[ What with two face-twins floating around somewhere, Tommy's face may seem familiar to you (though the accent isn't). But then again, it might be hard to tell given that Tommy looks exhausted and on edge, like he hasn't really slept since he arrived. (He hasn't; dealing with being in space and dealing with the fact that his shoulder somehow healed up in a matter of hours when it should've taken days has been a lot to deal with.)

He also looks uncomfortable. Hunched in his hoodie which he's pulled on over his jumpsuit, he doesn't look directly at the camera but at a point slightly below it. ]

So where's the gym?

[ He glance up at the camera for a moment but, yup, that's all he's going to say. ]

HI TOMMY HI.

DODGEBALL?

[grndnpnd]

[ Tommy's expression seems to say, "Do I look like I'm in a weight class that plays dodgeball?" ]

Is that a suggestion or a question?

[addictive]

[ Ooooh, what's a weight class, Tommy? ]

BOOOOOOTH?

QUESTION TO A SUGGESTION!
SUGGESTION TO A QUESTION!
PICK! IDC!
JUST SAY YES.

[ Sorry, Mouse. Tommy does not know the meaning of the word yes. ]

I was hoping for something I could actually work out in. With weights and stuff? [ He presses his lips together. ] Isn't that kinda standard on spaceships?

[text] if troll text is a no-go please let me know

[lovesfaygo]

WhAt's a gYm?

video; totally fine by me!

[grndnpnd]

[ Tommy is obviously surprised that this appears to be a difficult concept. He thought it was a simple question, guys. ]

A place with equipment for working out. [ And just in case that's also not clear: ] You know, exercise?

[ Sorry, Tommy. Mouse does know the meaning of the word harassment. ]

DUNNO.
FROM VEGAS, NOT SPACE.

BUT!
COULD TOTALLY PLAY ON THE FLIGHT DECK.
LOTS OF ROOM + EVERYTHING.

DON'T HAVE A DODGEBALL THO.
FUCK.

[ It's a good thing you're small and otherwise harmless (as far as Tommy knows, at least). ]

You usually need more than two people too.

[ Luckily for Mouse, though, he's made of that superbouncy stuff those little balls you buy out of vending machines are made of. ]

TAG!
COULD PLAY TAG.

TOTALLY NON-CONTACT TAG.
YUP.

[zoosmell]

hmmm...
i'm not really sure!
but there's a bunch of rooms and stuff in here?
i have already gotten lost five times in one day and it was not very fun.
but if they have a gym, i hope they have a totally cool gaming room for AWESOME GAMES and possibly MEDIOCRE SNACKS.

[ Awesome games Tommy can kind of wrap his head around being excited about, but: ]

Why d'you want mediocre snacks, man?

video;

[grndnpnd]

[ Tommy can sort of admire the persistence this requires, even if it makes him feel kinda like a jerk, babysitter, or jerk-babysitter. ]

How you gonna play tag without contact? There's no "tag" then.

No weight room discovered yet that I know of. But we could probably get people to set up something makeshift... [ pondering, pondering. ] You're new, right? I'm Jenna.

( video )

[grndnpnd]

Swimming pools but no gym, huh? [ He's kinda honestly surprised, actually. ] Tommy. I just got in a few days ago. With the rest of the crowd.

[zoosmell]

it's part of the experience!
if you have great snacks, all you'd remember are the snacks.
but if you have mediocre snacks, then it's part of the charm.
we're in space anyway so i'm not really sure how the food tastes yet...

[grndnpnd]

[ Okay, that makes sense. Sort of. In a way. Almost. ]

It's not bad so far. [ He doesn't specify, but he means the food. ] I mean, it's not ration that taste like salt and cardboard, so it could be worse. Isn't that the definition of mediocre?

[zoosmell]

heh, i don't really know any definitions...
except the definition for SUPER COOL, because he has two thumbs and nothing to lose!
but i'm glad i won't have to go hungry!
and we can have totally awesome snacks for our awesome sleepover.

[grndnpnd]

[ Tommy's eyes narrow as he reads because it takes him a second to... make sure he followed that... And even after he rereads it, he's not sure he actually did. Oh, well! ]

I thought you wanted them for your game room?

text;

[addictive]

[ Listen, Tommy. Mouse has had jerk-babysitters. You're not one of them. ]

NO WAY.
STILL TAG!

LIKE FLAG FOOTBALL.
ONLY TAG.
FLAG TAG!

DUH.

[zoosmell]

if they had a game room, then i wanted them to have mediocre snacks!
but i'm not sure if they have a game room here?
i'm not really sure if they have anything good here at all.

voice;

[grndnpnd]

[ Someone needs to sit all you kids down and explain that life sucks and you never get to play tag or go to the awesome game room, but Tommy would really like it to not have to be him. ]

You got flags?

[grndnpnd]

Doesn't sound like it. [ There doesn't even seem to be a gym. Geez. ] They've got a lotta space here filled with not much. I guess somebody stiffed their contractor.

[zoosmell]

they have a garden!
it's nice and stuff i guess.
i would have preferred my games or japanese mangas?
but it's ok.
as someone who also works out FULL TIME, i commiserate with your pain!

IF I MAKE SOME.
