[LOOK WHO'S OUT OF THE CLINIC AT LONG LAST]

Hey, so guys? I totally do not recommend eating wild berries. Tasty though they look, gentle on your stomach they are not. Oh, man. It was like being on the test team program all over again. Ship going backward sand forwards, up and down, side to si--

[He goes a little green and cups his mouth. When he speaks again he sounds strained.] Alright, okay, cool. So enough of that. That is officially all of that that's gonna happen.

So, yeah. No berries. Bad plan. Don't do it.

Got it. [And now she's got the date logged into her system and all is well with the world.]

So we've missed three birthdays and we're coming up on a fourth. And then Darin's just happened, apparently. So I guess we should do something pretty big.

[im_a_leg]

I mean I can cook something obviously. Not with red berries.

We totally need to build a drink robot.

[pidge_out]

We'd need like, ten cakes. All different kinds.

Huh. We could do that. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

[im_a_leg]

Can do, buddy!

And oh man, it's gonna be the coolest robot. It can fly around and ask people what they want to drink and then go and fetch it from the kitchen.

[pidge_out]

[Pidge grins.] I knew I could count on you.

Yes. Then I could stay focused on work when I need to.

[im_a_leg]

[A-aw, Pidge, you're filling him with warm fuzzies. <3]

Totally! We could have some kind of call word, so as long as you're in hearing range it shows up. Yeah?

[pidge_out]

[The duty of a bro, bro.]

Or we could link it up to our comms so that we can flag it from anywhere in the house. Maybe set a perimeter for its functionality.

[im_a_leg]

Dude, that's genius! We gotta set it up for the yard, too.

Wait wait but what if we don't have our comms on? Like we're in the shower or something?

[pidge_out]

Wha- Why would you want it to bring you something to drink while you're in the shower?

[im_a_leg]

Why not? All that water might make you thirsty! ... I've been spending too much time with Lance, huh?

Okay, okay, what about the bath tub?

[pidge_out]

Little bit.

Keep your comm nearby if you think you're gonna want something to drink, then.

[im_a_leg]

But what if it's a guest who doesn't have a comm?

[He just really wants to integrate voice technology too okay]

I TOLD HIM NOT TO TELL ANYONE!!!!

[pidge_out]

[Oh look, it's Darin. Look Darin, this is Pidge's sweetest, most innocent face.] Told who not to tell what?

[forgeabettertomorrow]

I told Shiro not to tell anyone about my birthday!!

[pidge_out]

Why would you think Shiro told me? For all you know, I could've read it in one of your diaries.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Because Shiro is the only person I told and of course he would tell you because yo--

--ooOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU DID WHAT?!?!

[pidge_out]

[She doesn't even react. She looks completely and entirely nonplussed.]

Yeah, I was trying to find your notes on the Ingress. It was a long time ago.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Oh...

Oh you just wanted my Ingress notes...?

You should have just asked. I would have gladly given you everything I had...

[Oh man. Oh man he may have just dodged a bullet there.]

[pidge_out]

[Did he, though? Did he?]

It was faster to just go through your stuff.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Concerned. This is his concerned face. Because Darin has put every random midnight thought into those journals.]

[He needs to find out how recently Pidge went through them.]

Okay so...while I applaud your initiative, my organizational skills are...well, lacking. Especially when it comes to stream of conscious note taking.

Did you...go through all of the journals...? Or just a few...? Ballpark it for me...?

[pidge_out]

[She has to think on that. It's been a while.]

Probably a dozen or so. Maybe a few more.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

A DOZEN?! WHAT, WERE YOU WRITING A BOOK REPORT OR SOMETHING?!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[DRAGS HANDS DOWN FACE.]

You know what? This is fine. It's fine. It's all just research stuff anyway.

I mean, it's not like there was anything personal in there that you don't already know.
