nothing like a balmy 80 degrees to make you miss the arctic circle

We might have to take the bus!

We might have to call in sick!

[skald]

What if there's no shade at the bus stop and we get heat stroke while we're waiting for it?? Then we'll be ACTUALLY sick!

[frisyr]

We'll just have to freeze a bottle of water every night, and take it with us.

[skald]

Better make it two. You can keep one in an insulated bag so it's still cold on your way home.

[frisyr]

Good idea, it'll be even hotter in the afternoon! I'll melt... I might have to cut my hair...

[skald]

What?? You can't cut your hair! You love your hair!

[Emil she's known you for like a month and a half and she is already aware of this.]

At worst, maybe tie it back?

[frisyr]

You're right, I could never cut my hair.

Thanks Tuuri, I was really losing it for a second there.

[skald]

Jeez! Don't say things like that! I was worried! I know it's hot but that's no excuse to lose your head!

[frisyr]

I wouldn't have cut off my head! But you're right, I have a prime account and I'm buying this hand-held air conditioner, do you want one? It's $25

[skald]

Wow, only 25? That's great! That should make things much easier! Who knew it would be that easy?

[frisyr]

I mean, it's handheld? It's probably not that great, but... we have to survive somehow!

[skald]

It's got to be better than nothing! Go for it, I'll venmo you the money.

Ooh it's not same-day delivery, is it? That would be even better, then we could test it out to see how many of them we'll need.

[frisyr]

No, that's an extra

$17??

Ridiculous

It'll be here in two days though!

[skald]

Ugh, never mind, that's ridiculous. We can survive for two days. That's when it'll be REALLY bad anyway.

[frisyr]

Yeah, 31... I'll melt into the bus seat!

Who will scrape us off the sidewalk?

[skald]

I'm going to text my boss and let him know that he'll have to come find us if I don't make it into work on Friday. You should have a buddy, too!

[frisyr]

But you're my buddy?

[skald]

But what if I have to work earlier than you? I wouldn't be able to check in on you until after I finish my shift, and by then it might be too late! You need a backup!

[frisyr]

[ Oh no but his roommate always gets up ass-early to go to swim practice and none of his other friends are remotely responsible adults and ]

Ok.

Don't worry about me!! I'll figure it out!

It'll be fine!

Who's your boss??

[skald]

Alright!

[OBLIVIOUS]

Remember the guy from the scavenger hunt? Goronyan, not the really buff one.

[frisyr]

Oh yeah.

Wait, his full name is Goronyan?

Does he prefer to be called that?

[skald]

He probably wouldn't mind! But his name is Majima.

[frisyr]

Wait, really? Oops.

Guess I should have asked!

Well, I still have his number so... I can make sure to ask if you got to work and if not,
maybe he can send a rescue mission.

[skald]

He'd probably check in on you too, he's a nice guy. I trust him to be part of our EMERGENCY NORDIC SUMMER ALERT SYSTEM.

[frisyr]

That's true

and he punches ice! So I think maybe he wouldn't mind if we were melting everywhere.
