Kind of had an idea. [ Have Peter trying to keep from looking apprehensive. ] Don't know if it'd work, or if anybody'd even find it helpful.

But with everything that's been happening lately? This ship's too big to have people getting lost in it as often as they do. Ending up who knows where for more than just a few days at a time. Dangerous enough as it is on any given day, but with something on the ship leaving threatening messages lying around? Seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

[ he sighs. ] At some hospitals, they paint the floors -- stripes down the middle with hints to where you're going. Guess it'd work on the walls too, doesn't really matter. But it's a trail that's easy to follow. Tells you how to get where you need to go so that people don't end up on the wrong floor in a storage closet wondering how to get back to the information desk. [ Not that that's ever happened to him, no, of course not. But Peter shrugs, like it's the best helpful idea he's got, even if he doesn't know if it'd work. ]

Doubt the captain would want us painting the floors, but if he's not around to stop us, I don't know what the problem would be. Unless the ship likes to move hallways around without anyone noticing.

[Ignoring that first bit, he'd rather avoid that train of thought.]

Kinda. When it's not tryin' to fuck us over.



Why?

[askedtobe]

Just curious. [ he shrugs ] Because you found your way back.

[handelaar]

I didn't get lost. Just - watched.

[askedtobe]

Watched? [ head tilt. ]

[handelaar]

When the hallways were screwed up, I mean. Didn't go out in it, so I didn't get lost.

[Netherlands is really good with directions, he doesn't realize that some people have gotten lost on normal, non-hallway-changing days. ...he's also really bad at conversation.]

[askedtobe]

[ Hey, it's all good, Peter's good at putting up with people who are socially inept... or at the very least, don't know how to talk. ]

Have you ever gotten lost around here?

[handelaar]

No...

[The vowel is dragged out, there, a "why?" implied in the tone.]

[askedtobe]

[ There's a shrug implied in his. Just curiosity. ]

Got it.

[handelaar]

That's all.
