[She says it with an air of obvious overconfidence. It's true that she's been to her fair share of parties in strange places, but the jury's still out on whether everything is alright.]
I visited a planet once that hadn't stopped partying for two hundred years. Spent a week there, and I'm not sure the hangover's ever gone fully away.
[The physical similarity of planets is all down to science, of course, but the real comparisons are made with the people. And from what she's seen, the people here aren't much different from those back in the good old United Kingdom.]
It's really big, though. There are parts that look like this world, parts that look more like the space station, and everything in between.

[Former planet, she thinks, unbidden.]
And no, thanks. Not feeling very thirsty tonight.

[He set the offending glass to the side, not wanting to have anymore of it. It was fine at first, but the aftertaste.]
Have you been to something like this before?
laaaate feel free to ignore

No worries!
[It would be preferable to constant war, at least.]
Tell me of your favorite planet.
no subject
[Salt mines and booze.]
And I'd have to say my home, Earth. Everything looks its best once you've left it behind.
no subject
[She wasn't wrong and the answer was a good one.]
Is Earth anything like Wyver or Olympia?

[Her planet sounded like an odd combination of all of the strange things that existed here. It made it almost impossible to imagine.]
So did you choose Olympia or Wyver?

You?
no subject
My family chose Olympia. So long as they are here, it will be my home.
[Not "home" home, but it wasn't meaningless either.]
It isn't a war I want to see.
no subject
[She seems cheered a bit by the thought.]
no subject
[But not anymore.]
Do you have family here?
no subject
Nah. They were all on my home planet. But we'd parted ways before the storm even came.

[He did his best to smile in sympathy, if only to keep a certain lightness to the conversation.]
no subject
I have a friend in stasis, but that seems to be all.
no subject
[Sometimes that could be better than family.]
I hope your friend wakes soon.
no subject
Acquaintances, mainly. A few coworkers. No one I'd stop off at the pub with, really.
no subject
We have to face the Storm together.
