I promise it's mutually beneficial and I'm doing my best to fuck the revolution out of him.

That's good to hear. I think I'm going to start testing that system. A bunker would be nice to have in this mess. And more clothes, I don't want to wear out my uniform.

I'll have you know that that's really rude.

[ HE'S WORKING DAMN HARD, ]

I do not care for it.

[ smh Vidar no ]

True. And I can't fault you for it.

He and I have a history, and that is what complicates everything.

Let me handle it. Joking aside, I promise you I haven't forgotten how dangerous he is. I won't forget that, even here.

I know you can handle yourself but I'm still going to have your back. Don't forget that either.

I haven't forgotten.

I owe the Arianrhod fleet too many things.

I guess we're the extent of it for now.

The best and the brightest.

[ sigh. ]

But that is why we must survive this world, too. We can't falter here.

I've been wondering. What kind of survival skills does someone with your training have?

I mean .... I'm not going to die out here, if that's what you're wondering?

I would hope not. But it must be different from what you're used to if you've had people to do things like cooking for you.

Certainly. I've had subordinates at one point in time as a leader in my own right.

But I'll be fine. What's your concern?

I'm afraid I haven't been of much use up until now. We should be working together.

There must be something I can do.

It's a different world. 'Use' is mostly relevant as to how liveable this place is going to be.

But if you want something more direct, you can help me at home. Do you know how to cook?

I can't promise a gourmet meal but I'm used to taking whatever's available and stretching it to go further.

That's more than what I'm used to.

I don't mind if you teach me.

I could do that for you. When are you free?

You can come in tomorrow.

I'll send you the coordinates, so you don't get lost.

[ coordinates here. ]

[ The next day arrives and so does Julieta at the time agreed upon. She's been wondering what he's been up to. Now that he has a new place she'd like to see it. Maybe she'll get a feel for what's possible and consider how she'll use her own energy credits or whatever it is. She does have some accumulated by now. She stands in front of his door for a moment before she goes ahead and knocks. ]

[ vidar opens it, promptly, and smiles and lets her in. the house is small. devoid of any decoration, it only houses what is practical: a kitchen, a couch, a table which doubles for eating as well as the only table in the living room, a bed, and a washroom. the entire floor is concrete. the entire wall is panelled to make it look like wood which hides most mechanisms and gives it the feel of a coffin.

vidar doesn't seem to be bothered by this, at all. his pantry is modestly stocked, which is more than what he can ask for. ]

How've you been?

I'm well. It's been interesting.

[ She steps inside and has a look around. The place seems like a decent enough shelter. She wouldn't mind having one like this herself. It seems to have everything one would need. ]

How so?

You've been getting along with people? Met anyone interesting?

[ hopefully julieta hasn't been eating weird things and firing at people she's not supposed to be killing. ]

I've gotten along well enough to get a few more squares completed.

[ She's proud of herself for that. And for not getting into unnecessary conflicts. Though she can't say she doesn't think often about it. When a problem is solvable by putting a bullet in it, it's hard not to. ]

That's good. Make sure to use the rewards for yourself, as well; we don't know how long we'll be in this world, so we may as well figure out ways to make surviving here easy.

[ alas, not getting into unnecessary conflicts is what gaelio hasn't been doing, but at least one of them is more reasonable.

the kitchen is open for her, whenever she's ready for the instruction. ]
