116 - Taking a break from his emo

[major_west]

If I-- that is, my... soldier... shagged any of... er, your loved ones, I apologise. My men... they were all really quite young, and they hadn't seen any women in quite some time before we died. They thought the human race was dead-- all of it, except for us. You can imagine the relief, then, that one would feel upon coming out of that situation.

That's all I have to say about that flood.

[ADDED LATER: Private to the Admiral & Morgan]
I want them back. I don't care if they're here or on another Barge, somewhere else.

[OOC: ALRIGHT, so Clifton was sort of hitting on all sorts of ladies because he just got back from an apocalyptic sausage fest; HOWEVER, I'm not patient enough to hit on all the girls, and I didn't troll quite as many as I'd intended. If you were playing an easy chick and want to assume he boned you, GO AHEAD. Otherwise, I figure there's just an annoyed Paddy and Cox C:]

Me neither.

You live here long enough and you start to forget how fucking harrowing the floods can get.

I'm sorry.

There wasn't any point in...

In bringing back old ghosts.

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

No?

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

No.

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

His predicament incites you to nothing, then?

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

...

What do you want from me, Morgan?

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

I promised him I would speak to the Admiral.

However, I think it would have more meaning if you were the one to do it.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

The Admiral doesn't listen to me. If he had, they'd all be back.

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

Did you try making a deal with him?

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Not explicitly. But I've raged about their absence and my survival enough. You'd think he'd have gotten the message.

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

Perhaps you should try something other than raging. He doesn't budge a lot when people scream at him. You should know that by now.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

...fine.

How did you like him, anyway?

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

He was polite -- even though I only got to speak to him just the once, he trusted me.

...It was very different, meeting him face to face. I wish I had more time to talk to him.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Yes, he was always good at... following orders.

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

It was hard just leaving.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Leaving?

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

I stayed with him until he fell asleep. I didn't want him to be all alone.

[Private]

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yes. I'm sure he appreciated it, even if he didn't show it. He always put on a cocky front.

[Private]

[gimmethemap]

I'd imagine that if he didn't, he wouldn't have let me do it.

I'm really proud of you for doing your best to come to an accord with the Admiral for him.

Thank you. I just hope it works. Then I can start on the others.
