Ladies, Gents and Qubit:

If you happen to find neatly folded trousers tucked away in corners around the place, leave them alone.

It's important they stay where they are in case of emergencies.

If you take them and don't replace them I will know and you will regret it.

And if you do see a tall, naked, handsome man looking for said trousers: Do not touch.

Someone actually has a flame thrower?!?!

Fuck all of that noise.

I.. don't think I know who that is. Big guy describes a lot of people.

[nothinglikefather]

I mean, that's his entire personality right there: big, on fire. And has it in for Lennie Snart.

Not that it matters, as he's disappeared.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Good, I spent two years in Hadriel trying to protect my shooting range from people with flame throwers. You don't need to improve your aim with a flame thrower. IT'S A FLAME THROWER.

[nothinglikefather]

Mate, I don't think it would have bothered him.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Sure but, the barn is pretty flammable. I'd like to keep it all in one piece.

[nothinglikefather]

What anyone else liked or wanted never crossed his mind Pratt. It really didn't.

But I doubt he would have done it for shits and giggles.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Sounds like a real winner. Probably better off without him then.

Though maybe he found a way back home and didn't bother telling anyone else.

[nothinglikefather]

From experience if he found a way back, he probably didn't get a chance to tell anyone.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Think it sucks you out of here as abruptly as you show up? That makes sense I guess.

[nothinglikefather]

That's what happened the last place I was stuck. Didn't want to go but it spat me out anyway.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Huh. Last place I was at there was a door to walk through and it sent me back home..for about 5 minutes. Then I ended up here.

[nothinglikefather]

Seems that once you've been in one, you'll end up in others. Even if you don't want to go. I'd really just like to stay put at this point.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Not real eager to get home either. Here's kind of a lot better.

[nothinglikefather]

The people are better, that's for sure.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Definitely.

I'm enjoying the not "about to die" thing that I have going on at home too.

[nothinglikefather]

Yeah, that probably ruins the ambiance of home a bit.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah.

Though I'd like this place a little better if we weren't being kept from certain doom by a big glass dome that could be shattered. That's not exactly confidence boosting.

[nothinglikefather]

There's almost certainly a way out and somewhere else to go. That City on the horizon? We just need to work out how to get there.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Oh sure we can leave, but there's not really air out there? I dunno about you but I don't want to grow a couple more arms due to radiation either.

[nothinglikefather]

That's for the scientists to work out. I'm just saying if they got a move on with it, we could probably go before Christmas.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Two scientists against the world huh? No pressure or anything.

[nothinglikefather]

Just against radiation. Tell them to pull their fingers out.
