revisiting for a voice refresher + possibly looking??

[firebreak]

It's been a long time. Do you really think you're adequately prepared? I can't say I'm pleased with the return, but I'm well aware of the weight that opinion will hold.

I recommend caution henceforth. Idealizing one possibility to the exclusion of other outcomes will only end badly for you. I do request that should you make a choice, you remain sure of it - and, if possible, to avoid future space travails. Not all of us enjoyed it as much as you.

hey baby hey

Hey, space wasn't so bad, right? New people to meet, places to go, aliens to grapple with...

[assists by administering a brief, serviceable dusting. FRIENDSHIP.]

I'm told things could have been worse - something I'd also like to avoid in the future.

[ontheline]

[WHAT A BRO]

I've seen some options, and I don't like them. Lucky me, I'm tossed in the basement while everyone else gets to have the fun.

...

Except for that guy stuck in space with monsters. He's SOL.

[firebreak]

It seems to me you've simply handed off the reins on that one, Brigadier General. I except this means I'm indebted for the visit.

[ontheline]

Indebted? To me? Think nothing of the sort, Lieutenant! I just wanted to come and spread a little good will before you might get hurled off somewhere unpleasant!

[IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY BOREDOM AND BORDERLINE LONELINESS

*NOTHING*]

why did i write except instead of expect oh my god :(

[firebreak]

Please don't suggest any ideas.

[MILD LOOK for old times' sake]

Surely you wouldn't rather be fighting monsters.

hawkeye u been away from the papers too long

[ontheline]

No way! Normal schmo over here, right? It's just the whole sitting in one spot for years that gets me all squirmy. You have my blessings! Hopefully you'll find a really great place for a vacation.

i always do that :'(

[firebreak]

Perhaps you should get out and stretch your legs more often.

it's okay I love ya anyway

[ontheline]

Hey, yeaaah, you're right. Maybe I should be more demanding! Stick my foot in the door more often. It can get a little boring around here.

SO MANY ICONS I FORGOT TO MAKE

[firebreak]

In my experience establishing a clear chain of command has been helpful.

[ontheline]

Aha... by clear chain of command, you mean whipping out the handcuffs and letting someone know their options.

[firebreak]

That method has proven to be adequate in the past.

[ontheline]

Oh, yeah. I definitely remember how successful your methods are...

[POOR ROY

NEVER HAD A CHANCE]

OMG SORRY HE MISSES HIS PEOPLE!

[thesoulbound]

You were both in space? What was it like? Did you see any aliens? Is the moon really made of cheese?

o/

[ontheline]

That's right, Alphonse--space, with the stars and the aliens! Though as far as I remember, I don't believe any of the things out in space were cheese, no.

Though, I bet there's a place that could correct me on that one.

\o

[thesoulbound]

-=He has to laugh=-

There's always a strange place out there that defies the laws of nature and science we're familiar with. How are you, Mr Hughes? It's been a long time since I've seen you.

[avaricious]

I didn't really enjoy space. Those helmets were uncomfortable.

[firebreak]

I don't recall needing a helmet, but I imagine they would pose certain problems.

[avaricious]

We had to fight on the surface of the moon. It really was troublesome.

[firebreak]

It certainly isn't my idea of a vacation.

[HAWKEYE DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT VACATION IS...]

I hope that sort of thing doesn't occur often.

[avaricious]

No, just that one time. Usually we keep our feet firmly planted on Earth.

[incendere]

I can't say I disagree, though being there certainly provided quite the amount of interesting stories.

[firebreak]

I think the artificial atmosphere affected your memory, sir.

[incendere]

Come now, Lieutenant, you can't deny it had some perks. After all, when else would we have been able to see the ocean?

[firebreak]

As I recall, that trip had much less pleasant consequences than you bring up.

[incendere]

I don't know what you mean.

[firebreak]

Of course not, sir. There are some memories you would rather not recall.

[I ♥ WHALES.]

1/2

[incendere]

(WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT)

[incendere]

So tell me, exactly what kind of place would you prefer if not space?

I MISS MY /SIPS TEA ICON

[firebreak]

The office.

YOU SHOULD MAKE IT

[incendere]

(omg.)

Somehow, I doubt there are many who would enjoy such an environment as much as yourself.

[firebreak]

I simply prefer it over being mysteriously transported to an unknown world with no explanation.

[trickstermentor]

Space has certainly seemed all the lesser without you, lieutenant.

[firebreak]

I'm sure you've found plenty with which to keep busy, Mr. Urahara.

[trickstermentor]

Well I have been keeping busy dodging Yoruichi-san's overzealous admirer, but it's not the same.

[firebreak]

As I recall you are not a person who seems to lack the means with which to entertain himself.

[shortcut]

Is any of that getting through?

[firebreak]

It doesn't appear so.

[shortcut]

Then what they want can get screwed. Look after yourself, all right...? Lieutenant.

[firebreak]

There's no need to worry. I hope you're not experiencing similar problems.
