This ship is a little too fancy for my tastes, but I won't complain about everything being free. I hope they have a very large food supply, with the portions they're giving out.

AVA AYALA + ALINA

Sorry to have missed you last night; Alina and I were exploring the ship. I was told you will be sharing our cabin. I'm Mal.

	Yeah, free's not bad at all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Hopefully they have places to stop for supplies, in case we run out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure they do, unless they expect us to start fishing for our own dinner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't mind that, actually, except it would be hard from a boat this size. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmaidmarian 2018-01-09 01:41 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, it probably would be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How have you settled in on the ship? No seasickness, I hope? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notmaidmarian 2018-01-10 01:58 pm UTC (link)
	No, none of that. I'm not really settled in general, though. I feel a little trapped. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-11 05:05 am UTC (link)
	I know what you mean. Funnily enough, I felt freer on the ships I sailed on at home, even though they were much smaller. More time spent out in the air, up in the sails, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	It's a fortress masquerading as a ship, if you ask me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 02:09 am UTC (link)
	I think I would have chosen the word 'palace', but I can see what you mean. I would have liked to have some sails to trim and ropes to knot, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kingofscars 2018-01-08 02:13 am UTC (link)
	It certainly isn't any sort of palace in my book. The staff are too friendly for one. I assume you and Alina are rooming together? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 02:14 am UTC (link)
	That is somewhat unnerving. Yes, we have a room in a shared suite. What about you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kingofscars 2018-01-08 02:17 am UTC (link)
	To say the least. Much the same as you, but with Buffy. It's almost as if someone knew to assign us that way, which... again, somewhat unnerving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 02:19 am UTC (link)
	Admittedly, you weren't being very subtle. However - it still implies that someone has been watching. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kingofscars 2018-01-08 02:22 am UTC (link)
	The good news there is that I wasn't aiming for subtle. I also happen to be an overall suspicious variety of bastard, so there is that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 02:23 am UTC (link)
	In your defense, you've had good reason to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kingofscars 2018-01-08 02:26 am UTC (link)
	I appreciate the acknowledgement. It does interfere with trust when so many people would prefer you dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Assigning you to the same room as your lover doesn't quite seem like the act of someone who wants to kill you. Not immediately, at any rate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kingofscars 2018-01-08 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Not immediately, no. I supposed plenty remains to be seen, but no one has died at the bar from poisoning yet. Nothing makes me happier than knowing the alcohol is safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 03:07 am UTC (link)
	As long as the food and alcohol are safe, we'll be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hi, I'm Ava. You wouldn't have to worry too much about me being in your way. I'll likely be at the library. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Same Filter otkazatsya 2018-01-08 03:08 am UTC (link)
	I have no idea where I'll be spending most of my time yet, however, I hope you don't feel you have to avoid us. It's your suite as much as it is ours. Are you a student, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Filter razorclaws 2018-01-08 04:10 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Well, I was. Unfortunately, college doesn't exist on the ship. I can't, however, just sit around idly and not study. It's not in my nature. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Filter otkazatsya 2018-01-08 04:13 am UTC (link)
	I heard they had classes available for the younger students, but I'm guessing that was not for college level studies. I'm not particularly educated, by this world's standards, however, I do understand the dislike of being idle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Filter razorclaws 2018-01-08 04:35 am UTC (link)
	Which I think should still be an option, if not a requirement. I can understand how it can be a requirement for anyone younger than 17. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Same Filter otkazatsya 2018-01-08 04:38 am UTC (link)
	I'm afraid I don't have much in the way of advice, I know very little about college. Are you studying for anything in particular? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	tidalking 2018-01-08 03:55 am UTC (link)
	We did run out of coffee when we were in space. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 04:02 am UTC (link)
	I'll admit I'm less concerned with that than sustenance, but you're right, we did. Any venture should be well-stocked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tidalking 2018-01-08 04:08 am UTC (link)
	I haven't quite gotten the taste for it either, but there seem to be quite a lot of people who take it very seriously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 04:09 am UTC (link)
	If you rely on caffeine for energy, I'd imagine so. I've just gotten very used to functioning while exhausted. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tidalking 2018-01-08 04:19 am UTC (link)
	We grew seaweeds in Atlantis that had similar effects. I doubt they exist elsewhere, after thousands of years of selective cultivation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-08 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Seaweed, really? That's fascinating. I've never heard of such a thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tidalking 2018-01-08 05:31 am UTC (link)
	Usually there is very little plant life so deep, but we have a long history of scientific discovery. I don't think it's a coincidence that my mother is a scientist as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-09 07:05 am UTC (link)
	Perhaps you'll be able to go swimming in this ocean and discover what plant life it holds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tidalking 2018-01-09 07:22 am UTC (link)
	Oh, no doubt. Perhaps not too much exploring while the ship is moving, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	otkazatsya 2018-01-09 07:23 am UTC (link)
	Indeed. Even the jump off the ship seems dangerous. (Reply to this) (Parent)
