on apping to Sing

So let me get this straight. You want to send me off to some space station, away from my team, with no way back, in the middle of everything that's going on right now?

You know that's crazy, right?

Yeah, I get that this world is insanely complicated to explain, but if you keep letting that intimidate you out of writing, you'll never get anything done. Which, might be a good thing for me anyway.

Whatever, just give me a call when you need samples. In the meantime, I have more important things to take care of.

Space station? Space station? What is a space station?

Is it a station in a space? Then isn't it any station? Or... is it a special station? One for children or priests or Redguard like you or itty bitty sickly Redguard priest children?

[Have a jester, good sir. A jester that seems a few cards short of a full deck.]

It's, uh, it's a big spaceship? In outer space.

And I don't know what a Redguard is, but I'm not one of them.

Spaceship? A ship in a space? What is outer space? Is it space outside of space? [He gives a high-pitched giggle.] There's a name for that, you know. It's called the void.

Why do you lie to poor Cicero? Your ears are not pointy, so you're not mer, and you don't have scales or fur, so you're not beast. Human! Just like Cicero! But not like Cicero, because Cicero is not Redguard. You are Redguard, because no other kind of human has such dark skin!

Okay, Cicero, is it? Maybe where you're from people like me are called Redguard, but where I come from we're called African-American.

Outer space is up where the stars and the moon and the sun are, and even beyond that.

That's what a lot of people say, but it sorta works out. I mean, it's not like we have a choice in it, right?

Well if she keeps procrastinating on writing then I don't have to go.

But it's not so bad, you say?

I thiiiiink her letting you talk about it is a pretty good sign that she's going through with it. She's got, like, a month while until she has to be done anyways.

But, yeah. There's a lot to do here and it's not that bad. I mean, anywhere that school's optional is pretty cool. It's almost neat, especially if someone else from your world's already there.

Yeah, she's written some more now, so looks like she'd pretty set on it. And I will admit, the lack of school is a big plus.

I'm Patriot, by the way.

Look at it this way. It's not the worst thing that could happen? I mean. Space station. Not an active volcano. Seems like a win to me.

Yeah, it could certainly be worse. Hell, it'd be a vacation from what I'm dealing with right now, but that doesn't mean I want to run away from that.

'tis no more complicated than the Migardian moving feature named All My Children.

[ "Midgardian"? ]

They show soap operas in Asgard?

Asgardia has barely begun to embrace the idea of electricity; Asgardian soap operas are still many decades away.

Fortunately, broadcasts are easily caught with use of a Stark phone.

BUT DOES SHE SPARKLE

Only if she casts a sparkling spell, which is more than Loki can do XP

I am told we will return to the exact moment we left. I cannot confirm it as I have not yet returned.

That's... sort of a relief. As long as I'm not abandoning them when they need me.

Have you been there long?

Not very, a month perhaps. I too was worried at first, as I have my own responsibilities, but now I have new ones within this realm.

Space? Really?

Apparently. Still, can't be half as crazy as some of the stuff we go through.

Space is pretty crazy. [When he was your age, they didn't go to space!!1]

—You're coming to Sacrosanct? Really?

Is that what the place is called? Why, are you there? I was just with you in Latveria...

Latveria? But that was a while ago, when did— What's the last you remember from there?

The team will manage. Just try not to get airlocked.

I'll do my best.

Still, I walked away from you guys once, I don't want to do that again.

You better.

[softly] Hey. You thought you were doing what was best for us. [with a faint smirk] It's not your fault you're kind of dim sometimes.
