Eighth Clue - [Audio]

[huragokwhistler]

[Who's finally checking in on the network? Rookie is! At least he sounds pretty calm when he pipes up.]

Okay, so.

The walls are breathing. And I'm pretty sure I saw some guy riding a unicorn about an hour ago.

How are the rest of you?

[He fights aliens and one of his friends is a dragon. Seeing Neil Patrick Harris on a Unicorn isn't all that

Oh christ not you too.

[ The words sound like bitching, but deeply buried underneath is a layer of concern.

Very deeply buried.

...you'd have to dig really hard to find it. ]

[Dude, he's high and your tone is a bunch of particles that he can physically sift through. He can literally see the concern.

His response is grinning. So much grinning.]

O'Brien, you missed the guy on the unicorn, it was kind of amazing. Even if it wasn't real.

Besides, this'll wear off eventually anyway.

[sniperbitch]

You are not even the least bit concerned about this, are you.

[huragokwhistler]

That's what everybody else is for, O'Brien. And Yevgenny said everything is gonna be okay and I believe him.

[sniperbitch]

Who the crap is Yevgenny-- okay if he's also a dude that you're seeing right now, that happens to be riding a unicorn? Protip: he ain't real and you probably shouldn't make decisions based on his advice.

[huragokwhistler]

... Why the hell would Yevgenny be riding a unicorn? [My God man, are you high?]

He was this guy I knew, waaaaay back. Guy saved my ass; put him in the armor and he would have been a Spartan, no lie. And I know he's not really here, O'Brien.

[At least he isn't talking about Markers anymore. Now he makes sense.]

video

[sniperbitch]

What, someone in your squad?

video

[huragokwhistler]

Nah. Just this Helljumper I met once. From my first drop. New Jerusalem. Long story, and I... am so not sober enough to explain it and it is such a downer.

[Not that he will explain it when he is sober. D'oh!]

video

[sniperbitch]

Mmmmmmmkay.

Well uh. You're alright, right? You're not like, going to start yelling about spiders on the walls. Because I am not coming over there to sit on you and hold you down.

[ ...except yes he would, except IT WOULDN'T WORK because O'Brien weighs all of 90 pounds. ]

video

[huragokwhistler]

Pretty sure I won't start yelling about spiders. If I don't start thinking about spiders.

... Unless you just want to come hold me down. Me and the doorknob could come up with some reason, I'm sure.

[Screw his brain-mouth filter. At least he's not thinking about the fact that he outweighs O'Brien and the only way he'd be able to hold him down is if Rookie wanted him too.]

video

[sniperbitch]

Okay, don't think about spiders.

...goddammit, you're going to think about them because I said it.

[ NOW IT'S HIS RESPONSIBILITY. ]

video

[huragokwhistler]

... We really should have just stayed off the topic of spiders. [YES, YES HE IS.]

Have I ever told you I hate bugs? Because I really hate them.

[I NEED TO GO FIND A HAMMER BEFORE THEY CRAWL OUT OF THE WALLS, K?]

video

[sniperbitch]

--aw shit.

Okay. Uh. Stay right there. Think about unicorns and/or hot chicks. I'll be there in just a sec. Don't go anything crazy. If you feel the need to do crazy things, don't.

video

[huragokwhistler]

[It would be easier to find a hammer if the doorknob would let him leave, really. He's just going to... drag his bed out from the wall and sit in the middle of it.]

Unicorns and hot chicks. Right. Not gonna do anything crazy.

[Crazier than normal, anyway?]

video

[sniperbitch]

Goddammit I'm going to have to break in aren't I alright I'll be right there. I'll. Find an open window or something.

video

[huragokwhistler]

I appreciate that you'd break into my room for me, but... The door's open, you know.

[It's easier than having a Spartan destroy it trying to get in. You know, the doorknob just... really wants him to stay.]
