And otherwise it's just those... block things?

[She had been about to eat the pudding as quickly as she could, but now she'll just. Take it slow. Make it last, because those gel things are Not Great.]

I don't suppose you happen to hoard these, just in case?

Afraid not, we hardly get enough to hoard them. Luckily, we usually get someone more palatable on the planets and Waystations we come across. We're near one with lots of meat, currently.

I had been wondering if embarking on other planets was something that happened often. The ships are so small, it's difficult to imagine a full month cooped up on one.

That depends on the company, I reckon.

But still, we have plenty of stopping-off points, so it's not all that bad.

Would you consider the company on this ship to be good or bad?

On this ship? Everyone is pretty tolerable, to be honest. I'm fairly certain none of us are psychopaths. Take that as you will.

Is there... Is there any way to take that that isn't positively? I shouldn't think anyone would want to be stuck on a ship filled with insane people.

Some people might be really bored. Or have certain kinks. That can happen.

Certain- [Please be kidding.] You don't really think it has anything to do with that, do you?

I wouldn't be surprised. Last place I was in? Maybe people kiss for a week, every year.

Why? What could the point to that possibly be?

Because the castle fed on emotions. Nothing gets those flowing like sudden forced romance.

[Gross.]

I know this place works on... ratings, [She says this like the idea of ratings is incredibly foreign, because it is. What even is television.] but does that... surely we aren't keeping whoever we're entertaining alive. That can't be true, can it?

None of this makes any sense.

I don't know, maybe, maybe not. I doubt we'll ever get the answers we actually want. I was in Paradisa for five years and I still only understand probably half of what was actually going on.

This is one of those sit back and enjoy the ride, hope you don't get maimed sort of adventures.
