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.

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.]

[bailedontheempire]

When it's your child, you just know.

[There had never been doubt in his mind]

But the ship takes people from different times as well as world. I have friends here who are dead in my time. And there are those here who think me dead.

[A bit of an overwhelming thought. He tries not to dwell on it.]

[nightblogs]

... And people complain that I'm high all the time.

See - this is why. That right there? That's why.

[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?

[born_this_wayne]

sort of means that he's not actually the brother i knew, he's a different one. but he's still the same person in the end.

[nightblogs]

i know that feeling
except its not because of any time warps
my brother just decided to be a dick

[born_this_wayne]

it's not time warps, it's alternate realities. though he is younger than i knew him as well.

[nightblogs]

or that. hes still a dick

[born_this_wayne]

[damian might have actually chuckled a bit at the accidental word play there but since this isn't voice or video there's no way to be certain really.]

family can be that way.

[sweetmotherofgod]

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

[lightmagic]

It was... strange. Once I met him though, it was a relief to see him so well.

It's for the best that there aren't any babies aboard, I think.

[nightblogs]

no kidding.

[nightblogs]

[what will he do if the weed's gone? TELL HIM, WHAT.]

what do you mean when u say u got close

[nightblogs]

[born_this_wayne]

[nightblogs]

[Just get the good shit from Netherlands, doofus.

The question he actually asks is a little harder though, and it's a while before she answers.]

The family thing. Didn't get married and the kid was kind of adopted, but we were happy.
