[The camera shows Periscope and Dice's empty kitchen. The door is heard opening and closing, followed by Periscope walking into the frame.]

Periscope: Dice?

[There's no answer.]

Periscope: D?

[There are sounds of footsteps presumably going down stairs.]

Dice, walking into frame: Hey, what's up?

Periscope: I was just wondering if you were alright.

Dice: Uh, yeah, about that.

Periscope: What do you mean, "about that?"

Dice: I need to not be here right now, is all.

Periscope: What's going on?

[Dice pauses for a moment to look at Periscope, and takes a deep breath.]

Dice, putting their finger to their nose: Nosies.

Periscope, not putting their finger to their nose: Nosies?

Dice: Yes. Nosies. Someone is going to come to the door, and when they do, I need you to answer it.

Periscope: Who's coming to the door?

Dice: Someone important, I just can't be here for it.

Periscope: Where are you going to go?

Dice, beginning to walk out of frame: If I told you that, that would kind of defeat the purpose, right?

[The scene cuts to Dice's bedroom.]

Periscope: Yeah, I guess so.

Dice, picking up a bag off their bed: Great! So, I'll just see you when I do. Don't worry, I'll be safe.

Periscope: I don't think I trust this.

Dice: I'll be fine, Peri.

[The scene cuts again to Periscope's bedroom.]

Periscope: Why are you going out my window?

Dice: In case someone's watching the door.

Periscope: But you have a window.

Dice: But you keep a ladder underneath yours.

Periscope: I guess that's fair.

Dice: I won't be gone forever.

Periscope: Please be safe.

Dice: When have I ever been unsafe?

[The camera cuts to the outside of Pipette's house. Dice walks up to the door and starts knocking on it, before deciding to just open it.]

Dice: Pipette, get out here!

[Pipette gets out there.]

Pipette: Dice?

Dice: Come with me.

Pipette: What are you doing here?

Dice: Pipe. Shut up and come with me.

Pipette: Uh- ok?

[Pipette starts putting on shoes.]

Pipette: Do I need to bring anything with me?

Dice: Yes. Probably food and water. And an extra layer for nighttime.

Pipette: How long will we be gone?
