[Network Video]

[work_wife]

Good Morning I guess?

[Was it morning? Was it late at night? These thirty hour days were really messing up Robin's sense of time, especially with it being winter and all of that and the days being long and so many other things. But of course that's not relevant because, well... The video makes it very clear that she's not in a place that makes sense to be. There's a big icy and rocky wall behind her. This... is probably a problem?]

Two things? First, is there a way that we can edit that map thingy on these little devices? Like, maybe survey where all the really deep pits are in Temba and mark them on the map? Maybe put up cones around them as a warning? Actually, more maps sounds good. Maybe some of the ships too, because I got lost there a few times because they're so big.

[A Robin Buckley in stress will talk. A lot. Don't mind her. She's working up to it.]

As for the second thing...

[She turns the device to pan around the space she's in. Which is more stone. More ice. Then it tilts up to see the sky far above and the snow falling thickly down. Down into the hole that Robin has clearly fallen into.]

Also, can anyone, like, fly? I'm sorta trapped? Underground. In one of those holes. I'd tell you where but, you know, lack of map having them? Um. Help? Please? Soon? It's really cold and still snowing.

[ His eyes are rolling so hard he might have given himself a migraine. So have that on your conscience too. ]

I don't know why you want your final words to be a lie, but I guess it's your call.

[work_wife]

[You deserve the migraine.]

Maybe I should tell him your secrets for second-level hair.

[farrahfawcetts]

[ You're a menace to society. ]

Why am I being punished when you are the one who went out and got yourself stuck in a hole. Doesn't seem very fair, Court of Buckley.

[work_wife]

The Court of Buckley is a neutral third party that is always neutral.

[This is not neutral. He should know better. He KNOWS she's clumsy. Why is this shocking?]

And excuse me, I'm not even the first one of us to get tricked through a hole! That was mister Swim Team Co-Captain who wanted to take his shirt off to impress his ex-girlfriend and the guy he was already probably closet crushing on.

[farrahfawcetts]

Okay, I was not 'tricked through a hole', Robin. I was pulled through it by a freaking tentacle of Vecna. And, for the record, I was not already closet crushing on Eddie...

[ He...thinks. His face might not be so certain on that fact because...hm. Maybe. But whatever, not important. ]

What were you even doing?!

[work_wife]

You were. I saw the way you looked when dude's reaction for defending himself was to go after you with a broken bottle. Face it, you've got a thing for people with weapons pointed at you.

[Ha. Dirty laundry all aired out. Clearly.]

I was WALKING, Dingus.

[Enjoy that Dustin-esque 'I know better than you' tone that is developing here.]

And anyone could have fallen into this. Snow bridges are a common threat when dealing with crevasses and holes in wintry conditions. Areas that seem stable and instead prove to be flimsy and fall through when weight is put on them.

[In glaciers. And apparently here too.]

[farrahfawcetts]

[ No one deserves to be called out like this. ]

He was strong, okay? It was... It was impressive, that was all. Like picked me up and- shut up. We're not talking about that.

We're talking about how walking is a hazard for you, apparently. And how you need a watcher. We're definitely starting the buddy system. Next time you'll fall into the volcano some how.

[work_wife]

Yeah. Sure. It was the strong. And not that you get off on danger.

[No, we're not talking about her. Listen, it's more fun to talk to you.]

[farrahfawcetts]

I don't get off on danger! What the fuck! I liked Nancy back when the most dangerous thing in my life was cutting my finger shotgunning a beer!

[ Congratulations, you have distracted him. ]

[work_wife]

Didn't Nancy point a gun at you before.

[She stands by her point.]

[farrahfawcetts]

That was after I already was dating her! I had already slept with her at that point! It's not like that was when I fell in love!

[ He's...pretty sure about that. At least like 70%. ]

[work_wife]

You know you can sleep with people without being in love, right? And are you sure you didn't? Though I guess from what I've heard, it's pretty clear that she's been dangerous around you quite a bit.

[farrahfawcetts]

You're such a pest. I am gonna go find the hole you're in just so I can make sure no one saves you. This is now a time out.

[work_wife]

Wow, freezing to death is time out? How are you my best friend?

[farrahfawcetts]

Trauma bonding.

[ Okay now you activated the mother hen. ]

Are you really that cold? Are your fingers like blue or anything?

[work_wife]

Yeah, there is that. And my being amused at you being a dingus from time to time.

[Oh, she should check her fingers.]

Good so far.

[farrahfawcetts]

Good. Remember to like breathe on them or whatever. You're not allowed to freeze to death. That's a really lame death.

wrap?

[work_wife]

Honestly, I'd prefer to go in a lame way than in the sorts of ways we get back home. But I won't die. Someone's here. I'll talk to you after I'm saved and warmed up.

wrap!

[farrahfawcetts]

Good. I'll talk to you soon, klutzo.

[work_wife]

Oh fuck off. Later Steve.
