( VIDEO. )

[ the device is resting on a table, a distance from anderson and jax — far enough that both of them are in the picture. anderson’s posture is, as usual, straight; a soldier at ease. jax is slouching, flicking his lighter open and closed. he has a cigarette behind his ear but he doesn’t reach for it. he clears his throat, expectant, nudges her with his elbow. ]

Gonna talk to the good people, Pollyanna?

[ if the video wasn’t already on, anderson would comment on the use of the nickname in what is, essentially, a public service announcement. as it is, she just raises an eyebrow at him before turning back towards the device. ] We realise that the last jump was unpleasant for many of us. Sickness aside, however, our position is no less vulnerable now than it was before.

We asked before, but for those of you who are new, or those who missed it last time: Gunnery is responsible for the defense of the ship — which, regardless of how you may feel about it, is your current place of residence — against attacks, as well as for the maintenance of the armory. We offer weapons training, and I offer self-defense lessons as well.

You get your sea legs under you, you come down, talk to either of us. Can usually find one or the other kicking around Gunnery at any hour, and we don’t mind visitiors if you aren’t acting like an idiot.

[ after a moment to let that sink in, anderson reaches out and turns the device off. ]


[ red is jax, black is anderson.

ps please have a look at [community profile] ataraxiongunnery if you're so inclined. pps theself-defense log is here, feel free to wander by

Then let me take a load off your mind. I can handle my department no problem. That isn't an issue you gotta worry about.

[ yes, jax is the picture of professionalism. ]

Then you bitch at me. Don't fucking give Anderson shit.

She's not the one arguing with me about it.

She's got more patience than me. A fucking saint, Anderson.

[ and anderson doesn't enjoy squabbling, but jax does, so. ]

[ don't give him that look. ]

I knock her block off you think her yappy friend would get pissed?

So what, let her walk all over me?

[ there is literally no middle ground with jax. ]

I'm not against her. I'm just not going to take her shit.

[ a pause, then-- ]

Or let her give you shit.

I'm not saying you can't. I'm saying she doesn't fucking disrespect you.

[ because anderson is jax's people now, and jax has flown off the handle for less. ]
