I see it's this nonsense again. [Leer] I always did enjoy an audience.

As it is, there is little reason that business cannot continue as normal, just because we have a few additional listeners.

[Look who is being forcefully "normal" -- for him, anyway. It has nothing to do with the transmissions.]

Richard Riddick, it is high time we sat down and had a little discussion about port.

People with that disfunction seem to wind up dead a whole lot.

Everyone is going to die, Richard. Some of them not very pleasant, and you cannot blame regard for you on that.

I just don't see a 'life' back there. I want Jack off that Basilica and then I gotta get running.

...hopefully this time she doesn't come looking.

Perhaps you should rely on your other senses, then.

[The Marquis shrugs]

You have no control over that.

'Living' ain't my priority. She's young; she's got a chance.

[impure_tale]

A chance to lead the same miserable, substance-free existence that you do, by your example?

She doesn't have my track record. She's not high profile. There's a family on Helion will take her in. Helion's your kinda planet. I can't live there. She can.

She'll choose you.

I think I'm done talking.

I think if you disagree with me then you're going to sit down and explain why. If you do not, then you should confront your feelings on the matter, not stomp off in a passion.

If I had alternatives I would take them. You can say there's options: it doesn't make it true.

Spam

[impure_tale]

Tell me how it's not true then.

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

Will she choose me? Maybe. She's made some real bad decisions. But if she lives she gets a choice.

Re: Spam

[impure_tale]

The question is: are you going to honor her choice if that is the one she makes?

Re: Spam

[with_my_teacup]

Weren't you just lecturing me about what a shitty choice that is? Surviving, not living?

Spam

[impure_tale]

I suppose you're just going to have to stop surviving, aren't you?
