                            “ you'd think after spending so much time underground, people would be more . . . bubbly? or smiley? i don't know . . . but for sure not so darn aggressive about everything. a customer told me to shove our pharmacy policies where the sun doesn't shine. and all because they were trying to fill a fake prescription, like, what has happened to pleasantries? ”

                         “    i    don't    understand    ,    ”    phrase    is    laced    with    confusion    as    her    eyes    dart    from    him    to    the    trunk    space    .    “    you    said    grocery    shopping    ,    no    ?    there    isn't    anything    to    put    in    the    trunk    yet    .    .    .    ”    instinctively    ,    grip    on    keys    tighten    .    a    creeping    sense    of    de    ja    vu    flooding    to    forefront    of    her    mind    . @carnassialisms

                            “ this  one !  kewl !  these  are  my  favorites,  too !  they  remind  me  of  little  tinnier  versions  of  my  brother's  dog,  just  he  isn't  as  colorful  as  they  are. ”  one  thing  she'll  always  be  grateful  of,  is  how  easy  it  is  making  conversation  with  fins.  while  the  nature  of  his  visits  isn't  wonderful,  seeing  a  friendly  face  is  always  great.  “ geez,  i  wish  i  could  move  you  into  a  less  hostile  sector  occupation.  you're  too  much  of  a  sweetheart  to  have  to  be  dealing  with  new  scrapes  and  bruises  daily.  you'd  make  a  great  helper  here  in  the  hospital,  don't  you  think? ”

unable to see color, fins can only go off of the patterns he sees. they both look a little strange to him, but not unpleasant. "that one," he says, pointing to the ones with larger shapes. he still doesn't know what they're supposed to be, but that doesn't really bother him. it's just nice to have a choice in something, even if it's small.

                            “ they're  notes.  for  me  to  study  and  help  understand  better  our  cause. ”  at  least  she's  got  quick  thinking  down,  no  matter  how  ridiculous  it  sounds.  “ i'm  gonna  go  run  some  errands  though !  such  a  good  chat  though,  we  should  totally  do  this  again ! ”  @buriedwithit

[bitchtakes]

                            “ no,  no.  there  isn't  much  that's  interesting  about  me,  i  promise.  i  just  .  .  .  you  know,  work  and  come  here  to  help  out  the  cause  .  .  .  and  all  that  kewl  -  ness.  but !  by  all  means,  tell  me  about  yourself ! ” @animusvenenatus

[bitchtakes]

                            “ have  you  ever  considered  using  plants  as  natural  remedies ?  instead  of  coming  by  the  pharmacy  so  often ?   i  feel  like  you'd  have  a  good  shot  at  making  it  work  out,  since  you're  so  knowledgeable  about  plants  and  flowers ? ” @carnivorousrosesxx

[bitchtakes]

                            “ no, yeah ! i get that . . . but like what i'm asking is what you're asking me ? you know what i mean ? like, what is it that you're asking for me to find for you. and i'm pretty sure that you still gotta have a prescription, technically. i can't just . . . give to you whatever medications you're asking for. that'd get me into some really bad trouble, you know. ” she's attentive for all of forty - five seconds before her ramblings lead her to flurry about the space. “ you'll have to forgive me, please. i have a super specific way of organizing my workspace and everything is so foreign to me right now. ”

Oh, wonderful, there's nothing quite so reassuring as a zoned out member of medical personnel. Miju knows his temper is only flaring up because he's anxious, but that doesn't make him any less annoyed. "...Because you're a pharmacist, and I perhaps naïvely assumed you might have an idea of what pharmaceuticals are in supply?"

[bitchtakes]

                            “ no,  right,  but  i  will  literally  lose  my  job  and  be  thrown  into  penitentiary  for  filling  unauthorized  prescriptions.  i'd  appreciate  it  an  awful  lot,  if  you'd  stop  asking  me  to  do  so. i can offer you some over the counter medications that'll give a very tame yet similar experience to what you're looking for. but tell me more first about talks of starting a second armageddon. ” @sureihsan

                           her fear practically radiated off her in waves as he bent to meet her line of sight. there's an involuntary flinch at the hand that lands on her and she tries desperately, to squirm from out under the touch. “ i didn't want to ! they told me it was just basic intel gathering, that i was just to try and get as much as possible ! i never meant to do any wrongdoings, please believe me ! i'm so, so, sorry ━━ i promise that i haven't told them anything major ━━ no, nothing at all ! ”

ihsan put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head. " i think we both know exactly what i mean, my darling. i had a hunch, and i've had my confirmation. " just to really enforce it, ihsan had half a mind to peel his fucking face off... but he thought better of it. " don't be so very frightened, though ! you know you'd be of no fucking use to me if i gave you up. " had she seen what they did to the people they 'gave up' ? probably not... which made it all the better.

[bitchtakes]

“ oh ! it's uhm . . . drek ━━ no ! derek ! you're derek, yeah ? ” she also lets the subject of his medications sail right along, never one to discuss it. “ oohh. yeah, no. i'm here really for the atmosphere and not for the food. i have this thing where i can't eat things that i haven't seen prepared or done so myself. my parents thought it was just me being a fussy eater, until i started having full-blown episodes over it. kinda of a bummer considering some of the stalls look super good, but what can you do ? ”

for analyn. @bitchtakes—

"Oh! Hey! I'm the, uh, guy that picks up medication for his m—" Bad start. Bad start! Abort! "Uh, never mind, did you visit the food stalls yet? I think one of them's got beef with the Jaguars because the spices were... not great"

[bitchtakes]

"my . . . combat experience? yeah, it's uhm . . ." should she lie? would it even be believable? perhaps being honest would play in her favor. "well, it isn't great. i prefer to de-escalate with words and compromise, you know. i've found that sometimes the less reactive you are, the better you can reach a level-headed solution." oh, yeah. super convincing! "do you mind if i ask why? were you looking for some constructive criticism? if you are . . . i think you'd be better asking someone who has more experience."

Thalia was still not pleased with being put on babysitting duty, though she knew Uncle Santiago would give her a hard time if she was anything less active in her attempts to help Analyn fit in. Honestly, if she couldn't manage it naturally, Thalia wasn't convinced Analyn was the right fit for their group anyway. But if Uncle Santiago saw something in her, the whole group needed to. "Alright, so what's your combat experience like?" Thalia wasn't much for coddling. So, teaching Analyn to stand up for herself, a land a punch was a close second. If nothing else, it would earn her some respect from the others. After all, anyone who said violence was never the answer clearly lived a very sheltered life.

                            the  peak  of  serotonin  might  as  well  have  been  visible  as  she  pokes  her  head  around  the  corner  to  meet  with  sabine.  a  smile  lights  up  her  features  as  she  bounces  over  to  her.  “ sabine !  how  are  you ! ”  maybe  a  silly  question,  given  the  circumstances.  but  even  amid  the  sun  trying  to  fry  them  extra  crispy,  she's  always  one  to  find  the  light  in  the  end  of  a  tunnel !  at  the  very  least,  they've  got  shelter !  “ yeah !  totally,  of  course  ━━  what  is  that  i  can  do for you ?  a  last  minute  prescription  that  you  need  filled  or  some  over  -  the  -  counter  recs ?  whatever  it  is,  i'll  sure  try  my  best ! ”

               if  there  was  a  thing  sabine  hated,  it  was  being  unable  to  anticipate  things.  she  had  made  sure  that  she  was  well  stocked  before  entering  the  bunkers,  her  job  still  one  she  could  do  even  under  the  current,  horrid  circumstances,  how  did  she  run  out  of  bupivacaine  so  fast ?  a  huff  left  her  at  the  thought,  as  she  made  her  way  to  the  only  person  she  knew  could  have  what  she  needed.     “  hello,  my  darling,  ”     niceties  weren’t  a  thing  she  did  often,  but  there  was  something  about  analyn  that,  simply  and  somehow,  made  it  easy  for  her.     “  i’m  here  because  …  i  need  some  help.  ”

[bitchtakes]

                            " oh  my  goodness,  not  even!  we're  both  yappers,  it's  our  fatal  flaws.  but  my  day  was  awfully  mundane,  to  tell  you  the  truth.  busy,  but  nothing  i  wasn't  able  to  handle.  and  what  about  you?  anything  exciting  happen? "

@bitchtakes

"You know I'll keep talking forever if you don't interrupt me. How'd your day go?"

                            “ nudacris is all good ! well . . . sorta kinda. he's not too happy being in his carrier bag right now, especially with all the commotion and what not. he's a bit overstimulated. but once i've settled him into our living space, he'll be a happy camper ! ” on cue, the feline gives a rather nasty hiss. “ how're you doing though, fins ? i'm sure such small spaces aren't all that cozy for you, no ? if you had a prescription, i'd totally give you something to help with the nerves. but if not, i've got some loose chamomile and i've also got it in tea form. i'd be more than happy to share with you ! ”

"i don't have much to bring," fins admits, shrugging. and it's true. he's only needed the one duffel... and mostly just because his two other outfits are very large. a few trinkets, otherwise. "is your pet okay?" he asks, trying not to seem as anxious about it as he is.

[bitchtakes]

there's an ugly drop in her stomach as she offers a queasy sort of smile and nod, quick to trot along beside him. “ 'kay . . . but would it be alright if . . . if i told something to you first ? ” analyn's almost certain she knows exactly what he wanted to discuss. and even if it weren't about her little secret, it was killing her to continue keeping it from him. especially when he'd been nothing but kind to her . “ the only thing i'm asking is that you won't be too upset with me. please ? ”

starter for @bitchtakes !! ( for analyn )

"walk with me. there's something i want to discuss with you."

[bitchtakes]

bless fins and that giant heart of his, he could put a smile on the meanest of faces. “ i'd love some. thank you, fins. ” she waits patiently for whatever he cares to offer, merely enjoying the company. “ it's been a little while, huh ? sorry for not keeping in touch . . . life's been rather hectic. but how're you holding up ? ”

"...did you want some?" it is a lot of chocolate for one person to consume, even someone of his size!
