You know what's cool about breaches? I mean sure, the ship is falling to pieces and the Admiral is a horrible driver and in all likelihood we'll eventually crash on some poor unsuspecting planet and it'll be horrible. No, wait, getting off topic there.

Anyway, the cool thing about breaches? I think I know how to ride a horse now. I'm not sure I'll ever get to use the skill again, but hey! I can ride a horse.

[ So she waved a gun around at people. She was pretty damn good at it too. ]

Just one thing. Admiral? Next time can you aim for a hole on the side of an era where women can do something awesome without being looked at funny? Seriously. If it's not risqué dancers and housewives it's saloon girls and school teachers. I'm starting to think you're a little bit sexist.

[ Private to Bruce ]

So how was life as a Deputy? [ You can probably tell she's concerned about the fact that you were armed and dangerous. ]

You could always go home if the conditions here don't meet your exacting standards.

I can assure you, however, that the Admiral doesn't care if you feel slighted because history is sexist.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Who's complaining? Apart from the citizens of the planet we crash on and half of the barge.

You're in cahoots with him, aren't you? You and your sordid love affair with history in patriarchal areas of the world. You know in some cultures the women were in charge.

[subtlescience]

Cahoots? Did you write that with a straight face, Miss Brown?

...I think I'd best leave this conversation to someone with a background in psychiatric medicine.

You don't know me very well, do you? It's called a sense of humor. It comes highly recommended, you should try it some time.

[subtlescience]

A sense of humour does not equate to wit. If no one is laughing, you might consider that you aren't funny.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

No no no. It's not about being funny, it's about having fun. Taking life with a grain of salt and a spoonful of sugar. Whistle while you work. [ Singsong: ] Always look on the bright side of life.

[Annnd...Steph wins because what in hell.]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for you and me! N is for anywhere and anytime at all...

[slayage]

[FIRST TIME SINCE THE BREACH THAT BUFFY'S BEEN ABLE TO FEEL CONNECTED TO SOMEONE. Good job, Steph.] Can I just say I think you're my new favorite person?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

It's the horse, isn't it. Chicks dig the horse.

[slayage]

You caught me. [Smiiiile!] Also, pointing out the misogynistic culture of the wild wild west earned you points too.

On the plus side, I think I might be a better cook now. [A beat.] In theory.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't believe how many times I was told I was being 'un-lady-like'. Then again, I was the one doing tricks on my horse.

Aw man, you got actually useful skills? I still burn my waffles almost every time.

[slayage]

You did horse-tricks? That's useful. [A beat.] Ish. [NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT ELISABETH SUMMERS. NOPE.] I've totally had guys on horseback trying to kill me. So hey. You never know when it could come in handy.

Like I said... In theory. My usual cooking skills lie somewhere between the art of reheating takeout and putting the cereal box next to the bowl and milk.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

It would be, if I had a horse. I don't even have a motorcycle anymore.

Ever try mashed potatoes? The worst thing that could happen is you make some bad mashed potatoes. There aren't that many ways it can go wrong.

Define "sexism".

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

...Seriously?

[ifightfor]

Yes.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Uh, it's a form of discrimination based on your gender. Like, women can only have certain jobs and do certain things.

[ifightfor]

Query: Why?

Further query: Gender differences nontrivial among Users. Males and females show distinct cognitive differences, distribution of muscle mass, size, etc. Optimization of employment on biological basis "sexism"?

[Granted he's one to talk about size and muscle mass, TINY LITTLE PROGRAM.]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Why is there discrimination? Gimme a few months back home, I'll probably have to write a five page essay on it for Psych. But yeah, that's mostly how it originated. There are a lot of times and places in human history where people take it too far, though.

Why do you call them Users?

[ifightfor]

Users are not Programs. User analogous to human.

JA307020 is a Program.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

That's you? Cool. Uh, is there something else I can call you? 'JA307020' is kind of a mouthful.

LOL and I am lame. Text, assume all the others were. XD;

LOL I am video

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Rinzler, huh? I'm Stephanie. What're you in for?

Text.
