Um. Hi! Sorry to send this to everyone... Well, I had a question I wanted to pose to everyone but then another thing came up and...

Does anyone know how to reattach a door to a washing machine? I had a little mishap... and I still have a lot of laundry to get done. Anyway, it'd be awful if I didn't at least ask how to put it back the way it was.

The second thing is completely unrelated. Does anyone else feel really weird about wanting friends or family to show up? I don't think I'd wish this experience on anyone against their will, but as long as we're going to be here... it'd be nice to have familiar faces, don't you think? How do you deal with the conflict?

And is there any way to request they bring crullers with them?

I don't have many. Though if you come by sometime I can cook for you. We've still got a ton of actual meat in the fridge that needs eating and I'm not bad with it.

I mean, I'm not sure that's really the barter I was offering, but I will absolutely take you up on it. I could really use some real meat.

I've got a couple crewmates that hunt, I was thinking of joining them the next time we hit a planet it's possible.

Really? I feel like that would be hard for me.

I grew up doing it to live, it's a easier for me. I can still share with you.

Even though I'm a wuss? Thanks.

You're not used to it, that's all. If you had to hunt I'm sure you'd be fine with it.

I'd feel really, really bad about it.

Even if that's all there was to eat?

Well... no. I mean, I'd want to survive. I eat meat; I'm not a vegetarian. Earth food is way too good for that. But I'd feel guilty, is all.

I get that.

It's messy anyway. Appreciate your butcher.

I will, for sure, the next time I get real meat.

That'd be 'whenever you want it.' Just come by.

Have I told you lately you're one of my favorite people here? Because it's true.

You haven't, actually, but I accept the honor.

There are a lot of nice people here. I feel like the nice to asshole ratio is just better in places that aren't my world.

Unfortunately that's probably true for many worlds.

You're probably right. But we travel between them here, so I'll keep track.
