[pantheraliam]

The TFLN meme, but like, chill.

Ask, and ye shall receive. I'm pretty sure we all know what to do here. Go mad, my friends.

I believe the term would be 'squicked out' or something of that nature.

And money is tempting, but that also means interacting with more people who aggravate me, and I am currently already handling three peoples' worth of that.

[eights_and_aces]

You're unsquickable. After all you're The Commander Ivanova.

TBF, there are far more of those, than those who don't. May as well put a good spin on it.

[god_sent_me]

NOW you try to get back in my good graces.

It worked. This time.

Surely there is a third, more palatable option: someone actually worth my time.

[eights_and_aces]

😍
That would be optimal, yes. But who?

And what kind of time? That does make a difference ya know.

[god_sent_me]

Someone who dotes, but not too much. Someone who is attractive, but not carved of Grecian marble. Cultured, but not snooty.

And who would always be available to cook and give massages.

I think it will take advanced genetic engineering and a massive scientific team.

[eights_and_aces]

Hrmmm that is a list. You're definitely going to have to spring for masseuse classes at the least....

And maybe cooking lessons. That one could go either way.

So there is going to be some capital investment, aside from the genetic engineering and all that other stuff.

[god_sent_me]

Which loops us back around to the coffee conversation. It's like Sisyphus.

[eights_and_aces]

Without even trying either. I can get you some coffee.

Hrmm, how to get capital without having the Commander hurt anybody for profit.....

[god_sent_me]

It will be appreciated. I feel a headache coming on.

And it won't happen via my pay packet, I can say that much. And there's no future in being the criminal who robs banks. Now, being the criminal who owns the bank...

[eights_and_aces]

Black, right?

Well you do have the entire corruption angle. You could bury it in training requisitions.

[The girl was clever.]

And on the way. You're quarters or the bridge, cause the last time I was poking around there people were a little tense

[god_sent_me]

As the night and as bitter as a politician.

And I'm going to pretend you didn't say that, and just come by my quarters. Nobody else will be.

[eights_and_aces]

I didn't say anything. [Technically true.]

[Putting on the little thing everyone stuck to the back of their hand and transferring the feed as the girl bounced out of her tiny quarters to the Zocalo. There was this one stall...]

But now I am. Honestly? There would be.

[god_sent_me]

While I'm sure some corrupt officers might go for such a thing, I am not one of them.

I am, more often than not, the thing they fear. And who wants to shove them out an airlock.

[eights_and_aces]

What is it with y'all and airlocks?

And no you're not corrupt. I'd smack someone for that.

[god_sent_me]

They're all over the place and extremely efficient and make a happy little 'whoosh' noise when you shove an enemy out of one.

[eights_and_aces]

.....

I'm never pissing you off ever.

[god_sent_me]

Oh, if only everyone made that logical, rational decision, I would live a much easier life.

[eights_and_aces]

Easier, but then you wouldn't be able to grouse.

And that seems to be a very Russian thing.

[god_sent_me]

Oh, it absolutely is. It doesn't count unless you can expound on your situation at length. Possibly for several hundred pages of a novel.

[eights_and_aces]

How can you fight against such tradition? You really can't.


It isn't really you fault
