[ tetora's already having second thoughts while typing out this post, but the fact that the pillbox in his pocket is near-empty informs him that this is a painful necessity in order to survive. this means disclosing certain aspects about himself that he'd rather not, but means and ends and all that. something about justification and not remembering it correctly. ]

hi. the name's tetora, and i need to take a cocktail of drugs regularly to keep functioning like a human being. i've already been to the medbay and it doesn't what i need exactly.

so i'm asking if anyone can help formulate the stuff i need. i've got samples you can use, so long as you get most of it back to me. i only have my skills to trade, because i don't have money and i don't have anything else valuable on me. i can make knives, if there's a need for that here.

i realize this is a weird time to be asking because half the ship's down with the sickness, it seems like, but if you've got a minute to spare while trying not to die, i'd appreciate it and owe you.

Combination of nonstop music plus our food probably being drugged. Most people cannot handle a crisis around here like at all. Fair warning even if you're kind of laughing at our suffering which is super rude tbh.

[nishizono]

sounds like a nightmare party. wish i was around for that, it sounds like fun.

and i mean, it's funny if you think about it. music, insomnia, and drugged food - what a trip.

[morphogenia]

You have a weird idea of what fun and funny are. I mean it was like a black comedy I'm not allowed to actually watch.

Oh.

I'm starting to get it. Is the joke everything is terrible and let's laugh so we don't cry?

[nishizono]

one man's party is another man's nightmare, what can i say?

and yeah. kinda. but explaining jokes makes them less funny so now the punchline isn't as punchy as before.

did you get stabbed?

[morphogenia]

What? No! I totally avoided the crazies once they got stab happy. I don't want to tell my parents when this is over that their daughter got shanked bc some adults can't handle their rage. I don't want my tiny mom attacking them with her shoe. Bc she will.

[nishizono]

that would be so funny though, like a tiny woman chasing people around with a shoe? that's fucking hilarious.

is your mom on board? is she here? how does she attack with a shoe, is there like a technique to it?

[morphogenia]

Yeah no. She's definitely not. Her technique is throw and yell basically. It's weirdly effective.

[nishizono]

we could pretend to be your mom, study her technique. i'll round up the shoes, you find us somewhere we can throw it at people without getting caught.

[morphogenia]

We'd actually get caught. Our AI friends all have access to the cameras.

Still liking this plan tho.
