Muse is not impressed // Canon is 007: Skyfall. Spoilers not in post, maybe in comments.

[thatsvexing]

Yes, I suppose that journal name is rather accurate. This is all quite vexing.

I have no idea what you intend to do with me, so we should both just get back to doing what we're supposed to, hm?

Comments

[doubleoohbaby]

I was wondering when you'd show up.

[thatsvexing]

Ah. 007. Yes, I thought you might be around here somewhere.

I see nothing gets by you, anyway.

[doubleoohbaby]

I like to keep on top of things. You know how it is...

[thatsvexing]

Yes, I imagine that you do. Very well, for the sake of curiosity, what's your take on our current... situation?

[doubleoohbaby]

One gets used to it, as much as I loathe to accept familiarity with the whole situation.

[thatsvexing]

I see you've been here for some time, then?

[doubleoohbaby]

Three sodding years.

[thatsvexing]

That does seem to be a rather long time to be imprisoned by your mundane.

...What a dreary word. They honestly call themselves that?

[doubleoohbaby]

Mundane is an appropriate word for most of them. You'll find that out soon enough, Q.

[thatsvexing]

Well, that just makes me pity you all the more, 007. Three years with people who class themselves as normal? Why, it's a wonder you haven't gone insane.

[doubleoohbaby]

Could be that I already have. I may be imagining you-- Oh God, I hope not.

I'll admit to listening to Skyfall right now. Because Adele. <3

[thatsvexing]

Would that really be so bad, 007?

[Smug smile of smugness.]

i accidentally on purpose leave it on repeat sometimes, ngl

[doubleoohbaby]

I can certainly think of better imaginary friends.

[barebacking]

My, my... a young man with such a marvelous name and title.

I don't even know what could possibly be vexing about it.

[thatsvexing]

The vexing part has nothing to do with my occupation, I assure you, sir.

[barebacking]

The future is nothing to fear.

It is a bright and shining beacon for us all to walk toward... and embrace with open arms.

[thatsvexing]

If there is one thing I do not fear, sir, it is the future.

[barebacking]

Then where do your woes lie, Quartermaster?

[thatsvexing]

I'm afraid that information is classified.

[barebacking]

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

[thatsvexing]

Making disapproving noises won't grant you security clearance.

[barebacking]

Then... what do you need to grant me clearance?

[thatsvexing]

[Well, now things are going to get complicated]

You need to fill out Form DBS-342-R and return it to the vetting official for the department you wish to join. Once they have reviewed the form, your case will be passed onto Operational Security to ascertain your level and access code.

This is the first part of the process, however. There will include a strict vetting process to be done by the recruitment department before you are submitted for the mandatory pretests.

[barebacking]

And if I wanted to skip all that?

[thatsvexing]

Then your security clearance would not be approved, and we would be back to square one.
