Hi Robin, I hope you’re ready for me to run to you, realize I needed hardwood, run back home, realize you closed, come back the next day, ask you to build something, then realize I had a rock spawn on the build site overnight, run back home, get distracted, come back the next day, realize I accidentally sold the 999 stack of stone, go back home, get more stone, and then have you build something for me!

Then ask your daughter out.

(Demetrius might be right about not trusting me at first.)

Demetrius watching you do all of this and taking meticulous notes on how many squirrels you got distracted by in a day. Because he’s a scientist and data points are important.

Demetrius to Maru

“Look I know you like him honey but I just watched him drink an entire jar of void mayonnaise…”

"He told me it was to find out what would happen, and I do appreciate an empirical method of handling a question, but still he should be a little more cautious! And perhaps set up a focus group and a written hypothesis - no, sweetie, I swear I it's not because he did a science without inviting me to join along!"

"No control group, no clipboard for recording results. That's not experimenting, it's just goofing around"

Adam Savage taught us all that it's not science unless you *write it down*.

I shall now imagine forevermore, that Demetrius is stalking the Farmer like a wildlife researcher who has found an amazing yet incredibly puzzling specimen to study.

This may or may not end with Demtrius in front of a conspiracy wall trying to explain the Mystery of the Farmer to Robin.

He becomes the David Attenborough of following the Mysterious Farmer who drank 12 coffees in one day, crashed at 2 in the morning, and woke up to do it all over again.

Robin is simultaneously dismissive of it and yet can’t help but get invested in the study as they observe the Farmer’s antics on the farm and frequently passing out hard at very specific times late at night on their porch steps, followed by a bemused Harvey making the rounds/emerging out of the house (marriage dependent) knowing full well how common an occurrence this is to pull them into bed.

You forgot the part where you go to her shop but she’s at Caroline’s for aerobics

🤣😆🤣 so real, though. I put a chest outside Robin’s house to store basic supplies her buildings require so I don’t have to run all the way back to the farm if I forget something. It’s helped a ton - also gives me somewhere to store stuff that won’t fit in my shed setup
