I know a lot of us are worked up about [...] recent initiatives, but I just want to remind us all to be polite and courteous. Especially when using the gym facilities. It's normal to get all sweaty to work out certain kinks and all, but remember to drink your water to quench that thirst and use a towel to wipe up your exertions.

Nobody wants to sit in a puddle when they're tryna work their thighs or have someone else's sweat slick down their back when they just want to work their seated OHPs.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

Have you met him? He doesn't do it to me because he treats me like a kid. But I think it's hunting season with everyone else.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure I don't ping on his or anyone's radar. Too mission focused. Not fun enough.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

You're a tall drink of water and a damn good pilot. Stop selling yourself short.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

You're real sweet, Fox, but I've got eyes. I don't rate.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

Who are you comparing yourself to here?

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

Lola, Philly, Bobby, Eva, Ara, Taryn, Ronen, you. Do I really need to go on?

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

First of all, Az told me I look like a pizza delivery guy from vintage pornography, so I think you're coming off a lot better than me.

Secondly, you're just as good-looking as everyone else on that list. I mean, Philip is the best looking person on the ship and maybe the most handsome person I've ever seen, but that's different.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

The mustache is good. It's a statement. Bold.

Have you tried making a move on him?

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

I was hoping it'd help everybody treat me like a peer.

[...] Who, Philip???? I could never. I mean, sometimes I try to flirt with him a little because he flirts with everyone, but then I remember how great he is and how handsome he is and I lose the ability to talk normal. He probably thinks I'm some annoying kid.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

You're still green, Foxy. Give it a year or two. Lyra still treats me like a baby.

He's just a guy. And who knows, maybe you'll be the one to sweep him off his feet. He's taken an interest in you. You should send him a valentine.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

It's just hard waiting.

[...] I don't think that's a good idea. Anyway, he probably gets a million Valentines. But maybe YOU should send one to Az.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

I know. Consider this a hazing.

Why not? Nothing's going to happen if you don't try to make it happen. And I don't need to send Az anything because he'll take it one way and it'd be real awkward to have him reject me. [...] But I am thinking of sending someone chocolate.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

I really don't get why you think Az would reject you when he's made his interest real clear.

Who're you sending chocolate to?

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

He's just joking. It's not serious.

Just a friend! Nothing special or suspicious at all!

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

But it is serious. I'm telling you it's serious. You should trust me.

Uh huh.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

Say it is serious: it won't last. His attention will go somewhere else. I don't want to, like, get my hopes up because I don't want to just sleep with someone. You know? My moms would have called him a scrub and scrubs shouldn't get no love from me.

It is!

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

Sleeping around can be f Yeah, I get it. You want a big romance.

I don't believe you, but I won't pry neither. Good luck with whoever it is.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

I don't think it needs to be a big romance. I just don't want to be forgotten, and Az [...] I don't want to be a feather in his cap. I'd want more.

No luck just chocolate.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

I don't know if you should make those kinds of assumptions about Az without talking to him first. We're all adults here.

Chocolate's cute. I hope the recipient's into it.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

Maybe. I get in my head a lot.

He likes chocolate. And you should send something to Phil. Play it off as a respect thing, but you should try. You're hot and he'd be lucky to have you.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

That's your problem. You can't overthink things.

[...] I don't know. I don't really think about dating him, if you catch my drift.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

I can't just leave upstairs empty, Fox. Gotta fill it with something.

This is a sex thing, isn't it?

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

Well. A wise birdie once told me that you shouldn't overthink yourself into stagnation. Just keep that in mind.

Absolutely, yes.

Fox/Griff.

[griiff]

If I don't keep my thoughts occupied, I get morose, and morose Griff is no fun.

Then just ask him if he's tired and needs a nap. In your bed. With as his personal hot water bottle.

Fox/Griff.

[jinking]

You can keep your thoughts real busy without overthinking all your interpersonal relationships and the like.

[...] Tempting. I'll think about it.
