Today I caught myself referring to humans as "spaghetti-coded wetware." I guess that's actually a step up from "meatbags." I bet people will still take offense for some reason. Also, I'm out of coffee. This is stupid, where do I get more coffee in this place?

There's no supermarket.

Maybe I could invent a coffee machine that doesn't run out.

Spaghetti-coded wetware?

[autodidacticone]

You know...Spaghetti code?

[Crap. Normal people are talking to her. HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW THESE WORDS.]

A mess. Like. The Gorgon's knot. The only way to fix it is to scrap and start over.

[thenotmagician]

...Uhuh. That makes sense.

[autodidacticone]

Of course it does. I always make sense.

[thenotmagician]

Don't we all?

I'm Zeke. Ezekiel Lerish. Nice ta meet ya.

[autodidacticone]

I'm pretty sure 'we' don't. That's why it's 'spaghetti-code' and not structured.

...Kim Ross. Actually it's Dr. Ross, but nobody cares.

[thenotmagician]

Huh. Howdy, then, Dr. Ross. Welcome to our batshit crazy paradise.

[autodidacticone]

[Drily] How nice.

[thenotmagician]

Most of the time it is, when shit's not hitting the fan.

[autodidacticone]

It's boring.

[thenotmagician]

And you've been here like, what, a week now? Shit'll happen eventually, just you wait.

[autodidacticone]

Look. Zeke. I'm an inventor. I don't sleep more than an hour for every twenty and I spend every waking moment doing... science.

I am in tropical hell.

[thenotmagician]

Then do your... "science" thing on the boat somewhere. S'not hard.

[autodidacticone]

I don't have a lot of supplies. Also, the bear might steal my ideas, like they always do.

[Also people might TALK TO HER OH GOD.]

[thenotmagician]

I'm pretty sure there's plenty of crap to use on deck twelve.

...Bear? Y'don't mean the sushi bears, right?

[autodidacticone]

Yes. The...'Sushi Bears.'

Bipedal sentient bears are tricky and clever, and I don't trust them.
