[At some point in the middle of the day, some idle day before they get shipped off to Woodhurst, Riza fires off the following message because she has time on her hands and also she's nosy.]
Uh, I think I'm going with "eccentric widow." I figure I'll just spin it as the situation dictates. It's probably easier to get away with stuff if people think you're nuts. (And rich.)
Oh, it's Dipper. He's alright, yeah, but. You know. It'll throw a wrench in playing house.
Not that I'm bragging. [She is, a little. She doesn't expect they'll have a lot of downtime to relax, but there was enough during Zeta-12 and Perdition's Rest that she's expecting some.]
Well, it kills some of the privacy! That's got to be the biggest perk to this mission, everyone is spread out. You don't have to worry about thin walls 🍆🍆🍆 Haha
[SCREAMS............. Fiona doesn't embarrass easily, but oh my god she's thankful this isn't video because her face just turned into a volcano. Riza is just so matter-of-fact about it, she can't even tell if she's joking or being dead serious.]
WELL I mean yes sort of. Though the dossier says transmission through bodily fluids, so probably... caution... is in order.....
[While that is true, Fiona worries that "bodily fluids" is all-encompassing; she'd rather not get infected with some interdimensional virus via saliva. That would be embarrassing.
But, more importantly --] Wait, are you saying you don't have birth control. On your home planet. [????]
We do. [Fiona please????] I was trying to imply that my planet had such things, then surely a more advanced planet would as well. But perhaps that's an incorrect assumption to make.
[A world without birth control....terrifying.]
that's fine, i still have the right number of comments
[OH THANK GOD, that was a scary thought.] Oh. Well, yeah. You can never really guess that kind of thing. Maybe their culture doesn't allow for it, technological advancements or not. I haven't read anything about it one way or another; mostly it's just history...

So. How are things going?

[Sorry but not sorry at all.]
Did you settle on a cover story yet?
no subject
What about you?
no subject
[That's a thing that happens in books, right? As for her—]
Apparently I'm moving with my husband and child to a new town to start a new job.
[No guesses as to who the husband or child are.]
no subject
Haha, you guys got saddled with a kid? That's depressing, but I guess someone had to take one for the team.
no subject
[Except for the whole taking showers on the regular and keeping his room stuff, but they're working on that.]
Which is for the best—I doubt I would make a good mother in actuality.

Look at it, 🍆 You know, eggplant 🍆🍆🍆
It's phallic.

[Last she checked, dicks weren't purple?? But admittedly she is not a doctor of any sort.]
Is this another one of those "modern" terms of phrase everyone has been encouraging us to use to blend in?
no subject
Um actually I don't think emojis existed at this time period. So don't... talk about eggplants? You know, in case you get the urge.
no subject
[Just casually ruins this conversation some more.]
adds a random 2/2, why not
Is that what you're looking forward to, privacy and 🍆?
no subject

i regret this entire thread
Surely they have some form of protection [read: condoms] in Woodhurst, if the city is meant to be more advanced than what I'm used to.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to raise a small herd of children.
[Or maybe things are different in the 90s, who knows??]
i'm using this for AC so the mods can witness it :)
But, more importantly --] Wait, are you saying you don't have birth control. On your home planet. [????]
oh my god, i'm deleting all my tags

You could always ask for extras before you leave.
[Someone in Personnel Resources probably keeps a diagram of all the bangs happening.]
:)

[Anyway this is all getting a hair awkward, time to reroute this conversation.]
Are there other....symbols like the eggplant I should know about?
[Emojis, she means emojis.]
