Hey so

I've been screwing around with the network connecting the communications devices a little. I know there's no Spotify here, no internet, not a lot of music, which sucks. My MP3 player came here with me, so I figured maybe some people might like to have at least a few options. It might not necessarily be to everyone's taste, but it's better than nothing (probably).

I've uploaded the contents to the database, you should be able to access it or send/receive songs at any time.

Turns out they already had some music on there too, so you can poke around theirs and see if you find something you like more. I haven't gotten to go through it all, but at least some of it looks like 21st century Earth stuff.

Sidenote: you're welcome to criticize the contents of my MP3 player, just know that I've never felt shame in my life & I can and will sing all of these karaoke style to your face. IDK if you really want to live through that experience.

[He appreciates that Ian is trying, but it's not even a little difficult to tell how uncomfortable he seems with all of this. And while Lance would typically like to push a little, he doesn't necessarily think that'll help; he's made the point, and it's up to Ian to decide what--if anything--to do.

Besides, Ian had given him time to think about things, so the least he can do is extend the same courtesy. But he does still decide to add a last remark on the topic, giving a small shrug as he reaches for his drink again.]


Maybe you are. But maybe it doesn't matter if you're predictable, because life isn't.

[He's learned this the hard way, over and over. But that said, surely Ian will have at least a little time to think about this before something happens, right?]

[ he'd give her shit for that snarky reply if she wasn't talking about doing something nice for him. ]

And I'll be passing judgement on those decisions regardless when they involve me.

There might be some worth in looking through the archives, though.

That's okay, I'm sure the faithful have enough to get their heads around, what with the whole hatching in outer space situation.

[Well, he insisted he's not the boss of her! It's not her fault if she takes him up on that.]

What else do you want me to do with my free time? Roll up into that ratty hammock at night and turn into a slug the moment it gets dark?

I'd rather do something useful. So, if I find anything interesting, I'll send it to you. Is that acceptable?

A little bit. I suppose hostile omnicidal aliens can come in several types. You call yours... judges?

The fortunate thing with Prodryans is that they're incapable of uniting. Less than a quarter of them are ever actively engaging in hostilities with us at once. The unfortunate thing is that that's enough to hold its own against the entire Krakau Alliance, even with our superior technology and human soldiers. They breed to fill their environments so that a single pair in a new colony can have a hundred offspring in a year, and it only takes three short generations for a few thousand to become a billion.

[Lance nods, listening, and although he isn't too sure of where Ian's going with this--though since Ian isn't sure himself, that's probably to be expected--he is glad that he's continuing to talk about his world.

But it's not just about his world, it's about Nate, and what Nate thinks of him. So although the answer is pretty apparent, Lance's next question is more to encourage Ian to continue than anything else.]


Does that bother you, that he seems to think that?

[He's taking in the information and laying out a little mental timeline, as this is all good to know and fills in a lot about Ian's situation, but he's not too impressed with the conclusion of it all. He considers calling Ian out directly on how no one ever says they're 'fine' if they're actually fine, but he decides to be less direct.

So instead, as he reaches for his drink again, he offers gently--]


Knowing how to deal with something doesn't necessarily make it any easier to do so.

[Just because he can live like this doesn't mean it's good for him, just like it's not good for Lance, or for Nate, or any number of other people here. Experience, especially when that experience is traumatic, doesn't make it suddenly okay to be going through something similar again.

But he has the feeling Ian is not really open to being pushed on this any further, considering how firm that doubling down was, so he follows up with a lighter comment in case Ian wants to let the conversation shift.]


Except for the terrible food. You do get kind of immune to that after awhile.

I like too many things to name a planet after them. No other planet names have anything so personal. When you think about it, the elements are rather universal.

I absolutely, humbly agree! [He is taking it as a compliment, it's fine.]

Soooo. Are you, uh, going to add it to your playlist? I also have more.

[She is going to download so much music, thank you sir. Anyways, he grabs her attention with that comment. How could he not, considering the situation right now?]

What? Time travel? You mean that's happened to you more than once?

How?

Why is your luck so terrible?

My opinion clearly won't change your mind.

If the hammock is bothering you, I can unzip a space for you somewhere.


[ that's not answering the question ]

[Oh my god.]

It won't change my mind because I haven't done anything wrong.

[Meet her in the pit, Bruno. As for his offer...she actually likes being able to abscond when she wants...would she even be able to do it in zipper space?]

The hammock is not the issue.

[The turn to lighter conversation is fine with him, both because they've each been a lot more honest than usual and that's exhausting, and because it's a process. A little bit of progress is enough, and pushing harder right now won't do any good.

He's glad to see Ian's posture relax just a little, and so does his own as he shifts out of his intensely engaged countenance and into his more casual one.]


Ephemera brought me eggrolls like my first day in the safehouse, and after Hadriel that blew my mind too. I'm pretty sure he thought I hadn't eaten in a week.

[He's only slightly exaggerating, but wow had that been good food even without real meat in it.]
