[ 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.

[ frank and tetora are of the same mind there. as much as he hates every new horror incurred by the people here, he can't deny its familiarity. it's very nearly comforting for how much, that's how fucked up he really is. not that he ever has cause to voice as much aloud. ]

for wandering around watching people get sick and fade away? sure. why the fuck not.

[ he feels useless, but he knows he shouldn't take that out on a newcomer. he should be as helpful as he can be now. ]

sorry. you ever been in space before, man?

[nishizono]

never been, never wanted to.

[ it's true enough; between the murders and the chases and the utter insanity of his life, space travel hasn't been a priority for tetora, much less a thought that occupied his waking moments.

it's been nifty so far, though. ]

what about you? are you a space man?

[oorah]

hell no. or at least i wasn't before i came here.

if you need help getting used to it let me know. the biggest thing is staying active so your muscles don't shrivel up on you.

[nishizono]

no one likes a raisin, i get you.

when's a good time to meet?

[oorah]

my calendar's pretty open. i'll meet you at the gym in an hour?
