01. Open up my eager eyes, I'm Mr. Brightside.

Is Uhura still aboard? I certainly hope that she is. I'd hate to think that she'd left in my little absence. Exactly how long have I been gone?

Are any of my delightful little people still here? Rex? Erik? Snape? Narvin? I do hope that at least one or two of you still are around.

I'm sure we can all just go back to the beginning where you forget everything you've ever learned about me. After all, it's what the Barge does best, doesn't it?

[Private to Shego.]
Still doing self-defense stuff?
truth_is_cold: (rhade - wistful interest)

You know what? Get everyone.

I've no preconceptions to be dismissed.

Well that's one good thing, darling.

Who are you?
truth_is_cold: (rhade - console)

Gaheris Rhade, and you would be?

Well, Miss Lewis, if when you were here previously the Barge consisted of one side pontificating and ignorant of the obligations that give them entitlement and the other maliciously making ridiculous spectacles of themselves in fits my youngest children would have found excessive, then nothing much has changed.

Nothing changed. Seems like nothing ever does here.

At least the company has gotten a little lovelier.

They come regrettably few and far between, and I approve of good fashion.

I think I could be fond of you, Gaheris Rhade.

I'm flattered, my Lady.

How far back have you read in public record?

How do you know I did? And just Ana is fine. What do you want me to call you, darling?
truth_is_cold: (rhade - smirky)

I did when I came aboard. I considered pretending I was a warden but most people have to ask anyway.

Gaheris. Or Rhade, whichever you prefer.

[Private]

[identity profile] seeyaduke.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I see, Gaheris. I had considered that, but I'm afraid people knew me before, so there was little point to it.

So, darling, what are you in for, as they say?
truth_is_cold: (rhade - cheater)

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2011-09-25 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
Betrayal.

Apparently the most hated of all unforgivable transgressions, from what I've gathered from others. More cultures need to teach their children to expect such things.

I take it you're one of our contingent who happens to not be from Earth.

Don't worry, darling, no discrimination here from me.

Descended from humans, at least; a product of eugenics.

I'll try to represent my genes well.

I see. Interesting. You intrigue me, darling. I expect we're going to get to know each other well.

Or we'll loathe each other in three days. It is the Barge after all.

Perhaps it is my own discrimination speaking but since arriving, I've found the women on board infinitely more tolerable than the majority of the men.

Hmm. I find that sort of honesty refreshing, especially here.

How long have you been here for?

I know the first flood- which I was thankfully spared from, involved some sort of Valentine's Day ordeal.

So between eight and nine months? I've stopped caring. It's either don't care or [want to blow up the ship] go through some futile escape attempt.

I'm planning one, by the way. The dear Coordinator you mentioned is certain of it. I've been using games of chess and Go to communicate secret messages.

You must have arrived around the time I've left.

Hmm. You're very trusting telling me this when you don't know me, darling.
truth_is_cold: (rhade - curious)

Oh, but it's a foolproof plan. No one will ever foil it. [He will never stop being amused by this. Never.]

Oh. Damn. I suppose I'll have to go back to playing games like someone not plotting malicious evil, shouldn't I?
