(text that will probably end up action)

[resleeves]

what's up, beratna?

[ just keep blaming alex for this one, miller, because it's your name now.

after the arrival of his backpack, kovacs had been laying fairly low, staring at the fucking thing and trying not to see ghosts in the corners of his eyes.

he'd failed at a lot of that. ]

[pampa]

[ he's not the only one seeing ghosts. but he's still not expecting the text, even if he really should be after their last conversation. kovacs is like a dog with a goddamn bone when he gets something in his head. ]

Same as it was last time sabakawala

[resleeves]

i don't know that word. what's it mean?

[ maybe that was another one he could use on someone else that was stuck in this shitty place. ]

do i get to ask about all the dirty words in this language you're speaking?

[pampa]

asshole so there's one for free

[resleeves]

you really mean that, beratna?

i'm touched.

[ would he have given miller the time of day back on earth? probably fucking not but he's not on earth and this place has fucked him up a bit. ]

alcohol's running out, you know.

[pampa]

I really really do

Yeah I noticed. Wanna put a rush on that with me later?

[resleeves]

yeah.

yeah, i do.

if that shit's gonna end up gone, i wanna be the one who finishes it. fuck this station for not being better stocked.

wonder if there's alcohol down on that planet?

[pampa]

There's nobody home down there koyo

Is it desperate enough to start making toilet wine yet? [ yeah he literally has no gauge on this he has to ask ]

[resleeves]

you know that for sure?

and yes, it's getting to that point. just don't tell anyone that it's from the toiulet and i bet they'd still drink it.

[ he might even partake once or twice if things got desperate. ]

[pampa]

No lights no cameras no action I'm probably right

When my schedule starts clearing up I'll get a jump on that

[resleeves]

or you could be wrong.

[ it could happen, miller! just saying. ]

what's got your schedule so full?

[pampa]

But I'm not

I'm on the Case. the Big one [ aka why the fuck they're all here ]

[resleeves]

you might be.

[ you didn't know it all, miller! ]

that right? when did that happen? or has it always been a thing and you're just now getting serious about it?

[pampa]

Station killed Alex and brought him back
guess I've been serious about it since then

[resleeves]

[ well, guess asking if he's all right would be pointless. he was alive, at least. ]

huh.

how'd it kill him?

[pampa]

it was real fucked up like it squeezed all the water out of the guy until he was just
gone

[resleeves]

[ okay, that actually sounded fairly terrible. he'd died a few times but they'd always been fairly violent and quick.

nothing like that. ]

was he aware of it happening?

was he awake?

[pampa]

At first yeah
One of those robot guys got us the footage
and it is not for the faint of heart

[resleeves]

[ kovacs wants to see it but he doesn't. he's pretty much desensitized to death in all forms but watching someone drained of everything in them doesn't sound pleasant. ]

but he came back.

how the fuck is that even possible without a new sleeve to dump in him?

[ it's a hypothetical question more than anything. ]

[pampa]

It shouldn't be possible
but I watched it happen with my own two eyeballs and so did the rest of the crew
It happened

[resleeves]

you barf?

[ this was him sympathizing. ]

[pampa]

No [ mostly because he doesn't eat though ]

[resleeves]

good.

i would have made fun of you if you did.

[pampa]

your overwhelming moral support is stifling me

[resleeves]

you saying you wouldn't do the same thing if our positions were reversed?
