[Good day Asgard. I hope it has been well, because if you're seeing this message, chances are it's not going to get better. Not if Jo's current state of really freaking pissed off spreads any. Which, really, she doesn't have a lot of reasons to be so angry. It's more of one thing happened, and from then on even the smallest things continued to worsen her mood, until she's just this little ball of 'I am going to kill everything'.

Perfect time to address the network, right?]

For one, I did not take off my freaking bracelet. So don't even say it. I'm not stupid. I know what happens. And I didn't lose it either, so don't even try with that-

[Jo shakes her head, pausing a moment because the movement doesn't help a whole hell of a lot with her gigantic headache. Ugh. First time going grey? I think so.]

Two - I'm going to assume that the Roadhouse wasn't robbed, and that Ash was dumb and did something equally dumb like offerred a lot of free stuff. Which, I'd like to clear up by saying, [Oh hey Glare of Death directed toward Ash.] that is never happening again.

So yeah, that free alcohol thing? Not actually a thing. You wanna come back you're gonna pay for it, if I even manage to restock this place... [She takes a moment to sigh and massage the bridge of her nose. Ugh. Of all the things to worry about, why does it have to be this.]

Nothing big happened while I was gone, right? No 'off to fight the giants' or huge flying dragons dropping death and destruction on the city? [That should have been titled a 'three', but Jo doesn't really care. She's absolute exhausted, still trying to regain her color and feeling and just. Everything she never wanted to lose in the first place. There's also something else there, something slightly haunting - a loss of something else she didn't think she'd have to worry about, but she's not about to address the network with it. Not now.

She's got herself under a little more control than that.]

Guess that's that. [And off goes the feed.]

What the hell is going on? Where is everyone? [This is where the real exhaustion comes in. The exhaustion, and the panic, because she checked the bracelet when she woke up and the fact that these two names were the only ones she found...yeah, panic is definitely the right word.] You are here, right? The bracelet isn't lying to me?

[Because she can't really deal with them being gone too. Gone, or grey, or whatever. She needs to see them and it needs to be soon. She's already desperately grasping at straws at this point, with the loss of what feels like everyone...well. It's not like any of them need help when it comes to losing their mind in a place like this.]

The Roadhouse is spotless. Please tell me you weren't the one who cleaned it.

If you are grey I swear to God I will go and find you in the masses of creepy grey people and punch you in the face. Please tell me you're here.

If you actually work, it'll be your choice. But if you just kind of fuck around, it'll be mine.

[mullets]

Damn, girl. You run a hard bargain. Tell you what, a full day of work, then we'll call it even. [ Ash, no. ]

video;

[swedge]

[ She laughs. ]

How about a week?

video;

[mullets]

Alright, alright. You win. It'll be a week. Minus Saturday.

video;

[swedge]

[ She holds up her hands, seven fingers. ]

One week. Seven days. Doesn't have to be all in one go, but I get seven days of work out of you and we'll call it even.

video;

[mullets]

Aw, man.

[ gdi jo ]

Alright, alright. Seven it is. Seven. Throughout the course of a whole year.

[swedge]

How about month.

[ that's not a question. ]

video;

[mullets]

How about two months. Just for good measure.

video;

[swedge]

One week. One month. You want two months and I'm gonna require two weeks of work.

Re: video;

[mullets]

[ He stays silent for a long stretch of time, clearly contemplating this incredibly tough bargain. ]

Alright. How's this? One week, one month, but I still get to get as drunk as my little heart desires on the job. Still no hangover when you're dead, Jo, and cracking all those beer cans against your head is entertaining to the customers.

[swedge]

[ incredibly. ]

Only if you can still do your work. If I'm not happy with it, I'll extended your punishment.

video;

[mullets]

Aw, hell, Jo. Who do you think you're talking to? Of course I'm gonna be able to do my work. A few beers ain't gonna slow me down.

video;

[swedge]

You did not specify a few beers, so as long as we're clear on that...

I'm fine with it.

video;

[mullets]

A few, a few dozen, who's gonna be counting?

video;

[swedge]

I will.

video;

[mullets]

Whoa, girl. You better keep to your own business. How am I gonna know if you're being honest? You might miscount on purpose just to frame me.

video;

[swedge]

You do realize you're the one that's paying me back, right?

video;

[mullets]

Man, one of these days? I'm just gonna quit. Right out of nowhere, I'm gonna jet outta here. Then who's gonna pay you back? Who's gonna sit around doin' nothing and making smart comments?

video;

[swedge]

I'm sure I can find someone. The real question is where you're gonna get your free alcohol.

Re: video;

[mullets]

C'mon, Jo. I'm a friend of--[ He looks like he's trying to figure out how long it's been since he first got kicked out of MIT and came to the Roadhouse, but he can't even remember when that happened. ] A long time, a'ight? You've gotta spot old friends a few beers. It don't matter what they've done.

video;

[swedge]

You're the one talking about leaving me, Ash. Don't 'c'cmon jo' me.

video;

[mullets]

You'd miss me.

video;

[swedge]

You'd like to think so, wouldn't you.

video;

[mullets]

Nah, nah, see--I know that.

video;

[swedge]

Do you though? Do you really?

[ okay now they're just being ridiculous ]
