001 | video | i should've been a cowboy

[noflying]

[ 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.]

[culver]

How is the horse?

[logicunlocked]

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. ]

"The whiskey here's freaking terrible."

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

[ He almost sounds genuinely offended. Almost. ]

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.]

[heroisms]

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

I knew a man who could see the future.

And if we don't want a shot?

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

[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.
