week 6

[airlockedmods]

[Even with three deaths two weeks in a row, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to some semblance of normalcy come Sunday morning. The messes are cleaned up, the bodies are safe in the morgue (or in Kip's case, still in a liquor bottle in the garden) and with this new week comes a fresh crop of returning memories.

There is no new floor this week.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

[Cece arrives early as she can and the instant she sets foot in the rest area she's drinking like it's the Civil War and a doctor is coming to saw her legs off. Move over, hot tub jets, sparkly champagne shots are her new best friend.]

[everylittlesecret]

[Daaaaaaamn girl, save some for the rest of us.]

Am I gonna have to carry you back to our room later?

[theundertaker]

Naaah, 'm fine. [Ahem.] No, I'm fine. But thank you. [And now she's getting an affectionate smeck on the cheek.]

[everylittlesecret]

[Oh no that was cute, please, don't speak properly just for her.] For now you are, love. [She'll return the smooch on the cheek with one of her own, which is followed by a nuzzle.] You gonna be okay with your new job? You know I'm here for you.

[theundertaker]

[Cece makes a small giddy noise and hooks her non-drinking arm around Nari's.] I know and that's why you're the best. [Another shot down the hatch.] S'weird, I always wanted a promotion but not, [She waves her hand in a vague way.] Like this, you know? Or even this job.

[everylittlesecret]

[How did Nari wind up so lucky to have such a cute girlfriend???] Oh? What kind of job did you want? [Please tell her more about yourself as she decides to take a shot herself.]

[theundertaker]

[A mixture of luck, determination and being cute.] I always wanted to just stay behind the scenes. I've done a little bit of everything behind the camera since I started working for the studio. Running lights, prepping cameras, holding boom mics- y'name it I've purrobibly- probably done it.

[everylittlesecret]

[Must be mostly luck.] ..... what the hell is a gaff? That's been bothering me for the longest time.

[theundertaker]

[She pauses, the gears in her head slowly turning while her words try to catch up with her thoughts.]

...I could tell you but honestly all I can think of is the time we stuck someone to a wall with gaffers tape and left her there all though that day's filming while we waited for the producer to notice. He didn't.

[everylittlesecret]

... that is amazing. I love you, and I hope you do that to someone here.

[Or she does it to someone.]

[theundertaker]

[Gigglesnort.]

Get me a volunteer, a whole lot of tape, a step ladder and a bottle of champagne and I'll see what I can do.

[everylittlesecret]

Oh it's on. If anything, I'm sure you can convince Church to do it.

[theundertaker]

...Yes. Let's do it.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Damn, Cee, slow down a little. Take it from me, that's gonna hit you before you notice.

[theundertaker]

Pssssshhhh, s'fine. 'M fine. [AHEM.] I'm fine. Asari tolerance, jellyfish genes, totally fine. [Cece, that's not how those things work and you know it.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

I was under the impression that jellyfish need to really stay properly hydrated in order to, uh, function literally at all.

[Should he, like... pour her some juice or something... is anything here non-alcoholic.]

[theundertaker]

I mean, yeah but 'm not a whole jamfish. [That might not be a bad idea to be honest.] We're weird like that. Like really weird when it comes to procre- procrasti- to making babies.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Wait. Weird... how?

[Oh god we're talking about alien jellyfish, is this going to be about tentacle xenosplooge receptacles]

[theundertaker]

Like... [She furrows her brow and props her elbow onto the table, resting her chin in her hand.] It's hard to ex'pln but when we have sex we...um, combine nervous systems. Memories, thoughts, feelings- all of it just meshes together for a lil' while.

And that's just the sex part.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Whoa, that's...

[Creepy, he starts to say, but the memory of reaching the morphogenetic field--of connecting to Akane without anything else in the way, of almost thinking as one--even under those circumstances, the exhilaration of it, the knowledge... he's never felt anything else like it.

And it was incredible.]

That's... really intimate, uh. So wait, what does that have to do with the babies?

[theundertaker]

It's super intimate and can kind of freak out your partner if they're not prepared. Trust me.

But Asari are special in an evolu-evoutionary-uuugh! Why are words hard? Asari can have kids with any other species b'cause we pretty much clone ourselves. We can use the mind melding to check out their genetic heritage and pass on desirable traits to our children.

[misanthropicprinciple]

...

That's cool.

[COOL!!!]

So do you even, uh, do anything physical or--wow, that was a really inappropriate question, bad Junpei. Geez.

[theundertaker]

S'fine! [Even sober she'd be cool talking about this but drunk she is an open book.] We're totes capable of physical stuff, s'just the mind fucking that makes babies.

...But I mean the mind fucking is pretty awesome though.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Does it only happen during sex? Do you guys have like... good morning brain kisses?

[theundertaker]

No, just regular kisses but that sounds adorable. But it's not just a sex thing, it has a'lot of different uses dependin'g on context. We can use it to transfer thoughts 'n' feelings 'n'...stuff.

In a friend way, not just a sexy way.
