Nebula 5
Heard we're supposed to be having another mission soon... seems a bit like every time we get beat down, we have a nice break, then have to get beat down even harder, huh?
[Rich is starting to get tired of this, honestly. He's trying not to let it show on his face, but the bags under his eyes probably still make it obvious. At least he seems to be back to his talkative self, though he has to admit... it's just because he can't take the silence anymore.]
Anyways, I've been thinkin' a lot about the stuff I miss back home. Video games and cheesy movies, and fast food courts in malls that seem like a great vibe until two hours later when you've barricaded yourself in a bathroom stall. All the stuff we don't have a lot of here. And I think there's one thing we're sorely missing, which is memes.
[He smirks a little.] I mean, I could do an acoustic riff on Astley if anyone wanted it, but I wonder if we have better than that.
Maybe we could use that laptop to make new ones? Yknow, all that bottom text goodness? Though I guess we couldn't really use them as reaction images on these terminals...
Anyways, I guess, what's the one thing you wish you had here, that the train just can't replace for you? So whatever you can't buy from the store. I'm in a nostalgic kinda mood.

[He gives a sideways smile, giggling softly.]
Yeah, yeah, I get it. I'm not that special. But yeah, even if the stars are kind of... billions and billions of lightyears away, getting that much closer is nice.
no subject
We are special to be amongst them now, aren't we? In a sense.
no subject
[He considers that, and well, that's a nicer thought than he'd usually have.]
I guess we are pretty special, yeah... it'd still be nice to actually see the stars around here, though.
no subject
[but mostly because he is a teacher who has had to, well, punish those who pull any pranks in the classroom.]
On the next world, hopefully there is the opportunity to star gaze and see something similar to what we see at home.
no subject
[He used to be the kind of bully who would pass his torment off as jokes... He doesn't want to take part in that kind of shit again.]
That could be fun! If only I had a telescope... I bet the stars on other worlds are super weird.
