( 15 ) video ✶ honey you could be my drug you could be my new prescription

[unparental]

[ jenna's hair is still wet from the customary post-jump four showers, all way too much of it piled in a knot on top of her head. it's almost a little odd to try and collect her thoughts enough for a post that used to be customary, and her smile flickers for a split second before she shakes her head and it returns, more determined. ]

Welcome, new freshman. [ she can't help huffing out a laugh at her own lame joke. ] Sorry, couldn't resist. More seriously, if we didn't skip another number sorry about the space kidnapping wave twenty one, but welcome to the Tranquility anyway. I'm sure there will be a lot of technical questions I can't answer at all, but the daily life thing is-- god help me, my normal by now so if any of you want to know about where the pool is, feel free to ask.

For anyone who wants to join in, there are dinners down on floor one. They're kind of a everybody pitches in deal, so it's work for food but trust me, after a little while here the work part isn't as bad because it has company attached. No screaming, no weapons, don't even think about starting a fight and no I don't care about the age-old household rivalry and honor right now about covers the basic rules.

[ she looks down, a little hesitant for the first moment. ]

Which brings me to part two: what to do if you don't can't survive on just traditional food. I know last month one of the other members of medical brought this up, but I wanted to add something-- I'm most experienced in dealing with the vampire side of things, but I understand coming forward isn't exactly ingrained for a lot of people. If you're not comfortable just yet and you need-- an advocate in medical, I guess, feel free to contact me.

[ a beat, and then she shakes her head and continues a little more briskly: ]

That's it, sorry again about the space kidnapping for the new kids.

Sorry 'bout missin' last weeks dinner; medical wouldn't let me out until the jump.

[Worst thing ever to be honest]

[unparental]

It's okay, I've been a hermit on and off myself. We'll make our big returns together, all right?

...and you're feeling better, right?

[enforced]

I'm sorry I've been so caught up, recently.

It seems like every Jedi in the galaxy is poised to arrive here.

[unparental]

For a while, it was vampires. I think I'll take the Jedi.

How you holding up with the influx, though?

text, auggielocked;

[altercate]

I need to talk to you.

text, auggielocked;

[unparental]

Words I never thought I'd hear.

Is everything okay?

[northerner]

You don't care about household rivalries and honor?

[ WHAT KIND OF BANNERMAN no really robb's amused. ]

[unparental]

Not when they're staging fights during dinner, I don't.

[ she loves you the most robb ]

[ex_question191]

Remind me who you are again? Because I think I've forgotten.

[ uh not really, obviously, he is just being cheeky about your absence from everything ever lately. ]

video.

[unparental]

Just because I decide to shun the network for a while like a complete shut in, you go and forget me.

[ stiles jenna really does appreciate you. ]

[jagerin]

Vampires - you mean surviving on human blood vampires?

[ gretel has rarely, if ever, encountered one of those in her and her brother's travel's, but she's somehow not surprised that they're here. ]

video »

[unparental]

Those would be the ones.

[ open, but she's vaguely cautious. ]

voice.

[passe]

Easy, Mother Teresa; you're liable to end up with a few strays.

[ seriously, he's surprised jenna hasn't turned her room into a halfway house. ]

voice.

[unparental]

I could never be a nun-- celibacy and the black robes are both deal breakers.

[ she totally has, hal, be real here. ]

But I'm choosing to take that as a compliment.

voice;

[sweetmotherofgod]

That's -

a good thing. That you're doing, there. Offering to advocate for people. I mean.

voice;

[unparental]

It's not like I'm not public record-- might as well try and do something with that.

[ it's awkward as fuck, lbr. ]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

[Quietly:]

Are you all right?

[voice]

[unparental]

The usual, pretty much. Dumb question, but you?

[text]

[nebbish]

[He side-eyes the bit about "vampire side of things," but...woman-who-said-everything-but-what-her-name-is, you really are courting disaster if you're hanging around with their types.

Not that George is going to interfere. Live and let live. Right.]

If we've excess food, can we donate it to these dinners of yours?

[text]

[unparental]

Of course, absolutely. Anything is almost literal on this one.

voice;

[oftwoworlds]

Your offer of generalized information is very much appreciated, however if I may I would like to inquire as to more specific details of our abduction.

Firstly, is it possible to speak with the actual crew of this vessel? Do they maintain a regular presence aboard the ship in relation to us?

Additionally, if you would clarify what you mean by vampires. At times the more subtle nuances of human communication escapes me. [Because surely she doesn't actually mean vampires like from Terran literature or whatever. Surely.]

voice;

[unparental]

[ there's an awkward pause to start, as familiar phrasing meets unfamiliar number. ]

Uh-- sorry. Um-- the crew. That's Ward and Resnik, as far as we know. It's a little less certain than it used to be. And not really, they show up when they want.

[ and where they want, but that's another story. ]

And just vampire-vampires, really. 'I vant to suck your blood' and all that stuff. [ bad dracula impressions are never not funny. ]

[iceboxed]

What would you want people to do?

[for the food part. his supernatural issues are solely for derek and scott's ears only]

[unparental]

Help cook, wash dishes, raid the unused floors for extra supplies... anything, really.

[ good call on the second, maybe wait on the first to learn communication isaac js ]

[He's improving with locks, thank God, because this isn't exactly something he wants to talk about--not at the best of times. And this is not the best of times.]

You're really encouraging it?

voice » stark locked

[unparental]

Considering for me it's feed or mummify-- mmhmm, oh yeah. Definitely encouraging it.

[ she's js. ]

[heister]

Now, why didn't I get a friendly greeting like that after I experienced my first jump? I could've gotten rid of the space headache much faster.

[ and he's met the jedi. he can handle the vampires. ]

video »

[unparental]

That's what you get for showing up in an off month for me-- next time you'll know better.

[ she can't hold a haughty expression after that one, shaking her head and laughing a little. ]

There are these little freeze dried fruits I swear help with the headache, by the way.

video;

[pried]

Whoa wait, there's like non humans here?

[ Okay seriously, this place is getting weirder and weirder by the minute and he's been here for like less than twenty-four hours. ]

video;

[unparental]

I think the scale has to be at least one to two-- we're everywhere, as creepy as that sounds in retrospect. Wishing I had phrased that better, sorry.

video.

[avengeful]

[Sam swallows hard at this whole thing, but he tries not to let his caution bleed into his reply; he's not sure how Dean's reacted to the whole vampire issue, but he knows that jumping at it won't gain anything. New world, new rules, but he doesn't particularly like it...]

How many vampires are around, anyway? Must be quite a few... I mean, if you need to talk to them. About -- all that.

[wait]

You've dealt with vampires back home?

video » stark locked

[unparental]

[ aaaand just locking this one. ]

I threw a lock on this conversation, because the answer to that one is... kind of complicated. And before I do it I want to point out that I could lie. [ why will be clear after is the subtext ]

video;

[gilding]

I imagine running these communal dinners must be quite frustrating, then. Assuming, of course, that your experience with vampires is because you are one yourself.

video;

[unparental]

You're right on the second half, but the first is more bad lit than reality.

[ just a hint of tartness in her voice. ]

video; this is the most basic newbie lock

[faithinmedicine]

[Someone has like literally just started playing with her comms device in her locker] Sorry, did you just say that medical is assisting vampires?

video; upgraded to stark lock

[unparental]

We are, yes.

[ jenna's tone isn't unfriendly, but it's a little cautious. ]

[andblockbuster]

Is it just me or were there actually less new faces than usual?

[unparental]

You noticed that too, huh? I was trying not to point it out, it's-- creepy, really.

[encrypted 85%] NOW WITH 90% LESS LEVITY

[thatsaflaregun]

Your husband and I had an interesting chat.

[That's not cryptic at all, Des.]

[encrypted 85%] OH SHIT SON

[unparental]

...is everything okay, Des?

[ WHAT DID RIC DO ]

[mathematically]

Not even a food fight?

[ because that's...harmless. really. ]

[unparental]

As long as I don't have to hear about it beforehand, it's not like I could stop anyone.

[ so that's a blessing then ]

text » locked » literally idk hours later oops

[hypospray]

Because they'll definitely come out to you and not think you're selling them out.

[ pessimist ahead, though lbr, this isn't a half bad idea. ]

text » locked » yo sup bones

[unparental]

Not all of them, absolutely not. But I don't lose anything by trying, do I?

[ bones brings out her sassy ]
