text - UN: IceCream (CW mention of drowning risks)
[Well, this one didn't put up public service messages often, did she? But, if there was a remote chance your spouse might show up one day in the heart of winter, well... you'd probably do it too.]
Right, so, if we're all done having oodles of fun running for our lives from crazy nutjobs in this maze of a town, I've got something we should all be thinking about. (Also, thank you Trench. I knew you'd deliver. I was almost bored there for a moment. Now this place feels like a nightmare.)
I saw something on my window while I was recovering from my last maze run. Frost. You know, that pretty white stuff that forms on your windowsills and makes you people all silly with this holiday spirit or whatever? Nice stuff. Gorgeous. So idyllic. Yeah, where there's frost, there's ice. And ice likes to form on top of water. If you haven't figured out where I'm going with this?
I'm taking bets on whether or not you think the coastline's gonna freeze for the next two months. Your first bet doesn't count. Everyone's a winner. Your prize? Grab a pickaxe.
That's right, dumb dumbs. Squids seem to show up at the same time we showed up in the dream. Very end of the month and first week of the month, and if that coast freezes, they're going to pound right into a sheet of ice. Get blankets, start fires, grab a pickaxe. Also, maybe flares or burning arrows wouldn't be a bad idea. Folks can come to you if you find a squid and need help. I have five I got lucky enough to have in my backpack and I intend to use them. Unless you want next month's new arrivals to drown in the water and/or freeze to death. And if you do? I recommend not replying to this. I'm not in the best of moods.
And if one of you hero types feels like actually organizing this thing, go for it. You know where I'll be.

YOU MADE AN ENTIRE POST ABOUT CARING ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF THOUGH. YOU'RE SO TRANSPARENT IT'S EMBARRASSING.
no subject
My wife may be making an appearance and I'm not letting her freeze to death.
I am absolutely willing to admit I care about her well being.
I just happen to know riling up the hero types does wonders too.
And apparently brings you out of the woodwork as well.
And keep protesting.
You sound positively chummy about me stabbing you.
no subject
OKAY, YEAH, I WILL AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ONE. HERO TYPES ARE HILARIOUS TO FUCK WITH. THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT THEMSELVES ANYWAY SO WE MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY IT ON THE SIDELINES.
LISTEN, I NOSE MY WAY INTO EVERYTHING, OKAY.
STABBING ISN'T THAT BAD IN RETROSPECT. I'D PROBABLY JUST STAB BACK AND THEN WE'D LAUGH ABOUT IT AND BOND OVER IT SOME DAY.
no subject
No promises about having any outside of that, but I'll do a favor if it helps her.
So, there's my weakness in making me useful to the town.
They're amazingly easy to manipulate, even when they know you're doing it.
You're going to have to hit me first, fucko.
I really am going to stab you one of these days at this rate.
no subject
YES, THEY REALLY PUT A TARGET ON THEIR OWN FACES.
GO AHEAD. THIS PLACE IS BORING ANYWAY. THIS IS ME GIVING YOU EXPLICIT CONSENT TO STAB ME.
no subject
Because you are an undeniably strange little person, just saying.
You almost make stabbing sound like a friendly gesture.
