XPatron: But this is nothing like what I ordered!
Corinne: So?
Travis: Her career plan is to find someone who can afford her and sleep with him? ... does that work?
Lena: Sure, it works. Until he gets bored, killed, broke, or makes an enemy that thinks of girlfriends as targets.
Travis: Ah.
Lena: I'll stick with getting an education. It's not quick, or easy, or cheap... but once I get it, nobody can take it away from me.
Elroy: I gotta plan too!
Travis: Oh? And what's that?
Elroy: I'm gonna be a starship pilot! ... someday. I mean, you're supposed to have all kinda special schooling for it, and mostly they only let rich kids in... but if you work really, really hard, that won't matter, right?
Travis: Uh... I rode a starship to Karimi once. Bet you can't guess which kind.
Elroy: Oh, oh! Was it a Raptor? Or weren't you in the service yet? If you were civilian it was probably a Nevvy 262 --
Lena: Nice save, Blue.

Happy Halloween, everyone, even if it's a holiday which for me has always been overshadowed by having my birthday the next day.
For those inclined to gifting, I gladly accept comments. There are more than three of you reading this, right? Prove it.
