Bored.

I'm trapped against my will in the Medbay and it's so excruciatingly dull that the only thing I'm able to do right now to entertain myself is reflect on the fact that there are talking ponies on this ship that are capable of grasping objects when they're not in possession of opposable thumbs.

Someone say something that isn't tedious.

i think i'll just stick to hanging out where stacy can watch my back. that's what i usually do. she's creepy as hell but you can't beat her for keeping stabby people off your ass.

tentacle chick probably has friends somewhere. it's like everyone here does somehow no matter how much they suck?

boy having friends no matter how much you suck sounds familiar...

[on_your_nerves]

I had the misfortune of being in a blind spot in the City at the time.

[whyarewehere]

well there's your answer: don't do that shit.

stacy can't always help you but usually if she's down it's because there's something nasty trying to kill all of us and it mostly stops the infighting until we're done with that.

[on_your_nerves]

How often do nasty things try to kill everyone? I was told there weren't that many murders. It was disheartening.

[whyarewehere]

it used to be pretty common, but lately it's only been happening off the ship.

i don't know whether i feel safe yet or not. every time i did that before we got attacked by zombies or robots or something else godawful.

[on_your_nerves]

Zombies, really? Those walking dead things in badly-scripted movies?

How does their biology work? Did anyone have a chance to dissect one?

[whyarewehere]

zombie movies are awesome shut up.

and idk you'd have to ask the science guys, they actually dealt with cleaning up. i for one intend to stay far, far away from any and all zombies, alive or dead or undead, that we may encounter in the future.

i mean it's a rotting person that might try to eat your face, what more do you need to know?

[on_your_nerves]

How it works when its very existence is entirely improbable, if not impossible.

I'll have to ask them if they found out anything about them or if they maybe saved one in a freezer somewhere.

[whyarewehere]

it's obviously not impossible if it's a thing that's happening. be my guest if you want to poke at rotting things, if you catch zombie disease it'll be your own fault.

i'd say i'd be laughing but i'd probably be busy fortifying the vatican again. so.

[on_your_nerves]

Someone desecrated the Vatican to fend off the undead?

[whyarewehere]

at least three times.

only the first time i think it was giant space roaches and last time it was terminators.

but yeah. we do that.

[on_your_nerves]

What are terminators? Where have I heard that before?

[whyarewehere]

robots. you know. the governator? hasta la vista baby?

[on_your_nerves]

Movie? It sounds vaguely familiar, but I've likely deleted it.

[whyarewehere]

ding ding ding we have a winner.

what kind of movies do you like? so far you're passing on some fun ones.

[on_your_nerves]

I don't watch or read most fiction. It's a waste of my time and space on the hard drive.

[whyarewehere]

then what do you do?

[on_your_nerves]

My work, usually.

Before a disruption to my life several months ago that resulted in my going into hiding, I typically spent my time solving crimes, doing my research, and irritating my flatmate.

But that last one is more of a hobby.

[whyarewehere]

i was supposed to be shooting people, so it turns out work here's not too different from what i was supposed to be doing at home! i've been drafted twice now. this is drafting within drafting.

are you a cop that solves murders or something?

[on_your_nerves]

I'm a consulting detective. I invented the job.

[whyarewehere]

has anyone told you that you should come up with a less boring name?

[on_your_nerves]

It's accurate. I'm a detective that other detectives consult.

[whyarewehere]

accurate and boring! i mean you like your job and it's interesting, right?

you should give it a cooler name!

[on_your_nerves]

What would you suggest instead?

[whyarewehere]

uh i don't know. super sleuth. awesome mystery solving person? you're kinda putting me on the spot here, i don't do my best work under pressure!
