what even.

[seperalis]

Hey, princess. Pumpkin. Was it pumpkin? Tch, been too long, I'm forgetting all my pet names for you.

So, how about that, huh? You remembered me, even after you went and forgot me again. I tell ya, I'm just pleased as fucking punch to know that's all it takes, just one new page. And it still is pretty funny, watching you get all pissy about everything. Still getting pissy about everything. Thought you'd gone and left the story - heh, made myself laugh - all behind.

Nice to know you still want me around, though. Hell if I know whatever happens from here on out, I know I ain't going anywhere specific, but having the option's at least something.



No, I don't get what he's on, either. Kid's got issues. He can keep 'em away from me.

She might surprise you. They have a way of doing that.

[seperalis]

You'd think so. But this isn't my first space rodeo, I'd bet money on it.

[inthebiblicalsense]

[If you're talking about him? He doesn't think he has issues. But of course, everyone that has issues thinks that at least once in their life.]

You spurred some action in my own director as well. I'm not sure if I want to thank you, or punch you. [But that's always how it is, isn't it?]

[seperalis]

Or protect me from the big scary bad guys, hm?

[inthebiblicalsense]

[He's going to just stare off, trying to hide the fluster.]

S-shut up. At least I'm confident we're not going to get killed, you're the one asking me to save you.

[seperalis]

[ tch. ] You're kind of the one piloting the ship, princess. I'm relying on you to save my ass, like any good Navigator should.

[inthebiblicalsense]

Yeah, well. You're coming out of this alive. So don't worry about it.

[seperalis]

Even if you won't?

[inthebiblicalsense]

Nothing is set in stone, Cain. [Though he has to admit, even if he's determined, there is a big margin of possible error here. Engine failure being one of them. But if they're dead in the water, Cain can at least fire.]

[seperalis]

Just don't do anything stupid. It's going to look real bad on me if my Navigator bites the dust.

[inthebiblicalsense]

[He wants to comment on that, on his turnover rate when it comes to navigators, but he doesn't know what happened, if they're dead or alive so he bites his tongue.]

I'm not the one who pulls stupid stunts. I'm not going for shock value, I'm going for the win.

[seperalis]

No, you're trying to be a hero. You're a bullied little kid trying to save the day and win everyone's favour so you don't feel sorry for yourself anymore.

Let me know how that works out.

[inthebiblicalsense]

You're trying to pick a fight and I'm not in the mood to be baited right now. I'm just trying to make sure none of this war comes back home, and that's what you should be focusing on too instead of trying to figure out what my motives are. [Even if, okay, he'd like to prove himself, but he's not going to admit that Cain was even remotely right.]

You're in a war, and it's real. You should act like it instead of dicking around.

[seperalis]

Dicking around is way easier than pretending to be something I'm not, princess.

[inthebiblicalsense]

And what am I supposed to be pretending to be, Cain? I'd love for you to tell me.

[seperalis]

Badass?

[inthebiblicalsense]

[He is just going to stare at you for a moment, before cracking up. He's sorry, but that was just not what he was going for. Stupid and sacrificial, sure. War hero, yes. But in potentially blowing himself up in a suicide mission, 'damn do I look bad ass right now' never really crossed his mind.

So he'll just continue to laugh, either at your response, or at you, Cain. It's your choice. Which ever you decide, he thinks that's hilarious.]

[seperalis]

Yeah, that was my first reaction too.

[inthebiblicalsense]

[Pffft.] Cain, you're such an asshole.

[seperalis]

Through and through, princess.

[inthebiblicalsense]

Its nice that you can at least admit it. Some people just deny they have a giant stick shoved up their ass. [While you're over here, riding it like some rodeo cowboy right in front of him.]

[derpir]

..My mun says - most happily, mind - that you're the kinda guy that no one in their right mind would forget forever. (She needs to reread it all though....)

*He grins.*

Nice to meet ya. I'm Lance.

[seperalis]

I am pretty un-fucking-forgettable, huh? Even to the people in the wrong minds.

Which one are you?

[derpir]

...What do you mean 'which one are you'? *It doesn't help that his mun doesn't understand the question, either.*

[seperalis]

Right or wrong minded.

[derpir]

I like to think I'm right-minded. Which means I'll remember you, too.

*He grins, and gives Cain a pointed once-over. Yup.*

[seperalis]

Heh. Flattering, babydoll. Be sure to tell all your pals about me.

[derpir]

...'Babydoll'?? Er...

*"Tell your pals" right? Ahaha, he doesn't have much, and he's a shut-in to boot....*

...Yeaaaah, about that. I don't exactly have any aside from wherever my mun has thrown me.

[seperalis]

Tch. That's pretty pathetic, then. You should work on that.

[derpir]

...I'm working on it right now, one can argue. *Huff! He folds his arms against his chest. But he's not actually mad or anything - just embarrassed.*

[seperalis]

Sure you are. Good luck with that.
