Stroke 1: Video SN: Bellsareme

[relance]

[The video clicks on with a blond woman sitting in a window in the communal residence. Well, half in the window, she's got one nearly naked leg braced against the window sill, and her other is dangling off below her. She's holding a black cigarette in one hand, and the device in the other. An oversized white shirt men's shirt, splattered with paint streaks covers a black cami and a rather small pair of shorts below it. When she speaks, it's after taking a drag of the clove and her voice has a subtle New York accent in it.]

So, kidnapped to a moon yada yada yada, got that. Things I need to know: where do they sell cloves for the love of fuck because if I have to quit smoking on top of all of this I'm going to lose my fragile little mind. Two: how does one go about finding studio space for artists. Clearly this whole camp set up isn't going to work for that especially because I'm supposed to be a freelance fine artist for my assigned job.

And three, at the risk of being redundant, I've heard there's all sorts of fun adults only things going on. So tell me, is lingerie night at Trixie's all it's cracked up to be? I never can turn down an excuse to be wearing stockings and heels.

Oh yeah, I'm Julia Bellamy. Just Julia, mmkay?

[She doesn't want to get into a fight on her first day here, so there's a warning about that.]

[ why is everyone here so young

AS FOR THE KISS REMARK: ]

Ahhh... [ Awkward. ] If only you hadn't paired that with I wasn't even born yet...

[ He's kidding! ]

Welcome to Quarantine. Er. Riverview. That sounds a lot more welcoming than quarantine... Welcome to Riverview!

[relance]

You do realize it's possible to be born past the eighties and yet also to be 30, right?

[Jules, honey. You are doing math so so so wrong. And have forgotten what your birthday is.]

Riverview works, even though it sounds like some sort of mental facility for the criminally insane. It's even got the whole wall thing.

[bardish]

Yeah, in a time-is-relative, people could be from my future kind of way. But! That's a little ways beside the point.

[ Not that there was actually a point, anyway. He was just making a jokey comment in response to her jokey comment! ]

Does it? In my experience, they tend to include words like Harmony or Serenity in the name...

[relance]

[Oh you're cute. Too bad you think she's too young for you, Jeff.]

I've sure I've seen one or two with some sort of view in their name. Hillview, Bayview, and so on and so forth.

[bardish]

[ G R O A N. ] God, you're right. [ He can totally see it. ] If this place were called Serenity View, we'd really be in trouble.

[relance]

[That just makes her laugh.]

Well, aren't we in trouble anyway? I mean in the long run.

[bardish]

Do you mean... because we're here, or in some broader existential way?

[relance]

A little from A, a little from B. I mean here be monsters and everything else they tell ya when you show up.
