001 | Video | Everything A Big Bad Wolf Could Want
[Ruby's in the kitchen, nursing a cup of coffee. She looks tired, though not overly so. Adapting to life on board isn't going all that great for her - but thank whatever deity you want to insert here for coffee, because Ruby is just going to survive on that. Hey, Grenny pestered her with early morning diner shifts often enough, and Ruby isn't ashamed to admit that she's addicted. Doesn't mean she's gonna kick the habit anytime soon. She smiles at the camera, friendly as always.]
Hey guys. Ruby here, for those I haven't met yet. Pleasure to meet you, not pleased about the weird circumstances, you know how it goes.
Two things... first of all. I gather I'm not the only one hallucinating. Or... having dreams. Memories. I'm not awake enough to puzzle that out. Is this some sort of... group hallucination, and what's so interesting about two people talking about how hot some prisoner is, anyway? Do I need to be concerned? Do I need to... I don't know, do anything about this, report it to anyone?
[She rubs a face down her hands, smiles, because all this sounds insane, but it seems to be common practice here.]
Second thing... well. I was wondering. I'll admit, I'm not the brightest bulb to ever light the room. So... we're in space. And I was just wondering, if you were. Say. Sensitive to the moon.
[Yeah, this is harder than she'd thought. Crap. Ruby takes a long sip of her coffee, a little too hot for comfort, but the burn is quite welcome right now. She can't exactly go saying that she's a werewolf and very likely to kill anything that moves in front of her during three months a night, because she doesn't think she'll be in control of the wolf after not transforming for a whooping 28 years, plus she doesn't have the magical cloak that'll prevent the transformation - yeah, that's not gonna get her pushed out of an air lock at all. She's had enough angry mobs after her in her own time.]
Are we in any way affected by moon cycles, given that we... well. Have no... moon of our own?
[Yeah, it sounds even more stupid when she says it out loud, but does the truth of her little problem really sound any less stupid?]

[Very badly.]

[Ruby huffs a laugh, plays with a strand of her hair absent-mindedly.]
You could say I'm not myself.

[Seriously, is that just normal business on this ship?
Ruby's baffled.]

[Kind of the rightful rulers of the whole place. Maybe she got a little more than just lucky in that regard.]

Well considering we're all from different worlds, I figure just because things like that are fictional where I'm from doesn't mean it can't exist elsewhere.

[No surprise there. Ruby sucks at most things.]
Admirable attitude to the whole concept, though.

[she smiles at that] Ah, you think so? Hopefully I'm not the only one who sees it that way but thank you.

Ah— my name is Chuck, by the way.

And I might? Depends on what you want to know, though I can't guarantee it's accurate at all.
