Explosion 1 [voice/action]

[redheadturkey]

[There would be a rustling sound as the new occupant of Room 609 sat up, a soft moan floating up from the slender form as the flavor of cinnamon bursts across his tongue] Where am I? Last thing I remember was fallin' asleep in Medical. This ain't. .. [and a scream sounded, a startled sound, as the voice cut off] There's a ghost in my room. This isn

[FORMER ROOMMATE BRAIN BREAKAGE GO.]

About damn time you got your ass back here. What the hell happened, Red? Got lost on the way to the bathroom again?

[redheadturkey]

Do I. . .know you? [Reno's voice sounds. .. hesitant, and he's honestly beginning to wonder if he's losing his damn mind.]

[whiskeykillshot]

....

You're kidding me, right?

[redheadturkey]

No. . .I just got here like. . . .five minutes ago.

[Click. There goes the recording function. Have a supremely unimpressed-looking Fixer staring down at the screen with a quirk of an eyebrow for effect.]

Hit yourself in the head with that dinky little buzzerbat jr. toy of yours, did you? Somehow that's not surprising.

[When the webcam turns on, Rubi would clearly see that the redhead on the cam is more than a bit banged up, a bandage wrapped around his ribs, and a cane nearby.]

No, seriously, I don't know you.

[She sighs and leans back into the couch, her facial expression carefully blank while picking up a bottle of alcohol from off-screen to sip at.]

Hey, you wanna be all pouty with a rod up your ass, that's fantastic. But the amnesia joke's getting old.

Re: [ video ]

[redheadturkey]

{That earned her a snort] Last time I had a rod up my ass was before this mission that fucked my knee six ways to Sunday. [Then an inkling of a clue] Wait a minute. . .there was another Reno here before right? And you knew him? Is that what this about?

[Her eyes narrow. In the pit of her chest she has a terrible blank sensation, but ignores it. The joke doesn't even get a smile.]

That would explain a few things.

[Pause, long pull on that mystery alcohol. When she speaks again, it's in a monotone that suggests Rubi isn't as unruffled as she's trying to look.]

Yeah, we were roommates for the better part of the time we were stuck here. He disappeared a few times but always dragged himself back. Fucking moron. Probably found a way out somewhere or died trying.

For what it's worth, m'sorry, yo. I wouldn't mind gettin' ta know you, you seem to have the advantage of me in that, but eh, that's something that can be taken care of in time, right? [Reno finds himself beginning to like this woman to some extent. She's brash, sassy, a lot like he is.]

I'm in 609. if ya decide ya wanna come talk to me at some point or another.

[whiskeykillshot]

[Another flat, unnerving stare.]

You presume I'm a social person.
I'm not. And I don't need a shrink-style interrogation either.

Just try not to get yourself killed the first few days you're here, kid.

Re: [ video ]

[redheadturkey]

[That earns her an equal stare right back] I got no intention of gettin' killed. If I was gonna get offed, I woulda been during the mission that put me in this state.

[Reno most certainly knows a challenge when he hears one. . ..once he's in fit shape to take her up on it, he might do it.]

[whiskeykillshot]

[The grin she has now doesn't reach her eyes. Looks more like a baring of teeth than an actual show of mirth.]

Then you did a shitty job of your mission. And if you do get iced, I'll be the one to kick your ass for it.

[Click. Off goes the Jigoberry. Apparently talky time is over.]
