Emerald introduces both of them, and asks the wasp her name.
The wasp pauses for a second, though her eyes do get a little less angry looking. After a moment she says, “My name is Joyride.”
“Joyride? What, you mean like, Joyride? Our Joyride?” Ruby says nonplussed, trying to make sense of the situation.
“Oh, you know Joyride?” She says, finally swimming a bit closer in the goo, “So you are that Emerald, and that Ruby?”
Emerald says that they probably are, and asks what Joyride has said about them.
“Ruby the handmaiden.” Wasp Joyride says, causing Ruby to make a funny face, “And Emerald Jewel, the future father of this hive.”
Emerald asks what she means, caught completely off guard by this.
“The goddess Joyride said that once I grow big and strong enough you will help me sire enough children to fill this entire world.” Wasp Joyride says spreading her arms wide to the hole around them.
“Goddess Joyride, huh?” Ruby asks with a disbelieving chuckle.
“Yes, of course. The all seeing. The one that brought me here, protects me, and even let me share her name. She watches over us, even now.” The wasp says pointing upward through the roof-less house.
Emerald looks up, and can’t help to sigh and feel somewhat annoyed for some reason.
The top of the hole has a crescent shaped moon on it with Joyride’s trademark grin.
What does Emerald do?
