[Honestly? He'd kind of put this whole bad idea out of his mind, but given recent developments-- Aidan's not going to go flashing his face all over the comm over it, but it's worth saying.]

I realize this is going to sound pretty stupid to anyone over the age of twelve, but I've seen a couple of people joking about a buddy system before. And I'm not saying it's anything we have to do but it... might not be the worst idea in the world? Maybe at least get to know your neighbor - that kind of thing. That way if anyone starts to go off the deep end, at least one other person might notice it before another person goes the full hallucinatory, seeing signs and portents and monsters level of crazy.

[The briefest beat:]

Or go running off into parts of the ship that no one should be able to get to and threatening to wreak havoc. That kind of thing.

I'd like to go on the record as not thinking that sounds stupid.

( ilde didn't wade into charlotte's post because no, but she certainly took notice-- and it isn't as if she hasn't been sort of constantly alarmed since arrival. )

[Good. See - totally not a bad idea at all.]

Exactly. I mean, I don't want to force anyone to over share with a stranger or anything, but I also don't want me neighbor shooting me because they think I'm-- I'm going to rip their throat out or something.

[Slow, indelicate choice of words there Aidan.]

audio.

[fatespoken]

That's only assuming your neighbor you can trust your neighbor. Handful of people from different world, there's got to be two or three psychopaths in the bunch.

[civilwarring]

[Hah. Hah. Psychopaths? Here? No.]

Okay, so maybe get to know your other neighbor then.

You said before "another" goes hallucinatory and sees monsters -- has someone done that before, then?

[civilwarring]

There were memories floating around - or people had dreams in stasis? I don't really know. But it seems pretty likely that the crew before us went a slightly space crazy.

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

The...original intent of the "buddy system" was to ensure that no one was missing from the Jump.

[A slight pause - ]

This is not, however, a terrible idea.

voice;

[civilwarring]

Thanks for the approval.

[Very, very, nigh untraceable sarcasm there.]

I'm not saying we force anyone to be friends just - looking out to make sure the person down the hall isn't seeing things and strongly considering a rampage doesn't take that much effort. All things considered.

[wolfchild]

[ and from the actual 12-year-old— ]

Some do not have neghbors.

[civilwarring]

Okay, metaphorical neighbor then? I don't know. Just someone you could check in with.

[parallels]

Of course, that assumes your neighbor is friendly and hasn't gone bonkers themselves.

[She snorts.]

Not a terrible idea in theory though.

[civilwarring]

Okay, maybe not 'make sure your neighbor hasn't gone bonkers' and more 'make sure they haven't gone more bonkers.' Better?

[invisibilitea]

Hullo, Aidan!

This really isn't that bad idea, is it?

[civilwarring]

[There's a notable perk up to his tone of voice.]

Hey! --Thanks. I don't think so, but you know. Ship wide anarchy. Can't control the mob etc, etc.

[hiya pal just here representing BH UK negativity to contrast with Annie's cheerfulness]

Seein' monsters around here might not actually be a sign of craziness. [which you should know all about!] And who gets put in charge of keeping this thing going?

[a pause for the sake of some nice dark humor.]

You?

crosses the streams!!

[civilwarring]

[And cue someone getting just the slightest bit defensive -- and promptly trying to shirk any responsibility for this whole idea.]

No. I mean, I don't think it would need someone in charge. We're all adults here. [--well, you know, whatever. Mostly.]

[wrecktified]

It's a nice thought, but some of us have already gone off the deep end. (hahaha he's just joking.





sort of.....)

And this is trying to make sure you don't swan dive the rest of the way down.

Luckily for you, this ship is apparently full of eleven year-olds. [ there's a compliment in there, somewhere. ] And while I'm obviously not nay-saying, here, I'm wondering if we shouldn't worry about the imported kinds of crazy. Either keeping an eye on them, or— [ a pause, like he's not entirely sure this is appropriate. ] Making allowances for them. [ because he's pretty sure 'unstable werewolf' and 'addict vampire' might register on someone else's objective crazy scale. ]

I don't really want to think about how bad that makes our odds-- [Because Aidan Waite being the adult in the room is literally the simplest tried and true recipe for disaster there is.]

But uh- how would we even start to track that kind of thing? I'm not going to be Edgeworth 2.0 and try to make everyone take mental health surveys when they jump in. And it's not like everyone's okay with flashing their crazy around.

[braveness]

I'm surprised there wasn't one before given how messed up this place is.

[ Not like he's been here long but from what all he has heard... ]

[civilwarring]

I don't think we're as organized as people pretend to be.

[cortisone]

Judging by the responses- I think you're over estimating how much people care about the safety of everyone at large, or- contributing to the cause.

[And she's just a little amused by the terminology. Buddy system? Baw, Aidan. But babby made a post, so proud]

[civilwarring]

Yeah, well. I probably shouldn't be surprised.

[AND YET-- also someone else totally used buddy system before him. Don't judge, Nora.]

[chuffle]

The only way to get around here is through the buddy system.

[civilwarring]

It's definitely one of the smarter ways to do it, yeah.
