[walkabout] we gotta get out of this place

[wholeheaded]

Is anyone else...I dunno...really really kind of fed up with snow and cold and all that? And getting shadowed by weird folks in sunglasses and--

[ there's a little pause and some background mental chatter as Ambrose talks through things to himself. ]

Oh, hang on, just had a thought. A brainstorm. The folks-in-black investigating weird things...what if they had other weird things to investigate besides shapeshifters? Can we maybe go...somewhere else and do weird things to draw them away? So the folks up here can snowboard in peace and we can maybe skeedaddle to somewhere warm before we get yanked back to liminal.

...yeah, I'm getting a little ambitious. I've spent too much time in the hotel watching these three stupid British guys* do these races all over the place.

That long chase idea sounds great, I really don't care where we ed up so long as there's at least 80% less snow.

(Nice :D )

Should be at least 50% less once we get them off the mountain! That should be easy enough! Just need to find a good yeti costume that fits someone who can skii reeeeally well and we can lead them all the way down! And if we know someone who can drive, we can even do relay race style things! A hitch hiking yeti sounds perfect for the sort of thing that gets talked about in message boards!

...I love it. And I can drive, in fact I think I've been learning things from those stupid British guys.

Costume, costume...is anyone here good at making clothes from liminal stuff? I can just change my own, but I know other folks can manage it with other people.

[shiromadoushi]

Mm... I can't do anything with liminal, but I saw some stuff in the shops that I could make into a costume! It's been a while since I've made LARP outfits, but once you learn, you never forget how!

[wholeheaded]

Fantastic. [ a tiny pause. ] What's a larp outfit?

[shiromadoushi]

A LARP outfit is a costume for a Live Action Role Play! Like cosplay, but made so you can move around more easily and actually have proper mock battles and stuff!

[ gosh and wow, Ambrose is going to cross-reference all of that with the random pop culture tidbits he's absorbed in his Travels and decide that it Makes Sense. ]

Right, thanks, I'm old and not from Earth so a lot of stuff goes right over my head. Sounds like a useful skill.

[shiromadoushi]

Don't worry about it! A lot of people who aren't real big into games don't know what it is either.

..This'll be the first time it'll be useful, more than just something fun to do, though...

[[and he sounds almost giddy at the idea]]

[wholeheaded]

Well, that's great! Just goes to show every skill is useful.
