text 1/????

[controlledvariable]

[She wants to call Ahiru, but doesn't trust herself not to freak out and yell, so text is it.]

ahiru if that was a joke it's not funny, where are you?

[controlledvariable]

ahiru come on

[controlledvariable]

you know those yetis are dangerous you're smarter than this

[controlledvariable]

i can't teleport anymore what if something happens and i can't get to you in time

nearly done......

[controlledvariable]

please

[controlledvariable]

please tell me you're safe. i know you have every right to do whatever you want but i'm worried. the yetis are really dangerous and i don't want you to get hurt

ok done i'm sorry

[controlledvariable]

[And then she realizes that she is freaking out, that she's sent six texts in the space of thirty seconds and she should - probably stop, no matter how scared she is.

She has to send one last one, though:]

just come home safe. please.

beautiful, also this is a few hours later

[quackery]

steph we're fineeeee

we don't know if they're dangerous we heard conflicting things and anyways there are a lot of people coming with us

we'll definitely come home safe don't worry

and she spent those few hours on the verge of a panic attack gj duckling

[controlledvariable]

who's with you

[it's all she can trust herself to ask without freaking out again]

sorry steph!!

[quackery]

ummm

belle and her boyfriend, and kido and axel and oz and a couple of other people

she should be B(

[controlledvariable]

who else

[none of those names inspire confidence]

oops

[quackery]

maya and tempest i think is her name and some people i don't know well

why

[controlledvariable]

i wanted to know there's someone there that i can trust

if something goes wrong, stick with tempest

[quackery]

[That - bothers her a little, though remembering that Steph must be acting out of worry helps take most of the feeling away.]

i wouldn't have gone if there wasn't anybody i trusted going with us

[controlledvariable]

someone i trust to keep all of you safe against yetis

[and there was only one name on that list that made her feel better, even if she likes Belle]

[quackery]

[She considers a few answers to that, but in the end:]

do you trust my judgment

because if i thought there was a big chance we'd get hurt or worse i wouldn't have come, like i said

[controlledvariable]

[The answer is no, because she doesn't really trust anyone's judgement, but even frazzled as she is right now, she knows better than to say that.]

i just think you might be underestimating how dangerous it could get

[quackery]

i'm sorry for worrying you. next time i'll let you know further in advance

[controlledvariable]

[She's fucked up, hasn't she?]

i'd appreciate that, thanks.

be careful, ahiru

[quackery]

[no she's just being a brat sorry steph]

okay

see you in a few day or two

[controlledvariable]

okay

[quackery]

while we're talking about this

i'm going camping with collette for a week or so in january

heads up and all. you can tell saul if you want

[And she feels bad for lying, but - it's not altogether a lie, at least.]

[controlledvariable]

[if she's already screwed things up, she might as well keep at it and get some honesty.]

i've been "camping" with collette before

where are you really going?

[quackery]

i just told you what we're doing

[controlledvariable]

sure

[she can guess, anyway]

be careful of the giant spiders when you go
