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]

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.]

[notevenagirl]

Then you need to be updated. While plaid ain't so bad, the 'let's not bathe' look is so over. Though you've got the hair. [She smirks and crosses her arms.]

[heltersskelter]

I bathe!

[because that's the important thing not outdated plaid right.]

[notevenagirl]

Well I'm glad to hear that. [She laughs again.] I'm sure the people on this ship are glad to hear that.

[heltersskelter]

Well with the amount people bitch about the showers being communal...

[notevenagirl]

Whatever. Would you rather be gross?

[heltersskelter]

Hell no.

[notevenagirl]

Well then maybe we can hang out. I can put up with Nirvana, I guess.

[heltersskelter]

Put up--

[he sounds like he's mortally offended.]

You obviously haven't been listening to the right band. That settles it. As soon as I get my hands on an album we are having a night out.

[notevenagirl]

[She snorts.]

It's a date.

[heltersskelter]

No, I'm serious, you need to have this life experience otherwise there is no point in going on.

[notevenagirl]

I wish I could say I've already had this experience. But that music is old. [Sorry, Tate. She's seventeen in 2009. She was a baby when Nirvana was on the radio.]

Don't you dance?

[heltersskelter]

Dance how?

[like it's a trick question.]

[notevenagirl]

Dance anyway. [Duh.]

[heltersskelter]

I was forced to learn the two step?

[is that what you mean???? but he laughs, like he's embarrassed.]

I was never big on the school dance thing.

[notevenagirl]

I didn't really have a school to go to. I just like dancin'. Somethin' about a body up against you. [She shrugs. Totally innocent. Except not at all.]

[heltersskelter]

[oh. oh. his smile is slow, enticing and playful all at once.]

There's been a severe lack of dancing by anyone who isn't a raging homo on this ship, I think.

[notevenagirl]

I dance. [She points out with a grin.] But not to crappy nineties music.

[heltersskelter]

Okay what do you like to dance to then?

[notevenagirl]

Anything that has an actual beat.

[heltersskelter]

Maybe we should check out that club thing and see if they have anything worth listening to then.

[notevenagirl]

I work there. It's pretty fun. [So yes, Tate you should come.]

[heltersskelter]

Alright alright I'll swing by sometime.

[notevenagirl]

You should. I mean-- I'd like if you did. It's only randomly busy. Or I can wait til my shift gets out and we can chill. I can't really get drunk or anything, but I can chill out.
