Like arts and crafts? Gluing pompoms onto things and adding glitter?

[nostraightlines]

Oh, I remember that kinda thing from when I was a kid. Glitter gets everywhere.

[takingkarabusiness]

It really does. I don't intend to introduce it to the atmosphere on the ships, but some hot glue and glass beads won't hurt anything.

[nostraightlines]

It might be fun to decorate your place. The ships are sort of... sterile.

[takingkarabusiness]

Exactly. They could use some sprucing up. Maybe if I had some string and colorful paper I could make decorations.

[nostraightlines]

I bet we could find that much. A glue gun, maybe not.

[takingkarabusiness]

I'd settle for a clear epoxy.

[nostraightlines]

That's a kind of glue, right? It can't hurt to ask. Pick your colors and hopefully we'll find it -- if not i bet the engineers have something you could use.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's what I was thinking.

Does go need a board?

[ he watches her picking colors, wondering what she's planning to make. ]

It does but we can just use a piece of paper with the grid drawn on it. We should start small anyway, for you to learn on... nine by nine instead of nineteen.

[takingkarabusiness]

That seems more than fair. Sometimes it's better not to take on too much too fast.

[nostraightlines]

If you catch on at nine you'll be up to nineteen fast.

We can play a lot of different games with these, though.

[takingkarabusiness]

Like checkers.

[nostraightlines]

Like checkers. And chinese checkers and backgammon and mancala...

...

I like board games.

[takingkarabusiness]

Good! Because there's a lot of time to kill.

[nostraightlines]

We could start a game night. Work our way through the collection on my ship.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would really like that, as long as we're not playing team charades.

[nostraightlines]

...Is there a story behind this?

[takingkarabusiness]

Last time we played, James and Lucy kicked Winn and my butts and it was awkward all around.

[nostraightlines]

I've never actually played it... it was always just me and Cole, so not much point.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's less fun without the pop culture references, anyway.

[nostraightlines]

I know........ yeah I know no pop culture. Sorry.

[takingkarabusiness]

Don't apologize to me. I'm not great with them either.

[nostraightlines]

I've got some of it jammed in my head now, more than before at least. But I still wasn't paying much attention.

[takingkarabusiness]

And now you have everyone else's pop culture to keep up with, too.
