deadliestviper: (glass of water please?)

[The screen switches on, revealing a face caked in dirt, covered in dust, streaked with sweat, and smeared with blood. A pair of troubled, if clear, blue eyes look out from it, and then there's a shake of the head, followed by a swirl of long, messy blonde hair – underneath all the grime, the new arrival's a female. She gives a bright smile, the sight slightly disarming on such a gritty face.]

Hi. [Her voice cracks when she speaks and she coughs, then clears her throat.]

Sorry to bother you folks, but it appears I've got some new business to attend to and I'm a little out of sorts. [Her smile turns apologetic, a little self-deprecating. It might be cute if she didn't look like an adult female approximation of Peanuts' Pigpen.] If one of you would be so kind as to point me toward the showers, I'd be in your debt.

[One last thing: her voice lowers, the sparkle gone from her eyes.] Budd... If you're here, I'll find you.

Yeah, sure, no problem.

...I didn't get your name though.

notafuckingnut: (I've got this covered)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
[Sure, and he doesn't suspect anything amiss. Which helps.]

Nice to meet you, Beth.

notafuckingnut: (watch your back)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
That's okay. I wasn't really in the greatest mood when I first got here either.

[Mostly because he was panicking because he couldn't find his brother but that is...not the point.]

notafuckingnut: (doubtful)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
Well...none of 'em. The Admiral fixes everybody when they get here.

notafuckingnut: (...finish this later?)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
So they're not bleeding all over the place or anything, yeah.

[He rubs the back of his neck absently, fingers running over the healed-over scars from his own untimely demise before he drops his hand.]

I mean...depends on how you die as to how much you get.

notafuckingnut: (HER fault)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
Oh, yeah. Um. People don't die here. I mean, they do, but he brings them back if someone asks.

[She wouldn't have to guess. Ask about it and he'd be more than happy to share, if not launch into a very put-out explanation of how it happened and why it was unfair and probably more besides. It's a story he was all too happy to share with anyone who would listen his first month or so.]

notafuckingnut: (better deal?)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
...Unless it's a port, anyway. Or a breach. Then you have to wait until it's over.

[...or if someone hides your body and nobody finds it for a week. That happens too.]

notafuckingnut: (consideration)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
...not like spaceship breaches. Other worlds invade and shit, it's not like we get pirates or anything.

[Well. Except for that time they did?]

From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
Not like the ones that hijack or anything. We had 'em once, but everybody was one, more or less.

notafuckingnut: (SO not cool dude)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
[Nah, he was just a cabin boy with a thing for stabbing people. No real piracy for him.]

What's not to get? Everybody was a pirate. ...Most people were, anyway. There were mermaids and shit too, but. Mostly pirates.

[A scowl.]

What's so fucking funny?

notafuckingnut: (keep your head down)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
Well...no.

I didn't really think about what came after before I got here.

notafuckingnut: (WAIT let me finish)
From: [personal profile] notafuckingnut
It's death. What does it fucking matter anyway, you're dead.

[Another thing he doesn't quite believe; he thinks about it plenty, just...not when he's awake.]
