When: Now!

Apparently many people on the Fleet seem to be suffering from sadness. I have come up with some suitable solutions for you.

One: Crying. (This works for many)
Two: Drinking. (I'm less sure of this)
Three: Cuddling.

These usually work from what I've seen of people with . . . feelings. Hopefully you will all recover soon.

perhaps it just not an option that works for them then

I suppose. Though I've seen enough taverns to be skeptical.

taverns are a terrible place to drink one's problems away

they are smelly and loud and full of drunk idiots

Yes.

But that's where people do their sad drinking anyway.

most people. sadly there are no taverns here

Clearly a failing with the Fleet.

isn't it? i miss the shite ale the ones where i am from sell

it was shite, but it was cheap

They certainly try hard to make drinking more tasteful than it should be.

they do make it seem more tasteful dont they?

I imagine it's some desire to make the act more cultured than it actually is.

is that not wine and fancy parties are for?

Everything here seems to be wine and fancy parties at times.

i would not say everything

Enough times to be boring.

yes well fancy shite is supposed to be boring

That's not how the people here see it.

that is because the people here are strange

in a good way

probably

I suppose.

They're too soft though. And they expect everyone else to be.

[please hold, Tempest has to blink a few times and re-read that sentence to actually process that someone actually voiced an opinion she shares]

yes, they are

but they also live lives outside of here that allow them to be that way

and they let their guards down here

[ I know it's baffling. ]

Which is why it was so easy for them to get hurt.

How can anyone forget where we are and whose thumb we are under?

[her mind is blown]

it is not something i think i will ever understand

one can enjoy themselves here when there are things to enjoy and still keep their guard up

I believe it is too difficult for them to contemplate.

probably. it is not something they are used to doing

It's their self-assured destruction then.

i would not go that far

there are people like us who know better to make sure they do not destroy themselves
