I got something in the mail from home that got me thinking about a few things:

- Has anyone ever made it back to their own time/place?

- Has anyone ever escaped and been recaptured by the Moira? If they have, did time move at all while they were away from home?

If you don't know, I'm also curious about the general morale. Do you like/dislike the ship? Why?

I'm curious about what you got in the mail.

[Ocelot sent him DD via the mail and he had no idea that such items could be sent.]

[camouflage]

A bandana from one of my men. As far the mail goes, I think you got a better deal out of it.

[cardboard_boss]

You mean DD? That was all Ocelot's idea. Never knew it would prove so popular as it did.

[A bandana is pretty cool too though.]

[camouflage]

I'd say the ship's pretty animal-friendly, considering all the cats and dogs running around. DD seems like a good dog. Probably a better soldier, though.

[cardboard_boss]

Yeah. It's good that people like animals on here. He is a good soldier, about as good as they get. Loyal and keeps me company.

[camouflage]

Good, can't ever have enough of that.

[cardboard_boss]

Yeah. Talking of loyalty and soldiers. How about we try and put the past behind us and get to know each other better? Want a drink together or some CQC training together?

[camouflage]

[john wouldn't know how to put the past behind him if someone gave him a step-by-step guide and gave him a demonstration.]

Sure. I'm always open to spar, but if you have some downtime, I'll take you up on that drink offer.

[cardboard_boss]

why don't we spar for a bit then go for a drink. we'll probably need it afterwards.

[If they're to CQC their brains out yeah.]

[camouflage]

You're on. Rec room, 15 mins?

[cardboard_boss]

sure. see you there.

[Ahab made his way to the rec room and was anticipating what sort of fight he would get into with his double. Would it end well so they could grab a drink afterwards? He hoped so.]

John? [Because he wasn't going to call the other man Boss, that would sound too weird being the same person.]

[camouflage]

[as always, john's sense of timing runs a little slow. it takes him just a moment longer than anticipated to wrap up what he's working on, but as soon as he does, he makes his way over to the rec room.

thankfully, ahab is already there.]

Didn't keep you waiting, did I?

[cardboard_boss]

[Kept you waiting, huh?....

He was kind of expecting Boss to utter those words once meeting his counterpart on arrival. Words like that could bring out so many memories.]

No. Not this time. [He lightly joked with the other man. Why keep grudges regarding his past? Venom wasn't a man to keep grudges, not to people who he regarded as his friends.]

Want to practice CQC techniques first?

[camouflage]

Sure. [john wanders over to the open area in the rec room, shirking his uniform jacket and putting it off to side. his thermal sleevs are rolled up to his elbows.]

I've always wondered how far you've come since taking on my title. [after all, everyone from msf had learned their cqc abilities through him or people he had deemed skilled enough to be trainers. while ahab had never been a slouch when it came to fighting bare-handed, no one had been good enough to best their CO.

john wonders how far venom's risen above the rank and file. he gets into a normal stance, waiting for his partner.]

[cardboard_boss]

I hope I don't disappoint. [Ahab knew that he and John was nearly as much the same man but Boss had the experience honed into him. Unlike Ahab who had the moves programmed into him whilst being in his coma.]

Let's go.

[Ahab readied himself and came at Boss with a quick move to try and get behind the other man, aiming to slide his arm around Boss's neck in the CQC choke move.]
