Yyyes, but then I'd have to tell you where I am, which would mean d-- Jack would have even more reason to strangle you. Think along the lines of throttling you, then throttling himself so he'd be revived with you in order to immediately strangle you again.

He's, um - he's very dedicated.

To strangling.

[idkmybffjesus]

Come on, you think no one's tried to strangle me before? You could pretty much look at my life as a series of attempts on it.

[ gee biff i wonder why. a beat. ]

But if it makes you feel better, I could leave them somewhere for you.

GOING PRIVATE FROM HERE, EAT A DICK JACK

[phaseshifter]

Really? I'm surprised your head is still attached, with all the abuse your neck must have taken.

[ Have a tiny unsure smile while she mulls that offer over. HRMM.

 

Okay yeah time to filter the heckie out of this. Jack's already murderous, HOW MUCH WORSE CAN IT GET ]

Um, okay - I'm planning on following the walls, so, um. If - if you can find a spot to hide it near one of those, I'm sure I'll reach it eventually?

private B)

[idkmybffjesus]

That sounds a little counter productive, doesn't it? Making you walk through the snow to eventually find warm clothes?

[phaseshifter]

Well - I'm going to have to walk through the snow anyway. And it isn't like I mind it! It's kind of fun. Since, um, it makes a change from the whole... robots and being locked up thing.

[idkmybffjesus]

Yeah, loads of fun right up until you freeze to death.

[phaseshifter]

I'm not going to freeze. I do at least have the coat that was left for me. And I know my limits! I won't be taking any unnecessary risks. For sure.

[idkmybffjesus]

Look, I'd love to believe you, but from what you've told me you're new to all this. Are you sure you know your limits? Because let me tell you, the cold is a bitch.

[phaseshifter]

I'm certain. People have given me lots of advice! And maps. And I know a thing or two from watching people over the ECHOnet, so. Don't fuss!

[idkmybffjesus]

[ a pause, then the sigh of someone who REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO BE AGREEING ]

Do you have a compass? Or any way to figure out North from where you are?

[phaseshifter]

Um... no.

Which way does the sun set, here? I can, um, go off that.

[idkmybffjesus]

[ this is the sound of his confidence in her ability to survive draining away. nnrrrg. ]

In the West. Do you see any big icy walls where you are?

[phaseshifter]

Yes! I'm right by one. Which is good, because that should make it a lot easier to find my bearings, right?

[ SEE SHE KNOWS THINGS, SHE'S GOT THIS ]

[idkmybffjesus]

Oh yeah, that'll definitely help. And as soon as you figure out which way is West you can let me know which wall it is you're next to, and that'll help even more.

[phaseshifter]

 

 

 

You're making fun of me again, aren't you.

[ ET TU, BIFF ]

[idkmybffjesus]

Would it get you any closer to letting me help you if I denied it?

[phaseshifter]

Nuh-uh. I'm in the middle of one of my fits of rebellion! There's just no dealing with me.

[ And isn't she fucking delighted about it. ]

[idkmybffjesus]

Look, how much longer do you expect this fit to be? I'm running out of long-suffering sighs over here.

[phaseshifter]

Um - a few days? A week? I'm not sure. Honestly, I'm fine. Really!

[idkmybffjesus]

Well, alright, but if you die I'm gonna feel really guilty. Don't do that to me.

[phaseshifter]

I won't if you won't. Keep your neck protected, okay? Just in case.

[idkmybffjesus]

I'll keep the eyes in the back of my head peeled, I promise.
