So... what's this I'm hearing about pink snakes? It's become a bit disconcerting to turn my phone on anymore.

[That's not entirely true, he's more curious than concerned.]

[As evidenced by the fact he's recording this from being sprawled out on his couch. His arm's still up in a sling, but, hey. He's out of the hospital.]

Not to mention this talk of buzzing... You would think we had all suddenly become incapable of normal lives! Doesn't anyone just use this thing for chatting?

[There's a pause. And his expression sobers up considerably. Something's been bothering him...]

But. I suppose I should ask.

Are these pulses always disturbing? Has no one spontaneously recalled something cheerful?

I was going to reply to that honestly, and then I realized it sounded really sappy out of context and I'd never hear the end of it.

But yeah, I've remembered something cheerful. Just not very often.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

No, no no. Now I want to hear it.

Mm, one of the unlucky majority, then.

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

Fine, but I want it to go on record that this is under protest.

I remembered Monroe.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

Your protest is noted, now. Speak boy.

... wait, is that the good or the bad memory? Those sweaters...

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

Woof.

[Can you just hear the sarcasm?]

Very funny. The good memories, thanks, and he wasn't always wearing those sweaters.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

Now make with the sap.

[SNAP SNAP go his fingers.]

Oh? Does this mean you've seen him with them off?

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

[There's a long silence, as if he's debating what to say to that.]

...maybe.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

That means yes.

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

He does take them off sometimes, you know.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

Where you can see him do it, no less.

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

It's not as exciting as you're making it sound.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

So you're saying he's dull.

While shirtless.

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

I never said shirtless. I just said he takes his sweater off.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

That's.

Boring.

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

Hey, you were the one who said I wasn't allowed to just go up to him and ask if we could have sex now.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

Are you sleeping with him?

Because then, you sort of can.

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

No, I'm not.

But I'll remember that for the future.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

Good. Because you're really bad at this, you know.

[audio]

[detectivetroll]

Thanks for the reminder.

[audio]

[sassymaru]

You're welcome!

[Jazz hands!]
