( closed ) a very so merry night we hold dear
WHO: ishmael, rodion
WHAT: the two sinners celebrate christmas!
WHERE: redemption room 008
WHEN: christmas eve
WARNINGS: some projmoon-related horrors might come up, along with canto v spoilers. see opt-out for more info.
[ well, she did tell rodion that she's going to come over to her room at some point. catch up on things, feast on good food, all that fun stuff. the sinners don't usually ask for more than that, aside from the usual desires of money and more food, and they're usually rewarded after a successful retrieval of the golden bough with more food.
it's no different here, though they have yet to hear about their first upcoming mission. but the holidays are growing nearer and nearer, so why not celebrate for surviving up to this point. so ishmael spent the entire day weaving in and out of various shops and restaurants for some cheap takeouts that she can afford on her meager budget, then trudge back to base with her hands full and -- hold on, she's going to put her stuff down first before knocking on rodya's door at the Redemption hall. ]
Come on, Rodya. We don't have all night.
[ please take her in, she's cold and tired ]

rodya's loneliness is palpable. the woman may have brushed off sonya's words like it was nothing, but there's no way there isn't any truth in that. every single citydweller is lonely. it's how their society operates, after all. ]
You should go and meet more people, then. Some of the guys here are pretty nice like you, you know.
[ new people can be daunting, but so far it's been fun meeting them -- even if ish is being mildly mean towards some of them. she almost got robbed, ok. ]
How can you be so sure that you're gonna go back to the bus well before me? [ she huffs, picking up another chicken for her to eat by hand. ] If anything, we should consider the possibility of one of ours getting whisked over here. You can have them use the couch in the meantime.
[ it's joke ]

[Even if it's truly not hers as some things are-]
Yeah, there is some decent folks around us. I'm working on it, but old habits will persist. [For now, she is working on these noodles and booze. Ishmael does have a point that some folks aren't that bad. It's mostly because they are not raised in The City, where she is so used to the normal behaviors there. Even if she doesn't like to think on certain thoughts, it is something to think about when she is alone and going through her mind. Anyways-]
If you have to take a guess on which one of ours will show up next, who do you pick? [Might as well make a game out of it.]

[ ishmael is so used to seeing that on the boat, with ahab roping in as many people to replace the sailors they'd lost during whaling. and this isn't even about pursuing the Pallid Whale -- it's just natural to lose deckhands what with the natural disasters they encounter at see. ishmael is just numb to all that now.
so in truth, she really doesn't want rodion to go. but she can't just say that out loud, wtf. ]
If I had to pick, it'd be... [ she scrunches up her face in thought. let's see... ] Gregor? Imagine what this place could do with his arm. It might actually fix him.
no subject
Right? It could make him better! [Or worse, but its the holidays so *~positivity~*] Or you know, help make his life a bit more comfortable with his situation. Old man might need a bit to adjust himself to the tech changes.
[It honestly doesn't take long for her to finish a cup of noodles, setting it down to the side so she can sip on her beer more.]
Don would have a fun time if she got picked up. Think they will love her energy. [A chuckle.] She got the enthusiasm for it, even if she might break something along the way.
no subject
[ it'd be really, really funny to watch, though. since they're on their own here, ishmael doesn't have to keep tabs on don if the blonde does manage to land here. she'll be LILITH's problem till further notice.
she's finished with her food, so give her a moment to stash it away. let's see, are there any other snacks nearby for dessert... ]
