maybe something to do with brooke and carma (from peace sign) bc they’re best girls :’) it could just be brooke dicking around with the squad and dragging carma into her shenanigans???

For context, go check out @koyuki-tan‘s “Peace Sign.”

“Carma, let’s get into some mischief,” says Brooke with a grin.

“Brooke, it’s eleven at night. I want to sleep,” Carma says nervously.

“We’re playing a practical joke on our Squad. Join or become one of the victims,” Brooke says, adopting a deadly serious tone.

Carma has to laugh. “Did you used to try this with your sisters?”

“All the time,” Brooke says, squinting at Carma. “We’re gonna play a game of sock-switching.”

“Sock…switching?”

“The most maddening joke there is. Men have gone insane from mismatched socks. And tonight, Koharu and Marie both did laundry.” Brooke waves her arms around. 

“I don’t know…” Carma says.

“Come on.” Brooke tugs Carma downstairs to the laundry machine. “Mix up the pairs. We can do this.”

“Brooke, this is pure evil.”

“Pure awesomeness, you mean.” Brooke lifts up one of Marie’s fuzzy socks and Koharu’s neon ones. “What a lovely couple, these two.”

Carma giggles. She could match some of the neon and floral patterns…they’d almost go together. 

Brooke wants use this opportunity to demand more information on Carma’s Masaya, but she’d rather get to know her friend better. After all, they’re rarely alone together. 

“What’s your favorite ice cream?” She asks instead.

Carma laughs. “Rose petal.”

“Why am I surprised. It’s chocolate for me. The more elaborate – chocolate fudge with brownie chunks and chips – the better.” Brooke grins as she throws a pair of one striped and one floral sock into Koharu’s basket. “They’re gonna kill us tomorrow.”

“is this what large families do?” Carma asks with a giggle.

“The best ones do.” Brooke winks, and Carma feels a rush of freedom. She’s in this family alongside zany Brooke. And by some miracle, they both belong.
