001 - audio - spider in the roses

[biotictouch]

[ You heard it here first, folks. If you're listening, there's a rather angry sounding banshee woman who's had about enough of this place, and would've liked to go home hours ago. But here she is, with a bit of a sniffle behind her thick accent. ]

Well, this is just grand. If there's anyone in this wretched place that'd like to talk about bartering some lab equipment, I'd be in your service.

And, I'd also offer services to someone who can get this hay out of my backyard. It simply cannot stay, no matter what.

[ There's a sneeze somewhere in the background. ]

Services rendered depends on what you'd need. I specialize in medicine, but it's not likely what you're thinking.

Good day.

[ Another sneeze. There's probably a red faced, living in a tissue Moira behind that audio somewhere. God someone please come get rid of it for her. She can't go near it. Some things genetic editing can't seem to fix. ]

[ That’s definitely Jesse. ]

With antihistamines, Jesse. I apparently have hay fever.

Which is a riot, seeing as how I’d once worked with you.

[ She don’t like her allergies. :( ]

[deadouttalock]

Hey, hey... big difference between tumbleweeds and barn hay.

[He knows that difference. He knows it well.]

I mean if you don't want your hay I'll gladly take it... but ain't gonna' be easy runnin' a farm with no animal feed. [Moira think of your farm. How will you farm.]

[biotictouch]

[ She’s being awfully mean, she’ll get over it with some Benedryll. Or Claritin. Or both. ]

It wouldn’t be any easier with the inability to breathe nor open my eyes either. I have no interest in keeping a farm, I’d much rather keep the place as simple as possible.

[ She’s so not built for the setting, she’s literally allergic to it. Punctuate that with a sneeze. ]

[deadouttalock]

[She sneezes, he sighs audibly. There's some silence and inarticulate grumbling, like he's having a mild inner debate.]

...I'm short on smokes. Get me some of those and I'll haul the hay out, and anything else you don't want.

[It's going to be a lot of hard work moving it, but he knows a good freebie when he sees one.]

[biotictouch]

Deal.

[ THAT WAS QUICK, she didn't even think about it. Moira agreeing to procure cigarettes, eat your heart out health community she is truly a rebel this afternoon. ]

I appreciate your business.

[ I mean, this was Jesse, she knew he'd stayed on the side of 'good' however subjective that word was, but she doesn't know that he doesn't. ]

[deadouttalock]

[Admittedly he gets a small rise out of making his defacto doctor humor his bad habits... not that she was exactly very moral about those to begin with, which is probably why she fits in so well with Blackwatch.]

No funny business with my business, 'mam.

[He's going to hold her to those nasty smokes!]

[biotictouch]

I'd beg to differ, but if I do, I may be out of a favor.

[ A beat. ]

Really, thank you. This will help me greatly.

[ A rare, sincere Moira moment in the wild! ]
