[The username reads as 'Bismarck.' The picture is of a nondescript piece of purple-painted metal. Is there a pattern here with the previous post? Huh, he didn't notice.]

Tell me a little about your world?

[The request is simple, and harmless enough. No one is obligated to answer, no one is obligated to answer with details if they do.

[It's just a little bit of recon, that's all.]

Ah, then you wouldn't know. [Kind of explains the vague 'Tell me about your timeline' thing he's doing.] It was a space ship that originated from these planets. It had an Ingress on it, which began malfunctioning and brought more people from other timelines onto the ship. We were consigned as crew, and worked while we traveled to this place-- where supposedly we could find our way home.

It crashed on the last planet before the crew arrived here. Up until then, I was her First Mate. You don't just sign on for that sort of position without some love involved, right?

No, you don't. Love for the ship, or for the people on it, anyway. You sound like the kind of person I'd be glad to have in charge, though.

Has it been hard to adjust to things here?

That's quite a vote of confidence given we've only been chatting for a few minutes. [But she can't say she isn't a little pleased with the compliment.]

Well, when you said you related to people shooting at you, I imagine you'd probably feel the same way I did once I realized no one was shooting at me. Or would shoot at me again.

I call them like I see them.

[And he sees someone he'd trust.]

... That hasn't quite sunk in yet.

...can't argue with that, I suppose.

[He's very trusting, isn't he? It's an odd thing to hear from someone who seems to be pragmatic, but also fairly trusting. Those two don't really go hand-in-hand as far as she's concerned.]

Maybe you'll get lucky and it won't happen. Strange things do tend to happen around here, though usually not the armed-conflict kind. So it isn't all grocery lists and walking the dog.

There's a shooting range I go to sometimes, it can help a bit if you ignore the people who are a little too excited about firearms. [They mostly leave her alone now, given she brings what they term 'antiques'.]

I'd probably benefit from a little daily practice.

[He goes directly for "daily."]

It'd keep me from going nuts, I'm sure.

Daily? You want to go daily, you should find yourself a different place. People might start to think you're their friend if they see you there enough. [She hums in amusement.]

But yes, it does offer... familiarity. If that's something you need.
