Stargazer: Hey, crew! Everyone set for ?? day?

Jeneticist: Yep, we just finished packing.

Seeker: I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.

SquidHead: Me too! I can’t believe it’s been so long since Space Con.

JazzyPlum: I’m bringing my violin.

FarfromHome: I am looking forward to hearing you perform.

Stargazer: Should we bring anything?

FarfromHome: No, I wish to provide hospitality. Simply arrive safely.

[a few hours later]

SquidHead: I’m heading to the airport.

JazzyPlum: I wish I could get there that fast.

Stargazer: Ugh, I’ll be the last one to arrive. I’m on the train. And I don’t know how I’m getting to Rancho FFH from town.

Jeneticist: We can pick you up if you tell me what time you’re arriving.

Seeker: Good idea, Jen.

Stargazer: OMG, that’s so nice of you! I’ll send my itinerary. ??

Stargazer: [departure and arrival times]

SquidHead: That is a lot of transfers. You gonna be OK, Poppy?

JazzyPlum: She’ll be tired for sure.

FarfromHome: I will not ask her to perform manual tasks while she’s here. She can rest.

Stargazer: Aw, I knew you liked me deep down! ??

FarfromHome: I am fond of everyone in the group.

SquidHead: Anyone getting pushback from their family over Friendsgiving?

Jeneticist: Me, unfortunately. ??

Stargazer: My mom nags me if she thinks I don’t hang out with real people enough, but then when I make plans, she’s all like, WHAT ABOUT OUR FAMILY?

Stargazer: It’s like, make up your mind! ??

Jeneticist: Uh, what Poppy said. That’s where I’m at too.

Seeker: My family cannot object to anything.

JazzyPlum: I am…out of touch with mine as well.

FarfromHome: My family has been decimated. I am the only one left.

SquidHead: Damn. Now I feel like a dick for complaining.

Stargazer: Me too. ??

Jeneticist: Yeah, that puts everything in perspective. Sorry.

Seeker: You’re allowed to vent. We care about your feelings.

Stargazer: OMG so cute. I ship you two ad infinitum.

Jeneticist: Uh. ??

JazzyPlum: See everyone soon! ??
