What were your retirement plans?

[defensemechanisms]

Minding me own business and fixing steel pipes.

Why?

[kaijuice]

Curiousity - A friend once took up bartending. I've often wondered how he chose.

[defensemechanisms]

That friend of yours a soldier? What'd he do before?

[kaijuice]

We fought together. A miner, before that.

[defensemechanisms]

Seems like it makes a bit of sense, then
Camaraderie, something to do with your hands, a way to be social in a comfortable environment without the need to actually go out and meet people. Can be a bit hard to do that when you're used to being locked into a structure.

[kaijuice]

I believe you've the measure of him,

[ sort of. vander's not the point. ]

Never did care to be alone. Too late to ask whether it worked.

[defensemechanisms]

Sorry, now that we've trailed to the conclusion of this particular thought

Who are you and did you want something

[kaijuice]

Bunk four, one eye. Consider me slow to the welcome wagon.

[defensemechanisms]

Ah
Cheers
Consider me feeling extremely welcomed
Wouldn't have minded a fruit basket, though, if I'm honest

[kaijuice]

The apples of my eye are regrettably halved. The situation is bananas. Etcetera.

[defensemechanisms]

D'you know something mate
That is the impressively least committed I've ever seen anyone be to puns they were actively making
Well done

[kaijuice]

Orange you glad I didn't have more?

[defensemechanisms]

Do one with a berry

[kaijuice]

Only for good behaviour.

[defensemechanisms]

No worries
I'll be berry good.
