ataraxion | 003 ☀ video ☀ show you the difference 'tween my gun and my pistol

[ Jaye's been restless and it's starting to get to her; starting to show, really, if the way she runs her hand through her hair and fidgets with her silver wolf earrings before speaking counts as 'showing'. ]

I'm looking for a fight... or a spar, I guess. No guns, no blades -- in fact, if it's a weapon you brought with you to meet, you can't use it. I'm looking for hand-to-hand more than anything. [ Hmm, what else. ] No fatalities or potentially fatal injuries.

[ There's a pause, one lip curling upward slightly. ] You can pull your punches because I'm a girl, but I won't be as nice to you. [ Confident much? Well yes, because she never said anything about not shapeshifting. Besides, this is a good way to assess threat levels.

There's a pause though, then some more fidgeting with one of her earrings as she continues, on a different topic now. ]

Stefan, Bass -- other than the general creepy factor and how bad it smelled, that walk wasn't half bad. Not as useful as we were hoping, but maybe we can try again later.

Metalman, Kirk the Lipstick Captain, Dances With Bears or Goggles or Brick Shithouse, whatever I'm supposed to call you, and anyone else who was all concerned -- we're fine, we've been back, we didn't get lost, none of us are dead, and I got the chemical smell out of my nose.

[ And another pause... ]

Seriously, anyone who wants to spar. Let's go.

Where are your fights? On this ship?

[He isn't expecting an answer, because he knows they aren't. The red smile would move to fucking with everyone, eventually, he had no doubt about that, but it wasn't something anyone could fight. Yet. And she wasn't on the list. Tearing off looking for a fight that wasn't yours - that was reckless and stupid.]

Stay in the light.

They might have been. That's what I need to find out.

[ Aberdeen had said Scott isn't here, but the knife was in her locker. He could have been here, once, only to disappear again. ]

It's a little late for that.

[She talks about something possibly happening in the past, and if it's not on the network then it's from before. The unknown time where something happened that left the ship in this state. But nothing he's seen so far has given any clues on how it went down, whatever it was, so even if that is where her finding out will take her, he doubts she'll get an answer.]

No, it isn't.

[She might have gone exploring once, but she was back in the light now. She could stay there.]

[ All she needs is a list of names, of those who were here before. ]

It is. [ Eleven years too late. She only belongs in the light if it's to keep her people safe. ] Besides, I can't let you have all the fun.

This isn't about fun.

[No, he's had enough of this. He'd already done too much for the lying girl, he didn't need another person thinking he was invested in them. She wasn't Kyra and she clearly didn't want to listen (but he still says it, one more time).]

Stay in the light.

[He cuts the connection.]
