I promise I'm not trying to make it a competition or anything, but - yeah.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

No, I get you. I'm kinda the one that brought it up anyway.

...tried telling the parents, and they were like, "is that what the kids say nowadays?"

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Is it bad that's somehow better than what I imagined would happen if I told anyone?

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Nah. It was exactly like talking to newbies to the boat. No asylum threats at least.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

That part's good... Still frustrating, though.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Yeah, it doesn't help with the whole "don't know how to talk to normies" thing.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Yeah. Ugh.

[makes a face]

It'd be nice if someday, all of this felt like it happened a really long time ago.

One day you're gonna be all old and grey, like, "kids these days don't know what it was like! We used to get maimed 10 times a day, going uphill both ways in the snow."

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

[after a second]

We, Aster.

Re: day 254

If I'm ever talking about "kids these days," you gotta assume I've been replaced by a pod person. Even if I am all grey. Greyer.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Okay, noted, but still.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

One day, we are gonna be all old and grey and our grandkids are super not gonna believe us about the weird shit we got up to. Like becoming a disco ball for party crabs.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

You gotta send me the video so I can prove it to them.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Oh, yeah.

[ takes out phone right now to send it ]

Forgot I hadn't.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Thanks. I'll treasure it forever.

[joking]

Re: day 254

[audacity]

You'd better. We risked out lives for this.

Re: day 254

[snorts]

The most dangerous mission we've ever undergone.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

Okay but it was pretty dangerous, actually.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

It ended up okay so I'm choosing not to think about the possibility of crab death.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

That's fair.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Let's not have a crab repeat, though.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

No argument there.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

Appreciated.

Re: day 254

[audacity]

There are so many new and different stupid decisions we can make.

Re: day 254

[heartlands]

[snorts]

What, did you have one in mind already?
