I don't see why not. I mean...from my understandin', we may not be stayin' here when we're worldhopping, but we will be all around that? And it's not like we have anythin' better to do, man.
[ dave drops to a crouch, examining the base of the house here. ]
Exactly. But it'll be sort of exciting to travel don't you think? Even if we aren't sure how long we will be gone, it's something to think about. [While Dave's doing that, John's walking along the edge of the pool looking for any signs of how the water's flowing in or changed out.]
Do you think if we fling the crabs off of the island and into space they'd catapult back, too?
Okay but you agree it's still worth a shot, right? Maybe the crabs won't have the same impact we do because they're lighter so their pull to the planet isn't as much. [That's not really how science works but okay.]
We're not going to know until we try, so why not try? [A bright grin.] Plus, actually, it might be worth testing if it is a native versus invader thing. We do not know the possibilities of that either.
Awesome. [And back he goes to examine the pools.] If there are grates that's letting the water in, we just need to make the passages smaller. Or. How high do you think crabs can climb?
Okay, well, we are not in a Disney movie so let's think about real crabs? We could build walls that they couldn't climb or jump over but the water can still pass over the top of them. That might be a good solution, too.
[He elbows him in the ribs.] Shut up, no more Oz references. [Good thing this is before their conversation about his sister being squashed by a fucking house.] And I'm sure. If I can get a look at the bottom of the pool and avoid the crabs we should get a better idea of where they came in from, especially if there's a crack or something we aren't seeing. Unless you have a better idea?
My shorts will dry faster than your jeans, I think. [He's already working off his shoes and his socks. This is like twelve kinds of bad ideas, but okay.] Can you draw something for me really fast?
I can do that. [ he will sketch it in the air. goggles, too, although they're not prescription strength so he just makes it so they can. go over john's glasses.... ] ...Why though?

Not really. My only plan was jumpin' in myself, but I'm in jeans.
