[Fortescue is used to losing a little time here and there. That's the life of someone who drinks heavily. But coming back to herself in a part of the ship she's never been in? While sober? That's different. She's about to chalk it off to the ache in her healing right knee that's been bothering her — maybe she's back to the woozy part of her injury — but then she spots something that doesn't really fit the decor of the ship. Something painted, angry and red, and she decides to get back to a part of the ship she recognizes.

A bar, more specifically. Because suddenly she really, really needs a drink. And to sit down, because her knee is back to shooting pains up her leg. She downs half of the drink quickly — barely paying attention to what it is — before she pulls her comm out. Jazz is spends the time prowling the bar, the slim black cat stopping occasionally to sniff interesting objects.]

So who's the madcap artist having a bit of fun?

[It had been interesting. She'll give it that.]

While this place could use some livening up, I'm not sure that disturbing painting really sends off the right vibes. Much like those smiley faces.

I see your winky face and raise you a tut tut.

If that's what physical sciences is, I missed out in school.

anyway dont be disappointed we havent actually got any disembodied arms reaching for anyone
bodied arms reaching by consent only

though i hear theres an individual with questionable taste but the ability to create armgloves

[blackmagus]

[Well, that's different.]

I'll contain my disappointment, don't worry.

Are we talking fancy elbow-length gloves or literally gloves made out of arms? Just to be clear.

text;

[doggedly]

literal gloves for arms
might not be worth it
questionable sources yknow

i mean i could get you the other sort of gloves

text;

[blackmagus]

[blackmagus]

[She chuckles, although softly when she considers all of this being connected...]

Then I need to track down a permanent marker. It's a shame we don't have any sticky googly eyes around here.

Comically massive, definitely.

I'll be there. Black cat. Hard to miss.

[If she does say so herself. But mostly, she means the cat, because he's a great identifying marker as he follows her around everywhere.]
