What waits for you, back where you came from?

You can be as specific or nonspecific as you like, really. A person, a place, a thing, a concept, a task. A belief. A dream.

Nothing.

I'm just curious, I guess.

Also, for those who don't wish to give out even vaguely personal information to unknown strangers in an unknown place: how many of you are from pre-spaceflight planets?

[ouzel]

Whereas I've never heard of Earth before today.

[genice]

Which makes it equally likely I've never heard of your own home... world.

We all come from homeworlds now. I keep being surprised at how science fiction my life's gotten over the last week and some.

[yotsubas]

That would be nice. I'd love to see what beaches look like in other planets.

[ it's more of a curiosity thing, really! maybe the water is made of acid. who knows!! ]

[ouzel]

Too many variables. The people who act, the people who don't, and the people who are affected.

[ouzel]

I am. People seem interested in that detail.

[andreios]

Well, many of them look like humans now. But when they were created by them thousands of years ago, they looked like machines.

[ouzel]

That is unfortunate. I'm sorry.

[ He does notice that she says nothing of the sister, and assumes the girl or woman is dead. ]

There's just one moon to your planet?

[ouzel]

Perhaps you'll get the chance.

[ouzel]

I have been, am being, possibly will be.

An interesting ideal.

[ouzel]

...huh.

[ouzel]

You may yet get used to it.

[finethanks]

It's an interesting fact about yourself, after all. A captain of what? A boat, or a spaceship like this one? Just imagining the possibilities gives me chills. Could it be that you're like the hero in a story?

Fufu, but I know that heroes don't really exist. So why don't you tell me about who you really are?

[Why can't he text like a normal teen...]

[ouzel]

Neither, though I possess a 'space'ship that is not like this one.

I should hope I'm not a hero in a story.

[ He's gonna ignore. The rest of that. ]

[straycloud]

To hold nothing would be the most free kind of being. One could simply live life as it is.

What do you hold, Cpt Andor?

[ouzel]

Responsibility.

[finethanks]

[Note to self: the captain is shy.]

You know, I should hope not either. After all, a hero isn't someone normal. They're murderers, covered in the blood of their victims, claiming it's justified. It's so disgusting that it makes me sick.

But you seem like a nice person, captain. Is that right?

[ouzel]

[ This conversation is raising a good 700 warning flags in Cassian's mind right now. ]

I suppose I do seem like a nice person.

[doxing]

How about revenge for liberation?

[ouzel]

Not an unknown cause.

[ Neither an unknown one but that is personal, isn't it? ]

[finethanks]

Fufu, you're supposed to say something like "I am a nice person!" Don't be so modest. We're all stuck here together, you know?

[straycloud]

I'm glad someone does. It isn't in my nature.

Aha! I just realized! There's no more "Master Sanzo, come lead our temple" while I'm here. I will keep nothing. It suits me better.

[ouzel]

Is Fufu a nickname of some sort?

Saying I seem like a nice person is something like saying I am a nice person.

[finethanks]

Fufu is laughter. You know, fu fu fu ✰ like that. Did you want me to call you Fufu? That's an odd nickname to construct from your name and title, but its quirkiness makes it a little cute... Maybe that's what I'll call you, after all. Fufu. ♪

When you say "seem" back to me like that, it makes it sound like I shouldn't believe you. That's the difference, you see? For example, what if I were to say that a planet seems like it might have oxygen. Would you step out onto it? That would be quite the adventurous move. But if I were to say it has oxygen, you'd trust me a lot sooner~

[doxing]

It's a pretty popular one isn't it ... I like the sounds of it myself

What waits for you?

[ouzel]

Ah. I had never seen laughter denoted in that way.

I would rather you not call me Fufu. If you insist, I cannot promise I will respond to it.

You could tell me that it has oxygen, but is it enough oxygen? Are you lying? There are other things to consider before one becomes immediately trustworthy.
