you know what sucks about being brought here

[oh boy, here we go.]

like apart from being sol in space. the basic premise here is that this is reality tv right? which is never actually reality. so they specifically picked us based on entertainment value is my guess. can you imagine anyone normal and fine and competent being interesting to watch? nah, not as much as someone who's constantly a mess. isn't it weird to think about how everyone here was picked probably because they're dysfunctional enough for viewers to keep watching? adding insult to injury if you ask me.

anyways i'm kind of curious about what makes you strange enough to be here. fill me in if you've got a guess.

actually i love being kidnapped and having my brain messed with and being creepily watched all the time, clearly the best thing that's ever happened to me

hey, i don't love it either. but i get the feeling it's an improvement for some people over what they've been through.

comparatively acceptable and objectively acceptable are two very different things

okay, well, you do have a point. but still, it's worth saying.

guess so

i mean this place is a pretty huge improvement over the last shithole i was stuck in but that doesn't mean i'm about to starting singing atroma's praises

have you been here long?

uhhhh

[a pause as she does the math]

just under two months

wow, almost the same as me. time really flies, huh

honestly it kind of feels like it's been forever

not a lot happens here

well, that's changing a bit.

how so

we're on the move, right? new places, new situations

i guess

idk there wasn't anything to do on the last planet so i'm not holding my breath

what would you like to be doing?

once i figure out how to get a piano onto a spaceship i'll be set

you play? i always wished i were musical but i don't think it's meant to be. do you like performing?

depends on the audience

stage fright is a huge asshole but yeah i like it

maybe you can do a small performance when you get one, then. would a keyboard work or is it all baby grand or nothing at all?

noooo that would reek of being an attention seeker and i'm so not for that

never used a keyboard, maybe it could work? idk

i don't think it necessarily seems that way, but it's definitely your call.

and, like I said, I'm not very musical, so I don't really know how the differences would present. It'd just probably be easier to get something smaller.

probably, i'll look into it

what about you, what do you do for fun

normally i watch cute cat videos? watch movies, eat pizza... nothing really exciting, really. here, i mostly talk to people.

ohhhh you're a cute cat video person

that makes so much sense

what's that supposed to mean?

that you seem like the kind of person who would like cat videos?
