I'm pretty sure it's just a cold. Still, the timing...

[ Santa exhales a frustrated breath. ]

[unexpectedboner]

Ngh... Has she taken any medicine?

[jinglebros]

Aspirin, but I think she drank it down with some alcohol. Best choice, amirite.

How you doing back there?

[unexpectedboner]

[bad choices why]

...It's coming along pretty well. Just a bit more over here so it can properly look at your--uh, other tattoos.

[jinglebros]

Yeah, okay.

[ Pauses over that for a second. ]

...

Anyway, I think she's getting a complex. She kept saying she 'can't fail being useful' this round.

[unexpectedboner]

What? That doesn't even make sense, when hasn't she been useful?

[jinglebros]

Fucking right? She's focusing on the votes and nothing else.

[unexpectedboner]

What's even the point if it means she's too sick to enjoy it? You talked to her, right? I can try to talk to her.

[jinglebros]

I talked to her, but she didn't fucking listen. Can you try?

[ Feels uncomfortable asking for help. ]

[unexpectedboner]

I don't know that she'll listen to me more than you, but I'll see what I can do. Maybe we can get her to do something to slow down, at least...

[jinglebros]

I'm wondering if I'm giving her a complex by trying so hard. Maybe if I slow down too, it'll help her.

[ Santa feels gross suggesting that. ]

[unexpectedboner]

Huh... Maybe let someone else catch up, then? Or make sure you're friendly with whoever else is making points, so you can influence them without actually having them.

[jinglebros]

That risks people who are shit getting the votes, though, and that risks my death and hers.

[unexpectedboner]

We'll still have our own votes. Between the two of us, we just need to get three. Anything else is a bonus.

Just try it for a few days to see if it actually helps her calm down. By then we'll know who we're really up against, too.

[jinglebros]

You might have to make sure I take it easy. [ Uneasy about asking for a favour. ]I literally don't know how. Scold me or some shit if I go too hard.

[unexpectedboner]

[almost uneasy about being asked this favor...but okay]

Okay. Well, other than what you've already got going on back here, what else have you done so far?

[jinglebros]

Uhhh. Do you really want to know?

I've gone too hard this time. It's next time we have to worry about.

[unexpectedboner]

In that case, maybe you can just chill for the rest of the day. Have a smoke, chat and relax.

[jinglebros]

[ Bristles a bit. ]

Smoking kills, you know.

[ santa youre not a dare commercial ]

[unexpectedboner]

Have a vape? I haven't checked to see how well-stocked they are.

[jinglebros]

Vape...?

[ Confused face. ]

[unexpectedboner]

Vaporizer? It super-heats your herb so you can extract the good stuff without having to inhale all the bad stuff. There's other kinds, too, but either way, the point is to inhale water vapor and not tar. You've never tried one?

[jinglebros]

I've never tried any of that crap. Poor as fuck for most my life, remember?

[unexpectedboner]

Maybe you should've spent less on death traps and you would've had more for dab rigs. Anyway, the tech's really come a long way, so this is a good time to start getting into it. I can teach you, no problem.

[jinglebros]

Hey, we did fine once we started organizing the game. But by then pot wasn't exactly a priority.

...exactly how much of an expert are you in this?
