Hank here. I probably don’t give a rat’s ass what you have to say. Leave me alone. How the hell do I get this damn thing to stop rec — [BEEP]

well I haven't ventured around etraya much but I did see a bounce castle near the kwik trip. maybe they can have fun there?

unless you want to let them run loose in the rec room at the apartments?

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

[Why there’s a bounce castle here on Etraya is another question entirely. What’s the lore there?]

You know what?? Let’s do the bounce castle. Be all adventurous

[If Sumo and his new rat friend destroy it, then... well, won’t the RoboCops come and fix it all up?]

gasp I never got a notif for this!

[ingestion]

( that's the spirit hank-

though she does think of one thing. )

hell yeah! our friends will have a great time.

just uh....don't drink before going okay?

No worries!! 💕 It happens

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

Haven’t been drinking much, to tell you the truth

Won’t drink before, is what I mean. Sorry about your party.

[ingestion]

it's fine, when should we meet up then?

and what does sumo like to eat or snack on by the way?

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

Whenever’s good for you. Probably sometime earlier in the day. Kind of a long walk. Wouldn’t want you to have to walk home in the dark

[That’s when the weirdos seem especially active. Like Vincent.]

Sumo’s not too picky about treats. Likes meat. Jerky, that sorta thing. Big on elk and turkey

And peanut butter

[Because Sumo is a dog of fine taste.]

Pumpkin. Zucchini

[Hank is a dog dad, okay. He doesn’t really expect Heather to get any of this for Sumo; he’s just kind of been in a weird caretaker mood ever since Connor got zapped away, or whatever.]

'like vincent' LMAO

[ingestion]

( unfortunately for them both, she very well knew weirdos like vincent.

she knew him after all. )

peanut butter?

( odd.....but she won't question it further. )

cool, mr. cheese just like seeds and dried fruit, but he can't or shouldn't eat anything too crazy. how about before another mission rolls in? aurora usually announces those ahead of time.

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

Yeah. Couple spoonfuls of peanut butter and Sumo will be your new best friend

[Probably less, even.]

Got it. I’m sure between the two of us we can keep them from eating something weird

[Although Sumo might be tempted to gnaw on the bounce house.

Hank doesn’t really want to say his schedule is wide open, but... well. Not like he has anything else to do here.]

Aurora do those missions often? December seemed pretty quiet.

[Quiet from the AI overlords, anyway.]

[ingestion]

( well that was good to know if she ever needed to win over the big fella. )

oh absolutely, we have to keep them safe.

well I'm not sure to be honest. I arrived in October and the last real mission I remember was everyone having to build race-cars. I guess they wanted to give us a 'holiday break'?

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

Holiday break, huh.

[Hank arrived on Etraya mad, and he’s especially mad now that the AI overlords saw it fit to take Connor, but...

He shouldn’t whine at Heather.]

Guess that’s reasonable. Now if only they’d give us some kinda rubric on what they’re looking for, maybe we’d be in business

Making racecars sounds weird. Sorry you had to deal with all that

[At least the whole train thing is something Hank can do. Really dig into. Mystery, and all that.]

[ingestion]

I kinda sat that one out but I get the vibe we're not suppose to. at least gorgug told me that.

( he is more than welcomed to share his thoughts on loosing connor, but anything more might out of her depth. )

I'm sure aurora kinda hints at what they want, based on the stories others have told me about past missions. I guess we'll find out when the next one comes in?

[bootyshortsforoldmen]

Makes sense. I’m sure you’re doing fine though. Representing your world and all.

[Unlike Hank.]

Gorgug seems like a good guy to have around.

[He kind of freaked Hank out with his know-how, but it was a truth he needed to hear about Etraya: that he needed to do missions.

That if he didn’t, maybe Hank would be sent home. Leaving Connor scared him.

And now...]

Yeah. Not really looking forward to playing Aurora’s games, but

What Gorgug said, yeah. We should do the missions I guess.

[ingestion]

well aside from the pressure of doing the missions we should at least try and make friends with those we can.

you know if sumo and mr. cheese get along, and you ever need a pet sitter...

( she might be roping herself into something she shouldn't, but here she is trying her best.

even if he did get drunk at her party and all. )
