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?

OH WOW MAYBE ONE DAY YOU'D BE A REAL BOY.

"As usual," she replied, twirling her sword. "It keeps everyone in shape and stops them from growing contempt."

Sofia; a glorified working teacher. Not that she really minded.

Soren could grow contempt anywhere he was like a contempt farmer hahaha no

"Hmph. I suppose it's inevitable we'll blunder into another conflict soon. The last one was a while ago." He hesitated, frowning; Sofia was one of the few who knew his little secret, so it wasn't as though he didn't have some small, understated, miniscule stake in her continued well-being.

"I heard you were injured during that last fight."

Oh wow Soren it was like you almost cared for someone who didn't have blue hair.

"I'm fine," she affirmed, touching her foot. "The healing facilities here have added tremendously and I was able to cast magic to save most of the tissue." She smiled like she meant it too. Granted back then it had been pretty gruesome.

HE DIDN'T CARE HE DIDN'T CARE AT ALL

"The facilities here may be adequate enough, but the best option is not to be injured in the first place. I do not relish the prospect of taking on an additional group of magical students."
