[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.

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.]

[takeitslow]

Dude, I'm like seventeen.

[It's less straight out flirting than trying to annoy her, but she doesn't need to know that.]

[allyisun]

Wouldn't know it by how you act.

[that's a lie. Teenage boys are well known for being the biggest brats on the planet. Though she'd still take them over middle aged rich white guys and angry soccer moms.]

[takeitslow]

Ugh, what? And how old are you supposed to be?

[allyisun]

Excuse you! Don't you know never to ask a lady her age?

[takeitslow]

You asked me mine. It's equality!

[allyisun]

I didn't ask, you just told me.

[takeitslow]

And? Fair's still fair.

[allyisun]

Old enough to have a college degree.

[Stubborn is as stubborn does.]

[takeitslow]

So, like, 30?

[How long does college take? Not like he'll ever know.]

[allyisun]

What?! Do I look 30 to you?

[Peter, no, don't make her feel really old...]

[takeitslow]

Do you really want me to answer that?
