voice | ❝ all the bad you've got ❞

( 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.

( 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.

I'll do my best. No promises though. Someone's got to keep you lot busy, right?

( she's not serious. )
