VIDEO / forwarddated to tonight!

[ from the angle of the camera, it looks like the comm is propped up against a pillow, facing a cranky and tired looking jenny, who's laying on her belly in bed with the blankets pulled up over her head like a hood. a messy chunk of her hair is sticking out from underneath-- must be what she needs all those damn hair clips for.

in the background, echoing off spaceship hallways, what sounds like... autotuned howling can be heard. ]

Jesus H. Christ.

[ she burrows deeper under the blankets. ]

It was kinda fucking cute like, six hours ago. But, look, even the Spirit of the 21st fucking Century needs a little fucking shut-eye, okay?

[ another t-pain ARRROoOOoooOOooo. hurggggh. jenny flings the covers back abruptly and storms over to her bedroom door, flinging it open and shouting down the hall: ]

Dad. Do you fucking hear that? For fuck's sake, if you're gonna let Deputy Mayor fucking howl in the middle of the fucking night, I swear I'm gonna teleport him right into bed with you and let him piss WD-40 on your good fucking sheets!

[ slamming the door shut and flopping back down on the bed: ]

Fuck. Anybody got room on their couch?

[centurybaby]

Can't you start back up here?

[wisecracked]

I could. But without my partner it wouldn't be the same. Or as easy. She has a special way of persuading people for information or whatever.

[Sighs and frowns a little.]

[centurybaby]

Pretty sure you could find someone like that here, if you wanted. You tried yet?

[wisecracked]

No...but it's not just her powers that were so helpful. We're practically sisters and finding someone that I work with that well...

[centurybaby]

Huh. Guess you're stick being a boring secretary then.

[wisecracked]

For the time being. I mean, I've only been here a month so it's not like I know anyone well enough to start up a business like back home.

[centurybaby]

Sure. What the fuck do I know. It's not like I make friends all the time.

[wisecracked]

I've made plenty of friends but I guess you could say I have trust issues? Or maybe I'm just holding out for Bo to show up. Although I guess I shouldn't hold my breath on that one.

[centurybaby]

That blows. Sorry. Maybe your friend'll show up, who fucking knows, right?

[wisecracked]

Maybe. But given my luck if anyone from home shows up it'll be someone I hate. [Or her ex and wow that would be a difficult one to deal with.]

[centurybaby]

Well don't fucking jinx yourself.

[wisecracked]

Better to expect the worse that way there's no surprises.

Well, no bad surprises.

[centurybaby]

Yeah, I guess. Can't fucking disappoint a cynic.

[wisecracked]

Exactly! Although it's not so much about being cynical as being realist.

[centurybaby]

Potato, potahto.
