--don't think candy hearts are going to end up in the vents too, but okay.

[ Oh look, it's an accidental audio post. Blonde's voice sounds odd, echoing around. ]

Fuck, the sand is already back.

[ Now a loud sound; someone's vacuuming. This continues for a bit before it stops. Then there are a few sounds of exertions, followed by swearing. ]

God dammit-- Saya! You still out there? I fucking told you I was going to get stuck!

It doesn't hurt, but I'm not moving.

[ Yet. ]

[synanthrope]

[She pulls harder]

Am I going to have to butter you up?

[blonderazorshiv]

Is someone gonna lick it off afterwards?

Shit-- get the vacuum hose at first, fuck.

[synanthrope]

I'm sure I can find a volunteer.

[She tugs the hose and it takes it a couple of tugs before it gets out]

[blonderazorshiv]

[ Oof. ]

All right, try now.

[synanthrope]

[A tug baaaaack]

[blonderazorshiv]

[ He's moving! Slowly... ]

[synanthrope]

[And she keeps tugging, moving down the rungs on the ladder]

[blonderazorshiv]

All right, all right--

[ He can move now. He'd rather not have her drag her out and drop him onto the ground. ]

Thanks.

[synanthrope]

[She stops tugging but she's still looking]

Do you need me to take your place?

[blonderazorshiv]

You probably wouldn't get stuck.

[synanthrope]

Get out.

[The sound of her heels clicking down the ladder]

[blonderazorshiv]

Yes ma'am.

[ Once it sounds like she's down and away, he takes a deep breath and moves out. ]

[synanthrope]

[Once he's down she looks him over]

Are you claustrophobic?

[blonderazorshiv]

I don't like being stuck.

[ Yes. Yes he is. ]

[synanthrope]

You are.

[She heads up the ladder]

[blonderazorshiv]

[ There's a bit of a grumble from below, and Blonde pulls out a toothpick. ]

[synanthrope]

[She goes in and the vacuum goes on, and about ten minutes later she comes down, frowning slightly]

[blonderazorshiv]

[ Uh-oh. ] What?

[synanthrope]

It's potentially a good thing you weren't in there.

[blonderazorshiv]

How so? [ The toothpick rolls in his mouth. ]

[synanthrope]

The section of vent you were in crumbled to sand.

[blonderazorshiv]

... It turned into sand?

[synanthrope]

Or the leak was above it, and it simply wore away enough at the juncture.

[blonderazorshiv]

[ Suspicious frown up at the vents. He doesn't like you, vents. ] Maybe.
