( 001 ) video ✶ it's a small crime and i got no excuse

[unparental]

[ this post is not a great post to make. jenna debates saying anything at all, but the other options aren't options so much as death sentences. after steeling her nerves, a visibly ill at ease but trying to grin through it jenna has a few things to ask, o fellow passengers on this not-a-yacht. ]

Okay, everyone else is doing the 'where are we, why are we here' thing, and better than I could so... I'll take the other obvious ones. Has anyone found food? And more importantly, booze? Because I would trade the space jumpsuit off my back for a bottle of Cuervo right now.

[ pause. and this is the MOST CASUAL QUESTION WHAT. no ulterior motives here, shhh. ]

And on a different note, what's the medical situation like here? Because the first aid class I took says we should probably have bandages, Neosporin, Advil... blood bags... [ one of these things is not like the other. ] Just curious.

[ Oxford laughs, low and subdued even though the amusement is very much audible nonetheless. ]

I think a strong desire for a drink is allowed during times like these. How often does one suddenly wake with a pipe down their throats aboard a spaceship, after all? [ He pauses, just for a moment, in thought about how to proceed. ] Oxford. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Sommers.

Believe it or not, it's my first time. You? [ there's an abortive movement as jenna almost tries to stick her hand out for empty air. force of habit and the slight mental disconnect that she can't shake yet. ] You too, Oxford. And not just because right now, you're my hero.

Mine also. I've yet to decide whether the eleven year old in me is sufficiently appeased by the situation, or if my far older self has finally stifled my inner child. [ His smile is small but relaxed; pleasant, one might say. ] If we're all trapped in the same place, we might as well try to help each other settle. Alcohol can be quite a dream for relaxing the nerves.

[ Such double standards, Oxford, you are a hideous individual. ]

Not enough fluorescent pink unicorns to be the product of my inner child, so if there's one behind this I know who to blame. [ jenna's smile has verve; she really, really likes life-- even dying can't end that, apparently-- and it shows. ] They don't call it social lubrication for nothing.

I'm sure they shall bear the responsibility with as much grace as possible.

[ Now excuse Oxford for a moment, he's going to half laugh, half try to hide it as a cough. Now that was an unexpected remark. ]

[ NO SHAME IN THIS GRIN. it's a legit phrase, google that shit. if it sounded suggestive ...well, jenna meant it to. she is a delicate flower of blushing maidenly reserve, obvs. ]

I think the inner child theory's a little flimsy, anyway. Your inner pre-teen should escape unscathed.

[ "suggestive" is something of an understatement ]

What a relief to hear that! [ A proper laugh this time, though still fairly quiet. ] Do you think there is a more solid theory to this, though? One that we could process and understand with relative ease.

[ DELICATE GODDAMN FLOWER THE META SAID. DELICATE GODDAMN FLOWER. ]

The first guy I met here said we were on a ship, and I assumed he meant a yacht. A... weird, weird yacht, but space didn't even enter my mind. I am really not the person who should be theorizing here.

[jedimindkink.livejournal.com]

My god, what I wouldn't give for a yacht right now. [ You don't even want to know what Oxford's first theory on the what and where was - safe to say he briefly flirted with the ideas of hostile capture and potential torture, so to a certain extent he can't complain about getting space instead. ] It's almost tempting to try and pretend; at least if we tell ourselves that we're on a yacht, we might be more inclined to believe it.

I've never actually been on one, so you'll have to provide the yachting details. [ jenna's first two thoughts were: another mind game from klaus, or hell. a creepy spaceship is better than those, so far. ] But I can imagine myself in a bikini like an expert.
