W4 THURSDAY : CURFEW

[impatiens]

[ Guess who is stuck in the medbay with you sir ]

What... Happened?

[roseoftexas]

[ hey girl hey. for funsies, i'm gonna say the rough treatment probably reopened a few cuts on shu's arms that weren't quite done cooking. yay.

he's bleeding! ]

... Good fucking question. One minute we were on planet and then-- something?? Literally just burst into my room and grabbed me.

[impatiens]

[ WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT......... SHE'S GOING TO QUICKLY PATCH HIM UP? PLEASE...

Talk about tentacles after! ]

[roseoftexas]

[ because funny.




he'll let he fuss and get him sorted out. ]

[impatiens]

[ Sigh of relief... ]

Okay... Now that that's done... The same thing happened to me. What was that?!

[ Rhetorical. ]

[roseoftexas]

[ big shrug. ]

The ship really wanted to stick to the schedule?

[impatiens]

But... With... Limbs? That's what those are, aren't they?

[ that is too abnormal for her, even if she comes from a weird place. ]

[roseoftexas]

They looked like... plant tendrils or something?

[ giselle, sweetie... it's SO abnormal. you're among friends. ]

[impatiens]

Plants?

[ ??? ]

Our ship isn't made of biotechnology.

[roseoftexas]

[ help. ]

That's... what it seemed like. [ tentatcles... ]

They were strong enough to smash through the windows and grab us.

[impatiens]

... I would say I don't know how I'd sleep tonight, but we get knocked out.

[ That's worse. ]

[roseoftexas]

Yeah, no one can really accuse us of Thursday night insomnia in this place.

[impatiens]

[ She laughs a bit... ]

... That's true. [ She wonders if it's better that they talk about other things, for their nerves. FOR HER NERVES. ] Yesterday was fun, right?

[roseoftexas]

[ HER NERVES. ]

The auction? Yeah, that was pretty enjoyable. Pretty different to the usual kind of work we've been doing on a Wednesday over the past few weeks.

[impatiens]

We were invited as guests, which was nice... The extended stay, too.

[ Nodding. ]

Did you win anything?

[roseoftexas]

Would've been nice if we could've enjoyed it for longer. Think Nut & Bolt'll get hit with a repair bill? [ THEY SHOULD. ]

Ah--

[ hang on he'll dig around and

pull out the invisigun that you guys gave a much better name. ] This thing. Turns whatever I shoot invisible.

[impatiens]

I think they would. At this point, they have to fund our entire lives.

[ Retirement... For surviving. ]

Oh! What an interesting gun?

[roseoftexas]

Bet they'll love that.

[ he truly


does not care. suffer, N&B. ]

Yeah, not quite what I was expecting but it'll come in handy if I need to use it.

[impatiens]

... If you shoot yourself, will you become invisible?

[roseoftexas]

[ looks up. ]

Yeah. Probably.

It says there are no bullets, so it'll just be the motion that makes it happen. [ maybe he will summon a persona. ]

[impatiens]

So it's like a toy gun.

... Why in the shape of a gun, though?

[roseoftexas]

Easier to aim? At least, it is for me.

[impatiens]

It could have been something like... Chewing gum.

[roseoftexas]

Probably quicker to just shoot something than pop chewing gum in your mouth and chew it, though. Reuseable too.

[impatiens]

I guess that's true... But a gun is still a weird vehicle.

Why couldn't it have been a plush toy you hug?
