[Remember your ship mechanic? The one who showed up, complained a little, talked a big game, and them retreated to the engine room for two weeks? Well he's back. Back and full of science.]

Whoever's been leaving food by the door, just know that you deserve a raise.

Comments

[housepartyprotocol]

Am I sure? Nope, not really. Hard to prove a negative in space jail.

[touchofrogue]

So how would ya offer a magical elf a raise?

[These are the important questions.]

[housepartyprotocol]

Didn't really offer. More of a sentiment. The elves should really know that.

[touchofrogue]

I think you're givin' a lot of credit ta three inch tall creatures. [Dramatic pause.] 'course, they do make those delicious cookies.

[Because apparently she's now talking about Keebler Elves.]

[housepartyprotocol]

[Suddenly noticing just how lacking he'd been for human interaction. He keeps a straight face.]

Hey, don't underestimate the Keeblers. They are, hands down, the most successful tiny mythical creatures I can think of.

[touchofrogue]

Really? My money would've been on tooth fairy.

[Yes, and this is just the kind of quality interaction you've been missing, isn't it.]

[housepartyprotocol]

Seriously? Their only take home is used teeth.

[touchofrogue]

Right, an' who knows what they use them for? But they only leave a quarter behind, so I figure the exchange rate has gotta be pretty good.

[housepartyprotocol]

Or they're a glorified charity. Which I have nothing against, good for them, but it's not really a sustainable business model on its own.
