[audio] @vegemight; bad life choice brigade rides again [open]

[magnitudes]

Okay, okay. Okay.

( There’s a sound in the background, probably recognisable to most as a microwave. There’s another sound that might be recognisable to some by now: Sarissa being a little drunk. )

So, tragedy: wet clothes. Disaster, right? I was thinking, I can’t put ‘em in a dryer, ‘cause they’ll shrink. And I can’t put ‘em on a line out in the sun, because this place is a big fuck you to that whole concept, I bet, even in summer.

Problem solved, though. I’m on it.

( She is not, in fact, on it. In fact, though it cannot be seen by the listener or Sarissa, her clothes are starting to smoke, rather than steam. ) Anyways, I was telling Molly about how handy microwaves are, and then I thought: hey. Extra problem solving.

(Off-screen, Molly says:) Uh, Sarissa? Is there supposed to be this much smoke?

Ain’t smoke, mate. It’s steam. ( She’ll be right. There’s a long pause, and then— ) oh motherfuck!

[ So, he wanted to stick to text with the network, mostly, but if his read of the situation is right, he is pretty sure text probably wouldn't be the most conducive medium here. ]

Hi. Can you spell your name backward? Just wondering. [ Really. Not trying to be a busybody. Just curious. ]

What kind bloody question is that?

( Theres a whump sound in the background, and presumably the sounds of a fire being stamped out. )

[arsarcanum]

An honest one! Seriously. Unless you can't do it, which is cool. I'll leave you to it either way. [ He really is just curious, but he also doesn't want this person's house to burn down. Please take care of that first. ]

[magnitudes]

But why is it— I can, it’s just— why is it relevant?

A-S-S-I-R-A-S. ( Because she CAN and so she MUST) What kinda gremlin are you? Just an honest question.

[arsarcanum]

Oh, good job. [ Right, that's a couple of questions answered! ] Like I said, I was just curious. [ ... Okay, that is a lie and he's bad at lying. She is free to point out that he's being a little too nonchalant about this. ]

Me? A gremlin? Naaah. Just a bystander hoping nothing burned down over there. [ It's a very sincere sentiment. See? Complete non-gremlin behavior, dear stranger! ]

so sorry for the repeat slowness, this week is so much

[magnitudes]

( You can almost hear the squinting. )

That sounds like bullshit, little sprout.

( Both the curiosity and the bystander thing. )

Definitely gremlin energy. Can you spell your name backwards?

we are all struggling through this morass of time we call life, my friend. (take your time :^))

[arsarcanum]

[ A little sniff of offense at the "sprout" comment, there. Hey! He grew a whole four and a half inches in high school! That should count for something.

This is a pause, Sarissa. It's actually a pretty long one! So very long. So very deliberate. Is someone having trouble spelling their own name backward? ]

T-I-G-N-A-L. [ Spelled very carefully, but clearly. ]

( There is no use for empirical evidence in this house. In this house there is only room for baseless accusations and potentially inaccurate nicknames. And occasionally scrabble. )

Tignal.

Langit? Am I saying that right? ( Lang-it. ) I don't reckon we've met, Langers.

gasp :0!!!

[arsarcanum]

[ Sounds like a party! Sora loves a party. ]

Perfect. [ Not his name, but close enough, and that is indeed how you pronounce it. No complaints here. ] We haven't! I just got here. Just wanted to see what other people got up to here. Microwaving clothes wasn't high on my list of things I expected to hear about, though.
