3. Good Morning [Text/Open]

[_fredless]

Pancakes for breakfast, and downright friendly ones at that. Not that they're inherently rude to begin with, it wouldn't be proper to start the morning off like that. Still, these are just about perfect.

I think it's going to be a good day.

Great, now we're all going to get dead...

[_fredless]

...because the pancakes have smiley faces on them?

[rayney_day]

Because you had to go and get optimistic.

[_fredless]

I'm really trying to remember where that's a bad thing.

[rayney_day]

Here.

[_fredless]

I'm still sort of new, all things considered. No one told me the occasional bout of happy was off limits.

[rayney_day]

Expressing it tends to end in a whole heap of bad, just to spite you.

[_fredless]

And you really believe that?

[rayney_day]

It's the product of a long line of ship-wide flood-abuse. I try not to question it - might take notice of me.

[She thinks about that]

I guess I haven't been here long enough to really look at it that way.

[rayney_day]

You think about a lot of things differently, after you've been here for a while.

[_fredless]

How long have you been here now?

[rayney_day]

Years. Not a track record I'm proud of.

[breakmychest]

Then leave. And stop raining on other people's parades. Nothing wrong with a bit of optimism every now and again.

[rayney_day]

Fuck off, Spike.

[breakmychest]

Stop harassing my friend. There's nothing wrong with being cheerful.
