[Chloe is sitting in what looks like a library. She's surrounded by heavy books, some of them looking pretty old and dusty and dog-eared in places, and there's a couple of paper take away coffee cups stacked off to one side.]
Right, so I've been thinking. We can choose to live in a pretty diverse areas, where there's all this history or agriculture or cool tree houses or whatever and that's great, but there's still a hell of a lot that doesn't quite match up to what we've left behind, or at least that's what I think. I know there are some pretty big empty spaces for some of us.
Now me? I miss Tim Tams and Patron. There isn't a single acceptable substitute for Tim Tams in space and that's pathetic. It's amazing; I can drive a hover car, planet hop, read all about the great space battle between two alien races who couldn't agree on what the hell Covfefe is, and yet there's nothing close to a Tim Tam in any of the space shops. That seems like a pretty backwards state of affairs.
[She thumbs through one of the books and hums thoughtfully.]
So. If you were going to get space kidnapped again and you could pick and choose three things from home you could take with you, what would they be and why? People don't count.
Go.

[Which is totally missing the point of the question, but hey -- it could happen again. He's missing his shotguns. And thinking about it, there isn't much else material he is missing.]
Maybe you'll get lucky.

If I got lucky it would spit out a few hundred thousand space bucks along with my Tim Tams while it was at it. Doesn't answer my question though, mate.

Nothing I can't get here. Other than Hellfire technology.
[Aliens figured out a lot of things, but self-reloading shotguns? Still out of their purview.]
That's why I don't make a habit of getting attached.

But something nudges at her sense of curiosity and she cocks her head slightly to one side accordingly.]
Hellfire technology? What's that when it's at home?
video;
[Casually, he shrugs. Government never did much else for him anyway.]
Had a pair of shotguns.

Your palette must be screwy, that biscuit's not like carboard. Did you get your hands on a stale pack or something?

You didn't say it had to be something from home that I own.

We also developed Doritos at the MSF originally. Haven't seen those in a while.
[In one timeline a base full off idealistic mercs used their R&D team to develop Doritos. The universe is a funny place.]

Did you get abducted from a life of snack food production?
[because if you can recreate Tim Tams my good man...]
no subject
You know, you don't exactly have to worry about trademarks or copyrights here. If you wanted to invest in Savrii companies making snack foods it might not be a bad plan. It would also give you an excuse to do some product testing.
[In case someone would want to own alien Tim Tams.]
no subject
Ah, but there'd be the little matter of being able to pay for that kind of investment and my disposable income's not looking too flashy. But if you want taste testing, I'm your girl.
no subject
Actually I have some ideas of things to do with mochi, so if that ever comes up.
Otherwise, I didn't really have a lot at home outside of home itself. Not a lot of personal belongings. Whatever I could have wanted miraculously showed up. [That being a person.] So I can't really think of anything else I'd want outside of those smaller luxuries.

I also miss having a ship that can travel the galaxy easily and without great cost, but that is a different home, and a different kind of missing.
no subject
[She pauses for a moment, because wow, that's something she's not thought about in a very long time. Suddenly there's a pang of childhood nostalgia which she shoves down again.]
I don't think anyone would argue with you missing your own intergalactic mode of transport given the circumstances.
no subject
[She pauses as well, thinking about the circumstances.]
No...but it does not feel like the same thing, to miss being able to do something, as to miss...the experience of doing something. I don't miss any specific ship, only ships with that capability in general.

also: 1. a good old fashioned 55 cc motorbike
2. a greasy philly cheesesteak where i actually know what kind of meat goes into it
3. avery's lost treasure
Text
1. Only 55 cc?
2. That sounds horrifying, why would you want a greasy steak when you can have on one the barbie?
3. I can think of a few million reasons to agree with that.

so what are they? chocolate?
1. you ever ride one of those?
2. on the BARBIE?? are you serious?? it's not worth it if the paper bag isn't dripping with grease
3. i can think of at least a billion

( Actually two but who talks about weapons )
They took a memento of mine. Of my daughter.
no subject
Well that's lousy, but I honestly wouldn't put it past them I'm afraid. I'm sorry. What did they take?
