Sooooo.

Here's a bit of an awkward question:

How many of you guys have someone you don't exactly like holed up in one of those pods? And I don't just mean like "wow that guy's a dick" I'm talking more along the lines of "this guy is a GIANT dick and he will definitely try to kill us [ read: him ] when he wakes up."

Is there any way to...I don't know, pull the plug out of the pods? or something? Do you think we'd get in trouble for that?

[ A little casual accidentally-on-purpose murder never hurt anyone right? Like especially when it's for the greater good, which this totally is. ]

So what, we just have to wait for them to wake up??

[laveers]

Aye, that is our only choice for now.

[rhygret]

wait wait



Did you really just type "aye"??

[laveers]

I did.

[ She has a speech to text converter, what's wrong with it!! ]

[rhygret]

[ He's thinking pirates, as in aye-aye captain!! and grinning a little. It sounds great in his head. ]

But like unironically?

[laveers]

[ what the fuck does that even mean. She switches to audio. Coldly, ]

You mislike the way I speak?

[rhygret]

[ Whoops--Rhys backpedals a little because that is definitely an accent there. ]

No no, nothing like that. It's just that most people don't actually type out their accent. I guess?

[laveers]

It writes what I tell it to.

[rhygret]

Ohh you're dictating.

That uh. That makes a lot of sense, huh. Sorry?

[laveers]

[ Might as well keep to audio anyway, ]

What did you think it meant?

[rhygret]

I thought it was some sort of stylistic gimmick. You know, "aye aye matey". Like a pirate?

Or that maybe you were making fun of me. Mostly the first.

[laveers]

I am no mere pirate, and I may mock you yet.

[ Though this seems to have mollified her somewhat, there's no venom in the statement. ]

[rhygret]

[ Which makes it...banter? Maybe? Rhys can deal with banter. And a healthy amount of sarcasm. ]

Oh well that's always good to know. Captain Blackwing's not a bad name as far as pirate names go though.

[laveers]

My name is Asha Greyjoy. The Black Wind is my ship.

[rhygret]

Well see! You're already halfway there with that. That's actually...really cool, wow. Is it an actual ship-ship or a space cruiser or something?

[laveers]

It is a longship.

[ spaceships aren't real ships!!! ]

[rhygret]

Okay yeah long is a good start, but what kind.

[ Rhys: knows nothing about ships that aren't made of metal, and even then he also knows nothing. ]

[laveers]

How much do you know about ships?

[rhygret]

I know plenty okay? There's space cruisers and rocket ships and moonshots...

Wait are those ships? I feel like they're maybe just containers.

[laveers]

[ She scoffs. ]

Those are not ships.

[ asha greyjoy: the original hipster ]

Have you ever sailed?

[rhygret]

[ Medieval hipsters..... Rhys has really seen it all now ]

They totally are? What time period are you from??

And for the record...no. I have not sailed on a boat that goes on water. So??

[laveers]

I'm told it's "medieval". [ whatever the fuck that means???? ] Show me one, and how it sails.

[rhygret]

Oh. Wow, okay. That's REALLY far back holy crap. You're really not having trouble with these communicators? That's pretty impressive.

[laveers]

No. [ Plainly, easily. Whatever difficulty she did have she's not willing to share. It's too close to weakness. ] Tell me of these spaceships.

[rhygret]

Well...they're ships. In space? Only not open like a boat. See they need to be closed or you'll freeze over and die pretty fast out in space on account of the whole "no atmosphere" thing.

...You know what that is, right?
