Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
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!]

No, only a couple of idiots can.

[oh how she misses the apocalypse. Sad sigh]

... Must depend on the apocalypse, I guess.

Oh, probably. The world is on the brink of ending at least once a year, back home.

... It was only once, for us, but... It was a thorough one.

[she has actually grown enough tact to not say 'o wow you must have had shitty apocalypses then']

Those tend to be the worst.

[they have to end every season somehow, ok]

Yeah. I noticed.

[okay, yeah, she's just downing the rest of her drink in one go. this conversation got depressing again.]

[oops, and she wasn't even aiming for that. Meg makes a considering noise into her own beer, before:]

Anyway, I'm done with all of that. As much as I'm going to get the evil eyes from dumb and dumber, I'm all about enjoying my space afterlife.

... These places aren't permanent, though.

I know. [she'd be foolish to expect it to be anything but] That won't stop me from enjoying myself. It isn't every day you get a second chance - and especially not a second chance that lets me make all kinds of stupid jokes.

That's true.

...And you're alive here. There's always the chance to go back to someone else's world, or something. Stay alive that way.

It's an idea. I do like finding ways to stay alive. I could be considered a pro by now - recent death not withstanding.

Even a pro can make a mistake from time to time, right?

They can - I've certainly made one or two in the past.

Only one or two? That's impressive.

Big ones, at least. I was exorcised once. That sort of blew a hole in the side of me stellar and unblemished record.

Exorcism isn't my kind of magic... How does that work for you?

It pretty much rips me out of my host and sends me packing back to Hell. It hurts like a bitch.

Back up to the part about a 'host'.

[here we go]

I'm possessing someone. Or - I should say I was, and they've long since passed on from the world, so technically this is my body now.

... You can probably guess what I'm wondering right now, right?

[HER FACE MAKES IT PRETTY OBVIOUS]

Is it if I prefer blondes or brunettes? Because it's the latter.

[sorry did you want a serious answer]

I'm heartbroken, now what the fuck did you mean by 'passed on from the world', or 'your body now'.

[she sighs. No one appreciates her human]

What I mean is that the original owner of this body died and their soul went to Heaven. And I'm fond of this one, so I've kept it in one piece since.

Died before or after you possessed?

After. Not on purpose, mind you. [a pause, as she takes a drink of her beer] I was pushed into holy fire; that's when she died, I think.

Humans can survive a possession, though. As long as the body's still in one piece when we leave.
