So here's some shite to keep in mind.

Dehydration's a fucking painful way to die. It feels like a hangover at first but it'll get worse, and your piss will turn brown - that means your kidneys are shutting down - you'll get insomnia, constipation, and eventually you'll die. In about three days. You can drink your own piss but not more than about three times: don't test this shite, all right?

You know what else is a symptom?

Crankiness.

Just find water, yeah?

And don't piss in the desert without checking to see if a giant scorpion is there first.

[There's a pause]

If you get hurt out there, say something, yeah? Someone'll get to you.

Fuck.

I have a fucking headache.

Drink some water.

[eiremagic]

I have a headache because people are idiots and I had to save Amory from singing soprano.

[And also she's dehydrated.]

[intheblanks]

[Do you know, he actually had a clue.]

Of course. Drink some water. And sit down before you fall over.

[eiremagic]

I will if you will.

[intheblanks]

Are you seriously blackmailing me out of making myself sick by threatening to make yourself sick?

[eiremagic]

You know me, Chase. I am more stubborn than you.

[intheblanks]

I know you a bit.

[Joke, joke.]

I took a break earlier, with Wilson. Another one not long ago. Do you need me to clock in and out, because I think we left the book back at the office.

You might want to include a guide on just how exactly someone checks for giant, underground scorpions.

In the dark.

[eiremagic]

Take a torch. Maybe piss a little closer to camp.

[fatespoken]

Can't see the bastard if it's underground.

[ But bickering is the last thing he needs. So he pauses, changing his tone entirely. ]

I'm not going to be much use here, but I still owe you one.

audio

[eiremagic]

You should go through too.

audio

[fatespoken]

I'm planning on it.

And you?

audio

[eiremagic]

I'm good at first aid and guns.

[Water being at a premium on this side of the universe doesn't mean there's none. Frankie's got a bottle with a little left, and he's got it in hand as he goes to track her down.]

[eiremagic]

[Eden's been traveling between the City and the Delorean for the past few days on a pretty regular basis, usually, though, when Frankie's asleep. Right now she is lying on a patch of sand]

[never_very_good]

[Without any preamble he just drops down to sit next to her. Not gracelessly, because he doesn't want to fling sand in her face, but casually. No agenda here.]

[eiremagic]

[She makes an annoyed little noise and turns, her face in his hip]

[never_very_good]

Hey.

[He trails a hand through her hair, rather absentmindedly.]

[eiremagic]

Hey, cara.

Did you bring me water?

[vicodincrutch]

I'm going to give you a solid 9 for the delivery of vital, if not obvious information.

[eiremagic]

You must be having a fucking ball around here.

[vicodincrutch]

Tons. I'm putting it on my resume for freelance work in the spirit of doctors without borders.

[eiremagic]

Why don't you go through?

[vicodincrutch]

There is too much to do here.

I can ask the same thing.

[eiremagic]

I'm waiting for everyone like you.
