Don't think I won't fling my spoon at you.

[Arching an eyebrow. Heck, her eyes already turn towards a sugar packet on the table, and a little container of butter. Either would work nicely. Truthfully, she hadn't thought too much about sex outside of this place and only here because she was forced too, too busy with cleaning up all their mistakes back home. Never again... She didn't want anything from Freelancer to fall in the wrong hands again. And, after him...

It is a moment, a lingering pause, almost reflecting back on times long gone now, before her fingers curl into his.]


She patched me up enough on Chorus- and don't get on her bad side- but he had been having issues anyway. The idiot tried to play it off, but he ended up sacrificing himself in the end to save us by dematerializing. He was with Tucker then, if only because everyone expected him to be with me. We ended up on 'retiring' on a moon. Not Grey. She stayed on Chorus. The Reds and the Blues and Wash. They helped with losing him, since he meant as much to me as he did them.

I was bored out of my fucking mind. I even went and asked for lessons on how to be lazy. And Wash? He grew a beard.

[Ignoring dinosaurs and mushrooms and wars on gravity and a robot army... She needed to keep busy, to keep herself occupied. Doubts it will last, whether it's because Donut blows up the whole planet, or something else comes up.

But her face skims over his again, shifting. Once, she might have been too preoccupied in herself and the leader board. She'd let things slip. She tries harder now to be better, to be the kind of leader that they had deserved her to be.]


You- you're not sleeping well, are you?

Who knows, maybe one day you'll be tormented with the sight of it.

[The barest hint of a curl on her lips. Not that she wishes Wash to be here, feels almost bad for saying that, as if it might somehow magically make him appear.

The bags under his eyes, and the experience she herself went through. It pales in comparison, she knows. York and Delta. Peanut butter and jelly. Both he and North had done far better than the rest of them.]


I'm sorry. I know how much you meant to each other. If you ever need or want to talk about it, I'm here, or even if you don't want to talk about it.

[It's her turn to give a squeeze on his hand.]

Well... I can say my way after the cliff wasn't the best. Revenge didn't really...

[Didn't do anything. The Director... Her father had been a shell of a man in that room, lost in the past, unable to move beyond Allison. Stagnant.]

One day at a time. Even then, there will be good days, and there will be bad days.

[It had felt good, in the beginning. Given her a purpose after she had lost it. Yet it had crumbled away the moment she had laid eyes upon him. It didn't excuse anything that had happened in Freelancer, but putting a bullet between the Director's eyes wouldn't accomplish anything. Epsilon had showed her, Wash and the rest and stood by her.]

No, we're not, and you're not. First floor, if you ever need anything, right?

As fixed as it's likely going to get.

[It's literally just a place to sleep, at least until she can work some things out. Relying on strangers? Not her strong suit, which is why she is taking her sweet time. She knows that some bounce right into a contract, but it is something she's putting thought in to.]

[personal profile] uptightness 2021-09-19 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She hasn't exactly paid overly much attention to some of the rules, simply because they had no bearing on her. She does know that staying overnight too long uncontracted is a no.]

They're arguably a bit less fussy when it comes to Submissives.

[Although there are some loopholes or work arounds, at least for a time.]

[personal profile] uptightness 2021-09-19 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a low rumbled laugh, and she gives one last squeeze on his hand before taking a sip of her cola.]

I think that can be arranged.

A few times. Easier to get served in the Down without being contracted, or lying about what you're doing.

[She'd found it in the first few weeks as she learned the lay of the Down as best as she could.]

A bit, er, fresher than what they serve at the housing too.
uptightness: (pb } converse)

Apparently there were some food shortages not that long ago.

[In the Down, anyway. Carolina's not certain about the Up. Things seem to hit harder here then above.]

House curry for me as well.

I came in at the tail end of the flooding. They shipped us off to camp.

[Lost for a moment in those memories. The only real camp she had ever gone to was anything army related. Not... a camp like that.]

I wouldn't recommend the camp experience.

[A bit of a clipped tone to her voice as she takes a sip of her drink.]

It can be tense. The natives are all about how things are here.
uptightness: (face } bangs)

[personal profile] uptightness 2021-09-23 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[She likely shouldn't have brought it up, nose wrinkling for a moment.]

This place, but camp form. You wanted to eat food from the mess? You kneel or sit on some Dominants lap. Various 'activities' to try to get people to- [A small motion with her chin. He could put one and one together for that.] Ridiculous uniforms.

[Play along, or don't. Skirt the lines. Test the limits. It may come back to bite her in the ass, but it might also not. It's a coin she'll keep flipping.]

Doesn't appear to be a regular thing at least.
