Yeah, just a few billion lives. No pressure. [He sounds exhausted because goddamnit can everyone chill? But...there's a slight grin.]
Maybe that's what retirement will be. Quitting my jobs and working in coffee houses where the only real problem of the day is running out of milk. I could get used to that. [He doesn't sound so convinced though if only because he thinks life with Akane will never be quiet like that. He thinks about Dick's own life though and wants to say something about a break. In the end though, he doesn't.]
But being here's forced us to be more self-sufficient anyway. [Shrug.]
[AN OVEREXAGGERATED EYE ROLL and he throws a straw wrapper at him.]
Well you did know how to do your own laundry and you haven't starved to death so that probably counts. [The bare minimum...but it's fine. At least this is a good distraction instead of dead friends.] But you've seen some of the others, haven't you? Definitely a general us.
Swords aside. There are still a lot of things about the ship I don't get like how it's still running and the supply and demand needed to keep up with so many of us for almost four weeks.
But nobody's broken anything important so maybe that's a victory by itself.
Magic? [ dick frowns a bit after he says-- ] Not trying to make it sound like a cop-out, but I know a couple of various sorcerer and magicians team ups that would make this feasible.
Depends on the methods. There are a lot of different kinds of mysticism, and while I'm passably familiar with most of them, in cases like these? I'd usually bring in an expert. Which isn't exactly an option right now.
Yeah, sure. [And he'll make Dick a new cup of coffee because he's an idiot and they could both use the distraction. Zia do we have anything else for this thread. Do we want to wrap it. Let's do that and start another one later.]

"Us"? That better be a general us, JT. I was plenty self-sufficient before coming here.

I'm giving the swords a pass. But... [ an exaggerated sip ] Yeah, I can maybe see why you'd think that.

...we could start asking some of the other magic users we do know on-board. But it might be a dead end itself so maybe not.

dick how awake are you rn? mystery ]
... If it is magic, I don't think it's any kind someone here would be familiar with. They'd have recognized it already.

Thanks, Mr. Barista.
