meadowlarklogs | sweet vermouth, now you're telling me the truth

[ good question. ]

Half a drink. [ and then, in solidarity: ] I used to sleep in a van. It was about as big as my closet now.

[ to be fair, though, daisy would still sleep in a van today if she didn't have someone else in her bed. or even if she did. illya's just too tall for that van, though. ]

Jyn, your turn to go.

[ jyn: what's a van?
also jyn: googles van ]

I've never... [ jyn realizes, again because this is not new information for her, that she has had a wildly abnormal life and she doesn't really know what normal people may or may not have experienced. never have i ever not gone to prison?

she flounders briefly. ]

Gone to school.

[ ah. well, that is something he is going to have to drink for as he'd attended russian schools before and after his family had fallen into disgrace. so, he takes a quick sip of the beer before shrugging. ]

You were not missing much.

[ school was boring and a waste of time. just got in the way. ]

[ he can't for the life of him figure out why he doesn't just get up and walk away, but he... continues to play along instead. ]

[ he takes half a sip for the closet thing, and avoids taking a drink for school. formal education??? haha don't know her. not when you join an anarchist cell when you are six! ]

[ he supposes by the natural order of things, it's his turn? ]

I have never... [ he stares at his beer, not sure what innocuous thing he can bring up. ] Stolen a house in a dream.

[ :D ]

[ though daisy takes two (yes, two!) sips from her beer, there's an air of begrudging agreement to it. as if she knows she's supposed to do it, but how dare they be this good at this game already!

as explanation: ] I dropped out.

[ to pursue ~~a modeling career~~ absolutely nothing. ]

And technically this is an apartment.

[ and, now, it is technically her turn. but she wants illya to go, thus her next statement. ]

I have never made up a fake job for a cover story.

[ jyn also drinks because she was a co-thief, but she snorts into it when daisy makes her claim and elbows cassian in the shin. ]

Ha, Cassian has to drink too.

[ does she know this is fact? no. but she knows. ]

[ he wrinkles his nose, because cassian knows this is aimed at illya, but he finds himself glad it's not take a drink for every fake job. ]

[ force he's had so many. ]

[ with a sigh, he takes a drink, nudging jyn in the back with his leg. hit for a hit. ]

[ mumbling: ] Too many fake jobs.

[ while he does not drink for cassian's question, daisy's causes him to pause before he wonders: ]

Is it a fake job if it is something someone actually hired me to do?

[ would that not make the job legitimate? he'd had a few people come to him for fashion advice so why was he drinking. ]

I think that makes it a real job.

Who hired you? Is there someone who desperately needs help matching their turtlenecks?

[ inquiring minds want to know. ]

It doesn't matter who. The fact is that someone did indeed employ my services and I provided them. The name doesn't matter. They were happy with my suggestions in the end.

[ so there. ]

And you should talk about clothing. Every article you own is brown.

[ snap. ]

[ jyn hauls up the hem of her TAN tee shirt and flashes illya her baby blue bra a la she's the man because fuck you. it matches her black and blue bruises so there, she wears loads of color. ]

Think again mate.

[ jyn has the excuse of being childish by being the youngest in the room. illya has no excuse. ]

I really did not need to see that.

[ HE IS SO SCANDALIZED NOW. ]

Congratulations on owning a color.

[ not that he was that much better. most of his wardrobe was black with a few scatterings of color throw in. ]

[ daisy rolls her eyes so hard it's a miracle they don't pop out of her skull. ]

Illya, drink. Helping someone find a dress for dinner is not the same thing, and you know it.

[ you dumb spy. ]

Also, it's your turn to say a thing.

[ don't tell him what to do! but also, fine. he takes a drink, huffing under his breath the entire time. ]

I have never...

[ he trails off, trying to think of something that would get everyone but him to have to take a drink.

or maybe just something that would mean daisy would drink. he loves you, honey. ]

I have never flashed anyone before.

[ jyn, you get to drink. daisy..............??? ]

[ daisy takes a drink and glares at illya the entire time. how dare you, sir. you're supposed to be on HER TEAM. ]

Don't be jealous you don't have the equipment to make flashing a reasonable distraction.

[ jyn drinks but with little care. boobs get shit done. ]

[ cassian can't see anything from where he's perched in his chair over her, but he briefly stiffens when she flashes illya (more for a dumb? assumption? she is going to flash him?), then eases back into an eyeroll because it is one hundred percent unsurprising. it gets her a win, of course she does it to illya. it's honestly more entertaining watching illya be so completely scandalized. ]

[ has he flashed someone?? no, not in his list of stupid things, so he does not take a drink. ]

[ don't worry cassian, illya has no designs on your girlfriend. he has his own girlfriend who's apparently flashed at least one person in her past. he hides his smile behind his bottle and shakes his head. ]

I didn't know flashing someone was part of your team's protocol.

[ that was to daisy and that was a joke. ]

I have other means of providing a distraction. Anyway, it is someone else's turn.

I never said I did it for work.

[ honestly, she did it for free drinks. maybe free dinner, too. it was a while ago, she can't remember what con she was running at the time. ]

I've never been to space, though.

[ YET. ]

That's not fair, it's not my fault your galaxy is stupid.

[ jyn drinks, because she knows daisy will make her but she doesn't think it is particularly fair! space was an interstate, daisy and illya's worlds, and this one to some extent, were just dumb! ]

It's not doing something special if it is how you get from place to place.

[ cassian knows what daisy means. ]

Technically we have never been to space in this galaxy.

[ but he is going to be difficult, even as he takes his own sip. ]

You've still been to space.

[ and illya has not so he does not take a drink. his beer is still mostly full. ]

Technically or not.

[ bottoms up and all. ]

I've never been born in a galaxy that was stuck on one planet.

[ jyn doesn't raise her glass to drink, but she does raise her as if to toast illya and daisy both. drink, you dickheads. ]

[ illya rolls his eyes at that one but drinks nonetheless. hey, they were going to go to the moon.

someday. but not to live there. who'd want to live on the moon anyway? ]

I think some billionaire is planning an expedition to Mars.

[ so she doesn't drink. try and make her, jyn. ]
