[Enjoy a video of Tommy being broadcast to all residents of Agra 10. He looks... sad. And tired.]

Listen, something happened. I'm not going to have as much time to manage the diner all on my own. I've asked before, but we've got new people and some people sounded sorta interested. Are there maybe people who would be willing to help cook? I can do prep stuff super fast, but I'm going to need people managing the rest of the meals for a few days.

Also, if I could get some extra hands in the greenhouse because I've gotta deal with a family thing but also gotta process all this quarantined food.

I don't ask for help a lot. But I could really stand to get a few more hands for a week or so.

Dude, I can cook. I know how.

And I can help out at the greenhouse if someone shows me what needs to be done.

You okay?

[doubled_speed]

Fuck, we might have to set up a cooking chore wheel. But yeah, if you're gonna help anywhere, the greenhouse needs a lot of work. Feeding everyone is important too. Whatever you need.

[Man, it's complicated.]

Sometimes the people that come here, they don't stay. They just... they're just gone out of nowhere. Happened to my brother-in-law.

[kyley_b]

Okay, then throw me in the greenhouse. I'll figure it out. Or, wait, I bet there's a data point for that? Fuck it, I'll go get that shit put in my brain if it'll help.

[Kyle's expression immediately softens.] Oh, oh dude, I'm sorry. You gotta be there for your brother, I get it.

Can I get you guys anything or do anything for you right now?

[doubled_speed]

There is a data point, but if you tell me when you're willing to put time into it, I can stop by and show you how to do things that need done each day. At this time it's a lot of planting and clearing.

[Huh, Jersey man, you're being pretty okay.]

Just the help with the whole kitchens thing. I need to deal with my little cape-boy

[kyley_b]

I'm available whenever, dude. It's not like I've got a whole lot going on. I don't even know where the hell I'm living yet.

Well, if you need anything brought over, let me know. [As if the two insanely powerful twins couldn't get anything they wanted easily.]

[doubled_speed]

Do you need help figuring that out? There's the hotel, it's got some spaces to set up when you're first getting started. Or talk to that Reeve punk. He's like a builder or some shit.

[They can get a lot, but not the men they love.]

[kyley_b]

I'll figure it out. You do what you gotta do, man, I'll cook and water and plant.

[Without being asked, Kyle resolves to find time to swing by and drop off something nice for Tommy's brother. He knows all about heartbroken loved ones.]

[doubled_speed]

[Wow, Kyle. That's nice. huh.]

You're pretty helpful, Jersey.

[kyley_b]

Well. Yeah.

All we have is each other, dude.

[doubled_speed]

I mean, we've also got literally everyone else here too.

[kyley_b]

I meant collectively. Jesus. I'm not like... ugh. You know what I mean.

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, I know.

[But he had to give SOMEONE a hard time when everyone is being fucking REASONABLE.]

[kyley_b]

[Sigh.]

Yeah, sorry. I'll hook up with everybody else who wants to help.

[doubled_speed]

[Oh Kyle.]

Hey Teacher-Boy. Thanks. You're pretty cool.

[kyley_b]

Well. Yeah.

[doubled_speed]

Don't act like you knew that.

[kyley_b]

Don't be a dingus, dude.

[doubled_speed]

Dingus isn't a word.

[kyley_b]

Yeah it is.

[doubled_speed]

It's really not.

[kyley_b]

It really is, English is constantly evolving, dude.

[doubled_speed]

No, humanity is evolving, that's what mutants are.

[kyley_b]

English is a living language, it's why they update the fucking dictionary!

Mutants, while cool, do not get the final say on whether or not dingus is a word! Don't make me hit you, dude, Sansa might give me a disappointed look.

[doubled_speed]

Ha! That's where you're wrong. No one has ever come into my home and changed my dictionary.

[He doesn't have a dictionary. But he does enjoy winding Kyle up.]

You couldn't hit me if you wanted to, Jersey. So don't disappoint my Aunt.

[kyley_b]

[That just gets an inarticulate growl. Winding Kyle up is so very easy.]

I won't, she's super nice.
