dog_eat_dog: (and I will not waiver)

[There's a pause; what kind of a name is that? Not American, that's for sure, and she's suddenly questioning who she saw. She sticks a pin in it.]

Tess, but I'm sure you know that. [She decides not to sink to promising it'll never happen again: it could, and even if it didn't, she doesn't owe anyone that reassurance.] You sound pretty cool about this.

Like I said, this isn't the worst I've had it. Maybe the weirdest.

[A yawn, muffled. His hours are still... irregular.]

I'm not saying your my favorite person right now. [Muffled again- he's turned his head from the mic.] Unless you wanna tell me how smart I am.
dog_eat_dog: (cause i'm feelin like a criminal)

[With a faint are you kidding me? tone bleeding through that readiness:]

Why would I call you smart?

Nah, just something a psycho said to me. I'd rather be bit than complimented by a pig.

Enough about me. That shit that happened. Everybody says it's not an every day thing. Wanna hear it from you.

[A short breath through her nose. She weighs her options; having this conversation over a communicator feels safer, but she resents feeling cautious enough to do that.

She'll think on it.]

Maybe not everyday here. Back home... pretty average.

Terra-forming gone bad?

A cordyceps that jumped from ants to crops to humans. It's a fungus.

That... explains a lot.

[No, it doesn't; he isn't a biologist. But what do you say to shit like that? Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I feel moss.]

[Also, and perhaps most importantly, he doesn't want to sound dumb to the bitey lady.]

Sounds like we're some really lucky unlucky bastards.
dog_eat_dog: (the car crunches gravel)

[That has her pursing her lips. It's bullshit to have gotten infected, but who has ever come back from it once, let alone twice?]

I'd say we got lucky we can have this conversation at all. There's no cure back home. I don't think there's one here, either. It's just some sort of reset. We could just be rotting, but instead...

[We're here? We're "good"?]

Don't worry. The whole 'hallucination before you die' thing is a flik trope.

Never said I was worried about that. And if I was, I think I'd skip the wishful thinking.

[It feels worthless when there's no way to make it real.]
