someone eat these goshdarn potatoes

Who: emblica
Broadcast: fleet-wide; voice
Action: it can be for the sake of threads
When: right...now. idk. sometime when the pathstone is at a waystation.

If anyone is interested in having food for their ships, I've been growing some of the vegetables that were provided at the stations. Unfortunately, I now have too many on hand, and they're becoming difficult to store. I'd appreciate if others would be willing to take some for their own ships.

[ A pause, then: ]

That is all.

I'd appreciate it.

--oh, and I'm sorry for being short with you when you came to visit. It wasn't anything to do with you.

[a pause while he... remembers what she was talking about...]

Oh, you know. I just assumed you weren't feeling well, or something.

...I wasn't, but that still doesn't excuse it.

Would you like to talk about it?

I didn't offer food so I could bore you with my troubles. There's no need.

Nah, I like trouble. I'm happy to listen, if you want to tell.

But I will be over to get those potatoes. I guess I can microwave them...

...maybe.

[ Though it's not the kind of "maybe" that means yes. ]

You can do whatever you'd like with them, as long as they're out of this ship.

[the first part only makes him chuckle.]

You could probably feed them to Tek. I bet he'd eat them whole and unhinge his jaw to do it.

[ She'll let that subject drop without a problem. ]

There are enough for him, too, if he wants them.

[ Though she's seen what he's...apparently eaten. ]

He would eat them?

Oh, yeah. He eats all kinds of things. Especially when he's not feeling good. He's like a vacuum.

[yes, these are flattering things to say about your friends.]
