[ Cibo had been relatively absent from communications since the jump. And now her voice calmly presents itself onto the network like no big thang. ]

I'm not used to losing someone and feeling so...

[ Searching for Scout became her main focus before she couldn't safely go much further into the ship. If Scout were even still on the ship; She's definitely been around long enough to realize that sometimes passengers disappear during the jumps. She's not ready to think about it that way just yet.

Actually, she'd rather just not think about it at all. ]

Does anyone know of anything that might help take the mind off of it for a while? I'm up for anything at this point.

Having a prolonged rousing chinwag with an individual could take your mind off of any troubling thoughts.
Or if you like movies the recreation room has a slew of them but theyre all from different planets.

I happen to have some classic earth movies however.
Are you going to be quite alright?

A prolonged... what? I don't understand.

And I do like movies. I'd be interested to know which 'classic earth' ones you have!

I have dealt with similar loss before, but in an entirely different situation. So I should be okay soon.
Thank you. :)

Casablanca, e.t, the wizard of oz, gone with the wind...
those are some i have!
You can borrow them all if youd like!

I don't think I've heard of those before! I would like to watch them! c:

Have you tried drinking? That's what everyone else resorts to.

I've thought about that. Though it only seems like a very temporary solution...

Would you like to join me?

Cibo, what has happened? Did you lose your boyfriend?

If you need to talk about it, I am always here.

Scout is missing. I looked for him for a while.

I think he might be gone.

[ Wow, AM. This is the opposite of not talk about it. Gosh. ]

[Oh this is splendid news for AM because now he can finally have a much more powerful hold on her. It's a good thing this is through text because he has a terrible smile on his face.]

I am terribly sorry to hear that.

Perhaps we could go to the club. That will take your mind away from it.

What is at the club?

Dancing. Music. Lights. Drinking.

I have not danced before. Does it help?

I have not truly danced myself either.

But I do know that humans look to it as a fun activity. It can easily take your mind away from problems.

I will be willing to try it. Perhaps I could ask Murphy if he knows how.

I doubt the dancing at these clubs is that intricate. Just move your body with the music.

[See, this is stuff he definitely gets. It's kinda been a problem for him, too, just... not here. On board. Yet, anyway.]

Which one do you feel like — games, food, or messing with electrical crap?

Because I'm game for any of those things.

If you're wanting to chill somewhere with company, I mean.

[ She's been there-done that, too. And even in a totally different locale, it doesn't seem to get much easier. ]

I'd definitely love the company. Thank you.

And all of those sound great. I haven't played many games though. I'm not sure how good I'll be at them...

Don't worry about it; not very long ago, I didn't even know how to properly play chess. Learning is another way to focus your attention elsewhere, right? Not to mention, there are so many different games out there! You could learn how to kick ass in all of them in the meanwhile.

Got it. Then I definitely would like to learn them. Perhaps the next time you're available you could teach me one or two?

Sure thing. Whenever you got the time, I'm ready. We'll be game pros by the end of our space journey.

Who's--

[He stops before he can finish that question, as he's just now read her response to AM.

[Well then.]

...

Sorry.

D'you, er... need anything?

I was actually going to message you soon— Well, after showering this time...

I've been told that drinking will help. But I'm not sure I'd be comfortable without you. Would you mind if I stopped by in a little while?

Oh, uh, I... Yeah, appreciate that. [The after-shower part, not the...

[Sigh.

[Anyway:] Drinkin' doesn't necessarily help, but I'm not gonna say no to that. So sure, come on over whenever you feel like it. Just rearranged some things in my room recently.

[Aw, Cibo. Even if LB didn't have many strong bonds with people here, there was always a part of her terrified of losing the couple she was close to. But it's okay, because there's only one solution to this:]

Fighting. Eeheeheehee -- whenever I'm feeling shitty, fighting is the only thing that makes me feel even a little bit better.

If you're more focused on keeping yourself alive, then you can't spare the time to think about other things!

Edited 2013-05-21 01:05 (UTC)

[ LB. It's been a while but Cibo is still on your every word. And every word sounds absolutely right. ]

That sounds effective. But I'm almost worried that I'm too upset and that I'll accidentally hurt someone.

I'll just need to be careful and watch my temper...

Well, fights with other people are usually the best, but -- eheheh -- we can't really do that here, can we?

But what about those rats in the genetics lab? Maybe if you're lucky, you can find one of those manticores around? Don't have to be careful around those things.

[ Drinking has already been mentioned, but Jack can't help but mention it as well. ]

Have you tried drinkin', luv? Works for me.

[ The more you guys suggest it, the quicker she wants to start. Someone bring the booze. ]

Not yet, unfortunately. I don't have any with me. A friend does, but I won't be seeing him until later.

Hey, gal, you doing all right?

Sort of. I can't tell if I should be upset or... [ Something else— She's just confused. ]

Sure, it's natural to be upset. Don't think it's wrong or bad to feel that way.

Going to the gardens helps me. Most of the time.

I do have my fish in the gardens. He has always helped to calm me down before. Maybe I will go see him.

[All these people and their edible pets! Andy will really have to be careful.]

There's a fish in the gardens? I didn't know that.

[Oh. This sort of thing is terrible.

If it's not too forward...]

A nice book and a moment to relax with it in the gardens may help.

I-- am sorry for your loss, mademoiselle.

I've been introduced to a few of the books already and I've been meaning to get to them... So I'll be sure to pick one up when I go to visit my coelacanth in the gardens. I'm hoping that just being near him will help. Maybe the book will be extra comfort.

And you don't need to apologize, sir. I understand that it happens to everyone at some point...

There are fish in the gardens also? That's very curious. Perhaps seeing your sea friend will be of a great comfort. Some things remain constant, no?

[It alarms him that it might happen to 'everyone' at some point. He'd not like to imagine that.]

Still, those left behind are brave, no? I am still sorry, that you are forced into such a bravery.

[Oh look it's Zoidberg. He looks fairly nonchalant as he speaks, as if EVERYONE should use this cure for sadness.]

Well when I'm sad I find that the best cure is eating buckets of mackerel.

That or going for a nice scuttle.

[Congratulations Cibo - the answer to your problems.]
