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.

Because I'm not going to do either! I'll show you.
We could try leaving a sign up on the beach? Please only wash up during the spring?
That could work, right?

Amd. as adorable as that idea sounds about the sign, I don't think we're that lucky.
We'll see about saving a few squids though in the meantime.
Preferably without frostbite.

It's absolutely ridiculous.
To be fair I probably wouldn't either.
So sounds like we're going to have to go with the old elbow grease approach.

A flaming pickaxe really does sound like a great idea, doesn't it?
See you at the beach?
