Entry tags:
three ☀ video / optional action
Who: Mal
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: On the Caprine if anyone desires it! I'm flexible.
When: 6/20.
[As in her first broadcast, Mal can be found tinkering around in the engine room, elbows-deep in something interesting and greasy. This time, though, she seems pensive, deep in thought, perhaps about Deep Subjects and Philosophies.]
[She is, in fact, thinking about something entirely different.]
[When she speaks, it's in tones of airy contemplation, meant to disguise the fact that part of her thinks this is a terrible idea.]
Here is an interesting thing: vampires, for all their reputation for seduction, really aren't that good at it, at least where I come from. When you're always hungry, you mostly rely on people leaving windows open at the right time and then being a bit woozy from blood loss. For the really old ones, the ones who can barely stand without crumbling to dust and really hate sunshine, that's the only way they can eat, and if they tried to seduce anyone their arm would probably fall off.
[She twists at a mysterious innard of the ship with a wrench, tongue in her cheek.]
We've had enough excitement for a while, I think, so why not something boring instead: tell me about romance in your world. Describe the sorts of flowers you like to kill for love. Rate yourself on a scale of one to ten, complete dunce to Casanunda, if you like.
Actually, everyone should have to do that. That's compulsory. I will genteelly admit that I am a nine. [Liar.]

Better question is: who're you trying to impress, and what kinda dancing do they like?
no subject
[You don't get the answer to the first question, mysterious stranger, but the second:] I don't know. Yet. I suppose she'll see this and yell at me and I'll get my answer that way.
I am learning things, though. [Dance things. Probably not the right kind.]
no subject
[ Then he laughs. ]
Cooking a meal for them usually doesn't hurt your chances either.
no subject
[Cooking, at least, she can probably do. Or attempt. Shufti was always the chef, but . . .]
Are you some kind of romance expert, then?
no subject
No. Just somebody who knows people.
no subject
[She's moderately impressed with you, Bucky. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.]

That I will, but I honestly don't think I'm gonna have any luck there either.
[ A beat. ]
James Barnes. Nice to meet you.

no subject
How long've you been here, if you don't mind my askin'?
no subject
A few months. Not very long in the grand scheme of things. And you - you're new, aren't you?
no subject
[ He makes an amused noise. ]
So, does that make it a mild objection?
no subject
[She actually does know what they're called, but sometimes she's stubborn, all right.]
no subject
[ Tablets? You mean that thing Moses brought down from the mountain? ]
no subject
[And she would be right! But not by as many years as she thinks.]
no subject
[ Vampire and all!! There's no competition here. ]
I'm still old by my world's standards.
no subject
[But then, neither does she.]
no subject
[ He smirks. ]
I'm ninety-seven.
