Ship - Tranquility - I have a bit of a crisis-

So I need everyone to stop a moment and think very hard, and I mean incredibly hard, about this, because forget the bloody temperature and the mess with all that and everything else because, well.

...I've run out of tea.

Proper tea, not the space tea that tastes like the stuff you get from the blank boxes that they sell at the Co-op. Or worse, the off-stuff from Tescos.

Does anyone have real tea?

[invisibilitea]

This is tea, Aidan, there is a process, otherwise I may as well just brew the space tea that tastes like acid.

[civilwarring]

Well I'm not saying it'd be exactly the same--

[invisibilitea]

I think it's rather not the same at all.

[civilwarring]

Okay, fair enough. Maybe there's something you can blend in with the acid tea to make it less... likely to melt your internal organs?

[invisibilitea]

Would you like to be my test subject?

[civilwarring]

[No.]

Sure.

[invisibilitea]

I won't add any...you know. Iron.

[civilwarring]

Or garlic.

[Though he doesn't know why anyone would put either of those things in tea.]

[invisibilitea]

You're allergic to garlic?

[civilwarring]

It's not and allergy, exactly. More just--

[A pause.]

It makes my anemia more obvious.

[invisibilitea]

...really?

[civilwarring]

Yes really.

[invisibilitea]

Do you sunburn easily, as well?

[civilwarring]

Most people call it photosensitive, but yes.

[Wow Annie, wow.]

[invisibilitea]

I didn't know there was a word for it!

[civilwarring]

Well now you know. --Not that it's really a problem here.

[invisibilitea]

No, I suppose it isn't.

[Pause.]

But you, ah.

Well, I mean, when you get your hair done, you can, you know.

See how it turns out.

[Oh my god.]

[civilwarring]

[It takes him a full second or two.]

Wha-- oh. Yeah. Yeah, I can.

[When the mirrors aren't being all The Ring anyway.]

[invisibilitea]

Oh, and home movies?

[civilwarring]

[Uh.]

Sure, I guess.

[invisibilitea]

Oh.

Good.

[Things that are different. Everything.]

[civilwarring]

[Cue a momentary awkward silence because home videos. After a few seconds, Aidan clears his throat.]

Alright, well. Let me know. --If you need a lab rat to taste test.

not here
