I hope this hurts- Mouthwashing

Boarding the Tulpar

(Jimmy's POV)

The inside was oddly nice, not that it's a place id like to be in 24/7 all year..but I suppose it's alright for this long run delivery.

I sigh as I make my way to my sleeping quarter, as Pony Express wanted everyone to have their own separate rooms because last time they grouped people together in one room..

Another worker ended up assaulting another, and the company only changed this after they were threatened to be sued by the Assaulted.

-I know I've done some questionable stuff in my sick life, but even that.. Assaulting another coworker makes me sick.-

The sleeping quarter is no different then a small room with a bed, a small bathroom and shower. Sorta like a mini apartment minus the kitchen.

Every sleeping quarter is the same, but can be decorated to at least bring some comfort with the long journey..I don't nessarily care for the decorating part, but as long as I can relax and smoke once in awhile I'll be ok...

As I put my bags under the bed I hear footsteps, I look up and I see the weird kid watching me.

"Hey!" He smiles that weird cheeky smile, "What do you want kid?" I groan as I dig through my bags for my meds, so I can set them out for tonight.

"Just wanted to be make friends with the people I'm gonna be with for awhile!" He smiles again. I sigh, and rub my eyes..he was only a kid, a teen at best but still a kid.

I couldn't tell him to fuck off, even though I wished I could. I couldn't just snap at people I find annoying, I already payed my price trying to do that.

"And how's that going for you?" I say not looking at him, as I finally find my pills. "Well.. I did just start.." he chuckled nervously. I sigh, "Well, I'm the wrong person to start with kid" I respond still not looking at him.

He blinks a bit, "Kid?" I look at him confused by his confusion, "You are just a kid, right?"...

(Daiuske's POV)

I shake my head no, "I'm 18, if that's what your asking?" I nervously chuckle. I don't know why this was so hard, talking to people normally is my gift..but talking to The Co pilot sorta made me nervous of a disapprove of sorts.

His eyes widen a bit when I reveal my age, "18?, Damn" he mutters to himself, my eyes turn to look at the pills he puts on the night table, "What do you need pills for?" He doesn't answer but I suppose I am being a bit snoopy on his things.

"Right, sorry" I say while fiddling with the rings on my fingers, "Well, uh..See you later!" I say skipping out of the room and to someone else.

My parents always told me my constant skipping, and dancing made me seem more girlish than Boyish. Which I never truly understood what they meant by that..

But while I'm skipping I accidentally bump into Swansea who barely even budges when I almost crash into him.

"Hey!" He calls out before turning his head to look, his face shows a disapproving glare that I'm most familiar with.

"I am so so sorry!" I say, "The hell are you trying to do Kid?!" He doesn't sound like he's yelling but he's most definitely loud.

"I just wanted to make friends with the people that I would be staying with and I wasn't paying attention while I was walking.." he sighs, "Of course it's kids like you wanting to make 'friends' on a ship like this" he mutters before walking off.

Guess that was somewhat better than expected, but could of gone better if I was paying attention.

I fiddle with the rings on my finger as I walk about the Tulpar, I knew it was gonna be big..but not this big..

Somehow in my exploration I end up in the Medic Bay where Anya is, I curiously peek inside and see her also exploring..but my assumption is because she should know where the medical equipment is since, she is the nurse..

I gently Knock on the door which practically makes Anya jump out of her skin, "Sorry" I say as I walk in, Anya hold her hand to her heart as she gets up, "You scared me to death Daiuske"

I chuckle, more soft an innocent then a mocking one "Well, I didn't mean for that to happen" I can practically hear her heart beating through her chest at this point.

"Is there something you needed?" She asked, still trying to calm down.

"Well, I wanted to make some friends with the people here and, I'm not nessarily doing a good job as doing so.." I say rubbing the back of my neck, the metal of rings feel cold against my skin.

Her expression softens even more, "I see.." she fiddle a bit with her sleeves, similarly to my ring fiddling.

"I just, want to make a good couple first impressions..my parents said first impressions are everything for a workplace" Anya seems to slightly frown at that, "Well, despite that scare earlier I think your doing a great job"
