[ somber is not a look that suits her. but with all that's been going on, it's hard to be anything but. she's in the oxygen gardens — alone for the time being even if she knows that might not be the best of choices. at least it's peaceful here.

she's rifling through a bag at the moment, seemingly distracted despite having turned on the feed with a purpose. it only lasts about as long as it takes her to pull out an unopened pack of cigarettes. ]

I don't smoke. But I got these in my locker so, I figure I should do something with them, right?

— that doesn't mean giving it a try space adults, don't worry. [ too many hugs not drugs campaigns yo. and also if there's any vices to be picked up, she'll take time going through all the choices lbr. ]

I'm willing to trade if anyone's got something. [ shrugs. her other option is to just leave them as an anonymous gift to the first person she finds, but this is better. ] I don't really know what to ask for in return yet, but hey, if you make me an offer I'll think about it.

[ she moves to turn off the feed, but at the last minute — ]

Does anyone want to hang out? If you ignore the dinosaur, it's almost like back home.

Trading cigarettes, just like prison.

[ shut up derek you were just in a holding cell that one time. ]

auggie locked.

[ isn't there only supposed to be one teen making melodramatic analogies here ]

is that what you did when they thought you were the "mountain lion"?

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[A pause. When Edgeworth speaks, he doesn't exactly sound happy about this, but - ]

I'd like them.

[emerges]

[ well colour her surprised, sup dude. ]

Stress on the job?

[theshabbiestofmen]

Be careful with those. They're rather more valuable than I think you imagine.

If you'd like to hang out, ah, I'd be quite happy to.

[emerges]

Which is why I wasn't just going to give them away. I'm kind of hoping for something cool in return.

[ well as good as it'll get on the ship anyways. ]

Yeah? I'm still in the gardens if you want to come over.

[theyalldieforme]

You never know when you'll find someone who's willing to be passed around for cigarettes, you know.

[emerges]

Wait, like trafficking?

[ that's.... concerning TO SAY THE LEAST ]

voice;

[abrahamic]

For a second I was worried you found weed.

video

[emerges]

I wouldn't be trading it away so quickly if I did.

[tirade]

Nice pants. [ are those even pants? whatever, brosis. it's an off-handed compliment but she means it!! ] Anyway, I'm in. Just don't try to trade me for the best offer.

[emerges]

Jeggings. They're like if skinny jeans could get any tighter, but be a hundred times more comfortable. [ sagely nod. buffy do you want a pair the boys in her pack are being dumb and wont take any ]

I can't make any promises.

video.

[deprecate]

[ well. he may have missed christmas but it seems the ship is trying to make it back up to him. ]

Erm, I'd really like them. Or a couple, at least. One, even.

[ oh god he's been cold turkey for so long. ]

I can make stuff out of spare parts, or fix your tech, or my boyfriend does tattoos, if you want the ink on your arm to be something a little nicer than numbers.

[ he's trying not to sound like he's desperate, but uh... failing... ]

video.

[emerges]

Your boyfriend has tattoo stuff here?

[ clearly the most important thing to take out of that message!! no but dude, she is side-eying you because it really does look like he could use one. she might even consider giving a pity one. :c ]

video.

[ex_question191]

Are you trying to get everyone into leggings?

[ he has the encryption he can see you trying to convince derek ok. ]

video.

[emerges]

[ don't blow the plan stiles, it'll work. ]

Not everyone. Just the ones that matter.

voice »

[stacked]

What do you want for 'em?

[ HOLY SHIT WANT one jonesing nicotine freak, here. ]

I got some makeup and shit.

[ because: jeggings. she's only saying. ]

voice » I STILL LOVE YOU IT'S OKAY

[emerges]

How about you make me an offer I can't refuse?

[ if you could see her, she's definitely sitting there with steepled fingers. ]

Makeup is good. Are we talking good makeup or stuff that's going to make me break out in two days?

[oikodomae]

[ okay so Annabeth isn't exactly one to be all ~FRIANDS LET'S HANG OUT~ but she's been meaning to thank Erica for her first appearance and her help and well.

why the eff not. ]

You sound like we're in jail. [ trading cigarettes and all. Annabeth's smirking though so hopefully Erica picks it up as a joke. ] Just don't trade them too cheap.

[ very subtle way of saying 'hey i'm up for hanging out' maybe???? ]

video;

[emerges]

[ HEYYYY she recognizes you, so annabeth gets a sort of friendly wave. ]

We could be, considering we don't exactly get to leave. [ she's caught onto the prison jokes by now and just smirks back. ]

A million or nothing, right?

— hey, did you find that guy you were looking for? [ also, yes let's hang out maybe AND BE FRANDS ]

Video

[servant]

There's a dinosaur?

[Why is no one worried about the dinosaur.]

video

[emerges]

So I've heard and sometimes caught a glimpse of, yeah.

[ in the grand scheme of things, the dinosaur is probably not a worry lbr. also it could be nice!! ]

[video]

[doggedly]

[oh my god cigarettes. she has an entire pack of cigarettes. but wow he has to play this cool--]

Can I propose a trade?

[video]

[emerges]

[ you keep trying sirius, maybe it'll work some day ]

What kind of a trade?

video;

[gothchicklit]

[ God, October wishes she had something to trade. Sure, she's been helping Netherlands with the tobacco plants in the oxygen gardens, but already made, ready to smoke cigarettes? What she wouldn't give for those, if she had something to give. ]

If you don't smoke, why'd you get them?

video;

[emerges]

[ if erica was nicer, this would end up like mean girls where the smokes get split between everyone, no questions asked. alas, she's starting to learn the value of these. ]

You're asking the wrong person. Maybe whoever puts stuff in the lockers got mixed up.

video;

[breathalyser]

[ She'll try not to stare too longingly at the cigarettes, she's quit and isn't yet ready to trade away her makeup. ]

So that's not just someone taking the piss with the signs in there? [ The dinosaur one. ]

video;

[emerges]

[ there's a moment where the unfamiliar british slang holds her up from replying right away, but she figures alisha's not actually talking about piss. she hopes. ]

The don't walk on the grass ones? Yeah, they're weirdly strict about those.

[ bc obviously that's the more important one to be minding, right? ]

[likethehulk]

[Have an unsure Scott.]

Hey, Erica.

video; private »

[emerges]

[ well, this is certainly unexpected but she recovers quick enough to flash him a half-smile. ]

Scott. I thought I caught a whiff of you onboard.

video

[impitoyable]

[ mainly because morgana only knows how to use the video function for now.

and whilst everyone else was asking something about pants and cigarettes, that wasn't what made her pick up her communicator and send out a reply. ]

A dinosaur, here?

video

[emerges]

[ woah hey lady, you look like you've seen better days. she does like your hair though. any tips? ]

Only in the gardens, I think. Unless you mean here in space and I think we have more to worry about than how they managed to get a dinosaur up here.

( video )

[faithlessly]

Ooh, careful, Erica, maybe the ship's out to get you with those. Y'know, get you in trouble and all with said space adults. [ wild hooligan kid that you are and all. ] Some won't even listen if they see you with those. [ HE'S JUST TEASING OF COURSE. most people probably don't give two fucks about what she does with them. ]

( video )

[emerges]

Sabotage, huh? [ oh ship, how did you ever know of her wild and crazy ways. no one can reel her in, not even the TQ clearly!! ]

Good thing you uncovered their grand plan of getting me space grounded. [ said with as much fake horror in her voice as she can muster ]

video ]

[typically]

I don't have anything I'm willing to trade [ and he doesn't want them, to be honest ] but I'm down for hanging out. [ A head turn ] There's a dinosaur on board?

video ]

[emerges]

I don't even know if I'll have enough of them to trade away at this point, so maybe that's for the better.

[ and she'd prefer the hanging out with others over the bartering ] We could try to get a look at it if you want to come to the gardens.
