I have to say I am somewhat surprised; I have been so long since graduating that I suspected the Admiral was awaiting me to finish the play before he would assign me. It is a special irony that I am not only wrong, but have had my assignment made within theatrical circles just the same. I am surprised and in a way honored.

Monsieur Iago, you and I are going to have to have a little chat.

[Filtered to the Cast and Crew]

To my theatre troupe: Owing to the fact that a vast majority of you are in need of time to recover, group rehearsals are postponed for the time being. If any of you require my aid, or lessons or exercises from me to help you get back into the proper mindset to act, I am happy to provide, should you ask.

Paviche?

Kumquat, there is not a single thing on this ship that has managed to kill me yet.

Kumquat? Aren't we passed the strange nicknames yet?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Never.

I really could not be more happy to be rid of you.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Rid of me? Don't be silly, Captain Kirk. As if you could be.

I would liken you to a bad case of herpes.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

What, so I'm a disease now?

I'm hurt, Captain. Just when we were starting to get along.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, all those long chats we've had since you graduated have really warmed my heart.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

You were the one who stopped talking to me, Captain.

I've been busy, commandeering things, being punished for commandeering said things, raping people.

It's a hard life I lead.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

It's a wonder you had time to write me at all.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

If you're real lucky, I might even be able to pencil you in for a drink to celebrate your new Inmate and my not having to reform you anymore.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

That would be lovely, Captain.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

How's tomorrow work for you?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Tomorrow is fine.
