ya its uhhh a whole thing
TLDR 👮‍♂️😭💔💔🏴‍☠️👻🚢

ya kinda!! n ya i kno i kno thts wat they said abt mohonk 😔
but look
i asked friday 2 her face (LOL) n she said no it should b totes peaceful
n like LBR dude theres never gonna b ne gauranteed safe place ever
im in just as much danger back home as im here
i mean technicly more bc i cant get tetanus here
most we can do is try 2 use wat we get 4 our bennie yk???
otherwsie were all gonna b depressed n sad n well just waste away faster
between u n me i want off this fuckin ship before that so im not gonna give this place ne chance 2 take me

( there's moments where it literally strains her brain to read sharky's texts but, for the most part clarke gets the message. and has some thoughts but for the most part doesn't want him to...

doesn't want him to what? worry about her? know the depths of her crazy? have to deal with the fact she's always sad and one despresso shot away from overflowing a coffee cup? stop talking to her?

...all of the above? the error message reads: "i'm not psychoanalyzing myself right now", but clarke still sanitizes her commentary. )

Just because there's nothing planned or the Captain hasn't told Friday of any plans doesn't mean someone else couldn't fuck up and ruin it. Still unconvinced a carnival can be used to our benefit, too, but I guess... Do they have giftshops at carnivals? There could be something new there.

like 💯 that can ttly happen
not gonna argue it
but we need 2 keep lookin 4 a brite side
cos otherwise every1 gets demoralized n gives up n thats no good
so ok ya somethin bad mite happen BUT
cool shit will happen 2!!

like 4 example
there mite be a giftshop w carnival merch BUT ALSO
there r usually games @ carnivals were u win prizes like stuffed animals
sometimes scooters n cool shit like that but usually toys
or goldfish

OH n theres usually REALLY WIERD FOOD u ever seen an oreo?
they deepfry that n serve it with ice cream
TBH most carnie food is deep fried just the way god intended

( inner child at war with inner depressed rage beast over if she should be excited about stuffed animals or not. and here clarke'd been thinking maybe they'd have novelty multi-tools or something. )

That... doesn't sound healthy.

o no not healthy AT ALL
but yk wat it IS?
fuckin delicious
wait til u try a corndog man ur gonna lose it

( afraid to ask but going for it anyways: )

In a good way, right? What is a corndog?

ya in a good way 💯

so like ok have u ever seen a hot dog i think they got em at the buffet sometimes
🌭 like that rite

but then instead of a bun they jam a stick in it + dunk it in corn batter
uhhh cornmeal flour milk i think theres somthin else but IDR exactly
eitherw ay
they dunk it then fry it in oil n u get a golden stick of beef frank
sometimes instead of a hot dog theyll just use a block of pepperjack cheese
seriously so fuckin good OMFG i cant wait now

( unintentional foodie that she's become, clarke can't deny her interest is also piqued. just a lil' bit, an appropriate amount; that still sounds ridiculously unhealthy and not appetizing based on the initial description but — )

Okay, I'm cautiously trusting you on that one. If it's awful and we all survive the outing, you'll be hearing about it.

if nethin happens 2 make it terrible i will publicly appologize on air
like the first thing i do once i turn on the pa just
my bad clarke i was wrong the carnival was a lie

BUT
im not countin ppl gettin sick as a bad thin
thats just how carnivals r
u get sick on the rides or sick from the food u boot u rally

You've lost me there. Food poisoning sounds like the antithesis of fun, just like murder on a pleasure cruise should be an oxymoron.

( ... )

You can use the P.A system?

yea but @ a carnival the worst thin that can happen 2 u is food poisonin
worst thing that can happen on a cruise is murder
🤢⚖️🔪

o yea!!!! i asked friday if i could play some music n stuff n she said sure!
i gotta do it @ her desk but thats ok shes p cool
also makes it easier 4 ppl 2 give requests

I think a roller coaster breaking down mid-ride would be worse than food poisoning.

( give her two minutes, then: ) 🎢☠️

Friday sure is something. If you're taking requests, can I be first? The Road by C2C

( it's actually "down the road", but 100 year old burnt cd's aren't complete without half the sharpie discography being rubbed off by the oil of human fingerprints. )

theres a whole movie abt how thats a bad time ya ill give u that

[it's literally just the opening of one of the Final Destination movies, but apparently that's all he's ever seen of it?]

she is
its rly cool thats shes just like there all the time if u need help
plus shes rly nice usually custmer survice like that makes ppl like 😒

hell ya im takin requests im gonna have a box 4 em everywhere i go from now on
i got a bunch of cds i gotta go thru them n see if i got that 1 if i dont ill ask friday 2 like
look for the album IG???? is that how it works
or do i just wish real hard on my own
i never know

( clarke just over here, just chloe side-eyeing about the fact gal friday has personally given her two existential crises and everyone else thinks she's the bees knees. BUT. IT'S FINE, WHATEVER. )

You mean those gift wrapped packages we get? I think it's got to be random at best, and then Friday just does her best to divvy them up. I wonder what she does with anything that comes through that she can't match with a person, actually. Maybe there's just a room of discarded items somewhere. But don't worry about it if you don't have it. Just play your favorite song and pretend that's what I requested.

[hey Clarke, maybe you shouldn't only go to Friday when you want to force her to answer questions that she doesn't want to answer!]

OMFG
i wonder if theres a lost n found somewhere nbodys found yet???
LMFAO get it a LOST and found
but fr theres probbs lots of stuff that washes up that she chucks right
or is it like really limited
IDK i str8 up avoid thinkin abt it
better 4 my mentl health

awww ill do that
dedicate some baller hits 4 u
i got so many songs i kno ur gonna love
n then ill keep lookin 4 c2c im like
soooo sure i kno wich song ur talkin abt
its just been a hot min since i got a look @ the billboard top 100

( how else do you find the hard answers without asking the hard questions??? )

There are only a few spaces we're not allowed into on this ship, though. Unless there's a hidden door at the back of the Tommy Bahama, I can't imagine we would have missed it. It would have been cool. But don't stress yourself out about it, Sharky.

( quietly mouths to herself "billboard top 100", then just accepts it as an old world thing. a concept that goes down way easier than deep fried oreos. )

I look forward to hearing what you got. Anything would be an improvement from when the Captain used to just wail into the microphone.

no just a restaurant
but like it could b a labrynth situatin
like w david bowie

fuck u have NO IDEA who that is ugh this is ridiculous
👨‍🎤 thats based off him ANYWAY
theres a labrynth rite duh but the girls walkin 4 miles n she doesnt find a single opening
just like miles of 🧱🧱🧱🧱 rite
so then she sees a catepillar and is like yo wats up w this maze its not rly good yk???
n 🐛 is like
yo girl u just need 2 look harder

n then all of a sudden she steps 2 one side n there sjust like 🧱🧱 a gap 🧱🧱
but bc of optics n shit ud never see it unless u look 4 it rite
so wat im sayin is mb theres a wall smwehre thats not a wall LOL

( ... )

That sounds like a weird Alice In Wonderland synopsis but, okay. I was bored, and now I'm going to spend the next week walking around staring at the walls.

OH!!! YEAH!!!
its like that except instead of 👑❤️ its david bowie in a skin tite leotard n glam rock makeup

if u find a secret passage that way u gotta txt me ASAP
1 bc holy shit cool
2 bc ur gonna want someone 2 spot u so u dont wind up yk lost in a goblin maze

( does she... want to know... more about a skin tight leotard and glam rock makeup? survey says: ...nah, not really. )

Huh. Interesting? And that's super sweet, Sharky but. Much like carnival rides, I wouldn't trust any secret passage ways around here to be safe. I wouldn't want you to get hurt too.

clarke im literally a 55 y/o man who survived a nuclear apocalypse + bunch of magic bullshit + possession
i kno it probs doesnt look like it but i can take care of myself yk
i got a shotgun n everything

Don't forget to add "can chug pure rubbing alcohol" to that list, too.

( this is a vote of confidence. not for the "hints of apple flavoring" in that jug from his birthday, though; those were nonexistent.

but it is a bit tepid. natsuno yuuki is a virtually unkillable vampire powerhouse who can regenerate and hypnotize people, and she'd still managed to almost get him killed on her last reckless venture. )

I know. I just A shotgun probably wouldn't have stopped that Lord Vile fiasco. Why take chances?

in that case y should i let U take any chances???

[turnabout's fair play, girl!!! she is just as easily killed as he is, after all -- technically, she's even been killed more than him, but he feels like that'd be a dick move to bring up.]

( the honest answer is he still seems to have a thick tether of hope, while all clarke's got is a doomed disregard for her own life.

the easier response is more of a stubborn teenager classic. )

Let me?

yeah LET YOU!!!
im gonna have a hand on the pa systme soon u kno
ill put out n APB
blond chick in need of a party to distract her from touchin the walls!!!

[he knows your type, Clarke. your grimdark energy is only somewhat hiding the deeply traumatized survivor mentality that comes with guilt and a lack of self-esteem masquerading as raw determination. it's sort of the same thing he picked up from the twins after the fact. the same thing he saw in Carmina right before she decided she needed to be the one to risk her life looking for help outside of the county.

damn. teenage girls really do be getting into moods, huh?]
