077 - Unicorn rides lead to something similar to post-coital AWWWKWARDNESS

[major_west]

All things considered, I really enjoyed that port. I believe it's our first without a casualty, horrible curse, great disaster... etc.

But I honestly can't believe that I took a ride on a unicorn.

Congratulations, we've all managed to overcome our innate desires to kill and destroy for one entire week.


[Private to Billy]
I've decided to return to my room, so... Thank you for your hospitality.

[OOC: West, being neurotic and pulling away for no discernible reason? LOLOL SAY IT AIN'T SO. And yeah, he doesn't know about whatever deaths might've happened in the port. AND STRIKES ARE CERTAINLY READABLE IF YOU TRY]

Alright, so I'm terrible at this.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you are!

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, I could be worse, if I wanted to.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

See, now I have to wonder what you could do that would be worse than the "Don't worry! Everyone thinks we're doing it!" method of reassurace...

"Don't worry, everybody thinks I'm shagging you to pay for my room and board."

Is this why you thought now was the time to move back to your room?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

No, it's...

I'm a mess and all, and I really am not an ideal guest and--


And you were joking just now and I made an complete fool of myself, didn't I?

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you made a complete fool of yourself, and you were wrong.

You're the best guest ever. Obviously.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

You only say that because I clean up after you.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Hey, cleaning up after me is what makes you the best guest ever!

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

You say that now, but just wait until I alphabetise your workbench.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

How will I find my screwdrivers?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Simple. They'll be beside the--

...

To be perfectly honest, I don't know what half of the things on your workbench are. I assume if I touch anything there, the Barge will explode.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Well, that is how science works...

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Particularly when you have a PhD in Horribleness?

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

And a BA in evil studies!

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

And now I really quite regret my degree in History. It just seems so inadequate.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Well, it won't get you into the Evil league of Evil, that's for sure...

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

No, but it did get me into Sandhurst, so I got what I wanted out of it...

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Well, I guess if you're content to aim low...

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Just for that, I'm going to tinker with this half-finished ray gun of yours.

Private

[my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com]

Don't do it West! You have no idea what it can do!

...Heck, I have no idea what it can do!

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a good thing I'm not feeling suicidal today.

...

Thank you. You really-- I feel better now.
