Did you have a nice trip? - Alpha & Beta
When: just after leaving the control room.
For a moment, Jessie felt slightly disoriented, almost like she was
seeing double only the wrong way around, but put it down to the
alcohol in her system. She steadied herself against the wall at the
next intersection, then turned a corner, and the feeling of being
unfocused passed. She did not look back, which was probably for the best.
<snip>With no shoes, no sleeping quarters and her sense of direction
buried under layers of alcohol, she staggered off into the maze of
corridors that filled the ship, found a comfortable corner, and went
to sleep. <end snip>
<OOC: this post contains two storylines, and takes advantage of the
current weird effects to bring you TWO Jessie Carters! Yes, Ladies
and gentlemen, there are now two of her running around the ship! To
avoid confusion, they will be identified as Alpha and Beta. Each
storyline follows on from the previous section.>
ALPHA
Who: Jessie, Chrizla, Talkie Toaster
Where: A corridor somewhere
When: A few hours later, after Chrizla tripped over her.
<snip> Chrizla got up and helped Jessie to her feet, "What are you
doing sleeping in a
corridor? Why aren't you in your quarters?" "Cos I haven't got any!"
Jessie replied, rather disgruntled. "Come on," Chrizla instructed,
"Follow me, you can sleep in my bed. I'll take the sofa." <end snip>
Chrizla's quarters, the next morning.
"Howdy doodly doo! Good Morning, would you like some fresh toast?"
Jessie groaned, and, without opening her eyes, grumbled, "It's not
morning yet." The annoyingly cheerful voice, not content with merely
waking her up, responded enthusiasticly. "My internal clock says that
it's Eight O'clock a.m." Jessie rolled over to face the wall,
muttering "yeah, well mine says it's five past hangover. Now shut up
and let me get back to sleep."
A few minutes later, she sat up with a jerk, fully awake, to confront
the Talkie Toaster perched smugly on Chrizla's table. "But I locked
you in the external repair 'bot locker on board the Wyvern! How the
smeg did you get here?"
<Tag Chrizla - who's toaster is it?>
BETA
Who: Jessie, Kara
Where: A corridor somewhere else.
When: A few hours later, after Kara tripped over her.
<snip> Suddenly her foot collided with something as she headed to her
quarters and she slammed face first into
the ground. "What the smegging hell is going on?!" Kara snapped as
she turned to see what she had tripped on.
<end snip>
"Smeg! Can't a girl get some sleep anywhere on this ship?" Jessie
looked up blearily from her makeshift 'bed' on the floor, but tried
(unsuccessfully) to make it a glare when she recognised the person
who'd tripped over her. "You again."
"Yes, it's me. The deadie, remember?" Kara smiled coldly. Now she
would be able to have her revenge.
<tag Kara - you don't need to kill her... yet>
