[ irene's wearing her tweed suit, buttons opened at the collar, waistcoat undone. there's a large golden lab sitting beside her, glorying in the way irene's scratching behind his ears. ]
It seems Baron Vladimir Harkonnen has left us. A true shame. He may have been the only man aboard this ship who properly appreciated the opera, and it's always lovely, finding someone with whom one shares a common interest.
[ there's a pause. the dog's mouth opens, tongue lolling out. irene smiles at that, before addressing the device again. ]
I've been here a year, with this passing jump. More than I thought I would, when I last onsidered the matter. I'd had several suggestions as to what to do to celebrate, if celebrate is the word I should use. None of them are quite to my taste, though I'm not sure such a dubious milestone should go unappreciated.
[ she gives a quiet little hum of thought, then raises her shoulder in an uncharacteristic shrug. ]
But I digress. Tell me, is the owner of this fine animal aboard anywhere? I found him in my doorway, but I doubt he's the ship's way of congratulating me on my stay. Majestic though he is, I'd say the menagerie this ship's acquiring really doesn't need any new additions roaming loose.

I've always been a fan of the Italian-language operas; if you are ever in Luna, you should go see their production of Lucia de Lammermoor while it's still running. I found it incredibly moving.
[ In the heat of the moment, he's completely forgotten of course that people here are from different times and places. Whoops. ]

[ oh albert, you're lucky you're referencing things inside her timeline. ]
What excellent taste. I have seen it, and found it just so as well. Do you sing yourself, or are you simply a patron?
no subject
And no, unfortunately just a patron. I love music dearly, but I have been informed on numerous occasions by my incredibly musically gifted fia-- friend [ quick recovery there Albert ] that there are dying cats who can sing better than I.

Haha. My parents tried me out on several instruments as a child, but it galls me to say I was equally hopeless at all of them. Some of us are just not meant to be musical, I suppose.

But are you talented with these little mechanical things?

I've never had the chance to examine the engineering of a space ship before! Do you think they'd have me?!
