So, uh-- when I first got here, Dr. Cambridge put an implant in me, so I wouldn't have to deal with periods and stuff. But it was a birth control thing too, so that means if I'm having sex I don't have to bother with condoms or nothing, right?

[Little-known fact: the deck kind of freaks Tiffany out. Out there, space is right in your face, and there's so much of it-- it's impossibly big, and it makes her feel impossibly small. She's never even seen the ocean from the deck of a ship; seeing the entire universe from one is infinitely more overwhelming.
But it's also nice and peaceful, in a way-- not to mention beautiful. So sometimes when she's feeling particularly brave (and right now, post-port, she definitely is) she goes out onto the main deck. She almost always stays away from the railing, opting instead to stick as close to the side of the ship as possible. Sometimes she walks, but it makes her feel a little dizzy. Mostly, she can be found sitting down-- not on a bench, but on the floor, her back pressed against the solid, reassuring Barge wall.
It doesn't matter where she sits. Either way, she can still see the stars.]

This is the kind of message you aren't supposed to respond to and in fact you should delete it off your phone once you have read it and pretend you realized it all on your own. I know guys don't pick up signals sometimes but if I'm real honest girls are the same way even though we're supposed to be better at this stuff so don't feel bad. So in case you didn't already know the signal coming from me is this, I like how things are and will not be unhappy at all if nothing changes but if you asked me out on a date someday I would say yes.
[Look at her, using spellcheck! It doesn't help with punctuation issues, but still.]

I've been in prison; I wasn't picking up STDs in there, okay.
no subject
Look, honey, I'm not saying you do or don't have an STD. My point is you don't know about him and he doesn't know about you. The only way to be safe is to get tested or put a wrapper on it.

no subject
The bottom line is, are you really willing to risk your life, or his, just to avoid a little awkwardness?
no subject
But.
I think you might be being a little overdramatic right now, if you don't mind me saying.
no subject
and in this case, she's actually not.]
I wish it was just excessive drama but I've seen it happen. Sure, diseases like chlamydia can be cured, but herpes? AIDS? There's no cure for them.
no subject
But he ain't even really alive, so I don't know if that affects anything.
no subject
...not really alive? And you had a problem with Alexander occasionally enjoying the company of the not alive?
no subject
no subject
Honestly, I don't know if that makes him immune or anything but unless you know for certain, better safe than sorry.
no subject
no subject
Doesn't change my point though. If anything, it means being extra careful since we don't really know what kinds of diseases these other people may or may not have.
no subject
[She's still a little uncomfortable about that. Hell, Mason's whole schtick as an undead reaper makes her feel uncomfortable when she thinks about it too much. She's still struggling with the idea that there isn't a strict "live, then die, then go to heaven or hell" progression here.]
But I mean he was dead before here, way before the other inmates. ... I think he used to do hard drugs and stuff, though.
no subject
Who are we talking about anyway?
no subject
[Back in Litchfield, if a guard asked a question, you answered it. If you didn't, you'd get written up for insubordination. Tiffany has very much internalized that, and any defiance on her part has so far been restricted to sneaking around and leaving things out rather than outright lying or refusing to do things-- but lately, she's been getting a little bolder.]
... What if I don't want to say?

[Strangely, the fact that she doesn't insist on it makes her more amenable to the idea of telling. She figures that if Venus wanted to track him down for a lecture, she'd be trying harder to pry the name out of him.]
His name's Mason.
[And together, they are the Bad Life Choices Brigade, the scourge of reasonable people everywhere.]
I don't know if you know him at all.
no subject
He has a bit of a problem with alcohol as I recall, which means you really do need to be the responsible person about these matters.
[And now her brain is broken because she just nominated Tiffany as the responsible one.]
no subject
[And this is where she looks guilty, because the first time she met him, he recruited her to steal alcohol for him.]
I can be responsible.
no subject
I'm sure you can. The question is will you?
no subject
[Probably; maybe.]
