Two quick questions.

Numero uno: how many of us have been off this tin can? Not like, ever, that would be a pretty stupid question. Just since we got landed here, I mean. Can we get a show of hands?

Dos: any folks who have, description? Did you have to get your big bubble helmets on and walk around with a tube leading back here for air, or what? And please, please, tell me that there's like... A space mall, or something. I don't see the point in leaving your home planet unless you can get tacky souvenirs out of the deal. Space souvenirs. Like... Space snow globes.

Or space burritos, at the space food court.

Why does everything sound better when you put 'space' in front of it?

[stop...saying...space]

I beg to differ. Everything becomes significantly worse when you put 'space' in front of it.

[he's got a peculiar tone of voice when he responds, obviously amused but also very blatantly mocking him. he doesn't put on a fake accent, at least??] I space beg space to space differ. Everything space becomes space significantly space worse space when space you spaceput space space space in space front space of space it.

... Space.

[testgasm]

Ugh, see, that is exactly what I mean. You've just taken everything I've said, and made it exponentially terrible by adding the word 'space'.

I've got a friend you might like.

voice;

[mistercocks]

I disagree with your disagreement. I just made everything you just said like, fifty times better. It's my specialty.

Oh, I could always use more friends. In need and in deed, right?

[perma-voice]

[testgasm]

He's not here, right now, but if he ever shows up, I'll point him in your direction.

ssssaaaame;

[mistercocks]

Aw, shit, that's a shame. You must be awful lonely up here in space, then. [100% just looking for chances to drop that word in sentences now yup]

[testgasm]

I'm sure it won't be long. Got people from my world popping up left and right, so, not lonely. If you ask me, some of them should go home.

[mistercocks]

That's doesn't sound too friendly. What, you don't appreciate the company, or something?

[testgasm]

Not this company, no.

[mistercocks]

Got landed with an ex, huh? Lucky you.

[testgasm]

Uh, She's not, thanks for asking.

voice;

[goingsilent]

What do you mean by "space mall"?

voice;

[mistercocks]

Like... A mall. That happens to be in space.

[ Kasumi's definition of mall might be a little different, but she's willing to put that aside for now. ]

There was a market back on the last space station we stopped at. Does that count?

voice; he has no idea how technology works so unless she does it for him this is 100% open fasdf

[mistercocks]

I guess so, yeah. What'd they have for sale?

HA HA WHO IS SWAMPED WITH WORK HA HA HA IT IS ME | voice, from vreille's comm

[mistermanther]

[from the other room:]

Are you being stupid at the network again?

voice,

[mistercocks]

[nonchalant and practically under his breath] Define stupid.

permavoicefromvreille'scomm;

[mistermanther]

[yeah he doesn't even need to hear him. he calls over:]

Put your communicator down now, Vreille.

voice;

[mistercocks]

Why don't you make me, old man?

[mistermanther]

I -- don't make me come over there. It's barely five steps away, and I -- I am much... bigger than you. [WAS ABOUT TO SAY HEAVY..........]

[mistercocks]

Then nope. [aaand right back to scrolling through the network. he snorts, though.] And yeah, around the waist, maybe.

[mistermanther]

I am -- I'm aware. [ouch, right in the self esteem!] Is it a problem? Do you -- do you think it's a problem?

[mistercocks]

What, problem? [his eyes actually flick up at this, amused.] Yeah, I have a huge personal problem with your love handles.

[mistermanther]

No, I mean, not like -- like a big problem, just, do you not like it?

[mistercocks]

Hagan, of the long, long list of things I dislike about you, an extra pinch of baby fat is not my biggest concern.

[mistermanther]

[ANTAGONISTIC IT IS]

Okay, so -- forgive my curiosity, what IS the biggest?

[mistercocks]

[without missing a beat] The fact that you take my list of complaints seriously.

[mistermanther]

-- Vreille! [the sound of footsteps as Hagan trots over to try to tickle him.]

[mistercocks]

What? What-- no! No no nonono that's cheating, you can't-- [he devolves into strained gurgling noises, flopping around helplessly on the chair until he accidentally drops the comm. and sits on it.]
