I can't say what I was expecting when I agreed to this, but a ship in the stars? Maybe I should just stop being surprised when these things happen to me

Well then you came at the wrong time if you wanted a few minutes of peace.

See those furr balls all around? Don't feed them. And if you want to be useful help get them in the empty rooms.

Welcome aboard Cypher.

[onetrueseeker]

I guess ten minutes really was too much to ask.

What are they?

[hyposprayed]

You'll adapt.

They're called tribbles. They're harmless except for the fact they reproduce asexually and rapidly. Only one started reproducing about a day ago and now look at this mess.

[onetrueseeker]

Too much rest and I suppose I would be bored.

[lone_sister]

Seeker.

I knew you couldn't stay away from me.

[onetrueseeker]

Cara? What are you doing here?

[lone_sister]

I'm told that I'm an inmate.

I have not been informed of my crimes however.

[onetrueseeker]

But I thought inmates were dead souls. What happened to you?

[keepsonrunning]

At least you could make the choice. I just woke up here in some room.

[onetrueseeker]

You must be an inmate, then.

[keepsonrunning]

So I've been told. I only got here today, so I haven't worked out what exactly that means yet.

[onetrueseeker]

It means you can make up for any wrongs you've done and move on to peaceful afterlife.

If you want peace and quiet, then around here the pub is hardly the place to go. Welcome to the Barge, Monsieur Cypher.

[onetrueseeker]

I'm quickly learning that this whole ship may not have been the place to go. But thank you for the welcome, Mister...?

[young_idealist]

St. Just, Armand St. Just. I think we do good work here. If you are a good man, you'll do well here.

[onetrueseeker]

I hope I'm a good man. I try to do good things, at least.

[greatlightother]

This might not be the most terrible thing to start happening, but you did come at a good time to help, once you have your time at the pub.

[onetrueseeker]

Considering the circumstances, I think I'll have my time in the pub after this is dealt with.

[greatlightother]

That is for the best, then. But there will be plenty of time, so I have heard, to relax after.

[onetrueseeker]

A few moments of peace would be a wonderful thing.
