lacey burrows, ~desmond hume

Hello ~~Islanders~~ everyone.

My name's Desmond, some of you I may have met at some point, some of you may have met me at some point, and if we're really lucky the two might even cross over and we'll actually have met each other. (Time travel is messy.)

Anyway, I'm here for however long I'm here, and I'm sure I can at least offer some of you friendship, but more specifically, the skills I have to offer that may or may not be transferable to a space station.

- I can sail pretty well.
- I am good with my hands, and I can have a good go at most carpentry work.
- I know basic emergency first aid.
- I have a religious background, and although I am clearly not a member of the monastery anymore, in the absence of any priest/minister/rabbi/whatever, I am happy to listen and advise firstly, and perhaps on a more "useful" note, I have conducted christenings, weddings, funerals etc for islanders in the past (and in the future).
- I did a six month detail with the military in disarming munitions. Hopefully that'll not come in handy, but you never know.
- On a similar note, I can handle most firearms well.

Other than that... I don't know, but if you're in need I'll try to help with pretty much anything I can.

I also like wine, scotch, old records, and a good game of football (soccer). On a more sociable note.

	Well, congratulations, Sean! That is fantastic news. Do I know your fiance? Family is a blessing to have around in a world like this. I'm glad for you. Yes, thank you. I managed to hear from Kat early on so that saved me from getting too messy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. I don't know if you know him. Bobby Colquhoun? He's an artist. Oh that's good. So you're head's on straight again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Colquhoun? Scottish, is he? You know, he was a set designer for the Royal Shakespeare Company? So was I, years later, but they had some of of his designs in the archives there. Weird. Surreal. In a good way, I mean. Assuming it's the same guy, never actually met him, just looked at the designs. Yeah, pretty much. I mean as straight as it ever is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well now you can actually meet him. I've got one of his paintings tattooed on my shoulder, actually. That's really good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd be honoured. And that's pretty cool actually, nice idea. So, when's the wedding? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was actually a Valentine's day present for him. We decided on October 12th. Pretty much the only decision we've made so far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, you big softie. Sounds good, and hey it's an important decision. If you need any help just give me a shout, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What can I say? He's amazing. I'm probably going to do that. I've never planned a wedding before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Generally speaking, when one comes to plan their wedding, it usually is their first time. Not always, granted, but more often than note. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	seanrogers 2018-06-02 05:20 am UTC (link)
	That is very true. Any suggestions you can make right off the bat? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ourmutualfriend 2018-06-02 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Not really. Don't stress too much. Remember that it is about you and Bobby and don't get too hung up on what other people might want or think. Consider what is important to you and your partner, and start by including those things. (Reply to this) (Parent)
