I can say the word 'crazy' and all its synonyms in six different languages and I'll still never be close to describing the insanity of where you're thinking of throwing me.

And I use 'throw' literally. Do not put me in that fountain.

[milagros]

Go big or go home.

[phonetical]

I prefer to go home on this one.

[milagros]

Maybe it's a little more 'jump or be pushed' in this case.

[phonetical]

I'm still going with the side that chooses neither of those. If I have to go there, [and she wants to only because her crew is there and they need to be together], dry ground would be great. Fantastic, even. No need for a towel or a change of clothes.

[milagros]

It loses a little something in the inevitable retelling.

[logistical]

I was fortunate to avoid the fountain.

[phonetical]

There's a rumor going around that I should be the first of our crew to get dunked, if it hasn't happened already. Apparently, it's not fair that the other officers have all the fun.

[Hi honey. She brings you sarcasm.]

[logistical]

[ngl, he missed that.]

You will indeed be boldly going where no man in our crew has gone before.

[A hint of a smile, and a pause.]

However, the Captain will no doubt get there before us.

[phonetical]

Well, I have always wanted to be in the Academy textbooks. Thank you for showing me there's a bright side to this.

In the fountain or in general?

[logistical]

In the fountain. If my information is correct, he first regurgitated, and then fell into it.

[tough_love]

There are worse things to be thrown into than a mere fountain, human.

[She can list them! Because she's probably thrown people into them. Or thrown them into people.]

What is so dreadful about it? Do you dislike water?

[...she may need further explanation though]

[phonetical]

[There might be worse things, but it doesn't mean she has to accept it!]

Would you like to fall from the sky into a public fountain? While still dressed? And remember, it's a public fountain in a place that's not your home.

[tough_love]

Are you worried you will be injured?

I was aware humans were frail, weak creatures, but that does not seem like any extraordinary concern.

[phonetical]

No, I just dislike being wet out of my own will. I like a say in things sometimes. Forgive me.

[Frail, weak creatures. She's not ruffled by that. Lots of other lifeforms say that all the time. Sometimes, it's practically a motto.]

[tough_love]

[In Looma's case, it's meant quite literally. And not actually intended to be insulting, and there's little venom in the words. She just has all the tact and subtlety of a rampaging bull.]

Strange. It is just water, after all.

[HUMANS! They just keep getting stranger!]

But these mundanes are stubborn foes indeed! And they rarely appear to change their mind once it has been made up.

[hischair]

Yeaaah, try to avoid getting your hair washed in that thing, someone might have thrown up in it a while back. Maybe.

[phonetical]

Maybe?

[Kirk, you need to give some details here.]

[hischair]

In his defense, it wasn't his fault.

[ Hands up, shields down, don't fire! ]

[phonetical]

[She hasn't set her phaser yet. Yet.]

And did he tell you this or did you assume this, Captain?

[Uhura knows it was you being gross!]

[hischair]

Hearsay rules in his favor.

[ He was sick, but he isn't about to parley that about. ]

[nooniensingh]

[A slim smile. He actually respects her, it takes a lot of guts to walk unarmed up to a platoon of Klingons.]

But it is traditional, Lieutenant. A baptism into your new world.

[phonetical]

[She could continue living without his respect, lbr here. Also, Khan, didn't she phase you enough? God.]

As I said before, I have preferences. This is not one of them.

[And she totally prefers you back in cryo.]

[nooniensingh]

[Why's everybody hating on the planet-smashing bad guy? Jeez. No respect.]

I do hope your writer listens to your needs. I find blackmail does wonders in making mine behave.

[phonetical]

[Maybe because he's a planet-smashing bad guy? Just a suggestion.]

Not everybody works like you. [And thank god for that!]

[nooniensingh]

[What no. That's not true at all, c'mon Lieutenant.]

Quite obviously. The world would be a very different place if they did. Much better organized, for one.
