We're immortal. It's literally impossible for you to be too old to learn.

[throughbamboo]

[a brief face]

Ehh, still ain't for me. Can't say I've cared 'bout fashion, not even when I was younger. Think what I wear in class is the closest I get to givin' a shit.

[ifyoulive]

[ waves a hand ]

You do you, chief. Can I come in already?

[throughbamboo]

Yeah, yeah. C'mon in.

[stepping aside for her]

[ifyoulive]

About time.

[ strolls in, looking only half as timid and out of place as she did the last time ]

[throughbamboo]

Ya distracted me with yer fashion talk.

[ifyoulive]

Ah~ of course. Guess I'll have to let that one slide.

[throughbamboo]

Ya better let it slide.

So what's this puzzle ya mentioned?

[ifyoulive]

[ pulls out a charred sim card ]

Was wondering if you could fix this.

[ it's not really a puzzle she just can't repair anything for shit ]

[throughbamboo]

[both eyebrows shoot up. He holds his hand out for it to look at it closer]

I could give it a shot. What happened to it?

[ifyoulive]

I may or may not have set fire to it by accident.

[throughbamboo]

By accident.

[ifyoulive]

It was inside a sealed lockbox.

[ this explains everything ]

[throughbamboo]

Mhm.

[that explains nothing]

[ifyoulive]

That needed opening.

[throughbamboo]

. . . that why ya set it on fire?

[ifyoulive]

Didn't know how else to open it.

[throughbamboo]

I coulda got it open for ya, y'know.

[ifyoulive]

You would have come with me to an abandoned building just to open a lockbox?

[throughbamboo]

[shrugs a shoulder]

Sure, if ya asked.

[ifyoulive]

[ oh ]

Oh.

[throughbamboo]

[his lips twitch]

Oh.

[ifyoulive]

Good to know for next time!

[throughbamboo]

Is there gonna be a next time?

[ifyoulive]

That's a question for the Showmaster, isn't it?
