For those of you who might give a fuck, Jake English is gone from the bubble again.
The kid's going to earn himself a title of flighty broad, at this rate.
Maybe the third time's the charm, if our "great and powerful God" deigns to deliver him a third time.
I rather suspect that it's too busy quoting Dirty Harry at us and our delightful circumstance.

that sucks.

[He's not sure what else to say, bummed about it.]

[shippingmath]

Such is goddamn life.
You get much chance to talk with him, Egbert?

[pranksterheir]

a little. not as much as i wanted to.

[shippingmath]

It's not much consolation, but you are statistically likely to get a second chance. Eventually.
Possibly in a year.

[pranksterheir]

i hope we're not still stuck here for another year but since other people have been here for awhile, who knows.

[shippingmath]

The best I can tell you is good luck but don't hope.
I'm nearing on a year here myself.

[pranksterheir]

wow.
i guess at least there are other people here? and from home too.
i spent three years on a ship with just my sister, nanna, and dave sprite. three years stuck here with a lot more people i know sounds better if i'm going to be stuck again.

[shippingmath]

The trend seems to be for more than four people.
I won't jinx it by saying it's certain to stay that way, because who the fuck knows.

[pranksterheir]

i sort of hope so.
how did you know jake?

[He assumes that they were friends.]

[shippingmath]

We've been friends via the internet for years.
And we're in SBURB together, so shit obviously went down there.

[And they dated, but that turned into a trainwreck of epic proportions and Dirk doesn't like to talk about it much.]

[pranksterheir]

kind of like me and dave!

[shippingmath]

That's an appropriate parallel.
In multiple ways, I suspect, even if he's claimed more relation to Jade than to you, thanks to the grandmother/grandson shit.

[pranksterheir]

maybe because the four of us are the guys in our groups too.
