[ dutch can't sleep. it's not surprising, with the secret she's had to share for the sake of this mission bringing back old demons, with her best friend johnny gone and people who've disappeared murdered. ]

so who's enjoying what bajikan has to offer? [ "are you enjoying having your minds messed with?" is what she's really asking. it's a sore spot, that, so don't mind her. ]

if you're not too busy fighting, napping or fucking, why don't you help a girl out. two lies and a truth. i'm bored stiff, so i'll start:

1. i love this planet.
2. the captain's been answering all my questions.
3. i'm looking forward to beating the shit out of something or someone when i get back on board. volunteers welcome.

[ she really, really needs a distraction. ]

[avicula]

not the way i see it, but if you're good, enjoy the hells out of it

[douchebag]

I intend to. Gotta make this bullshit enjoyable somehow.

[avicula]

by this bullshit, i'm guessing you mean our friendly abduction and pleasant stay aboard

[douchebag]

Got it in one. Does anybody actually LIKE being here?

[avicula]

i've yet to meet someone who enjoys being kidnapped

[douchebag]

I can think of exactly one way it's not objectionable. But yeah. You really think it was an abduction? Like someone's controlling these anomaly things?

private.

[avicula]

am i sure? no
but calling it an anomaly and saying it can't be helped is suspiciously easy

private.

[douchebag]

How about bringing people back from the dead?

∞

[avicula]

if you believe an anomaly could do it, why shouldn't the people in possession of the technology that caused said anomaly? allegedly

that happen to you or someone close to you?

[douchebag]

I'll be honest with you here.

[ Stop the presses. Felix is being honest. Hell has frozen over. ]

I've seen some pretty crazy shit. Alien tech, mostly. The stuff it could do should've been impossible. Maybe it can be controlled. I don't know. Interdimensional tech hasn't ever been my forte.

Me.

[avicula]

i've seen people survive fatal blows because of alien parasites inside them and others with technology inside them. if all of that's possible, why shouldn't this?

[ admittedly, dutch doesn't know anything about interdimensional travel. this is very much her first time for that. ]

my condolences

[douchebag]

Alien parasites? What kind of alien parasites? The Flood?

[avicula]

not unless the flood is a flood of green goo

[douchebag]

I don't know about goo. It's a parasite that corrupts people, turns them into monsters.

[avicula]

not the same parasites, unless you mean monsters figuratively
the people they corrupt become unfeeling, can't be hurt easily and grow stronger than humanly possible, but they're still people

[douchebag]

Great. More fucking parasites. Just what the universe needs.

[avicula]

that how you died?

[douchebag]

By parasites? Please. I'm better than that. No. Best killer in the galaxy got me. Only one who could.

[avicula]

fair enough
i'd give you my condolences but seeing how you're still kind of alive, i'm not sure that's actually necessary
