[ The feed flickers on and there is a disembodied hand being held in view, waving in a friendly sort of way. Jason dips his face into view, he's grinning wildly; ]

Anybody need a hand??

[ He starts laughing as if the joke is the funniest thing in the world. Somewhere off-screen, Vaas can be heard chanting "Soylent Green is people!"

The hand waves again before the feed flickers off. That's it. That's the post. ]

( ooc: sorry. replies will come from both jason and vaas! )

[ Vaas grins. ]

Motherfucking circle of life, hermana.

[ He could sing it, but he doesn't. But he could. ]

Serves that cocksucker right.

[doxing]

Karma always comes back around, even if you're on a foreign ship in the middle of dead space!

(makes a finger-gun at the arm, because uhhh,) Do we know who that belongs to, Vaas?

[shabby]

Hm? [ He glances in the direction of her finger, focusing on the severed appendage. ] I don't know. We found it in the orange juice. There were sausage fingers too.

[doxing]

So, lemme lay this all out in the way I understand it.

(steeples finger...s... trying not to laugh. don't do it.)

They made you breakfast.

[shabby]

Sure. They made everybody breakfast. Those little emergency buffets they set up in the food court sometimes. [ He grins, not taking this seriously at all. ] This morning they were serving soylent green I guess.

[doxing]

If I'd known, I would've provided the forks that tried to attack me in zero-g. Ay, all the missed opportunities...

(a sigh, finally lifting her head.)

We know they might be human, now, with their knowledge of breakfast buffet. That's good info, see? You and Jason are doing all the work for us.

[shabby]

Forks?

[ There's a disconnect here. Vaas stares at her image blankly, not comprehending her comment about the forks or the rest of it. ]

They who? What are you talking about?

[ Someone doesn't know there's been killings on board. That someone is Vaas. ]

[doxing]

I had a little run-in...

(actually it's kind of embarrassing, so she's SKIPPING OVER THAT.)

You didn't hear about the other two instances? There's been a killing on the residence floor, in one of the rooms they found another arm. Then a bit earlier this week, they found organs all strung from a tree in the atrium. With a heart in a box, if I recall this bullshit correctly.

(??? yeah, crazy man.)

[shabby]

What?

[ Instead of being alarmed by this news, Vaas is bewildered edging toward outraged. Something interesting is happening and he's missing it! ]

When the fuck did that happen? [ He frowns, now just fucking disappointed. ] I didn't hear about any of that.

[doxing]

(bringing up a holo-screen to figure out exact dates for him.)

Looks like the arm was on the sixteenth, with Zelos. The organ tree was on the nineteenth, with Kara and Ichi; you must have been busy with that tiger mech you found.

[shabby]

[ He brightens at that. ]

Do you like my tiger? It would be better if it was real but what can you do.

[doxing]

I really, really like your tiger.

(a pause, considering.)

I might be able to make it dance for you, sometime. Can't guarantee anything.

[shabby]

Really? You can make a statue dance?

[ Vaas just likes her more and more every day. ]

[doxing]

(oh no, he called it a statue, that's adorable...........)

That's a mech, Vaas. A big-ass robot in the shape of a cat. Cute stripes additions, though.

[shabby]

A mech? What is that? Sounds like some kind of Hollywood word.

[ He knows movies but sadly not all movies. ]
