( it's difficult to read anything into nuala's expression; a stoic absence of inflection, steady and almost serene, like a fine statue of herself. her hands are folded in her lap. )

My brother did not return with us, this jump; I'm certain he regrets very much his inability to share in your celebrations, as do I.

( a measured breath. )

In his absence, I remain, if you choose, patroness to your family. However, I understand that this bond was one predicated on my brother's standing relationship-- if you wish to be released from this agreement, I will not begrudge it.

My brother is no longer with us. I'm not yet certain the extent of what this will mean, and your patience would mean much to me.

For those of you who are new -- or, ah, newer -- here... hi. [Awkward pause.] I'm Murphy, and I'm the guy who stocks your food.

After talkin' it over we've made the executive decision to tweak our system a little. After all, I'm only a one-man show, and stockin' kitchens in over thirty decks is gonna run me ragged.

So, from here on out you can get your grub on every fifth deck of the ship startin' from the bottom up. If you can't find what your lookin' for on the current deck you're on, try the next one up. I'll be puttin' up signs for posterity's sake.


[More pause. At first he considers hanging up, and then:]


Also, er... since I guess it's just that kinda month, there's gonna be a second wedding. Mine. And... Anne's.

Completely unplanned, honestly. But if you're not reelin' from the festivities of the last one, it'll be in the garden chapel tomorrow. Because hey, things could go to shit by then, they might not. I'm not tryin' to make light of our situation here, but I've been alive long enough in this place to not take anything for granted. Feel free to come or not.

That's all.


[ooc: Wasn't sure whether to make a log or not... It'll probably be a post-ceremony open log for both Murphy and Anne and anyone else since it's more or less going to be a small event. I'll set one up tomorrow. Edit: Aaand here is that log in question!]
