01. UNFORTUNATE INVASION (CLOSED TO YENNEFER)

( there's a lot of fucking people packed into this station and more showing up all the time. you can't step outside without running into someone who might ask a question or might wanna talk about everything and nothing. billy's gotten used to the solitude of his room, enjoying the respite he has. he can lock the door and shut everything out and pretend that he's back home, just waiting to get up and get dressed and take care of business.

of course, his business here is the business of orbs and he's not sure he really likes it. but, it's not like he can fucking change it either. he can't just open the door and take a space walk home. he's stuck and that's a fucking nnoying.

the bed's are too thin, the walls a weird color but it's still his room and billy take advantage of that by tossing a ball that he'd found on the last planet against the wall. he's splayed on his bed, betting himself that he can hit certain spots and then doing it before the ball comes back and he catches it.

he's won a lot of money against himself. he's very wealthy now. be jealous. )

02. MESS HALL

( maybe billy's gonna live here now. maybe he's going to move his shit out of his room and live in the fucking mess hall because he is certainly not going to live with that fucking woman, whoever she is. what kind of a name was yennefer anyway? did whoever birthed her mishear her mother naming her jennifer?

it's stupid. that woman is stupid.

for once, while he's in the mess, he's not drinking. well, he is but it's water. he's made himself a plate of food and he's sitting his ass on the table instead of the bench, tapping his foot while he tries to clear his head. if there's new people showing up, billy wonders if that means they're going to be punted to a new planet sometime soon to save another fucking orb.

he shakes his head, growling under his breath because what fucking luck. maybe he will take that space walk. )

03. WILDCARD

( if you'd like to do something else space station related, hit me up. i'm at jortles for questions. )

Then at least consider shutting the fuck up so I can actually get some rest.

[ There's no aggression in her voice, though, not even anything that could be described as an order; mostly, she just sounds tired, worn down, as she gives him a pointed look with both eyebrows raised before readjusting her head against the pillow. ]

[cheapbastard]

I've considered it and I think I'll do whatever the fuck I want to. I was here first.

( ah yes, the classic line of how to get what he wants. )

Put earplugs in.

[choicely]

[ Yennefer merely stares at him, a look that has prompted lesser men to quaver and practically piss themselves where they stand.

It's quite another thing to be met with someone who is entirely unmoved by comparison, but she doesn't regard him with any more consequence than someone who has the potential to be a significant annoyance — and only as long as she deems it necessary to withstand.

Without responding in any other fashion, she shifts to roll over onto her side, facing the wall instead, though she doesn't close her eyes, merely giving the illusion that she's going to sleep. ]

( billy stares back for a long moment before he lays back down on his bed and stares up at the ceiling.

he doesn't say anything though he's very tempted. instead, he closes his eyes and decides to just rest.

not sleep though because he doesn't trust her and doesn't want to wake up in some strange situation or with something drawn on him. )
