Maybe I was just hoping someone that didn't know Trump was president wasn't going to be talking about ships and time travel.

[So sue her. Though, to be fair, the 'Incident' had happened before Trump.]

[ohshutup]

So sorry to burst your bubble.

[She gives an apologetic little smile.]

The universe is a bit more complicated than that.

[assholic]

Yeah, I'm starting to figure that one out.

[And in figuring it out, she was hating it just a little bit more.]

I'm really going to need that drink soon.

[ohshutup]

I can't help you there, but there's a bloke in a waistcoat who seems to have brought the space station's wine collection with him.

[assholic]

Waistcoat drunk, huh? His name By... Byerly? Stupid Russian space bear fucking emperor?

[ohshutup]

Nah, didn't seem like he was Russian. Jury's out on the beastiality.

[assholic]

The fact you can say that leads me to believe it's him. He doesn't have the accent, but he said something about Russia or ancestors. Apparently he's from the 'future' and likes to make fun of people that haven't been in space.

[ohshutup]

[A smart little finger in the air.]

Oh, this man certainly didn't seem to be from the future. He thought the bones were all sculptures. Kept going on about classic art.

[assholic]

Oh great. There's more than one. Lushes abound.

[Like she was one to talk. Queen Lush, here.]

I think I'd rather stick up at the station. At least there's no fucking mud or sea snakes.

[ohshutup]

Just space mud and space snakes.

[She gives a teasing little smile.]

[assholic]

[It takes her a second, because she's thinking about the discomfort of the sea snake goo stuck in her bra, but she looks over at Clara, arching one brow and fighting back a smirk.]

I bet it glitters. Everything glitters in fucking space, if you go by Flash Gordon.

[ohshutup]

[A matching eyebrow raise, a bit incredulous.]

What the hell is a Flash Gordon, and how much experience have they had in space?

[assholic]

It's a movie. Or comic. I can never really remember which came first. It's also one of the cheesier eighties space adventures, so... loads of glitter.

[ohshutup]

Well, that's one thing I've never seen out there. It's more rocks and weird bugs than anything.

[assholic]

Bugs? Really? Space bugs are a thing? You'd think that would be the one benefit of a gaping void of darkness.

[ohshutup]

Adaptation. "Life finds a way", and all that.

[assholic]

In the vacuum of space? Yeah, not sure I want to know what kind of life adapts to that. That's generally how horror movies start.

[ohshutup]

And most of those horror movies are surprisingly accurate.

[assholic]

Damn rights. Without fail, the dumb bitch will go downstairs to see what the noise is in her panties, and no one ever makes sure the bad guy's dead.

[She'd lived her own version of that nightmare, and she felt she was an authority on it.]

[ohshutup]

[A little huff of a laugh.]

Or a group of travelers walks into the deep, dark woods of an alien planet.

[assholic]

Hey, I came across on a boat, lady.

... And almost got eaten by a sea monster. So... yeah.

[ohshutup]

Because, of course, boat films never end poorly either.

[assholic]

I swear, if I'd heard cello music, I'dve been out of there.
