Momotaros, do you still want to spar? Meet me in the gym.

[audio // English]

Does anyone here have hobbies besides drinking, violence, and sex?

I'm wondering if the proclivities of the passengers are an artifact of the selection process that populates this place, or if it's just the boredom getting to everyone.

I cook.

electroniccrane May 23 2009, 20:28:51 UTC

Oh? What style?

thenotmagician May 23 2009, 20:31:05 UTC

I'll cook anything at least once.

[Cause that answers everything]

electroniccrane May 23 2009, 20:37:35 UTC

But what do you enjoy cooking? Or is it more about the process than the result?

I certainly do. I spend most of my time reading and embroidering.

electroniccrane May 23 2009, 20:29:15 UTC

What have you been reading lately?

[The Major is beyond uninterested in embroidery.]

notaninnocent May 23 2009, 20:34:51 UTC

[But Major, it's such a fulfulling hobby!]

Several of Mr Dickens's novels - I used to follow them in the literary magazines - and Jane Eyre, one of my favourites. Oh, and I also found several interesting novels about a doctor who travelled around in a blue police box, but they too confusing.

[You know what's fulfilling, Johanna? Having lots of guns and ample opportunity to use them.]

Dickens is certainly a way to keep occupied.

"Police box?" It looks like a phone booth, doesn't it? I think we have a television series something like that in my world.

[She's only dimly aware of the existence of Doctor Who. Which is of course still going strong in 2032.]

Not like there's anything else to do.

Can't even do the sex thing, anyway.

electroniccrane May 23 2009, 21:36:14 UTC

[Oh god Karis that's horrible.]

You could take up embroidery. Or perhaps scrapbooking.

teethofneedles May 23 2009, 22:05:27 UTC

[Your sympathy simply drips through the communicator.]

Tried embroidery once when I was a kid. I hated it.

[Turns out she really sucks at empathy. Who'd've thought?]

Oh dear. I suppose you're stuck with violence and drinking, then.

[Not that she has anything against either of those activities.]

You forgot 'being mopey and depressed' on your list.

[audio // Japanese] electroniccrane May 23 2009, 22:37:44 UTC

Well, it's a hobby the way fishing is a hobby, I suppose.

Do you cheat?

Mm. How did that go?
