ataraxion | 001 | video | i should've been a cowboy

[ There's a cowboy on the ship.

Well, cowboy isn't an accurate term – Jake Lonergan doesn't herd cows for a living. In fact, he used to rob people for a living, but he only knows that through seeing his face on a wanted poster and people saying they know him and little fragments of memories. Either way, “outlaw” is a better technical fit than “cowboy”… but he’ll take cowboy if he has to, if it means not explaining that he’s an outlaw.

Either way, he’s on the ship, and in front of him is a shot of whiskey – and next to it, a newly opened bottle of whiskey. His hat’s down low and he doesn't say anything for a moment before his head lifts a little, just enough for bright blue eyes to peer out at the camera and for him to speak, voice low and somehow dusty. ]

Free shot to the first person who can tell me somethin' interesting or useful that wasn't in all that reading.

[ There's a pause as a border collie noses its head up and Jake scratches it behind the ears. ] Nathan, your definition of interesting doesn't necessarily count.

What's the shot? [She wants to know what exactly her information would be worth.]

Whiskey.

[ Jake keeps on scratching the dog behind the ears. ]

Seems worth it. [She's impressed.] What sort of information are you looking for?

And for the record, Nathan might have a lot of information, but he's not that bad of a guy to have a conversation with.

How is the horse?

Just fine. You can come and see it whenever you want, you know. Just be careful if no one else is around.

Okay. I can be careful.

Did you know all the drinks here are free?

[ Because that would totally count as interesting information to someone who doesn't know.

Anyway, York's mainly just ribbing him; it's not that boring on the ship, is it? Nah, of course not. ]

Did you know all the drinks here are from space?

[ Just gonna knock back that nice Earth whiskey, yup. ]

Wait, yours isn't?

[ That's just damn unfair, it is. ]

"The whiskey here's freaking terrible."

Looks like you get a shot, too. Earth whiskey.

Oh shit, really?

[WHISKEY THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE SPACE?? Madness!]

Where you at? I can be there in like, two ticks.

Or maybe your definition of interesting doesn't count, did you ever think of that?

[ He almost sounds genuinely offended. Almost. ]

You're the only person I've met who wants to talk about dog shit.

I don't remember you changing the subject.

... but it hasn't shit blue yet, has it?

How about advice? Stay alive. [This is a personal joke and he finds it terribly funny, but he's probably been knocking back too much of that space whiskey and look, it seemed like a reasonable answer to him.]

[ Haymitch you would be a terrible comedian. ]

Should've specified that I won't take things I already know.

[He's the best comedian ever...]

Only thing that matters.

[ ...Well, this is kinda new. ]

I knew a man who could see the future.

[ wat ]

That so?

And if we don't want a shot?

[Some cats drink; this one doesn't.]

Could scratch you behind the ears.

[ It's hard to tell if that's a joke or not. ]

[she likes shots with attractive cowboys.

this is pretty surreal, but she 's just going to make a fingergun motion towards the camera with a grin.]

Angels and demons on board. Things I never thought I'd say, but there you go.

[ Well. That's a new hand gesture. ]

Angels and demons. What do they look like?
