[Tonight's video comes from an empty storage unit -- those who have been downtown might recognize it as the building just to the east of the grocery store. Tess sits back on the pile of clothes and bags she's used to build a nest meant to make the cold floor more bearable. RGBV is back to curling up in the coat/mailbag bed she assembled for him, nose barely poking out, hardly even visible on the video feed even though she's got the mailbag practically in her lap. Tess raises a hand to wave at the camera, her cheerfulness not entirely forced.]

So, I've been having a thought. Life here sucks. Like -- wow. It's just the worst. But it doesn't have to be the worst in every way, you know? So I'm down here at the grocery store, a.k.a. the one place in town you can get bacon and good bread. Took me three days to get here from the hospital. So that's a week round trip, give or take, which doesn't work for someone who's trying to get back to the death zones, but it does kind of work for someone who just wants to feed people.

That's what I'm offering. I bring up some food, people meet me in the hospital, and you get to eat something that didn't come out of a vending machine and not, you know, die of sadness from your life sucking.

So, any requests? I've got almost as much as I can carry, but I've got to go back through the store on my way back tomorrow anyway.

Hey, how's it going on the communications front? Everything good?

We gotta get someone to do a runner for us back up to SnowClan. That sounds amazing.

i want a reuben

[He won't be there for, like, two weeks, and he's not the best about appetite and eating, but in his heart, he always wants a Reuben sandwich.]

and oreos

Communications? Oh! You mean the -- language. Thing. I speak English again now!

[And a butt-ton of other languages, but no need to mention.]

So where is the legendary SnowClan carving out their territory?

[Fuck it, yeah, she'll feed you even if you're a dick.]

Sure. When can you be at the hospital?

[Yeah, he's not giving his position away that easily. Not on the open network, anyway. House switches to private.]

about two weeks
just leave the fixings somewhere in the hospital
i'll find them

[Guess who casually gives her position away on the open network all the time without a second thought.]

Boring. But fine, don't let me cook you a meal fit for a god or anything. I'm sure your cold-ass sandwich is better.

i'll be conducting an experiment when i get there
don't need anyone else for it
sorry, babe
i know you're dying to see me again and all, but...

I'm not going to schedule around you one way or the other. And I don't mean that in a flirty way, I mean that in a if you want the hospital to yourself you're going to have to time it for when I'm not using it as a restaurant way.

[Well, that's annoying.]

experiment trumps your breakfast at tiffany's bullshit

What's the experiment?

need to know basis
if you need to know before you'll be less annoying
you keep it to yourself
i don't need the kitty clan
or whoever the hell else knowing where i am

Oh no. The kitty clan. How did you know that I'm their secret double agent here to pass all your plans to them. Shit wait oh no I'm a triple agent, the password is meow. You're welcome, but I'm going to need you to keep this hush-hush.

I was seriously just going to make you a sandwich, but suddenly you're more interesting again. I ask again, what's the experiment?

[Hah. Aren't you cute, Tess?]

we're trying to get behind the morgue lockers to the nima controls
see if we can reprogram the nanites

Now there's a "we"! You have a plan for how you're going to do it? Because I'll absolutely schedule that in, that sounds exciting.

i'm a team player

[When he needs a team.]

we're hauling a heat suit from the power plant
gonna coat it in rubble dust
should help with the anomaly down there
i'm hoping it'll hold off the mn poisoning effects, too
that way we can get in through the open lockers when they pop at midnight
you wanna do something more useful than leaving me a sandwich?
start grinding rubble and leave it in one of the cabinets there for me to find
less to carry on the way
less work when we get there

Oh, I just live to be useful. Who's going in the suit? You? Are you going to record it for posterity? Because it kind of sounds like you've got a good chance of dying. How good are you with computers?

i'm going in the suit

i live by the edict:
"pics or it didn't happen"

i'll probably die

good enough i can manage
it's medical computers
i'm better with those than most other computers

Send me the feed if you do it when I'm not there.

yes, mistress

That's a weird death price. I guess it could be worse, though, at least you had a couple people who you could communicate with! [He sounds pretty cheerful about it.]

Well, if it was up to me, I'd say we lay claim to all of Norfinbury and you all have to pay taxes to us now. Preferably in the form of candy. Directly to me, personally. But we're hanging around the east side of the residential areas so. Y'know. Whatever.

Careful, I could get used to that kind of talk.

[And he could get himself fatebound. Best not bring that up, though; it's unlikely in this environment and there's not a lot she can do about it without totally withdrawing herself from the people around her anyway.]

Edited 2018-02-21 16:53 (UTC)

i am a snake-in-training, right?

Yeah, I was kind of surprised so many people spoke it.

[Seems she learned...well, almost as much about others from the ordeal as they did about her.]

Pshaw, you can get candy anywhere. I've got bacon. I should probably demand...something. Pretty sure bacon possession is nine tenths of the law.

Yes, and you're being a very good boy. Mostly. But then, snakes are pretty dumb.

[R U D E.]

hiss hiss
be careful
or i'll stop inviting you to my
"probably gonna die
but it'll be a wicked way to go"
parties
