friday, november 7th

[skaikru]

( hello hello it's your least favorite hot mess sliding up to the guest services desk and leaning both forearms against the edge of the countertop. temporarily absent, the pointed use of first names. )

Hey Friday, I have a question. It's harmless this time.

[palfriday]

Define "harmless!"

[skaikru]

...you probably won't get mad enough to metaphorically stab me in the heart again.

( "harmless", adjective: not worthy of a canon puncture about atrocities!

p r o b a b l y. )

[palfriday]

Hm... Okay, that sounds fine!

[waiting expectantly]

[skaikru]

( cool, now time to pry with permission! )

What's behind the locked door on Deck Zero?

[palfriday]

The crew cabins!

[skaikru]

Crew as in, the ghosts that clean up our messes and serve our food, and sometimes take over our bodies and make us kill our friends? Do they really need their own cabins.

[palfriday]

Yes!

[which one is that an answer to? both.]

[skaikru]

( hmmmm. helpful and simultaneously not at the same time, so a little more earnestly: )

Can you open the door?

[palfriday]

Nope!

[skaikru]

(




:| )

But you can go into the Captain's quarters. How's this door any different?

[palfriday]

It's exactly the same! After all, I can only go in there when he lets me!

[and y'know sometimes he just locks her out to be funny.]

[skaikru]

( pissy teenager taking it out on his mommy by slamming doors vibes intensify... )

I feel like he should let you go in there now. A bunch of them just revolted, you got possessed, part of the ship caved in. Wouldn't it be important to make sure nothing else weird's going on down there?

[palfriday]

[cocks head] Why? It's not like there's anything important in there!

[skaikru]

( same way there's nothing interesting behind the bridge? )

Then why bother to lock it so securely?

[palfriday]

[there isn't it's just vhs tapes and boning.]

Well, passengers aren't allowed in the crew area!

[skaikru]

( a little blockbuster, a little bone busting and — oh, you know, the erda flow. )

I know it's not the standard, but I'd really like to talk to them.

[palfriday]

Well, that's something I can't really help you with!

[skaikru]

Can't really, or can't at all?

[palfriday]

... [thinks about it for a moment.]

Probably at all!

[skaikru]

Probably's good enough for me. Can we at least go down there and try?

[palfriday]

-- Oh, wait, you think...

No, no, I... was answering entirely separate questions!

[skaikru]

( yanno, she'd promised herself she'd be good and not lose her temper when coming down here, but there's an unbidden flash of aggrieved frustration dancing across her forehead. tinged with confusion though, because — )

...what?

[palfriday]

[a light laugh] If you were interested in talking with a ghost, the crew cabins would be just about the last place you'd want to try!

[skaikru]

( ...huh. )

Where do you recommend I start?
