[040] I had visions, I was in them

[notafuckingnut]

[PUBLIC - video]

I got an idea. A brilliant fucking idea.

How about we just...don't get off when the ship stops. I mean...it's pretty much always some shithole, an' even when it isn't you can't stick around. So what's the point in gettin' off at all? Just tie yourself down if you gotta, or stay off the damn deck period, and fuck it.

Then at least we wouldn't have everybody so fuckin' pissed about it all the time.


[PRIVATE to Lua]

How long I gotta stay on this shit again?


[PRIVATE to Seth]

Can we do something? Like...I don't even care what. But I'm going fucking stir crazy over here. And you owe me.

Do you really want cabin fever to run rampant on this ship?

[notafuckingnut]

Who said anything about cabin fever? It's a big boat.

I'm just saying. If everybody's gonna bitch about how bad it is every time they leave every single time it happens, then just don't get off. Problem solved.

[notiaraincluded]

Not that big.

Besides, complaining's like the official sport on the Barge. You're better off tuning most of that shit out.

[notafuckingnut]

Doesn't mean I should have to listen to it in the first place.

[truth_is_cold]

Because then we would wake up in a strange bed shackled at the ankle to another random passenger in nothing but our underwear or lack thereof.

[It's true.]

[notafuckingnut]

...nah, that's something different though. That would happen either way.

[truth_is_cold]

I genuinely don't trust him not to do that, though. If he wants us off the ship, he'll manage a way to do it. In the last instance, everyone that was awake was transported off. We had no options.

[notafuckingnut]

Yeah, but...you could get back on at least. Once you figured out where it was.

[truth_is_cold]

Generally we couldn't. Most of us were dragged away and used for our captors decrepit laziness or vile entertainment before we had a chance to retaliate. I'm only grateful that it wasn't for food or procreation.

[Sorry for the overly practical dialog, Richie. He really hated that last port.]

In any case, it's incredibly foolish to place the blame on a victim for when something bad happens to them. It is the fault of the perpetrators.

[surrenders]

Long as it's helping you. Something wrong?

[She's used to keeping him occupied, but between him and Ladd and her real inmate someone had to give.]

[notafuckingnut]

No, not...I'm okay. It's fine, whatever. I was just...wondering.

[surrenders]

You hearing stuff again?

[notafuckingnut]

No... Well, I mean. Yeah, but. It's not that, that's normal, I can ignore it, it's fine. It's just...

[Shift shift, fidget fidget.]

When most people take shit. Like, 'cause they've got an infection or something so the doc gives 'em a scrip. They get to a point where they don't have to take it anymore 'cause they're fixed.

[Seth's eyebrows go up at Richie's last statement.]

I owe you? Who the fuck gave up any chance at a fucking normal life to look after your ass?

[Finally he just sighs and rakes a hand back through his hair.]

Come knock on my door. We'll come up with something.

[notafuckingnut]

[Don't say those things out loud, Seth. They hurt; it's not his fault.]

You sure? You're not busy or anything?

[alwayshasaplan]

[He never would. He's got a good censor. He's just having a shitty time.]

I am absolutely fucking sure. Besides, even if I was on shift I'd call off for this. Fuck it. I'll leave the door unlocked.

[notafuckingnut]

[WHAT HAPPENED SETH he will kick their collective asses if needed. He could use a distraction.]

Okay. Long as you're sure. I'll be there in a few.

[And "a few" later, there's a tentative knock followed by inching the door open and a Richie slipping inside.]

Not Here.

[trenchcoatedly]

[You shouldn't say that to your brother, Seth.]

^_^

[alwayshasaplan]

[He didn't! Thought it for a second though. It's been a long month. :/]

[strangehistorian]

I've been an advocate of this for awhile...

[notafuckingnut]

Well at least somebody else thinks it's a good idea.

[sharpememory]

Man, that alien beach resort was pretty fun though.

[notafuckingnut]

....I'll give you that one, it was pretty good.

[sharpememory]

Seriously! I went on a boat ride and everything. I even made out with someone.

[notafuckingnut]

Oh yeah?
