That would make us opposites. Greedy person that I have, I want everything you could possibly imagine. I suppose you could say I was just made that way.

[As for trying to space Sasuke, well... that was more of a psychology thing. Or maybe it would've been funny. Or both.]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Or a public service. ]

If you actually include the people on this ship in that, I'll be impressed. There doesn't seem to be much worth wanting.

[ And he is including himself in that, honestly, not entirely self-deluded. ]

[avaricious]

Everyone on this ship has value. Even you, sulky as you are.

[Because hey, they can have shit personalities, but a soul is still a soul.]

[eyeforaneye]

Perhaps it's just the teamwork that's lacking, then.

[ He's gotten a sort of vague sense of camaraderie but is this the ship of walking individual disasters because it really feels that way. No wonder he's at home. ]

[avaricious]

It's a work in progress. Maybe we'll have some trust building exercises later.

[They can all do some trust falls or something. That was usually a winner.]

[eyeforaneye]

Involving how many near-death experiences?

[ Hopefully at least a few. That's how you know your bond is real. ]

[avaricious]

Much as I'd like to see a few come our way, this place hasn't exactly been brimming with action. The most excitement we get around here is a demented cook and stolen toilet water.

[It's a different kind of bonding experience.]

[eyeforaneye]

[ Well I'm glad you brought it up, because-- ]

What the hell is the obsession with the toilets? And water in general? If it's being wasted in the wrong places then it's only going to make putting out the fires in the kitchen more trouble.

I'll bring order to that place. [ That kitchen is going to be spotless and probably full of even more blades than it ever would've needed. ]

[avaricious]

Look. It's been a long week. You trying to space yourself is as normal as it gets around here.

[There's just no need to go into what happened with Lapis.]

[eyeforaneye]

...

First you say things are dull and inactive, then you say it's been a long week.

[avaricious]

Yeah? Where's the contradiction?

[There's been a handful of interesting things that happened. Everything else was routine.]

[eyeforaneye]

In my experience when things are drawn out they're also full of creative attempts on my life. Maybe I'm just lucky enough to know lively people.

[avaricious]

You were lucky enough to know lively people. We have our incidents here, but they don't get much more exciting than this. You'll want to get used to it.

[Because hell, Greed is likewise used to having people try to kill him - especially now that he's in exile again. But that's not so much the case here, even while being his normal self.]

[eyeforaneye]

You seem disappointed by the fact that you don't have any of those 'lively people' yourself. Perhaps that's just the case when you're able to lose arms without consequence or are 'fireproof'.

[ Sasuke likes to think he's above that desire, but...

yeah. He's probably going to miss violence like a pianist misses the familiar sound of music. It's just weird if things are peaceful. ]

[avaricious]

Hey, you've been listening after all. Good on you.

[He's proud of you Sasuke. Good job.]

[eyeforaneye]

Confident though I may be in my own survival skills I'm still new here. It's in my best interest to pay attention.

That said, is there anyone you'd recommend avoiding?

[avaricious]

Why would I recommend that? These ships aren't exactly big enough to avoid running into anybody. So no matter how annoying they get - you gotta learn to live with them.

[eyeforaneye]

That's probably easier to say if you're someone who's greedy and wants more people around to claim.
