Trevor needs a break from dinner shift for a little while.

I think we'll be okay, but Sweeney's offered to help out if we need more hands.

[general_affairs]

Yeah? Is Trevor alright?

Sweeney, Sweeney..sounds good, but I'm not sure if we've met yet.

[ They have, sort of! But no names were exchanged and it was text, so.. ]

[punched_hitler]

I think so, but I'm going to check on him in a few days to make sure.

[Steve does like to try to give people space, but he figures Trevor can always tell him to fuck off after that.]

He's the tall redhead with the Irish accent who handles Food Inventory. You've probably seen him around, even if you didn't know it was him.

[general_affairs]

Oh, other redhead that's got the accent. Yeah, got it, I've seen him around. No idea what an Irish accent is before just now though.

I'll catch up with Sweeney with the idea, and keep me updated. Worse comes to worst, we can just ask for the help.

[punched_hitler]

Ah - yes, that's an Irish accent. Sorry I didn't know you weren't familiar, I could've demonstrated.

We are lucky to have a lot of people available to pick up shifts. The kitchens have definitely gone through periods of much leaner staffing.

post-network explosion over sunglasses!

[Sometime after Ekko saves the day, she decides to send him a video message. Her lips are pressed into a wide line of understanding.]

Sooooo... how're we feeling?

[general_affairs]

[ He snorted out a laugh through his nose, and for a moment, his lips cocked into a tired sort of grin. It didn't seem to be forced at all, but it did fade away quickly. ]

Wishing I wasn't half as good at tearing up a room as I am right about now.

Ekko's a good kid though, he couldn't just tossed them. Aerith's probably still upset at me.

[ctrl_x]

Yep, that's Ekko, alright! He's always been that...

A good kid.

[Her expression dims ever-so-slightly before she's quickly shifting the conversation.]

I'm sure Aerith'll come around. She seems... stubborn, sure, but she's got a good heart. People with those... they can't help but forgive, right? Especially if you slide something thoughtful their way. Like... coffee or tea or maybe even just a note that says you're sorry.

[general_affairs]

[ He was nudging around some stuff on the floor with the toe of his shoe. ]

I'm not hearing any complaints about you from him.

[ He remembers her first post to the network, and could put together a guess about that hesitation. He let out a small grunt afterwards. ]

Yeah, it's hard to get on her bad side, but she's already been pretty forgiving of us.

[ He squatted to flip a mattress back onto a bed frame. ]

She gets it, but we still got a whole friend date thing planned. I'll do a little something outta the way for her.

[ around the end of August as notices are going up. ]

Jinx is doing a task for the infirmary. I'm busy. Go help her access warden locked areas so she can place her posters.

[ Nothing in his tone suggests he's seen the results. Maybe he's just reporting because Jinx mentioned today's the day. Surely not at all enabling her. ]

[general_affairs]

Yo?

[ A pause as he listened. ]

You got it, boss.

[ There was an audible grin in his voice, but he didn't quite laugh. He didn't need to--he was sure Vincent understood why Reno was so amused and nonchalant about him coming out of the blue to boss him around over a trivial task. ]

[coffinturk]

[ If Vincent wasn't being an unusual level of gremlin so busy, he might have something more serious to say about that humor. ]

Try not to get any ideas.

[ It's barely grumpy. Both of them know what's up. And even if Reno needs to catch up on why he's being tasked with this... well, it the mystery won't last long.

Letting Jinx wallpaper the Barge with the notice won't hurt anyone. And clearly it's important to make everyone understand the infirmary has some showers and a bathtub now. ]

[general_affairs]

Why would I do anything like that?

[ Reno's pretty good at figuring things out on the fly, and he'd rather the surprise, anyway. They'll be sure to stick extra posters on Vincent's door, probably in some obnoxious shape or other. ]

Drop her off with you after, or is she free to go?

[coffinturk]

[ Vincent's door is already papered. How else would he know? ... I MEAN... ]

Let her go. She's not under my supervision.

[ She's just doing the job he didn't want to bother with. ]

[general_affairs]

You got it. I'll be there in five.

[ Short and sweet. There was no need to drag conversation, and Vincent had certainly already picked up on the implications that Reno teased. ]

[coffinturk]

She's not here. Moved on to another level I think.

[ Yup. Trace her by the papertrail, Reno.

Literally. ]

[talesuntold]

Want to hang out now that (I hope) neither of us is out of our minds with anger and/or grief and/or anxiety?

I propose obstacle course in the Enclosure then lunch at my place.

[love_and_peace]

[ Early morning, just after breakfast and immediately after this call to the Admiral ]

Hey. It's Vash. I need you to tell the Admiral to give me back my damn arm.

[general_affairs]

I was wondering when you'd ask about that. No problem, I just gotta know what the deal is with the arm.

[love_and_peace]

.. There's a gun in it, okay? But it's useless without ammunition.

[general_affairs]

Figured that much, and I know how guns work, I work with 'em too.

I mean, how would you feel about rubber rounds? They're not lethal, but it'll hurt enough if you gotta defend yourself.

Either that, or I could try putting a cure materia in it for you, maybe teach you to use it.

[love_and_peace]

Oh.

I was thinking I'd be lucky to get it back with the gun still inside. Rubber bullets would be fine, yes.

Thank you.

[general_affairs]

[ A chuckle. ]

Nah, I don't wanna neuter you like that. Maybe work a little on the impulsivity, but with all the shit that goes on around here, I don't want you stuck as a sitting duck. Then I might have to get myself demoted, too.

I'll let you play around with my materia and see how you feel about it.

[love_and_peace]

Don't.

[ He didn't mean to blurt that out so loudly, but here they are. ]

I just mean... there's places all over this ship I can't get into, that you can. Don't lose that access, if you can help it.

[general_affairs]

I don't intend to, Vince is a little more uptight than I am, so having to go through him for everything would be a pain in the ass.

I'll get your arm for you. Anything else?
