While I never say no to action figures, I didn't get you guys anything, sorry.

[Private to Flynn]

Flynn, Eugene, I'm going to call you whatever one pisses you off more when you make me mad, so it doesn't really matter.

I'm Jim Kirk, I'm your Warden.

Questions?

[Private to Shego]

Didn't you say you have your own bathroom?

So what, do you usually judge your partners' beauty products? That's kind of warped.

Re: Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I usually don't see them and so no judgement is made.

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

So why do you think you could make it this time if uou have no frame of reference?

...

Whatever, if it makes you feel better you can throw a bottle of your cheap body wash for scaly losers in my bathroom.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

Maybe I'll just use yours.

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Maybe that was my plan all along. If I left some semi-decent shampoo in there d'you think you might use that too?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

What's wrong with my shampoo?

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Sixty per cent of the time your hair looks like you scalped a tribble.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

What about the other forty?

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Passable.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I draw the line at dressing me, just so you know.

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

I'm pretty sure you can shave without hurting yourself as well.

Saw you got paired with the Ren Faire reject. Talked to him yet?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

Yeah, he seems alright.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Huh.

I guess trying to negotiate trades is frowned on, right?

Re: Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I wouldn't trade even if it wasn't.

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Not with you specifically. I'd take anybody, so long as I didn't want to punch them in the throat every time they talked.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

Is is really that bad?

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Yes. Ugh, he's just...I wouldn't care if he was just knowingly, maliciously telling me lies. I could deal with that. But no, he's just delusional. He believes things that are not true.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

Like what?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Well, okay. He's a treasure hunter, right? Goes on private expeditions, robs tombs, whatever. We were discussing his final outing, he told me straight out how much he values the life of his men, then I go and look in his file. There's an anecdote in there all about how he had to make the choice between his lieutenant and his retirement fund aaand he just went ahead and threw her to her death.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

So have you confronted him about the lies?

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

I dunno what the point is. He's so totally invested in this fiction he's invented about himself that anything I say based on 'facts' or 'his own life history' just bounces straight off him.

Re: Private

[captain_jtkirk]

Maybe go along with it then. See if he traps himself in a corner.

Re: Private

[gotgreenmagic]

It won't help. I just don't understand.

Re: Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm not sure what to tell you. If it was easy, he wouldn't be here.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Not entirely sure that's true, but okay. I just need to complain about stuff sometimes.
