Not particularly. But do give Archer my regards if you see him. I hope he's feeling better than he was.

[ he hopes no such thing and is just being a dick :) ]

[atowncalledtreffy]

Archer’s annoying and we aren’t friends. Also I don’t think he’s shown up, much like you.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

What a shame. [ oh look it's an actual smile ]

And I have not been allowed to return to the kitchen Mr. Keppler placed me back on janitorial duty, yes.

[atowncalledtreffy]

A hundred people on this boat and no one wants to help feed themselves. I’m going to give everyone pottage and see how they like it.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'd like to see you do that. Though the only ones you'll be effecting are the inmates and those wardens who haven't gotten around to asking the Admiral for their own kitchen.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Yeah, who the hell has fire that close to where they're sleeping, anyway?

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

... is that a serious question?

[ trevor. trevor please. ]

[atowncalledtreffy]

Spoken like someone who's never seen what damage a kitchen fire can set to a house.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'm-- well aware of just what a kitchen fire can do.

[ trevor please ]

[atowncalledtreffy]

So why have a kitchen in your cabin? It doesn't make sense.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'm equally aware of the precautions one takes to avoid such a fate.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Yeah.

Like not having a fire in your cabin.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

That is one way to avoid it, yes. There are others.

[atowncalledtreffy]

I shudder to think.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Basic fire safety, for one.

[atowncalledtreffy]

'Don't light yourself or your home on fire'.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

You haven't had any deeply traumatic experiences with fire in your life, have you?

[atowncalledtreffy]

Nope. Not a one.

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

Then where has this concern come from?

[atowncalledtreffy]

Concern about not burning to death from kitchen fires that were all too common back home? God, I wonder.

[ Elias loathes that he can't just See in Trevor's head, like he ought to be able ]

Only the unlucky ones. Smoke inhalation would render most sleepers thoroughly unconscious.

[atowncalledtreffy]

How the fuck did we get on this dark fucking subject, again?

[His family's always been unlucky]

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

[atowncalledtreffy]

You talk about it like it's a fucking job interview. 'Hello, my name is Elias, I'd like to apply for the position of Apocalypse Bringer. Prior qualifications? Well, I'm a stuck-up nobleman who's fond of murder but I don't like getting blood on my suits.'

[extendedbrutalpipemurder]

I'm indifferent to murder, generally.

[ the rest sounds about right, though he isn't noble. ]
