So board games are all well and good — I ain't got a thing against 'em — but what this ship really needs is a way to play some honest to God competitive sports. And when I say competitive sports, I mean baseball. I'd settle for basketball in a pinch, but baseball's the great American pastime for a reason.

Might just be I’m getting to that stage where I'm starting to climb the walls from not being able to do much of anything. Not that Saldanha Bay was exactly a thrill ride, but at least you could stretch your legs without bumping into bulkheads.

Anyway. If any of y'all can figure out a way to play baseball in space, I'll owe you one so big it'll have interest on it.

So the mustache definitely makes me look older? Maybe even distinguished like?

[chemveil]

Distinguished is a stretch. It's endearing.

[jinking]

Oh.

[chemveil]

Aw, sweetie, it'll get there.

[jinking]

I’m not really worried about it.

[chemveil]

No? Well that's good. You'll hit distinguished in a couple of years probably.

[jinking]

That'll take forever. Are you sure I'm not a little distinguished now?

[chemveil]

Positive.

[jinking]

You're one tough customer, Ms. Maryle.

[chemveil]

I like to make sure everyone stays on their toes.

[loculus]

Don't take it personally, her resolution was to hold pointless grudges against facial hair. You look dashing.

[jinking]

Did she say something about your beard?

[loculus]

An entire list of them.

[chemveil]

I can put them all here if you want.

[loculus]

No need. They plague my dreams at night already.

[chemveil]

Aww, you dream about me.

[loculus]

Nightmares are dreams.

[chemveil]

They sure are.

[jinking]

It does kind of make you look like a mountain man, but in a good way?

[loculus]

Romania is notably mountainous. Perhaps it came with the territory.

[jinking]

Did you bring me a souvenir?

[loculus]

My extraction was sudde [...] atypical, so unfortunately I didn't have time to pick out which embroidered blouse would best bring out your eyes.

[jinking]

I'll be more than happy to settle for any fun stories you care to tell.
