Who: natalie goodman
Broadcast: yes!
Action: on the pathstone, if you want to know why she's up at a ridiculous hour of the night
When: 5/25 during an aforementioned ridiculous hour

we're still stuck on this poison shithole and everyone hates it so let's talk about something that doesn't 100% suck for once okay?

what's the first thing you're going to do when you make it home and out of the void of space

It went well, I think?
I had a good time, anyway.
Any further details are not happening on a public network.

[robitussin]

are you going out again?

[experiencepoints]

[There's a pretty significant pause before this reply.]

The topic never came up?

[robitussin]

oh my god

do you want to??

[experiencepoints]

Look, I was distracted.
I would like to, yes?

[robitussin]

oh my god the ball was like weeks ago

call her!! do something

[experiencepoints]

If you haven't noticed I am not very good at this.
Besides, wouldn't the lack of contact from her end imply she's not interested then?

[robitussin]

maybe you both suck at this

call her

[experiencepoints]

And say what?
It's not like there's even anything to do around here, and I don't really intend on going back down to the planet anyway.
Besides, wouldn't it be weird to just suddenly say something after this long?

[robitussin]

i'm going to come to your ship and make you call her

[experiencepoints]

Are you really that determined?

[robitussin]

you're being ridiculous omg if you had fun and want to hang out again then call her

tell her you've been really busy and apologize idk

[experiencepoints]

Was there a part of 'not very good at this' that I was unclear about.

[robitussin]

call her

you will figure this out together

[experiencepoints]

Aren't you supposed to have an idea of something to do before you ask someone out on a date?
If you haven't noticed, we are sorely lacking in things to do here that aren't covered in poison.
What am I going to do, ask if she wants to go sit in the fox park for a while?

[robitussin]

aren't there restaurants on the iskaulit?? or just ask her if she wants to hang out when we get to the next planet which i'm hoping won't be poisoned

[experiencepoints]

No, it won't be poisoned.
It'll probably be made out of fire or something like that, though.
Maybe constant earthquakes?

[robitussin]

NIGHTINGALE

[experiencepoints]

I'm doing it, okay?!
Figuring out what to say is hard!

/BULLDOZES INTO THIS

[huaaaaagh]

you should definitely call her

[experiencepoints]

fuck
damn it
this is why i didn't want to do this on a public post

[huaaaaagh]

there's a real easy way to make people stop bothering you about it

[experiencepoints]

I already did it, okay, shut up.

[robitussin]

thank god somebody besides me understands

[huaaaaagh]

right?? i mean i'm pretty socially inept myself but i at least know sometimes you have to make the first move
