Did the Mnemo get smaller while I was away?

[jaxsons]

Pretty sure a ship doesn't work that way. Did you finally get taller?

[loculus]

I don't know, do I look taller or is it merely that how I've become (even) more handsome distracts one from my one (tragic) failing?

[jaxsons]

Now you getting more handsome I can believe, but I've been cooped up in the office all day so I'd have to see you to confirm taller. How long you gonna be around this time?

[loculus]

[...] For the foreseeable future.

[jaxsons]

Damn, welcome back to the old girl then.

[loculus]

Thank you, Jax. What was the most exciting thing I missed?

[jaxsons]

Me, I hope.

[loculus]

Then tell me about your escapades.

[jaxsons]

They're not that exciting, is all I'm gonna say. Did a couple new tattoos, got a whole year older. The water pipe running next to my office burst and all I could smell was wet carpet for days even after it all got cleaned up.

[loculus]

Who got the new work?

[jaxsons]

I've got the appointment book somewhere, but the only one I can remember right now is one of the newbies, Delilah. You're talking to her down below, actually, @ djensen? She's in Supplies and a real sweetheart.

[loculus]

How very gung-ho of her. Well done.

[jaxsons]

She is a keener.

[delilahs]

Aww, thanks, dad. You're welcome to say nice things about me anytime

[jaxsons]

I'll be sure to keep an up to date list. You doing alright?

[oneirophrenic]

Hardly a tragic failing.

[loculus]

I suppose you're right, a failing indicates it was my fault.

[oneirophrenic]

It's endearing. I do love to loom.

[loculus]

Hence my new strategy to only engage you from the high ground; I've mapped out all the vessel's staircases in preparation.

[oneirophrenic]

A lot of work for a very temporary advantage. What if I seek you out elsewhere?

[loculus]

I lure you to one of these junctures using either my cunning or my feminine wiles, depending on what the situation calls for.

[oneirophrenic]

Ah, but it's my job to be immune to both of those, you see.

[loculus]

Does that imply you'd ignore me?

[oneirophrenic]

I suppose it would be cruel to ignore you when you've been gone for an age.

[loculus]

And to mistreat me on the eve of a new position? Your behaviour would be twice as appalling.
