okay, tell me again what's so special about a hot springs?
they make hot water pools.
that's it?

you got a few screws loose if you think it's better than real TREES and FRUIT.

[ But, she's not going to be completely throwing the other choices under the bus... ]

at least go for the GPS. that's actually valuable.

They might not recall the time the gods tainted the food.

[bluffed]

are you serious?
and everyone here kisses their ass?

[synthedick]

In all fairness, it wasn't every god who tainted the food. Only the ones left after Hope decided to take a break from providing food in the first place.

[bluffed]

so she takes a vacation day and everything goes to shit. got it.

this - who was it again.... - sorrow. right sorrow seems like an okay guy if he's going to bring trees. pandora NEVER had trees so... yeah, the more the merrier.

[synthedick]

The problem is that we're probably not going to like the sort of things this Sorrow does to us.

[bluffed]

we're not going to like anything they have to say or give us unless it's a way home, right?

[synthedick]

Probably not. Even assuming they're trying to accommodate us, something seems to go wrong every time.

[bluffed]

so, who you gonna vote for? given that we're screwed no matter what.

[synthedick]

Sorrow. Though Love sounds like the most positive of the three choices we were given in name alone, and what Confusion is offering sounds tempting, I'd rather us have a source of food other than the monsters and the gods, something that anyone can help with.

[And he says that as someone who doesn't even need to eat. Thinking of everyone else -- that's Nick Valentine.]

But like you said, we're damned if we do, and damned if we don't here. At the end of the day, we're still being used by these gods, and whatever they give us has a price tag attached.

[bluffed]

pretty solid logic you got.

[ Compliment for the ol' robobrain, Nick. ]

luckily, they can't afford me. :) [ Do these gods have 10 million dollars? PHAHAHA, doubt it. ] i'm more excited to see what we can get for the fruit. i'm not much of a glutton - didn't have much to gluttonize back home, but i'll take whatever the hell i can get

[synthedick]

Beggars can't be choosers. So long as it doesn't turn people into cannibalistic monsters, it'll be an improvement over what the gods could be offering.

[bluffed]

i've been begging my whole life, man, i know how it is.

[ poor fi. ]

gotta have some optimism on it, if we don't we'd be stuck with a stupid hot spring and no resources. let's go team trees?

Uh, ignore that accidental click to grant access. >>

[synthedick]

If I ever bump into you at the bar, I'll drink to that.

[Not that he needs to drink either, but it's the expression that counts. Just go with him on this.]

it's ok, bb, grant me that access

[bluffed]

sweet. never will turn down a drink.
name's fiona

[ She's going. Soooo going. ]

[synthedick]

Nick Valentine.

[bluffed]

how long have you been here?

[synthedick]

Too long. Got to be coming up on half a year now, if my internal clock isn't off.

[bluffed]

[ She thinks he means figuratively, how cute. ]

that .. really sucks. anyone from home show up yet?

[synthedick]

[You just wait, Fiona. You just wait.]

Not yet, and I'm hoping it stays that way. This place isn't as bad as it could be, but it's not something I'd wish on anyone just yet.

[bluffed]

don't you get lonely, though? call me selfish, but the only people i'm stuck with here don't remember everything we've been through.

and they're kind of nerds.

[synthedick]

I've got the connections I've made here to keep me company.

[Friends, even. Practically family, in one case. That's kind of new for Nick, given what a lonely life he had back home, being the only prototype synth out there, and generally the only synth anyone trusted to any degree.]

There a reason they don't remember what all you've been through? The Door pulling them from different times, maybe?
