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.

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

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?

Don't expect an easy fight.

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

[ 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.

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. ]

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