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?

He even smiled occasionally. In public, no less.

It was nice having him around more, though. Especially considering what a handful their children were, naturally.
In fact it was relatively normal for her to come to him with a squirming toddler in her arms, looking a little harassed.
"Leon, can you take your monster child for two seconds?" She doesn't wait for him to answer, passing the little boy off to her father and giving him a slightly strained smile. "We have a new game, it's called pull Mommy's hair until the hair tie falls out because someone thinks it's funny." Obviously that someone is not Claire, as she tries to get her hair back into control.
