[If it weren't for Crabb and Ava's reluctance to speak to Jenny, she wouldn't be swallowing her own. But since Friday has bailed to the other side, they need information, and Jenny might be able to offer it. If the goddess is so inclined.
So she finds Jenny wherever she may happen to be on this day.]
I'd say you are lucky on the drinking part, but dead family and of course being here isn't really lucky in any way.
[She looks down, considering.]
Do you think your brothers can come back as they were?
I know they are currently ghosts, and I know they can be summoned to an extent. But what appeared was less of an individual and more of a starving beast.
[Valdis resolves to blame Pratt if Jenny asks who it was.]
One of the other passengers tried to coax your brother's ghost into a corpse another passenger found. From what I understand, he manifested, ate the body and then said he wanted to play before...vanishing again.
There's different types of ghosts. Normal ones you use to fuel the machine. Stronger ones you've built the machine with. Think those might be the dangerous ones, but...
... There is one thing she's always been... weird about. Now, I do not pretend to be some sort of clever magician, but I like to think I have basic common sense. And what I always wondered was, if this whole place was built on ghosts, who the fuck was first?
Heh. She doesn't get any better at answering questions after you kiss her, if you ever considered that option.
Well, I assumed they were symbols that drew power from somewhere.
[Then the sigils Crabb smudged might not have been placed by the Captain, or at least were not fueled by him. Though, perhaps that other ghost, the other soul, is what powered them. But if the sigils kept it at bay, then...
Always more questions than answers.]
How did you learn them? Or are they often used where you are from originally?

Jenny
So she finds Jenny wherever she may happen to be on this day.]
May I have a moment of your time?
no subject
she's at Friday's desk, actually.]
... I mean. Yeah. That's the point.
no subject
Not that she approves of someone taking Friday's place.]
I heard you gained your freedom some time ago by greatly reducing the population of the Eterna, even your brothers weren't spared.
Was freedom the only thing you received in that deal?

then, her expression darkens further.]
That wasn't my brother.
no subject
Who was it?
no subject
[crosses arms]
My brothers are, to a man, lunks. The word "play" is not in their vocabulary, unless they couldn't manage to add on "with your tits" in time.
no subject
[So no way of knowing for sure. She'll still need to let Ava know, it could be much worse than they would care to admit.]
Have you been able to communicate with your brothers at all since coming back to the Eterna?
no subject
no subject
[Down in the Nothing as opposed to deep in the Nothing. Maybe the Captain pulled a little from religious myth after all]

Friday seemed worried about them getting loose...and eating people.

no subject
I did not actually consider that as an option.
Was it you or one of your brothers that tested that out?
no subject
The boys knew she was my girl right from the start. They wouldn't dream of it.
no subject
[Makes her wonder what Jenny actually kissed considering Friday doesn't really have a face.]
Anything you can tell me about sigils?
