You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

I overslept, so I started taking meetings at home whole shoving breakfast in my face, then I came to work to go to more meetings and for lunch. Now I'm trying to make slides.

I'm so sorry Scrappy.

And speaking of lunch, the only problem I have with pho is that I end up wearing it. Okay, I have two problems with pho: that I end up wearing it, and also that it's too delicious so I eat twice as much as I should.

Togarashi and Sriracha sauce are good for clearing your sinuses, though.

Because books.

I'm so sorry, Scrappy. He sounds wonderful.

Today it was my office cafeteria, but I've heard Tank Noodles in Uptown is good. Or Pho 777. Argyle probably is the place to go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Scrappy. I'm sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I'm kinda shell-shocked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Scrappy, that's awful. How long have you had him?

I'm assuming selective memory is a subconscious thing, because I'm not sure why I have to remind some people of the exact same thing over and over again, sometimes multiple times a day. It's an important thing--pretty fucking critical to work, but it keeps being forgotten.

Unless that fact goes in a very specific part of the brain, and that part is broken, so...oops, it fell out again.

Two co-workers started a conversation about my drawing while I was on the phone (including "I'm wondering if she can draw something for me...") and made me miss a huge bit of the conversation. Yet I didn't hear the key bit of what they were saying about me either.

I think I'm going to take an hour's lunch. But I have to work out where to spend it. Handicapped parking spots are so obvious.
