Who: Sara
Broadcast: Video!
Action: On the Marsiva // The Twin Roses
When: Now!

[ The feed starts with Sara adjusting the camera and pursing her lips, then flashing a waxy smile that doesn't go anywhere near her eyes ]

Hi, so, I'm going to need you to go ahead and let me out of here and return me to my ship. I mean, we could do this the long way, but you really, really won't like that. It will be long. And painful. Possibly over days. The thing I'm going to assume you didn't realize about me before you decided to make this incredibly idiotic move is that I don't take kindly to cages. They're not really my thing, and I have a particular prejudice against the people who want to put me in them.

But hey.

[ She puts her hands up in a conciliatory manner ]

Maybe I'm reading this entire situation the wrong way. Just come and get me, we'll talk, and I won't even break your fingers for it. Promise.

Okay? Okay. Chop chop!

[ She rolls her eyes, sighs, and switches off the camera ]

****

[ some time later, Sara shows up in a burst of confetti on The Twin Roses. Hi friends! ]

That's basically the mantra I live by. [The gardens of the cargo bay are fairly impressive. Much of it is built to utilize vertical space with apparently no thought put in to how to reach that space if you can't fly, float, air walk or climb walls but since they have that covered they don't worry too much about it. There are some containers down at ground level, but the canopy above is more impressive.]

We have bacon-flavored kelp. Try not to be too excited about it.

[sassy_assassin]

What about actual bacon? Because I'll eat bacon, and I'll eat kelp, but I don't think I'm sold on bacon-flavored kelp.

[passingthrough]

You can find cured meats sometimes, but it's probably never technically bacon. Most of their animals are at least a little different.

[sassy_assassin]

[ she makes a face of disgust ]

Ew.

[passingthrough]

Oh, you're going to have to get over that unless you want to learn to love protein gels and wheat solids.

[sassy_assassin]

It just sounds weird.

[passingthrough]

Unlike everything else that's come up in this conversation?

[sassy_assassin]

I've dealt with a lot of weird shit. It tends to be weird Earth shit but every once in awhile it expands. But I hardly eat in the middle of an alien-induced hallucination, you know?

[passingthrough]

Not really. I'm a big eater. [She definitely has her times when she doesn't, but she also has Zari times.] I'm sure you'll figure it out. Come on, I'll show you the rooms. We have a few empties. They're small, but we're as upgraded as you can get on them.

[sassy_assassin]

Fair enough.

And I'm sure the room's fine. I don't need much.

[passingthrough]

You'll have exactly that. [Not much.] Oh, and bathrooms are kind of communal.

[sassy_assassin]

There's more than one?

[passingthrough]

There's more than one stall in the room. Shower and other.

[sassy_assassin]

I'll take it, especially if no one spends an hour doing their hair.

[passingthrough]

Well, it won't be me or Makie, but the guys might. I still don't know what kind of deal with the devil Vash made to get his hair to do what it does.

[sassy_assassin]

The guys are the worst! Nate in particular practically sculpts his hair on my ship.

[passingthrough]

He's one of your well meaning idiots?

[sassy_assassin]

Yeah. He's a good guy, as far as bros go.

[passingthrough]

Sounds like they all are. I can't say the separation thing is easy.

[sassy_assassin]

I don't have a long history of being on a team, so I'm not too worried.

[passingthrough]

No? Kind of a loner?

[sassy_assassin]

Assassins don't regularly run in packs.

[passingthrough]

[Just leagues?]

I was part of a team, but the assassinations were usually solo, yeah.

[sassy_assassin]

Plus, everyone I knew from home thought I was dead, so.

[passingthrough]

I'd call it another similarity, but I really was dead.
