[Look who's smoking and no one was surprised. However, she's down to her last pack.]

This certainly puts a wrench into my project. I guess I could use the break, though. You can only look at binary numbers for so long before you start to get cross-eyed.

Also, I'm willing to set up a deal with anyone who can... trim my hair. [Only she can cut it.]

[There's another pause.]

And lastly, I'll begin a trade for tobacco products. Any.

[Being on the moon felt like her first day in Exsilium]

What do you mean with trimming, exactly? I might have some ideas.

Oh and tobacco products. You mean smokes?

[ Ella is decided to help with things she doesn't particularly agree about. At least for now. ]

[controlledvariable]

i can do it. your hair, i mean.

[She's had to learn how to be self-sufficient and she's cut her friends' hair before.]

but i'm not sure if smoking is a great idea in an enclosed space when we have limited oxygen supply.

[just saying]

[she's staring at you, steph. staring. staring.

fine.

lisbeth extinguishes her cigarette.]

then any kind of nicotine. i can get nasty. or nastier.

voice;

[hejhej]

Ideally, but smoking with limited oxygen is frowned upon. So any way to get tobacco or nicotine.

voice;

[lar]

I'm pretty sure I can do tobacco. I might need to see some of it beforehand though.

Also, hair dying isn't all the difficult. I'm no hairdresser though.

voice;

[hejhej]

[hair dying? sweet jesus, it's music to her ears.]

Do you think you could get black hair dye?

voice;

[lar]

Uh, not really. I think I could make your hair naturally black. At least all the visible hair, I think.

[ She has some experience with affecting living organisms, but it's usually healing. She did give someone a hair color change once, so she's pretty sure it's doable. ]

voice;

[hejhej]

[huh.

huh.]

Is it reversible?

[lisbeth was by no means accepting of her naturally red hair, but she knew of a few people who liked it.]

voice;

[lar]

I'm pretty sure it is. I mean, it's just making it the color it was before.

So I might need to see your natural color before changing it... and you might want to keep some of it in case I make all your hair black, ever.

[highhealplz]

I hear that's bad for you.

[hejhej]

I know, but my hair is getting too long.

[highhealplz]

[ a pause — and he smiles. ]

What if it never grows back?

voice;

[hejhej]

[You think after all this time, she'd be used to this stuff, but it still made her somewhat uneasy.

However, not having to worry about her hair losing the dye...]

Okay, I can do that.

voice;

[lar]

Okay, good. It's ridiculously simple and almost instant, so you know, whenever you want.

[ The hair, not the tobacco. The tobacco might take a little longer. ]

[hejhej]

[she shrugs.]

It keeps people guessing.

[there's a tiny delay as Steph sees if her belt will give her nicotine gum and/or patches up. nope.]

and i'm here if you need someone to beat up in the meantime.

[controlledvariable]

i've got a few people i'm teaching, but i'm not sure i wanna throw 'em in the deep end right now.

[Because there's a difference between teaching and sparring.]

there's some friends from back home who might be interested in something a little roughter

[good old helena and dinah]

[vaccination]

Binary numbers?

voice

[hejhej]

Binary code, actually. I misspoke. But it's essentially the language of computers made up of a series of ones and zeros.

voice

[vaccination]

Aren't computers supposed to be smart? Why don't they use actual letters?

[biwinning]

Well look who'th athking for help now. Maybe I do have those "tobacco productsth" you want. I bet you have bologna to trade for them.

[He... doesn't know bologna is just meat. He thinks he learned a new swear.]

voice

[hejhej]

Uh--

[Lisbeth has never had to explain the concept of computers before. She thinks for a second before she thinks she's got a good answer.]

A computer doesn't have a.. real brain. Or like. Its brain can only process information in numbers. So each letter you type on your tablet is being processed as numbers by the tablet.

[hejhej]

Why would I have bologna? That shit is gross.

[biwinning]

... Wait.

What ith bologna?
