text | calling across the cosmos

There's quite a few of us who are new arrivals, yeah? I'm told we should make ourselves comfortable and get to know our neighbors. It's been eight months since I last really moved anywhere, so hello! My name is Victor Nikiforov. If any one of you feels like discussing our new location or occupations or anything else, please join me for a drink!

[ He even includes a ping for the bar he's at. Conversations up to this point have been anything but promising. So here he is. In space. Surrounded by space people. Talking to other "we did not want to end up in space, probably" people. ]

Also, three questions! Who is fond of dogs, is there anything like Instagram on these, and who knows anything about figure skating?

[ Nope sorry they were talking about his adorable dog, gotta go back to that, thank you, very enthusiastic young man with the capitals and the bolded text! ]

Isn't Makkachin the cutest? I just want to squeeze his fur by his cheeks, he's so adorable!

[ The fact that talking about his dog like this helps to distract him from the things that actively worry him and he can do nothing about is a large percentage of why he'll dote on him on network instead of saying anything of deeper importance.

... Granted, he'd dote on his dog anyway, because that's what Victor does. Still. ]

[Good point, it's time to focus on the more important priority first.]

There's no disputing his cuteness! Absolutely none!! Tell me, is his fur as fluffy as it looks?!

[genice]

[ He's so glad they agree. ]

It is! Probably even fluffier. You should meet him to learn for yourself!

IS THAT AN INVITATION?!!!

[genice]

[ Wow! The text is now all bold and capitals! He peers into his glass and shakes his head, smiling in spite of everything. ]

Yes! Makkachin is always happy to make more friends.

[He was talking to Crow too much... But at least he dials it back with his next reply.]

What a coincidence. So am I! LOL

Just name the where and when! And I'll be there!!

[genice]

Let me think... how is later this "week?" I think we still have weeks. We have day and night cycles... how many cycles are in a week?

( Writing these all out reminds him to ask someone when he gets around to it. Hm... )

[nodyinteam]

Beats me! I'm hoping it's still seven sets, for the sake of convenience, but I admittedly know little about the ways of outer space.

Maybe it will be easier to say in three or four day cycles!

[genice]

Yes, that's much more simple! See you in three day cycles in the park with the nice water fountains?

[nodyinteam]

Now we're talking business!! Alright, I'll be there, and I'll be ready to meet the both of you!
