(The video feed opens up to Dirk squatting on the shoreline next to the Salt Lake. Behind him, the lake is shimmering with a brilliant pink light beneath the moonlight. Dirk's so still and pale that he looks like a statue. At least he does until he shifts back onto his heels. He's thoroughly drenched, only wearing a pair of sweatpants, some of his hair already frozen into peaks. By some miracle (or sheer force of will) he's not shivering.

Probably because he's beyond cold at this point. He's totally vibing with the bite.)


As a pro tip, taking a dip in the Salt Lake is good for the mind.

(...This was not an intentional discovery, but you would never know by how calmly he's speaking. His teeth aren't even chattering. He stands up. He places his hands on his hips. Dirk stares up at the moon, exhaling slowly, his breath forming a bit of fog in the air.)

Ironically, this helps with lockjoint too. (He raises his hands and turns them over as proof that he wasn't suffering from lockjoint due to the conditions. Granted, if he kept standing around in the cold like a jackass and the saltwater dried off...Hm. He curls his hands into fists.)

Just thought this would be an appreciated service announcement. I'm gonna go hit up Achelliac. See ya'll on the flip side.

[ A COMPLETELY unconcerned shrug. Jack's window doodle is turning into a unicorn. ]

Cold doesn't bother me. You sure you're not five? I feel like I've seen little kids walking to school with that thing on a backpack.

But, thank you, man, that means a lot. I work really hard on this mysterious aura. It's nice to get a little appreciation.

[ He has no idea what a twink is. ]

[ Mmmmm Jack knows the feeling and we are just, we're not thinking about that! Right now! It's fine it's cool he's cool, we're still grinning like that's a normal thing to feel sad about. ]

Well, I'm not many dudes, so consider me bent and re-straightened about your well-being. Being ripped isn't going to save you from hypothermia.
