[ Behold! On your screen is a whole plastic box-case thing of Reese's minis, the gold foil wrappers of each bite-sized piece winking in the horrible eye-blinding indoor lights of the ship. There's actually a reason for Isaac to be taking a video of an incredibly boring thing, though. ]

I found these in my locker after the jump. It's well over ten pounds of Reese's minis and is seriously too much candy for one person, so I'm giving a pound of these to the first couple people willing to sing Rolling in The Deep on the public network. [ No, really. He means it. ] And is there anyone on the ship who is Canadian and can play hockey and/or lacrosse? I've got my lacrosse stick and three balls to shoot, but not enough gear to really play. Or have anyone to play against.

[ There's also another thing, but it's slightly less boring. It's also a bit tricky, since it involves the monthly fur problem. ]

I'm also thinking of camping out on the gardens for a couple days, are the gardens back to being mostly safe again?

And you're going to give a pound to me because we're spontaneous besties- right?

Already in the mail, HH. [ He was going to say "man", but then his sentence sounded stupid in his head, so. ] Or I could drop it by? You can pick it up? I don't know, usually we'd just go to the nearest convenience store and call it that.

On the other hand, you're not Canadian, and you're not singing. Not fair.

It's one of the perks of brostatus. No singing required.
Besides, that'd pretty much be punishment for you. Just saying.

You haven't heard me sing, though.

And you're literally missing some things with the bro status, just for future reference.

Are you good at it? [ THE MOST BEMUSED EXPRESSION ISAAC ]

And you could make me a list of the rest of the stuff that comes with bro status. I wouldn't complain.

Horrible. I sing like a dying puppy in the last throes of the death stage.

[ Which, considering the season three spoilers, is kind of apt. ]

The one thing I'm pretty sure is universal is I won't date someone you like without letting you know first, but I don't have a lot of bros so I can't exactly be trusted on that one.

I don't think that'll be too much of a problem. I'm not sure you and I have the same... [ the corner of her mouth flicker. ] -type.

See, that's exactly why I can't sing. We'd be a pair of really tragic dying baby animals and that just won't do anything for crew morale.

[ Isaac blanks a bit, and blinks, and then frowns. ]

What, like girls? Because girls are pretty cool. If you like girls, that's cool too. ...I am also kind of confused.

If we sounded like wounded baby seals maybe we'd ping all the evil people into revealing themselves. I heard baby tears are irresistible to villains.

[ see hayley. see hayley TOTALLY not answer that question. ]

Okay baby seal noises lure in the bad guys, but what do we do with the villains once they show up? Something tells me tea and biscuits isn't le style of evil.

[ SO YOU LIKE GIRLS HUH, Isaac thinks. It's cool, Erica's equal opportunity too, he can roll. ]

We shove them into a room and lock them in, obviously. We can have the tea party outside and beyond the door.

...Are we actually going to try this?

[ her hands lift in mock surrender ]

Hey, it was your idea. I'm just following your lead here.

There's a distinct lack of villains around here, though. You're as much at fault here as I am.

Maybe they're just good at hiding it.

Maybe. Hiding in plain sight and all that, right?

Well, they aren't all disney villains.

They're not all Ledger Jokers, either, I'm just saying.

Edited 2012-10-16 01:52 (UTC)

[ no. because that would give them too much credit.
there's a pause, long enough for Hayley's gaze to lower, to hover over the switch that would cut the feed. when she speaks again, her gaze isn't quite on his face, but her voice is little more than a murmur. ]

Tell me.

What's there to tell?

Sometimes you find monsters hiding in plain sight, doesn't mean there's nothing to be done about that.

[ And if his own gaze is a little far away - well. He's got a father with a name branded right under his skin. ]

Edited 2012-10-18 00:00 (UTC)

This is something you've done before.

I've had my share in life. Don't tell me you haven't.

[ Yeah, he has a feeling you already knew his answer. ]

What'd you do? With the monsters you found?

Try to save them?

At least until you can't, and then you just deal with it.

[ Usually under someone else's direction, he's a good puppy like that. The right thing isn't always the legal thing, right? ]

[ she catches it. the you instead of i. the distance that lends to subjectivity, something separate from himself. it's something to think about, regardless. ]

How often could you save them?

Not too often. Almost never. But you have to try, right?

[ Because that's the whole point of not being a monster - you try to save what you can, because it's the right thing to do. ]

Do you?

Some people can't be. Some don't want to be.
