I had a look at nursery services for you. unexpectedly it's under agricultures purview, but i reckon you wee tykes thrive on fucking round in the mud anyway innit?

bathtimes are automated mists. you should check it out

o ok great
will I see you there
with your crossword puzzle
feeding pigeons

[dogbane]

yes. lay off the rock n roll, will you?

makes my wrinkles vibrate something awful and I've already got enuresis to worry about.

I need a favour, and I'll owe you one if you do it.

I am absolutely not agreeing cold, man.

[borndying]

I need you to wear this and deliver a bouquet.

( harry has the sign. it says HARRY'S PEOPLE. he has shoved it up against the comm device, effectively turning this into some kind of weird audio message from harry's people. )

[ At least Peter laughs right away. ]

What. No. I'm not even your people. If anything you are my people.

[as promised, here is the big fight!! han had to wait to get enough people in, but the more they got self righteous the more that he wanted to just pad the pool.

they're off! there's dirt covering a circle of an undisclosed location with two roombas ready to fight to the death. saw head moves in a circle, trying to find shoots first before a saw on its head gets activated. shoots first follows suit, trying to use its targeting systems (it doesn't have targeting systems) before shooting goo at it.

they circle around each other for a bit before you can see a boot appear to knock shoots first back in the ring just in time to shoot a laser right at the boot and you hear a - ]

SHOOT THE ROOMBA NOT MY FOOT ARGH

[thankfully it jumped out of the way. saw head turns around, sawing shoots first's right side off.

well, there you have it. SAW HEAD WINS. soon after, you're going to receive a text:]

YOU WON. THERE WILL BE A ROOMBA COMING TO YOUR DOOR AT 0000. DO NOT MAKE A SCENE. PICK UP YOUR WINNINGS.

text; backdated to just after the last jump because i'm so slow

[ Kate has been staring at her comm for a while now, trying to decide what to say. There wasn't much time between the incident and the jump and she was pretty out of it for much of that, but now she has no excuse for putting off getting in touch with Peter. She's not exactly eager to talk about what happened, but it's starting to get impolite. Time to bite the bullet. ]

Hey. [ Nailed it. ]

[adhesion]

hey Kate
how are you?

[alsohawkeye]

I'm okay. Alive. Things are a little blurry, but I definitely remember that being thanks to you.

[adhesion]

I wish I'd gotten there sooner
but don't worry about it, you would have done the same :)

Hey. Have you seen the network? I'm concerned about Harry.

voice.

[adhesion]

[ Ahh, jeeze. And he's too gunshy from this whole thing to even tell her the truth. Time to lie badly. ]

Hey, Darcy. Yeah, I see it. I don't know, he's definitely more-- Harryish than usual.

voice.

[50000volts]

[ Peter's bluff check is successful, though Darcy's got like a -5 penalty for being a little frantic, if the upward pitch of her voice is any indication. ]

I even made a joke about-- [ No, wait. Is Peter old enough for her to repeat that joke and not go to jail? Space jail? Shh. ] Soooomething really inappropriate, and that didn't even lighten him up. Is he going to be okay? Should someone go find him?

voice.

[adhesion]

He probably just needs some space. Which is convenient, we got a lot of it.

[ There's a waver in his voice. His joke is particularly humourless. It's hard to tell, immediately, if he's stressed or upset, but he's certainly playing it off like he's not. ]

[alsohawkeye]

Hey, so. Fingerprint comparison. Think you could rig me up an app for that?

text

[adhesion]

yyynnnmaybe
probably
are you talking like image comparison between the prints you collecting or redoing it with a capacitance scanner?

[alsohawkeye]

Both? First the one and then the other if there are potential matches that need re-checking?

I'm just doing it really old-school right now and I don't want to risk false positives.

[adhesion]

ok
first is easyish
I can probably literally make an app for that
second takes longer and involves me making eyes at the CMO
