[ abigail is at the bait shop, sitting behind the counter. beside her is a rack of fish themed valentine's and little pink stuffed fish. ]

I was unaware there were so many fish puns that related to Valentine's Day. So... Hook, Line and Tinker is having a sale. By sale... I mean sale. Everything must go. Please take these off my hands. This was a horrible mistake and I regret my life choices.

[ /stares at camera like jim halpert. boy, does she ever. she will probably give them away free if you buy a pack of gum. how are she and will in business still? well, she's actually a really good saleswoman when it comes down to it.

just not right now. when cutesy fish are making cutesy faces at her. ]

Unrelated to flirty flounders, someone asked me about... well, basically about this place and I realized I've been kind of willingly ignorant to anything that's going on around me. I've read the FAQ, but is there anything else I should know?

[ you'd think after three months in a basement she would want to know more, but nope. at least she does now. only took six months. shut up, she's dead. she had to deal with that for a while. ]

Also, small show of hands -- I hope it's small -- who else is dead in their worlds?

[ so casual. she gives the camera a brief, wry smile and cuts out. ]

[ oh. yeah, she doesn't believe that he's okay with that answer. ]

I'm fine, okay? I was just curious. And it's not that I don't want to talk about it with you, I just don't need to.

[ and she's lying, she doesn't want to talk about it with jayden because he's so sweet and normal. he doesn't deserve any of the shit that comes with baltimore people. ]

[immigrantpunk]

ok, fine

[He's sick of trying to beleaguer the point.]

[lurings]

If you want to talk about it we can.

[ it's the only concession she can make, but she's always said he can ask her questions. it's just that no one ever does. ]

[immigrantpunk]

no its cool

[He doesn't want to pressure her. That's being a dick boyfriend, ask anyone.]

[lurings]

Okay.

[ she's pretty sure they both just put in enough effort to claim they tried. but jayden probably really tried and she's just an asshole. ]

[immigrantpunk]

[lurings]

Yup. Die Harder is on tonight if you want to stay and watch it with me.
