ein himmelfahrendes und eins, das fällt

I'm sure you're all excited about this return to normalcy, if that's what it is, but I still have one question for our new lord and master.

Worlds like this one don't revive on their own, not from the inside. The power has to come from somewhere - usually someone. Someone human, in the real world.

So: Who rejuvenated this one?

Where do you think the barge is, exactly? 'Cause I'll tell you one thing, it isn't the Milky Way.

pressed enter too early aaaaah

[tucky]

It's a spaceship. It's in space. All kinds of different places in space; it ain't just on one world.

[apaintingdarkly]

It's a nexus world, the space between other artificial worlds. I've dealt with something like it before. The places it takes us may seem real, but they aren't.

[tucky]

What makes you think the Barge is exactly like the stuff you dealt with before?

[apaintingdarkly]

I didn't say it was.

[ why you gotta be this way tucky ]

[tucky]

You said it's a nexus word, whatever that is. You acted like you knew for sure but I don't think any of us know for sure, except for the Admiral.

[apaintingdarkly]

Lady, have you met me? I always sound like that.

[ well it's true. ]

[tucky]

You got a point there.

[apaintingdarkly]

[ Just gonna casually flip you off, no big ]

[tucky]

So why do you think the Barge is like that?

[apaintingdarkly]

Because nothing I've seen so far suggests that it isn't.

[tucky]

What about how you can't escape?

[apaintingdarkly]

It's happened before. And this one is a whole lot more powerful than the Sage of Sleep was.

[tucky]

What about wardens getting to leave when they want?

[apaintingdarkly]

You're working with whatever's in control. Why shouldn't you be able to leave?

[ He's getting sick of your tone, missy. ]

[tucky]

We ain't really working with the Admiral. For him, maybe. But it ain't like he talks to us any more than he talks to inmates.

[apaintingdarkly]

What difference does that make? You're on his side, even if he's a shitty ally.

[tucky]

I ain't just on his side.

[apaintingdarkly]

No, you're on whatever side is against me, too.

[tucky]

I'm on your side.

[apaintingdarkly]

You got a crappy way of showing it.

[tucky]

You're saying that 'cause you don't like me.

[apaintingdarkly]

No shit. And you don't like me, either.

[tucky]

... Yeah, not really. I'm still on your side, though.

[apaintingdarkly]

Then you're a shitty ally too.
