[So Kirk has some very questionable survival instincts and hit on Ivy so she turned around and pheromoned him into thinking that everyone is stalking him. No one really is but you won't be able to convince him of that.]


Don't you people have anything better to do besides follow someone around and break into their room?

[Edited in like an hour later, this is a different voice. It's Spock's. He's killed incapacitated Kirk for a little while.]

The Captain is currently unavailable. Please direct your inquiries towards me.

I'm not. She and I have already discussed her treatment of this issue. I know the full extent of his affect -- and he won't be harming anyone in his current state, or harming himself. Which is, sadly, progress from the last incident.

Also, Mr. Kirk was warned what could occur if he continued to pursue her, and chose to ignore me. I believe the onus, at this time, falls to Mr. Kirk for being told not to treat Ivy with disrespect, ignoring those warnings and is now reaping what he sows.

[bitteraftertaste]

So it's perfectly acceptable for her to do this to anyone instead of communicating with them like an adult? Mr. Kirk might not have made the most mature decision here, but that hardly makes it acceptable for her to use her abilities in a way that could harm others.

[lastincident]

Could harm, but didn't. Still progress. At this point, frankly, I'm glad he's simply having a bad high instead of dead. At the moment, I'll take what in can get in progress.

And considering his habit with treating women as sexual conquests [ at least from the network discussion he's seen, Kirk's not exactly comported himself well] he needs to learn that certain behaviors are unbecoming of a warden, and potentially dangerous.

Now he knows. Hopefully that'll be an end to it.

[bitteraftertaste]

And, as someone who's already been exposed to Mr. Kirk's idea of flirting, I can say with some amount of confidence that he knows when to back off when someone is clearly uninterested. It's annoying, immature, and I'd love him to get to the point where he'll learn to move on from it, but unless he was trying to force himself on her, that doesn't justify her behavior at all.

Frankly, between your reaction to this and considering I've never heard a peep of apology from either you or Ivy about what happened, I don't think he's the only one who should be rethinking what's becoming of a warden.

[ brow. arch. ]

She didn't speak to you... at all? After that? [ WELP. ]
Yes, there's more I need to do. [ Goddamn it Ivy. ]

My apologies. I had thought that was taken care of. It seems it wasn't.

[ AND THEY WERE DOING SO GOOD. ]

[bitteraftertaste]

No, it wasn't. And while I can acknowledge this is "progress", perhaps you've done all you can with her if you're willing to accept this as the best she's ever going to do when confronted with unwanted attention, sexual or otherwise.

[lastincident]

She's been here nearly three years, and I am much more familiar with the abuses she's had in systems like this than you are -- I'm sorry if it seems flippant, considering, but I'm not willing to give up on her.

I also need to go find her. Apparently our last discussion is incomplete. Excuse me.

[ And off he goes. ]

[bitteraftertaste]

[Nope, sorry Bruce, someone else is tired of being victimized by the men in her life too, so you're getting a reply. B(]

I wasn't suggesting you should, merely that perhaps you should reconsider your approach.

[And now she's done.]

[lastrat]

Are you bloody joking?

[lastincident]

No. Though I've just been informed that there was--ssomething lacking in the previous incident. If you'll excuse me, I need to have another word with my inmate.

[lastrat]

You do that.

And the next time she decides to have a go at someone, treat it a little less lightly.
