Gooood morning, outer space! I'm pleased to announce that I've just taken over your fleet. You can call me Your Majesty, or Supreme Overlord, or Beyoncé. One of the three. Mom jeans and aerobic dance are officially outlawed, and nothing is allowed to start before noon.

Kay, thanks. Beyoncé out.

Ha, yeah we have room! Even a couple cooks!

Though I'd imagine the Paisley will want you back.

[delincuente]

Glad to hear you're not starving.

[Oh, thank god though, she was terrified she'd have to actually stick it out on Davesprite's old ship. How depressing.]

... How long has it been?

[save_the_souls]

Mm! We went a long time without a cook, it was terrible.

[THE WORST.]

Ah....maybe about six months?

[delincuente]

[That's... worse than she'd like, but not as bad as she was thinking.]

So why do you sound like it's been about a decade?

[save_the_souls]

[He could give her the actual answer, or like she would do, just a weird vague answer.

....Yeah guess what he's going to go with]

Well, it has been an eventful six months.

[delincuente]

Dude.

[Half laughter, half frustration.]

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs a little]

I'll explain, I promise!

But I want to come see you!

[delincuente]

Then get on over to the Wonderduck, you nerd.

[save_the_souls]

Nuh uh! You're the nerd!

Okay! I'll go pick up Clay and come on over. [SINCE CLAY WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO COME]

[delincuente]

You have ten minutes before I drag you here myself.

Video -> Action???

[save_the_souls]

I'm coming, I'm coming! Don't worry!

[And he's on the way to pick up the boyfriendo and head her way!!]

Action!!!

[geonomy]

[And sure enough, boyfriendo is there with him! Since Allen's the one driving, Clay's the first one out of the shuttle, as he got out as soon as the shuttle touched ground. Before even looking for Alex, Clay cups his hands over his mouth and:]

ALEX!!!

[did you miss his loud voice]

[delincuente]

CLAY!!!

[Alex jumps at him from behind, already prepared and in wait, ready to throw her arms around his shoulders and stay there as long as he'll let her.]

[save_the_souls]

ALEX!!

[Allen's comes out of the shuttle last, being the one driving it and needing to shut it down. So a moment after she throws her arms around Clay, he steps out of the shuttle and throws his arms around her. GROUP HUG TIME EVERYBODY.]

[geonomy]

[Now that's not fair! He can't hug her back if she's got him from behind, especially when Allen comes along to join in!

So after he grips her arms and lets out a loud, joyous laugh, he turns in her grip to throw his arms around not only her, but Allen as well, then easily lifts them both up, though he won't go for spin this time. Would probably be awkward with them like this]

[delincuente]

AL-oof!

[Clay's impressive lift catches her off guard, and her greeting dissolves into surprised laughter as she feels her feet leave the metal floor.]

Oh my god, have you been benchpressing the shuttle?

[save_the_souls]

[Allen is used to being lifted up by Clay's hugs, so he just snickers at her remark]

I think he has!

[delincuente]

And you've- [She pulls an arm out just enough to reach up and touch Allen's hair.] Dude, did you age?!

[geonomy]

Well, I've gotta keep up with my training somehow!

[He gives an extra squeeze before he lets them both down, and at that question, he grips Allen's shoulders to give him a good-natured shake.]

He sure did! Look, he's even taller now!

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs a little and flicks his hair]

18 now, soon to be 19!

[delincuente]

Man, I go off and age for a year and a half, and you still look older than me.

[But more importantly - he's now taller, and she's not sure she likes that.]

[save_the_souls]

Ha-

It's because of an upgrade. You can purchase them to let you age some. So every month I've aged about a year.

[geonomy]

Yup! [He puts an arm around Allen's shoulders and holds the other hand out, as if showing him something grand] Every month, it's a new age.

[... Which gets him to laugh a little to himself. Heh. Inside joke.]

[delincuente]

Dude. [She looks outraged and amazed, pulling back to take in the whole deal.] I need to get my hands on that, like, yesterday.

[save_the_souls]

[He laughs and nudges Clay very lightly with his elbow. Yep he knows how much you love it]

You should be able to! I mean, if you have money.

How old are you supposed to be now? [Since the timelines are so fucked now]
