This ain't boring, this is science.

[inducings]

I didn't say it was boring. [ It was actually kind of funny. ] I meant that you were doing it because YOU were bored.

[scarcastically]

Yeah, maybe a little. Everyone's into the same stuff and even a month in, I can see the motions.

[ though maybe boring isn't the right word. tame is more correct. ]

[inducings]

[ Hmm. She considers, and then decides just to ask: ]

So what was the point of pointing it out like this?

[scarcastically]

No real reason. Kinda curious to see what level of self-awareness there was.

[inducings]

[ It's science, he'd said. It's more like stirring the pot, she thinks, but it's still kind of funny. ]

I'm probably going to claim 'intro' at some point. And then a bored post. And definitely 'please help me' if I turn into an accidental animal.

[ But she hasn't posted to the network yet at all, and feels weird about it, so those posts are likely... in far off the future. ]

[scarcastically]

Nice. You've got it all planned out, huh?

[inducings]

Well, if you're going to lay it all out like that, it's easy to make a few guesses. What about you?

[scarcastically]

What about me?

[inducings]

No guesses for where you're going to fall on bingo?

Or do you think you'll just keep making science experiments?

[scarcastically]

Probably the boredom squares. There doesn't feel like there's a lot to work towards here. Just the motions at sea.

[inducings]

Yeah. [ She hesitates, but it's probably hard to tell over text, as she does a LOT of self-editing. ] It's... weird. Even what they say is to help the world doesn't seem like it's... difficult, if there are people you want to do that with. Beyond just trying to get home somehow, I guess it just depends on what you want.

[scarcastically]

Is there something you want?

[inducings]

[ Piper actually snorts at this. ]

I want lots of things. Do I know what I want HERE, specifically? I'm working on it.

Short term - do you know any good vegetarian places around here?

[ She'd return the question, but she's pretty sure she already knows the answer. ]

[scarcastically]

Nah, still new.

Though I did hear about a Chinese bakery. Maybe that's the place to start?

[inducings]

Worth a shot. You haven't been there yet?

[scarcastically]

No. Only found out about it today.

[inducings]

Wanna check it out?

[scarcastically]

Sure. Why not?
