[the_informant]

I have to ask what you are planning to cook.

[shipitsupersonic]

Do you like rice?

[protective_logic]

How went the cooking?

[shipitsupersonic]

Your instructions were much better than cookbook instructions. I think he was impressed. Thank you.

[protective_logic]

That alcoholic beverage you mentioned the other day... what was it?

[shipitsupersonic]

The zombie? Rum, more rum, and fruit juice. 🍹

[protective_logic]

I'm sorry, but I think I have to back out of our plans.

[shipitsupersonic]

Is everything okay?

[protective_logic]

Can you maybe work Wednesday as a regular thing?

[shipitsupersonic]

Sure. Though you probably should cut back. Or build up your tolerance.

[protective_logic]

I got a queeeeestion.

[shipitsupersonic]

I'll try to answer it.

[the_informant]

So, TC, how goes the cooking adventures?

[shipitsupersonic]

I have mastered Spanish rice, chicken and dumplings, and those cinnamon rolls that come in a can.

I also got a job, if you ever need cheap plane tickets.

[protective_logic]

He works fast, and it seems like you aren't that great. Gangster? I mean...

Fuck just once I want to meet a normal person who doesn't KILL people.

[shipitsupersonic]

I only killed in self-defense. Or to defend someone else. Sometimes it gets a little abstract. But I was a soldier, not a mercenary. And I don't do that any more.

[protective_logic]

I... had something awkward to say...

[shipitsupersonic]

Are you're about to apologize for fucking my brother because you think he's my boyfriend? Because that's the most awkward thing I've heard that doesn't require ten minutes of backstory.

[skyward_eyes]

See, good on my word, even if it's late. Didn't wash your contact info this time. Surprise.

[shipitsupersonic]

Nida? ✈

[protective_logic]

So it's just about finals time for my younger siblings and thus I'm losing my new 'don't think about your ex-boyfriend' lunch with my younger brother, AND my therapist is sick so I've got a strangely free afternoon Tuesday. If you're not working, we can do veggie burgers and shakes.

[shipitsupersonic]

Uh, sure. What kind of shakes? Mudslides? Also I seem to rememeber I owe you lunch.

[protective_logic]

I am so sorry, I have to cancel today. Something happened at Theta's school. Raincheck.

[shipitsupersonic]

Is he okay?

[protective_logic]

Really sorry about cancelling yesterday. Apparently some kids thought it would be a lot of fun and a good idea to attack my younger brother during lunch. His hearing aids are ruined. We spent so long yelling at the parents and administration at school yesterday that it was, really, the only thing we could ever do. Even when I got home the rest of the day was about comforting the kid.

And now I'm still tired and worn out because of too long at work and I have to cook dinner. Think people will forgive me for ordering a pizza or three?

[shipitsupersonic]

Oh wow, poor kid. Is he okay until he gets new ones? I hope you got those kids expelled. They're a danger to everyone else there.

Who doesn't like pizza?

[protective_logic]

If you had to find a way to distract a guy without giving him alcohol, what would it be?

[shipitsupersonic]

I don't know that I've ever tried, except with oxy...you could show him the A-Team?

[the_informant]

How goes it?

[shipitsupersonic]

I've learned how to make gnocchi.

[protective_logic]

I'm sorry, I think I'm going to have to cancel on our next movie.

[shipitsupersonic]

What happened?

[protective_logic]

What is even the point of love? It just gets you hurt. It's a totally bullshit thing, right?

[shipitsupersonic]

I don't know. I haven't tried it enough. Why?

[protective_logic]

Can I ask for some help?

[shipitsupersonic]

What do you need?

[skyward_eyes]

So apparently my bosses have a rule about everyone getting time off at the weird winter holiday coming up people call Crismas or something, and somehow my stars aligned and I've actually got two days in a row where I'm working neither job.

Wonder if maybe you're going to have a flight I can keep you company on in that window. Might entertain. Promise not to bother you too much about learning flight controls.

[shipitsupersonic]

I have those same days off too.

We could get Chinese and watch terrible movies?

[protective_logic]

He got me a clownfish.

[shipitsupersonic]

Okay...at least it's not a remora?

[the_informant]

Is it sad that I'm feeling a little cold in my bed without my fellow spoon?

[shipitsupersonic]

Sidewinder is no paradise, either.

[ambitious_muse]

Hi, TC?

I'm doing a favor for a friend of mine. I understand you can deliver?

[shipitsupersonic]

Do I know you?

[protective_logic]

So... when are you free for a night?

[shipitsupersonic]

Any night but Monday or Thursday this week.

[protective_logic]

Do you think there are help groups along the line of AA for people who attempt to 'help' people have better relationships and just blow the thing entirely? Because I think I could use someone to remind me that I cannot affect the way people interact with each other.

[shipitsupersonic]

A...A?

What's going on?

[skyward_eyes]

Reporting in, Sir. The birth order is Omega, Delta, Epsilon, Sigma, Gamma, Theta, Iota and Eta.

Asked Theta.

[shipitsupersonic]

Eight kids? Have their parents never heard of birth control? Clearly they didn't want close to ten.

Wait. Are they all boys? Maybe they really wanted a girl.
