[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.

...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:

deadliestviper

Really, you get breaches from outside worlds and you don't get pirates or anything? Please.

From:

notafuckingnut

Not like the ones that hijack or anything. We had 'em once, but everybody was one, more or less.

[She can't help it; whether it's the absurdity of the possibility or just the idea of Richie with an eyepatch and parrot, she laughs.] What?

From:

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?

From:

deadliestviper

C'mon, you can't tell me you ever thought about the afterlife while saying "I bet I'll end up on a spaceship transforming into a pirate. ...With mermaids."

From:

notafuckingnut

Well...no.

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

From:

deadliestviper

Never? [B finds that hard to believe, a killer not considering what happened after death. Did it frighten him? Or did he just see it as a means to an end?]

From:

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.]

From:

deadliestviper

Surely you've heard that old saw about ends being new beginnings. [Christ, she sounds like she's about to start proselytizing.] I thought everyone wondered from time to time.
