i was teasing you, kid. i know for a fact that you'll like my cooking. i mostly make stuff from home, but i did spend a memorable couple of weeks in a michelin starred french-trained chef's bed a couple of decades back and spent a lot of time convincing them to teach me.
yeah, i don't know that anyone brought in for the program that actually likes the whole thing, but you learn how to manage it. just make sure to go over all the paperwork. it won't stop the LIES staff from doing whatever the fuck they want, but it'll make your day-to-day a lot easier.
nah, not really. i mean, i know OF you, i'm pretty sure you live with your bio parents on the moon in my time. but you know, a lot of this shit's new for you, and someone ought to try to help you figure it all out, and i don't mind doing it.
his name keeps coming up. as someone who's been here for awhile and who has a close relationship to jean and scott.
why do you keep calling me kid? i'm not.
i don't even know how to find one.
on the moon? with jean and scott? i can't even picture that right now. but it seems like a few people here know of me, to some degree. or so i've been told.
pretty sure he's dating them back home. and he's at least dating scott here.
because i'm picking up unfortunate habits from my father and you could be my great-grandson, probably.
give yourself time, you have three months and you've only been here a couple of weeks. be social for sure, though, don't just expect one to come to you.
thankfully, we're not actually related, or it'd make our first conversation pretty fucked up, i guess. [ .. not that biology would have stopped him back in the day. romulus pretty effectively destroyed any hangups he had about anything frowned upon by society. ]
no, but i don't recommend using my method, especially if you're not a jaded, slutty masochist.
i was being facetious, i don't really have a method. he just needed a sub asap, we get along reasonably well, and i've worked with guys like him, so i went with it.
but i don't recommend just going with the first person that asks.
you have to make quota, sure, but not necessarily with your dom. some people probably don't want to mix the two. besides, i think some of the locals contract with family members or platonic friends, so it's supposedly not required.
no, but only because he'd use it to try to protect me. plus he already has three contracts, that's more than enough to juggle. i'd have contracted with my sister, though, if we weren't both subs.
they're going to love you, nate. you just need to be patient with each other. and probably also recognize that you and scott are both obstinate little shits, so you're gonna get on each other's nerves sometimes.
yeah, i'll be honest, i don't engage with him a lot. that's something you have to decide for yourself, though, and whatever you decide, keep in mind that he means well. he's a good man, but he's been through a lot and he's a fucking idiot about it.
i'm not exactly x-men material, though i did have a brief moment a couple of years back. i've done a lot of shitty things, though, so i'm not really the sort of person you'd want on a public-facing team everyone on the planet sees.

no offense but i can barely handle having two people i'm related to being here. i don't know if i could handle more.
is that how you found yours?

if he ever changed his mind, though, i'd be fine with it.
