[The dark-haired man glaring into the camera has a very...disgruntled expression on his face, to say the least. There's a crinkle of that damned paper gown and his head disappears from the shot--he's holding his phone at arm's length--but he's back a second later, brandishing his little yellow tag at anyone who's currently watching the feed.]

One, no idea, and two, there isn't one.

Welcome to Abax, by the way. You'll be spending the rest of your life here with the rest of us miserable citizens. [Misery loves company, clearly. She sounds cheerful enough.]

i squealed a little bit.

[justhitjackpot]

Hey, I'm not exactly an optimist, lady, but you wanna lighten up? I have stuff to take care of at home. I've gotta feed my cat. Rotting here isn't in my schedule.

audio;; of course you did, bb. Of course you did.

[womanwhofights]

Hey, compared to where most of us came from, this is a considerable step up. This is me being optimistic.

Hate to break it to you, but you'd better burn that schedule of yours.

audio into forever shhh shhh leave me alone

[justhitjackpot]

That's good for you and all, but I've gotta get back to where I was before, bottom line!

You might've given up, but I've gotten out of worse scrapes than this. [no you haven't.] Fuck sitting around. I'm going back.

audio;; ALL THE THINGS.

[womanwhofights]

Mm-hmm.

Right, well. Be sure to leave the video feed on while you try. I need a good laugh to go with the popcorn.

VIDEO BECAUSE COME AT ME BRO.

[justhitjackpot]

Yeah?

[Look at that smug face.]

When I'm back at my place, all my stuff around me, and my fist having freshly pounded the face of whoever's behind this whole mess?

I'm gonna be the one laughing.

Video because Cousland TAKES THAT CHALLENGE.

[womanwhofights]

[Click. Have a very amused redhead grinning down at the screen.]

You think none of us have tried exactly that? Maker's breath, you're dense.

video because....BECAUSE. he's not losing. :V

[justhitjackpot]

[oh hey, she's kinda cute
It's kind of tough to look suave and cool when you're kinda wearing paper, but HEY. HE'S MAKING IT WORK. Sort of.]

It's one of my strong points. I'm too dumb to give up--that's how I get things done.

Video because HE IS TOTALLY GOING TO LOSE.

[womanwhofights]

That's the first time I can safely say I've heard someone claim stupidity as a positive thing.

"Stubborn" might be a better choice. Just for future reference.

Video because NO WAY.

[justhitjackpot]

Eh, same difference. [Shrug.] Either way, I'm not going to rest until I'm back home where I belong.

Video because YES WAY.

[womanwhofights]

Good luck with that. You'll need it.

If you do find a way out, be a good sort and chuck some sheep and/or cows back this way, would you? This canned stuff is horrible.

YEAH RIGHT. also, still video.

[justhitjackpot]

Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine. I'm already pretty lucky. I'd give this place a week at most.

...What, there's no meat here?

Video forever.

[womanwhofights]

I'd be willing to bet that won't go exactly as planned.

There's meat. It's just canned. [Cousland's slight grimace makes it clear she doesn't think much of canned food.]

and ever and ever.

[justhitjackpot]

Oh, really. What do you wanna bet?

Huh. That's not too bad. You don't like Spam? [TRAVIS, EW, SPAM ISN'T GOOD TO LIVE OF OF. But he seems nonchalant enough that he's...ready to...ew.]

Forever into the distance!

[womanwhofights]

What've you got? [Travis, you fail at this. :| How are you going to collect when you're gone?]

Spam? Haven't heard of it.

[justhitjackpot]

Nothing on me right now. How 'bout a favor? [He hasn't thought that far yet. Sssshhhh.]

It's this canned pork thing in a blue can. Actually, I think there's chicken in it too. Well, whatever--it's basically another kind of canned meat.
