[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!

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. ]

>:)a steals all the time

( 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.
