because it was our first day in hell and i didn't trust no one or no thing. no matter whatI might need
( and hey, look how well that worked out to potentially slake some nostalgia longing? you know you want it, rita, it's even got your original pocket lint stuck to the coating! )
if you have it to me now id eat it. But also I don't neeeeed it, I feel amazing righte now
[That's so stupid... Yet there's also little point in lingering on it now. Well...maybe she'll just have to remind Clarke it's there once she's sobered up or...gotten rid of whatever this is.
Speaking of which...]
So what has you feeling so amazing anyway? Besides the bread
[Okay so maybe "brownie" is something Terca Lumireis doesn't have, because at first Rita isn't even sure that Clarke's talking about a food.
Anyway, not being any kind of culinary snob, Rita would...probably consider cake fancy bread if she felt like it? This is still a sudden odd tangent to run on, but Clarke's also just clearly really focused on food.]
First you have to explain what a brownie is. And how a weed relates to it.
okay, Okay, don't panic. it's basickally a real dense, smooshed chocolate cake. but better? but weird when there's weed in it, still good though. and weed's a drug I guess, but it's a n i c e one. my bodys all tingly and light, all i wanna do is eat and tell my friends I love them
and i'm not sad right now. about everything that sucked so much about last month.
uou shouldn't do weed because youre like. 12, though.
( worse being a very subjective term because like, the last three have all royally sucked. seventeen in a prison cell counting down the days until her inevitable execution, eighteen alone in the woods with the weight of a genocide on her consciousness. and now nineteen, here, on this shit hole boat with most all her friends hating her... )
Birthdays kinda suck. Which double sucks because they're not supposed to.its almost Jade's birthday now
[...You know, the fact she can't tell whether or not Clarke is bluffing just to brush it off...is kind of sad in its own way, because from the snippets she's heard about the other girl's life, it wouldn't be surprising. And that's also pretty sad. She has no idea what to even say to it so, uh. Jade's birthday, then--wait, what?!]
boring shit and cryptic stuff. he writes a looooot
( but Clarke, so do you. and none of your notes are nearly as organized or factually written like a proper military report. so, suddenly and decidedly: )
[Yeah, that sounds about right for Jade. For Clarke, though, there's a logical thread linking those messages but that doesn't reach Rita, so she just. Puzzles at respec, trying to figure out if it's a typo or what.
ooooh so like mint chocolate chip? I think Pratt mentioned somethng about toothpaste, i'll ask him again.
( she won't, she's very likely to forget. and is honestly starting to get distracted from this conversation as the edible hits hard and her body is slowly getting sucked into an entirely different plane of consciousness.
...horny, the horny plane of consciousness, and clarke can think of someone else she'd rather be texting rn but first — )
no subject
yeah, I remember. never took it bekause i didn't trust it, it's still in my desk.
do you want it back? since you miss them
no subject
[....Does she want it back? Honestly a little tempted...as she thinks about gels and how squishy and juicy and sweet they are and--
She doesn't answer that question but she sure has it on her mind now!]

is a brownie conshidered bread? is cake just fancy bread?
( it's philosophy hour and this is apparently the other side of the coin from soul colors. )

Wait
wait]
12??
seriosyly?
are you blind??
Try 16!
no subject
eh
that sounds like whata 12 yearold would say. its fine though rita, Im not a cop, it's okay you got wasted off your rocker the one time
no subject
Not that it stops Rita from texting back immediately. Clarke guessing a slightly-wrong age wouldn't bother her--if it wasn't so young!]
its' NOT fine!
I literally turned 16 a few months ago
How the hell do you get 12?!
no subject
no subject
Not THAT much
12 year olds are way shorter anyway??
[UGH Karol was the 12-year-old and way shorter than her, yet always had the nerve to comment on her size for some reason?!]
no subject
okaaaay, Okay, fine. But if you're really 16 maybe you should
i dunno. put that on a sign somewhere.
no subject
whatever, we're not even from the same worlds so that standard shouldnt apply anyway
I don't need to wear a sign for something obvious from the start! try paying more attention
[HUFF HUFF HUFF how did it come to this]
and just how old are you??
no subject
( oh but moving on pretty completely, because clarke's kept this close to her chest and now that blockade isn't there anymore: )
oooh I turned 19 the night before the party!
no subject
[NOT RITA OBVIOUSLY... But...oh, Rita feels a weird pang of...empathy??
...]
Oh. Sorry you didn't have a better birthday.

It is? How do you know?

JADE has a diary??
What else was in it?
no subject
( but Clarke, so do you. and none of your notes are nearly as organized or factually written like a proper military report. so, suddenly and decidedly: )
respec
no subject
She doesn't figure it out.]
Is that so
When's his birthday? We should surprise him
no subject
we'll need a cake
oh my god
oh my GOD rits
we need an ICE CREAM CAKE
we NEED it
please, ask friday, beg her neg her whatever
no subject
Even if she could make it I bet it would turn out weird
And you know that Jade probably only likes boring flavours
[Thinking back, he'd said something about mint candies, way back at the camp-]
He's into toothpaste flavour, after all
I'll figure something out
[Because Rita is definitely the person you want taking charge of food-related things...of course...]
