00? ( video. ) not sarissa, tho.

( There is a woman on screen who looks remarkably unconcerned.

She also looks familiar, possibly, given that the family resemblance between Sarissa and her grandmother is staggering. Notable differences – this woman is obviously wearing something a little more era appropriate for this place, but still not quite right, in faded green and brown cut to match World War II era demands, all practicality. A scar, or an injury in the process of becoming a scar, cuts down from her left cheekbone towards her jaw, and it creases into something like a dimple when she speaks.

Between the knuckles of her fore and index fingers rests a cigar, white smoke curling upwards and blooming outwards like a drop of ink twisting through water. Her accent, when she speaks, is markedly Greek. )


I have always heard America called the “Land of Opportunity.” Opportunity— ( A small gesture with her free hand, palm flat and facing down - so-so. )

Maybe. Feet draggers, I think, more likely. And poor filing, ah? That is definite.

( There is a little smile, though it’s not a very mirthful thing, as she picks up a file. ) I was giving the paperwork for a Sarissa Theron. They insist it’s mine, but— no. If anyone knows this woman, I think it better these papers get back to safe hands.

( Her smile widens, sharpens. )

My name is Eunike. For the record? This is— cock and balls. Bullshit. Dragging us from our own wars, to fight theirs? That is convenient, no? Cowardice, I think.


( Note: this is related to the Dial Straits plot. Sarissa ported out on the 1st March and this is set on the 3rd – for those two days Sarissa’s device would have been disconnected. Now is back in action, but in the wrong hands. )

Tch. Yeah, for PTSD. That's one of the things he [ a quick gesture over to his sleepeing 'twin' and his dog ] fundraises for here - getting soldiers and other people who could use them therapy dogs.

Uhh...

[Enjoyed is definitely...a strong term, in this context. There's a bit of hesitation, then he offers--]

There's--been good times and bad times, I guess.

[And times when the Russians invaded and all the imports were forcibly put in brainwashing camp and tortured for noncompliance for a week, all before U.S. bombed a city full of innocent civilians because there were people working for the Soviets there.

She doesn't need that kind of detail right off the bat, though.]

Excuse you! We're not eating the pigs and we're not eating Mendel!

[ She can't believe she's defending this stupid bird's honor, but here she is, doing just that. She even moves to stand protectively in front of his aviary. ]

Now do I have to move him into my bedroom to make sure you won't cook him, or can I trust you not to be a complete sociopath?

Fuck, you're from like... The 1940's? You'd probably know it as Shell Shock.

And people say I talk too much.

Are you saying I'm unusual or Sarissa is unusual?
doubleblind: (Titanium)

[personal profile] doubleblind 2017-03-28 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't be jealous because I'm the hot one.

[Cosima, no.]
doubleblind: (Phosphorous)

[personal profile] doubleblind 2017-03-28 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cosima just laughs. It's nothing she hasn't heard before. Well, except the little part.]

Man, how old are you? I can't be that much younger than you...
doubleblind: (Berkelium)

[personal profile] doubleblind 2017-03-28 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Twenty-three? Seriously? You're making me feel old.
doubleblind: (Boron)

[personal profile] doubleblind 2017-03-28 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
29... [She waves one hand in a small circle] Ish? It's hard to keep track of my age here.
doubleblind: (Asparagine)

[personal profile] doubleblind 2017-03-30 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, harsh.

[But Cosima's grinning. Gentle teasing is a time honored clone tradition. This feels infinitely more natural than any other part of their conversation.]

It's... There are parts of it I love, other parts aren't so great.
