[ at first, she's mostly caught on the "ship" part, because he clearly means a boat, right?

clearly.

except there's the whole "in flight" thing and the fact that planes aren't ships, and—

hold the fucking phone. ]


By "ship," you mean "plane," right?

[ she really needs some clarification here. ]

[ . . .

this is definitely jess, needing a moment to reboot her brain.

the genuine shock in her expression is quickly smoothed away in favor of one of her more familiar glowers, and she tries to look unimpressed. ]


Goddamn hilarious. Tell me where we actually are, asshole.

[ because space? that is sure not an option. ]

[ that hard look in her eyes makes it exceedingly clear that she still doesn't believe him. sure, the incident in new york brought the existence of aliens, of things bigger than earth to light, but—

how the hell could she go from a little too much booze in a seedy bar to the middle of wherever the hell the "viridian cluster" is in space?

she catches herself again as everything lurches forward, though she doesn't look away from peter for an instant.

...of course, this also kind of helps with the whole "in space" thing. or at least, in motion and not-on-solid-ground. (could still be a plane, though, right? oh god, please let it be a plane. please let it turn out that this dude is just trying to bullshit her and doing a really good job of it..) ]


No offense, but I'm having a little trouble with my suspension of disbelief here, so I'd appreciate some proof that isn't just because some random— [ she gestures vaguely at him. ] —space guy says so.

[ she's also not entirely convinced that he isn't responsible for her random appearance here, so that wariness is still edging into her tone — though it's definitely superseded by her aggravation at this point. ]

Probably the same way I'm supposed to trust that you didn't drug my ass and haul me onto your flying hunk of metal.

[ maybe she doesn't believe she's in space yet, but she does at least acknowledge that this big metal thing is moving. that's impossible to ignore. ]

Also seriously, don't have tentacles. Or if you do, keep them to yourself. That sounds really damn creepy.

[ how is she supposed to know that he doesn't, is the real question here. ]

[ hey, her knowledge of tentacled aliens is pretty limited here — and not exactly the most pleasant of associations, given general human pop culture. it's not like she knows tentacled aliens out in reality are actually pretty okay.

the continued turbulence on the ship isn't reassuring by any means, and she grabs onto a crate again to keep herself vertical (because all this shaking around is not helping her headache).

...it's the other voices in the very weird tones that really throw her for a loop, though, because she absolutely did not pick up a single word of whatever those squeaks were.

(oh god, maybe there actually are aliens here. great.)

she focuses on peter when he drops onto the deck again, frowning right back at him. she stares silently for a moment, and then, without a word, reaches over for one of the heavy crates that she'd managed to topple. with one hand (and obviously zero effort, she lifts the crate, and sets it back with the others like it weighs just as much as a bag of feathers. ]


There's a few things.

[ —is about the best answer she has for him.

(she also likes to hope it doubles as a "don't try anything funny" demonstration.) ]


Also, why the hell are you speaking English, and all of— that up there was definitely not?

[ translator implant. well, that's nice and sci-fi-y. cool.

but also a little inconvenient for her. ]


Yeah? You were expecting French or...?

[ because she's got a little of that from high school. spoiler: it's terrible. ]

...yeah, I have no idea what those last four are.

[ gramo-whatsian?

space is weird. ]


Either way, I can understand you, so maybe you wanna explain why you're speaking English. Are you human?

[ that's the real question here.

and if yes, how the hell did he get here? ]

[ should have asked first, obviously. first come, first serve on the questions. ]

Just as human as you.

[ she gives a dismissive shrug. ]

Unless you can lift a car, but you know.

[ can you lift a car, quill. can you. ]

Are you from Earth originally?

[ it doesn't help that it's literally her job to dig things up, so asking questions is kind of the natural progression for her here — she's just also pretty pushy about finding shit out sometimes, unfortunately. ]

Sorry I wanna know about the random dude whose ship I'm suddenly on. In space. Definitely not on earth.

My bad.

[ sarcasm drips from every word, with just a hint of aggravation.

her head decides to give a particularly nasty throb at that moment, and she braces herself again, pressing a hand over her eyes. she grimaces, biting the response back and looking out at peter. ]


You gonna answer or not?

[ jess would have something equally unhelpful to add if her head wasn't still throbbing — because she's just as much of a willful shit. ]

I'm fine.

[ except it still feels like the worst hangover of her life, and she's also vaguely nauseated.

excellent. ]


Is space sickness a thing?

[ or maybe however she'd gotten there had just seriously set her body off-kilter. probably that one. ]

I'm not gonna puke.

[ except she really might.

it's taking a whole lot of concentrated effort not to right now, and she's surreptitiously looking around for a trashcan of some kind.

...better than the floor, right? ]

[ she gives him a skeptical look, like she's not entirely sure if he's going to try something or not, but the nausea is making decisions for her right now.

she takes a tentative seat on one of the nearby boxes, forcing herself to breathe out slowly before letting her head rest between her knees. ]


Fuck.

[ get it together, jones. jesus christ. this is not the time for this crap.

she takes a few deep breaths, then looks up at peter again. ]


Exactly— mmf. Exactly how far are we from earth?

Great.

[ she pushes her hair up away from her face, forcing another slow breath. ]

Okay, then how long would it take to get there?
