I consider flirting- asking what she'll do for me if I let her sketch me, but I don't think that's the right move. "Yeah." I reply simply, not moving to pose.
I laugh. "Fair enough." I can certainly understand a girl wanting to keep some mystery about her. I sigh and stare off at the distance for a moment. What does keep me here? The easy answer is business, though it's becoming less compelling lately. "I…
I take the opportunity to lean in closer and smile at that. "Where do you go then?" I ask her.
I put a hand on the ground next to hers- barely touching her.
Omo finally convinces me to sleep when I try to place an IV three times and she has to step in and do it for me. I didn't even realize how tired I am, I've been going for so long on empty. Really empty, too- Metro's been gone and Kiddo is busy.
I e…
I see some lovely tattoos, I think to myself. I'd like to see the hidden ones.
"I see a mostly barren, mostly miserable rock," I start. "But I can't really complain what with such a lovely garden around us."
Very interesting distraction, indeed. I walk past her and find a spot further down. I hang my legs over the edge of the ship- the view is bloody fantastic.
"No, you need the time, so you'll have it. You managed fine without me all that time- the infirmary won't burn to the ground if you're away for a while." I say.
I'm selfishly hoping it won't be a long while, but I certainly can't begrudge her the t…
"You could try to go back, if you wanted." I tell her, my voice quiet. Gentle. "Lever is still looking for someone to run the clinic- or he was a couple months ago... Or... I could go, if you didn't want me here anymore."
This whole planet isn't re…
"Nah, I'm good. Thanks." I answer him.
Maybe I will go up to the garden. I don't have much else to do right now. If I hover around Tulle too much it may make her nervous... or annoyed. "Yeah, maybe I will." I say, more to myself than him.
Well that puts me in a tough spot. I wouldn't mind at all if the man died, but he's paying good jingle to spend time with Tulle. I rub the back of my neck.
"I don't have a couple jingle to spare right now, and I certainly can't afford to chip away …
I can sympathize, a little. I've never really had friends- though I have more now. When I woke up on this rock I was totally alone- all I had was Cee.
"Why'd you leave Trench?" I ask, softly. I'd known she was from there, but had never thought to …
The problem with cutting and running is that the thing that's really bothering me is going to come along for the ride.
"We'll see. Give 'em a week or two, see how it feels." I normally have a good feel for situations. I know when to hold and when t…
As we're scrubbing up after the surgery, I corner Janco in the washroom.
"Hey. You need sleep." I tell her. "You need it even more than me, and that's saying something."
OOC: Read Janco incoming.
Frakking hell- is it that obvious? I frown. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just not sure comin' here was the right call. I always make the right call... but this time..." My voice trails off.
"Hmm." I say, not really having much to add. I haven't had many dealings with council members. If Spanx has a plant on the council, that puts me in a tight spot- I'd like to stay and ruin her plans, but it might be better just leave and let the plac…
"Interesting." I reply to his information. "Sapphire? Remind me of the history between you two?" I ask, party because I really can't remember but also to deflect the conversation back to him.
Very interesting. If someone on the council is a plant f…
OOC: Take +1 forward.
I smile and nod at him- I'm still tired, but the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders.
The patient I'm most worried about is a boy- he was trampled and I'm afraid his spine was affected because he's reporting …
I know I probably shouldn't tell him everything. And I don't mean to, but once I start- from all the way back, a hundred years ago- I can't stop. It all comes out. I tell him about my past, about the Wendys, about how I'm happy to have the infirmary…
I giggle a bit when Trojan says I'm funny. Hah. I am funny. I give Brita a wave and a smirk and blow her a kiss.
"Mmhmm." I mumble to Velvet. I have seen him drunk or high a couple times- though it seems to be rare for him. We all have bad days, ye…
I'm out an hour or two- I'm pretty smart about glass- I don't use it often and I keep to small doses. I've seen too many folk burn out on it.
I saw myself- as a council member. Business was booming and nobody called me a pimp anymore. I had respect…
