By show of hands, how many people actually care if I keep mopping for another week?

[Private to the Admiral]

I'd like a word with you.

[A hand. No face, nothing, literally just some apartment and a hand.]

[captain_jtkirk]

Nice.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

[And now face.]

It's not like you've got any better uses for your time.

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

I have to get dressed to it.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

So what, you want to quit because you've got some important 'lying around naked' to be getting on with?

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

Maybe I'm losing sight of the point.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

The point is that you agreed to do this. Other people live here, Kirk, you might have noticed? And a bunch of them want to be here even less than you do. How do you think it's gonna look when you quit your punishment because you're bored?

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

None of them even weighed in on it.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

Maybe because they're waiting for you to screw up. Maybe because they know how selfish and dumb it is that you're even asking!

[captain_jtkirk]

I feel like the act of hijacking was infinitely more selfish and dumb.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

It was. That doesn't mean this isn't.

It's another nine days, Kirk. If you were ever actually sorry you'd just suck it up and do it.

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

Will you forgive me if I keep mopping for nine days?

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

I've already forgiven you, moron. But that was based on the assumption that you actually gave a damn about what you did and could stand to be mildly inconvenienced for a few weeks to prove it.

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

You have? [News to him, Shego. He figured no one else gave a damn :c]

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

[She gives enough damns to make up for everyone else. :|]

Still conditional on you actually keeping your word and not making me look like the naive idiot who lied when she told everyone you'd actually take your medicine, but yeah. I have.

Private/Video - why are you not on aim :c

[captain_jtkirk]

You should've just said that. [Remember dares work really well on him :c]

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

I shouldn't have to. But whatever, I'm saying it now.

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

I'm pretty sure you do have to tell people you forgive them.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

Obviously I'm not sure I do yet. Are you going to finish up your nine days?

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

Yes.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

And you get that if you demonstrate again that I can't trust you, I'm not giving you the opportunity for a third strike?

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

In relation to my punishment or for the rest of my life?

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

Both. Making extremely slight allowances for the possibility of future crazy Barge disasters.

Private/Video

[captain_jtkirk]

That's kind of unreasonable to expect no more stupid choices for the rest of my life.

Private/Video

[gotgreenmagic]

I don't really expect us to grow old together, Jim.

Be as dumb and lame as you want, just not in a way precision-engineered to screw me over. Understand?
