When: 12/8, early morning

I can't find a listing of ships counselors. I know they exist, I just need a list. And I need to know which ones are actually reliable. Personal experience rather than conjecture preferred but not requisite.

[And that . . . appears to be all.]

[ ... Oh. That voice is familiar. The girl who was asking for the history of this place, wasn't it?

She doesn't comment on remembering her for now, but she will switch to audio to match, after a pause. With the type of questions she's asking, Ino is starting to see why she needs someone to talk to. ]

I've never had a case involving cannibalism, no.

[ Just about every other weird way you could die, but somehow -- not that one. She pauses again, before deciding she wants to make at least this much clear: ]

... I'd understand if you weren't comfortable talking about it with someone without that experience, but regardless, my offer to listen is still open if you need it.

No. I think being that picky would land me nothing. It's not like it's a particularly common problem - even if I were at home and had my pick, I doubt I'd find someone who specialized.

I don't need you to know exactly what I went through. You can't. So this is actually probably better.

I'm really fucked up, fair warning. But it sounds like you're used to really fucked up.

[ There's a small amused sound at her last comment. ]

If there's anything I've learned from floating around the multiverse for several years, it's that experiencing what you have is probably exactly why you were brought here. It's not very fun for whatever's running the show to play dolls with people who haven't had something messed up or weird happen to them.

-- How do you want to do this, by the way? I have an office on the ship we could meet in, but I haven't really had the opportunity to get much in the way of furniture or anything comfortable for it.

Wow, you're bitter.

[She sounds cheerfully approving. She's bitter, too!]

I don't know. I'm kind of thinking about that . . . what's the office like now? Is it just a room with chairs?

[ She just laughs a little at the comment, both because of what she said and how she said it. Maybe she is, but it's only the truth. ]

Yeah, pretty much. I keep some extra weapons in there too, since it's convenient storage space.

[ A little sheepishly: ]

Not exactly super welcoming for guests, though.

The second therapist I ever had, he had this really nice home office. It was big and open and super comfortable. Probably the prettiest room I'd ever seen.

That's where I died. So I honestly would be much happier with utilitarian.
