Voicetesting and destined for lastvoyages

[force_captain]

You're a fool, dearie, if you think I'll willingly go to that cosmic rust bucket without a fight. I've had just about enough of pathetic idiots trying to control me.

And yes, I did just call you a pathetic idiot. Does that hurt your feelings? What a pity.

[with_my_teacup]

Charming. Real charming. You'll fit in just fine.

[force_captain]

[You're getting the slow once over Riddick.]

Can you blame a me for being less than pleased? If I wanted to sail the cosmos, there are far more pleasant ways to do so than by way of forcible imprisonment.

[Because she totally has a thing against imprisonment....of herself.]

[with_my_teacup]

[He spreads his hands, gives her a prim little look.] Call it a... character building exercise. Ain't those supposed to be good for you?

[force_captain]

I have more than enough character as it is, handsome. You'll see that once you get to know me.

[with_my_teacup]

Honestly, I don't really buy the entire 'redemption' thing. But it's an interesting place to regroup.

And when I say 'interesting' I mean pack the big guns, shit's fucked up.

[force_captain]

Oh, I am the big guns, dearie. It can't be any more challenging than Horde Prime on a daily basis.

[with_my_teacup]

I admire the confidence. Like I said, you'll fit in.

[force_captain]

Must be a terrrible place, then.

[Yes, indeed, she just made a purring sound with those R's.]

[with_my_teacup]

There's a woman named Selina aboard, and I honestly don't know if you'd get along or if the claws'd come out. Literally.

[force_captain]

That's not news. [She examines her nails, boredly.] I hardly get along with most other women.

[Except for Entrapta. She was okay.]

[with_my_teacup]

Really? I usually find'm more reasonable... generally speaking, maybe not specifically just this second. But you and her have a common ... style. Let's say.

[force_captain]

[Oho, brow raise.]

Is that so? [ There's a sound, like a displeased cat. Not quite a growl, but not exactly a whine.]

[with_my_teacup]

Ooh, I feel like some territory's been infringed on.

...I'm still putting my money on 'surprisingly good friends after the first fight.' Nobody'd know what hit'm.

[force_captain]

You might lose your money then. I don't do friends.

[So much distaste in that last word.]

[with_my_teacup]

'No such thing as friend.' Hmm, I feel like I've heard someone say that before.

[force_captain]

I never said there wasn't any such thing. I said I don't keep any.

[with_my_teacup]

Yeah, feeding them and walking them's a big responsibility.

[force_captain]

Friends are a liability. They can be used against you. I know, I've used them against others before. It's so easy.

[with_my_teacup]

They're an asset, too. Took me a while to get around to that part, tho.

[force_captain]

I've never seen the benefit. They're like fish in a barrel. Easily targeted and picked off.

[with_my_teacup]

That's why I usually pick sharks.

[force_captain]

Friends with teeth? Do you enjoy being bitten? Because that will inevitably happen.

[with_my_teacup]

[His rumbling laugh bares his own teeth] Depends who's doing the biting.

[force_captain]

I prefer to be the one doing the nibbling in my rrrelationships.

[with_my_teacup]

A good relationship's all about give and take. [He runs a tongue idly down one canine tooth, and then hides that animalistic gesture behind an innocent, civilized little smile.]

[force_captain]

And I'll just bet you give as good as you take, don't you, handsome? [She saw what you did there, Riddick. Color her intrigued.]

[burnyouwretches]

Ha! You have no way of fighting.

[force_captain]

[Boring.]

Did you know your hair is on fire, dearie?

[burnyouwretches]

It's an enchantment. Too complicated for you to understand, human?

[force_captain]

I understand magic just fine. I don't understand why you'd waste power on setting your head on fire.

[burnyouwretches]

It's a crown of flames because I am a dragon.

[force_captain]

Oooh, a drrragon. Am I supposed to be impressed by that, dearie?

[burnyouwretches]

My species was ancient when yours was crawling in the mud trying to decide which squirrels to eat.

[force_captain]

Do you even know what world I'm from, fireball?

[burnyouwretches]

It hardly matters.

[force_captain]

It does. If you don't know what world I'm from, you can't say you're older than my people. Simple logic, Sparky.

[burnyouwretches]

You're a creation of the Titans, whether you know it or not. I can estimate.

[force_captain]

Titans? I think you're flames have cooked your brain, Sparky. My home world is exceedingly ancient, my people equally so. And dragons aren't even a little impressive.

[burnyouwretches]

You understand little about the origins of the universe if you have not heard of the Titans, whelp.

[force_captain]

Unless I'm not from your universe. Did that ever occur to you, grandpa?

[burnyouwretches]

The world universe encompasses everything that exists.

[codename_duchess]

"Pathetic idiot" gets to her? And this one plays my warden?

[force_captain]

It pricks her, I'm sure. She's straining her little brain to figure me out, so she can put me in a that little hell hole with the other two.

[codename_duchess]

She ought to grow a thicker skin, taking on a lady like you. With you there, that messed-up little pleasure cruise could be a lot more interesting.

[force_captain]

[You're speaking her language, Archer.]

I do bring interesting wherever I go.

[codename_duchess]

[This is a language he knows very well.]

You've got a lot to spare.

[force_captain]

Aren't you just sweet. [Her grin is a little sexy, and a little scary.] Maybe being on that boat won't be so unbearable, if you're there.

[codename_duchess]

Am I still sweet if I'm just being honest? [Scary can just make it sexier!] Oh, I think I can help keep you occupied.

[force_captain]

Can't it be both? [Oh yes, she likes you.] Good. I do so hate to get bored.
