Are there any traditions or customs you still observe even though we're on the ships? If so, how do you keep track of when they are?

Tell me about it. So much of my time was spent on school growing up, I never really learned how. Rodney had had a few serious relationships before me, but even then he wasn't good at picking up on signals. So we made quite a pair.

[shoujoreject]

Social cues are pretty confusing, I think. I'd like to meet him sometime, he sounds like a good sort of person, much like you.

[forsometimenow]

Well, thank you for saying so. ... Part of me wants him to show up here, too, even though I'm not sure he'd be a great contestant. I miss him a lot.

[shoujoreject]

That's natural. We miss people from home even when we didn't have the best relationships. Being stuck somewhere completely without them is rough.

[forsometimenow]

It's been a while, too- since I've seen him or ANYONE from home, actually. That's one of the many things I don't get about this place- why some people have a bunch of people from home show up and others have none.

[shoujoreject]

It's nonsense, isn't it? I guess... if it were like home, it might have had something to do with a person's popularity. Or a show's popularity, in some cases.

... Which is a really strange thought, that this is the result of some other show or shows.

[forsometimenow]

Like we're all fictional, and they culled us based on how our fanbases at home liked us?

[shoujoreject]

Yeah. ... I don't like that thought at all, really. Maybe it's different here, but if it were something like that... I guess the unfortunate ones would probably show up most.

They seem to be the most well-liked in stories.
