dragging him kicking and whining

[hforhologram]

Aha, so you've come crawling back to me, have you? Pa-thetic. Absolutely pathetic. Don't think I'm going to just fall all over myself to get back to existing again, I can do just fine without you, smeg for brains.

[And if I make it an order?]

....sorry, what?

[As Lister says, YOU actually care about all of that ordering around.]

Just...just shut up. Stop it.

[Ah, there's your voice. I knew you could do it.]




I will get you for this.

Be careful, muns are notorious for being cruel, calculating, devious smeggers with no morals or scruples.

...I mean that in a bad way, of course.

[hforhologram]

[nose wrinkling in distaste] One would think I would get along with them splendidly.

If you say you're that smegging Ace Rimmer...

[ajrimmerssc]

Good god, no! Why would you even think that?! Do I look like I have a big poncy hairdo and bacofoil trousers? Use your eyes, me.

[hforhologram]

Well...

No, course not. [Whew.] So another me then? [cue smarmy grin] Good to see you, Mr. Rimmer sir. If I might say, you are looking quite well.

[And a salute]

[ajrimmerssc]

Yes indeed, Iron Balls.

[Oh, the smarmiest. So much smarm, you could spread it on a smarm sandwich the size of Ganymede.]

So. Still stuck as a soft-light hologram, then?

[hforhologram]

[grumpy sigh]

Yes. Still dead, still a hologram. Still stuck in space with a man who uses his shirts for napkins.

[Wait a minute...he experimentally tries a hand through the other man.] You mean, you're not??

[ajrimmerssc]

[Your hand, sir, shall not pass!]

Noperooni. Got a lovely little upgrade thanks to a certain homicidal gestalt entity. Don't want to spoil the surprise, though.

Don't worry, it'll happen to you eventually. Maybe. Alternate universes, dodgy stuff, things could change.

[hforhologram]

What?! But...but that's not fair!

[Oh great, Captain Whine is back.]

I'm you, I should have a hard light drive too!

What about the astronav exams? I suppose you've passed those too?

[ajrimmerssc]

Erm...

Yes. Yes of course I have, passed them first go around. Are you telling me you didn't?

[hforhologram]

...did I say that? [DENIAL IS A RIVER IN EGYPT] I was just merely...seeing if you had.

In fact, I made it up to Captain of the Red Dwarf by now.

[ajrimmerssc]

[Ah, two lying weasels, lying to each other. Good times.]

Captain? Is that all? You need to aim a bit higher, I've made admiral.

These guuuys <3

[hforhologram]

I meant Captain Admiral....first class. [And making up ranks. This is pathetic.] Ahhh, doesn't matter, we're here now. We'll have this place ship shape in no time with two of us.

[And so far NO Lister showing his face. Life is good.]

Two Rimmers in one place = horribleness <3

[ajrimmerssc]

[It really is pathetic. There's lying, and then there's lying to yourself.]

Yes indeedy! We've got nowhere to go but up, up, up!

this can only end in tears lol

[hforhologram]

Absolu-mont. This internet space is lucky to have two such officers.

[He rubs his hands together gleefully]

First, we start painting over the comm with military gray....
