[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

[You humans you are weird weird weird. Excuse her while she puts her face possibly far too close to the Dreamberry for anyone's comfort.]

What is that?

A snowman. That isn't obvious? [bit weird, but whatever. She's seen staircases play paradoxical games with people's heads, and worked for crazy guys who think life is but a dream. This isn't the strangest thing that's happened to her.]

[Cultural sensitivity lady, learn it.]

Um, noooooooope? Why is it in your hi-house?

[buildingreality]

[nah, she's good. She'd have to learn social sensitivity and How to Play Nice with Others 101 first.]

Because my flatmate decided it would be a cute addition.

[Ruuuuuuuude.]

Are they an idiot?

[don't judge, man.]

No. He has to be intelligent - he's the best forger I've ever seen.

[serket8itch]

Forger? What's a forger?

[She doesn't want to look like an idiot here.]

[buildingreality]

Well...depending on what the job involves, he can become whomever he needs to.

[serket8itch]

What's that supposed to mean? Become whomever he needs to be? Like fakey fake stuff?

[buildingreality]

It's not really 'fakey fake stuff', as you put it; he becomes who he needs to be fully and completely for the duration of the job.

[serket8itch]

[She's just going to give you a blank look right here because that sounds fakey fake to her man.]

But he's not that whoever, it's still pretending. Like role playing.

[buildingreality]

It's his job.

[serket8itch]

What kind of job is that then?

[buildingreality]

[didn't they just...have this-]

...forging?

[serket8itch]

That still doesn't exactly explain anything. Do I look like I'd know what that's meant to be?

[buildingreality]

I thought I already explained it.
