yeah, all right, i'm new here. please send your welcome wagon baskets of cookies to my room. i'm hungry.

( but that wasn't the reason he was putting himself out there now. he didn't really want to talk to this lot but seems like that was gonna have to be something he does.

so, he's making it happen. )

what i'm gettin from this place is that i can't go back to where i was, this place is in fuckin' space and those are actual fuckin' stars out there, and you lot like to get fucked up drunk sometimes.

( yes, he'd seen that post of yours, newton. seen it and he was going to remember it for the rest of his life. )

so, since you lot are so ready to offer up advice, i got two things:

one, where can i get a fuckin' good drink?
two, where can i punch the shit out of something? or someone. volunteers? i'm definitely taking volunteers. come on, everyone's so helpful here, right?

Christine.
But that's a boring name, and everyone outside of old, boring teachers call me Ziggy.

[cheapbastard]

ziggy, huh
how'd you get that outta christine?

( was he going to call her christine for making fun of his name? maybe. )

[shadysided]

Because of David Bowie. Ziggy Stardust, you know?

I'm a pale redhead, so someone called me Ziggy, and it just kind of stuck.

[cheapbastard]

right, got it now.
ginger, huh?
haven't met many of those in my life

[shadysided]

We're a rare breed.

Unfortunately, someone spread the word through the neighborhood that 'redheads were witches back in the olden days!'. So I'm also apparently a witch.

Go figure.

[cheapbastard]

oh, that just makes you more interesting
cursed anyone lately?

[shadysided]

No.
I'm not a fucking witch.

And any that feel like cursing people should hang themselves, spare people the trouble.

[cheapbastard]

bummer
would have been the first witch i'd known
but you can still be the ginger in space

[shadysided]

Probably for the best, getting cursed by a witch isn't fun.

But I'll take up the mantle, I guess. Someone has to.

[cheapbastard]

sounds like you've got a bit of familiarity with that
the curse thing

[shadysided]

Yeah.
Doesn't really matter here, though.
Not unless there's a curse involved in the next mission or whatever.

[HAAAAAA]

[cheapbastard]

you say that now
and you're gonna manifest it

[shadysided]

Yaaay, lucky me.
Can't wait to see how this mission thing goes, I guess.
I've been cursed enough, what's another one to add to the pile?

[cheapbastard]

maybe you'll get lucky
maybe it'll be great
and lack curses
and you'll live happily fuckin ever after

[shadysided]

Sure, yeah. Me and luck, we're best friends.

But thanks. I'll try to keep the faith. Or whatever people say.

[cheapbastard]

hey, that's about how it goes for me and luck too
solidarity
you'll be fine.
