"Yeah, he really can't tell the difference. I haven't decided yet if it's by choice or just Fate." Her eyes widened when Kreska broke into laughter, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know what her handler had sent over the wire. Because it had to have been Fate who'd sent it. "Oh, geez. You can push him away all you want; he's never letting you off the hook," she added with a rueful grin.
Averting her eyes as her companion continued to change her clothing status--and finding herself jealous that was an option at all--Sascha studied the strange flora around the room. Her modus operandi lay in tech, not nature, and while Kreska looked to be getting more and more comfy Sascha's muscles refused to uncoil. Worse, the sting from her flop to the ground may have left, but the itch between her shoulders that said the corporations were coming refused to quell. She was so used to watching her back--and feeling utterly blind in doing so--by now it was almost a nervous tick that she swiveled frequent looks toward the wall with the door.
"Neither," she said absently. "At least, not this time."
No, this time Fate had taken on morality in the extreme. It had been the right thing to do, saving countless lives, preventing a faceless entity from getting their hands on tech that could destroy worlds. In a way, it had felt like getting back at the people who'd taken her and tried to rip her soul to shreds--despite the fact Perseid hadn't been involved.
But it most assuredly hadn't been "fun" to run for her life from mutated science experiments and corporate puppets and bounty hunters who literally wanted to mount her head on their dashboard and at no point had she gotten what might even possibly have been misconstrued as a paycheck.
Maybe he'll come through on the liquor.
As far as consolation prizes went, if he sent enough of it, and if she consumed enough of it, she wouldn't give a drek about anything for daaaays.
"Sometimes he sends over assignments that stick it to some immoral bastard--sometimes he sends over gigs that'll pay just enough to replenish my stash packs, keep his tech running, the lights on, rent & hotel room fees covered." She sighed. "Now that you mention it though, might be time to take a break and just do some fluffy coding for a while. I could use some fun. Less...ah. Exercise."
She snickered at the idea of girding a dress around her thighs. "And then I'd get stuck in a ventilation shaft somewhere."
>>And suffocate in all that floof!
>>I'd been devastated.
>>So don't worry, princess. No fancy dresses.
Sascha rolled her eyes, then finally tapped back:
>>Have you apologized for whatever you did yet?
>>Oh yes. All is forgiven.
>>:3 fixes everything.
>>You're neurotic.
>>I'm adorable.
Fighting a tiny smile even as she tried not to worry about what trouble he might be up to when his responses fired back so short, Sascha moved her fingers over the closest plant, a starchy fern with ragged edges. For some reason, facing a green lady and pondering eating equally green leaves made her question topics of cannibalism.

Over on Kreska's datapad, Fate had done the exact opposite of "nothing". He'd continued with a slew of apologies, each one more grandiose and possibly more offensive than the last.
...
>>And if you forgive me,
>>I'll do up a virus to delete all this sexy evidence.
>>You know, the vids where you're SO much more
>>bendy than the strippers.
