For anyone who's curious, the Once-ler's gone. Off my item, door's normal and everything. [Trip just sounds... tired. Resigned. Because lol this is inmate NUMBER SEVEN and he's been here for forever and he just wants to go home, why does he have such shitty luck.] Anyway, if anyone's excited about it, take it somewhere else. I'm really not in the mood to hear about it.

[AND MOVING RIGHT ALONG by getting down to business:]

There're inmate positions available on the Maintenance and Repair crews, and in the engine room, if anyone's interested. We do background checks with your wardens before lettin' anyone start working, but you don't need to have a background in either of 'em to volunteer. Get in touch with me or Shego for the engine room, or me or Dean for Maintenance if you've got questions.

Anyway, it's been a while since we've had a movie night. I was thinking somethin' along the lines of Aliens, but if anyone's got any suggestions, lemme know. Tonight in the common room on level six, if people are interested.

I'm sorry he's gone, Trip.

[Not that he's been counting but it seems like you've made an awful lot of posts like this bro. :c]

[SO MANY Merlin do you want to watch Titanic and weep with him. :c]

Me, too. Maybe he'll be back sometime. [There's always hope, right?] How've you been, Merlin?

[MAYBE. :C]

Not bad, thanks. How was - did you get off at the last port?

[It's a good movie you'll love it.]

Nah. Thought about it, but it kinda sounds like a good thing I didn't. I mean, it woulda been cool to see Gotham City, but not like that. [:|]

[Are there icebergs in space though.]

I just wish I could have been there to help the others.

...although I'd have probably spent the whole thing trying to stop Reaver killing anyone, so, maybe for the best that neither of us went.

[You never know, POSSIBLE BREACH IDEA?]

Probably. I know what you mean, though. Been a while since we've had anything close to an away mission.

Is that what you called things like that in... [He knows where you work. Give him a second.] ....Star Fleet?

Yeah. We'd send a team down to a planet or a moon or somethin', usually with some goal in mind, like getting samples or contactin' whoever was down on the planet, but sometimes we'd get a little sidetracked.

Sounds like home. You can't move for the sidetracks, really.

Nope. The ones that don't end up with everyone in mortal peril can be kinda fun, though.

Do those happen?

[Merlin your life.]

Once every couple months. [He's mostly kidding, they have a better track record than you and the prat. :C]

[Oh good :C]

So what's 'Aliens' about?

...

Or is that just...obvious.

It's a sequel to Alien. The first one's about a crew of a space ship that kinda accidentally gets this hostile alien life form on board that kills everyone but one woman and the cat, and the sequel's about them going back to the planet where they found it. [It's awesome. C:]

That doesn't make much sense.

Well, Ripley didn't wanna go back, but the company she was working for didn't really believe her when she told 'em what happened, so they sent people to colonize and you know. Got concerned when they stopped hearin' from them.

[These people sound stupid and he would have just crossed that entire planet off the map and found a better one.]

And this time there's...more than one alien?

[But then there wouldn't be a movie, Merlin. :C]

Yeah, there's a whole colony of 'em. It's a classic, probably one of the best sequels ever made. [Excluding Bride and Son of Frakenstein, obviously, because they're inherently superior.]

Suppose I'll have to come and see it for myself then.

I'll let you pick the movie next week, if you hate it.
