Last time that happened, I was an otter. This time, nothing. I know that some people were the same as they were last time and some were different. It's...interesting, isn't it? That it's the exact same flood, but has different effects the second time around

Let's do that. See you after dinner-pub, your room, mine?

Private

[greatlightother]

My room. Unless you want something to drink other than wine or vodka.

Private

[mrs_persson]

Either of those sounds perfectly agreeable. And for some reason we have cake in the kitchen which needs to get eaten by someone, so why not us?

Private

[greatlightother]

I like the way you think, Una.

Let's do that. I'll get some of it to make sure no one else has the same idea.

It seems to me that you're no less capable after your...er, episode. But I'm certainly willing to continue to help out if you feel you'd be more comfortable. Either in an official or unofficial capacity.

I...also know this may be a touchy subject, but...I'd like to give Sergeant Howie a party.

[Private]

[greatlightother]

I'd rather just be finished with the whole mess, but any unofficial help would be appreciated.

As for that...I...um...hm. A party?

[Private]

[19centconstable]

Unofficial help it is. And I hope you'll offer me the same.

Yes. I wouldn't like to call it a going away party, but...

[Private]

[greatlightother]

I don't...I don't know if...

Hm.

Constable, this is difficult enough for me. Are you sure this is a good idea for him? Does he know about it?

Private

[damesuccubus]

Watching what?

Private

[greatlightother]

A movie. Like what plays on the televisions in the common rooms, or what you see as video on the communicator.

Private

[damesuccubus]

...what sort of movie?

Private

[greatlightother]

I have a few choices for you. Just come and see. I have two more gowns for you. You have to come and get them anyway, so you might as well look at the movies while you're here.

[you_run_i_chase]

I was still the fucking same. I think the Admiral likes me cute and furry.

[greatlightother]

I like you cute and furry.

[you_run_i_chase]

You would, Sunshine.

[greatlightother]

...tell me someone snuggled you.

[greatlightother]

No, there's something you can read into most things. And you don't have to look too hard.

[greatlightother]

And isn't ignorance strength, comrade?

[A sigh.] It's not ignorance. It's just...people not wanting to find meaning where there shouldn't be.
