You said it. Hey, want a cheeto? You've *gotta* use your chopsticks though. You didn't lose them, *right*?

Americans are so lazy.

That's what a . . . a . . . what's the word, aragaz, a . . . cooker, that's what that's for!

It's a pot full of noodles you add water and microwave it and then you eat it.

What is... Pot Noodle?

It's a new pot noodle flavor. Hungry?

What is this? This isn't your best work, Orson.

'Any news?' she asks, looking expectantly at @agentdaisy.bsky.social for her status report.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

Ajla takes off her snow mask and shakes her beautiful mess of curls out, her face reverting to its factory setting, what their co-worker, Orson, had once described as 'perpetually miffed'. Daisy's known Ajla long enough by now not to take it personally (not that she ever did.)

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

Earth's fairly different from here - for one, aliens are no more than an open secret at best there, one Daisy and Ajla were 'lucky' to be privileged to given their line of work in... Well, espionage, mostly, but anything to do with extraterrestrial life.

She's enjoying her fries when a hand touches her shoulder. She knows instinctively who it is. 'You made me drop a chip.' 'You'll live,' says her company, sitting across from her. Her name is Ajla Vatrashi, and not so long ago she was Daisy's coworker and friend on a far-off planet called Earth.

They're untouched, thank God. Slime-free. She almost loses her footing on the slime trail, but catches herself on another diner, a short red spiky.... man? She apologises, gets out of his way, takes her seat, and begins wolfing down like she hasn't eaten in just forever. Well, she hasn't.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

Daisy doesn't speak their language; to her it sounds like what can only be described as 'if a xylophone could meow', whatever that means. They must be arguing, judging from the way one slithers off, grunting and huffing, and the other follows. Daisy takes the opportunity to lunge for the fries.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

(she assumes - she doesn't actually know how they're made, just that they taste and look like french fries, and gets a gold star in *her* book). The slug couple wobble and jabber their arms, or at least limbs of *some variety*, gesticulating and waving like huge green Jell-O cups.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

Daisy didn't know any of the recipes, nevermind how to pronounce them. All she can think of is those fries, how they're probably cold by now; poor things, peeled, diced, fried, wrapped up and left on a table to be picked at

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

She lets out a groan a hell of a lot like Homer Simpson's, snapping her out of her reverie and causing her to sit up at her bench in the eatery, a circular brightly-lit building full of booths and benches, latches in the walls with stands of different kinds of exotic, alien cuisine.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

In a less philosophical mood, Daisy Van Blair has been watching a slug couple for half an hour now. They have a bowl full of what looks like French fries back home, and her mouth is watering like hell.

find yourself enough leverage to slip through the cracks and end up in a cargo hold. Or, failing both of those, there's force - nothing gets you off-world quicker than the plastic hokey coffins, launched on a one-way trip into the vacuum.

Or the opposite; If you were just trouble enough, and if you hung out in the right bars, slept on the right air grates during the small hours, when the warm air kicks in and carries secrets through its vents potent enough to ferment a whole other kind of contraband, that of information, you might

Sure, it's possible to leave Himsa, if you fill in all your paperwork and you're a good citizen, on one of the Transidyne-owned shuttles once a Transidyne-sponsored calendar month to a Transidyne property in some other backwater part of the galaxy.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

and the Tundra, a ridiculously subtle name for what's basically a white blaze of glory that takes no prisoners and gives even less cruks about those who're foolish enough to get caught up inside it, most know where they'd prefer to take their chances.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 2d

What with your only other two options on Himsa being the Pyramid, property of Transidyne Inc., a glass structure way up north at the pole where only all the smart ones in uniforms from off-world can go and information's kept locked up tighter than the pressure inside a White-Point Star,

When trouble comes to the Line, it takes the path of the back alleys, hiding out from the oppressive programming of the Patrolmen by day and shunting into the underground prohibition bars at night for a good time.

Bourgeoise fuckers.

I didn't go to a school. That's how they brainwash you.

Although, if he's a friend of yours, I'm sure he won't mind if you use a few, no?

your girlfriend of the week @agentdaisy.bsky.social · 5d

He uhhhhhhh goes to another school.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 5d

Really? What friend?

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 5d

Who am I kidding. The answer is always Joel.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 5d

Really? What friend?

your girlfriend of the week @agentdaisy.bsky.social · 5d

NO!!!

anyway I'm HOLDING THEM FOR A FRIEND.

Ajla @agentajla.bsky.social · 5d

Are those poppers?
