[tanvirus]

[The voice that comes from the comm is a little more hoarse than usual, and maybe sounds a touch out of breath.]

Bartenders and cooks aside, what do you--whoops--what do you do on this godforsaken ship? Starting to go a little nuts doing nothing here.

[The careful listener may note the sound of something hitting the ground. What he dropped is (

Comments

[reckless_riley]

Get laid.

Eat. Drink.

Watch an endless stream of movies. Explore the hell out of the ship.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

[Pause.]

In that order.

[tanvirus]

So nothing productive.

[Not that he minds any of those things! Especially the getting laid.]

[reckless_riley]

Not so much.

I mean I'm sure people have the driving need to do something useful with all their free time but...eh.

[She shrugs, even if he can't see it.]

[tanvirus]

[A more distinct whap this time. He's definitely throwing something at the wall.]

If it works for you, sweetheart. It just sure as fuck doesn't work for me.

[bringthedeadup]

I'm tempted to raid the stores and see how long it takes someone to notice.

Or figure out what to do with all the knicknacks.

[Cecil, he is also bored. SHARE YOUR IDEAS WITH HIM.]

[tanvirus]

Stores seem pretty free, so raid away. Sorry to be a buzzkill.

Luggage is pretty interesting for a little while. Can find some weird shit in there.

[oh god the bored. THE BORED.]

[bringthedeadup]

But someone's gotta restock them, right? We could camp out and wait to see.

[Cecil will not be deterred.]

Luggage?

[tanvirus]

Could...I can think of things I'd rather do, though.

[Hint hint]

Yeah, there's a whole deck just full of it. Found some sneakers there the other day.

[audio]

[kazeyotsutaete]

... Used to race.

[tanvirus]

[Oh, hi, Roll. He wasn't expecting to hear your voice.]

Oh yeah? What'd you race?

[kazeyotsutaete]

[She's bored too, Tan. That's all.]

Cars, on the racing deck here actually.

[tanvirus]

[Still hasn't been forgiven, has he?]

Y'know, I never learned to drive.

[dormant_beast]

The...library. I stay in the library, mostly. [It's quiet, she's left alone, she's rarely bothered.]

[tanvirus]

[He...might recognize this voice. He's pretty sure he's heard it over the comms before, but he doesn't know the owner.]

Just reading? Or studying or what?

[dormant_beast]

A bit of both, yes? I very much like to learn.

[tanvirus]

Reading I can handle. Studying, not so much. It's not for me, I guess.

[Or MAYBE he should stop trying to study 4th dimension programming algorithms, ffs, Tan.]

[ntjstapwn]

I didn't learn to tend bar until after I got here.

[tanvirus]

Maybe you or Remy could teach me some things.

[There might be a faint note of reluctance in his voice. It'd be something to do, yes, but it's not really what he'd like to be doing.]

[ntjstapwn]

It was the only thing I could find here that made me feel like I was contribuing something.

[tanvirus]

Yeah.

I get that. Not much I know how to do, here.

[And...whap! Another juggling ball bites the dust.]

Fuck! ...Throw these overboard...
