ataraxion | murder --3; video

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. ]

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?

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.

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

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

For real, Johnny Cash?

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

What books have you got?

Yeah. Got some Buddy Holly, Big Bopper too.

[A chuckle]

Only one book.

Catcher in the Rye.

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.

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

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

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

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

Pixies fan?

Like, it's a western?

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

[he's smiling so]

You know the Pixies?

I haven't read that in ages.

Yeah like lit.

So it's kind of like those crash courses in how to get off a plane if it falls out of the sky, only if we tried that here we'd die in the vacuum of space.

[yes, tate, exactly like that.]

[ Well she thinks she followed that. lol space future ] Commercial safety demonstrations for passengers -- basically. We'll work with whatever we have.

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.]

Who doesn't?

[he smirks, but his eyebrows shoot up when he opens the index.]

If I find something I like then we have a deal.

[Tate knows more than he lets on, after all.]

Nobody worth mentioning.

[they weren't as popular in the States, after all, and then Nirvana came along and blew everyone else out of the water.]

I think getting off the ship would be kind of a problem, since they only have two working shuttles...

Take your time.

[Oh, yes. You played the Smiley joke. Libby isn't going to tip on that yet.]

I'll leave you the index. Private message my comm with a reading list when you got one, 'kay? And it's Tate, right?

Evacuation-wise, yes, that would be a problem. So we're going to cover what to do in case there's a problem, what to do to keep problems at a minimum, so that we don't have to evacuate.

Yep. A good one, too.
