Chapter 11 - Feed Back

Kate- groaning "Ugh, head's killin' me..."

Cere- Good morning, Kate. It appears you may be experiencing a hangover.

Kate- "No shit... Ugh, where the hell..?"

Cere- You are in Alana's room.

Kate- "Clothes? And how the fuck... up here?"

Cere- I am unable to provide those pieces of information.

Kate- Ain't this day starting just perfectly? Fucking Hell! Tripping...!

*Boom*

"OUCH!"

Cere- Well, on the plus column you just found your underwear. You got lucky that gravity on the Moon so low. How you just managed to catapult yourself face-first like that is so statistically improbable I might have to ask you to repeat it, you know, for science.

Kate- Yeah yeah, ah ah, laugh it up you tin can.

Cere- You are mixing up your metaphors, in this situation you're the can that's full of tin.

Kate- I should be able to find pliers downstairs to extract you somehow... Damn, smells... like old times. Queen's breakfast I think. Been ages.

Queen Victoria- "Well, well, look who's finally awake! You're lucky, dear, I just finished making breakfast."

Kate- "Been a long time second mom. I wasn't expecting to see you still doing breakfast, was sure you'd get the help to do that by now."

Queen Victoria- "Oh, you know me, always helping out where I can. Now, sit down and let me serve you a proper meal. You must be famished!"

Kate- Fuck, that's good... taste's almost... foreign I guess it is, I was someone else, back then. Somehow it feels more like a VR I loaded than my own memories...

Queen- "Sorry I haven't made anything special for you today, Cherry didn't warn me."

Kate- "Well, you were always out like a light past seven. I came in later."

Alana- "OOOOH! Look who's up folks! The life of yesterday's party! Ain't you a bit ashamed?"

Kate- "Wait, what?"

Alana- "Well, ya see sis, last night you... ah, that's too horrible to remember!" *smirks*

Kate- "Stop gloating and spit!"

Alana-"Hum, OK, first you basically drank and snorted the reserves dry... then you started to try to find yourself a good time with someone... anyone really."

Kate- "Fuck... sucks but ain't that ba...."

Alana- "then when nobody took up your offer you got a bit excited and started to dance naked on the bar while sobbing uncontrollably about nobody loving ya."

Kate-"..."

Fuck!

Cere- Indeed, might I remind you of Dr. Watson's services?

Alana- " Then you tried kissing Cherry and me and offered REALY affordable services..."

Kate- Wait a minute... "You're pulling my leg ain't you?"

Alana- *fake innocent sounding* "Me? Whatever gave you that silly notion?"

Kate- "You sadistic little trollop! Take that!"

Alana- "Muhahahaha, you've asked for it!"

Queen Victoria- "Girls! Girls! PEACE! I don't want the compandroids to have to clean this up, they have to get ready for today. They don't have the time to clean up teenage-level pranks.

Kate- "Fine, fine... truce. For now."

Alana- "Truce. Just couldn't resist pulling your leg a bit."

Queen Victoria- "Now that's settled, finish up before it gets cold. Ah! Cherry, you want something?"

Cherry- "I'll eat later... Kate, tourterelle, mind joining me for a second honey? I wanna chat with you about something."

Kate- "Sure, gimme a minute."

Cherry- "No hurry."

Kate- "That was good. Thanks, Queen."

Queen Victoria- "You're welcome, dear. Come back for some anytime."
