004 // The Stand \\ Voice

[A pause as he makes sure the voice function is what he actually turned on. His voice is a little soft and the usual sarcastic tone is missing.]

I'm not sure how many..worlds have this but...Happy Father's Day to past, present or future dad's.

[There's a bit of silence before Dwight just shuts off the feed.]

Oh! That's today.

[She looks down slightly, she's currently missing her family, both fathers included.]

I guess we could still celebrate it here.

Yeah, all day long.

[That...is sadly a very common thing around here.]

Ever heard the thing about 'it's the thought that counts'?

I have. It's a common quote on earth.

Then, just that fact you wanna celebrate it? That should be enough for any dad. Present or not.

Of course. Hm, maybe then I should make something to celebrate, or buy something.

Well most of the stuff here is free. Just...show that little mark thing you got when you arrived here.

You mean the one I found on my stomach?

That's the one.

...you're new here, right?

Yes, in a matter of speaking. Though not as new compared to others.

So a while? Are you settled in alright?

[What? he's not worrying at all...]

Just a couple of months at best.

[Nothing to worry about.]

...That's still a long time away from home.

Hey...if you ever need anything? Just call me. It was sort of what I did in my world.

You helped people? That's a wonderful thing to do.

[Small shrug.]

Hey, no one else was going to do it.

Still it's admirable.

Thanks, kid.

....not a lot of people say that sort of thing.

I can't see why. Helping people is the best thing a person can do after all.

Ideally it is...but when you help people that no one else wants to. That's when you just take what you can get.

Would you like to explain what you mean?
