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.]

[He let's out a sigh]
I don't care if you do or don't, really. You're the one who asked!
Which sorry, just for reference, the answer's still no. I feel that sex between crewmates would have a tendency to complicate things more than I'd like, you know?
'Sides, knowing our budget? I don't think anyone on this ship could afford what I charge.
no subject
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.
no subject
Oh please, I don't get attached to who I sleep with. That's such an amateur move. [He rolls his eyes, but swivel his pilot seat to face her better]
The complication I'm talking about is when you sleep with someone you have to deal with? Is sometimes those people start to get these funny ideas that they got some sort of power over you because they saw you naked. Next thing you know? They're trying to get special favors out of you and/or think they don't have to take you half as seriously anymore. You know, like they actually think they were so good that it changed your life or something. [He makes a scoffing noise at that idea]
And then of course, they get real pissed when they find out that's not the case. [He shakes his head at that.] Even had a couple lovely ladies go so far as to send assassins after they found out our night together wouldn't keep me in line.
[Meltokian nobles. Truly a special lot. He tilts his head at her]
I'm not saying you would act like that specifically, but there's no promise that everyone who ever gets assigned to this ship wouldn't either- so why run that risk? [A small shrug] More trouble than it's worth.
no subject
Er... Have you considered maybe not sleeping around then with total strangers?
no subject
Now now, where's the fun in that?

But...not everybody's lucky. If they were, well- my record would be a lot shorter.

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. ]
no subject
Wow, that's a...real sweet thing to say, Captain. [He doesn't buy it in the slightest. He's seen too many things in his life that just proved too well how cruel this multiverse could be. And more importantly, he can see the writing on the wall about where this is going. So. Time to stop it before it gets further.]
But I know this talk. I've had it before. And lemme tell you once nicely- I'm not interested.
So how about you just drop it and let me make my own choices about my personal life?
no subject
...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. ]
no subject
[But...it's not like he had anywhere to go really. What was he going to do? Take his chances on another ship?]
[His gloved fist clenches and unclench at his side as he stares at the ground. He reminds himself it's just a vague suggestion for now. He's not being kicked off the ship just yet.]
...Understood, Captain.
[He'll let her leave.]
