[coraza]

kerry, right?

[this is how you talk to people 101]

[secondconflict]

That's right. And you're Cloud?

We should really know that 'bout each other.

[He means that as a dig at himself too, not just Cloud. They should know each other better.]

[coraza]

i'm not in the house much.

[it's not untrue, but it's also a little awkward to admit...?!]

bet you're just as busy with the event you're organizing.

[secondconflict]

That and starting a new band does take a lot of my time.

Add the whole 'surprise you're a giant snake monster now' moments and it's been a pretty crazy time.

[coraza]

is that why johnny got busted for trying to get a new guitar?

[listen, he thinks you all are cool with your rockstar attitude and all... he wants to be in the know.]

sapphire?

[secondconflict]

Hey, that isn't on me. Johnny and I don't play together like that anymore. Haven't for a long time.

Nah. Ruby. Think what I turn into is called a lamina.

[coraza]

[huh?]

i thought you were... bandmates still. he's not in your new band?

[another ruby.... thoughts for later.]

[secondconflict]

Nah. We were in a band together, over 50 years ago. Got my start with him.

There's a lot of history there. I love him like a brother and want the best for him, we played as separate solo artists even back home after the band broke up.

When we try and manage a band together we end up down each other's throats.

[coraza]

[...50 years ago...........?]

guess some things just aren't meant to be.
how old are you guys?

[secondconflict]

Complicate question when you're talking about Johnny. Technically, he died in 2023. It's 2077 for us now.

[Kerry has a big '2023' tattooed on his arm. This statement answers part of what that tattoo means.]

Long story there. Probably a convo you should have with him.

As for me, I'm almost 90.

[coraza]

[johnny???? died? holy crap?]

no offense, but you guys are so damn weird.

[and cloud's curious—!]

is v unexpectedly old, too?

[secondconflict]

Tell me about it. I lived through it and I still have trouble wrapping my head around half of it.

And V? Nah. He's pretty young, actually.

Probably too young for me, but I like having a hot young input. :D

[coraza]

[sir, SIR.]

keep that to yourself.

[if kerry has some ounce of an experience witnessing cloud's tough guy act, he should know there is no real resentment or malice when he says that.]

don't think you get a pass just 'cause you're an old man.

[totally a child-like response........]

[secondconflict]

They didn't invent the phrase 'dirty old man' for nothing.

But I'm probably too much of a sap for that anyway.

If you do want to deal with a mindfuck when it comes to V, though, did you know there's more than one version of him here? He's got alternate reality clones.

[coraza]

[cloud actually groans!!]

seriously? i've just met one of him. i think.
do they both look the same? shit.

[secondconflict]

They don't, actually. But they sound the exact same and feel the same. It's a mind trip.

[coraza]

[feel?????]

wonder if they're also addicted to coffee.

[secondconflict]

They each got their own vices, I think.

And what do you have against coffee? Coffee's good. ;)

[coraza]

v — the one we live with, he mentioned being really into it.
not really a fan of it.

[cloud's a child, honestly.]

[secondconflict]

Took him to get a cup, during one of our first dates.

[If you call paying someone to blow up a van and run from the cops a date.]

[coraza]

[cloud would love to hear the explosion part of that date.]

here, or your world? he calls foodstuff ... schlop? scop?
doesn't sound appetizing.

[secondconflict]

Our world.

And it's called SCOP. Stands for "Single Cell Organic Protein." It's artificial meat, basically. At least it's better than Kibble. Kibble's more common because it's cheaper and more prevalent. It's a whole artificial nutrient package but it kind of looks like dog food, hence the name.

Rich folks can still get organic food stuffs, though. It takes more to import and costs a whole lot of eddies.

And now you know why our kitchen's usually stocked pretty well. I think all three of us still can't get over how good everything tastes here and how fucking cheap it all is.

[coraza]

i've noticed.

for what it's worth, my friend's opening up a bar. she's the one who makes the sandwiches and other stuff in the tupperware.
she'll make you guys a meal if you drop in.

[casually try to prime people to go in for some business...]

what happened to your world? for it to get so fucked like that.

[secondconflict]

Tons of shit. Economic and ecological collapse. Greedy assholes who thought they could use up people and make money off dwindling resources. A few viruses that took out wildlife.

Fucking massive earthquakes and pollution and man's eternal greed.

Basically all the worst things you can think of.

[coraza]

...sounds like what we're heading towards.

[not this world, clearly. but gaia—where cloud is from.]

it's good to know the same shit ruins different worlds.
i guess.
