I guess that answers any questions about whether or not I wanted to be an extra in Master and Commander. [Although, really.] That said, it definitely could have been worse. I mean, can you imagine if we ever got stuck somewhere like that, permanently? I'd take running water and modern medicine over pirates any day, I don't care how cool Jack Sparrow makes it look.

[Private to Alex]

Bummer about not finding any treasure.

[Private to Racetrack]

Hey. [... now what to say :|] I know this is weird, but. You do get kind of used to breaches.

[And Public, after he's realized SOMEONE hasn't seen Star Wars]

Alright, so, who here hasn't seen Star Wars? Kinda sounds like we need to have some kind of group movie night when people are taking a break from being all obsessive about port.

[Private to Bond]

I'm making Alex watch Star Wars. You should come. I promise I won't make you watch any of the prequels.

[breathoflight]

What's Star Wars?

[myresponsibility]

It's- [Going to be a little hard to explain to someone from way back in the day, huh. :|a] A movie about a bunch of people trying to overthrow an evil empire. The hero finds out he's got the potential to be a part of this ancient order of like, knights, kind of, to help overthrow the empire, and he teams up with a smuggler and a princess and some other characters and they have adventures. There are six movies, but the first three are really the only ones worth watching.

[breathoflight]

That sounds like a wonderful story.

[She actually can understand the plot!!! It's just...]

But what exactly is a movie...?

[myresponsibility]

It's like... do they have plays where you're from?

[breathoflight]

We do. [A beat.] Though I've...never...actually seen one myself.

[This is what happens when you spend ~10 years of your life behind bars.]

[myresponsibility]

[... That complicates things, yes.]

Well, it's sort of like that, except it's recorded like the video function on the comms, here. You'll like it, it's cool.

[breathoflight]

I should like to see it then.

[myresponsibility]

I'll let you know when we're doing it. How've you been?

[breathoflight]

As well as can be expected. I trust you have been well?

[myresponsibility]

More or less. I still kind of can't get over how weird breaches are.

[breathoflight]

[She laughs a little.]

Honestly, I'm still trying to work out the idea of ports.

[myresponsibility]

Me too. I bet I could make a fortune if I actually cracked the physics of how this place works.

[breathoflight]

You don't strike me as the type.

[myresponsibility]

The make lots of money type or the secretly awesome at physics type? Because I hate to break it to you, but I'm not so secretly awesome at physics.

[breathoflight]

[With laughter:] How unfortunate. I don't know if I will ever look at you the same way again.

[myresponsibility]

In a good way or bad way?

[breathoflight]

That's for you to find out.

[myresponsibility]

Well, I guess I have to watch what I say.

[breathoflight]

Because that's never ended poorly for anyone before.

[threadjack]

[itstopped]

[Oh, gods -- he'd been about to write this off because, well, full of people he hates, but that sounds hilarious to him right now.] Does it work?

[threadjack]

[myresponsibility]

Do you care about spoilers?

[threadjack]

[itstopped]

Indulge me. Uh, anyone who doesn't want to know the ending, better switch off now.

[Private]

[myresponsibility]

They do. It's pretty cool, you should come watch.

[Private]

[itstopped]

It sounds great, really. I'll think about it.

[Private]

[myresponsibility]

Awesome. I'll let you know when we've actually got a time figured out.
