Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

Yeah. It's not like the Great Outdoors is totally quiet, but it's a really different kind of noise, y'know?

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

Mm...hm. Less busy, I guess.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

Yeah. Nowhere near as constant.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

Maybe the ocean will be a little like that, too...

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

Probably even less. I mean, there's no birds or bugs or leaves for the wind to pass through, right?

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

...well, there's always still birds. Just different ones.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

I thought they all stuck close to shore?

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

Oh, no, there's plenty of birds out at sea—often good swimmers, ones with special adaptations to spending most of their time offshore. I mean, I'm not an expert, I just know someone who's really into... the ocean.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

Oh, huh. That's pretty neat. The more you know, I guess. I guess they don't have much to worry about if all of the predators are underwater.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

Ah, yeah, and they can usually swim to catch fish and algae, I think. There's really very busy in the ocean, it's just, you know...

...ah, sorry, I've been off-topic. Most of this I learned from, er, I guess most people would know her as Monster Siren?

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

I don't know her, but it's an... interesting Nom de Plume. So she specializes in birds and the ocean? Is she with your Family?

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

Mostly just the ocean in general, and... er, no, she's signed to Sirens' Melodies, actually. We just know each other from. Elsewhere.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

[Oh. They dated.]

Well, sounds like she knows her stuff.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

[ yeah, ]

Mm. She's here, too... way more people here that I know than I expected.

[ she says that like it's a bad thing? ]

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

Really? I barely know anyone.

Were you expecting to just get away from it all for a bit?

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

A bit. But—really?

I mean, I guess I "know" a lot of people who've taken my classes at university, at least.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

Oh? You're a teacher? One of my old high school teachers is on this cruise. They're one of, like, three people I know here.

Sounds like some people know everyone, though.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

...like the cat café guy?

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

Exactly! How many people here are his customers? Or work for him? Even I know him from the gym...

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

Yeah, I get coffee from him sometimes...

He's really. Energetic.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

If I could bottle all of that energy and sell it...

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

It'd put him out of the coffee business.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

I always figured his customers were more into his cats, anyway.

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[getlonely]

Probably... I mean, I think I'm the only one who primarily goes for the coffee.

[ and also people usually don't try to talk to her when she's paying attention to cats. that's a plus ]

Re: HONEYGUIDE

[71lines]

The coffee's good I guess.

[Not that she was a frequent customer. Too busy at her parents' place.]
