It's below freezing.

[dropoffs]

We have supplies where that won't be an issue.

[roseoftexas]

Does that include a portable heater?

[dropoffs]

It should, but you can buy wares down on the planet. It'll be deducted from your stipend at the end.

[roseoftexas]

[ bleh, capitalism. ]

Maybe. But if this is the only cold planet, it might just be something more to lug around. I’ll just get a thicker coat or something.

[dropoffs]

The coats here are very efficient in terms of space and purposes. I don't care for possessions, but I did also have to acquire one to go outside.

[roseoftexas]

Mm. I found them pretty good too, especially considering they're free. Better to have one that to freeze.

[dropoffs]

I've never had to deal with the cold like this. It's an inconvenience.

[roseoftexas]

I’ve dealt with cold before, but— yeah this is something else. You used to temperate or hotter weather?

[dropoffs]

Desert with binary suns.

[roseoftexas]

…

That sounds hot as hell.

[dropoffs]

The night is also freezing.

[roseoftexas]

Basically the worst of both worlds then.

[dropoffs]

Humans there become accustomed to it over time. I adjusted quickly.

[roseoftexas]

[ ah. ]

You didn't live there originally?

[dropoffs]

No, I didn't. Space travel is familiar to me.

[roseoftexas]

[ me, not tagging them in person: who are you. ]

Travelling through space... I guess it must've been pretty nomadic.

[dropoffs]

[ help ]

They were just spores looking for a new place to propagate.

[roseoftexas]

That’s one way of putting it. But for someone who’s never even thought about going into space, it’s kinda out there.

[dropoffs]

It's better to stay on your planet.

[roseoftexas]

Normally, I don't have much say in the matter.

[dropoffs]

Dictatorship?

[roseoftexas]

[ well. i mean. looks at the world ]

… No.

Commercial space travel’s not a thing.
