o2. spinning wheels (video; un: burton)

[ The camera filming is the one from the console in the wall of the garden, the one that Haru put together. It shows Amos, fingers brushing along the plants hooked together along the wall. He has a smile on his face, and his touch seems incredibly gentle, his lips parted as he looks at the greenery. ]

Have you ever seen something more amazing? These plants are keeping us alive. Literally. Scrubbing up the air we breathe, putting it back out as something we can use. They take so much work, so much patience, so much knowledge. To keep them alive, help them grow. So amazing.

[ He stops, his face closing up all of a sudden. His jaw ticks with a muscle under the beard, and his hands turn into fists. He pulls away from the wall. It seems like a sudden change in mood, something like a switch has been flipped, all of a sudden. His posture tenses, his eyes start stinging. ]

This place is killing us. It's - it's killed my friend, already. He's more than a friend, really. He's my brother.

[ If you've met Amos, had a chat with him, you might realize that this video is pretty... well, unlike him. He doesn't seem to really recognize that fact, though, looking straight at the camera with his eyes slightly teary. ]

Be careful. This station does shit to us. [ Pause. Amos wipes at his eyes. Sniffles. ] Oh and by the way, guys, it's a station, not a ship. Don't make me say it again.

[ He doesn't sound angry, even when he says this, tired of having to repeat himself. There's a suspicious complete lack of anger throughout the whole entry. ]

Seriously, we need to get off this barge. All of us. If you think there's nothing you can do, I promise you, there is. We gotta work together.

All kinds of things no one really needs. I can dance, play piano, read the moods of incredibly unstable men, smile on cue, look into things that are none of my concern, look pretty, sweet talk people into doing whatever I need them to, solve puzzles, hold my liquor, stay skinny, and become wildly good at anything because I have a ridiculous amount of time to practice it.

Not all that useful on a station.

I thought you'd need an engineering degree to fix a station. [She won't deny the rest. The truth is she's been low on motivation up until he mentioned this place may be literally killing them. That's an obvious problem for her.]

Wonderful. When do we start?
blacksky: (I don't know why)

I spend my days getting drunk and making comments about people I don't know so I'm free now. I'm ready if you are.

I'll try not to be fashionably late. [She'll hang up now.]
