To answer your question: yes.

[/Private]


This idleness is no good for me, and many of the things I enjoyed doing aren't exactly accessible here.

I need a... hobby. What does everybody else do to pass the time? Aside from writing in journals.

Well, I used to clean my guns, have a bit of fun with the gang, and drink. I ain't been able to do a couple of those things here, as I reckon you might have figured.

It was about the same for me. I'm starting to wish I'd 'expanded my horizons' a bit more.

Because I can't do any of those things here? Aside from drink, of course.

'sok. Drinking's good enough in itself.

I made art with candles...

....art with candles? I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.

What's it like?

Wax can be so useful.

I suppose, if you're into those sorts of--

Oh. Mmhm. Wax art.

Guess I don't really have an 'eye' for art.

Little beauty is here.

I make my own.

Coke. Why? You do any?

You gamble?

I'm not adverse to it. It could liven things up around here-- well, if we had any currency.

Date: 2008-07-31 08:17 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
Fuck currency. You not got any possessions?

Look... every witless cunt guy, his mother and his mother's mother know how to work a deck. I helped run an executive game a coupla times down my way. Back then, it was what, five thousand dollars a seat? Lasted up to three days.

High stakes, anyhoo.

We just need a room... aaaand enough guys to put together a decent pot.

Could even keep it tame for now. Low stakes.

Some.

Well, I know Charlie's been wanting to start up a game. And I'm sure Lloyd would be happy to join. Most of the others probably think they're too good for us 'mere mortals,' though.

Date: 2008-07-31 01:11 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
Some'll work.

And sure -- I'm down with whoever.

We start out small, but have it open table, yeah? If them entities up there decide to join in, then they can. If not? ... Then no worries. It stays a quiet do.

Hell, we can leave an advertisement if need be. However you wanna play it, ah-- I don't think I caught your name.

Excellent. Certainly sounds more interesting than talking through journals. And the Barge likes to supply me with liquor ever since I tried to quit drinking it keeps appearing in my room. so we should have plenty on that end.

Major Henry West, by the way. And yourself?

Date: 2008-08-01 05:37 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
Yeah. Couple of days, we can organize some meet in a common room. Set up a table, bring some decks, some crap from the mess hall and said drink.

Wait---supplies restock?

... Right. That count for more than liquor?

Ralph Cifaretto. And Major, huh? US army or what?

From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
Some supplies do, but I've also heard of things disappearing. I suppose it's up to whatever amuses the Admiral most.

No, British. I take it you're an American, then.

Date: 2008-08-01 06:22 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
How about snow?

Another? Huh. British invasion, right?

And yeah. Italian American... New Jersey.

Pardon? I could barely read that.

I suppose there are quite a lot of my countrymen here. The Barge has some great diversity, though. English, American, alien, French...

...

Coke.

C. Toot. Rocks. Stones. Blow.


And Aliens? What?

Date: 2008-08-01 07:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
Oh.

If you have some and-- ....I don't know. Perhaps you'll find out when you run out.

"Time Lords" and people from... Star Wars.

Date: 2008-08-01 07:12 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
Rightrightright.

Star Wars? The movie?

Date: 2008-08-01 07:16 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
Yeah. And from... after the films, I suppose. Harrison Ford Han Solo and his too great a twat to be in any film son.

Date: 2008-08-01 07:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
So they guy I talked to before -- the one who said he was Han. He actually was Han? Like... Harrison Ford, Han? George Lucas. Galaxy far, far away?

...

No, purgatory, I can believe. This? Nuh-uh.

I suppose so. I'm not really sure how this all actually works, myself.

It's very, very real. Unfortunately.

Date: 2008-08-01 07:44 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
I'd rather not think about it.

And, ah, I was never really a fan... but since when was there a kid?

Ah whatever the fuck. I'll keep stuhm till I see his face.

Done deal on the game then?

Date: 2008-08-01 07:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com
I don't know, myself. But he says he's Han Solo's kid and he's always talking about the Force and all that rubbish, so...

Absolutely.

Date: 2008-08-01 07:53 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com
So long as he knows how to shut the fuck up about it... then whatever. None of my business, right?

Great. Just cluck when you're ready to set 'em up, yeah?

I'll admit that I was glad to give it, though I hardly expected the subject would even come up.

But let's not make this an awkward point between the two of us. I'm sure I could do far more interesting things to earn that.

I suppose I was full of surprises at that age.

As though things were anything but awkward before?

From: [identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com
Things weren't awkward. For you, they were just probably uncomfortable, which is not the same thing. You were finnicky, and I was happy to prod and watch you twitch.

[Private to the Marquis]

Date: 2008-07-31 04:45 am (UTC)

You and your prodding.

.......I didn't twitch.

What would you like to call it, then?

If you were being proper you would not have reacted at all.

You protest too much.

I didn't used to. Coming here sort of... threw me out of my comfort zone.

I'm sure it's much easier to ignore things like carnal needs when there are more dire things going on, of course.

Even before all that. I had my own way of--

I kept myself busy. It made everything easier to deal with.
