Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

I suppose if you ever just want a break you could shove a pillowcase over your head.

[/concern. Clearly.]

Nah, light gets through those. I've tried. [ ...Really. He has tried that before, no joke. ]

[What really okay then]

Blindfold? Sleeping mask?

[ LIGHT IS A PROBLEM. ]

Sleeping mask...?

You know. [Or maybe he doesn't.] They're masks designed for humans who are easily disturbed by light at night; keeps it out. Maybe it'd work for you.

[I mean downside, you couldn't see anything, but...]

[ Too late he's already considering it!!! ]

Do you think the next space station will have them....?

It's certainly possible. Or someone on fleet might be able to make you one.

[If he wants one he can find out the hard way.]

But I don't have anything to give them I return if they do... [ He has not yet figured out that their accounts are no longer frozen. ]

[Let your money-hungry captain enlighten you by staring at you funny.]

Seriously? Have you even checked your account lately?

[SHE GOT A WHOLE PILE FOR THAT TWO SECOND NAKED FLASH you have to have got the same]

My...account? [ WHAT ABOUT HIS ACCOUNT he's so used to it being frozen from when he first arrived!! ]

[Oh for--]

Give me your comm. [She stretches a hand over the bar, making grabby motions.]

[ He'll hand it over without a fuss~! And wonder just what she's going to do with it since he doesn't know about communicator banking... ]

[Aight, after giving you a brief look of honestly, Nami taks through keys until she brings up his account balance.

Then she'll hold it up so he can see. THERE'S QUITE A LOT OF MONEY IN THERE, YOU NINJA SNUGGLER.]

See?

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SPACE MONEY TRANSLATES TO OKAY, HE ONLY SEES A LOT OF NUMBERS ]

............

Is all that mine???

Not all of it, no. [She grins cheerfully and takes the thing back.] First there's the money you owe me for Diamond's picture. Plus interest, just like we agreed. And then there's the fee for seeing me naked the other night-- do you want to pay that now or some other time? Plus interest, of course.

Oh...um. I guess now is okay... [ He does very much enjoy his picture of Diamond. PROOF HOTTIES KIDNAPPED THEM TO SPACE. ]

Excellent.

[Scuse her while she transfers a chunk of your savings to her own account. She doesn't take any more than is owed; of course, Nami's definition of what's owed for seeing her naked is pretty hefty. That's what you get for being a creep. :|]

Congratulations. [She tosses the comm back.] Not only are you debt free, you've probably got more money than most other people on the fleet.

[Mainly because OTHER PEOPLE SPEND THEIRS AT SOME POINT.]

But....why?? I got fired from the meat store... [ he doesn't understand the link between space reality TV and money. ]

You get paid for being on TV. Didn't anyone ever tell you?

[You poor soul, so uneducated.]

No.....! I mean, I knew we were on TV but I didn't know it gave us money!

Well, now you do. Think of it as being paid for being forced to stick around. It's like a job.

And....you can't get fired??

They can dock your pay or decide to freeze your account, but no. Unless they send you home again. I guess that's being fired.

I don't wanna get sent home--!

Then be entertaining, I guess. [She gets why he wouldn't, but nobody's got control over that.] But I don't think it's likely. The fact you've earned so much clearly shows you're popular.
