[L sounds weary and unhappy, but isn't everyone strained right now?]

If we get through this, I'm interested in compiling explicit details of where this ship has visited since the current round of crew has been on it, and what happened there. Some of this is common knowledge, the rest less so, and I've only heard halves of stories -- individual perspectives -- and what other people, like Miss Robin, have been inclined to discuss of what they've been told. Those efforts are appreciated, but I'd like to hear more.

If you're willing to talk frankly about it, to start at the beginning without assuming any prior knowledge, please let me know.

Bit direct of you.

[But she admires that, really.]

I've been gathering information, myself. I'm not about to share over this thing, but it wouldn't hurt to compare notes at some point.

I find it's a lost art on many people here.

Do you feel up for meeting over coffee, though? I could use some, so I can stay up the whole night. We can read over any responses you get together.

Sleeping's hardly productive in a time like this. I'm in Nomo #18. You can come collect me whenever you're ready.

[She's in the middle of pulling her hair up into a ponytail when she steps out, and winds up having to re-do it a couple of times as they walk because there's a stray hair out of place.]

My attention's drawn in too many directions to make any for myself. I'd wind up setting the ship on fire, and then all the planning we're doing would be a waste of time.

[She notices that flatness and looks him over, before reaching an arm out across his chest so he'll bump into it and stop walking.]

Have you been sleeping properly? Eating?

[Her eyes narrow as she spins about to look him over, rising up on her tiptoes to lean her face close enough to his that the tip of their noses bump together.]

Don't tell me you've been putting in too much work into all this. You sound awful.

[Going into meetings for teams that aren't his and all can really wear a man down.]

[She leans back and seems to accept his answer, since she starts walking once again.]

I'm not very fond of it, either. Ever since we received that warning, I feel like we have a clock ticking above our heads, counting down until we have to kill or be killed.

[It's sadly not an entirely new situation for her, but she doesn't really think that this can be compared to some of her other experiences. She bites at the corner of her lip as they walk, seeming to think something over. What it is she's thinking about isn't vocalized, so it could be attributed to anxiety because of her position in all this. ]

I'm worried I'm not doing enough. That there isn't possibly enough that I can do. I've never been in the military like the other two leaders. I'm not a warrior like so many of the other people here. I'm clever, but what good is being clever if you can't think of a plan that will keep everyone on both sides alive?

I wouldn't go so far as to say that.

[It's too difficult to try and explain, so she doesn't bother. Instead, she plays it vague. ]

I know I don't have to fix the solution on my own, but I have to prove myself to the captains. I don't trust them, but I still want them to take me seriously.

[Right as she says that, they round a corner, and in her exhausted state, she bumps right against the corner as she turns it. Her eyes widen as she recoils from that, and tries to play it off like it hadn't happened.]

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-27 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know.

[She sighs, rubbing at her eye.]

I haven't thought that far ahead yet. I just know that's something I need to do.

[It's entirely because she hates being underestimated, but her pride isn't about to let her say that out loud. Not after she's just run into a wall and had to have him steer her clear of it happening again.]

[Her shoulders slump, and she finds herself getting grumpy for no reason other than she just doesn't know. She doesn't know, and that frustrates the hell out of her, and all she wants right now is something sweet and horrible for her to eat and to curl up in bed with someone who will pet her hair until she falls asleep. But she can't have those things, because she's comparing notes with someone she trusts as an ally, and thinks of as a friend.]

Do you know what sounds better than coffee? Or thinking of the captains at all? A nap.

[She gives him an exasperated look, crossing her arms over her chest.]

That is my priority. And I don't want coffee anymore. I've never been a big fan of it anyway. What I want is just an hour of sleep. Your eyes have the circles under them too, surely you're just as knackered as I am.

[She thinks that's a perfectly rational plan, when they've already walked all this way and would have to turn around and walk right back.]

[The look she gives him back says she's dead serious about this. Luckily, he seems to turn around and head back the way they've come, and she gleefully follows along. The sooner she can collapse in bed, the better.]

I think they suit you. The dark circles.

[Yep, definitely exceptionally overtired conversation happening here.]

How long ago was it? That you were born, I mean.

[That's basically the most roundabout way she's ever asked for someone's age.]
bosswald: (Default)

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-30 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
So we're the same age, give or take. Good to know.

[She a little as she says it, covering up her mouth with the back of her hand.]

And I think it counts if you want it to. The Doctor's lived for over a thousand years, but he always says he doesn't feel a day over two hundred. It can be like that for you, too. Reversed, obviously.

[They've arrived back at her room by now, and she makes her way inside, expecting him to follow. Even if he doesn't, she makes quick work out of kicking off her shoes and going to collapse in bed.]

[Scooting over, she leaves room for him to lie next to her.]

Funny, that. 'Cause I want to live to be a thousand.

[She says it with a grin and a tone that implies she knows its whimsical but is going to try and do it anyway. She's always managed to make the impossible possible and living to be a thousand sounds perfectly in her reach.

And just in case he needs a further hint to come and lay with her, she reaches out for him, fingers waggling.

Because it felt like the most impossible age I could think of.

[Laughing, she shifts so she can rest her head on his shoulder. He's bony, but a decent human pillow. ]

Besides, it'd get dull after a thousand years. Don't you think?
bosswald: (Default)

[personal profile] bosswald 2016-06-30 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
I want to have a thousand interesting years, full of adventure.

[She isn't the sort to just settle for a thousand boring years, and would find a way to make such a long time interesting. Of course, she knows it's impossible for either of them to actually live a thousand years, but it's a nice thought. One that has her smiling as she allows her eyes to drift closed.

She switches gears then, after only being quiet for a few seconds.

Do you think we'll make it through meeting with the Caducans alive? It might put a kink in living to a thousand, to die here.

In order? The first planet we didn't get a name for, Caducus Primary, Emiri, Ceta, Del Pascia, Amissis-Re, and now the Collective. There were one or two months the ship didn't visit anywhere at all, and a couple of months were spent on Emiri.

[And now you know.]
realitywarped: (Gesture - Shrug)

[personal profile] realitywarped 2016-06-25 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Likely- who knows? Possibly, they all could. Events that happened there could come back to bite us somewhere along the line later.

[He gestures, hands spread in front of him, palms up.]

Stupidity, mostly.

[He makes a noise of disgust.]

They claimed to find you your "soulmate", a concept that still baffles me.
realitywarped: (Neutral - Conversational)

[personal profile] realitywarped 2016-06-30 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Your perfect partner, whether for parenthood, business, or romance.

[He shrugs.]

Considering I have no wish for the first two, and I already have a bed partner, pairing me up seemed rather pointless.
