Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 2:05 pm"I'm bored. This place is boring. Want to go out tonight?"

"Sure! Where to?"
"Sure! Where to?"

Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:09 pm"Ah yes, the Steriloids really don't like us do they?" he joked.

Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:11 pm"You know there used to be a blockade around the solar system, right? To some, you're worse than Space-Ebola."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:13 pm"Because we keep defeating invasions and make them look bad?"
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:14 pm"I think it was the arrogance, mostly," she laughed.
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:23 pm"Considering the aliens I've met? Pot, meet kettle."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:24 pm"And then there are the ones that want to put you in a pot," she conceded. "So, all in all, it's good you'll be with me."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:26 pm"Agreed. That'd be terrible. They'd never cook me right."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:27 pm"Don't worry your scruffy little head. You're safe with me."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:39 pm"Even on Murderkill Nine of the Horribledeath System," he nodded.
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:41 pm"I don't think that's an actual place."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:47 pm"I sure hope not."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:56 pm"But something a little wild might be up your alley, hrm?"
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:59 pm"Maybe?" he shrugged, "...not sure what qualifies as wild here."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 4:06 pm"Not like HERE. It's so boring," she said, flopping down on the couch.
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:50 pmAppropriately, an episode of Doctor Who was paused on the TV.
"Surely you haven't seen everything fun the Earth has to offer."

Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:56 pm"Humans are boring, though."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:22 pm"Am I boring then?" he asked as he sat by her.
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:24 pm"Well, humans as a species, then. Is that better?"
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:43 pm"A little. Still, we create non-boring things."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:46 pm"Have you ever seen the crystal fountains of Regolith IV?"
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:52 pm"No, but I've seen a talking raccoon and a tree with a deceptively robust three work vocabulary inside a colossal metal head. But other than that my space adventure was mostly boring as hell."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:59 pm"I'm sorry rescuing me wasn't a barrel of laughs. I didn't exactly have a good time, either."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:01 pmGuilt crossed his face.
"I... didn't mean it that way."
"I... didn't mean it that way."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:04 pmAltamira sighed. "I know you didn't, Kevin."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:12 pm"Good to know," he smiled.
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:13 pm"But everyone around here is so..uptight."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:19 pm"... how so?"
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:21 pm"I don't know how to explain it. It's just...everyone seems like they're afraid of living. Afraid of the unknown."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:39 pm"It's a self-preservation thing. The unknown is an unnecessary risk for many a squishy mortal. Laughing in the face of death isn't something everyone can bring themselves to do."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2014 9:23 pm"The X-Men come back from the dead all the time! I've done it, like, three times myself."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:12 pm"I didn't technically die to begin with."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:46 pm"No, but laughing in the face of death is part of the job description."
Re: I13DT: Take a Little Trip
Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 2:57 pm"Not everyone is like us. I don't expect them to be either."
