[ well, well, it's miss irene adler the elder. or perhaps the first. who knows quite how to make the distinctions here. and she's smoking a...pipe? those in the know will recognize it as belonging to one sherlock holmes, circa the victorian era. irene looks rather smug. ]

It seems we've had a number of extremely interesting new arrivals. Please, do get comfortable. If my experience is any indication, you'll be here for a few months at the least.

[ there's a pause, while she blows a perfect smoke ring. ]

The being said, is anyone in the possession of tobacco? I seem to be running low.

[In his time here Netherlands has noticed that, generally, people asking for shit on the network offer something in return - at the very least imply it.

This woman doesn't. On the one hand, it's interesting, and on the other hand, he's not really sure if he wants to bother. So he keeps all relevant paraphernalia out of sight of the video screen when he answers, though his voice is as flat as it ever is.]

I take it you're tryin' to fix that.

[jilt]

Such an astute observation. Are you going to help me do so?

[handelaar]

I dunno. Should I?

[jilt]

Well, yes.

[ as if she would say anything else. ]

[notmydiagnosis]

Perhaps there's something in the oxygen garden?

[jilt]

I admit, I've not visited it in all my stay here. Do you really think it shall be helpful?

[notmydiagnosis]

It has quite a large number of plants.

[ The perfect ingredients. ]

I can't say I noticed tobacco, but I'm by no means a gardener.

[unparental]

Lung cancer alley's always a safe bet.

[ she means the oxygen gardens. related: hypocrite alert, little miss burnout. ]

[jilt]

[ cancer what sort of newfangled thing... ]

I'll have to take your word for it then.

[unparental]

[ cancer is bad man :( very bad. ]

Sorry, I meant the oxygen gardens-- it's our version of the campus smokers' pavilion. I'm sure someone there has some to trade.

[ if it wasn't for the fact the woman said tobacco, quinn would have ignored the video. she's down to two cigarettes, and while the tiny voice of reason at the back of her head is telling her to quit, she ignores it. ]

I was wondering the same thing. I'm down to two cigarettes.

[ video ]

[jilt]

There was a boy on this network only a few days ago looking for a lighter. I'm sure he'd trade you a few of his cigarettes in exchange for its use.

[ video ]

[cheerioless]

Oh. [ quinn raises an eyebrow. ] Good to know, I'll have to see if I can track him down.

I'm Quinn by the way, I don't think we've met.

Video, WOW, REPLYING TO THE RIGHT IRENE THIS TIME JESUS CHRIST /o\

[edle_gestalt]

Sometimes the ship makes stops at stations. There are people designated to run errands at th stations and they take item requests. Unfortunately, I have long since run out of cigarettes since the last stop.

[He raises his brow, a thought occurring to him.] I do wonder if there is any tobacco in the oxygen gardens. Never thought to look.

Video, LFALKDG REPLY TO *ALL* THE IRENES

[jilt]

Item requests. I do have quite a list to submit, one more item wouldn't hurt.

Nor had I. But it can't hurt.

[edle_gestalt]

It's funny, I've spent a good deal of time in the gardens, but usually near the flowers that are usually in the mountains. It's never the same.

Maybe I'll care less if I can find the tobacco.

[[ooc: srsly I looked at both earlier in the day, figured I'd get back to them, and then I ended up combining the two and I thought the other was also asking for tobacco. And posted with this reply to the other, while still reacting to the other's half-nakedness. ARGH]]

I'm sorry I cannot provide you with any tobacco-- though you've got me curious. [ He pauses for a moment, orienting himself before deciding to offer a greeting before he began questioning her. ] I'm Charles Xavier-- one of the aforementioned new arrivals, and I'm curious just how long you've been here?

[jilt]

Two months, give or take. I'd lost track of the exact day, unfortunately.

Why do you ask?

[butwedonot]

I've just heard varying stories about the amount of time and arrival of people amongst the ships... passengers, and I'm trying to compile a proper theory on the presence of so many unrelated people.

find yourself some seeds and i'll get you a pot

maybe even soil

[jilt]

I've never been all that good at gardening, I'm afriad.

text forever >[

[target]

maybe it's time to learn

or find a new habit

[saidhe]

That's not-

[ Yours, which goes entirely without saying; in fact, he's reduced to such indignation that all that comes out is a strangled sort of noise and abject throat-clearing. ]

I'd like it back, please.

[jilt]

You'll have it back.

[ when i'm finished, comes the unspoken addendum. ]

[saidhe]

Yes, I'll absolutely have it back. How did you-

No, don't; it only counts if I figure it out. No- Woman. There's a particular way you pack in the tobacco and I'm absolutely positive you're going to do it in a dreadful manner. It's my only pipe.
