So you can see why skaglick would be so insulting. I mean, their tongues get all-- yeah. Ew.

[devoutish]

Fiona said you thought they were cute.

[phaseshifter]

Fi-- yeah. They are! When they're not - you know, doing their. Business. Or chewing on people. They're ugly-cute!

I still wouldn't let one lick me, though.

[devoutish]

And here I thought she might have only been teasing you.

[They don't sound cute, Angel.]

[phaseshifter]

No, not at all! But I'm pretty sure my ideas of what's cute are kinda weird. I used to love this one line of robots - CL4P-TP units? They were like little boxes with twiggy little arms, running around on a single wheel. Cute! But they were pretty universally hated by other people, so Iunno. Everyone used to pick on me for liking them so much.

Uh, everyone being... Jack. And some vault hunters. But still!

[devoutish]

What was so hateful about them?

[phaseshifter]

Iunno! I thought they were funny little robots. With the dancing, and the beatboxing, and the silly voices, and...

[ Rhys is yelling in the background about how they suck. Loudly. It sounds like there might be some scuffling over the tablet because telling people how annoying claptraps are is SERIOUS! BUSINESS!! ]

[devoutish]

Is that Rhys there? Hello.

[headjacked]

-- never do ANYTHING right, and their voices sound like claws on chalkb-

[ That sure sounds like ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ]

Hey!! Hi, Alfie.

[devoutish]

You're both unharmed then, I see.

[phaseshifter]

--he won't be unharmed if he doesn't stop ganking my tablet!

I'm blaming you for this, Alfie. You've put - put the lust for banditry in him. For shame!

[devoutish]

And Claire, she must be in the next room wondering what you two are up to.

[phaseshifter]

I think she's used to us by now, honestly? We keep her content via strategic application of pancakes.

[devoutish]

Pancakes but not ice cream, surely.

[phaseshifter]

You have to fight Rhys for that first. Which is fine, but the crying is kinda demoralising.

[ these sounds are the sounds of someone dodging tablet-grabs. SHOCKING. ]

[devoutish]

Mm.

Listen, right, I need to ask - you've all heard about Watson?

[Not to ruin the mood, but.]

[phaseshifter]

Uh, what about him?

[ That would be a "no." ]

[devoutish]

[Welp.]

Yeah. He was locked out last night.

[phaseshifter]

Fu-- I mean - no, fuck. What even hap-- are you okay? Relatively speaking.

[devoutish]

Mm. Yeah, I'm well enough. I'll call Claire next; let her know.

[phaseshifter]

Okay. I - geez. I know you won't need to talk about it, but if you want to I'm always here. Okay?

[devoutish]

You're a sweet girl, Angel.

[But she is just a kid in his mind, so.

And now that that information's been imparted:]

Where are you getting all these supplies for pancakes?

[phaseshifter]

Downtown. You know the big store a little east of the way in? They do pre-mixed pancake mix, which is easier to drag around than individual ingredients, and we have extra bags to carry things in. Which means it lasts for weeks if we ration it out a little.

Oh, and the frying pan is Rhys'. We do bacon in it too, it's awesome.

[devoutish]

Watson mentioned that to me, yeah. You eat like kings.

[phaseshifter]

Iunno, in my experience kings eat a lot more pizza. And they're kinda stingy. We are all about the sharing! We really should try to cross paths again sometime so we can get you fed.
