They rotate us out sometimes and no one's ever confirmed where we go.

[At least, that's what he's assuming she's asking about.]

It's just a shitload of speculation. Mostly based on wherever we been before this, since a bunch of us have done the interdimensional shuffle before. [He shrugs a little, like whatcha gonna do.] The rathole I crawled out of just dumped us back where we came from.

[fedupwithyourbull]

[well, that's part of it, anyway.]

So... they kidnapped an old man, put him here, then decided he wasn't entertaining enough and sent him somewhere else?

[feathery]

Hypothetically. I mean to be honest I would have found him hilarious if I had the exclusive outsider perspective. Preteen me would have watched a show featuring him.

[But he's figured out at this point that his sense of humor is Weird—and that's on a good day.]

But who knows why Atroma does what they do. Maybe someone misclicked when they were moving his file and dragged him to the recycle bin instead.

[fedupwithyourbull]

[davesprite this is really alarming]

Does anyone know where he went?

[feathery]

[He is terrible. Sorry, Blake.]

No one besides him. And even that's questionable, if you ask me. ...Which you did. [Uh.] I'd try not to overthink it, though.

[fedupwithyourbull]

That sounds like something worth overthinking.

[feathery]

Sure, though that's probably a way down the road of driving yourself insane and spending your whole ride here in a never-ending state of anxiety.

[fedupwithyourbull]

[... well, at least Yang is here to snap her out of it if it does happen again.]

You won't solve anything if you don't try to think about it.

[feathery]

[Davesprite rolls his eyes, but it's more good-natured than anything derisive.]

I said overthink. Big difference.

[fedupwithyourbull]

It's hard not to, when there's potential lives at stake.

[feathery]

Yeah, but that's probably why it's more important not to. [He shrugs.] Or at least that's how it always was in the cosmic clusterfuck that prematurely kicked me out and put me on the street for adoption.

Though to be fair, there's not a whole lot else to do besides think. At least when we're holed up in the ships for days on end.

[fedupwithyourbull]

Is there anything to read around here?

[She has so many questions, but it feels like she won't ever understand, so... Let's focus on the real priorities.]

[feathery]

Depends what you pick up at the stations. There've been a couple dramatic readings on the network. I think someone mentioned a library, but I never seen it.

[He doesn't even remember what ship it was, tbh.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

A library sounds great, but... I'm surprised they gave us that kind of a resource here.

[feathery]

I dunno. It was set up by another crew before I got here, so the collection might not be that varied. Sounds like there's probably a lot of romcom trash, if that's your speed.

[fedupwithyourbull]

Not really.

[It is. It is absolutely her speed.]

But if they have other genres there, I'm sure I'll manage.

[feathery]

We got movies, too. Oh, and a bunch of data files. There's all kinds of shit in there.
