[CW: Discussion of cancer]

[Guess what has two thumbs and is awake, Barge? And guess what’s also reasonably unperturbed by falling into a Barge coma? THIS GUY.]

So in case some of you idiots didn’t know, it’s October, which means in addition to pumpkin spice lattes and slutty Halloween costumes sold on every corner, it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. [Archer holds up a little pink ribbon; there’s another one pinned to the lapel of his suit.] Nobody should have to go through this disease, because except for the medical marijuana it freaking sucks. So show some support, guys, wear a ribbon. And if you haven’t gotten checked lately, run through the self-exam or hit up the doctors in the infirmary. I’m sure they’d be happy to help. [It says something about how serious he is that he doesn’t make any jokes about this. Not even a crack about mammograms.]

And speaking of slutty Halloween costumes, who’s throwing the party? Is it BYOB?

[Private; Rogue]
Uh, pub?

Pub.

I like to say what I think.

Well, yes, I'm relatively informed about various local, American, human tradition. I'm raised in that culture.

I just--

[ Deep breath ]

I'm still not invited into the reindeer games back home, as it were.

....Wow. Jesus, can you shut up for two seconds? I can fucking watch it on my own, dipshit.

Holy fuck you look like hell in that. Did you seriously make this? You fucking tool.

[ ...all right. She'll buy it. ]

Then we should go to the CTS sometime.

Have you tried it yet?

Well, Rudolph, I think you have friends here.

Sorry, we can't meet in the pub.

Well excuse me for explaining the backstory and nuances, asshole!

Are you seriously telling me you wouldn't do the exact same thing? Or fail trying? I don't think you got it, I'm starting it again.

I have fucking eyes and ears, I can watch it for myself! It's the most shallow piece of crap cancer movie I've ever seen!

Well, yes, I know-- [ He sounds increasingly awkward, now, and he's glad she can't see him fidget. He hate feeling stupid, and the lack of a solid answer to this hypothetical has him nervous for the silliest of reasons. ] I'm not a homebody or anything. I just... don't know what I'd do with a Halloween party or -- any other party, really. Edward mostly planned Chris's, and... yeah.

I don't know. What do yo do at a Halloween party?

Holy shit, are you that stupid? I went on a rampage to find the piece of shit mob boss whose counterfeit chemo drugs killed my friend! AND I STARTED CHEMO HALFWAY THROUGH THE RAMPAGE.

Now shut up and watch again because obviously none of it sunk in!
