I been thinking. I thought it was cool how the Enclosure got programmed the way it did for Bucky's party, so I was wondering if I could do that, too-- not for a party, but for a fireworks show. I don't know if any of the people here have ever been to one, but where I come from, they're real popular in the summer. You go to a big empty field at night, sit on blankets, and just... watch. Maybe bring out a keg of beer or something, I don't know. You think the Enclosure could do that?
I wanted to do it on my birthday, if things are all calmed down. Sometimes these shows can get crazy and loud with people dancing and partying, but I know I ain't in a raucous mood, and I bet I'm not the only one. So maybe a quiet one would be good right now. Something relaxing.
It'd be nice, I think.

Merlin's better. He-- it's real complicated, but he didn't mean that stuff he said. I know that nothing was making him say it, but he had those parasites in him that had him thinking it was the best thing to do, and... he regrets it. He changed his mind.
[She sounds relieved, if just a tiny bit wary. She wasn't affected by the Sha herself, and she still isn't 100% clear on what exactly it was or how it worked-- so while she's ever-trusting and wants to give her warden the benefit of the doubt, it's going to take her a week or so of him being normal for her to fully believe that he really is staying, and he really does want her as his inmate.]
I ain't mad at him. Y'all don't have to be either.
[Mason and Simon, she's looking at you.]

Hi.

[Not that she wouldn't try if it was someone she really adored, though.]
It's just gossip. Come on, you know Simon? Merlin? Dillon?

[But she grins again, not really bugged.]

Too boring to gossip.
Tell me something interesting.

Did you know there are more life forms livin' on your skin than there are people on the planet Earth?

She looks down at her arm, then up at him.]
That's bull.

[A vague, distant memory of high school science class floats into her head.]
Bacteria and shit?

[She spins around on her stool and leans back against the bar counter, examining her arm closely.]
Fucking... microscopic shit.
Nah, I don't got real bacteria on me.
[spam]
It's perfectly normal Miss Doggett. Even clean people have 'em.

[THAT'S ALL RIGHT, THEN.]
Well, I would tell you an interesting fact in return, but I don't know any.

[She scratches idly at her arm, still thinking about invisible little bugs and microbes crawling all over her.]

No, you know what? Do it anyway. I'm drunk enough for it.

This might be relevant to our present situation—I've read that time passes more slowly in outer space, so astronauts who return to earth after space travel actually come home younger than they would be had they stayed on earth.
[spam]
[That is actually pretty fascinating to her.]
I heard we don't really get older here at all, except in our heads. Is that why?
[spam]
[spam]
It don't look like we're traveling that fast when I go out on the deck. Is that because space is so huge?
[spam]
I couldn't say, I've never been in space before.
[spam]
But when I go back, whenever that will be-- it'll be the same time as when I left, right? That's how it works?
