Coming out of retirement!

[emotionalgates]

The motivations behind this particular action are quite conspicuously lacking in any form of logical process, Mundane. Decisions such as these should not be made based on emotional whims. You in particular seem quite susceptible to them. Your past endeavors in this area have unequivocally led to catastrophe. The logical inference extrapolated from the data comprising your past history is that this will yield no different results.

Reconsider.

I don't think asking her to reconsider is going to work.

[emotionalgates]

It has in the past, for however short a time.

However, in this case, you may be correct.

[symbiont]

I'm always correct.

[ no, she's not. ]

[emotionalgates]

That is highly improbable.

[symbiont]

Vulcans. Always with the probabilities. A quality I used to find quite admirable.

[ her previous host, tobin, had spent quite a bit of time on vulcan. ]

[emotionalgates]

But that is no longer the case. [No that is not a question.]

[symbiont]

It wasn't an opinion I held. [ ... ] I do, but I don't. Not anymore.

[ she won't address the significant lack of vulcans, because idk i guess this emony is aware of xi things or something. this is ~dear_mun, i'll do what i want to. including talking about ~taboo~ trill things. you can't stop me. ]

[emotionalgates]

[...ahahahahaha ilu

Also, this is an eyebrow raise.]

[symbiont]

[ ❤

also, this is just an innocent, friendly smile in response to your eyebrow raise, spock. ]

[emotionalgates]

[Oh hell no. You cannot out-silence a Vulcan.]

[symbiont]

[ just watch her try!! ]

[emotionalgates]

[The battle will be legendary!]

[symbiont]

[ ...or she could just tire quickly of the confused vulcan look. ]

Well, go on. Ask. You're allowed to, you know.

[emotionalgates]

I am uncertain as to your meaning.

[symbiont]

I'm the person who had that opinion, but I'm also not.

[ trolling vulcans is a legit hobby, okay. ]

[emotionalgates]

I believe you are very much aware of the illogic in that statement.

[symbiont]

Oh, I assure you that it's quite in line with your logic standards, Commander.

[emotionalgates]

Clarify.

[symbiont]

[ oh fine, she'll stop leading him around in circles. ]

My species is symbiotic. Some Trill choose to join with the symbiotic lifeforms we share our planet with. I am one of them. The opinion I spoke of was something my previous host believed.

[ not quite that simple, but it works. also lol pronouns and joined trill. this gets complicated. ]

[emotionalgates]

[That's new.]

Fascinating.

[symbiont]

[ she holds out a hand. she learned during her time on earth - brief, but... quite the memorable experience - that handshakes are a thing. ]

Emony Dax.

[emotionalgates]

[There's some very definite hesitation there before he gives the briefest handshake he can manage without being rude.]

I am Spock.

[symbiont]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Commander Spock. I hear that despite your objections, your player sent in quite the app.

[emotionalgates]

Indeed. It was, perhaps, excessive.

[symbiont]

Interesting. A Vulcan calling something excessive when what you consider to be thorough is excessive to everyone else.

[emotionalgates]

Certain elements of it would have been better left...unexposed.

[symbiont]

...if I didn't know any better, I'd say you found those 'exposed' parts to be embarrassing.

[emotionalgates]

Such emotion is distasteful and illogical.

[symbiont]

Spoken like a true Vulcan.

[ who she doesn't know is actually half-human. the irony. ]

[emotionalgates]

[Good. I mean what. >>;; ]

I can hardly be anything else.

[symbiont]

I don't know. I'm not what I seem. If I hadn't told you I had another lifeform in side of me, you would still think I was a single being. Appearances can be very deceiving, Commander.

[emotionalgates]

I am Vulcan. [Which isn't a lie.]

[symbiont]

I can see that. I wasn't insinuating that you weren't, just pointing out that you shouldn't take everything at face value. You'd be surprised by that which lies underneath.

[emotionalgates]

I do not believe that I would be.

[symbiont]

That so?

[emotionalgates]

Is that so surprising?

[symbiont]

Somewhat. I'd expect someone in Starfleet to be a little bit more open minded.

[emotionalgates]

I am afraid I do not understand.

:o

[phonologic]

We humans are always repeating history, Commander. It's an inevitability.

OHAI THAR. HE IS SO RUSTY.

[emotionalgates]

Ss it would seem, Lieutenant.

haaaay gurl. how have you been? SHE IS TOO OH MAN

[phonologic]

Well then you should have an idea of what to expect at the very least.

Good! You? OH MY GOD RUSTY MUSE PARTY

[emotionalgates]

Somewhat.
