gettin shippy with it?

Who: the good folks on the caprine
Broadcast: not likely!
Action: for the good folks on the caprine, or anybody visiting.
When: right now? right now!!!

[ Whether you're new to the ship or happy to be back or really mad to be back...you're here. That's what matters.

Because it's a mingle post. You know how it is. ]

[acuition]

I certainly wouldn't complain about that.

[ She knows to be thankful for people saving her life, after all. ]

Is danger like that common here?

[nextlineis]

Nah, not really. Most people seem to leave us alone while we're out here. But it's happened twice now, I guess.

[Joseph shrugs a little.]

[acuition]

It's terribly dangerous for something that's supposed to be...entertainment.

[nextlineis]

Well, you know, ancient people used to watch other people beat the crap out of each other for fun. I doubt it's lost its touch.

[acuition]

It's certainly possible for it to get old.

[nextlineis]

You could honestly say that about everything we do here.

[acuition]

At least the technology here has yet to lose its charm.

The same, unfortunately, can't be said about fighting.

[nextlineis]

[Oh, that's right. She'd mentioned something about a war to Joseph earlier. Hm.]

Well, it still doesn't happen all that often around here. So you probably don't have to worry about it.

[acuition]

That's good.

Though, if it does happen, I believe I'm in a position to stop it.

[nextlineis]

None of us really are. That's kind what sucks about this place.

[But it's not that much of a negative if you ask Joseph. The benefits have far, far, out weighed the costs to him.]

[acuition]

You don't think we can be safe here?

[nextlineis]

Oh for the most part. But I mean... [Joseph gestures out the front windshield and shrugs a little.] It's space and we're not in control of everything. There's always a little danger out there. That's just life.

[acuition]

It may be life, but...I'd like to be able to stop as much as I can from happening.

[nextlineis]

Good. [He grins. He likes her despite her weird food habits.] That's what all of us should be doing.

[acuition]

[ His glossing over said weird food habits would certainly be appreciated. As would the fact that he likes her. ]

I'm glad that we can work together, in that case.

[nextlineis]

I think you're gonna do just fine here.

[And that's his honest opinion. He wouldn't say it if he didn't think she could have a place on the Caprine.]

[acuition]

I'm happy to hear that.

[ But seriously, it's the first time she's fit in...uh. Anywhere, outside of being with her sisters. ]
