Hi, this is Bob. Leave a message if you want to.

All right.

If you need anything before the 15th, John can help you.

And if you need anything you don't want to track down a warden for, let me know and I will see what I can do.

From:

makingitworse

[And she didn't even question him, thank god for that.]

im okay really

i got to be free of the warden magic thing for a whole half the flood

From:

musicdied

[Don't be relieved just yet, Bob.]

You weren't stuck to Archer after you were unlinked with Ulla?

Did you talk to him at all?

[It isn't even suspicion, at this point - just the fact that the only person she knows was unaffected was also paired with someone who was in a coma, and it's not unheard of for someone to disappear on the heels of a coma.]

From:

makingitworse

[Okay now she's asking, but she might not ask how he feels about it?]

no

never even saw him

From:

musicdied

This fucking ship.

Are you sure you don't need anything?

From:

makingitworse

what would i need?

food is free i have a spare set of clothes and i found out i have a job to clean things

it keeps me busy

From:

musicdied

Mace. A mace. Something for your cabin, maybe. The Admiral has a shitty sense of humour with those sometimes.

I was assigned to Custodial when I got here, too. It's a good way to get familiar with the ship.

From:

makingitworse

[The mace comment almost makes him smile, but then the cabin comment kills it. Yeah, his cabin is awful, but. Would any one little thing fix it? He doubts it.

There's a pause before he responds.]

i have an alarm if i run into trouble but a mace would be really funny even if i probably couldnt even lift it

and i dont mind cleaning things really

From:

musicdied

They aren't as heavy as you might expect them to be. I almost concussed myself with one once, overcompensating for how heavy I thought it should be.

You can switch jobs, if you ever change your mind. The mystery stains can get a little disturbing after a while.

From:

makingitworse

homeless junkie remember? there are probably no stains i have never seen before

but ill remeber that if i get tired of it :)

From:

musicdied

Semi-sentient magical spaceship that hops between realities, remember? Sometimes the mystery gunk has eyes. ;)

Remind me to show you the video of the evil living marshmallows some time.

From:

makingitworse

oh wow okay i want to see a living marshmallow

you took a video?

From:

musicdied

I took a few. Didn't get any of the arson attempt, though.

[Mostly because she's not enough of a phone zombie to film an arson attempt instead of trying to stop it.]

From:

makingitworse

what arson attempt?

[Did she try to toast a living marshmallow?]

From:

musicdied

I did say they were evil marshmallows.

They kept trying to break things. Or burn things.

From:

makingitworse

oh so they were like the marshmallow ghost in ghostbusters

except smaller I hope

From:

musicdied

Exactly like that. But tiny. About the size of those jumbo marshmallows for making s'mores.

From:

makingitworse

how did that even happen

is that another flood thing?

From:

musicdied

No, they were drawn to one of the people on the ship. Like little demonic moths.

They did disintegrate after a while.

From:

makingitworse

that's so weird

i definitely want to see that

not the disintegrating but the marshmallows themselves

From:

musicdied

Mila has a playdate, but I can meet you in the dining hall for dinner after, and show you then.

I don't think they're serving s'mores, so it shouldn't be too existentially horrifying.

From:

makingitworse

[Dog!]

is mila allowed in the dining hall too?

From:

musicdied

No.

I don't think anyone has a service dog on the Barge right now, either, so if you see an animal in there, there's a good chance it's actually a person.

But you can come with me when I take Mila for her evening walk, if you want.
