text - UN: IceCream (CW mention of drowning risks)

[threelayers]

[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.

Is there a name for this particular cockroach?
For future reference

[threelayers]

Roman Torchwick
Trust me, if he shows up he'll announce himself to the network
That man never did know how to be subtle.

When he wasn't on a job, heh.

[siriusly]

Still good to know
Just in case

[threelayers]

Awwww, you thinking of going all hero type on him?
Don't worry. I think I can keep old Roman in line if he shows up.

[siriusly]

Thats stupid
There's no garantee you would even be around or in a state to do that
So its better more people are in the loop just in case

[threelayers]

Well, I have no plans of leaving this place.
So let's just leave the topic at that, because trust me there's nothing waiting for me.
Not even him.

[siriusly]

OK...
sorry
I think

[threelayers]

Nothing to apologize for.
You weren't the one that got him killed, and I've forgiven her.
But it does mean I'm sticking around best I can.

Have to make this place as decent as I can in case the folks I care show.

[ever find yourself in a text conversation that is a few miles over your head but you can't just say gtg ttyl because you're polite and trying to understand?? Manabu seems magnetized to them, apparently.]

OK well i might not get it all but i get that last part

[threelayers]

[It's a gift. Still, she wasn't mad at him. The pain was just old at this point, hard to avoid picking the scab.]

Well alright then. There we go.
You and I can help out on that, but I'm kind of tired for the moment.
Let's chat about improving stuff next time?

[siriusly]

OK sure
Talk to you later
