Theatrical Muse 162

I would like to go home. Not home to the cold steel bosom of the Alliance, but home, even though I'm quite sure there's precious little left of it anymore. I don't know what I'd do there, for surely there is no way for a man with my past to simply start over again. But I should like to see it again, to remember what it was like

Come to think of it, never thought I'd hear you say it either. Ain't so bad as it all sounds...

OOC: I thought this was beautifully written. I always felt like anytime he spoke in the movie before he started losing his cool, he sounded like he was reciting poetry. This made me feel the same way. Very good!

Times change, Captain Reynolds, and we must change with them. I imagine it will be ... strange, at first. Changing course so drastically must be disorienting.

OOC: Thank you!! I was nervous, because this was the first time I'd written for him in first person, and I wasn't sure I could get the voice right ... but now I know I did! Thank you thank you thank youuuuu!!

Oh I've done it a few times when pushed to it. Conjure it's always a bit askew, but it's easier dependin' on the situation.

Changin' with the times? Never been very good at that... at fittin' into a mold.

Your challenge is fitting into the mold while mine is breaking free of it. There's something poetic in that, I think.

If you need a name, I have several.

*intrigued* Askanison? It's almost as out of place as Prisicilla.

Yes, I am generally considered to be the "chosen one" of the Askani religion. Which will probably never exist, since my own actions wiped out the future timeline in which the religion came to be.

It's complicated. As opposed to the rest of my life, which is extremely simple.

*slightly amused* It's always the simple ones who leave complexity in their wake.
