VIDEO | 2/14

[glaciates]

[Good afternoon, Kimblee! Isaac looks very pleased when the video turns on. He's sitting outside with his army of baby icicles, but at least he's got a coat on today!]

Hey, happy Valentine's Day.

[explosivecombat]

[Well, will you look who it is.]

And to you as well - I trust everything is fine over there?

[glaciates]

Yeah, it is.

[.........]

I got some chocolates from that pink-haired girl and I figured I should ask, how much chocolate are you gonna want when you get back? I can pick some up once it goes on sale.

[explosivecombat]

[Hmmmm...]

Well, that depends on a few things, actually.

[glaciates]

Yeah? Like what?

[explosivecombat]

How much you're willing to spend, and how long you're going to spend trying to make me eat leaves afterwards.

[KIMBLEE.]

[glaciates]

[...this is a trick question, isn't it...]

Well, they're proportional, so... I guess I could get you a little chocolate so you won't have to eat as many leaves?

[DOES THAT WORK???]

[explosivecombat]

[Oh, you are no fun.]

Must we, with the leaves? It's a holiday, you know.

[glaciates]

Today's the holiday though. After that it's just a normal day. So why would I treat it differently?

[?????????]

[explosivecombat]

[Ah, here we go. He was wondering when something like this was going to happen.

He doesn't mind, per se; it's just something to be expected by now.]

Because it's still chocolate purchased in celebration of that particular holiday; it falls under the same category.

[glaciates]

...Oh, right, so since we can't spend the actual holiday together, it's basically pushing the celebration of the holiday back to a different day?

[That makes sense. Sorta?]

I guess I can hold off on the salads for a day.

[explosivecombat]

Excellent, I'm glad to hear it.

[Leaves, though.]

In that case, asking me how much I want is a dangerous prospect and you know it.

[glaciates]

Well, yeah. To be honest, I'm surprised you didn't just answer with "all"...

[explosivecombat]

I've been trying to refrain, but that answer is entirely acceptable.

[glaciates]

You know I'll do it. I'm a very literal man, Kimblee.

[explosivecombat]

Oh, believe me, I know.

[glaciates]

[YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH HIM...]

Yeah, well. I'll get you a lot of chocolate.

[YOU'RE GOING TO EAT LEAVES FOREVER]

[explosivecombat]

Consider it appreciated, Isaac.

[yaaaaaaaay]

How is everything going otherwise? I imagine Archer is giving you the usual amount of trouble.

[glaciates]

Well, there was an incident with the Bergmites I brought home.

[explosivecombat]

[...oh...dear, um.]

...What sort of incident are we talking about?

[glaciates]

He ate them. I was gone for ten minutes herding the other Bergmites and he ate them.

[.............WAIT HANG ON HE FORGOT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING]

They were chocolate! Chocolate-shaped Bergmites. I thought they were cute.

[explosivecombat]

[ISAAC THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION

I MEAN HIS FIRST PROBLEM WASN'T SO MUCH WITH ARCHER EATING LIVING THINGS AS IT WAS THE FACT THAT ARCHER APPARENTLY ATE SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE THREE FEET TALL AND WEIGH AS MUCH AS A GROWN MAN

WHICH LIKELY SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT KIMBLEE'S PRIORITIES BUT STILL]

...Isaac, please tell me you mean Bergmite-shaped chocolates, because what you just said really doesn't make anything any better.

[glaciates]

[ARCHER IS HORRIBLY OFFENDED SOMEWHERE IN THE DISTANCE]

Oh wait, yeah, that's--

[GODDAMMIT]

That's what I meant, yes, I just...

[WOW HOW AWKWARD]

[explosivecombat]

...Well, that was a bit rude of him, wasn't it. Did you just leave them unattended for too long in his line of vision, or...

[THE OFFENSE AIN'T GONNA GET BETTER ANYTIME SOON, ARCHER]

[glaciates]

[HE'S GOING TO PUNCH YOU BOTH]

Uh, yeah. Like I said, I was rounding up the other Bergmites - the uh, the non-chocolate ones - and when I came back they were gone.
