[If one were to look closely at the video feed, they might notice some blond stubble on the man's face and a look of discomfort.]

So what do I have to do to get a razor around here?

[He's about to turn the video off, but he seems to change his mind at the last second.]

It's sort of an emergency.

Thanks.

Not in this part of it, anyway. Trust me, I know where to look for things. Perhaps they've all been spoken for. Perhaps there's a shortage. I don't know. [Considering how much he despises this hair all growing out of his face, he definitely looked.]

I think I might have a lead or two, though. We'll see.

I hope you're wrong about there being a shortage. This is going to be one really rough space-kidnapping if they can't even keep something that basic in stock.

[And not just because some guy has a freak out when his beard grows out of control.]

I guess so. That probably means I should go look too. [Not just for razors, but other basic hygiene essentials.] What deck are you on anyway? Maybe it's just a problem there and not everywhere else.-

It was just a thought. Like I said, I don't know. It could just be for the moment. Maybe I haven't found where they keep them locked up.

[Later on he'll figure things out, but right now it's just terrible for him. Terrible. Terrible.]

Nomo deck. If you're somewhere else, you may have better luck. Or not. Who knows?

[Hence the overdramatic reaction that prompted a reply in the first place. Zatanna's still willing to bet he just hasn't looked in the right drawer or whatever yet.]

Is Nomo the one with the eggbeds?

[Liquid can't help the drama. It's just part of who he is. It's entirely possible he missed things in his panic.]

No, it's got bunk beds, and they're not egglike at all.

Sounds like you've got a really different set up, but seriously? Bunk beds? And I thought just sharing a room was bad.

[At least she can kind of get some privacy in her egg-thing.]

If the rooms are that different, the bathrooms probably are too. [And if Liquid listens closely, he'll hear the sound of Zatanna moving. Time to go check out her own supplies.] I wonder what they were thinking when they designed this place.

It's not like I haven't had worse setups. I can live with a bunk bed.

[At least it's a nice-ish bed.]

Who knows? Well, the designers, I suppose, but they might not be giving up their ideas. Our bathroom's, well... not the best. And that's putting it really lightly.

Well, I mean anyone could, but with a room full of strangers? Who would really want to?

[And she may be a little spoiled on this point but hey. Only child, and even when she moved into the Cave she had a decent bed and privacy.]

...Well, way to make me thankful for being on the egg deck. [Yes, that's what she's calling it now.] I guess that's why they assigned a bunch of us to cleaning duty, but...ew.

It's not ideal, but at least my roommates seem to be tolerable so far.

[He's lived many places, and compared to some? It's a luxury.]

Glad I could make your egg place a little better, then. Again, it's nothing I haven't dealt with worse before, but it's nothing to write home about.

Trust me, any bright side I get to see around here? I'm thankful for.

[Since so far most of her discoveries seem to have been about how this place sucks.]

You know, for a guy who's complaining about a beard, you keep implying you've been through a lot worse.

I take it you're not having a good time?

[Liquid doesn't completely hate the place yet. Not a bad place to be held captive.]

Just because I have doesn't mean I can't also complain about the beard. It's pretty up there on 'things I can't live with'.

Well, let's see. I went from celebrating a pretty amazing victory over the bad guys with my friends [Not to mention a fun New Year's make-out with Robin] to this. So, no. Not having a good time at all.

[Zatanna's needed a lot less time to make her judgement.]

Right. Guess different people are always going to have different priorities.

That'd do it. I guess my circumstances were a bit more dire.

[Really takes being dead to make you appreciate your new prison.]

Trust me, I've complained about it other times too. Once I take care of this issue, place'll be just fine. [Except for everything else.]

Oh man; I'd hate to think what kind of circumstances would make this seem like the better option.

[Even if he's still way too fussy about his facial hair.]

I'm sorry.

Could be a lot of circumstances, really. It's not ideal, obviously, but at least it's got, you know, the basics.

[He's fussy about other things too. This is just the complaint of the day.]

It's fine. Shit happens, as they say.
