming in through the opening of their fraternity tent. He yawned, stretching widely while commmenting, "It's not even time for brunch yet, why are we awake?" He stood in a crouch, pulling on his shirt. He stepped out of the tent so he could stand straight. He tousled his wavy brown hair and rubbed his face before ducking back inside to grab his vest and sash. He slid the clothing over one shoulder as he said,
"Is there something on the docket for today that I don't know about, good seraphim?"

Geoffrey followed suit and pulled his shirt on, tied his scarf around his neck and put his beret on his head.
"First of all," he replied, "It is always time for brunch, mon ami. Second, I think I have a new recruit. Also, I think I know of a house we can... how you say... borrow," he said, only a bit more innocently than normal, sleepiness having already partially worn off.
He made his way out of the tent and let out a yawn as he stretched on his toes. "While this dynamic duo is beautiful in every way, there's always room for more in our humble abode if we have a proper house."

Raphael stretched backwards, his back cracking in a very satisfactory way.
"Hmm. A house would be very nice, I think. As long as the person we're borrowing it from is okay with it, of course." he said, giving Geoffrey a knowing glance. "And new recruits, huh? This wouldn't happen to be the blue haired and overly emotional guys I see you hanging out with sometimes, would it?" The only people Raphael had seen Geoffrey hang out with had mostly been girls - many, many girls - but he didn't think that was who his friend was referring to.

Geoffrey: "Mais, bien sûr! I'm shocked you would think otherwise, mon ami!" He grinned at his friend. "The very same! I'm sure if we could find wherever they're staying right now, we could get them to join! And," he added, "they would most likely also join us for brunch. What do you think, mon cher compagnon!"

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmm" he let out in a drawl, stretching one of his shoulders until it popped. "More companions for brunch would be nice. Maybe people would stop asking how I managed to land such a high profile date~" he said, winking at Geoffrey. He followed the seraphim across campus, to the dorms where the brotherhood-less stayed. The fresh grass bent softly under their feet, springing back up instantly. They entered the dorm building, making their way up to a shockingly pink dormitory. Small bunches of plastic-y grass were tucked along the hall and above doorways. There was at least one bird's nest in the rafters that had an actual bird in it, and he saw at least one brightly colored egg peeking at him from an odd hiding place. When they arrived at what he assumed was the appropriate door, Geoffrey knocked enthusiastically. Raphael bent to pet a bunny that hopped by, waiting to finally be properly introduced.

Hans: "FFFFRRRAANNZZIIEEE, WILL YOU WAKE UP FOR FUCK'S SAKE, PRETTY PLEASE!?" He sighed and rubbed his cheeks. Hans, fully dressed complete with a bright purple apron, football-player style slammed the couch Franz was sleeping on. The force was enough to knock him off the couch completely. Hans let out a horrified gasp. "Fuh...Franz! OH NO ARE YOU ALL...AW COME ON!" Franz lay sleeping as soundly as ever, and managed to turn away from him, smile on face. Hans pulled on his own face; "FRANZ IT'S BEEN HALF AN HOUR AND WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF HERE TWO HOURS AGO AND---"
Hearing a knocking on the door, he froze. "THEY'RE HERE FRANZIE." Franz sat up, fully awake and terrified. In nothing but boxer shorts and gloves, he stumbled to get up and grabbed Hans' shoulders. "WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP SOONER? THEY'RE HERE ALREADY?!?" Hans, being shook between every word, grew more and more frazzled. "UH UH....N-NOBODY'S HOME AT THE MOMENT." Franz looked at him in horror, "NOW THEY KNOW PEOPLE ARE IN HERE, BRUH." They held each other for a moment before breaking off. Franz, still undressed, ran and started to pack whatever the duo would need in whatever luggage still had the least amount of room. Hans started to finish cleaning/dusting every single thing he came in contact with. "J-JUST A SECOND, BITTE!!!" He shrieked. Franz ran gel and the like through his hair and finally called to Hans. "J-just try to stall them, okay?? We can be out in three minutes!!!" Hans nodded, still freaked out, and opened the door, purple apron and duster in all, his hands in a prayer-like fashion.
"I AM SO SORRY WE WERE JUST LEAVING PLEASE DON'T KICK US OUT OF..." He stood in awe for a moment and lit back up, tossing the duster into their room. "MEIN GOTT GEOFFREY YOU SCARED THE LIVING SHEEEEEEEEEET OUT OF ME." He grabbed his friend's hand and sighed. "I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AND...OH JUST WAIT A SECOND!!" He turned and called back, "FRANZIE COME QUICK IT'S OUR ~~~WUNDERBAR~~~ FRIENDS!!"
Franz slid in wayyy behind Hans still packing things, not realizing he was completely visible from their point of view. "HANS why do you pack so STUPID. How are you planning on EVER UNPACKING---" He looked over to see Geoffrey and a...new guy? He walked over to them to introduce himself, still not fully awake. He hesitantly checked his hair with one hand. Felt all right, okay. Still, his eyes flashed back to the luggage. Something was missing... He bit his lips and put his hands on his hips, deep in thought. Oh, fork on the left, you're being rude! He looked over to his new company, and back at Hans who was...laughing?
Hans turned bright red. He tried to cover his mouth from laughing but to no avail. He whispered, far too obvious, "FRANZIE TAKE MY APRON!!!"
Franz furrowed his brow and started to ask why until he finally figured it out. Oh God, OH GOD. His face turned redder than Hans' did.
"WAIT, WHOA NO. THE APRON'S GOING TO LOOK A LOT WORSE." He pushed the apron back towards Hans, who then insisted he wore SOMETHING. After a few rounds of seemingly reverse tug of war, they both looked up in terror, red faced, realizing they STILL had company.
"Fuck..."

Geoffrey: Actually at a loss for words, he just stared at the sight. He had ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what was going on. He peered at Raphael out of the corner of his eye and smiled nervously.
"SOOO, Raphael, these are my buddies, Hans and Franz! They're the people I was telling you about... earlier... who would like brunch... and maybe to join our fraternity..." he trailed off. "BRUNCH. BRUNCH FIRST, RIGHT GUYS?" He wondered how much more obvious he had to be that he was trying to help them make a good first impression on Raphael. Not that he would care much, but... Wow, they really were not put together this morning.

Raphael stood awkwardly to the side. Being from Valentine's, nudity didn't really bother him - unless the person was purposely trying to be seductive. But he could clearly tell the that two boys were flustered, and so he averted his eyes for their sake.
"It's good to meet you," he said, one hand going behind his head and threading through his hair. "I'm Raphael. Raphael Fiori. I've heard a lot about you two. A lot of good things!" He added. He saw their strings trailing off through the walls. The purpl-y-brunette one - Hans? - had a very bright string, but it was quite tangled. Not nearly as tangled as Geoffrey's had been, and fought to be constantly, but still it made his fingers itch to undo the knots. The blue haired one - Franz? - had a much more subdued string, although he couldn't tell from here if it was strong or not. Color and vibrancy wasn't everything.

Hans: He stood for a moment wide eyed before laughing, "OH WELL HI~, I'm Hans and THIS is--" Franz shot him a look and cut him off. "Just a minute, guys!!!" He slammed the door closed. From the outside, one could hear a lot of thrashing about and cursing before the door opened again momentarily, showing a fully dressed Franz and a smiling Hans. The former sighed, "Sorry about that, dudes. We've been pretty pressed for time this morning, with like...being kicked out and everything." Hans whimpered, "We couldn't pay the rent we owned!! We didn't know it cost money until the Halloween teacher here told us!!!" He couldn't help but to shrink back a bit. "She's super scary..."
"Yeah uh, Ms. Loveless is something else, really. But uh, what did you say, man? Brunch??" "BRUNCH SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL!" Hans threw his hands in the air. "Let's go Franzie!!! We've been packing all night, we can take a break!!! If we're not here they can't kick us out!" He winked. Franz, stomach growling, gave in. "Okay, lead the way guys! Oh, and uh, it's nice to meet you...Raphael, right? Sorry about that. My name's Franz." He closed the door behind him and Hans ran up to Geoffrey, spring in step. "HEY uh, brunch means food, right pal!?"

Geoffrey: "Kicked out??? I wasn't aware it cost money!" He was GLAD he was staying in a tent currently! "That's awful! I haven't met her, and from all the rumors I've heard about her, I'm not looking forward to it!"
He laughed at Hans's question. "Mais, bien sûr, mon ami! Brunch is the most important meal of the day, that's what I say! Breakfast and lunch all in one, but more... sophistiqué." He was pretty sure sophistiqué was just 'sophisticated' in English, but sophistiqué was so much MORE sophisticated, in his opinion!
"Brunch aside, tell me, do you two need a place to stay?"

Raphael: He jumped a little when the door was slammed shut. During the resulting chaos, he leaned over to Geoffrey and whispered, "Are they always like this, or is it just a bad day for them?" When the door opened again he straightened quickly.
He stayed mostly quiet at the onslaught of noise. He figured he would let Geoffrey take the reigns, they were his friends after all. "I guessed you were Franz." a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Geoffrey talks about the two of you a LOT."

Hans: "JA! We didn't either until she told us! DANK GOTT oder we would have been kicked out a LONG time ago!!!" He happily skipped along, stopping twice to pet a bunny and to pick up eggs and hide them somewhere else. "Geoffrey!!! Du sagt süß, aber... I have like, NO IDEA what you're trying to say. LIke....No idea pal. But food's good!!"
Franz: "Was, really? Dude how could you tell? People get us mixed up all the time." He lowered an eyebrow as Hans was petting a bunny, and promptly moved to avoid it. "Whoa, he does? Oh shiittt, like what?" He laughed, "Like, nothing TOO bad, I hope! We're usually two pretty cool guys." Aw dammit, he didn't mean to brag. "Uh, I'm sure you are too! A-are you from Valentine's then, too? You guys look like you're close!" He was hoping that would mean he wasn't part animal in the least. As far as he was concerned, for some reason Valentine's and Christmas residents tended to be on the safe side.
Hans threw his hands on his cheeks, "WOW you mean you really have a place for us to stay!?!? THAT WOULD BE GREAT!" He ran up to Geoffrey so he was a little closer. "Please uh...don't make me move in with my dad, bitte. It's uh...it's really not for the best!"

Geoffrey: "Oh! Je su-- Sorry! Sorry!" He laughed. "I've been AWFULLY French lately! I was just saying of course it meant food! And it's like lunch and breakfast combined but even better." When they came to the end of the hall, Geoffrey stepped onto the stairs and looked back, allowing Franz and Raphael to catch up to them. "And... yes, I believe so." He smiled crookedly at his friend. "I would never make you move back home, mon ami!" He put his arm around him before continuing, "Buuuut, more on that over brunch!"

Raphael: "All good things, I promise. He does talk about that one," he said, indicating Hans, "A lot more, but he mentions you often too. Mostly talking about how fun you are and how much he likes your hair." He quickly dance-stepped one foot away from very nearly stepping on a surprisingly small bunny, and the other from almost tripping over someone's string. "Ah, yes. I'm Valentine's. And we're good friends, definitely." he said, smiling. "We actually didn't meet until we both came here, but Geoffrey's one of those - best friends forever in the first hour, or not really friends at all, you know?" He shook his head before continuing. "You're Easter, that's incredibly obvious. What is your town like? Is it just sort of all...... this?" he asked, looking around at the pastel colors, animals, grass, and eggs all over.
