So when we're not at dock, what do people do for entertainment around here?

This is coming from someone who hasn't taken leave in the last seven years.

	Ummm.. eat, drink, and watch movies. Try to spar and end up in the brigs. Go swimming in the pool. Play an assassin game with... not actual weapons. Go to cooking classes or Build-A-Bear or learn to fold towels into animals. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hey, there's more stuff to do whenever we get back to Tumbleweed! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh? What kind of things to they have there? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	There is a pamphlet of activities and amenities. I haven't so much as glanced at it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	We're not much for downtime, are we? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, I suppose we aren't (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What have you always wanted to do that you never had time for? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ri Way to put me on the spot here. I haven't had as much time for research as I would have liked. Being a soldier doesn't leave much room for being a scientist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Perhaps there's a way to continue your research here? Reach out to other scientists on the ship? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mustang_roy 2018-02-26 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	It's... a different sort of science. Alchemy. From what I've seen, I might be the only alchemist on this ship. Transmutations can also be mistaken for explosions. There's a bit of pop and light at times. I miss my books. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, so magic? There's quite a few magicians, wizards, witches. I was planning on taking advantage of research opportunities while everyone else is here to speak to people from other worlds about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Science. Alchemy. Transmutation. It's definitively a science. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Uh huh.~~ Is everyone from your world capable of doing alchemy on some level, or only those for a gift for it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mustang_roy 2018-02-26 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	In the same way that anyone can play piano on some level. Like any discipline, it just requires study and practice. There's varying degrees of strength depending on your training and how you construct your arrays, different specializations. Sometimes people are more gifted than others.

	hurlyburly 2018-02-26 08:14 pm UTC (link)
	I think you'll find plenty of magic users here who treat their discipline like a science. Someone named Willow was wanting to look closer into the relationship between magic and science? ~~Just don't blow anything up. We're on a boat.~~ There may be more opportunities for research if you keep an open mind is all I'm saying. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Now's the perfect time to learn new hobbies. And I'm pretty sure a bunch of people know chess if you wanted a game. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	mustang_roy 2018-02-26 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	I do play chess, actually. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That'll keep you busy for an hour or so. (Reply to this) (Parent)
