[liquidate]

i've been reading up on the outer space

(he hasn't read anything.)

bajikan is cool and their weird food's good, but i was looking forward to seeing stars...
where are they, behind that big fire planet blinding everybody???
that thing's overkill if you ask me
we've even been passing a bunch of ugly rocks and i haven't seen one that twinkles at me yet
clearly this is impossible, because there are so many stars in the sky and you think we'd pass by at least one by now?!
these books i've been slaving over are all liars

(he hasn't read anything.)

does anyone know how long i have to wait?
we've gotta be reaching the inner space soon and i don't want to miss them
get back to me quickly
suigetsu, out!

[liquidate]

didn't you read what i wrote?
i spent a lot of time trying to figure out how these watches work

[sweatysometimes]

I mean, the 'big fire planet' IS a star. Just really close.

[liquidate]

so you did know what i was trying to ask
you were just being rude about it???

i've been hearing this kinda thing over and over and it's super hard to believe
but i guess i should try to open my mind, now that we're on an alien planet after cruising through the sky in a metal city

are there water planets and air planets too?

[sweatysometimes]

[Okay, they have a point. Pidge actually feels kind of bad now.]

Yeah I guess I was. Sorry.

Water planets and air planets? Kinda. I mean, Juipter has moons that are covered in frozen ice and water. And Jupiter itself is a gas giant--it doesn't have a surface, it's just a giant swirling ball of gas, so I guess you could call it an 'air planet.'

[liquidate]

that's okay, at least you apologized!!
the other people talking to me aren't, they're just impressively shitty

you have a lot of amazing facts under your belt and i respect that stranger
jupiter sounds awesome?!
why can't we go there???
bajikan is tripping me out, i don't really feel like hitting on someone unsolicited

or solicited

i hate luxuria mostly

[sweatysometimes]

From what I understand we're in the wrong universe--Jupiter is in the same solar system as Earth and we can't go there, apparently. If we pass any other gas giants, though, I'll definitely point them out!

Yeah this place is definitely kinda weird.

[liquidate]

hahahaha gas giants
i wanna see them
do they smell bad??

(eighteen going on four.)

[sweatysometimes]

I mean I guess you COULD smell them for like, the thirty seconds or whatever it takes you to pass out from lack of breathable atmosphere. But I dunno if they smell bad.

IF we get close enough to one, I'll take you out in a shuttle or something and we can take a look. They're actually Really cool.

Do you want to learn more about astronomy? I bet I can find some books and stuff.

[liquidate]

woah really??
hahaha i don't know how i'd feel about that, i'm already creeped out by this huge ship
let alone a smaller one with less room in it
but if we do then tell me for sure

as for learning...
do you think it's necessary...

[sweatysometimes]

You seemed interested so I thought I'd offer, that's all. I mean, you don't have to learn.

[liquidate]

well if you want to teach me then i can listen to that
but i don't have any interest in reading anything or doing any work of any kind
i'm on vacation!

[sweatysometimes]

Sure! I don't see why not. Nothing else going on.

And I can understand that. For me, though, I need to keep my mind occupied or I just get bored.

[liquidate]

asstronomy hahahah
well we can setup regular times for you to read things to me, or you can record messages with you talking about space
that way i can listen to them when I'M bored, this is the best plan ever

[sweatysometimes]

For sure! Space is really cool and I'd love to show you more about it.

Like, did you know that the sun is a star?

[liquidate]

i had no idea until everyone came in my thread to be major jerks about it
but i like the way you're putting it

so no, i didn't know!!
now that i do, everything stops making sense

[sweatysometimes]

Why doesn't it make sense?

And yeah, sorry people are being jerks. I had kind of a snappy reaction, too.

[liquidate]

because now i have so many more questions...
than when i started
space is pretty big...

don't worry, you changed your tune!
veeeeery respectable hahahahah

[sweatysometimes]

Yeah! That's the thing about space. It's huge! So huge! It's bigger than we can really comprehend and as far as we know, it goes on forever!

Well, I'm not a jerk to people who don't deserve it. Or I try not to be.

[liquidate]

wait...
IT GOES ON FOREVER?!

[sweatysometimes]

Well, as far as we're able to tell, yeah.

1/2

[liquidate]

how is there no end to it?
i don't even understand how there could be an end to it
i wake up from a great dream and get dragged here and now i have to listen to how huge the outer space actually is?!

2/2

[liquidate]

please continue
you're intriguing me and that's always a good thing, because i get really bored easily with everything

are you from earth or another planet like bajikan?
