hello

sorry about the threatening your basic means of sustainable life thing the other time

and thank you people who responded kindly which was all of you really

my name is Robyn and i came here in the cycle before this one

i can hand sew a bit if you need anything repaired and cook

Comments

[hedoniste]

Well, we all react differently to stress.

We talked last time; I'm Ilde.

[coldhardy]

What can you cook?

[stoirme]

so we did

i never asked if you were a pilot or a half-pilot

[stoirme]

normally i like seafood but space

from what we've got i can put together stews, casseroles, soups, meals that have been described to me as curry -esque

i'm not much of a baker but i'm plenty bored enough to try

[coldhardy]

Can you help me learn? Or can I watch you? I was never really taught.

[hedoniste]

There's a little boy working in flight crew that I'd call the half. Though, frankly, it's not as if I've got any relevant experience I didn't get here on the Tranquility.

[stoirme]

at least he would have been portable

nice to meet you better

[stoirme]

oh yeah sure

teach a man to fish and all that

which floor you on? i can set up there next time

[hedoniste]

He seems pretty game, too, to be honest.

You, too. If it makes you feel any better, although he hasn't threatened anyone, I don't think my brother realizes this is actually happening yet, so you're ahead of that curve.

making friends and influencing people I see

How are you for eye makeup

private text

[stoirme]

yes i have three friends now

not well

[stoirme]

have to hand it to him that sort of staying power is admirable

where i am from the prospect of waking up in a prison ship in space is not so outrageous so that's why

[hedoniste]

I had a sort of similar moment, when I woke up here after having been home, but the kind of places you might end up there, you'd be less mobile. Mixed blessing, realizing it wasn't that.

[stoirme]

prisons where i'm from aren't exactly this amount of liberal either but maybe they were trying a new thing

easier to justify at the moment than a transdimensional cock up

[hedoniste]

We don't really do prisons, per se, back home. 'Complete psychotic break' was my more compelling theory, both times. Much less embarrassingly on take two.

( she'd been much subtler about it, the second time around. )

[blackmagus]

What's a little threatening between friends?

This place doesn't exactly welcome people nicely.

[bailedontheempire]

People who can prepare meals are always appreciated on board. The cooking skill among the passengers is... rather varied.

[stoirme]

it could do with some pomp and ceremony i think

or pants

[stoirme]

i've done my time in kitchens so i don't mind it

being useful without my wee arm brand changing numbers

[stoirme]

i don't think my psychosis would be this creative

[hedoniste]

My nanny told me I could do anything I put my mind to, and gosh darn it, I believed her.

( although it loses a certain wide-eyed obnoxiousness in text, the gosh darn it probably indicates the level of earnestness that this does not have. )

What have you been doing with yourself?

[stoirme]

visited places that seemed worth the walk, looked at the shuttles (dunno if i saw you there), read some, drank some, slept some

definitely no crying at any point

oh and the gardens

william told me about them. we were working on something like it back home

[hedoniste]

( a quick flick to video - ilde manages to refrain from pretending she's taking a selfie - and back again, brief and illustrative. )

You might've done. Ship liquor or do you have a kindly friend?

I believe you.

You might've seen me there, actually. If you spotted at any point a tail in the water that looked unusually large for a fish, that would've been me.

[blackmagus]

A welcoming pamphlet would have been terrific, instead of having to get it from people who scrounged it together themselves.

[Come on, ship, don't make your passengers do everything for you...]

I take it you're feeling better, then.

[stoirme]

ship liquor. it was alright

you got fins?
