voice | ❝ all the bad you've got ❞

[avicula]

( this isn’t subtle, exactly, but sometimes the direct approach is the most effective. her tone, when dutch addresses the network at large, is crisp, pointed. ) I got the welcome speech loud and clear, but here's two questions for you anyway:

One, who here has heard of the J, the Quad, the Company, or Reclamation Agents? ( if they were telling the truth, the answer should be no one, or hardly anyone. dutch isn’t sure what outcome she’s hoping for: that they were telling the truth, or that this is a slaver ship or one of khlyen’s schemes. no, that’s a lie. she knows exactly which outcome she’s hoping for, but it’s a grim kind of hope. ) Two, I’m going to assume some of you know how to fight. I’m looking for sparring partners, so who’s ready to get their arse kicked?

( dutch has some frustration to work off, and there’s only so much a punching bag can do. )

Oh, and lastly? ( it’s a long shot, but still her tone shifts, something chiding that can’t hide the affection underlying her words. ) Johnnyboy, if you’re here, stop drooling over new tech and find me.

voice.

[fibrosis]

[ it's voice bc you used voice, okay ]

Dutch?

[avicula]

Alvis. ( it's a greeting and confirmation both, wrapped in relief. )

[fibrosis]

Gotta say, it's nice to hear a familiar voice. How'd you get wrapped up in all this?

[ not that he really understands how he did, but who knows, she might have a better picture. ]

[avicula]

How does anyone?

( she has no clue, and she hates it. )

[deconstruct]

what/who do you fight? occupation or sport?

[avicula]

The who depends on the warrant, and as for your second question: both.
Why do you ask?

[deconstruct]

just curious. [ sort of. sport fighting's different from doing it practically, to him, at least. ] so youre police or something?

[fullcowl]

If you need a sparing partner, that's part of my job on the ship. But I'm used to hand-to-hand.

[avicula]

Hand to hand suits me fine.

( and a moment later: ) Part of your job?

[fullcowl]

I'm one of the personal defense specialists.

[tearsinajar]

If upcoming surgery wasn't in my day planner I would take you up on the offer of sparring.

Maybe you can consider this a raincheck?

[avicula]

You're a doctor. ( it's not a question, precisely, but dutch would still like to have confirmation. )

It looks like I'm not going anywhere any time soon. Just tell me when you're free.

[tearsinajar]

I got skills but not those kind of skills. I'm actually the patient, in this case.

[imahologram]

Don't expect an easy fight.

[We'll see who's going to kick whose ass is on the tip of her tongue, but princesses swear only in their own heads, for the most part.]

How do you fight? Hand to hand, staves...?

[avicula]

Wasn't hoping for one. ( easy fights are boring. )

Hand to hand, mostly. I can handle just about any kind, though.

[imahologram]

Hand to hand is fine with me. I could use some extra practice.

I'm Leia Organa. [If they're going to to try beating the stuffing out of each other, they might as well be introduced.] Is sparring a hobby, or...?

[If she's a hobbyist, she might want to go easy on the woman.]

[ Reclamation Agents does not sound like a chill-out type of job, so: ]

Please notify us immediately at the Medbay if things get serious. [ In monotone: ] Safety is important to keep in mind when engaging strangers in physical activity.

[avicula]

( it isn't a particularly chill kind of job, but it's better than her last one. )

And by serious, are you thinking broken bones, bleeding out, or a sprained ankle? ( his tone is so monotonous, dutch can't help but tease a little. )

[procedures]

Any, either, or. Take your pick.

[ His tone is friendly, at least. ]

Really though, please don't get hurt.

Depends on the kind of sparring you're looking for.

[ And if you'd be willing to spar a 7' alien but you know, baby steps. On voice, the only way Dutch would be able to tell he isn't human is from the strange effect on his voice, anyway. ]

[avicula]

Hand to hand. Something challenging. I'd like not having to pull my punches.

( she wouldn't mind sparring with a 7' alien at all. it might be a challenge, and that might take her mind off everything else. )

[scope]

A challenge, huh?

I might know my way around a fight. [ Definitely confident, but with a bit of a smile in there -- it's boastful, but friendly rather than any kind of aggressive. A pause, and. ] Depends on whether or not you'd mind sparring with a turian.

[ MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS Garrus continues to have hopes ]

[petridish]

I wouldn't mind sparring, but I wouldn't assume you'll be kicking my ass.

[avicula]

Only one way to find out.

[petridish]

Sim room, or...?
