[The video feed turns on to show what is probably a strange pair of people to be making a post together. It's also a really, really important post about an incredibly important subject.

Chris offers a small grin and a wave at the camera.]

Okay, so, I feel like I should say that I'm not announcing anything horrible about monsters this time. Just... Making that clear upfront.

[Is everyone relieved? Good.]

Instead, Cashmere and I are taking a super important poll.

[He glances toward Cashmere, waiting to see if she wants to continue from here.]

Very important. [ She agrees and pauses for a moment, fixing her hair in the camera. ]

I'm sure you’ve all noticed Chris and I have something special in common. So we need to know who else out there shares our special quality. Are you blonde?

[ Yes, she is serious. ]

We're here to make sure those of us who are blonde are having the most fun. If you're not having fun, we’ll think of a way to fix that.

[ She glances to Chris. Ideas?

Chris looks over at her in response, then fixes the video with a serious expression.]

Yeah. And if you are having fun, could you like... Tell us your secrets? Because that'd be pretty awesome.

[That covers the totally important stuff, he thinks. Any last remarks, Cashmere?]

Non-blondes need not reply. [ That should win some friends. ]

Go see him, then. He's polite.

[Not the most important thing about him, obviously, but it matters to Maketh.

She huffs, annoyance sharp at the memory.]

My own fault for trusting Aresko with security.

[And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what you get for delegating and not micromanaging everything yourself. A mistake that Maketh doesn't intend to repeat.]

Indeed. I'm a little surprised that nothing's been blown up or set on fire yet. Perhaps my standards are low.

I'll send him a message or something.

[Probably. Once he figures out what to say.

He gives a small grin at her irritation and the huffing.]

Those do seem like pretty low standards. Some guy was threatening to blow stuff up with fire before you got here actually, though I don't think he did it.

[Which is good, considering the situation was a bit more serious than Chris is representing, but still.]

I'm sure someone'll get around to it at some point, though.

[And technically he's pretty sure things have already been set on fire--RIP Arya's kitchen--but no one wants to talk about the wendigo thing.]

Thank you, Chris.

[One less thing to worry about.

Unfortunately, the feeling doesn't last. Oh maker why. Maketh's eye twitches slightly.]

That--that's wonderful. Who was this individual?

[She's really not a fan of recreational arson. Or any kind of arson, really. But tonight is a good night, and her mind doesn't immediately go to dying in a fire or the wendigos. So that's good.]

[Such faith, Maketh.

He shrugs at the question.]

I think it was the alcohol demon guy since I think that was how he was going to cause the explosion.

[He'd been distracted and hadn't paid all that much attention to the post, and only just recently found out there's someone called 'the alcohol demon' here, but putting the two together is simple enough.]

[You wouldn't disappoint her, would you, Chris? Would you?

Maketh rubs her forehead. The--alcohol demon? She's heard of him. Never met him in person.]

I see. I may have to speak with him.

[Him? Disappoint someone by behaving irresponsibly? Never.]

I don't think you have to; I mean, he didn't actually do anything, and considering the situation it wasn't... Like super ridiculous or anything.

[Oh, right. Context. That thing she's forgetting.]

You may be right. Things have a tendency to get--complicated, in this place.

Yeah. Yeah, no kidding.

[Understatement there.]
