Who: José Ramse and YOU
Broadcast: fleetwide text
Action: the Starstruck
When: now!

Celeste Blackwell went home. At least, I figure that's where they sent her. So much for my plan to be as boring as possible to get sent back.

...

Does anyone here know where I could get sleeping pills or anything like that?


[ Ramse can be found on the bridge of the Starstruck, staring down at the unfortunate moon. He's definitely in a mood. ]

why?

[nostraightlines]

I can't sleep?

[takingkarabusiness]

well, there are probably things you can try before sleeping pills.

have you tried meditation?

[nostraightlines]

...no. You know how?

[ Ah. He had liked her. ]

A query like that is bound to rouse some troubling questions.

[nostraightlines]

Can't a guy just be tired?

[precedented]

Not with that intro.

[passingthrough]

[She's just responding back with video because she can be a jerk like that.] How long are you looking to sleep?

[nostraightlines]

[ He was hoping to avoid that, because he looks a mess. Sob. Oh well, at least it's someone he sort of knows. ]

Hey Kitty. I don't know, until we're off this goddamn moon?

I guess the usual eight hours would do it.

[passingthrough]

[She doesn't mind a mess. She's from a post-apocalyptic warzone and all.] Is the moon making it hard to sleep or Celeste being gone? [Not that it can't be both.]

try the med bay if your ship has one

[nostraightlines]

We do now, actually. It just sort of appeared but I didn't want to go poking around in there not knowing what to take.

[grounds]

then you've got someone with the augment. try asking them.

[ecclesiophobic]

I've heard there's medicine plenty to be found on the moon below. I can look for sleep aids when I go.

[nostraightlines]

Is that right? Thank you. I haven't been down there yet, maybe I should take a trip.

[ecclesiophobic]

Not a problem, I know how it is not to sleep. If you go, don't forget your mask. The air's every bit as horrible as they say. If you're not accustomed to foul air you'll regret it in your first breath.

Mister Ramse. I'm so sorry.

[nostraightlines]

Heh. It reminds me of someone when you say Mister.

I'm sorry too.

[mucked]

Someone good, I hope.

[pneumo]

She went home?! [ But....but :c ]

Re: video

[nostraightlines]

Yeah. [ Ramse doesn't look like he's dealing with it well. ] Sorry, Sascha. She really wanted to go home, though, that's what I keep telling myself.

...Are you gonna be okay?

action because I can

[lord_wizard]

[It's not long after he sees that message that Felix is sticking is head into the doorway of the bridge]

You're not thinking of doing anything dramatic, are you?

[He waves a hand with his communicator in it, in case there might be any doubt as to what he was referring. The sarcasm might be cover for mild concern. Maybe.]

fine by me 8D

[nostraightlines]

...hey.

[ He swivels the chair he's sitting in to look at Felix. ]

No, I'm just looking to get decent sleep. Some guy just said there's lots of medicine down on the moon so I'm going to go see.

[lord_wizard]

Hm. [He understands not sleeping and hesitates over asking the reasons.]

Have you been having this problem for long?
