Who: Nova & u
Broadcast: fleet-wide
Action: on First Breath
When: Maintenant!

[ the video feed comes on and Nova is in the kitchen on First Breath. Her communicator is on the table in front of her and she's looking at it, chin on her hands. She looks... bored. Exhausted of being bored. ]

I'm not going to say we aren't well-equipped here, but does anyone have any actually real meat? That hasn't been pre-chewed? If I have to have another of these genuine canned meat products...

Anyway, we can probably barter something. Like I said, we're well-equipped.

[ she turns her communicator around the kitchen so people can see the spice rack and fancy extras they have. Though, it might be noted, it's not like she cleared this with any of her fellow crewmen... ]

[Remus looks far more exhausted than the last time they spoke.]

I'll most definitely barter with you for a share if you find some. I don't even like meat all that much at home, you'd think it'd be sweets I was craving more, but here I am missing steak.

[takeabow]

I made the mistake of remembering lamb exists the other day.

You look awful, by the way.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He actually lets out a despairing little noise. It isn't that bad, he's gone without before, but still. He misses chewing.]

Cheers. I find traveling in a metal hull surrounded by the void of space off-putting for sleep, for some reason.

[takeabow]

Yeah, me too. It hasn't been as bad for me lately, but it's not good. There's too much noise.

It's times like this I'm glad I was stuck with the crap I had for most of my life. A lot of this stuff is pretty good in comparison.

[There's probably a teasing smile going on now.]

[takeabow]

You won't feel that way when I manage to get my hands on some real, non-mutant rabbits.

[grounds]

Hey, in my defense we never actually saw mutant rabbits. Just the deer. And horses. [A pause.] Okay, no rabbits yet.

Plus, you know you'd be sharing anyway.

[frigidaire]

You think people have actual meat? Not sure what I can barter with, I'm new to my ship, but...

[ he's crafty and maybe a little devious if he needs to be. ]

[takeabow]

If anyone got any on-planet somewhere, they'd've been smart to preserve it. So yeah, it's possibility.

[frigidaire]

Solid food would be good. Bird Dave can make doritos that taste like the real thing. The cheese is a little weird, though.

Action

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa enters the kitchen for a meal. It's been a few months now and while it's become second nature, there's always a part of her that marvels of the convenience of it all.]

[She tilts her head at Nova,] Everything alright?

[takeabow]

Yeah, just fine.

You're not hiding any rabbit jerky around here, are you?

[kill_switch]

Not really a need, is there?

[evildetector]

[ he's texting 'cause he's lazy and in his room... ]

id be a little afraid to eat any space meat
we might have to wait will we find a planet again

[takeabow]

i dont see how its different from canned meat product... all of it is weird

[evildetector]

maybe we can form a hunting party the next time we land

Video

[alwayscomeback]

We usually have a lot of it, but it's been a while since we were on a planet, so our stocks are really low.

But I can make you a freezer to keep on your ship, if you like. So once we get fresh meat again, you can store it for yourselves.

[He'll help a fellow meat eater. ]

[takeabow]

Oh. Yeah, that could be good? I guess if preserving supplies are low...

[alwayscomeback]

They can be, if it's a while between planets with meat on. Or animals that we can hunt for meat.

But hey, I'll help the cause. We're all in this together, right?

Vision's I Can't Believe it's Not Bacon Jerky isn't bad, if you don't know where it came from.

Re: voice

[takeabow]

Where did it come from?

Re: voice

[tothefly]

A growth tank.

video.

[truthvalue]

[Nova ... why this. Well, at least Souji has a sense of humor about it; he isn't remotely mad.]

Do I need to start bolting things down when I leave the kitchen?

[takeabow]

I'll be good.

[ promise... ]

Also I'm pretty sure the laziest boys live on this ship. I'm down the hall, you know.

[truthvalue]

I know. Did you get any offers?
