Assuming you had a point to reaching out, leave a message regarding said point. If I think it's worth my time, I'll get back to you. If not...

[Relief.]

something wrong or something better

[everswirlingtoilet]

Better. So it must be a mistake

[tucky]

did you get a full bathroom

[everswirlingtoilet]

How did you know?

[tucky]

because you disappeared from my item!!!!

it's not a mistake it means you graduated Nick

[everswirlingtoilet]

Fuck off.

[So yeah, he's highly skeptical.]

[tucky]

no i'm serious you want to come see

[everswirlingtoilet]

Okay. I guess. Where are you?

[tucky]

my cabin but i can come to yours if you want

[everswirlingtoilet]

Stay put.

[It won't be long before she hears a sharp rap on her door.]

[tucky]

It's open!

[She says, right before throwing the door open herself, her iPod-shaped item ready for him to look over.]

See? The thing that usually says you're alive and not in Zero or whatever - it's not there anymore!

[everswirlingtoilet]

[He stares at her iPod-y thing for a moment.]

Technical malfunction?

[tucky]

Nick.

[everswirlingtoilet]

What? This whole ship is a major malfunction.

Wouldn't I feel different if I graduated?

[tucky]

Do you feel exactly the same as you did when you first came here?

[everswirlingtoilet]

Not exactly, no.

[tucky]

Then you feel different, right?

[everswirlingtoilet]

...yeah, obviously, that would be true. But I don't feel hugely different.

[tucky]

Then I guess you didn't need to hugely change.

[everswirlingtoilet]

That doesn't sound right...but I'm not going to argue the point.

So now what?

[tucky]

You tell me. Do you wanna go home and use your deal, or do you wanna stay and get another one? Or both; you can do both.

[everswirlingtoilet]

I gotta go home. I know time doesn't work the same here but it feels like I've been gone a long time and I gotta go fix things.

[tucky]

[She smiles.]

Then it sounds to me like you don't gotta ask "Now what?", 'cause you already know.
