--ice cream? Oh. Buttons!

You know, sometimes buttons are toys. You can push them and things happen. That’s a toy, right? I pushed a button once and it made a whole planet explode and maybe one day someone will invent buttons that turn things into ducks! That would be helpful. If you were a duck. And lonely. Do ducks get lonely?

Welcome aboard.

[wildcolors]

Is there one coming onto the ship? I'm not sure how you'd welcome a board. Maybe with confetti? Who're you? Are you the board?

[shenghuanzhe]

[He's kinda drunk so sure.]

Yeah, kid, y'just came onto the ship. I'm bored, but I ain't the board.

[wildcolors]

I'm going to find it. And welcome it. With confetti.

What's your name?

[shenghuanzhe]
