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?

[ What. Is a Fufu. ]

Well. It was awfully hot.

[finethanks]

[No one understands the Fufu.]

My health deteriorates quickly in the cold, but it likely wouldn't do too well in extreme heat, either. I wonder if I could find a happy medium beneath an umbrella~

[ouzel]

[ The Fufu is weird, dude. ]

One would hope, though there weren't any when I was there. Maybe it will have changed.

[finethanks]

[That is very true,]

I hope so.

If you don't mind my asking, are you really a captain?

[ouzel]

I am. People seem interested in that detail.

[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. ]

[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.

[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?

[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~

[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.

[finethanks]

It must be a cultural difference.

You're so serious, Captain. It was just a simulated scenario, and you're thinking of such realistic things~ But you are right. Normally, you'd look for every little detail before you can decide if someone can be trusted.

[ouzel]

Must be.

Being serious is one of those habits I don't seem to be able to break.

[finethanks]

That's not such a bad thing in some cases, Captain Fufu. I'll look to you if we run into a time of need on board this spaceship. But make sure you relax every now and again. Get a massage!

[ouzel]

[ There is no response to that. ]

[finethanks]

[He won't keep harassing him now, but he'll FIND HIM LATER!!! Just wait, Captain Fufu.]
