Sharing is caring [Closed to people he's invited over]

[greennotgold]

Fletcher had just returned from GLaDOS's various tests, and was now in his room in the crew quarters getting reacquainted with the meatship.

Something was strange about it all, though. Somehow, he got the feeling that the room was too big for just him, and emptier than it should be... they were all the same size, though, weren't they? So that was silly.

He sat on his bed, munching on a candy bar he'd picked up while grocery shopping on Zokez II, and waited.

This is actually a little annoying, the longer it goes on. "But she's treating people like lab mice!" Fletcher protests, and if anyone knows better than to let people experiment on human beings, it's the tiny, murderous alchemist. "What if someone gets hurt?!"

"But doesn't not everyone come back?" Fletcher isn't clear on the details, and he doesn't know anyone personally who didn't (to his knowledge), but he has seen people talking about things like that on the channel. If it's safe, then maybe it's all a misunderstanding... but it worries him. "And I was really scared when I was there..."

Vega nods, he knows that this at least seems to be true. "Sometimes it takes a while though," he tells Fletcher.

[greennotgold]

"Oh..." Something about that doesn't ring true, but, well, he doesn't know anyone who hasn't. "I see."

Vega sighs. "But that still doesn't tell us why she does it."

He's clearly disappointed. Vega thought finding out would just be a simple matter of asking, he's never gone head to head with the full extent of Stacy's crypticness before.

[greennotgold]

"Ye-yeah..." If anything, that just makes Fletcher more worried.

Vega rebounds. "Ah well. We tried!" he smiles. That seems to be enough for him.

"I guess the others aren't kidding about her not answering questions so good." He shrugs and makes a "what can ya do" sort of face.

[greennotgold]

"I guess so..." Fletcher sounds a bit down at the lack of progress, but at least Vega's still upbeat. "It's not fair... How could it hurt anyone to tell them why?" He sighs a little. "Um, want some more candy?"

[obscura-prodigy.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I think that's really dumb," he agrees. "I didn't have clearance for stuff at home either, it was no fair."

He nods. "Sure!"

[greennotgold]

"At least it's not just us, I guess. The adults don't either..." Though that really doesn't make him feel any better.

"Okay. I have a lot left!" And he starts to head back toward his room.
