I am not calling him that.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Tell him it's a direct quote. There, you're not calling him anything. I am.

[mathemagier]

No.

I'll tell him you said hello. That should be sufficient.

[driftsintobuffetline]

It's not, but it's what I expected.

Need anything from the store? Grocery, specifically, but anything along the way.

I need a bike, or a car.

[mathemagier]

A vehicle would certainly be a vast improvement over the transit system.

Some Earl Grey tea would suffice.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Tell me about it. I don't know who is in charge of planning, but the system is crappy and the kid in front of me has been screaming since I got on. Once we settle in, you want to go halvsies on a car or do you want to just wait and get one of your own? I'll split gas with you. If they use gas. Maybe these are electric or garbage powered.

Nothing else? At all? I'm going to the store, there is FOOD and it's not rationed. PUT IN AN ORDER, MAN.

[On the one hand, sharing a car with Newton sounds like a new set of problems just waiting to happen. On the other hand, they really need a vehicle]

I suppose that sounds reasonable, so long as we establish something of a working schedule that complements our shifts.

Salmon fillets, trappings for a salad, and some sort of vinaigrette.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Sure, of course. I mean, ideally we'll work at the same place and come home to relatively the same place, so that'll make it fairly easy.

Gasp! He does eat!

[mathemagier]

Yes, now that we actually have time for proper meals again, and the ocean isn't saturated with Blue.

[driftsintobuffetline]

We can actually learn how to COOK.

[mathemagier]

A startling concept, to be sure.
