Video // Action Windrose

[i_got_this]

Who: South Dakota and You!
Broadcast: Network wide
Action: Windrose
When: Today

[Feed opens to show her mildly pissed face as she kicks it back at the Windrose's comms station. Pissed as in 'angry that she got booted and didn't een get to go anywhere cooler before getting yanked back'.]

Back by popular demand, bitches. And apparently Atroma still sucks at ship names; I'm not anymore impressed with this one. If there's booze here, though, I might change my mind.

[Otherwise she might have to put in for a transfer; she had liked living on a ship with a barkeep.]

[Encrypted to Crowley]

You didn't replace me at the bar, did you? [In the most you better not have she's got.]

I never know whether to be worried when people leave. But I'm glad you're safe. [ Even if this world leaves things to be desired. ]

Were you sent back where you came from while you were gone?

Re: video;

[i_got_this]

No, fortunately. Not this time.

[The thought of home deflates her slightly and she grows a little sullen in response, allowing a moment to think about York and Carolina and whether they were still living it out in the wilderness.]

So, did I miss anything interesting?

[bothbarrels]

Nothing new, really. Just the fallout of what was going on before. I thought you'd gotten lost on the space station at first when you were gone.

Re: video;

[i_got_this]

Man, I could have been, right? It's pretty impressive. Kinda makes you think about intentionally getting lost in it. [Not that she would; she's got Crpowley and alcohol here, she's really all set.]

[ Hey there, shipmate. Dean's in the Windrose's kitchen, if the background of his video is any indication. He's sitting at the table with a cup in his hand. ]

I'm not looking to change your mind. The name blows. [HA] ...But I'll share a drink with you.

[ Money's too tight to be buying people drinks, but he's paying for information, as he sees it. It's got nothing to do with how she looks, either, or the familiar attitude. Nope. Strictly business here. ]

Re: video; private

[i_got_this]

Hey, I'll take what I can get. [She shuts off the feed and a few minutes later she's making her way to the kitchen. Totally didn't get lost. Nope. She takes a seat across from him and leans on the table.]

What you got for me?

[familyremains]

[ Doesn't matter how long she takes. Day after Valentine's means Dean's happy to stay home and recover from the massive hangover he's got with more than a little hair of the dog. When she shows up, Dean raises his chin and smiles, mouth closed, to greet her. ]

Whiskey.

[ He answers straight, picks up the cup across from his own and sets it a little closer to the edge of the table for her to take. The bottle's on his side of the table, amber liquid like it should be, but no label on it. ]

It's all I've got, unless you want something that makes your bones glow and tastes like it was bottled straight from a sewer.

[ If she wants to turn it down then hey, that's more for him, and it still gets her talking. That's the theory, anyway. ]

[i_got_this]

[She smiles wide to hear he's got the good stuff for her, and plops down in a seat before inspecting the offered drink. Mostly it's to see how pretty it is, but there's some lingering distrust hammered in by the Project.]

You sure know the way to a girl's heart. [She throws it down in one go, wincing at the burn, and reaches for the bottle to pour another shot.] I'm not too picky but this'll do for the mean time.

[familyremains]

Yeah, you're welcome.

[ He lets her pour a second, nursing his own cup. But if she thinks she's going to be downing half the bottle with him, she's got another thing coming. For now, though... Yeah, sure, she can help herself. ]

I'm Dean. Just got here a couple weeks ago. ...From the way you were talking, this isn't your first rodeo. So where exactly are you back from?

[ Maybe he's being nosy right off the bat, but good whiskey ain't free, and he plans to get what he's paying for before she drinks it all or changes her mind. ]

[She remembers. Thanks, Atroma, for not being a piece of shit about this. His reply is idle and bored, but he really is so very, very glad she hasn't forgotten. ]

'Course not. You're a month late for work by the way.

[Welcome back, South. ]

Re: video; private

[i_got_this]

[It's good to be back.]

Yeah, like I care about perfect attendance. I'm just glad to hear you're still in business. [Tease, tease ...]

video; private

[onlyanapple]

Well, that much is obvious. Tsk.

The dwarf hasn't run me out of the Iskaulit just yet.

Re: video; private

[i_got_this]

Not for a lack of trying, I hope? [Smirk,] He seems to know his stuff. You're pretty evenly matched in the beers department.

[namisan]

...I'd say 'welcome back', but I'm not sure that's appropriate. My condolences?

[i_got_this]

Heh, thanks. You can really console me by buying me a drink.

[namisan]

I think that can be arranged. I'm on shift tonight in any case, so you wanna drop by, feel free.

Action

[i_got_this]

Yeah, totally.

[And she'll be there. She makes a face at the guy taking her regular seat and slide into the one next to him.] Nami! Hit me. What you got?

[passingthrough]

[Kitty recognizes that ship in the background largely because she's also on it. Interesting.]

If you mean the Windrose it does sound like it should be the name of something in a cheesy romance.

[i_got_this]

Guh, right? It sounds so ... hippy dippy.

[passingthrough]

There are a couple of worse options. You could be a proud member of Wonderduck. [She's eventually going to piss someone from that ship off with these quips.]

[i_got_this]

Ugh that's true. I'm trying to decide if it's a step up from Tourist or not.

[eyeforaneye]

Are we all meant to know who you are?

[text]

[i_got_this]

well duh [At least, it would have been nice.]

South Dakota. I was here before, and before that I was at a magic castle, and I come from Hell in Space. Any questions?

[text]

[eyeforaneye]

[ ... well, I mean, since she's offered. ]

Yes, several. First, by "magic castle" do you mean Paradisa?

[text]

[i_got_this]

The one and only. You too?
