Vaguely. Normally, pizza isn't the kind of food people attempt to make on space ships.

[ladybro]

I can't be the first New Yorker to try, though. Maybe I should've asked around.

[precedented]

It cannot hurt to try.

[ladybro]

And if it falls short? Protein is still protein.

[precedented]

I'm sure we will continue to survive.

[ladybro]

Right? We just have to remind ourselves that things could be worse.

[precedented]

We might depress ourselves if we do it constantly, though.

[ladybro]

And that's what the bar on the Iskaulit is for.

[precedented]

I'm not sure people would approve.

[ He knows if Constantine was around, he'd harangue Leto for drinking. ]

[ladybro]

Approve of what? Letting loose? Stuff them. It's not just about the booze. It's about the R&R.

[precedented]

[ He laughs, soft as the trickle of sand. ]

Indeed. I was mostly recalling my own drinking exploits. They were heavily frowned upon.

[ladybro]

Strict parents?

[precedented]

Something like that. A . . . strange father figure, one might say. For all his irreverent drinking, he never liked me taking up the bottle.

[ladybro]

Aha. He was one of those do as I say not as I do types.

[precedented]

True, he rarely followed his own advice.

[ He pauses. ] But he tried to do well by me.

[ladybro]

I'm familiar with the archetype. [ clint could be a font of good advice -- but kate would never look to him as an example of how to live. ] Still, I don't think it means you shouldn't have a drink with an umbrella in it from time to time.

[precedented]

[ Clint would look like a functional human being compared to John Constantine though. ]

I'll drink it in his name then.

[ladybro]

[ now there's a trainwreck competition no one wants to see. ]

That's the spirit.

[precedented]

No pun intended.

[ladybro]

[ she grins. ]

Oh, the pun was very intended.

[precedented]

I can respect that.

[ladybro]

Good. That's certainly better than the opposite.

[precedented]

What would the opposite be?
