you know the more i think about it actually i love the idea of disenfranchised ex-copper lisa swain abandoning her career and her life on the fancy city-slicker-esque floating human citadel in space (after losing her wife and being cock-blocked at every turn into her investigation into her death, until she’s straight up warned that if she doesn’t shut the fuck up and stop poking her nose in where it isn’t wanted, betsy will lose her other mother, too), taking her daughter down to the more lawless, not-quite-slums on the nearby populated planet, where she’s just getting by taking up odd freelance PI jobs (doing too many favours for women in trouble), only to be tracked down by an old acquaintance (if she can even call her that: took her case, years back, was practically the only person who believed her), carla connor, claiming that she’s in desperate need of help and she’ll only accept it from somebody she trusts. sci-fi film noir type shit, perhaps. and obviously it will all come full circle and come right back to becky’s death, the cover up, the people responsible now gunning for carla (she has a big gob).

i’m in the mood to read/write the most self indulgent sci-fi swarla au. underworld as a ship, part of a greater human flotilla, carla at its helm. lisa with her own tiny cruiser, which she spends more nights in than she does back at her apartment on the greater populated ship (too many memories). perfect mental image in my head of betsy tearing up and customising her fleet-issued standard citizen uniform so that her belly’s showing. plot? unrealised, just let me enjoy the aesthetic. 🥹

#in all of this i just have this lovely little scene in my mind #of carla coming down to the surface of the planet lisa is on #and it’s so dirty and cramped - class divide huge - and she’s so repulsed by it (it reminds her too much of where she came from)#(it smells too much like home)#and she tracks lisa down to a bar where she’s half cut already and just not in the mood #and carla so obviously wants this to go quickly so that they can both leave and get back up there #only lisa notices and accuses her of being a snob #and carla’s like. no. i’m not a snob.#and lisa goes oh okay prove it. put your money where your mouth is. and then she orders the most hideous snack off the bar menu #some deep fried squid-like tentacle #(think delicious crispy tempura king prawns)#and she pushes the little dish over to carla #and carla looks at it like … 😟#but hell if she’s backing down. so she picks one up and shoves the whole thing into her mouth.#and it’s fine? like it’s okay? until she gets to. the pit. why is there a pit?#and lisa can immediately see in her face where she is and she’s like yes go on. bite it. bite down on it now.#so carla does. and the most rancid black oozing bile fills her mouth. and she runs away to puke #meanwhile lisa at the bar just pissing herself. until the barmaid comes over like … you didn’t tell her to bite off the head did you?#anyway… something like that lmao. i neeeeeed to put them in spaaaaace 🥹
