So— let me get this straight.
[ Veronica looks sweaty because, you know, apparently the Tranquility believes it's in the tropics in space. She makes a face, wiping her brow with the back of her hand. ]
My laptop, somehow, needs to get recharged. My camera seems to be busted, because it's either that, or everyone has seven days to live, and I'm trying this thing called optimism. I'm all out of crosswords, this is not the vacation that I signed up for, and apparently there is a big giant monster only some people can see that wants to kill us. [ That, and people here either seem to spend their time drunk as hell or being big mystical beings who do mystic things. (Veronica is not worried. Veronica is not worried because Veronica has accepted that this is, like, at least 81% real, and by that juncture the rest of it is just— you roll with the punches. You adapt. You try really, really hard to distract yourself by doing literally any job that falls into your lap.)
That's her. Veronica Mars, modern college girl on the go: the sequel.
In space. ]
I'm already helping Edgeworth, but if anyone wants me to do an odd job, point me in that direction. You'd be doing me a favor — it's better than just sitting around, trying to deal with the fact I really should have listened more to my AP Physics teacher when he talked about string theory. And, uh—
[ She pauses, her nose wrinkling. ]
I've never— This— whole inter-dimensional science fiction thing? Is new to me. So if there's some kind of, cultural, verbal address that would be more polite when it comes to people who aren't— humanesque, I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in.
[ God, how is this real. Still hallucinating? Maybe. It's definitely hot enough to be. ]

The carbine might be a little much, but I've a couple others that have less of a kick to 'em. If you're interested -- and in case of an emergency, if you feel like you'd need somethin' stronger than an electric shock to aid you.

What— does that mean, exactly?

He figures he can do without one, at least.]
You promise you'll use it properly, then you can have one. Or just borrow it, if that makes you more comfortable with the notion.
[Either way it's just an offer. She can say no and Booker won't take offense.]
video;
Yeah. Yeah, if that'd— be okay. [ And then, trying to muster up something a little more blithe, closer to her usual attitude: ] Girl scout's honor.
video;
Good enough.
[In that case!]
Since I reckon the mauser's a little... outdated for someone like yourself [he's kind of fond of it...], you can take your pick of any of the others. [Barring the carbine, of course, but that was stated earlier. He just has a mental image of her firing that and getting tossed back -- but he's polite enough for now to not say that much.] Come on by whenever it's convenient for you.

[ And look at that. Mr. Clint Eastwood can smile.
Putting on that terrible Western accent again: ]
I'll be seein' ya, pilgrum.

My number's twenty-five, fourteen. [just reiterating so it isn't forgotten!] I'll see you later then, Miss Mars.
