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?

I haven't found it on any menu yet, but I'm thinking of trying to make it myself as a personal challenge. I could share my efforts in that area! If you want.

( Victor versus the kitchenette: that's the real challenge here. )

Cinnamon buns? Yes, I have. I feel they're best hot out of the oven. Why? Are they a favourite of yours?

this is a disaster in the making

[For a moment Ax just stares at his communicator in shock. How had it never occurred to him... to make food of his own? Then he could have it whenever he wanted. This is a total game changer. This ship is unprepared for what this means.]

Yes please teach me how to make food can you make cinnamon buns ?????

im so happy

[genice]

We can learn together!

( what a beautiful blossoming friendship right, Victor is pretty sure this is how you do friends when you're not in competitive circles, right )

Cinnamon buns are great for breakfast, so how about we try making those in a few day-cycles from now?

[canadese]

[This is the best day of his life.]

yes i will gladly make delicious cinnamon buns with you where is the best place to do so ?

I feel we can make one of the kitchens in our studio's work.

( As they all clearly live in studio apartments, only... spaceship style. )

They're tiny, but serviceable!

[canadese]

if you think there will be enough room then yes. it will be better if I go to your dwelling

[genice]

( His room can likely handle two humans (YOU DID INSIST, AX) and a dog, he thinks. Or knows. Why is everything so relatively cramped compared to what he's used to. (Because Space, Victor.) (I know, self.) )

That will be fine! I'll investigate what we'll need to be ready beforehand. You're good with dogs, right?

[canadese]

Yes I have encountered them before.

[genice]

Good! Makkachin will be with us the whole time, but he's a god dog. He'll stay out of the kitchen area and on my bed.
