[The last time she addressed the network, Bela was in a sorry state: drunk, fed-up and angry at the world. Now, she's much more calm and composed, but with an expression that suggests that she means business.]

I'm looking to do a little trading with those who have what I need.

[A pause to emphasise how important this was.]

The list is as follows:

Hair conditioner, moisturiser, toothpaste..well, any kind of toiletries really. Something a bit more upmarket than what we get here.

Trivial as those may be, if I'm going to be on board and without access to a shopping district, I think I could stand to have a few luxuries for myself.

[Another pause.] Oh, and ammunition for my pistol.

Contact me here or privately and I'll tell you what I have to offer.

[Just. This face.]

[onsilksheets]

[Behave. Or no sex for a month.]

You have something to offer me?

[bring_em_down]

[SIGH.]

I can't help you.

[onsilksheets]

[Hush you.]

Not even with toothpaste?

[bring_em_down]

You can borrow mine.

[antivanleather]

When you say 'moisturizer'. What is it that you mean?

Voice

[onsilksheets]

Something that softens your skin when you use it. Or hydrates it. A cream that you apply to wherever it's needed.

(voice.)

[carbonite]

Because they're important.

(voice.)

[onsilksheets]

[Oh, it's you. Long time, no see.]

At least I know not to ask you for what I need.

(voice.)

[carbonite]

What you need is a power coupling and fuel cells so that we can get off this ship.

(voice.)

[onsilksheets]

You're asking the wrong person, sweetie. Besides, I wouldn't know the first thing about using those to get off this bloody deathtrap.

(voice.)

[carbonite]

Yeah, I gathered that much.

Someone's sounding more like themselves. [ It's meant as a tease, though Mason is glad to see her less... whatever she was this time around. He really was worried. ] Have you tried talking to gunnery about ammo?

video;

[onsilksheets]

A lot better than the last time. [Bela smiles easily, the tease was fine by her.] I'm not even sure who is in charge of the gunnery, let alone asking them about it.

[angerissues]

...now that I think about it, I'm not sure either. [ He shrugs. ] Could've just asked to talk to somebody in that department, though.

video;

[onsilksheets]

I could have, yes. But trading something for another thing is what I do. I've missed being able to do that.

[angerissues]

In that case, I hope you find somebody to trade with.

[chaineddog]

I've got ammo but it depends what you're willing to trade.

[Heine is ever straight to the point, yep.]

text;

[onsilksheets]

Anything. But I'll need to know what you want in return first.

text;

[chaineddog]

Clothes. Not for me but for a friend of mine. Or hair accessories.

text;

[onsilksheets]

I'd be willing to trade those kinds of things. Can't promise a full wardrobe but yeah.

[certainproclivity]

I think the other captain might be willing to help you out with your ammunition problem. Sadly, you might be in a bit of a bind with everything else. [TERRIBLY AMUSED, BELA.]

[onsilksheets]

You mean Kirk? [Or Jim as she calls him because they were familiar.] It's starting to look that way. Much to my disappointment. [Hush you. Bela sounds a little frosty with her reply.]

[certainproclivity]

I've heard he's easily persuaded for the sake of a pretty face. [Yeah, Sark make fun of Kirk because he's like Vaughn Lite without all the parts that make Vaughn super obnoxious.] I'm almost hoping we'll have to stop soon.

[onsilksheets]

Believe me, I know. [They had an arrangement once and now Kirk had Bela in his good books. He'd probably do her a favour if she asked.] Why do you say that out of curiosity?
