A crew? Allison look around. We're stuck together but that doesn't make anyone around here anything. Why do you think we all keep fighting each other?

[He shakes his head.]

You can't start asking what would have been. You weren't the one in trouble. You're not the one pissing off robots.

[allyisun]

Well, we should be a crew! [She throws her hands up, feeling frustrated about everything, in particular her inability to do anything useful to help people.]

A real one! Where even if we don't like each other we sort it out like sane adults with shitty coworkers instead of killing people! And we look after each other!

[Cursing, she covers her face with her hands.]

I don't want you to get hurt more.

[takeitslow]

You can't just ask that of people brought together against their will. Sometimes people are just too different to be forced to get along. And they've brought some really bad people here while giving us no way to deal with them.

[He sighs. This was always going to happen, whether with him and Rinzler or someone else. It had happened with someone else before, would happen again. And while part of him didn't care, because he didn't care about any of it as long as it didn't effect his family or friends, he felt it was the reality they had to get used to.

With the kind of people that had been brought here, things would never be truly peaceful.]

I'm not. You don't have to worry about that. I'm going to be fine.

[allyisun]

Yes I can! If you get stuck in a situation you've gotta learn to work together so you can get out of it! [That's how a million movies go. Work together or die. Life can be like movies!] And if you can't get along then you keep your distance. And if we work together we can deal with the bad people...

[Her bluster slowly drains out, her voice going soft and quiet.]

You better not. Pinkie promise.

[takeitslow]

That's bull. When have people ever learned to work together in a situation like this? [This isn't a one of those heart warming specials, this has more in common with a horror movie.

He sighs, but holds out his hand for her with the pinkie stretched out.]

I promise. I'll be fine.

[allyisun]

Like, the dawn of civilization? People working together is how we all exist.

[Okay so it's a lot more complicated than that, but-

She hooks her pinkie with Peter's and gives it a firm shake.]

You better be. Otherwise I'm going to kick your whole ass. And make all your drinks wrong. And give you a hug.

[Carefully, she makes good on that last threat.]

[takeitslow]

And what did civilization do? Fan out, make some people worth less than others and then steal a bunch of other people's land. The world so does not work together. On anything. We just had, like, two wars proving that.

[He shakes it again, a quick and shaky movement before he drops his hands back in his lap.]

You don't already make my drinks wrong? I kind of thought you skimped on my requests for added sugar. And ew. No hugs, I'm not four.

[He lies. He likes hugs.]

[allyisun]

Stop being such a cynic, you're making me depressed. Just because some people mess it up doesn't mean that for the most people aren't capable of co-operation...

[She huffs.]

I don't make all your drinks wrong. So shut up and take your hugs like a man.

[takeitslow]

[He disagrees, and it shows on his face. But he keeps that thought to himself. Let Allison have her optimism, even as wrong as he thinks it is. At least someone ought to be happy with the world.]

Just, like, 80% of the time. [He comes close to sticking his tongue out at her.] Ugh. Fine. Just not in front of people. I have a reputation.

[allyisun]

[Time for a long, long sigh. And more hug.]

You're lucky you're injured right now or I'd noogie your ridiculous grey mop right off.

[takeitslow]

Hey, plenty of people happen to like my hair, okay? It's cool.

[allyisun]

Still ridiculous.

[Just gonna keep hugging this dumb until she feels reassured.]
