"Oh, Jesus. When are you from? We had some close calls on my Earth but we didn't get blown up yet." He really hopes he doesn't have some extra fun circumstances to look forward to if he ever ends up back home.

"Sucks that you had to leave your family behind, but... if you have more people now, then at least I guess you managed to make the most of it. I mean, that's great. It sounds like you're doing pretty okay? Who've you met?"

"Hope County, Montana. Y'know, Earth?" Because he has to make sure of that, which is just life on the ship. "But I wouldn't worry about it. There's lots of Earths out there, and plenty of 'em made it past 2018 without any Collapse or World War III or whatever you wanna call it."

He thinks, anyway?? Oh well.

"Oh, yeah, I'm -- doin' pretty good. Ummm, TBH, kinda like it here better than back home, up to but not includin' the random acts of violence we gotta pull to charge things up." Look at him, turning down the enthusiasm on his "this ship is amazing and y'all are dumb for not seeing it" opinion. "So, IDK if you know 'em, but like -- Pratt, for one, he and I used to be antagonistic as fuck back home, but then he died and I showed up here then he showed up here and it's really put shit in perspective. So he's like my best bro. And then Giles... and obviously Ossie, hahaha, you don't get one without the other. Then there are all the hotties -- Marc, Max, Flan, Ava, not so much allowed to say that one now that she's happily wedded but man she is a smokeshow right???"

Time to take a breath. "Y'know, so like, a lot of people. Marc's not here anymore. Neither's Clarke..." :( "But so long as I got Giles and Pratt, I think I'm gonna be okay. What about you? How long have you been here, anyway? I don't think I've seen you around before, believe me, I'd remember you."

Phil, at least, can reasonably sympathize enjoying a murder cruise better than the nuclear apocalypse for the sake of safe and reliable food, water, a bed, and company. It's much easier to think when you have all those bases covered.

And then Sharky asks how long he's been here, and--

"Oh!" Phil barks a laugh. "Oh, I'm sorry, that's--that's my fault, I forgot that I..." He clears his throat, then holds out his hand. "I'm Phil. I've been here for a year and a half now. Sorry, I know I don't usually look like this."

"Ooooh. Shapeshifter?" He nods like that explains everything. "Damn, you've been here like..." He does a quick calculation on his fingers and is visibly staggered by the results, "Like as long as me??? Whaaaaaat? I totally know who you are then, just like -- not like this."

He squints as he actively attempts to translate furry features into human ones. He's pretty good at this after years of playing "name that fursona" in the drunk tank with Pratt...
