First sight [text]

[godseer]

No sooner do I finish one interstellar voyage than I find myself the unwitting participant of a second one.
I hope, for all our sakes, that its ending is not quite as explosive as my first.
I have my misgivings about this ship, but sudden and catastrophic destruction is not one of them.
That would be too easy.

To the part-time residents of the two universes I've intimately familiarized myself with, hello again.
To everyone else, greetings. My name is Rose Lalonde.
I look forward to the new acquaintanceships, brotherhoods, and nemeses of the coming days here. I get the feeling that we're going to need them.
I have no intention of blindly submitting to the whims of whomever is in charge here. I shall proudly wear citrus as my hue of choice when it suits me. Noir doesn't feel especially appropriate given recent events.

[barkstabbark]

[godseer]

Cute. Did John get to you, too? Doggone it.

OR CAN YOU...... ..

[barkstabbark]

ive always been this talented dollface

YES sob

[godseer]

Nope.
The correct answer would have referred to how bright I am.

[barkstabbark]

fuck
why didnt i think of that one

[godseer]

No idea. I'm baconing to think thoughts of meaty bones are going to your head.

1/3

[barkstabbark]

goddamnit
i didnt give that the

wait no
at least im not LIGHT headed

[barkstabbark]

like if i stabbed you or something
youd be light headed from the blood loss

[barkstabbark]

not that im gonna stab you

fuck forget it that doesnt work

[godseer]

Jack. Do you really want this entire ship on your back?

[ She's more amused than threatened, though. ]

[barkstabbark]

i didnt give that last pun the green light

[smooth recovery]

[godseer]

Nicely done.
But if you're hoping I'll let my guard down for a few jokes, you're sadly mistaken. I see right through you, Jack.
[ That one was maybe a little weak. ]

[barkstabbark]

not on my station

[...WOW that's actually a really low blow, even if she doesn't get it

fuck gotta back up a little here]

because
theres nothing to see through
yeah

MORE SURPRISE 2/2 dkfjgg

[barkstabbark]

not that you cant still see through shit

[godseer]

I don't follow.
I said my Sight doesn't hold outside of this and my own universe, and that still stands.
Care to fill me in?

[barkstabbark]

oh right

yeah thats what i meant

[godseer]

Very well. I don't know why I expected you to be helpful as regarding information.
I'll have to wait and see if anyone else from your universe boards on a subsequent jump.

[barkstabbark]

i just told you a ton of shit about the facility dumbass
be more specific with your stupid questions

yeah well
who fucking knows

[godseer]

Is that an indication of further helpfulness if I ask more questions? Are you so unlike my previous informant?

[barkstabbark]

does it look like ive got anything better to do
not like i havent explained this shit to people a million fucking times already

[godseer]

In that case, tell me why the facility exists.

[barkstabbark]

to make weapons
how else would it get so much goddamn funding
there was a bit of a mutiny recently so fuck if i know what its gonna be for now
the bitch in charge liked to spew bullshit about making us stronger
oh yeah sticking my arm in a meat grinder definitely made me feel stronger

[godseer]

I see. Its methods being torture and interuniversal importing? That seems rather unnecessarily complex.

[barkstabbark]

they find people who might be useful then they try to break them into obeying
maybe they sell the videos as some kind of shitty reality show on the side
dont ask me

actually that wouldnt surprise me at all

[godseer]

But for what culture of beings would these revealing tapes and instruments of militaristic attack was your presence necessary? What, in short, was the greater purpose of the facility, in the larger scheme of paradox space?
