Just Say Ow

[godimgood.livejournal.com]

Geoffrey was wandering, naked. Again. After losing everything to that new game of 'poker,' he'd been in the media library (again) trying to catch up with at least Javert when it came to all this strange, futuristic stuff. The result of those hours spent, unfortunately, was confusion, a pounding headache, and stars before his eyes.

He'd sort of wandered down toward the medical area, because the pain was truly ridiculous, but he didn't really think they'd have anything overly helpful. Books, real books, with proper spelling and a non-glowing surface to read from, those were the things he truly needed.

"Damn my eyes," he muttered - not entirely without humor - as he paused to rub at them. "Damn them to a hell worse than this, just as soon as I'm done using them."

"If you're going to do that, at least make sure you line up replacements first," Meluly says, pausing in her process of passing by.

She's wearing a length of red silk wrapped around her halfway between a sari and a toga—it may well have been a window drape or something in the first place. No plant-suit, though it repeatedly hints at revealing a bit more than needed to remain modest.

Geoff looks at the very strange woman (demon? again?) warily, but well, anyone with the sense to not wander around naked deserves some credit. "I was planning to let them take their journey only after my death," he says.

Still, she might be a demon, unlike some others. He takes a few steps back, just to be safe.

Luly's eyebrows inch upwards. "You don't like those stupid suits either?" she asks , breaking into a small smile.

Well, it is pretty obvious what he doesn't have on.

"They hardly provide proper covering, and the pulsating was a bit much," Geoff admitted with a slow grin. Maybe she was a friendly demon.

Or some strange, strange person who has very unique skin problems.

Those silver-white tattoo patterns—they cover most of her body—look a bit too regular and stylistic to be a skin condition, at least.

"Mmm... I hope I can actually get some real clothing sometime. Even my uniform would be better..."

"I miss my coat," Geoff supplies. "Or any coat, really."

Luly chuckles a little and nods. "I wouldn't mind—anything. Better than the living...eugh." Her face twists. "This whole place is so creepy."

[godimgood.livejournal.com]

Chaucer could only nod agreement along with that. This place was, indeed, very creepy.

But still, there is one thing he'd like to know, "So it is. Ah, begging your pardon, but I don't suppose you'll tell me what you are?"

That was probably offensive.

"Nazzadi," Luly says, giving Chaucer a somewhat incredulous how-don't-you-know-that look.

[godimgood.livejournal.com]

Chaucer blinks a couple times, slowly, as he tries to remember if he'd ever heard of that.

He hadn't.

"Is that by any chance Moorish?"

[aworldnevermade.livejournal.com]

"What-ish?"

[godimgood.livejournal.com]

"I'll take that as a no."

Luly shrugs a little, obviously confused.
