096 - West is still an asshole

[major_west]

This is perhaps the first time I have been able to use these showers without having to bear witness to the aftermath of male shedding. Thank goodness for small favours and sudden departures.

[OOC: YEAH SO back when we had our hairy Italian guys, I was going to have West put up a big whiny post about the showers being gross with body hair. BUT NOW THEY'RE ALL GONE, BUT FOR RALPH, so you get the opposite post now. My characters love insulting each other]

Shedding? Is there something I should be aware of? Or be glad I should never need to be aware of?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

It depends. Are you a Warden or an Inmate?

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Warden. Why does this make a difference?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Because Wardens have the luxury of their own showers. We Inmates, on the other hand, find ourselves with community property, and some of our fellows don't know how to clean up after themselves.

Or didn't, I should say.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. I was merely curious, that is all. It could be a lot worse, I'm sure.

Who...shedded?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Very true. I could find myself with pink hair like the others, after all.

Some rather large men from New Jersey. They used to work in the kitchen.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Pink hair. How does one get pink hair at all?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Something to do with the showers; I'm sure somebody tampered with them. It must have only affected a few of the stalls, as the rest of us weren't affected by it.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound like a pleasant state of affairs. At least you don't have pink hair. Lovely.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Yes, I find myself rather fortunate for a change.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

May I ask who you are, sir? Merely out of curiosity.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Major Henry West. And yourself?

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Oh, in the Army? Colonel Edward Sexby. Edward or Sexby will do.

FINALLY somebody here outranks him

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Yes, what's left of the Army, although I haven't been active in well over a year now. It's a pleasure, Colonel Sexby.

I promise he won't pull rank... :P

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Neither have, I, actually. Lost a hand, you see. It's a pleasure, Major. Are there many other military men around here? I've met a few already.

pffth if he does, West will deserve it!

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

I find that few soldiers pass through here, although we have an abundance of... pilots.

Re: pffth if he does, West will deserve it!

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Pilots. You...may have to explain this word to me. Probably just a more modern thing than I am used to.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

It's more modern than I'm used to, as well, as I'm fairly certain all of ours come from, er... space.

Imagine a... ship that flies.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Ah, the space captains! I have met one of those, yes. I didn't quite know what to imagine but...that is helpful.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Right, that lot. The only other soldier I can think of is Adam. I believe he's fought in a war.

[accountsettled.livejournal.com]

Ah, very well. Have you fought in a war yourself, Major? I presume so, with that title, but you may live in very peaceful times.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Something like a war, yes.
