[ John's dressed down for once, shirt missing and all. The Grim Reaper tattoo on his inner arm is visible, scythe and all, where most people's nanites are -- his are visible on the other arm. One hand is beneath his head and the other is holding the camera at a bit of an odd angle; he's laying down, apparently in bed. Despite that, he doesn't look like he's gotten a lot of sleep. ]
So. [ He starts, stops; clears his throat to make himself sound a little more awake. ] This place is hell, but we manage to relax sometimes. How do you all do it? [ There's a pause, considering, and he adds: ] Other than getting drunk.
[ That's not going to help him, considering he can't anymore. At the end of the day, what John needs is for nightmares of dead teammates and monsters in the dark to stop haunting him, of the dead on the ship that he could have (should have) been able to help. But for now... he'll take what he can get. Not that he necessarily wants everyone knowing he can't relax. ]
Call me curious, I guess. I would've bet on more nervous breakdowns.

action; crawls back in here tail between legs
Snake could be colourful.
[Not like some kind of rainbow. Just different greens, maybe. But she didn't know if that was what Reaper was after, and that was what was important, in any tattoo.]
He won't mind.
[That's said slightly more like a reassurance on the idea, glancing up at him. Noah won't mind sketching it, and Taylor won't mind tattooing it.]
action; scoops up!!!
[ Right now John has a feeling he might agree with her on anything, almost drunk on the fact that he can touch someone when it's not out of instinct and not hurt them, even if it's just with one finger. That finger traces the flowers a little more and then he pulls his hand away, belatedly realizing just what it is he's doing. While he doesn't step back, he goes offer Tyke a crooked smile. ]
I'll have to talk to him, I suppose.
