A little fun for the unplugged among us. Name one thing from your Matrix and other people can say if they heard of it in theirs. Maybe find a little common ground.

I'll start: New York City.

...the Ark of the Covenant like in the Bible? I am really curious about why you asked.

(We had Gilligan's Island.)

The Bible's the one that melts your face off, right?

and you have my deepest condolences.

[emptychamber]

It's been awhile since Sunday School, but I think it was supposed to kill you, yeah. I don't remember face-melting being specified.

Ok, look, not everything can be Masterpiece Theater.

[retrofire]

Good, because Masterpiece Theater sucks.

And the face melting was more of an Indiana Jones thing than a Sunday School thing. If it'd been a Sunday School thing, I probably would've paid more attention.

[emptychamber]

What's Indiana Jones? I don't think we have that one.

[retrofire]

I feel so bad for you right now

You can't just describe Indiana Jones. Maybe we can get some matrix time with him, sometime. Under the radar.

[emptychamber]

I would like to state for the record that I am firmly anti having my face melt off.

[retrofire]

Not a problem
You'll have the legendary Star-Lord there to protect you

[emptychamber]

Legendary, huh?

[retrofire]

The most legendary. If you haven't heard of me it's probably just because you're so new. A "floppy baby", if you will.

[emptychamber]

Is that what they settled on? I didn't keep reading long enough.

[retrofire]

Pretty sure they didn't settle on anything.

Johanna can be a little undiplomatic, should've left the poll taking to the professionals.

[emptychamber]

That's alright. My feelings are also too floppy to take much lasting damage. Like firing bullets at a pile of cooked pasta.

[retrofire]

I don't know, sounds a little messy to me.

[emptychamber]

The legendary Star-Lord, scared of a little mess?

[retrofire]

Not even close. My record's a long list of messes.

[ ... not impressive, maybe. ]

But enough about me, what's your story? All I know is that you've got that cool retro vibe going for you. And that you don't like faces melting.

[emptychamber]

Solid places to start. Why don't you buy me dinner sometime? Or whatever passes for buying a girl dinner around here.

[retrofire]

I think what you're going for is "share vegetables in the privacy of one of our completely identical bunks".

[emptychamber]

Yeah, that's the one.
