That's what I told him. That the film was rubbish, I mean. Except less British.

And I was having a private conversation with someone else on the network that just happened to be public. It's not my fault Starfleet apparently has google alerts set up on their names.

A private conversation that just happened to be public. Right.

[George wants to be snotty...except some day he's going to end up doing that. He just knows it.]

I don't suppose we have a Picard?

Sadly, no. There were a few non-ToS types around for a while, but I haven't seen them lately.

What, you a Next Gen guy?

Part that. Part that I'd sooner have Picard than Kirk. Kirk seemed to solve most of his problems by hitting them or getting shirtless at them, which does not seem like it would work here.

Pretty sure he's gotten shirtless at a few things here, not sure if it's solved anything.

I feel like Picard would just get really grouchy about the lack of good tea, though.

And rightly done him. I can't well believe that there's a lack of tea here. It's like some sort of ironic punishment. I complained about Annie making too much tea at home, so I'm sent here, where there's none.

Oh, there's tea, but it's the equivalent of instant coffee. Which we also have, and it's also the equivalent of instant coffee.

[ synonymous for awful. ]

You could probably scrape together some lovely herbal mixes from the garden.

That's where I'll be working, it seems, so I suppose so. Though herbal tea isn't tea, you know.

Pretty sure it still fits the definition.

Tea is black, caffeinated, and full of milk. Preferably with a bit of sugar as well. Chamomile is acceptable, though it is not tea.

You might want to lower your standards if you're planning on making space tea.

Right. I've seen similar sentences a number of times now, and I have to ask: is "space" just a stand-in for the word "bad"?

Basically. I'm trying to come up with an example where it doesn't mean 'bad' and I honestly can't think of one. This ship wasn't exactly built like a luxury cruise liner, that's all I'm saying.

I'd give my left arm to be on the Enterprise.

Not that I disagree, but you might want to be careful what you wish for. The ship has a thing for awful bargains.

Yes, Mitchell warned me of the same thing. Has some sort of ironic situation actually occurred?

Nothing incredibly specific that I know of, but I think limbs have been lost. Not that I think positivity would result in a different outcome.

Which is a very cheerful welcome to space, sorry. Sometimes if you get drunk, the gardens almost make you feel like you're on an actual planet. ??

[ GOOD NEWS there you go. ]

Hooray for alcohol, then. Making space bearable.

[Aaaand suddenly he looks up and realizes he's been talking to Single White Joshmale for a while like he's a friend, and that makes him feel...weird.]

Right. Thanks for the advice.

Only just.

[ Josh is a little behind the curve, but as soon as the awkward exit attempt occurs, he realizes that - right, he's talking to bizarro him, this shouldn't be normal. Have an extremely awkward acknowledgement of that extremely awkward text. ]

Right. No problem, any time.

Right. I'll let you know when it's that time, at least, so you can stay away.

Sure, I'll do the same.

[ Because he gets the impression George would actually listen to the warning, and the last thing he needs is for him to find out how incredibly not under control Josh has things. ]

Cheers.

[And that would be the end, except a thought occurs to him and he sends a follow-up test - ]

And you know not to tell anyone.

[ OH MY GOD GEORGE are you serious right now. ]

Really? Shoot, I just texted everyone I know. Don't worry, I'll tell them to keep it on the DL.

[ERM]

Right-- tone can't be read over text, so that had better BLOODY WELL be sarcasm

[ DOESN'T BOTHER RESPONDING. ]
