002. Sebastian Moran in: Colonel Moran's Jungle Adventure: Narrated by Sebastian Moran

[ Interesting thing about Sebastian Moran: he absolutely loves a good jungle. It doesn't matter what type, so long as it's interesting and He considers the Tranquility a jungle within itself, really, if jungles were composed of oddly mismatched architecture. The entire ship has offered him plenty of room to explore, though, and he's finally discovered the oxygen gardens.

He knows full well that there's not anything of the nasty, sharp-toothed, razor-clawed nature lurking in the gardens, but it's nice to be back in a familiar environment, so he's incredibly cheerful, whistling some semblance of a tune when the recording begins, his eyes scanning his surroundings beyond the view of the device. Suddenly, he stops his whistling and cracks a grin.
]

Damn. That'll be stuck up there all day now. [ He taps his temple. ] How far does all this go on, then? It doesn't seem nearly deep enough for my tastes.

[ Oh, another interesting thing about Sebastian Moran, by the way: he really loves to hear himself talk. Which means that for the next few minutes, the lot of you have to him narrate his own mini documentary. And his voice is not nearly as calming as Morgan Freeman's. ]

Maybe we'll catch a tiger, eh? [ He chuckles. ]

Damn near impossible to catch one of 'em by the toe and live to tell the tale, in case you ever wondered. They've got razor sharp claws that retract, five inches long on most of 'em. You'd probably be better off putting your head between their jaws and saving 'em the trouble of shredding you to bits.

[He continues on in this manner for five more minutes or so, rattling off strangely gorey facts about tigers and other beasties and jungles in the world's cockiest tone until--

The scheduled "rain" for the lower levels of the garden begins to fall heavily, instantly soaking him and mostly shutting him up beyond hushed swears as he fumbles to turn the device off. Thanks, Tranquility.

[ Yes, Amy. Hilarious. Actually, okay, it is a bit hilarious. ]

An enormous fan of tigers when I have the upper hand on them, the clever hellcats. Less of a fan of weather I can find every morning in London.

[ see, she's always right about these things. trust her. ]

So, you ... what, hunt tigers, then? [ actually sort of offended by this!! ] And you're not surprised by rain on a spaceship?

[ She's far sharper than he is, that's for sure. ]

We don't have spaceships in my time. Should I be surprised by rain inside of one?
sharp: (i can't breath and i can't smile.)

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-13 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hey, it's in the name, just like his. ]

Well, then I'd think this whole place should be a surprise. I've seen a forest on a spaceship before, but there were a lot worse things than tigers in them.
tigers: (I should have shot her then and there.)

voice;

[personal profile] tigers 2012-10-14 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
If I've never seen one, why should I be surprised by any of it? This could be completely normal for a space ship, from the jungle to the heartachingly depressing lack of tigers.
sharp: (i'll be your sky.)

voice; lol so meta don't even curr

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-14 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ awkward pause. ] Well, yeah, it could be. But space travel is bit of a shock for anybody, especially if you're from a whole other time period. [ well, wasn't really for vincent, so. maybe that whole theory just fell apart. nevermind. stick to it, pond. ] Nerves of steel then, eh? 'Course, you're the one trying to catch a tiger. Job of yours?
tigers: (We've been stung.)

voice; shhh meta forever it's fine

[personal profile] tigers 2012-10-15 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I think my initial shock nicely covers all other reason to be surprised.

As for the tiger hunting, more of a hobby. [ The skills for which do transfer over nicely to his actual job. Imagine that. ]
sharp: (we're still the same.)

voice;

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-16 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Shame I missed it, then.

[ OH, IF SHE ONLY KNEW. ] Hobby. Right. Can't say I see the appeal of hunting down innocent creatures, but since I'm wrong, what is it you do?
tigers: (I am a sportsman. Not a keeper.)

I'm second in charge of a thriving firm. I do a lot of things.
sharp: (and)

voice;

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-20 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds ... important.

[ jk sounds boring. ]

Like?
tigers: (Still. Game is game.)

voice;

[personal profile] tigers 2012-10-20 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm practically the structure for the entire firm.

[ lol no he's not he's a glorified henchman. ]

Not filling out paperwork and balancing the ledgers, if that's what it sounds like. I was a soldier, and my work reflects that.
sharp: (wait for me as long as it takes.)

voice;

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-22 04:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what it sounds like, to be honest.

[ hey at least she's admitting it. and now it sounds suspicious, not boring. ]

A solider, then. Right. I should have guessed that since you've gone all Rambo.
tigers: (Hold on a mo.)

voice;

[personal profile] tigers 2012-10-23 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, he's pretty much the most suspicious person ever. Don't mind him. ]

Gone all what's-it?
sharp: (and you show off your light.)

voice;

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-23 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Rambo. It's a film with— Err. Nevermind. Forget it!

[ not even going to bother explaining the reference. she's probably about a hundred years off. she tried. ]

Moving on. So, I wasn't far off when I asked if hunting was a job, was I?
tigers: (I believe in Sensation.)

voice;

[personal profile] tigers 2012-10-23 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes, but still. He would probably like Rambo, if he knew what it was. ]

You're in the right territory.
sharp: (make waves.)

voice;

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-24 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ considering he's already been deemed as such, it's probably going to be a nickname he'll be hearing again. one day she will (attempt to) explain. ]

Oh, I see. [ pauses, thinking. yep. he's a hitman. or whatever term they used back then. ] And how good of a shot would you say you are?
tigers: (Swapsies?)

voice;

[personal profile] tigers 2012-10-25 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Rambo, Seabass, Dumbastian, Moranchops, the list of nicknames continues to grow. But oh, Amy, you're quick. He isn't exactly the slickest person, but most people don't seem to figure it out so quickly.

Or, if they do, they humor him.
]

The best shot on the Indian sub-continent, and that ain't just me blowing smoke. I've an unrivaled bag of tigers to show for it, and even the men who tried to boot me off can't deny it.
sharp: (a depth of pure blue.)

voice;

[personal profile] sharp 2012-10-28 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Amy will take that as a compliment. Though she might be in the habit of humoring him, now that she knows she could be in danger of being shot. ]

Right. Remind me never to make you angry.
tigers: (It doesn't take much to make me happy.)

voice;

[personal profile] tigers 2012-10-29 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not really. Not unless she's under Moriarty's radar. Or you're Wichita and irritate him wayyy too much. That's the sad thing about Moran's life. ]

Certainly.
