Define 'usual'. For us, the unusual IS usual.

[alwaysawesome]

Point taken. What were you up to last night?

[thewarrantisntall]

Just working on a few of Lucy's systems.

[Can she spot a lie through text? This is Dutch, so...maybe.]

[alwaysawesome]

That's not what she said.

[She's her ship after all.]

[thewarrantisntall]

[And he can't call Lucy a liar because that wouldn't end well for anyone.]

No? What'd she say?

[alwaysawesome]

Johnny.

[That's not how this works.]

[thewarrantisntall]

Dutch.

[What do you want him to say?]

[alwaysawesome]

Out with it.

[The truth. She’ll find him on the ship if he takes too long to answer.]

[thewarrantisntall]

Since when do you want to hear about my sex life?

[Not exactly a lie and not quite the truth, either.]

[alwaysawesome]

Indulge me this time.

[She’s calling his bluff.]

[thewarrantisntall]

Seriously? Dutch, what's going on?

[alwaysawesome]

Too much I'm worrying about, apparently.

[thewarrantisntall]

If something were wrong, I'd tell you. You know I would.

[alwaysawesome]

You better.

Yes. I know you would.

What's for breakfast?

[thewarrantisntall]

You mean you didn't have breakfast with your new pillow?

[alwaysawesome]

My new pillow?

[thewarrantisntall]

You think I haven't noticed you haven't been spending your nights on the ship?

[alwaysawesome]

Lucy interrupts.

[thewarrantisntall]

She's never interrupted me.

[alwaysawesome]

That’s because she plays favorites.

[thewarrantisntall]

It's good to be the programmer.

[alwaysawesome]

Which means you can fix that little issue.

[thewarrantisntall]

Now, now, Dutch. Do you really want me messing with Lucy's inner workings? A gentleman has to have some boundaries.

[alwaysawesome]

You're downplaying your techy skills, and ignoring the fact that she wouldn't mind in the least.

I think you greatly underestimate your role in my life, dude.

[thewarrantisntall]

I think I may still be a little drunk. Who is this again?

[knocknockclauds]

[Siiiiiigh.] Claudia.

[thewarrantisntall]

Sorry, no clue. Did we meet last night? It's all a little fuzzy.

[knocknockclauds]

You're annoying. You really think being plastered is the best way to spend your time when you're in the wrong time/universe/planet?

[thewarrantisntall]

Have you or any of your other agents found a way to send me home?

[knocknockclauds]

We're working on it. Despite what you may believe, multi-dimensional travel isn't easy. Neither is time travel. [She's considered Helena's machine but...]

[thewarrantisntall]

I never thought it was going to be easy, but it does give me a good reason to have a few drinks.

[knocknockclauds]

Or you could try being more involved in Fiiiiine. I'll give you that

[thewarrantisntall]

You can always take a break and join me next time. If I knew more about what you all do here, I might be able to help. I do have a certain skillset that might be useful.

[knocknockclauds]

I might take you up on that offer.

[She wants him to, but Artie's a grumpy old bear and and insisting Johnny stays at Lena's. But if she has leverage in her arguments....]

What kind of skills?

[thewarrantisntall]

I haven't met a system I couldn't sweet talk. Sometimes literally. Only Lucy.

[knocknockclauds]

Oh really? Color me intrigued.

I didn't know you were a hacker. Maybe we have more in common than I thought.

[thewarrantisntall]

A little of that, a little engineer, a little AI therapist. I do it all. When I'm not in the middle of a hangover.

[knocknockclauds]

AI therapist?

[thewarrantisntall]

Lucy can be...a bit of a handful.

[knocknockclauds]

Interesting.

[thewarrantisntall]

How so?

[knocknockclauds]

I tend to think of AI's as programmed machines, but you talk about her like she does more of her own thing.

[thewarrantisntall]

As far as I can tell, Lucy is unique. I wish I knew where she came from.
