Who: Greed
Broadcast: All
Action: The Huntress
When: Now!

That was real mature of you guys all skipping out on the Huntress just because I was made captain. [Literally just inputted a request into the computer for that. Nothing more.] I hope you all enjoy your new ships, because the Huntress is going to do just fine without you.

[He is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OKAY being ditched. He didn't even like you guys! Except he's not, because it makes him cranky and he's stuck kicking around on the Huntress trying to beat the high score on their new pinball machine. He's never played anything like it before, so he finds the experience pretty frustrating. But if anything, he's just bored and annoyed at having his 'possessions' taken away from him.]

Huh. That's how it works, then? Kind of anticlimactic, when you think about it.

So? Were you hoping someone died instead?

Not particularly. But it's kind of a dick move leaving his own ship just to head off home.

[ That's enough to get her to yell into the communicator. Her voice noticeably cracks as she raises her voice. Still not over him leaving. ]

It wasn't his choice! He wouldn't have left me all alone!

And how do you know that? Hell, someone offers me a trip home, I'd probably do the same thing.

[Which sure he called Cullen a dick for that. But Greed already knows he's a dick, so whatever.]

[ Surprisingly, she doesn't burst out crying, because now she thinks he's just trying to rile her up. He didn't know Cullen or the previous crew members anyway. She frowns, narrowing her eyes. ]

Yes, because I'm sure everyone else is as much of a big fat, greedy selfish jerk like you.

There are a lot of greedy selfish jerks in the universe. Better to just ignore them instead of giving them the time of day.

[ now that he's given elize her chance to tell the guy off. ]

Sorry your friend left. I'm sure he would've stuck around if he could've.

[ judging from elize's reaction, anyway ]

He the reason why you transferred?

[ Many people left. Learning of the others leave one-by-one was also difficult for her to bare. Cullen leaving was the final straw. He became family to her. She's quiet a moment, before finally answering. ]

...yes. He went away. Before that, there were a lot of other people on the Huntress.

[ She pauses, biting down on her lower lip briefly. It's still painful to talk about... so, she's going to go back to being huffy about Greed. ]

I don't trust that jerk as captain.

Neither do I, he's an idiot.

[ han lets the rest of what she said go. she obviously doesn't want to talk about it, so he lets it be. but good to know, the formerly full crew on the huntress. how often do people leave around here? ]

But he's an idiot who likes getting rises out of people. Don't give him what he wants; just ignore him, it'll drive him crazy.

[ han has known greed for literally five minutes but he knows the type. ]

He should be fired, but they don't have forms for that.

[ During her first meeting with Greed, she initially didn't care who was captain. How quickly she changed her mind. She sounds a tad calmer, speaking to Han. ]

Are you still on the same ship?

Someone has to make sure the ship doesn't crash.

[ or get used for illicit activities. he's the only criminal allowed on board, thank you. ]

There's another captain on the Huntress, his name's Kurt. This guy just applied and got promoted, too. Apparently.

[ han is the only person on the ship who actually was the captain of a spaceship before arriving here, but details. ]

Oh, Kurt...

[ Honestly, he didn't sound cut out to be captain when she heard his transmission, but she'd certainly rather have Kurt be captain of the Huntress instead.

The part about Greed just up and applying for captain is news to her. She was aware of two captains, but someone just up and applied so easily...? She makes a small pout with her lips. ]

Atroma is stupid.

[ there's a sigh at elize's 'oh kurt', because it basically confirms what han had been thinking. this is... a mess. ]

Took the words right out of my mouth, kid.

[ wearily. ]

I wonder if we can just stage a mutiny.

A mew-tin-ee?

[ Please define this for the little girl... ]

When the crew abandons their command and takes over the ship from the captain.

[ which is also why han just

travels by himself

way easier ]

O-oh...

[ Remembering that word for possible future use. ]

Greed's a dumb jerk. [ Not stopping with the name calling. ] It probably wouldn't be difficult.

[ there's a short laugh ]

Probably not, no.

But I'll do you a favor and record it if it happens.

[ That actually gets the tiniest of smiles out of her. She looks down a little to hide it. ]

Sure...

Hey, that's not true. I'm not even remotely fat.

[What does he look like? Gluttony? Yeesh.]

[ She might be taking Han's advice, by ignoring him. Sort of. Video feed's still going. She glances away from the feed, huffing out an annoyed sound. ]
