[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

I don't understand why we can't just keep, Cobb. +

VOICE

[buildingreality]

Did you actually name him Cobb?

VOICE

[biggerdreames]

Yeah. The snow man's looking like he's going through quite a bit of pain. Angsty fellow, Cobb seemed appropriate.

You know, I don't know how you could stand working with him for more than one job.

...I couldn't tell you, really. That's definitely...weird.

[buildingreality]

If you knew my flatmates, it would make more sense.

[beats_zelos]

Maybe so. Still don't get why there would be a snowman in there in the first place...

I think it was Eames' way of convincing me to do winter-y things with him.

[nouniform]

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.

[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?

[buildingreality]

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?

video;

[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.

[hacksinundies]

[Well, that's a thought isn't it? A snowman in the fridge. Sounds like something a kid would do when the snow starts to go away.]

I think a better question would be, "how did it get in there?"

[buildingreality]

Easy. Eames.

[hacksinundies]

Is he afraid his friend will melt when the sun comes out?

[buildingreality]

It's possible. He might need new friends if he keeps it up, though.
