driftfleet | Fleetwide Text Post, Action for the Tourist

Who: Chloe Price and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Tourist
When: Around the 12th.

Text Broadcast:

Wanted: Single person for valentine's day.
Requirements: Don't be a little kid, don't be really old, don't be a stick in the mud. Don't mind cigarettes. Don't be a prude.

Details: So I am not sitting alone in my fucking cabin on valentine's day. Or third wheeling it with one of the 'so happy couples' everyone I know seems to have turned into lately.

Rented a pretty nice cabin down on the ringworld because FUCK YES RINGWORLD. Ever notice that even after a year in space there's still shit that can surprise you? I mean, damn, a Ringworld.

Anyway.

Let's see. I'll cook, there'll be booze, a view, place has a lake. Maybe go swimming? Heard of worse things to do on valentine's day.

If we hit it off you'll probably get laid so. Yeah. Date with benefits. Happy endings all around.

Come one, come all. Applications start below.

[Action for the Tourist]

[After her funk over the last few weeks, Chloe has seemed a bit more...up, recently? At least, she's not sitting in her cabin or the lab all day anymore. She's been cooking again, singing along with her music again, just...getting back to normal. Maybe she's feeling better?]

[Or maybe it's a glitch, of course, since she's also way more talkative when people are around. But even if it was, it's better than all the moping and pity-party stuff, yes? She can be found all over the ship really, cooking, working, sometimes exercising..]

Eat ice cream? Get drunk? Be sad? Find someone to hook up with? Make mistakes?

There are lots of options for single people, they just mostly involve doing things, or people, you'll regret in the morning.

No girl, it's a warning.
But if you wanna take it as a challenge, I'm not gonna stop you.

A holiday everyone can't celebrate seems pointless. Can't couples have anniversaries?

[Okay, she snorts at the "doing people" part.]

I don't need a warning. My name is Rey, by the way, and I'd rather you get to know the real me. [Not the glitched version.]

It was made by greeting card companies to get people to spend money on jewelry and flowers.
So it's pretty pointless, except it gets a lot of people laid.
So...not...entirely pointless, I guess.

Alright Rey, I'm Chloe.

You mean instead of the vibrating-in-place you?

...huh. [She's not sure what to make of that, but everyone likes to make a buck.] They should just give out free booze if they want people to get together.

Hey, Chloe.

[And then...]

I got a lot done! But once the glitch wore off, I slept for a day.

The sex is just a side-effect of the money making, not the other way around.

You know. I want to make a joke about the things you could've done while vibrating but it feels too fuckin' easy.

Glad you're back to normal, then?

They should call it the money-making holiday.

Would it have to do with "doing"? [Imagine an oh so wry voice.]

I'm less productive, but I prefer being myself. There's really not much to do on the ship besides repairs lately.

Lots of people already do.

It so does. You could'a been every girl's best friend that day.

I feel that. I mostly end up rearranging shit in the lab all day. At least the ringworld gives us somewhere to go.

I like challenges, but I'm not easy. [Vibrating or not!]

Then let's make the most of it. Wherever you wanna go, we'll go. I've never been drunk either or...done much other than scavenge.

Eh. I've never really liked that way of looking at it.
It's your body. Do what you want with it. Or don't. Nobody gets to judge you for it.

Shit, never been drunk?
Okay. We are fixing that.
You are going to have a hella great fucking valentines.
It's Tuesday by the way.

Then I'm choosing not to be easy. I've never worried much what others think.

No. I was only a child when I was left on Jakku and... I stuck to water there. Getting drunk in a desert is a bad idea.

Where should I meet you?

Whatever works for you.

I've never actually been in the desert, really. Probably would try to get drunk there anyway.

Cabin is at [location]. Come by whenever after like, two on Tuesday I guess.
