I feel like, with everything that's going on, I've lost track of time.

I mean, we've been on a ship for so long, we've gone on a few planet trips, and then there was that whole— [ Elena waves a hand, dismissive. Only because that's a difficult one to process. ] —year thing. Or at least I think it was a year.

Not only that but we've gone and swapped out captains, most of us have survived a ship crash landing or two, and Lord knows what else.

But in all of that— and yes, there's a point to this— how are you supposed to celebrate a birthday when you've barely had any time to sit down and process everything? When you sit down and keep asking yourself, "What day is it?" or "What month are we at?" or better yet— "How old am I again?"

[ Like the song What's my age again? ]

I really doubt this place has a bar with decent male strippers.

[ A tiny pause. She makes a face. Oh god. ]

...what if they're alien male strippers? What am I supposed to do with that?

Take a few hours and get to know them, and you might end up discovering just how much you have in common with the "aliens".

And if they're stripper aliens? [She shrugs, slyly amused.] Maybe take a few more hours. It is your birthday, after all.
squadgoals: (that makes a stupid kind of sense)

Got it in one. We're definitely in the minority, here.

Only one way to find out, and I volunteer as a test subject.

We're explorers, a squad of two on a mission, braving the vast unknown, standing side by side as we head towards new vistas and horizons.

[a beat; and then an affirmative nod]

Especially when those horizons are showing some skin. Let's do this.

[A thoughtful look crosses her expression]

Might need to do a little research into tipping culture, first, though.

[There's a moment of pause as she considers not walking up to randoms and asking them for their life's story. Rejected.]

The Ingress Complex is a center of trade, commerce, and business — if they don't have an informational booth with a rundown of the various sectors on each planet, here, they're not doing their job.

Once we know where to go? We call in cavalry. There's strength in numbers when you're doing hands-on research, right?

Unless there's a specific law against it? It's practically guaranteed.

Sounds good to me. [She taps her TAB for a moment, thumbing through some options.] Haven't done it on the new devices, yet, but there's probably a way to make a group chat on these, too. Might be useful for getting our expedition details hammered out.

Are we billing ourselves as a study group? Suits me.

But of legal age to purchase our own alcohol.

Not sure if that makes it more or less fun, to be honest.

Yet another experiment I'll put myself forward for.

For science.
