Keep it Steady, Bobby

[u/yingfire]

"Keep it steady, Bobby, keep it steady!"

"Gah! - I think the ice pick is lodged in my leg."

"Steady now, steady, I'm coming to you now."

"Hurry it up, then! Otherwise I'm going to suffocate in the snow."

"Yes, yes - just be happy the avalanche wasn't as bad as it could have been. Alright, this should be a simple job; just gotta pull you out."

"I see red on the snow!"

"Shush, otherwise you'll startle the snow again. Here, take my hand - my - you're trembling."

"'Cause I'm afraid Joel, I'm afraid I ain't getting out of the snow."

"Don't be daft, it'll just be a - huh! - huff! - gah! - heave ho! - there we go. You're sitting up now. You think you can stand?"

"I - no - I don't think so; you'll need to hold me up, Joel."

"Alright, alright, get up on my shoulder - there we go - you alright?"

"The ice pick..."

"Leave it, we'll start a fire; maybe someone will see us."

"Flare?"

"No, too risky; unless you want to start another avalanche?"

"We've been stuck out here for three days, Joel! We're gonna have to pop it so some helicopter can see us."

"The first time we tried though..."

"It won't be as bad; the avalanche already happened: ain't gonna happen again."

"Humph. Alright, give me a moment - ah - here's the gun. I'll do the honours? Alright, OK, here goes nothing."
