[ Ariadne's network device is pointed out the window, where a green pig has settled into a fort made out of wood planking. As it records, a random passerby scoops up a red bird and throws it directly at the fort. She moves away from the window, pointing the camera at her face, before anyone can see what score he got the damage. ]In case anyone's

This is just ridiculous. You should see it from the air.

[She sounds amused.]

[oneminutemaze]

How big are the forts getting?

[ Pause. ]

And no one's tried to throw you, have they?

[azhdarchidae]

Some are pretty elaborate, but visibility's not what it could be, with the snow coming down.

Oh, I'd like to see someone try.

[oneminutemaze]

I guess getting closer might be a bad idea, huh?

[ She laughs. ]

I'm sure they wouldn't know what they were in for.

[azhdarchidae]

I expect so. Some of those...birds are going far wide of the targets.

Dude...ette, I'm like twelve feet tall. It'd be like if a five year old tried to pick you up.

[oneminutemaze]

There are some very boisterous five-year-olds. [ And she hadn't realized how large Janine is. Oops. ]

... Are you okay out in the snow?

[azhdarchidae]

Sticky-fingered, I'm sure.

It is way too cold. But I can manage once I've warmed up. [She's having some trouble and is too proud to say it.]

[oneminutemaze]

Almost definitely. They are five.

[ Hmm... ] You should stop by.

[azhdarchidae]

That would really mess up whatever this is I have in place of fur. [She's actually quite fuzzy, though it doesn't really show on the icons. Perils of using a PB...]

Stop by where?

[oneminutemaze]

You'd have to have a bath. [ She's teasing, though really, that would be quite an adventure. ]

My place. [ She wants to give her a scarf. ]

[azhdarchidae]

Maybe I'd get lucky and have a bunch of helpers with sponges. Feeding me anchovies. I'd be for it.

You know I can't fit through most doors, right?

[oneminutemaze]

[ Another laugh. ] If you're ever mobbed by five-year-olds with sticky fingers, I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, but we can figure something out.

[azhdarchidae]

I'll hold you to that.

Right... aaah, might as well. Where is this?

Bear in mind, I haven't gotten a chance to study a map.

[oneminutemaze]

Do you have any sponge holder preferences?

We're in one of the townhouses. [ Insert directions here because her mun is not actually sure where they are in relation to everything else. ]

I can stand outside and wave a scarf around, if that would help.

[azhdarchidae]

Any four or five reasonably attractive people stripped to the waist will do. I'm going for decadence, and part of that is image.

How wide's the street out there? I've got a bit of a wingspan. [Twenty feet or so, but it's good to have clearance.]

[oneminutemaze]

I have about that many male housemates. I'm sure I can con them into something.

I think you'll be okay. We can always blame it on the exploding birds if you break anything.
