[Eddie rubs his face with an exasperated look to start, taking a breath to try and calm himself and offering a stiff smile.]

Hey- uh...so since getting literally anything out of our hosts is pretty much impossible- [Whoop, wee bit tense there, draw it back.] -I uh...well I've been working on this.

[He holds up a picture to the camera of a stamp he's made on a scrap of paper.]



Figure not everyone uses their replicator...allotments or whatever, and my usual method of making money isn't going to work here, so- if anyone needs shit done or whatever...? Apparently I'm good at offering my body up to medical science these days? Or uh- I dunno, I can play delivery boy, or...whatever you need.

[He grins then, and adds-]

I'll be sure to have some of these available when I play at the Deep End if anyone's looking to tip.

[ooc: Thanks to Bear for turning my silly sketch into a stamp!]

What do you mean offering your body up to medical science?

Video

[the_freak]

Gave some blood for a test tests.
And then gave some more blood to a different guy for...different tests.
And the first lady said she'll help make me some sleep aid if I help test them, so...

[He shrugs his shoulders.]

Nothing too out there so far?

Video

[beyourzoomer]

[She relaxes, not entirely sure why that had made her so tense so immediately.]

Oh. Okay.

[She isn't surprised to hear he's having trouble sleeping. Or at least she assumes he is.]

Any luck on the sleep aids?

Video

[the_freak]

What did you think, I was letting them poke around in my brain or something? I would not be the ideal subject for that one.

[He sighs and shakes his head.]

Nah, not yet. Nothing medical at least. Drinking helps.

[He plays it off with a laugh.]

[She shrugs a little, because truthfully she's not sure what she'd thought there for a minute. But she'd heard a lot from El about medical tests and experiments against her will, and -- well. Nothing good had come to mind, apparently.]

Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

[And she grimaces a little at that.]

So alcohol is a thing here too?

Video

[the_freak]

All good, Red.
Trust me. Not looking to get into any more trouble here.

[He looks momentarily guilty, but it's not enough that he really reconsiders whether he should carry on or anything.]

Well, it sure tastes like it. [Maybe not the best time to joke.]

[beyourzoomer]

[Eddie is definitely the only person that can get by with calling her Red. Maybe because it genuinely feels like a nickname and not a form of mocking. She doesn't want to punch him over it.]

I'm definitely a fan of you avoiding trouble.

[Mostly because...well. She's not sure how much help she'd be if he were to get into some kind of trouble here. They don't have the others here to help figure that sort of shit out.]

Good to know, I guess.

[deal_me_in]

That mean I should start charging rental on my end?

[Video]

[the_freak]

I bring in business. Really you should be paying me.

[Video]

[deal_me_in]

You sure about that? Business has been lookin' the same to me, just with one extra power sink.

[Is the robot smirking at you? Yes, yes he is.]

[Video]

[the_freak]

No, there totally more, there's a solid little crowd of like...two or three people. Sometimes.

Come on, you like the music, right?

[Smirking robot. Eddie is in some kind of heaven, clearly.]

[Video]

[deal_me_in]

The chicken and I do not count.

Oh, I'm not complaining about the music, I'm just saying, since you're using my space as a venue and now a back office so...

[Video]

[the_freak]

Heeeey, don't discount the chicken. He's like my number one fan. He head bangs like a champ.

[He sigh dramatically.]

How big a cut do you want?

[audio]

[newmemorywhodis]

Did you ask for soup?

[audio]

[the_freak]

...why would I ask for soup?

[newmemorywhodis]

It says soup on the box.

It gives you soup.

[Surely this is obvious?]

[the_freak]

...It also says lies.

[newmemorywhodis]

I got soup.

[the_freak]

Well, aren't you just a special little- [a breath] ... That's great. Really. I'm happy for you.

[butterfly_kiss]

And Medical Science appreciates it.

What in the world are you seeking to trade for?

[the_freak]

Anything new for your favourite lab rat to test?

My music collection needs replenishing now that I'm here. And I'm working on some entertainment for the masses.

[butterfly_kiss]

I've whipped up an initial approach to a sedative. You implied interest.

[the_freak]

Interest still very much implied. When can I try it?

[butterfly_kiss]

Whenever you're available to potentially sleep for a while.

[the_freak]

How long of a while are we talking?
