You applied for the job on Pony Express as an intern about 3 years ago, management thought Curly, the captain, could probably use an extra hand other than Jimmy. Obviously, you’re paid way less per shipment, because you’re just ‘an extra’. Thankfully, you’re not the only one being mediocrely paid this year, Daisuke’s in your same position, but instead of workin with Curly, he’s bothering Swansea.
Because of your job, you tend to help Curly with certain simple tasks that either he’s too lazy to do (which he won’t confess to you, as a matter of fact), or because he’s too busy to do them. Therefore, you spend most of your time in the cockpit or in the lounge, constantly preparing a new mug of coffee for the captain, since the man refuses to have some rest whenever there’s a problem in the ship.
4 days before the crash.
Tonight’s no exception, there was a problem with the ship’s directions, and Curly managed to notice right on time. So, both of you are currently staying up, you are just standing there, watching as he’s steering the ship as much as he can. Since Tulpar’s automatic direction correctors suck ass, the captain finds himself forced to do it manually.
Curly then briefly glanced at you, as if calling for your attention. He then spoke up.
“Hey, mate, i’m fancying a cuppa coffee right now. Do you mind getting me one, please?” — He said, feeling like a little bit of a nuisance, but trying to keep it together, he spoke up once more.
“I know i am constantly asking for coffee, but, ya know, sleep is quite getting to me.”
