There's a great deal of static, interspersed with the sound of swearing and then a precariously tilted look at a wall and the edge of a bunk, before the image finally rights itself and clears to reveal Jayne's way-to-close-to-the-screen face

Looking both a little incredulous and a little bemused, DG switched on her tablet to reply to Jayne. People made all sorts of requests over the tablets. They asked for directions or information or instructions or something. They didn't ask about prostitutes. She couldn't resist making sure that she'd heard correctly.

(One of these days, her curiosity was going to get her into trouble.)

"You're looking for whores?"

(That day may be today.)

Jayne looks all kinds of pleased at getting such prompt responses to his question. Maybe this place won't turn out to be so bad after all.

"You ain't gonna tell me I can't afford it, are ya?"

[tothelightshown]

"No," DG replied, raising an eyebrow and trying not to smile. She had heard correctly. That had to make Jayne one of the strangest people she'd spoken to since arriving in Taxon. Yes, she'd spoken to aliens and monsters and who knows what else, but at least they'd asked for answers instead of prostitutes. "I'm going to tell that you probably won't be able to find any."

[myveryownriot]

"Ain't what I hear." He looks back and forth like someone might actually be standing right there listening, and then offers some confidential words of wisdom. "You just gotta know the right folk to ask."

[tothelightshown]

"Oh?" The confidential tone is almost - almost - enough to shatter her composure, but she avoids cracking a smile and leans closer to the device in order to share in the conspiracy. She needs some amusement after Glitch's glitch. Apart from upsetting Jayne, playing along can't do too much damage. "Who do you ask?"

[myveryownriot]

"Well I ain't rightly sure I can part with that information for nothin'." Yes, it appears Jayne thinks he's stumbled on some kind of valuable bargaining chip.
