Never have I ever smoked a cigarette.

[ Mr. Clean Image in all regards, over here... ]

[desperate_times_right]

Ah, you got me.

[Her first drink in this game and it's something she did as a teenager... These sheltered weirdos…]

[sputnik]

Do you still do it? I would offer to snare some of Vasya's smokes for you, but he might actually kill me.

[desperate_times_right]

Occasionally, but not so much anymore. When I was young, I was convinced I’d die at the same age my dad did, so it didn't matter, but I didn't, so…

[pacificator]

Wouldn't want to do anything that might make you seem even slightly cool, right?

[ Anyway: she drinks. She's not a smoker, but she's had at least one back in the day. ]

[sputnik]

They would have kicked me out of Star City!

Do you still smoke now?

[unsheathedfromreality]

[He drinks, but--] Why?

[sputnik]

Cosmonauts have to maintain the cleanest bill of health! A drink every once in awhile is all right, but definitely no smoking.

[unsheathedfromreality]

[They don't have cosmonauts back home but he's good enough at languages to puzzle that one out by the roots.]

You've been to space? How did you,

[wait,]

your home didn't have rings. Did it?

[burying]

[ He can't drink. But he will raise an empty cup as if to signify he has. What a wild teen! ]

[sputnik]

[ Ahhh look at this rebel! Very cool! ]

Do you still?

[solitarysoul]

Really? Huh.

[Someone is from before people figured out they were bad for you. Everybody smokes sometimes, right?]

[sputnik]

You've smoked already? Do you still?

[solitarysoul]

Yeah, every so often. Not really here, of course.

[Since cigarettes were a limited resource and if any where left the smokers were keeping them close.]

[flambeaux]

But you live with Vasiliy.

[sputnik]

We make a wild pair, don't we? [ He laughs brightly. ] I guess it could be said that Vasya smokes enough for the two of us!

[copacetic]

[ Jane pounds a shot of pine liquor and makes a face. Holy shit! That's strong. ]

We could fix that. You want one?

[sputnik]

[ He laughs, brow knit with a mix of amusement and empathy. ...And maybe some longing there, too. Thanks to his little situation, he can't drink alcohol anymore. Wormy, you've taken all the fun out of life! ]

Truthfully, I could probably use one. But I better not! Have to keep up the Space Hero standard. [ He flashes a million-watt grin. ]

[copacetic]

[ Jane shakes her head and rolls her eyes, but she smiles back. What can she say? She loves a himbo. ]

Yeah, well, I guess I can't blame you for that. It's better this way. [ She looks down at the pine liquor and downs the rest of it, no matter how strong it is. When she does, she winces and even coughs a little. It burns going down, but the burn lets her know it's working. Altering her reality. The altered reality so much better than the real one.

She wishes so bad that wasn't the case. ]

Between you and me, I'm not supposed to be drinking. [ She shrugs, hiding the sadness in that statement behind seeming indifference.

God, she's such a fuck-up. ]

[salamanca]

Neither did I, until I found myself here. That stuff's poison for your body.

[ Lalo grins. But he does take a shot, though. ]

[sputnik]

Is it a habit you think you'll continue here?

[salamanca]

Perhaps! It's hard to say. I'd like to quit, but it is pretty addictive once you start. [ A hapless shrug. ]

[cactusy]

Tried it, hated it, never again; I like my lungs.

[sputnik]

It's probably for the best! Things like that seem in especially short supply here. Before long, people will be fighting for a carton.
