first history lesson ◈ [ video ]
[ if anyone is paying attention, alaric happens to be in the oxygen garden, but unlike some people he's not even remotely smoking a single thing, instead he appears to have a bag of some plant (that to some might look like pot, but to those from his canon it's rather obvious that it's vervain). he rubs at his chin thoughtfully for a moment before he says anything. ]
This is actually the first time I've been on this part of the ship and I've been here since the first jump. It's probably because I never felt like planting anything, but now I actually feel like I should. It'll make the plants a bit more varied, I suppose. I have to ask though, has anyone else thought to plant anything?
Or am I just going to be the guy who plants something and if something manages to go wrong with the oxygen, I'm going to be blamed? [ a beat. ] For the record, I'm pretty sure it would be fine regardless, but preemptive asking and warning people never killed anyone.

Remember when I said we needed more vervain? Apparently there was a lot more in my locker after the latest jump. Enough to plant some and maybe make it so Katherine is a bit out of luck.

[ guilt is the dumbest emotion, jenna. so are a lot of them. can't they just skip this and be stupid again. ric might like that.
it's what makes ric drag this out longer. if she was angry or something he'd push himself to do more, but she just understands and he doesn't try to hurry things along.
he laughs at that comment. ] I didn't even fully think about them revolting. I just figured everyone would ask why random hypothetical compelled person was digging up the plants and maybe trying to kill us all with that. But the smokers would kill her. And I'd provide the stakes. [ yeah, sorry jenna, he'll grin if he wants to. ] Would you be mad if I brought the notes? There's some interesting stuff in here, to be honest.

[ god, she'd love to be stupid again. love it.
...fuck this maturity crap, what even. ]
Can you imagine what they'd do to the person who killed all the tobacco? It wouldn't matter that she's a vampire, just that all nicotine fixes will have to be cancelled. [ at his smile her own grows, until she can't hold it back anymore. ] Can I say her handwriting implies a bent towards horrible life choices and abandoning the best man I've ever met?

[ stupidity is so much fun sometimes, really.
maturity is for losers and people who talk about their feelings. ]
I can imagine that it'd be like a gladiator fight. Possibly broadcasted and just everyone falling on top of her screaming angrily. But then again, that might just be the guy who likes poetic justice in me talking. [ ric just stares before laughing. ] I wouldn't call myself the best, but hey, I'm not the psychology student here, for all I know that's accurate.

[ god, it would be. does the stupid come with more regular, potentially marathon-style sex? jenna is only saying.
fuck those people, god. ]
I'd watch. I'd record it, and show it at every party I ever have again. [ taking a little bow. ] I knew the humanities would let me win arguments someday.
video ; locked
[ yes, it does. also maybe biting who even knows man. ric would maybe be down with that.
they just need to be tossed out of airlock. ]
Can we make a short film out of it? Or do you think she'll come back a zombie and attack us? [ he laughs. ] It's a little known fact about the humanities, we silently win the smallest of arguments just by being humanities majors. Why do you think I'm a history teacher?
