[welcome to the Red Fish, the ship that always looks ready for Halloween anyway.

while today is a popular Earth holiday, it's also Zhas' birthday, and he has probably mentioned it to everyone on board in an unsubtle way over the last few weeks. there are a hilarious number of jack-o-lanterns around the ship, showing off skull-face carvings of... varying quality. thanks, Syeira!

what's in store on this spooky night? HILARITY, probably.]

She's not my friend.

[The answer is quick and pointed. The doll's not anything except what she wants her to be. Confidant. Support system. Puppet. The doll can't be her friend when she's her. It's there, across her skirt in big blocky letters. Asuka.]

I just keep her around.

[The lie's pretty weak, given the amount of alcohol swimming through her system. She looks at Zhas, suddenly vaguely wary.] What? Are you gonna tease me again?

[theboogieman]

[that wariness again... the chance of conflict sends his gaze up to the ceiling, has him shoving his hands safely in his pockets.]

Mmo-- M'not supposed to tease girls.

[though that first noise, for a half of a second, could have turned into "momma". that's how you know he's had too much to drink.]

Didn't think you had that many manners. [Asuka's speech isn't exactly slurred, but neither does it have its usual impatient, high cadence, shrill as a piccolo.]

I'm too old for that crap anyway. [Too old for everything. What's thirty going to look like? What's forty? It's incredibly selfish, though, to consider her own birthday on the day of someone else's. Well, whatever.] Way too old. It sucks.
