How far would you go to accomplish your greatest goal?

Pr....etty far?

[takeme2urpants]

...I am sorry. I do not know what exactly you are referring to, but--is there anything I could do?

[misswexler]

[she collects herself. thin, smooth smile] I'm just complaining. [not to mention assiduously avoiding physical contact, too close of proximity and being downwind of you. change of subject is go!] I have to ask...

[takeme2urpants]

If I am accustomed to anything by now, it is questions. I do not mind.

[misswexler]

What does - [an alien that's really not necessary she decides and also kind of rude] - do you do to take up time?

[takeme2urpants]

Hmm... baking. Cooking. Shopping online. Reading. Learning about various Earth cultures. Spending time with friends and making new ones. Various domestic activities, really, as I was denied my chance to be a homemaker in my own universe.

[misswexler]

Doesn't sound like you suffered for the displacement.

[takeme2urpants]

That seems to be dependent on a certain state of mind. I refused to suffer, you see.

[misswexler]

Congratulations. [this is just. the driest of tones. and most involuntary of camp afflictions that she would have preferred to turn down]

[takeme2urpants]

That is not to say that I haven't at all. It is only that, when this place is not actively aggravating me or being terrible, I do not mind it, really.

There is nothing to be done for you?

[misswexler]

I tried to ask somebody who knew what was going on, but - [dismissive jerking gesture of her hand]

[takeme2urpants]

I have been here for more than two years. I wonder if I would know.

[misswexler]

[nyuuuuu I don't want to talk about it

...buuuut I also don't want to go around trying to eat children....

;_;

DILEMMA]

[takeme2urpants]

Technically, I am a counselor, here. I would be glad to listen, and we needn't do this publicly.

[misswexler]

- all right.

Would you care to come to my ship? The bridge should be empty, this time of day.
