So, how about that port? I thought it seemed kind of fishy.

If anyone has any chores or other menial tasks they'd like help with, I'm offering up Theo. He needs to learn there are things he can do that don't involve property destruction and temper tantrums.

Did it feel good to get that out?

[dealwiththe]

Sure! Humor is a healthy outlet. 🥸 Good to keep in practice.

Any suggestions you might have for my inmate would be appreciated, though I can understand if you don't relish the thought of babysitting.

As much as I tend to spend my time in the infirmary, I don't think it'd be a good place for Theo. Too much trouble begging to be caused there.

[dealwiththe]

I agree, there's far *more* potential for property damage if he's in the infirmary - and property damage that might actually cause us problems.

But maybe if you need help with other things - cleaning your space, or laundry, some other menial tasks that would free up more time for you. I'd like to get Theo into the habit of actually helping others.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[But she likes cleaning her own space...]

There's a surprising lack of chores on a spaceship, isn't there?

[dealwiththe]

Do you *miss* doing chores? I'd think you'd relish having more time for

Doctor stuff?

[nineteenfortyfive]

I like keeping busy. Is that strange? Not always "doctor stuff," either.

[dealwiththe]

Yes but laundry? Mopping floors? Have you seen the number of movies the library has?

That reminds me, I should get a movie night going.

[nineteenfortyfive]

How many do you think will attend that?

[dealwiththe]

Whichever wardens feel like watching a movie, I suppose. We can alternate who chooses the movie. Socializing fosters camaraderie and all that. We're all here together, living and working in close proximity and in a high-stress job. Can't hurt.

[nineteenfortyfive]

Some of us aren't here to make friends, I'm afraid.

[dealwiththe]

I've noticed.

[ Lucifer imagines he's encountered a lot more hostility from other wardens than even Claire has. ]

We don't all need to be exchanging bracelets and braiding each other's hair but I imagine this process will work better if we can have a modicum of trust and collaboration between us. And a movie night sounds better than "get along" t-shirts.

[nineteenfortyfive]

I'll let you go ahead and make the attempt.

[dealwiththe]

You're not volunteering for the social committee with me? Here I thought we'd make quite the party-planning team. 🥳

[nineteenfortyfive]

I think you're more than enough to man the entire committee yourself.

[dealwiththe]

Ah, but it gets lonely at the top. I can say from experience.

[nineteenfortyfive]

You might find someone with more of an interest in film. I watch whatever is put in front of me.

[dealwiththe]

So that means you'll be there. 😀
