     Zam:

     Minute:

          It’s getting kind of late over there, right? Did you have a good day?

     Minute:

          You’ve still got three days left before you fly home so hopefully you can go see everything you wanted to.

     Bacon:

          Bro Zam Minute is so fucking whipped he set the clock in his room to match the timezone in Budapest

     Bacon:

          Like the actual clock not the digital one so he put in more than four seconds of effort and everything

     Bacon:

          I think if youre gone for too much longer hes gonna install a sundial

     Mapicc:

          Lets all think really hard about how the sun works and if you can set it to different time zones

     Minute:

          Bro has a masters degree in sundial

Minute:

           And you're gonna ruin my cool nonchalant branding.

     Minute:

          Actually wait no I’m allowed to miss my girlfriend dude.

     Bacon:

          Oh also before we even got inside the dumbest thing happened

     Mapicc:

          So theres these metal detectors you have to walk through which is whatever

     Mapicc:

          But zam had her prosthetic on so we were like hey thats like gonna set it off can she go around it

     Mapicc:

          Except idk how to say that in hungarian so I was just like uh bocsánat dude and then pointed at zams prosthetic

     Zam:

          I was also pointing at it ftr

     Zam:

          Ftr means for the record btw in case you didnt know

     Zam:

          But I wasnt gonna like take my arm off in the middle of a museum lobby like thats such a fucking pain

     Zam:

          Also what the fuck would I even be hiding in there like its my fucking arm hello?

     Mapicc:

               And then the prosthetic set off the metal detector which like no shit you can see that one of her arms has metal joints???

     Mapicc:

               But they still had her walk through it and then were like okay buster why is that metal made out of metal

     Zam:

               And then after I set it off they just looked at it for a second and were like whoah metal in there

     Zam:

               Which no shit

     Zam:

               And then they just let me through anyway so like what was the point exactly

     Zam:

     Minute:

     Mapicc:

     Mapicc:

               She’s been in the bathroom for like an hour but when I opened the door to check on her she was just lying on the floor like a little shrimp

     Zam:
