.072 - a hostile (not) takeover

[captain_jtkirk]

[Much like when the Admiral makes an announcement, Kirk's voice permeates the entire Barge. Though unlike the Admiral, this voice is pretty easy to pin down. And it's glaringly obvious that it isn't the Admiral.]

Attention people of the Barge, this is Jim Kirk speaking. It's just two things so I'll be brief. The Admiral's not flying this thing right now and you people better start looking for your swimsuits.


[ooc: And this has started! By now Kirk has set their course for Risa. No going back now, suckers. He sealed the way behind him, just fyi]

[Yeah, a bitch who tried to save your life, think about that. :|]

Oh sure, like I was gonna light the fuse on what is happening right now. At least credit me with basic common sense, Kirk.

[captain_jtkirk]

[He will, but right now he's mad about the lying >|]

And maybe I would've taken it better from you instead of him.

[gotgreenmagic]

Oh, now this is my fault?

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm just saying you have no idea how I would've reacted.

[gotgreenmagic]

Yeah, except for how you totally asked me about my plans the last time it hit the fan. Or how 'leap before doing literally anything else' is pretty much your entire personality!

[captain_jtkirk]

Bite me, you should've said something.

[gotgreenmagic]

Whether or not you'd found out three weeks ago or three days ago wouldn't have changed a goddamn thing. You will not pin this on me.

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm not. You still should have told me.

[gotgreenmagic]

What do you want from me? Fine, I'm sorry I didn't elect myself the bearer of the Admiral's bad news, but you would have used me and stolen from me whether I had or not.

[captain_jtkirk]

I didn't actually come over with that specific intent.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

And I am supposed to believe that how?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I didn't.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

You just happened to realize that you enough time to break the safe in my apartment while I was showering. How stupid do you think I am?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I shouldn't have gone behind your back but I couldn't just do nothing.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

Yes, actually, you totally could. The Barge sucks, you find a way to deal with it. How did the last - nearly three years leave you somehow oblivious to that?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

This isn't just that it's a shitty place to live. I graduated an Inmate for that bastard and he basically doesn't care.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

So he's an asshole who cares more about contracts than people. Again, this should not be a surprise to you.

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

What would you have done if he'd told you that you couldn't leave after you'd graduated?

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

I would have been mad as hell and then I would have handled it.

What does this change, Kirk? What exactly does this make better? You know you can't get off the Barge and stay off so why even bother?

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I don't care if it changes anything. It was better than just sitting around and bitching and moaning like we all do every single time something bad happens.

Private

[gotgreenmagic]

'Better'?

You're gonna have to explain your logic to me. Dumber, I get. More thoughtless? Sure. More selfish? Absolutely. By what possible measurement was it better to steal from me, screw over Trip and -

Aaargh!

Private

[captain_jtkirk]

I don't need a lecture, Shego. I'm not coming down and we're going to a nice, relaxing beach.

Private

YOU THINK I WANT YOU TO COME DOWN? YOU THINK I'M MAD AT YOU FOR TAKING OVER THE SHIP? IF YOU'D DONE IT ANY OTHER WAY I'D BE CHEERLEADING ALL THE WAY TO RISA, YOU BLIND STUPID FUCKING--

[There's a sort of hissing/crackling noise and even if you wanted to continue this conversation, you can't, because she just set her communicator on fire. :c]
