Since everyone's all about hiring on help these days-- I've got a few things that need doing if there are any bored volunteers. Also a few things on a shopping list if there's anyone that recently arrived with a decent stash

Shopping list is easy: tea, more tea, spices, decent bacon, cigarettes, movies that aren't space knock offs. Watched almost all of those sixteen thousand times each. Though I recommend space Titanic, which is weirdly better than the Leoardo DiCaprio version.

Things that need doing: someone to move something seriously heavy, someone else to make a delivery and pickup.

You'll be paid in space beer or space risotto. Space beer and space risotto is also what we have to trade with for the stuff on the shopping list. And all of it's semi important, especially the tasks. Only slightly less important than the tasks is the cigarettes. [A pause.] And maybe the tea.

Thanks.

[ooc ps - there is totally not a sneaky vampire plot embedded in here, don't worry!!! but if you volunteer for the delivery & pickup it will entail a rifle drop off and maybe some (lots of) lying. be warned.]

[I don't want to kill you, and he actually starts to write that before he stops himself.]

Depends on what you do next.

I am talking to you stupid

Don't play games.

You seem like a smart kid. If you can stay smart you can stay alive. You've learned that by now, hanging around with monsters.

Is that supposed to scare me

I'm not going to waste my time trying to scare you. I'm making you a promise.

If you mean stay away from you you could have said so the first time

It's more than that.

You stay away. But you don't say anything either.

You did not say please.

I didn't because I'm not asking. I'm telling you, this is the way it's going to be. If it happens the way I'm saying it will, it turns out well for all of us. Especially for you.

You are still threatening me.
You are not in a place to threaten me.
You should really learn to ask nicely.

You really think I'm not in a place to threaten you?

I could find you right now. It would take five minutes, maybe ten, and it would be easy. You walked around with monsters. You know how easy it is.

And besides. If you were going to do something you'd have done it.

I already did. [ derek knows. ]
But you would not know of that since you would rather be an arse.
If you do anything to me everyone will know it was you.
You need me alive and safe.

I don't need you at all. There's a thousand things that could happen to you on this ship.

[But is she telling the truth or not? He's got no way of knowing. Warily, he pauses.]

Are you saying I should thank you and ask you nicely to keep it up or are you suggesting a trade.

I will not tell anyone else
you will stop threatening me, stop wanting to do anything to me and you do not go looking for me
You make your own stupid waffles too.
Do you think you can do that?

[There's another pause, this one a little longer.]

I already don't want anything to do with you.

You will not have to.

And that's all you want?

Yes

Fine.

[It's a small ship, even though it's large. They might end up in the same hallway again. They won't, and he tries to make himself believe that, like will is going to be enough.]

But you've got to tell me who you told.

That was not part of the deal.
I do not have to say.

I get some say in this too. If you're going around telling people about me I get to know that.

So you can go after him first?
Not part of the deal.
This is all you are getting.

I'm not going to go after him. I don't want to go after anyone. I'll swear on anything but I have to know. We can make a new deal, I'll give you whatever you want. I just have to know.

[a pause, before he adds:] Please.

[ she's not giving up that leverage. ]

You will have to trust me.
Else we cannot make a deal at all.

[Then this won't be over. If she's told someone, then he has to know who that is, so he can do what needs to be done--if anything needs to be done. There can't be a loose end out there. If she won't give up the information, then he can't leave her alone, he can't ignore her, like she's asked, and he starts to write that, as his anger swings back into place and begins to consume him--angry that she's holding out, angry that she knows, that he was stupid enough to slip up in the first place--angry that she's got leverage over him and that she's using it, she has no idea of who she's dealing with, she should be fucking scared of him--he should go and find her, fuck this game, he should find her--

No. He stops himself. He holds tight to the device, staring at her refusal. He can't. He has to play this carefully. If she wants to play, then they'll play.]

All right.
