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.

Don't think wars are meant to be comfortable, Murphy.

[murphyy]

don’t think anybody said that they were. but we’re not just fighting, we’re living too.

[philiip]

That's true. And it's easy to underestimate the effect space madness can have on people when they've been in such an enclosed space for so long.

[murphyy]

i think we do okay, all things considered. can’t say i think sports or fight club’d hurt tho.

[philiip]

I'll take whatever doesn't involve projectiles in a ship.

[murphyy]

we calling a soccer ball a projectile still or…?

[philiip]

Yes.

[murphyy]

what if they’re all real bad at kicking?

[philiip]

Then I'd favor a fight club, because those kicks would be hilarious to see.

[murphyy]

you fighting if there’s a fight club?

[philiip]

I, personally, do not suffer from space madness anymore. I'll put bets down on people, though.

[heelhook]

bet on me

[philiip]

Obviously, Hyun.

[heelhook]

[philiip]

I have no doubt those knuckles of yours are mean fuckers.

[murphyy]

[heelhook]

nerds in science who don't pay attention to us

[murphyy]

good point.

[clandestinity]

[murphyy]

i’m gonna go ahead and plead the fifth.

[murphyy]

[philiip]

Why would I need to show off?

[murphyy]
