Who: Everyone messed up by the dragon plot, and visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Blue Fish's clinic!
When: All throughout the Solrius dragon plot and through the space flight to the next destination.

[So several RPG characters, a dragon, and two messianic figures walk into a planet.

Everything is suffering and tears, there's a lot of dead people, there's no punchline. But, hey, for the survivors, the Blue Fish's clinic is treating wounds and generally being a decent place to rest and recover and pray you don't see a dragon again. And for those who weren't involved, there's enough people bedridden here that there may just be someone you want to visit.]

You could just bring up the time he asked me to heal a hickey like a week after Obsidian arrived.

He would just bring up the time he saw us making out on the piano.

That piano really needed some pillows or something.

[guess who may have forgotten they have an audience already]

[same tbh]

If we ever go to a planet that sells pianos... I'm on it.

This is why you're the best.

... But do any of these ships have room for a piano?

I will make room.

... Wonder if we can soundproof a room on the ships for it, too, otherwise the whole ship will hear it.

There's probably an upgrade for that? Although - oh, fuck, the audience.

I'm pretty sure there is no audience and the Atroma are fucking with us.

[unless you meant our current audience.]

You ready to risk it?

Risk talking about the evil Echoes? No. Risk making out? Hell yes.

I wasn't really talking about making out.

Then what were you-

[... aaaaand now she's red.]

Oh. Oh. Yes.

Yeah. Understand the concern?

Well, yeah.

But I already shower here anyway, so the ship has already sailed on preserving any modesty I have to this hypothetical audience. Might as well have fun, too.

...Totally didn't think about it that way. Fair point.

Yeah. I don't believe in the audience, because if I did, I would never leave my room for anything ever again.

I mean. Maybe they employ a tasteful fade to black?

I am not ready to believe they do anything tastefully.

Yeah, that's fair. Maybe they...

[pauses]

Actually, I don't really want to think about this.

I was wondering why you were, to be honest.

It's probably worth thinking about for like .5 seconds.

Is it really?

Yes. But only those .5.

That sounds about a second too long for me.
