Okay, I know a lot of shit is going on and we're trying to solve that stuff. Good power on that and everything. Also, just an aside, I'm also with Leo here. If anyone needs escorts places, I'm here for it.

Please note I'm not responsible for any nausea experienced through high speed travel.


ANYWAY! Back to the main point of this communication. That new 'upgrade' to the replicators? Been testing it out. There is now a SERIOUS supply of coffee at the diner. I've even replicated a small scale coffee machine to go alongside our French Press. And this month it's replicating flour.

Why am I telling you this other than to offer coffee and bread? Because the Diner could use more staples. But, like, I'm sure there are really good calls for other bulk resources too. Maybe stuff for the forge, or the hospital. Or a lot of really thick fabric to turn into blankets or something. So I was thinking maybe this is a good time for helping each other out.

I don't tend to keep Comms for long enough to want to program stuff, especially not with it being fall and me needing to do a TON of harvesting and preservation work. But maybe someone could whip up an additional small app where people could put in requests for what we could use bulk volumes of so that people could donate bulk replications if they don't have other things they need or want? And you could even program in the specifications for the replication too so that people donating them don't have to brain out how to do it themselves?

Just a thought.


Oh, and one last thing. Glitter Food ship people. You have no Agricultural Expertises right now. And the ships are the only place we can grow and manage the Earth Crops I got on the Spacedock. I'd really appreciate setting up some arrangement where someone could let me on every few days for a few hours to plant and manage the greenhouse there so we've got extra growing space. You know, real tomatoes and a blueberry bush and carrots. I miss carrots. Anyway, hit me up if you're willing to help on that.

Or on the other thing.


Or just with the plant stuff in general. It's a lot of work in the fall, the harvesting and the preserving foods for winter. So, yeah, any hands I can get would be nice. Thanks.

My behavior. That's what I'm apologizing for. Even if you don't feel like it's needed, I do. And so I'm giving it.

[He's going to hide how warm he feels over someone being proud of him, though. Like, he doesn't need people to know he's desperate for that sort of approval because he's spent most of his life pretending he didn't.]

Years of friendship with David Alleyne stacked up with time here and my recent associations and need to support someone I care about apparently has a maturing affect.

[in_extremis]

Feeling responsible really does change your perspective. Makes you grow up fast.

[doubled_speed]

I guess it does. And it wasn't like anyone in my teams ever saw me as the responsible sort. I never had to be.

With him I have to be. I was starting to get there with David, but with Sunshine, I just... I want to be.

[in_extremis]

You ever think you were on the team because they thought you were responsible enough for it?

[doubled_speed]

I was on the team because they needed help saving Teddy from the Skrull and Kree, and then after that because Billy was sorta invested in me, and then after THAT because Kate Bishop. You ever try and tell her no?

[in_extremis]

That's a lot of dumb mistakes for your friends to make.

[doubled_speed]

The oldest of us WAS seventeen.

[in_extremis]

Hey, I'm not going to tell them that's how you talk about them. When they find out, you can be sure it wasn't me.

[doubled_speed]

We all already know we were idiots then, Tony. I blew up the UN for crying out loud!

[in_extremis]

I take it back, I might tell them.

[doubled_speed]

Nope. It's out there.

[in_extremis]

What?

[doubled_speed]

That I called us all foolish because we were kids. It's out there. I said it. Owning it. We were.

[in_extremis]

Oh, here I was, assuming you guys were looking out for each other. I didn't even call Pym an idiot to his face until it was clear someone had to.

[doubled_speed]

We do look out for each other. Doesn't mean we weren't stupid back then. Or that we can't be stupid now.

And I'd happily call Pym a fucking idiot to his face many times over, family or not. Sure maybe I wouldn't be alive if he wasn't as much of an idiot as he is, but fuck, SUPER IDIOT.

[in_extremis]

I feel like this car is running backwards, we're going the wrong way, I'm trying to tell you to be more gentle, in general, I guess, it was supposed to be with yourself.

[doubled_speed]

Didn't read it that way. Text blows sometimes.
