Who: "Kaneis Major"
Broadcast: Fleet-Wide, text
Action: SS Wonderduck
When: December 6th

[He's not particularly hiding whose posting, nor does he want to advertise either. So, sometime during the day, a text post will appear on the network. ]

Anyone got any suggestions for ways to entertain yourself? Because I have way too much spare time right now and I'm sick of watching that shopping thing.

Extra points if it's something you can do alone. Offers for intercourse will only be taken up on for a charge.
[After meeting half you people? He's not giving it out for free]

Also suggestions for ways to prepare Tallbird or places I can find yarn would get my thanks.

[He shuts off the text feed. If you are on the Wonderduck, he can be found on the bridge sitting in his pilot seat. He seems to have taken to holding onto a ostrich bobble head and flicking the head occasionally with his fingers to see what happens. Goddess he's so bored.]

[ Okay, she might just come over and pull on his hair a little. ]

You know very well I didn't mean it that way.

Even if any of us here were interested, the only "complication" I can think of that would come up is that you might get attached. Isn't that so? And you don't need that sort of intimacy for that to happen in the first place.

[ WHAT SORT OF PEOPLE HAVE YOU BEEN FUCKING, ZELOS WILDER!? ]

Er... Have you considered maybe not sleeping around then with total strangers?

Have you ever been with someone you've actually been deeply in love with?

Then I suppose explaining to you what "the fun in it" is would be akin to explaining intimacy to a virgin. It's not something I can really accurately describe; it must be experienced.
proteusmoon: (☾ I know you think)

[ That's it; Operation: Set the Pilot Up has been queued. ]

I wouldn't call myself an expert on love, but I think falling in love is partially dependent on a person's disposition. Some people... look for love in the wrong places... or don't permit themselves to truly experience being in love even when they have found someone compatible.

[ The way she says this is a rather different manner from how she said her earlier statement about experiencing love. She sounds like she's reflecting on her own past this time. But then that contemplative look is gone and she's back to being harmlessly critical and actually smiling. ]

Be open to it and I'm sure you will find someone one day. I truly believe that. I won't believe that we live in a multiverse so cruel that someone like you would be alone forever.

[ And then she pets his hair as if smoothing over the lock she tugged on a moment ago. ]

[ Wow, rude. She didn't even say anything awful. She's clearly shocked by the reaction, seeing it as rather unwarranted. She's also offended by his tone and a little hurt too, but it seems pointless to make that known. It's not the first time he's snapped at her for seemingly no good reason, after all. She keeps her voice calm and even when she responds, her neutral expression belying her emotions. ]

...Fine.

As I've overstepped your boundaries more than once now, I'll remind you that if you're troubled and uncomfortable with my presence and, thus, with being on this ship, you need only transfer to another.

[ Then she makes ready to leave the bridge. She doesn't like just leaving the scene this way and she reminds herself that she didn't really properly thank him for saving her from the slavers the other day, but... well, she doesn't doubt he'd take it as insincere now. Instead, she just turns to make her exit. ]
