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.

[Hey, he learned his lesson. Sort of. And anyway the meds are keeping him from getting into too much trouble. He's just asking.]

Date: 2012-09-12 05:25 am (UTC)...shit, it's like the whole experience shook things loose in my head, and now I'm still sorting shit out. Like a shop after an earthquake or something.
Kate did get out. Maybe I wouldn't feel so bad if she hadn't just lost her whole family, just like I had. But I do. Fuck it, man, it was my plan to take them hostage in the first place. It was my call.
She didn't want revenge. She almost went with me. But I was done dragging her into dangerous situations.
[He hesitates. He's smoking too fast, like he does when he's really worried and doesn't know how to talk about it.]

Date: 2012-09-12 11:02 am (UTC)Okay, good. I mean...sucks for the rest of 'em, but it was just a preacher, Seth. They're a dime a dozen, you don't hafta feel so bad about it. Shit happens, man, wasn't like you asked for those freaks.
[But there's a silent question behind it all. What else, what are you holding back?]

Yeah, I ah...tried to warn you that I'd been thinking too much.

Date: 2012-09-13 02:41 pm (UTC)[He frowns, looks unsettled but really he's not the one who does the introspection thing. He still doesn't really think he needs to.]

Date: 2012-09-14 06:22 pm (UTC)I don't know. I don't know where I'm going with this.

Date: 2012-09-15 01:35 am (UTC)We got a future, a non-shitty future, waiting for us back home when we get the hell out of here. And I even have a plan to contribute to it while we're here.

Date: 2012-09-17 12:03 pm (UTC)You promise?
[Well. Mostly. But so long as Seth's sure:]
What kind of a plan?
no subject
Date: 2012-09-18 02:45 am (UTC)[He chuckles.] Well, it came to me while we were Indiana Jonesing our asses around. We go to all these different worlds, right? And we can't bring back weapons and shit, or cash because who knows if it'll pass if we get back home, right? But no matter where we go there are some things that never lose value.
Here, c'mon. Hold out your hands and close your eyes.

Date: 2012-09-19 09:07 pm (UTC)[Ordinarily he'd ask first, but it's Seth, and he mostly trusts that Seth knows what he's going.
No, make that always trusts that he knows what he's doing. He does as instructed, although it's clear he doesn't want to close his eyes.]
What, like jewelry? We're gonna be jewelry thieves now?

Date: 2012-09-20 05:10 am (UTC)There ya go...how do you like them apples?
[He smiles slowly.] My brother, we don't even have to do that. Every time we go to a normal Port we get money, right? We can shop for anything as long as it isn't weapons. We could pick up gold bullion, jewelry, what the hell ever, on this place's dime, and just save it all.
Basically I am proposing that we scam the fucking Admiral.
