Will man in einem Haus leben, das wie ein Reibeisen aussieht? Ich könnte jetzt polemisch werden, unfair wie Karl Kraus, aber in der Substanz schon recht besitzen. Diese gegenwärtige wiener Hochhauskultur (?) ist das Gegenteil einer Wiener Moderne, weil es nicht die Besserung des menschlichen Lebens zum Ziel trägt, sondern nur noch narzistischen Kick. Widerlich. Zeitgeist, den muss man aber nicht gut finden.

Die Hochhaus-Schwammerl von Wien zu taufen macht Spaß. Ich mag die Vorstellung, dass diese Gebilde wie Titanen neben uns in der Stadt leben und Alltag haben mit ihrer Tafelrunde. Das Hochhaus mit dieser glänzenden Rüstung habe ich Galahad getauft.

#PennedPossibilities 692 — Share a song that either describes your current feelings about your story or your MC in general.

How timely, because I was just saying to @paulk @Firlefanz and @QuokkaMocha that I wish Galahad and Singh at the end of this story are having what they are having:

It is not the only story arc but a strong arc, I'd say, how a slightly awkward Earthling who wants to become a captain and a pranking rebel and non-comformist who couldn't care less (or actuively avoids) becoming a captain end up as best friends. So, yeah, that's the vibe.

#PennedPossibilities 688 — What does your MC do for a living?

At the point of the prequel, Galahad is a student of Space Navigation and Intergalactic Law. Pretty classic combination if you want to become a captain.

Universities are subsidised by the government and companies (they can then pick the best candidates for their jobs from the graduates) which means he doesn't have to work on the side if he is okay with what the university provides in terms of food and accommodation.

He also has a bit of money on the side from his 2 years of civil service duty mandatory if you want to join a university. Galahad isn't into much of the classical "fun" so he seldom digs into that.

#WordWeavers 3: Is your MC a good cook? Any special dishes?

Galahad is an okayish cook. Nothing fancy, but his mom has taught him all the necessary things about housekeeping (love that I could make that canon in the prequel), including basic cooking skills and knowlege about a balanced diet. No special dishes but he can cook a good stew with nearly everything.
In fact, the only thing that horrifies him if he thinks about his future career as a captain is that he has to eat the bland processed food that is standard on spaceships. In fact, one reason why he studies at Charkovaya University and not on Earth is that they have a decent cafeteria.
