IDEK what I'm doing

[always_shallbe]

While I am aware that this attention may be what my human companions might call “flattering,” I must inform you that your course of action is inadvisable.

It would be far more profitable to continue your review of the lives of the persons you have in “games.” You have started two such endeavors and completed neither, demonstrating a remarkable capacity for distraction and procrastination. Attempting to capture my voice only provides further distraction from the responsibilities you have already taken on.

[A pause and his look becomes even more disapproving, if possible.] Furthermore, I object to your statement that you are fond of “pointy-eared telepaths with a superiority complex.” I find it inaccurate and mildly insulting to both myself and the lady to whom you compare me.

You seem to be in a good mood, Spock.

[always_shallbe]

I fail to understand the reasoning that lead you to this conclusion, Captain.

[original_fine]

You tend to get especially pointed in your observations. Well, sometimes that means you're on the verge of that thing we don't talk about, but I doubt you're due.

[hes_deadjim]

Spock, I'll give you this; if there's one thing you're damn good at it, it's telling someone when you think they're doing something wrong.

On the other hand, this mun of yours has got you down to a tee. [he's trying not to break into a big grin, and failing]

[always_shallbe]

A skill we seem to have in common, Doctor. [A raised eyebrow] I suspected you might find it amusing; she seems to share your talent for crude description.

[hes_deadjim]

Mostly just for you. You should feel flattered

Crude? I'd call it inspired, or colorful. Adds a little spice to things.

[fraternaltelepath]

You're a telepath too then?

[always_shallbe]

Telepathic abilities are an inherent characteristic of my species.

[fraternaltelepath]

Species? You're not even human?

[always_shallbe]

Correct. I am a Vulcan. [Or half Vulcan. But who's counting?]

[fraternaltelepath]

[Well that was new.] Would you be offended if I tried to read your mind?

[theabjectauthor]

I admire your dedication to her well-being, sir, but regrettably, I speak from experience when I say: they seldom listen.

[always_shallbe]

Most illogical. It is a peculiar habit of humans to ask for advice they have no intention to take.

[theabjectauthor]

Being a human myself, I have found that a usual explanation is that some people simply wish to share their troubles, and the act of even enumerating them can help alleviate their effects. However, it is also just as timeless a fact that humans like to give out unsolicited advice, so it may be that the door swings both ways, so to speak.

[always_shallbe]

Yes, you gain some emotional gratification from both giving and receiving advice. I failed to include that in my assessment.

[theabjectauthor]

Please, sir, I would not call it a failure, simply an oversight. Given the many complications of human nature, those are remarkably easy to make.

[kirk_tng]

Only mildly insulting, Captain?

[always_shallbe]

It is, after all, two-thirds accurate, if crudely put. [There's a raised eyebrow at the rank, but he doesn't mention it yet.]

[kirk_tng]

I see. So at what point of inaccuracy do you go from mildly insulting to insulting?

[always_shallbe]

That would depend on the nature of the inaccuracy.

[kirk_tng]

Fair enough, Captain.

It's okay idk wtf I'm doing either

[logicalthing]

Attempting to apply logic to the actions of them, is extraordinarily difficult in such situations. [And yet he's as judging as possible, not of Spock but this entire situation.]

[always_shallbe]

[There's the slightest raise of his eyebrow. Somehow, he didn't think anyone would take on his father. It seems a bit beyond most of these muns.]

Agreed. Fortunately, however, she is not beyond reason.

[logicalthing]

[It's okay, he never thought someone would either but hey, there are weirder things. Plus nostalgia trip, supposedly. But he tilts his head at that.]

That is most surprising, considering the statement you mentioned.

[always_shallbe]

It is a curious fact that reminding humans of arguments already known to them is often enough to persuade them to the logical course of action. "Reassurance"- they gain emotional gratification from hearing another affirm their decisions.

Spock! Good to see you getting out and stretching your legs.
