You'll have to send me to the punitentiary.

I dunno, I kinda like the whole feeling. Anything is possible.

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ. I regret it all, saving your foot included.

[Of course not, and she knows tone through text can be difficult, but luckily she's been taught by the greats.]

😊

[She does like her emoji.]

If you could be anywhere in any world, it'd be somewhere like this?

[willrevile]

[ In his cabin, he's just laughing. ]

😇

Sort of. I'd be on my ship, not stuck somewhere. How about you?

[nineteenfortyfive]

Strange looking horns on that one.

I'd be digging on the dirt on my knees in a garden, somewhere. I always meant to do more than grow things in pots in Olympia, but getting the clinic going was more than enough for me to handle. All's the same now, I guess, given my clinic is not only frozen in time but likely crumbled to dust.

[It was already a little crumbly on the outside before the dragon. Cheap real estate.]

[willrevile]

You're in luck, I'm just about too tired to make a proper horny devil joke.

Nah, it'll be there. Or you'll get some strapping young lads to rebuild a couple walls.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Are you sure being a captain was your calling? Not a comedian?

I never have a shortage of strapping young lads. Funny, that.

[willrevile]

You don't think I'd get heckled offstage?

See, I'm right.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Your smile might save you.

A lady's got to keep the muscle around for these sorts of things. Riots, dragons... we've yet to have natural disasters, unless the dragon counts.

[willrevile]

Aw, doctor.

Definitely an unnatural disaster, that one.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I didn't want the disgusting remarks to keep you up.

Do you think we'll be able to return to Wyver and Olympia eventually?

[willrevile]

Enough of me is already bruised without my ego taking a hit too?

Yeah. I've always figured the Natha weren't interacting with time in a linear way, and hey, look. Mostly I'm just worried for the natives.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Some bruises heal more easily than others.

They do get the short end of the stick in this one. The only way we can help them is getting rid of that monster.

[willrevile]

I wonder how the Natha will manage it without compromising themselves. Or if they'll take the hit - I don't think they have an infinite power source, whatever it is.

[nineteenfortyfive]

What's the worst that can happen at this point?

[willrevile]

Do you really want me to answer that?

[nineteenfortyfive]

I've always appreciated your honesty, Captain.

[willrevile]

Towards the end, reality tore open. It looked like Ysverai was calling down the Storm we're hiding from. So I'd say that's the worst possibility, being completely erased and eaten by infinity. Just below that is the Natha being unable to fix the planet and all of us eventually dying up here either from lack of supplies, the station breaking down, or whatever threat the Natha have been attacked by showing up.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I don't know about you, but being erased sounds better than dying up here. We're going to have a very big problem if supplies become an issue, but so far so good.

[willrevile]

I'll always gamble on more chances.

And if the planet is stabilized, and we return, Darma said the cat's out of the bag. We're going to have to deal with the fallout from the natives - some of which worshiped the 'moon' and saw us as divine, some of which hated us already.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I've had my fill of riots and torture, thank you very much. Makes it tempting to just live out in the wilderness, doesn't it?

[willrevile]

Full of monsters and insta-death fog? Pass for me.

Besides, we've got a responsibility to these people.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I'm sure there's somewhere lighter on the death and swamps with bones buried in them.

But you're right.

[willrevile]

Like up here where everything's clean and air conditioned? I dunno, I like Khalo, too.

It's a shame. We're culpable in the manipulation, even though we didn't ask to come here, just because we've benefited so much. I doubt any of the natives will be getting a quick resurrection.

[nineteenfortyfive]

It's fine up here until I remember I'm in bloody space and feel like I can't breathe. And I missed out on the trip to Khalo. [There was no way, at that time, that she could leave Theon's side.]

No. Though perhaps that can change if they're made aware of the truth.

[willrevile]

It was interesting. Very peaceful, though probably because you get to get stoned to get in.

There's no way around them being aware at this stage, I don't think.
