[Network] @hotstud_xxx; video | Day 52, evening [open]

[rubikscomplex]

[The video feed will show the inside of a tool shed where a small, flying robot is moving around in the dim light cast by the tablet.]

Hey, Trinity! Wibblelips! Look what I found. It flies, it screams, it's alive. It also happens to be the reason I'm stuck in a shed for the night. Now, I got a screwdriver.

[The screwdriver is held up into view in a pink-gloved hand.]

And I got a hammer.

[The screwdriver is set down and the hammer is picked up to show.]

It's a hammer of justice. It's a hammer of warning. And it's going to be the hammer I take to that freaking thing unless you tell me how to get it to stop screaming in my face. Hiro, you needed some robot parts, right? Might be able to get you some.

cw: more of house being a terrible and vulgar person

[rubikscomplex]

clarification: my hurting it gets it to blow up
i'll consider that for tomorrow when i can actually put some distance between it and me before i try
you owe me a hammer if this doesn't pan out and i come back to life after dying
or i'll take a hammering
you know
the fun kind

just can't help himself, can he?

[luckystarlimit]

Enjoy getting knocked about by someone smaller than you are, then?

[Oh she knows what he meant, but that doesn't mean she can't twist it into subtle accusations of masochist tendencies.]

not in the least

[rubikscomplex]

how do I know you're smaller?
i've only seen the top
you could be all legs below that

[luckystarlimit]

Well, you'll have to take my word for it but precedent says I'm probably shorter than you are.

[rubikscomplex]

under 6'2" even with the heels
(and the rest of me is in proportion
if you know what i mean
wink wink)

[luckystarlimit]

Considering I'd need foot-high heels to even come close to that, I'd say my initial guess was right.

And just how many pairs of heels do you have? Because you've given me some interesting mental images now.

[Yes, she knows that's not what he means but it's amused her enough not to let it go.]

[rubikscomplex]

[He can roll with it.]

well none here
a boy's gotta be sensible about his footwear
but you've got to have the standard black pumps -
no closet's complete without them
a nice set of stilettos -
i'm all for red
then a nice white for the really festive occasions

[luckystarlimit]

Well, I can see why you wouldn't want the white ones here. If you lost one, you might never find it again in all this snow.

Stilettos might be useful, though. Never know when you'll need something sharp and pointy.

[Spoken as someone who has often had to decide her outfits around concealing as many weapons and makeshift weapons about her person as humanly possible.]

[rubikscomplex]

stilettos in snow?
catsuit, pls
i'd have to go barefoot and catch frostbite
if i were wearing any heels here, they'd be sensible ones
i can do sharp and pointy when i find a knife later
