Who: Everyone
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Iskaulit
When:

[So we've been stuck on the poison moon for a couple months now, so a lot of people probably want to get away from that.

Unfortunately, the only place you really can get away from it besides your own ship is the Iskaulit. So, here's a June Iskaulit mingle!]

Ought I to forget 'twas you who brought the notion up?

Well, technically I did get the idea from you. But hey, if the god of tricks wants to share credit with a high-schooler...

And have someone else blamed?

There is some appeal in sharing the blame. I think it's harder to be mad at two people than at one.

[It's cute that you think he'd willingly be taking on any blame.] I couldn't possibly take credit for such an idea. I've some honor, you know.

[You can't fault him for trying, right?]

I wonder if anyone would buy it, me being able to make a biting book.

If you play your cards right, no one would think it possible.

Hmm... nobody takes the credit or the blame, then?

[That's the ideal scenario, admittedly. Let it be a mystery! He likes to be an unknown.]

Even better. It is a vagary of chance, the nasty joke of the universe itself. See how they run.

I like this terrible plan. A+.

[please do not let them become friends through the creation of monster books]

Now, the next question--which book would it be funniest, should it grow an aggressive personality?

[...well, this might be it. Whoops.]

In theory, probably a kid's book, but in actual practice, that would be mean. I don't wanna get a kid hurt.

[There aren't many in the fleet, but he knows they exist.]

Hmm... you think there are any books about learning combat? That'd be kind of ironic. Like a literal training manual.

Mmm, true. I rather like children. [And no one else.]

Oho. If there is not such a book, 'twould be easy enough to invent.

"Chomping at the Bit: The Warrior's Guide to Taking a Bite out of Your Weaknesses".

[Okay, so it's a bit long, but he digs the puns too much to care.]

[Amused.] Incisive strategies within, based upon molar observation of the elements.

By the time you finish this book, you too will know how to fight tooth and nail for your survival.

[This is ridiculous. He is highly amused.]

An aggressive page turner indeed.

I think we've got ourselves a project.

[God, the world must be ending if he's vaguely bonding with Loki over something.

He finally finishes exploring the parkour route, hopping down off one of the barriers near the end.]

Speaking of, though, I'd better get back to my own stuff. See you on the Paisley later?

[Being stuck in an enclosed space with someone can do weird things to a guy. Though the dry humor returns a bit when he says:] I doubt either of us have a choice in the matter.
