[prodigalbrat]

After a month here, watching you all, I have to say I'm surprised. A bunch of strangers from different worlds, and I mean strange— some of you, more than others— and yet you all manage to get along relatively well.  I can hardly say the same for some of the people  I know who share the same world.

[ that is, relative to the clusterfuck that is vampire society. ]

So what's the secret? Survival, practicality, boredom— because as neat as being on a spaceship is, we're still confined. A month has passed, the novelty's wearing away, and now it getting kind of dull.

Which brings me to my next question: What do you guys do for fun around here?

[ henry's brat. a hundred years, and he might as well be a teenager sometimes. ]

That's assuming I want to contribute.

If you don't want to contribute, I'd say you don't have much of a right to complain about being bored. If there are things to do and you just don't want to do them, that's on you.

I wasn't complaining. I was just trying to have a conversation, see what people are up to. [ a beat. ] You're taking this too seriously.

'I'm bored' kind of sucks as a conversation starter. You get out what you put in.

[prodigalbrat]

You think so? Honestly, you don't seem too good at them yourself.

[learnedtosmile]

I'm responding to what I was given.
