Y'know, it really fuckin' sucks to be homesick. I can handle the space craziness 'n all, and the people here are pretty nice, but. Shit. I want to go home, already. I miss my mom, I miss my dad, I miss Pollo, I miss-

[Helios. The oldest of the Crius triplets, the one that couldn't stand the sight of his own family anymore and ran away to use the dark crafts for his own benefit.]

... What does that mean for you when the golden child turns out to be the black sheep of the family? Huh? Must suck to be a parent then.

[Must suck to be stuck with the other two kids you never had much hope for, too.]

How many of you have kids, anyway? I'm guessing none of 'em are stuck in this shithole. Don't look like it's bringing in entire families or whatever.

[... Which in turn, makes him wonder:]

Wait. Shit. Are there families here? Like - did anyone meet, get married 'n have kids? Then they'd be space babies. Holy fucking shit. Has that actually happened?

I don't think that would be allowed. Too close to a happy ending.

[nightblogs]

u rly think so
with all the trippy stuff that happens here

[sweetmotherofgod]

Happy middle, then. I got close. The only reason you get something good here is so it can be taken away.

Tranquility seems to have an inordinate fondness for my family. I have a little girl, who they brought as an adult. And then a granddaughter for a time. The only family member I have left on board is [his seriously what do you even call that?] Luke.

I've heard of a few weddings, but no births.

[nightblogs]

Damn. Like - how do you know she was your girl, for real? Did you run a DNA test or something?

[There's no way it could just - grow up people, right? Unless they're from different time periods, but he didn't even consider that happening within families.]

[Hey bro.]

Guess the only uptick of being an orphan is that I don't have any family to miss.

[nightblogs]

[... point.] But you still got friends. Right?

I have a son. He should be here, since we were together before I woke up here.

[ she doesn't address the baby thing, but shrugs and posits simply: ]

Why not?

[nightblogs]

Oh. 'Kay. Sorry about your kid. Why not what?

Four versions of my real brother, two of my very briefly fake one, three versions of my daughter, and two guys I met in New York--pretty sure that's it. My brother and my daughter are still here, but I have two sons at home.

The point is this ship can bring up anyone. You oughta be prepared in case it ever does.

There was a pregnant woman on board one time, so I don't think it's impossible, and we got birth control down in the medbay. Frankly if anyone made a conscious decision to bring kids into the equation while we're still on this hell boat, it might be time to fetch the white coats with the buttons round the back.

[nightblogs]

Four versions? Like - [then he said two, then three, now- What. Damn.] Like, all of them at the same time?

[kutte]

[ do you know who isn't talking about tara's pregnancy? this guy. instead!! ]

You went ahead and buzzed it all off, kid?

[nightblogs]

Did what?

[oh right.]

Oh, you mean my hair? Yeah. Went a little crazy with it.

[northerner]

My family is here.

[ the whole mess of starks, yo. ]

Not all at once, but many members of my House have come and gone since I have been here.

[nightblogs]

Damn, dude. Is it a big family?

[likescats]

I ...HAD A DAUGHTER. AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS THANKFULLY NOT ON THIS SHIP.

[nightblogs]

[oh is that a ghoul]

You guys have daughters?

[inafadingcrown]

I have a daughter. [Who she has been seeing in her dreams. It's the reason for the wistfulness in her voice.] And three grandchildren. I believe that I am grateful they have not found their way here.
