Cuddle meme, continued

[getsconfused]

cuddle choices:
① Sweet dreams It's been a long day and all you want to do is sleep or just rest your eyes for a bit. Hopefully whoever is close by doesn't mind if you use them as a blanket.
② Stormy weather The heavy rain, thunder and lightning won't be letting up anytime soon. Luckily, it's the perfect weather to stay indoors and snuggle up close

#5 for Daniel (hi_there_aliens)

[getsconfused]

[he's debating whether to say it or not but..]

I'm getting a sense of deja vu here. Like we've done this every single Friday.

Pretty sure we were off world last Friday night. [Jack wasn't really paying attention to Daniel's hesitance, though. He's drizzling melted butter over the popcorn in a spider web pattern to get the best distribution of butter.]

[Daniel watches Jack try his hand at food art with something like morbid fascination. Jack, you are going to die of a heart attack or something.]

I didn't mean literally. I just meant it's like we do this every time we're back on Earth.

[getsconfused]

[You try living on MREs for a while and see if you don't crave steak and eggs and butter an all things flavorful. besides, the beer will wash away all the grease.]

Offer a different suggestion next time, then.

[Why die an early death on a mission if you can do it with food, huh? There are worse ways to go. Daniel brightens]

Well, actually, the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History just got a new exhibit on building a Mayan monument. So I was thinking...

[getsconfused]

[We all gotta go sometime, right? Food's a lot more fun then being tortured by an alien or being incinerated by an event horizon or any of the other nasty ways his end could come.]

Thinking that you should call someone who cares about dusty relics and places you have to speak in a whisper?

[hi_there_aliens]

Wha- what was the point of telling me I could pick something if I can't!

Besides, what makes you think I enjoy hockey or Simpson reruns?

[getsconfused]

I said next time, Daniel, not tonight. [Like he's going to let himself get dragged to a museum on a Friday night when there's hockey on. or any other Friday night.]

Can't you think of it as some sort of anthropology demonstration of humans filling a need for teamwork by creating games or something like that? it's not normal for a guy to dislike sports.

[hi_there_aliens]

I was talking about next time. The museum's closed right now anyway.

[you aren't getting out of it that easily. Daniel puts his feet up. Might as well make himself comfortable]

It's boring. It's just guys beating each other in pads and sometimes hitting a puck around. I mean, in ancient Greece, it'd be nude and sometimes involving a martial art called Pankration. The competition could get so fierce it was to the death, such as in Arrhichion of Phigalia's case.

Or with Tlatchtli, where human sacrifice was involved.

....So you can see why this seems tame. And rigged.

[So....there, Jack. Enjoy your hockey. It's a soft sport. Yeah. He went there.]
