pura | week two curfew.......

[Well.

That sure is Backstreet Boys blasting in the background. Nogiku clicks her tongue when she realizes they're stuck in the bar now, mumbling expletives under her breath...

And also, you know, reaching for both of their hands simultaneously because it's touch week? Get in here, binches. This is my excuse to get more CR with y'all.]

[ oh i guess they're holding hands now? that's fine. it's touch week, so it's fine. ]

... Guess getting drunk is probably a bad idea.

[ given what happened last week. ]

[ oh. that’s his hand being taken hostage ]

…

Yeah, probably not.

[ this sucks. that they’re here again. ]

... Agreed.

[Ugh. She's too pissed at curfew to be mad over handholding with Men.]

So, now what? We wait, and hope to stay in control of our faculties?

[ if we're holding hands anyway

damien will reach out and take crow's other hand. we're a closed loop! ]

First one to break the circle is a murderer.

[ oh, look at them all go. affection. crow laces his fingers with everyone’s because i think it’s funny. ]

That seems like a condition we’ll regret when one of us wants a drink.

[Nogiku is so incredibly unimpressed, but she still doesn't let go.]

I thought we agreed getting a drink is a bad idea.

You need to use your hands for water and soda too.

Alright, so Crow's obviously the murderer, then.

Oh c’mon. I’m just pointing out the obvious.

Between dehydration and being accused of murder, which one is worse?

... To be fair, it's almost impossible to not say dehydration when you ask like that.

Maybe there's a world where I can sip water and not be scapegoated for a crime I didn't commit.

Technically speaking, you haven't committed any crimes yet... Well, besides stealing.

[remember the crow stop stealing stuff alarm? pepperidge farm remembers.]

Painkillers.

[ wh ]

Are you stealing painkillers?

Figured we'd have hangovers or might need them. Not sure where they are now though -- either used up or someone took them back.

[ ... ]

Still. Sounds like stealing from the medbay's been a common occurrence. Shale wasn't too impressed.

Was it really just painkillers...? [Hello??] Well... It's useful to have a bottle at hand, anyway. So I can't judge you too harshly.

Personally I'm a big fan of painkillers right now.

[ he raises a hand. ]

Numbing cream too. Maybe I just caught the medbay at a rough moment? [ also, hello? ]

… Do I want to know, Damien?

[ it has not been THAT long since he almost died???? so he just gives crow a pointed look. ]

[ god it has only been a week since then i’ve aged 700000 years.

crow just looks at his pockets. ]

Well, I have some in my pocket but seeing as I’m not allowed to let go of anyone’s hand…
