[ It's a glorious day with the fake birds singing in the simulation room...
During this time, and into the early morning hours until they're either tossed out or taken, there's a surplus of alcoholic drinks in the mess hall from the bar.
It's a normal Tuesday.
Yuri is in the mess hall for breakfast and she sees these drinks on the table. She's very glad that they're not dumped everywhere like the first day's bathroom incident, but... why though. ]
the way harley is just. going to take in the booze for all of two seconds, before she shrugs and grabs a bottle from one of the tables. yoink! this is hers now.]
No clue! But you know what they say about horses and mouths and free alcohol.
[she may peep at her thoughts but they are not very helpful... something about shark men? and bat men? furries.
she finishes chugging and wipes her mouth.]
Anyway, as I was saying. Don't trust douchebags who hitch a ride to the bar on horseback. I mean, so pretentious. Who's picking up the literal horseshit they leave behind? Not them!
Yuri has so many questions, but she's not sure if she's brave enough to ask since it seems Harley seems to think Yuri understands what she's talking about?? help ]
[just give her a few minutes and she'll have his head on a pike for being a backstabber tbh]
Oh, no, he was very fucking wrong. Fuck him and fuck most people. You're trying your damn best, ain't you? No one should be callin' anyone dead weight, much less some backstabbing asshole who's sooooo insecure about his micropenis that he's gotta bring other people down to feel all nice and smug about himself.
Ever heard of fake it till you make it? Bein' confident is at least 75% pretending you're more comfortable in a situation than you really are until you're so used to it, you own that shit like a boss. That or you can be born a crazy bitch like me, but I did go to jail, like... a lot. So as a licensed therapist I would recommend the first one.
[she's awake! it looks like she just got out of the pods a little while ago, judging by the fact that she's still wearing the outfit and collar she arrived in. she takes a moment to blink at yuri with her remaining eye, staring at her for a sec... before she nods.]
... I heard there was a monster that used my appearance. I'm really sorry about the trouble that caused.
[ Even though she was no part of it?? ]
Um, when I saw your injuries when you were in the pod, I got some things for you.
[ She gets out a bundle of plastic bags from her bag, handing it over to Harley, which has four more boxes that look like the kind where you put necklaces in. But they're not necklaces. 1, 2, 3, 4! ]
What? No, you don't need to say you're sorry. Besides, I got monster-Yuri so help us for a while so she wasn't so bad, ya know?
[monster yuri was an mvp until she had to die. no apologizing? gosh.
harley raises an eyebrow when she's handed the bundle, looking through them and opening the boxes to inspect the contents. after a moment, she smiles.]
Aw, Yuri... This is so damn sweet of you! I love them. [these are so cute, actually. weh.] Guess this means I'm an official member of the eyepatch club, huh?

What happened here...?

the way harley is just. going to take in the booze for all of two seconds, before she shrugs and grabs a bottle from one of the tables. yoink! this is hers now.]
No clue! But you know what they say about horses and mouths and free alcohol.
no subject
She's so confused by what Harley says. ]
I... don't, actually.
no subject
[honestly, if she's going to be stuck here for eight weeks, she refuses to be fully sober for it.]
Actually— Unless you're at a bar. Always be suspicious of free drinks from strangers. And horses.
no subject
Is there something particular about horses from your home world?
[ She already felt suspicious about these drinks because they're just out here. Harley so brave. ]
no subject
what does that mean.]
no subject
So she will wait for her to finish drinking or start conveying her thoughts by temporary mass sharing. ]
no subject
she finishes chugging and wipes her mouth.]
Anyway, as I was saying. Don't trust douchebags who hitch a ride to the bar on horseback. I mean, so pretentious. Who's picking up the literal horseshit they leave behind? Not them!
[is this still the same conversation.]
no subject
Yuri has so many questions, but she's not sure if she's brave enough to ask since it seems Harley seems to think Yuri understands what she's talking about?? help ]
Did they wrong you before?
[ this is so much. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Her eyes go wide. Girl!!! They're at the mess hall!! ]
But that sounds terrible. I'm sorry for the loss.
[ They're just boots, yuri. ]
week one, saturday.
she's walking her twins a while after trial when she runs into yuri, who is doing the zombie shuffle...]
... Ohhh, you're not looking good.
no subject
--Ah. Hello. Am I in your way?
[ From walking her twins. ]
no subject
You doin' okay, though?
no subject
[ aka she's not special in that regard ]
no subject
Thanks. It just about broke my heart...

[ ... ]
I wanted to ask you a question. The profile said that you were a doctor, but what area were you specialized in?
[ what is psychotherapy. Yuri doesn't know what that really means. ]
no subject
no subject
Oh, yes... I was wondering if that sort of field would be useful here.
no subject
no subject
That's true, but I was wondering if there was something else, such as extracting information based on how you talk to someone...

[ Harley!! Please!! ]
w3 monday
She did not miss seeing Hopkins.
:agony: ]
no subject
... Oh, that son of a bitch! Gimme a bat and 5 fucking minutes, and I'll show him who's dead weight!
no subject
Yuri gives a lopsided smile in return. She would not stop Harley from killing Hopkins, really. ]
... He wasn't wrong, but... that's how most people felt about me, even if they didn't know me.
no subject
no subject
Oh, no, he was very fucking wrong. Fuck him and fuck most people. You're trying your damn best, ain't you? No one should be callin' anyone dead weight, much less some backstabbing asshole who's sooooo insecure about his micropenis that he's gotta bring other people down to feel all nice and smug about himself.
no subject
... I hope to even have a smidgen of your confidence one day.
week three, thursday.
harley is checking up on her at some point before curfew. hi.]
Did they get ya to the pods?
no subject
Yes. I'm taking a short break from the pods, but I will be back inside them before we... fall asleep.
[ Yeah. Right now, she's just lying down on the cot inside the medbay. She's being responsible about her injuries. ]
no subject
no subject
Yuri seems interested and nods. What is your wisdom, Harley? }
no subject
no subject
Set an alarm or somethin' so time doesn't sneak up on you. You don't need to wake up with a stiff neck on top of everything else.
no subject
[ Well, with all she talks about bat bashing and other crazy things, that seems to track. But that's not the thing she's most concerned with. ]
Can I really fake it so well even if I'm bad at lying?
no subject
I don't particularly mind. It's a lot more comfortable than other cramped spaces I've been in.
w4 thursday
Harley...? Are you awake?
no subject
Hey, Yuri. I'm up.
no subject
... I heard there was a monster that used my appearance. I'm really sorry about the trouble that caused.

I wasn't sure which one you would have liked...
no subject
[SHAMELESSLY. sometimes........ you simply go to jail.]
Lying's a skill like any other, right? You'll get better at it if you keep practicing.

Haha... if you'd like. I'm glad you like them, Harley. I didn't expect it to help you out either... that must have been a confusing situation.
no subject
[she's slapping on one of the eyepatches immediately, for the record. eyepatch club!]

[ Eyepatch club! Too bad she dies the week after and my notifs have gone awol. ]

It's not your fault, Harley. I was just worried. I'm glad that everyone is alive anyway.
