[the video opens up not on Ariadne herself, but the inside of her fridge. Pointed at...a snowman. Not a big one, but a small one, perhaps a foot or so tall. Three small snowballs stacked on top of each other, with tiny Armani buttons for buttons and eyes, and a smile far too happy for the fate that probably awaits it

It's cute!

[buildingreality]

It's not bad. I think Arthur might have something to say about his buttons being used for it, though.

[nouniform]

Usually when ya buy somethin', it comes with spare buttons, right?

[buildingreality]

Somehow, I don't think they come with this many extra buttons.

[nouniform]

Well, that's probably true…!

[buildingreality]

I suppose he could just sew them back on, though.

[nouniform]

It'd be a shame to take 'em off the li'l guy.

[buildingreality]

What if he melts?

[nouniform]

If you put him outside, he'd be okay, right?

[buildingreality]

Until spring comes. Unless this weather continues into then.

[nouniform]

All lives come to an end eventually, right?

[buildingreality]

[look, you got her to smile.]

I should start planning the eulogy now.

[nouniform]

I guess there ain't a way to cremate the body, but I'll gladly light incense for him when the time comes!

[buildingreality]

I think he'd appreciate that. If he were sentient and capable of feeling.

[nouniform]

I'd like him to!

[buildingreality]

I'd tell more people, but Eames would enjoy that far too much.
