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?

no subject
chell and wheatley got married in the most glorious Sensorium ceremony the universe had ever seen and wheatley wore the most beautiful bowtie and GLaDOS was the shotgun-toting maid of honor and they had the biggest cake to ever exist in the history of forever and it was magical and there were companion cubes everywhere and singing turrets and no neurotoxin or murder at all and cave johnson cried the endTen years was plenty of time to come to terms with a few things, even for someone as doggedly stubborn as Chell. Now in her mid-thirties, she had more-or-less resigned herself to a life aboard Stacy, but hey, at least it wasn't a life trapped in Aperture with omnipotent robots hellbent on murder. It was better now that she wasn't fighting someone else's war, anyway. Knowing she would never be a test subject again was also a plus.
Having worked very hard to put the events of Aperture behind her, most of her time was spent on all the things she missed out on due to being trapped in a lab for most of her life. As a result, she managed to shake at least some of her social awkwardness (even if she was still more comfortable around robots, even ones that tried to kill her). SURPRISE. She wasn't entirely mute after all.
One thing, however, hadn't changed. Now that there was actual food on board, you could bet your ass Chell baked a mean cake.
