59 - Video - For once being kidnapped was a good thing

[ichoosefight]

Well. That was an experience. One that I wasn't actually warned about. And considering I've been here, what, ten months now? I think maybe we ought to add that into the welcome packet. "When we take port, for the love of god hold onto something".

[ Private to Dallas ]

You make it back okay? Sorry I went AWOL, I was busy 'going local'.

[ Private to Tim ]

Hey, I want to test something. Ever had a hack-off?

[ Private to Franklin ]

I've always sort of wondered. Can you still feel what's going on with me when I'm someone else?

I'm so sorry it had to go down that way...

You um...wanna try hanging out when we're both ourselves? Maybe we can find a copy of Cowboy Bebop/....

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

[ She just laughs. ] Yeah, definitely. Sorry for the, uh...

I think I know German now?

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Yeah? That's cool. No, don't worry about it, ok? I guess it was all necessary but you got the worst end of it anyway.

It was just...weird in the not-good way. Though you really did rock the tech-goddess role.

I'm taking the good and looking on the bright side of the bad. I'm horrible with languages and don't know my way around a windows normally, so this is like a whole new world for me. Assuming it sticks.

My inmate fell out of Zero, so I doubt that holding on will do much good in the event of a bad docking.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Great. That's just awesome. Really makes me feel better about my job.

[most_feared]

I think we're doing pretty good with the bullshit we're handed. As much as everyone has to put up with? I think you could be doing a lot worse.

I just keep telling myself: at least I haven't died yet.

[Private];

[vfranklinmott.livejournal.com]

No, I can't.

Wait, we had a port? I must've slept through it.

[Private];

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Yup. I fell off and Luke had to drag me back on board. You missed all sorts of cool tech.

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

What, you fell off?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

What, you didn't notice I was gone? I'm hurt.

Fell off and hit my head on the way down or something. Like a breach, only ten times weirder.

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

I kept getting lost. Apparently they don't use maps in the future.

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Actually they had these things that were sort of like gps, only much more efficient and pretty reasonably priced depending where you looked, but there's this one shop downtown where you can get just the insides so if you buy the cheapest version and take it to someone who knows what they're doing you can get one that works really--

[ Ahem. ]

Yeah no the people who lived there weren't big on maps.

[strangehistorian]

I...intend to. Or at least warn that people can be integrated, because I'm not sure holding on will help in the face of an arcanotemporal anomaly. Are you alright?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. I mean, I took an hour long shower to get the, uh, grime off of me, but no real damage. I'm just glad somebody got me back on board.

[peektuttut]

Hack-off?

[Private]

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Like a walk-off only with hacking. I'll take that as a no?

Re: [Private]

[peektuttut]

Never for fun. What's on your mind?

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles.] Did you fall overboard?

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's no laughing matter! I almost got left behind.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, you're right, you're right. [Presses lips together.] What happened, then?

Private

[failed-bluff.livejournal.com]

I was busy trackin' someone down the whole time. Figured I wouldn't bother with you. Still, gotta say, I'm impressed you actually came back.

Private

[ichoosefight.livejournal.com]

Oh, ouch. You really thought you would get rid of me that easily? Somebody would have noticed I was gone. [ She hopes. ]

Who were you tracking down?

Private

[failed-bluff.livejournal.com]

[He noticed! He just...didn't...care quite so much because he was more worried about Johnny. :c]

I think you oughta be the one tellin' me where you've been. Ain't you supposed to be reassuring me that you're not takin' off or somethin' like that?
