So would anyone want to go with me on one of the expedition trips? I'd like to go if I can find a partner; I don't get too many opportunities to travel where I'm from, so I think it could be kinda neat.

I know I'm just a kid, but I promise I can carry my own weight.

Oh. Well... I know how that goes. The worrying. Yeah, I get it

Don't sweat it, your secret's safe with me! Makes it even more important you get home in one piece, though

I got a little girl of my own to come home to, too

( and then, because scott can't read the fucking atmosphere, )

Do you have ample supply of ketchup in your kitchen?

[american_alien]

Thanks. Seriously.

But yeah! Plenty of ketchup. You like ketchup? I'll make sure there's ketchup on yours.

...or is this some kind of survival thing with ketchup I haven't read about?

[tictacs]

Naw, I just like ketchup. :) Maybe you ought to bring the ketchup bottle. If you still have space

But shit, that reminds me. I'll put a little first-aid kit thing together

You think the place'll have trees? Sources of water? All I'm seeing from the diagram is a whole lot of mechanical shit, but if it was a civilisation...

[american_alien]

I think it might be a good idea to at least bring a few things. If we see that there's nothing there we can eat or drink, that way we can look around a LITTLE before we have to go back and get more supplies.

[tictacs]

Ugh, man. Good point.

All right. I'll bring as much stuff as I can and try not to slack off on the packing.

You remember when we're supposed to be on the ship?

[american_alien]

I don't think they gave us an exact time. We can probably call there, though.

And don't worry about packing too much. I can carry it.

[tictacs]

I bet you can, strong man.

I'll see you on the boatshipthing then, yeah? Chances are you'll be there earlier than me, so I'll just let you know when I'm on-board.

And if you find someone else to rope in, rope them in!

[american_alien]

You've got no idea.

See you there!
