--one [video]

[Great, one of these things again. This was all feeling a little too familiar. A video shows up on the network, but Lisbeth's face is barely visible. It may seem more like an accidental video. The left side of her body is visible.]

I don't do well in confined spaces.

... Me either.

['Sup. He's spent a lot of time trying to find some open air.]

I've been going to the oxygen gardens when the rooms feel smaller than usual, but I guess there's no real way of getting rid of that feeling completely around here.

[He's actualy sort of in the garden right now. There're those times where he wakes up forgetting time has past since the mental hospital. Or times where he dreams he's drowning. Y'know, totally normal things to wake up feeling.]

[She knows that feel, bro.]

What is the oxygen garden?

[...Lisbeth was breathing perfectly fine.]

[Oh. Right. He turns the camera to a rather... green place. It looks like there are plants, grass--in spots ahead, heavy jungle.] This place here. It makes up a few decks, and it can be pretty peaceful... Only bugs around here, though.

Maybe they disappeared with the old crew. Whoever they were.

[It still bothers him, to think about that. A ship nearly empty when he arrived; talk about hitting close to home.]

Is it supposed to be some kind of recompense?

[Ha.]

If only. I don't think they really care whether there's compensation for us being here. We're just unfortunately dragged along wherever this thing takes us.

But even if it's kinda different, this area's as close to home for me as this place gets... so I guess that makes it worth something. Maybe that's just me.

[She chews on her bottom lip, her lip ring moving in the artificial light of her device.]

Where I'm from, it snows alot. Is there anywhere like that on here?

I don't think so... wasn't as big a fan of snow back home; never liked staying in the house for longer than I had to.

[He was more a wandering type, despite his routine solitude.]

But lately... wouldn't mind seeing it again. With how weird things can get, who knows? Might have around sooner or later, somehow.

Someone else mentioned a library. Is there anything else noteworthy here?

I think there are gyms around—kitchens and rec rooms, too. [Hn. Ah, there's one other thing he can immediately bring to mind-] I also heard about... uh--some of the doors that people can't open. No one's been able to, anyway.

[Actually...]

You read about the red smiley guy, yet? That'd probably be something you'd wanna know about.

[Kitchens..]

Is there soda?

[Because she is seriously jonesin' for it.]

I think so, yeah. And I'm not sure what they got, but we recently stopped at a outpost and restocked, so there should be more than a week or two ago. [THE ONLY GOOD THING TO COME FROM STRELA.....]

Can we smoke?

[A soft, short laugh.]

As long as you're not starting any fires, I think you're golden.

[Hey, at least Murphy made him put out the fire he made.]

Dunno how many smokes we'd have aboard though.

I found my cigarettes in my locker. But I hate rationing.

I hear you there. If I see any packs I'll let you know, first dibs. Maybe someone who stopped at the last place pocketed a lot of 'em.

[Because hell, it's not like he has anything better to do.]

Anything else I should be looking out for?

No. That is all I need to survive.

[And McDonald's was probably out of the question so she doesn't even bother.]

Good to hear. If you need anything, I'm Alex and I'm always around to help. But you seem like you know what you're doing, so I won't waste much more of your time there.
