Uh. The ship's still working, right? It doesn't feel...

[Muttered to herself:] Life support's still on. I think.

Calm down, girl.

Saffron, darling, where are you?

Private

[call_me_saffron]

Back at my room. I...don't really know my way around this place as well as I thought.

Private

[tlazolpapalotl]

Well, probably best to stay put for now, darling, at least until we get some lights going. Give me a regular check-in, all right?

Private

[call_me_saffron]

Yeah, tumbling down the stairs and crackling my skull open doesn't seem like too much fun any more.

Will do.

[rass_bestie]

Life support is functioning. The ship has stopped and lights are off. Other systems, including that which maintains our rooms are offline too.

[call_me_saffron]

That would be amazing. Thank you.

[young_idealist]

Where should I find you? Travel is a little slow.

[call_me_saffron]

Sixth level. If you walk into somebody sitting down outside cabin ten, you've found me.

[breakmychest]

All right, love? Lack of clothes aside?

[call_me_saffron]

I keep walking into things but yeah, I'm just peachy.

Don't suppose vampires have night vision too, do they?

[breakmychest]

Well, yeah, actually. It'd be a lot harder to be a creature of the night if we had to use torches.

[call_me_saffron]

...

Okay, I guess that was a stupid question. You're coping okay then, I suppose? The food shortage doesn't apply to you?
