[ sup, fellow space kidnapees. a considerably more relaxed jenna, here. ]

Okay: so here's a question that doesn't have anything to do with your spaceship related skills or why we shouldn't wander off by ourselves.

If we're all stuck here together-- the together part is key-- doesn't it make sense to get to know each other a little? I'm not saying we need nightly family dinner, but maybe one time so everyone can meet, exchange names, mingle, develop basic connections?

...And make a roster, maybe. Because asking if 'that really taciturn guy I met by the elevator' is okay doesn't have the same ring as a name. [ sup spock. ] And not to be looking at the negative already, but that way people without someone they already know here don't end up slipping through the cracks.

[ she spreads her hands wide and grins, teasingly. ]

So, are we in? Because if we all have to shower together, we should probably have dinner first.

Oh, and one more thing. [ jenna holds up an iPod, waving it a little. ] Can anyone in the science club tell me they can recharge this? I have an almost full battery, but that's not going to last forever. I can trade... I don't know, something for it. We can work it out.

[ filtered to alaric saltzman | private | hackable ]

So. How-- [ are we ] are you?

[ are we still dating? ] We should probably talk, right? Even if it's just me getting advice.

I know it's selfish, and I know it's the last thing you want to think about but I don't want to do this alone, Ric.

Considering our situation, I'd think big brother is the last thing we need to worry about. We're all in the same boat, figuratively and literally.

If I start calling this a space boat, I'll send the complaints to you.

Noted. I'll send dry letters of apology on an official letterhead and we can form a bureaucracy.

If we're going to be a real bureaucracy, we should charge them a fee to receive the letter.

Funny you should mention that, as there doesn't seem to be any currency on board.

That may put a small kink in our evil plans.

Goods and services instead of money would always work. Get a letter from our agency, pay us in free meals.

I like the way you think. And speaking of free meals, oh future bureaucratic overlord, how exactly are we meant to go about this? Pot luck?

I'm hoping? I can make enough spaghetti to feed an army, but something else would be nice, too. Lots of something elses.

My specialty is coffee. I'm afraid I can't promise much else with any guarantee of it being edible.

Sorry, I missed everything after you said 'coffee'.

Ah, the dulcet tones of the caffeine addict. I know them well.

God yes. I'm in the middle of the good stuff withdrawals.

I make only the best stuff, and that isn't a boast. I don't know how much I'll be able to make, but I'll have one with your name on it.

You're pretty literally my hero right now. Want my hypothetical first born?

I wouldn't know what to do with it, I'm awful with kids. If you have pizza or beer, then we'll have to talk.
