VIOLET: I can't go with you to the thing. Facebook just reminded me that Saturday is Haley's birthday party.
BRITNEE: Do you have a gift?
VIOLET: Nah, I'm just gonna get her an Amazon gift card.
BRITNEE: Where's the party going to be?
VIOLET: I'm not sure where her new place is. I'll just Google Map it.
BRITNEE: What're you guys going to do there?
VIOLET: I dunno, probably just hang out looking at funny pictures or Reddit, or maybe watch something on Netflix?
BRITNEE: HMMH. Whatever would you DO if the Internet were to disappear?
VIOLET: Well I guess we'd have to gather around CAMPFIRE to SING THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY

I wrote a little reminiscence on Patreon (free/unlocked) — including a first-since-then reprint of the photocomics I made at the time, documenting the trip!
