[ During Time Ripples ]

[ Someone's been noticing a pattern. Maybe not necessarily connected to the age fluctuations, but one never knows. Instead, she wrinkles her nose slightly. ]

Is it just me, or have people here become a good deal more...amorous, lately?

It's something in the water, isn't it.

So a bit like taking a shift on watch while camping.

Shouldn't be too hard. I don't sleep as much anymore as it is.

[whyarewehere]

[ ...Well holy shit. ]

...You're not joking?

[ Wait, never mind, he doesn't even care. He is so excited. ]

Cause if you are? Too late. A deal's a deal.

[hallaifyouherd]

No, I'm not joking. It'll be nice to have something to do.

[whyarewehere]

Cool. I'll uh... keep you posted on things to do.

[ He is gonna go make saturday night plans and oh man what if this keeps working? Amazing. ]

[hallaifyouherd]

You weren't expecting it to work, were you?

Have you honestly never switched duties with someone, or asked if you could?

[whyarewehere]

No!

Wait, is this some kind of fantasyland thing where you don't understand the concept of saturdays or something?

[hallaifyouherd]

That depends. Are you going to condescendingly explain it to me if I say yes?

[whyarewehere]

Well I don't have to be condescending, but it's easier.

[ Okay, he may be playing around a bit. ]

[hallaifyouherd]

[ Luckily she can tell. ]

Well, go on then.

[whyarewehere]

I don't know what you guys do, but us? We work five days a week. You have Sunday to make up for it so Saturday? Party hard.

[ ...Or just sleep, because you're Grif, but he likes having the option. ]

[hallaifyouherd]

You only work five days a week?

[ Other than holidays or days of worship? That seems a little odd. But different have different rules, this she knows. ]

[whyarewehere]

It was some religious thing, now there's a standardized 40 hour work week cause enough people used to think God would be mad at them for working all the time. Which... God and I have our differences, but I'm on board with that part.

So it kinda works that way unless you have a shitty job. Then anything goes and nobody cares.

[hallaifyouherd]

I see.

So because you're accustomed to having those days to yourself, it's more inconvenient.

[whyarewehere]

And the rest of the galaxy seems to do that too, so that's when all the fun stuff is happening.

...I'm shooting myself in the foot here for trading more saturday shifts, aren't I?

[hallaifyouherd]

If you really don't want to do them, I don't mind.

[whyarewehere]

Thank... you...? I think?

[ He doesn't say that much, wow. And she means it, apparently, it's not looking like some kind of nasty setup to hit him for a favor at the worst possible time later.

Someone is doing something nice for him and not giving him shit about it. It's not the first time it's happened, and it won't be the last, but it's still a head trip. ]

[hallaifyouherd]

If you're unconvinced, I could give them back to you.

[ Now she sounds like she's teasing him. ]

[whyarewehere]

No takebacks!

[ Alright, now he's sure about this.

And about how he's maybe made another friend. ]

[hallaifyouherd]

[ And how she laughs at that. Alright. If it means so much to him to have 'Saturdays' once again held sacred, it seems a small thing to offer. ]

Very well. I only wanted to make certain you were certain.
