anyone else feel like they need to scrub their skin off right now?

ugh.

[ what with smiley's post and the slightly more horrified noises around the medbay and lockers, plus the inexplicable itchy feeling she'd been having that's making the hair on the back of her neck raise - almost like something was just out of sight and they were too late to know it. ]

1) only the icing will probably be poison the minute we taste it

2) i know i'm already going to make sure there aren't any random hallways for me to be walking in at night, so if anything else happens, i am so blaming you.

[ nevermind that she doesn't really know who it is!! SHE'LL DO IT ANYWAYS ]

1) i'm blaming you if that idea gets used.

2) at the risk of you feeling even more validated in blaming me, i'm not saying what i just thought.

[ THEY'RE ALL RANDOM HALLWAYS ERICA. ]

1) if you or anyone's dumb enough to taste anything suspicious, it's not my fault!

2) .....you can't just say that and not say it.

1) it's cake. cake is typically innocent and the food of the gods.

2) as the adult in this conversation i technically could. make it something about protecting teenagers like a responsible adult.

[ YOLO i mean. no that's kind of exactly what i mean. ]

1) lure us in with cake and enjoy seeing us fall to the floor dead. true meaning of monster.

2) i'd at least think my teaching credentials make that at least partially buy-able.

[ but derek's derek, and ric let's kids drink and is engaged to a grad student. he has no room to talk. ]

1) if this ever happens, you're the accessory to it.

2) :( are not. those are actually lawyers. and celebrities. but think about it, we weren't here before now. think about what that makes the hallways.

[ SEE HE DIDN'T SAY IT. ]

1) i'm under 18. i think that should get me a lighter sentence. plus i can just say i had no idea what was happening.

2) just hallways? hallways that weren't always creepy and mysterious?

1) of course you do. you're a teenager, it's practically written in your handbooks.

2) i'd say let's talk about the weather, but i haven't been rained on in the gardens. so. you feeling okay minus the weird feeling?

on this ship, anything that isn't i'm bleeding or experiencing a mental break or insert particularly nasty/bad thing here counts.

i would have also accepted living and in one piece.
