[Cue blonde girl squinting at the camera. There's a hint of brown at her roots, though. Shh.]

Okay, so. Like video blogging. Cool.

[She pulls back a bit and waves, running her fingers through her bangs.]

Um, hey. Allison Ruth here. Your new friendly neighborhood barista.

Or at least I will be once me and the kitchen crew sort out this whole cafe thing. And maybe get some coffee makers and an espresso machine or something...

[Please don't make her try and do everything by hand.]

So, yeah. Hi.

You spend a shift dealing with creepy guys leering at you, customers who want a latte without milk, people who think yelling is normal human communication and want to see the manager for every tiny imagined affront and then tell me it's a nice gig.

[Of course, the crew of the Moira is pretty small, so it probably won't be that bad...]

Wait.

[You can see a lightbulb go off in her head]

If I'm running the café, then...

Then...

[A wicked grin spreads across her face]

I am the manager.

[He starts a sarcastic slow clap.]

Congratulations on the promotion. You know if there's creepy guys around here you can probably just punch them. I doubt they're going to fire you. And it's not like they can kick you off the ship.

Re: video;

[allyisun]

You don't understand. You've never been in customer service hell.

[She's looking a lot more enthusiastic about her upcoming job now, though]

Forget punching. I will literally kick them out. And then ban them for life.

Nope. Joy of being too young to be forced into work.

[That and his attention span pretty much ruled him out of doing anything work related, ever.]

Wait, where are you setting up shop? Can you keep people from coming in and out?

Re: video;

[allyisun]

Well- I mean. It'll be in the mess, so I can't keep them out of there...

But I can threaten to kick their ass again if they get close?

Or report them to the captain's, I guess...

[takeitslow]

I'm not opposed to watching a good asskicking, but yeah. Second option might be for the best. Seems like a lot of the crew's a bit trigger happy lately, you know?

[allyisun]

Yeah that's... That's been pretty messed up. Really, really messed up.

[She tries not to think about it too much so she doesn't get all paranoid about potential murderers.]

At least they're not, like, forever dead?

[takeitslow]

You want to know the messed up part? No. Literally just ran into that little kid that got offed a few days ago. Freaking zombie shit around here.

[allyisun]

As long as they aren't trying to eat are brains, it's better than people being dead-dead... I think?

[That means the killers are only partial murderers! Or something.]

[takeitslow]

Uh, don't know how things work where you're from, but usually death is a permanent thing. Dead kids walking around is really screwed up. Like, breaking the laws of the universe.

[allyisun]

Like this place wasn't already breaking the laws of the universe.

I'm just saying, if someone on this ship murders me, I'd prefer to be alive afterward than dead.

[takeitslow]

Yeah, but think about it. It goes both ways. Some jerkoff keeps killing or doing nasty stuff and there's no way to really get rid of the guy. Kind of screwed up, right?

'Sides, this is way too zombie movie for me. How do we know these people aren't going to start snacking on brains or something?

[allyisun]

That's what the jail is for. I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly into capital punishment. It's 20- actually I have no idea what year it is here.

...to be fair, we have aliens and stuff on this ship, and there's no way to know that they don't want to eat out brains. I'm just going to assume they won't until they do. Zombie rights and stuff.

[takeitslow]

Jail's are pretty easy to break out of.

[It's not that he craves the violent option either, but he's seen how pathetic maximum security is.]

You know what they say about assuming. But really, aliens and zombies are two totally different things. I'd take probing over being eaten.

[allyisun]

If they can can bring people back to life, I'm sure they can make a prison that's hard to escape from. Have you seen the observation deck? They've got force fields!

[This is her making a face partway between a smile and a grimace.]

Wow, TMI. And kind of racist. Or like, spacist.

[takeitslow]

Have you seen the cells here? [He's not actually sure how they're built or if any force fields are involved. But he'd broken into a so called secure prison before. Secure was never secure enough.]

Hey, I've got nothing against aliens. No judgement, what they do for fun is none of my business.

[allyisun]

No. Have you?

[Are you a delinquent, Peter.

To the other part she just shakes her head, trying not to small. This kid is ridiculous.]

[takeitslow]

I took a run through the place when we got here. I didn't go inside.

[He is. He is the most petty little delinquent. That smile is selling it.]

[allyisun]

Then maybe you should see it from the inside before you start judging.

Probably wouldn't have trouble convincing them.

[takeitslow]

But that would mean getting caught. I don't get caught.

[allyisun]

Big words from a little guy.

[Who's probably taller than her, but shhh, he's young.]

[takeitslow]

You've seen how fast I can go, right? It's not all talk, honey.

[allyisun]

Did you just call me honey??

[She is gonna kick your ass some day, wow]

[takeitslow]

Oh sorry. Little too sweet for you, right?

[That's pretty much what he's gunning for. She's so reactive, its fun for him]

[allyisun]

Dude, you're like eight.

[Eight, eighteen, whatever. Still way too young to be flirting with her, gosh.]
