001 / VIDEO / Rhy$.$trongfork

[smugreport]

[ Rhys is already an irritable guy, and of he isn't getting a good nights sleep and his basic creature comforts he's even quicker to be a snippy asshole. He must be at a breaking point or something, cause he's really Feeling It Mr. Krabs this week.

The video clicks on, camera focusing on Rhys's face, behind him the sleeping pods from the dorm that he hasn't been lucky enough to escape for the month. ]

So hey, I've been really, really patient with this whole situation. Waaaay more reasonable than anyone deserves, but I think it's about time I put this out there:

Lack of privacy? Of fresh air- real or simulated? Of access to the infirmary, gym, or spa if there even is one on this ship- It's an infringement on human rights.

That's right, I'm suing! And all of you should too. Who's with me?

fair
i mean i imagine space might be rather like being on open sea and nautical law is complicated on its own
and i have no reference for what universal power controls space or travel in it or

another thing to ask archie i guess

but yeah
same
i'm
my body's getting a bit weird
i think because i'm not dealing with a regular sun cycle anymore
it's messing with my internal clock

I doubt the asteroids helped. The sleep aids weren't just for the inmates, you know.

Though I'm tempted to slip some to Rhys and Rhys II over there. Jesus Christ.

( not intending to touch the subject of sleep: )

what the hell is his username anyway
i thought there was a restriction on it needing to be your name but it's like a list of random words after the name travis

do you suppose they're all middle names maybe?
travis touch down crown less king?

[nineteenfortyfive]

I don't know. Rhys' looks like he dropped his communicator. Or turned it on in his pocket, somehow.

Travis' sounds like a headache.

[counterstep]

don't worry, i can handle travis

if he ever gives you trouble alert me immediately
or any of them for that matter
let's just say i'm more useful as a weapon sometimes

[nineteenfortyfive]

Thank you, James, but I think maybe I'm more worried about Rhys right now than myself.

[Weapon? What the fuck. But she's a little distracted by the urge to go make sure Travis isn't pummeling Rhys. And yes, she thinks it would go that way. Just a feeling.]

[counterstep]

do you recognize where they are? i'll go look.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Looks like the inmate dormitories.

If anyone is bleeding or broken, send them my way.

( he doesn't have time to type this because it's with a quick gesture he replies: )

Dorm Unit One. Rhys' nose needs attention.

[She switches over as well, not expecting an immediate response.]

I'll be over shortly.

[She'll grab some goodies from the infirmary, first.]

( unfortunately, he can't check the message or reply in a timely way since he's about to fight a maniac, but he counts on claire to arrive before rhys bleeds out from his nose.

he checks the notification for her reply a few hours later, when he can spare the time, and smile to himself. yeah, claire is definitely a good friend to have here. )
