text.

If anyone - for whatever reason - wants some novelty fridge magnets, there is a sponsor crate of them on the Heron. You can take as many as you want, though there isn't that much variety.

I will note at the outset that no, there are no alphabet pieces.

[Along with this rather brief message is attached a photo of the crate's contents. Half the magnets seem to be little cartoon planets. The other half are... well... magnets.]

action.

[Anyone inclined to visit the Heron to take up this exciting offer - or just to visit - will find Erik leaning against the crate in the cargo hold. He has a number of the magnets suspended in the air above one hand, and every few minutes he flicks his fingers, sending one flying into the hull wall.

The crate itself is emblazoned with the message "To the most ATTRACTIVE guy on the Fleet! - Magnecessities". Maybe that's part of why he looks faintly irritated.

Flick goes another magnet.]

hearting you also makes a lot more sense than less than threeing you i don't even know what the fuck that would mean is it a math thing i'm bad with numbers did i accidentally discover like a cool friendship math thing and not realize it

[grandstanding]

I don't know, Wrath. Less than three would only mean one or two. Unless you rank your friends by number, it wouldn't have a meaning.

[pain_train]

i mean i guess i could rank my friends if i needed to but we'd have to do some serious skills testing and then it would all depend on what the most important was so i'd need to know that first and it seems kind of mean too so anyway see less than three doesn't make sense but hearting someone does so there you go!

[grandstanding]

'Hearting' is not a real term, you realise.

[pain_train]

maybe it isn't in your century but less than threeing someone isn't either right and we can totally make up words whenever that's what is great about language because obviously there needs to be a word like hearting

[grandstanding]

If it's just the heart aspect you're interested in, there's an actual symbol you can use.

[pain_train]

you mean this one ❤

<3 is just easier to do and it totally looks like a heart too

[grandstanding]

Yes, that one. [At least he didn't need to insert it into a comment himself.]

[pain_train]

if you wanna use that one you gotta put in a code or pick it out of a menu but i can tell you the code if you want

[grandstanding]

I know how to make the heart symbol, thank you.

[pain_train]

then how come you don't ever use it?

[grandstanding]

I have no reason to.

[pain_train]

i bet you heart charles :P <- that is me sticking my tongue out at you btw

[grandstanding]

Now that you've used another one of those things, this conversation is over.

[pain_train]

oh my god you're so rude [She's laughing. He has to know she's laughing.]
