"Um. Hey."

[Judging right away from the tone and lack of Russian inflection this time, the one known as Safronov has checked out, and Rey is Rey again.]

"So it looks like at some point when being... unwell, the upper floor at the Speakeasy lost its Casino manager, Firo. He helped to organize the whole thing with me when Delight's bar went out of commission, so... Would rather not have to keep handling the place solo. If anyone would like to help there in any way, it'd be appreciated."

[She'll leave the convenient signup at the Speakeasy/Casino available for those who wish to help.]

"And, um. Sorry for those who had to deal with one of my... other selves." [Yeah, she remembers. Some of it, anyway. She has complicated feelings towards Safronov.]

Both. Definitely both. Though, I'm lucky. I don't get hungover easy.

Same. Though it takes a lot just to get a buzz going, which is a pain.

[Just one of the few downsides to having a superhuman metabolic rate.]

After everything, I'd say that you're due for at least a nice buzz.

[Laura doesn't have a superhuman metabolic rate, she's just so used to drinking that she's developed something of a resistance]

Well. Until I'm at my top to work on making new liquor again, think the "special tea" someone gave me will do for now.

[Because enchanted magical pot tea. Yes.]

"Special tea?" That sounds interesting.

[that would be new to her. she's had pot brownies of course, but never pot tea]

It helps with these damn headaches. And other things.

[Like a bad mood.]

Does aspirin not work for you? That would stink if it didn't.

[yes, pot has a way of turning a frown upside down]

Need something a lot stronger than that. Guess these aren't normal headaches.

[No kidding.]

Oh, man. Does the Clinic even have anything stronger? Or is this some kind of--reaction to what you went through?

Wouldn't know about the clinic; barely step foot in that place. This stuff was given by a-- [hmm, hrrrnnn] --friend. [Sort of.]

Well, they say that's what friends are for.

That and hiding the bodies or something.

[Except she probably shouldn't ask Carlisle for something like that. Special tea or no.]

[she laughs and grins, although the grin can't be heard]

Definitely hiding the bodies. And scoring you the good drugs.

Don't need anything too crazy, at least. Doubt that a psychedelic trip would end well.

[It's bad enough how much she can change when she's just drunk.]

I've done acid once. It was fun, but nowhere near as wild as they say it is.

[Laura used to do cocaine regularly just to get through the day back home. she's had to learn how to cope without it and it hasn't been easy]

Have heard of new stuff that's even stronger than acid and the like. Stayed away from that shit though. People get really hooked fast.

[Drugs from the future sure are something.]

Seriously? Damn. Yeah, that sounds like bad news. You get hooked on something like that, not only are you stuck chasing an even bigger high but you're way too dependent on the source. No thanks.

[and she's being honest. she never liked being addicted to cocaine, but she couldn't deal with her many problems on her own]

Some of them don't even have much of a cooldown period. But hey, if people want to glow or start seeing pretty colors, that's their choice.

[Rey's not a big fan of any of that shit, herself.]

Yeah, I guess. [she sounds dubious] I guess the future's a pretty wild place.

[if even Laura Palmer thinks that drugs sound like too much, that's when you know that they're some intense drugs]

Well, it's shitty enough that it's no wonder why people look for one escape or another.

Shitty? So no happy future? At least not where you're from?

[Snort.]

Is that really so surprising?

[Look at most of the people here. At least hers isn't completely blown up to a nuclear wasteland, like Nick's.]

[she shrugs, although it can't be seen]

I guess not. But part of me was hoping that in the future, we wouldn't fuck things up like we had in the present.

[for her, the present being 1989]

If it's any consolation, my future is not guaranteed to be the same as yours. Most people here probably wouldn't understand half of the history I'm talking about over the last three hundred years.

[Sucks for Rey, though.]

[she chuckles]

I know I wouldn't. Hell, I barely understand the history of the past twenty-five years after 1989. All I really get is that phones like these are common and everybody has computers.

[it does indeed suck for Rey]
