murder --3; video

[heltersskelter]

Hey.

[and here's your favourite blonde shit disturber, Tranquility. he's playing the part of possibly-humiliated-teenager, and he's doing it well, all while wearing a Nirvana t-shirt.]

I wanted to say I'm sorry about what I said before, about that alien or whatever. I guess that was kind of a dick move, I was just surprised, you know? But I mean we've seriously got bigger things to worry about. I didn't realize space could be so dangerous outside of crushing space jumps and goo-sickness. [give Tate something terrifying and he'll poke at the wound, Carolyn, i hope you're proud.]

Not that we shouldn't be taking screaming ships and black holes and solar flares lightly but... I was wondering if anyone would maybe- lend me a book or something. I mean the library they've got here is great but I'm a little more old fashioned. [he pulls a face, like he knows how weird that sounds.] Or some music? But not that- club stuff that those guys play in whatever you're calling that dance joint. I'm talking some serious music. Like, Smashing Pumpkins and Kurt Cobain. Trent Reznor. Shit like that.

[a beat.]

I don't really have anything to trade but I dunno, I could figure something out. [he does have a bag of weed, still, but he's not going to offer that up freely lololol]

That's why we're going to offer training so people can learn what to do in the event of an emergency.

[ Don't even try it, Tate. ]

[heltersskelter]

That sounds pretty intense. I mean, haven't most of you guys been at this for years? I'm just a high school student.

[suddenlycaptain]

If you're in school, you should be used to learning.

Most of it will just be information. What does what, that sort of thing.

Is it? Dangerous, I mean. [ c u r i o u s ] I did hear about the space sickness, and the anonymous posts to the network, but- Was there something else?

[heltersskelter]

No, it was just that, but I guess it wasn't the first time it happened.

If I let you borrow a book, you'd have to promise it would get back to me in good shape.

[He likes Tate. As for the music--]

I got Johnny Cash.

But that stuff isn't leaving my room.

[heltersskelter]

For real, Johnny Cash?

[that's- wickedly old fashioned, actually.]

What books have you got?

voice; encryption 85%

[redhotsummers]

Yeah. Got some Buddy Holly, Big Bopper too.

[A chuckle]

Only one book.

Catcher in the Rye.

[allucinator]

I got an old cowboy book, if you wanna read it.

voice;

[heltersskelter]

Like, it's a western?

voice;

[allucinator]

Yep. A good one, too.

[amethysts]

If you owe me for it, I have a library on my computer.

[These people not even bargaining first, Buddha. This fucking ship.]

[heltersskelter]

Am I going to have to expect something really awful when you call in that I.O.U. or...?

[he's smiling so]

[amethysts]

Sexual favours.

[The pan, it is dead.]

No. Information for information. Tell me something I don't know later, you can check out all the books you want now.

[Libby sends a brief index--it revolves around a mix of critically and popularly acclaimed novels up to 2082, so there's plenty he won't recognize. But if it was critically lauded or immensely popular from his time and back, there's a chance he could find it. How does she cart it all around? Compression.]

[dirtyword]

[ Brendan perks up at the mention of music--and more importantly, the stuff from his era. ]

Pixies fan?

[heltersskelter]

You know the Pixies?

[dirtyword]

Who doesn't?

[notevenagirl]

You are so stuck in the 90s. [Teasing grin.]

[heltersskelter]

So what if I am?

[and he grins, teasing, right back. but maybe it's funnier to him because it's true, in a way.]

[backwordscompatible]

...we can actually find decent music around here?

video

[heltersskelter]

Yeah some people have got iPods loaded with music.

voice.

[prayersforthewicked]

There is a library here?

voice.

[heltersskelter]

Yep.

You new?

action because fuck you

[entrapments]

[ she comes in because she can. because this tentative truce that they've made is worth exploring because of it's potential as much as it is because hayley can't leave well enough alone. it folds and unfolds upon itself, promises nothing and denies nothing.

the girl stops short just inside the door, and she offers a nod in his direction, gaze on the communicator in his hand- and says nothing. dark of her eyes flickering up to his face. is that thing still recording? ]

[heltersskelter]

[unlike a lot of people, Tate isn't always concerned about locking his door up here. maybe because he doesn't really expect anyone to seek him out, so when Hayley turns up his gaze darts up to her as he's finishing his transmission.

he cuts the connection.]

Hey.
