Friday Meme Light: Cause It's A Bittersweet Victory (Ten Years Later Thread)

The clock continues to turn on the ship.

The last years have been of turbulence, surprises and great fights, but eventually, five years ago, the Ohm were defeated and slowly, peace was restored to the entire multiverse. The crisis was averted! Congratulations!

...However rebuilding universes takes time. Energy. Power. It still might be years off before you'll get to go home, and Stacy is truly saddened about that. Call it catch 22 if you will, but at least the life on the ship is a lot more peaceful now. The farms have grown, and now there's enough in-house grown food to feed everyone who doesn't feel like eating slop or eating slop in the sensoriums every day. That's a small comfort, right? Oh sure, there's still the surprise or two on it, but now there's slowly more places to stop, and Stacy has been a lot more lenient about people getting their shots...

As they sometimes say, life will find a way to flourish, anywhere it can. My, there's a lot more bellies around the ship than before...

And maybe. One day. Far off future. You'll get to go home. But that's not now.

Ten years is a lot of time for people to grow, personalities to change and emotions to emerge. How have your characters turned out of it?

"Non-sexy adventure," he amended.

"Oh, I don't know. Apparently there's a delegation from an alien holobroadcasting network aboard, and they've demanded that we pay them in order to cross through this sector of space. That or take part in an elaborate martial arts cooking contest. I think I might join."

It was hard to tell if he was joking.

She let the book rest on her chest. "Oooh, are they looking for taste testers? Tell me they are."

He raised an eyebrow. "You want to be a judge? I think they were taking volunteers for the ship's side."

"Why not? It sounds like it could be fun." Besides, she appreciated good attempts at martial arts showings. This would count. Kind of!

"I didn't know you were gourmet. At any rate, I believe they'll be holding the contest in the mess hall."
