Raise your hand if you think it's unfair for Wonderland to yank you back in mid-event.

[ the video is framed far enough away that you can actually see ray raise his hand to his own question. vigorously. think back to that kid in your class who had to hold up their raised hand with their other arm. were you that kid? yeah, bet you were.

ray grins and shrugs. ]

I guess Wonderland doesn't really do fair, huh? Either way, I'm back! What'd I miss?

[ ;lasdjkf why is the seat moving FORWARD WHY IS THIS RAY'S LIFE ]

OK I'm starting to feel like you two are insinuating that there are vampires in Wonderland.

[ oh god his knees are going to poke his eyes out the car is trying to eat him at least sarah convinced him to try yoga but also wow this is not like yoga at all ]

[boilover]

Vampires do exist in...

[Mick stops as he looks at Ray, being slowly swallowed by his own seat, then looks at Leonard in disbelief.

God. He can't even sit right!]

What are you doing?

[catchacold]

Should I have stashed him in the trunk?

[He's not even sure if he's joking. It may have been safer for Ray, had he done that.]

[shrinkage]

I was trying to make more room!

[ figures the genius with an amount of phds determined by whether you open the box and measure them can't figure out a space car huh

but he won't give up, voice at once muffled and also desperate: ]

If vampires exist in Wonderland and you were bitten by one, why are we working with them, again?

[boilover]

[Mick would help him but he has to keep both hands on the wheel or he'll get another 'both hands on the wheel, Mick' lecture and he's not really in the mood.

Also he doesn't wanna.]

I dunno. Cause Snart is into it? [Mick isn't sure either. He's kinda pissy himself over it. He didn't like this vampire guy.]

[catchacold]

[Leonard could help him, but

he doesn't really want to.

Instead he helpfully leans his own seat back a little and shrugs.]

That's right. I love a man who bites. [Well.] He was out of it at the time, didn't mean to bite me.

[shrinkage]

[ ray grunts, partially in disbelief and partially in an effort to maybe intimidate this car to behave???? ]

You should've told me, I would've borrowed one of Sarah's crosses...

[boilover]

Sara doesn't have -- wait. [Look, he just started hearing the other Sarah being used, it still throws him off.] The Sarah with the weird h.

[Stupid, weird silent letters.]

If he bites you again, I'm setting him on fire. Fair warning.

[catchacold]

Mick has an issue with silent letters. [But at least he doesn't have any issue sitting in a chair. Leonard watches Ray with amusement and, yes, that issue with the silent letters may explain why Leonard pronounces Mick's name as if it has at least two syllables.

He glances at him, flashing a brief smile.]

Thanks, dear. Appreciate your support.

[shrinkage]

[ ray can't leave it be-- ]

Well, I mean. Either the "C" or the "K" in his name's silent...

[ so that's just dumb obviously ]

[boilover]

You saying my name is being sneaky?

[Ray. For real? Bro. They just talked about this.]

Neither are silent, you're just saying it wrong.

[catchacold]

Raymond.

[It's said as a warning and obviously it's ignored.]

Relax, Mick. [See? He's saying it right.

Ridiculously and originally born out of the desire to just end the damn discussion over letters being sneaky, but still. Clearly right.]

[shrinkage]

Sorry! [ it sounds more like slingblade than snart but ray still makes the effort: ] Mick.

[boilover]

[Mick grunts in appreciation.

See. Look. His name has no silent letters, just idiots who can't say it.]

Do you know what word I hate? [Yes, he's still on this.] Gnome. What the fuck is with the G?

[catchacold]

Not originally an English word, Mick. In other languages, they pronounce the G.

[Yes, this is an old, old argument. The very origin of this silent letter debate.]

I told you, English pronunciation makes no sense.

[shrinkage]

[ ray peeks out over his own leg, eager to participate-- ]

I like pronouncing the stuff you're not supposed to. Kuh-nife. Kuh-nig-hut. Guh-nat. Wuh-rite.

[ and on. and on. and on... ]

[boilover]

Silent letters are a commie plot.

[That's what his dad always told him... his dad was not very bright. At all. Also he just had to be stubborn because Leonard was always right.]

If you pronounce the stuff you ain't supposed to, how do you pronounce Leonard? It's got a weird o for no reason. Leo-nard. Huh. Like Leonardo.

[catchacold]

We talked about that before. Yeah, like Leonardo, like the turtle.

[Also like the great renaissance mind, but Leonard will take the teenage mutant ninja turtle, he knows that Mick has more positive attachment to that then some weird artist he barely remembers hearing about.]

[shrinkage]

Bom-buh. Kuh-nuckle. Mort-gage.

[ ...yeah. ]

Ra-yee-mon-dee.

[ yeeep ]

[boilover]

You know when you say certain words a lot, they stop making sense. Like if you say bowl like fifty times, by the end it's just weird.

[Yes, clearly Mick and Ray have very interesting word based nonsense to discuss here. Too bad Leonard is the only adult and sane one.]

Bowl is another weird one. I always end up like adding an aish noise on the end. Like a la. Bow-la.

[catchacold]

Slow down, Mick, I want to jump out of the car.

[How is he stuck in this situation? Is he going to have to listen to this increasingly more stupid nonsense much longer?

Is this what Mick's life will be without him?

If so, he's glad he's missing it.]

[shrinkage]

[ OKAY OKAY ray will have mercy-- ]

So-- what are we teaming up to do, anyway?

[boilover]

Nah.

[To make a point, Mick speeds up a little. Escape is impossible!]

We're going to read to blind orphans.

[Seriously Ray, what do you think they're doing?]

[catchacold]

And bake cookies.

[What do you think they're doing?]

[shrinkage]

[ what

hang on

wait for it ]

...We're doing a heist aren't we?

[ grrrrrroan ]
