3:14:30 AM John (colonelinblack): Hey there, Stark
3:14:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hey yourself. What's up?
3:15:15 AM John (colonelinblack): Not.. a lot. Working on this 5000 question meme from Hell
3:15:44 AM Stark (recoveringace): I thought about trying that but so many of those questions are ridiculous. And I don't have that much time.
3:16:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Honestly, neither do I
3:16:24 AM Stark (recoveringace): And yet, you're doing it.
3:16:29 AM John (colonelinblack): And yet...
3:16:37 AM John (colonelinblack): At least the sedatives wore off
3:17:03 AM Stark (recoveringace): Good, then you won't hallucinate 'Copacabana'.
3:17:20 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah.. about that
3:17:56 AM Stark (recoveringace): What? You didn't actually see that, did you?
3:18:15 AM John (colonelinblack): No, don't be silly
3:18:48 AM Stark (recoveringace): That would be strange. What's going on?
3:19:05 AM John (colonelinblack): Not... much. I think McKay's avoiding me
3:19:22 AM John (colonelinblack): Which means he's either experiencing the same thing, or he's figured out what's going on with me
3:19:44 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hrm. Wish I could do something to help, but it's sort of out of my element. Not to mention jurisdiction.
3:19:59 AM John (colonelinblack): I know, don't worry about it
3:20:09 AM John (colonelinblack): It's my fault for not trying to bring the damn thing back to the city
3:20:37 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well maybe I can at least distract you or something. Who knows. Not really much going on here either.
3:22:00 AM John (colonelinblack): Distraction is good
3:22:02 AM John (colonelinblack): :)
3:22:26 AM Stark (recoveringace): Let me see...the Orioles won 11-2. Other than that, just another ordinary day.
3:22:51 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, that's exciting at least
3:23:23 AM Stark (recoveringace): It was a good game. I'm just watching late night TV pretty much. Slow night.
3:24:50 AM John (colonelinblack): Mm, yeah... Keller won't let me go off-world
3:24:57 AM John (colonelinblack): This is basically the worst week ever
3:25:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): That sucks. Mine is actually not that bad, if I'm honest.
3:25:25 AM John (colonelinblack): I could tell, you seem.. perky
3:25:34 AM Stark (recoveringace): Do I? I hadn't noticed.
3:25:40 AM John (colonelinblack): A little
3:25:58 AM John (colonelinblack): It's a good thing though. You seem.. content
3:26:16 AM Stark (recoveringace): Life's pretty good right now, John. Thankfully.
3:26:35 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm glad for you
3:26:37 AM John (colonelinblack): Really
3:26:50 AM Stark (recoveringace): Thanks. Me, too. I don't do well when the boat gets rocked.
3:27:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Oh, I don't know... you seem to do well under pressure
3:27:58 AM Stark (recoveringace): There's pressure and then there's having everything do a one-eighty...mess with too much and I get twitchy.
3:28:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Apparently, so do I
3:28:50 AM Stark (recoveringace): It's understandable. We build our lives on a certain amount of routine. Mine just...changed a lot.
3:31:12 AM John (colonelinblack): I get that
3:31:30 AM John (colonelinblack): Disrupting the balance usually doesn't get to me, but I guess I have to get used to it, at least for now.
3:31:52 AM Stark (recoveringace): You wanna talk about it?
3:36:06 AM John (colonelinblack): I don't know where to start...
3:36:15 AM John (colonelinblack): for one I made a very large error today
3:36:46 AM Stark (recoveringace): What?
3:37:52 AM John (colonelinblack): I mean, I know I told you about.. my position, but you've encountered aliens. You're a fed. I mean, that doesn't make what i did less illegal or whatever, but I just... spilled all to a civilian. Stupid fucking sedatives
3:38:18 AM Stark (recoveringace): Um...define 'civilian'. Like, someone you can trust or some random person you don't even know?
3:39:51 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, I know him.
3:39:52 AM John (colonelinblack): Kind of
3:40:03 AM John (colonelinblack): Hemayhavebeentheonethedreamwasabout.
3:40:15 AM Stark (recoveringace): ...man, I think you have a fixation.
3:40:43 AM John (colonelinblack): You think?
3:40:56 AM Stark (recoveringace): Yeah, I don't usually start having dreams about people I then spill my guts to.
3:43:20 AM John (colonelinblack): I was high.. and he's really fucking persistent
3:43:40 AM John (colonelinblack): I mean, I think I can trust him, but how the hell to know?
3:44:10 AM Stark (recoveringace): I'd watch your back. Anyone who claims to be a psychic, especially one that's dogging you for info, seems suspect to me. If he's psychic, you think he'd know already, wouldn't he?
3:44:25 AM John (colonelinblack): That's what I thought, too.
3:44:31 AM John (colonelinblack): He said he needed crystals
3:44:34 AM John (colonelinblack): I hate crystals
3:44:43 AM John (colonelinblack): Why does everyone need crystals all the damn time?
3:45:27 AM Stark (recoveringace): I don't know, but yeah, that sounds like a line to me. And I've heard a lot of them even in the last two years.
3:48:15 AM John (colonelinblack): He seems like a nice guy, but fuck. I was disoriented and he took advantage of that. At least I managed not to tell him what's going on on Earth. Well... yeah, mostly managed to stray away from that topic
3:48:28 AM John (colonelinblack): So unless he has a stargate hidden in his basement... Um. I think I'm OK
3:48:41 AM Stark (recoveringace): I would keep your mouth shut about anything to that guy in the future.
3:48:49 AM John (colonelinblack): I fully intend on it
3:48:57 AM John (colonelinblack): No more sedatives for Colonel Sheppard
3:49:07 AM Stark (recoveringace): I trust like...um...six or seven people? I think.
3:49:16 AM John (colonelinblack): That sounds about right
3:49:32 AM John (colonelinblack): Am I included in that number?
3:50:16 AM Stark (recoveringace): My partner, Agent Scully, Agent Reyes, my brother, Vic and Jason. And yeah, you are.
3:51:45 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well no, wait...okay, Tonya and Michelle, too. I forgot them.
3:53:26 AM John (colonelinblack): Ronon, Teyla, McKay... you, Claire, and Woolsey when he's not being.. um, Woolsey
3:53:38 AM John (colonelinblack): And Keller
3:53:40 AM John (colonelinblack): obviously
3:53:50 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* We have very small worlds, you and I.
3:54:38 AM John (colonelinblack): Somehow, I think mine might be a bit smaller.
3:54:51 AM Stark (recoveringace): I doubt it. I practically live in the basement of the Hoover Building.
3:55:14 AM John (colonelinblack): I meant in a literal.. sense.
3:55:27 AM John (colonelinblack): ....You know what's sad? I live in Mckay's lab or the infirmary
3:55:32 AM John (colonelinblack): So fuck it, I win
3:56:01 AM Stark (recoveringace): I think someone has a man-crush.
3:56:20 AM Stark (recoveringace): Then again, what do I know about love and romance.
3:56:58 AM John (colonelinblack): ...a mancrush?
3:57:04 AM John (colonelinblack): I have a mancrush?
3:57:12 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well, you talk about him often enough.
3:57:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): God, I sound like my mother.
3:57:27 AM John (colonelinblack): ....
3:57:47 AM John (colonelinblack): He's the head scientist of my team. If something interesting is going on, he's got it locked away
3:58:02 AM Stark (recoveringace): So you just follow him around waiting for something interesting.
3:58:50 AM John (colonelinblack): No!
3:59:10 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm usually a key component to.. you know what, nevermind. It's complicated
3:59:31 AM John (colonelinblack): I spend just as much time with Teyla, and I certainly don't have a crish on her
3:59:36 AM John (colonelinblack): crush*
4:00:48 AM Stark (recoveringace): If you say so, I believe you.
4:02:19 AM John (colonelinblack): Good.
4:02:25 AM John (colonelinblack): Because it's the truth
4:02:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hey, this is me you're talking to. I am used to weird implications and rumors, remember?
4:03:22 AM John (colonelinblack): I guess so... sorry I'm so on edge
4:03:40 AM Stark (recoveringace): Something wrong? Or just the paranoia kicking in?
4:05:43 AM John (colonelinblack): All of the above?
4:05:48 AM John (colonelinblack): I don't know anymore, Stark
4:06:11 AM John (colonelinblack): Keller has no idea what's wrong with us and Rodney keeps disappearing and I'm jumping out of my skin everytime someone says "boo"
4:06:47 AM Stark (recoveringace): If there's anything I can do to help, you know you can count on me.
4:06:56 AM John (colonelinblack): I do know that
4:07:11 AM Stark (recoveringace): Don't make me try to find a way to hijack space, 'cause I'm just crazy enough to try.
4:07:43 AM John (colonelinblack): I'll let you know the next time the Daedalus is on Earth. Changes are you could stow-away
4:07:50 AM John (colonelinblack): Chances*
4:08:08 AM Stark (recoveringace): I wouldn't mind. I'd like to get a chance to meet you guys and maybe learn a thing or two.
4:08:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hey, I did four dimensions, I can do space.
4:08:28 AM John (colonelinblack): Fur dimensions... even I haven't done that yet
4:08:33 AM John (colonelinblack): Four*
4:08:39 AM John (colonelinblack): Fuck.. I'm so tired....
4:08:53 AM Stark (recoveringace): Apparently I did, but it sort of sucked. No. It majorly sucked.
4:09:08 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, doesn't sound like a party
4:09:32 AM John (colonelinblack): I doubt the military would want to help me get clearance for the feds... but we'll see. I'll come up with something
4:09:45 AM John (colonelinblack): They've already cleared that alien chick and she looks dangerous as hell
4:09:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): Oh, you know I'm sweet and innocent.
4:10:00 AM John (colonelinblack): Oh, I do
4:10:26 AM Stark (recoveringace): Just me, my badge, and my baseball bat.
4:10:35 AM John (colonelinblack): Heh
4:10:41 AM Stark (recoveringace): You'd be proud of me, I've actually been socializing.
4:11:24 AM John (colonelinblack): Spill
4:12:03 AM Stark (recoveringace): I went out for drinks with a couple of other agents. Then I caught up with another cop from Baltimore. Been nice to see that I still have allies.
4:12:08 AM Stark (recoveringace): My love life is what it is.
4:13:53 AM John (colonelinblack): Isn't that the way.
4:14:11 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm glad you've been having fun, knew it would serve you well to get out more
4:14:54 AM Stark (recoveringace): Yeah, well they're good people. Paul invited me to dinner with his wife and daughter. It's been good getting to know Mike better; he was just a name on a file years ago.
4:15:06 AM Stark (recoveringace): Besides, when I've still got my health and my partner, I'm a content woman.
4:15:17 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hell, I'll take my partner and half my health.
4:15:33 AM John (colonelinblack): You're such a romatic, Stark
4:15:39 AM John (colonelinblack): There's an 'n' in that
4:15:48 AM John (colonelinblack): can't be bothered to figure out where it goes
4:15:59 AM Stark (recoveringace): Romantic? Me? Not a word I've heard often.
4:16:22 AM John (colonelinblack): Really? That's surprising...
4:16:27 AM Stark (recoveringace): Is it?
4:16:36 AM John (colonelinblack): Not really
4:16:58 AM Stark (recoveringace): Just because I know who to keep close...
4:18:01 AM John (colonelinblack): It's a good quality to have
4:18:11 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well, John's a good man to have next to me.
4:18:42 AM John (colonelinblack): Is it sad that that fakes me out every time?
4:18:48 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm not self-centered, really.
4:19:04 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* No, it happens to me too. I really have got to learn to separate you.
4:19:20 AM Stark (recoveringace): I mean, one of you practically lives with me and the other does not, it's not that hard.
4:19:22 AM John (colonelinblack): You should call me Shep. You've earned it.
4:19:33 AM Stark (recoveringace): Thank you. This is me blushing. Slightly.
4:19:42 AM John (colonelinblack): This is me winking
4:19:44 AM John (colonelinblack): Tiredly
4:19:54 AM Stark (recoveringace): Aw, I get the sort of flirting, I'm touched.
4:20:34 AM John (colonelinblack): Someone should be... (what?) Um. The Barry Manilow is forthcoming, I do fear.
4:20:59 AM Stark (recoveringace): Ouch. Hey, at least my hallucinations would probably involve attractive men.
4:21:03 AM Stark (recoveringace): I'm just guessing.
4:22:25 AM John (colonelinblack): Mine would probably involve Elizabeth... since she seemed so keen on making me up in that alternate universe
4:22:43 AM Stark (recoveringace): I figure I get either Josh Hamilton or my partner. Or maybe Cal Ripken Jr. imparting the meaning of life.
4:22:55 AM John (colonelinblack): With my luck, it'd be Chaya
4:23:05 AM John (colonelinblack): And that fucking ghost gust of wind
4:23:31 AM Stark (recoveringace): Sounds weird. At least it wouldn't be me, not for my sake but for yours. I'm out of shape.
4:23:56 AM John (colonelinblack): Chaya was my stalker who I dated.. briefly because I'm a bad bad man.
4:24:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): You would only add to my list of questionable dating choices.
4:24:33 AM John (colonelinblack): Mine is shorter.. I think.
4:24:39 AM John (colonelinblack): Not much time for dating in Alaska
4:24:59 AM Stark (recoveringace): Alan was fine, but then the boss's son? Yeah. Erm.
4:25:06 AM John (colonelinblack): Ooh, awkward much.
4:25:24 AM Stark (recoveringace): Jeff was fine with it, but there are sort of rules against that stuff at Quantico.
4:25:43 AM John (colonelinblack): Gotcha
4:26:13 AM John (colonelinblack): You know, with the rumor mill around here, I seem to be behind considering I haven't fucked half the people here
4:26:27 AM John (colonelinblack): Why do people like talking about me of all people? It's beyond me
4:26:38 AM Stark (recoveringace): I have no idea. Probably why they like talking about me and John.
4:26:49 AM Stark (recoveringace): I find it ironic that as I say this, the only gay man I've ever wanted to sleep with is on TV.
4:27:12 AM John (colonelinblack): Okay... sorry if I'm being slow, but why's that ironic?
4:27:34 AM Stark (recoveringace): Because we're talking about people I could sleep with.
4:27:52 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm confused
4:28:07 AM Stark (recoveringace): We're talking about people I could sleep with and I happen to come across the one guy I couldn't.
4:28:19 AM John (colonelinblack): But he was on TV?
4:28:30 AM Stark (recoveringace): Yeah. Well, I've never met the guy, I'm just a fan of his work.
4:28:39 AM John (colonelinblack): Gotcha
4:29:33 AM Stark (recoveringace): Anyway, yeah. You're not that behind, I haven't really slept with anyone.
4:30:48 AM John (colonelinblack): No one?
4:31:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): Like once in the last eleven years.
4:32:28 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah... Probably twice on this end. Three times if you count Chaya. I try not to.
4:32:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): You don't wanna be stuck in bed with me. It usually ends with me leaving.
4:33:07 AM John (colonelinblack): I'll keep that in mind.
4:33:17 AM John (colonelinblack): I think we're too similar to ever be in that situation, honestly
4:33:22 AM John (colonelinblack): Loathe as I am to say
4:33:46 AM Stark (recoveringace): The one where the phone rings and you get dragged out of bed at 3 AM?
4:33:54 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, yeah
4:33:58 AM Stark (recoveringace): All the time.
4:34:03 AM John (colonelinblack): Constantly
4:34:12 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm due for one any second
4:34:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): Oh, damn.
4:34:44 AM Stark (recoveringace): Besides, I'd hate to break your heart.
4:35:12 AM John (colonelinblack): I... thanks, Stark. I think that's the nicest thing I've heard in a while to be honets
4:35:19 AM John (colonelinblack): honest, really
4:35:45 AM Stark (recoveringace): *chuckles* You're welcome. Besides, I'm sort of not on the market as it is.
4:35:59 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm well aware ;)
4:36:14 AM John (colonelinblack): How could I steal my namesake's thunder?
4:36:20 AM John (colonelinblack): Answer: I couldn't.
4:36:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* Well...we'll see how things go. Small steps. But, if I had a clone, and there was time and/or space, you might be in trouble. Just for the sheer fun of it.
4:37:20 AM John (colonelinblack): I have no problem with the fun sort of trouble
4:37:46 AM Stark (recoveringace): Part of why I like you. There's always something fun going on with you. The fact that you're cute helps.
4:38:12 AM John (colonelinblack): Secret: it's why they gave me the promotion
4:38:20 AM John (colonelinblack): The cute works every time
4:38:29 AM John (colonelinblack): ...except with Wraith
4:38:33 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, sometimes
4:38:56 AM Stark (recoveringace): *chuckles* This is me batting my eyelashes, but it probably loses its effect.
4:39:08 AM John (colonelinblack): A few million lightyears away?
4:39:14 AM John (colonelinblack): Nah, hear em loud and clear
4:39:31 AM Stark (recoveringace): They work on everyone but my partner.
4:39:55 AM John (colonelinblack): Maybe he just pretends they don't work on him when really... they get to him more than he's letting on
4:40:10 AM Stark (recoveringace): Eh. He likes flustering me for no reason, so it's even if they do.
4:40:23 AM John (colonelinblack): That's a good sign you know
4:40:35 AM Stark (recoveringace): Probably. We have a rhythm.
4:40:45 AM John (colonelinblack): Flustering... flirting, really under a universal umbrella
4:41:03 AM John (colonelinblack): I just did that for the alliteration, but you know what I mean
4:42:04 AM Stark (recoveringace): I do. I feel good, though. Even ran a couple more miles today.
4:42:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): You'd have to put up with that. Me filling your small world with my energy.
4:42:29 AM John (colonelinblack): I've got a lot of it myself
4:42:54 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hrm. Note to self: find ways to sneak self to space. With cookies.
4:43:00 AM Stark (recoveringace): I promise not to bring the loud New Yorker with me.
4:43:47 AM John (colonelinblack): Aw, but it could have been a perfect opportunity to annoy McKay speechless
4:43:58 AM John (colonelinblack): and silent Rodney... is music to everyone's ears
4:44:20 AM Stark (recoveringace): Paul's loud. But he's loud in a good way. There's a reason he works the gang detail, shall we say.
4:44:30 AM Stark (recoveringace): Besides, then I'd just have to keep an eye on him when I could spend that time annoying you.
4:44:47 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, but I don't mind being annoyed
4:44:59 AM John (colonelinblack): I've had a lot of practice
4:45:13 AM Stark (recoveringace): By cute FBI agents with Oreos in leather pants?
4:45:30 AM John (colonelinblack): Of course, what else could I mean
4:45:57 AM Stark (recoveringace): I was really just testing your reaction, but good to know. Almost enough to make me want to try it.
4:46:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Nix the pants, go on the oreos
4:46:29 AM John (colonelinblack): ...and here comes that call, right on time
4:46:48 AM John (colonelinblack): Woolsey really needs to memorize the blueprints and get off the comm
4:46:56 AM John (colonelinblack): Bitchy, maybe. True? Absolutely.
4:47:13 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* If you've gotta go, go. Just find me when you get back, we must work out this space differential.
4:47:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): And thank God, I don't know why people own leather pants in the first place.
4:47:37 AM John (colonelinblack): It's awful. Worst thing the 80s ever did
4:47:46 AM John (colonelinblack): ...worse than the hair
4:47:57 AM Stark (recoveringace): It did give us John Cusack.
4:48:01 AM John (colonelinblack): True
4:48:05 AM John (colonelinblack): ....
4:48:13 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, gotta go
4:48:33 AM John (colonelinblack): I will, however work on... Daedalus Stow-away plan #1 or whatever
4:48:53 AM Stark (recoveringace): You do that - just find me the next time you're around, mmkay?
4:49:02 AM John (colonelinblack): Will do
4:49:13 AM Stark (recoveringace): Go be a hero. I'll see you later.
4:49:30 AM John (colonelinblack): Bye
Changed status to Idle (5:05:24 AM)
Changed status to Available (5:05:35 AM)
3:14:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hey yourself. What's up?
3:15:15 AM John (colonelinblack): Not.. a lot. Working on this 5000 question meme from Hell
3:15:44 AM Stark (recoveringace): I thought about trying that but so many of those questions are ridiculous. And I don't have that much time.
3:16:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Honestly, neither do I
3:16:24 AM Stark (recoveringace): And yet, you're doing it.
3:16:29 AM John (colonelinblack): And yet...
3:16:37 AM John (colonelinblack): At least the sedatives wore off
3:17:03 AM Stark (recoveringace): Good, then you won't hallucinate 'Copacabana'.
3:17:20 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah.. about that
3:17:56 AM Stark (recoveringace): What? You didn't actually see that, did you?
3:18:15 AM John (colonelinblack): No, don't be silly
3:18:48 AM Stark (recoveringace): That would be strange. What's going on?
3:19:05 AM John (colonelinblack): Not... much. I think McKay's avoiding me
3:19:22 AM John (colonelinblack): Which means he's either experiencing the same thing, or he's figured out what's going on with me
3:19:44 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hrm. Wish I could do something to help, but it's sort of out of my element. Not to mention jurisdiction.
3:19:59 AM John (colonelinblack): I know, don't worry about it
3:20:09 AM John (colonelinblack): It's my fault for not trying to bring the damn thing back to the city
3:20:37 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well maybe I can at least distract you or something. Who knows. Not really much going on here either.
3:22:00 AM John (colonelinblack): Distraction is good
3:22:02 AM John (colonelinblack): :)
3:22:26 AM Stark (recoveringace): Let me see...the Orioles won 11-2. Other than that, just another ordinary day.
3:22:51 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, that's exciting at least
3:23:23 AM Stark (recoveringace): It was a good game. I'm just watching late night TV pretty much. Slow night.
3:24:50 AM John (colonelinblack): Mm, yeah... Keller won't let me go off-world
3:24:57 AM John (colonelinblack): This is basically the worst week ever
3:25:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): That sucks. Mine is actually not that bad, if I'm honest.
3:25:25 AM John (colonelinblack): I could tell, you seem.. perky
3:25:34 AM Stark (recoveringace): Do I? I hadn't noticed.
3:25:40 AM John (colonelinblack): A little
3:25:58 AM John (colonelinblack): It's a good thing though. You seem.. content
3:26:16 AM Stark (recoveringace): Life's pretty good right now, John. Thankfully.
3:26:35 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm glad for you
3:26:37 AM John (colonelinblack): Really
3:26:50 AM Stark (recoveringace): Thanks. Me, too. I don't do well when the boat gets rocked.
3:27:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Oh, I don't know... you seem to do well under pressure
3:27:58 AM Stark (recoveringace): There's pressure and then there's having everything do a one-eighty...mess with too much and I get twitchy.
3:28:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Apparently, so do I
3:28:50 AM Stark (recoveringace): It's understandable. We build our lives on a certain amount of routine. Mine just...changed a lot.
3:31:12 AM John (colonelinblack): I get that
3:31:30 AM John (colonelinblack): Disrupting the balance usually doesn't get to me, but I guess I have to get used to it, at least for now.
3:31:52 AM Stark (recoveringace): You wanna talk about it?
3:36:06 AM John (colonelinblack): I don't know where to start...
3:36:15 AM John (colonelinblack): for one I made a very large error today
3:36:46 AM Stark (recoveringace): What?
3:37:52 AM John (colonelinblack): I mean, I know I told you about.. my position, but you've encountered aliens. You're a fed. I mean, that doesn't make what i did less illegal or whatever, but I just... spilled all to a civilian. Stupid fucking sedatives
3:38:18 AM Stark (recoveringace): Um...define 'civilian'. Like, someone you can trust or some random person you don't even know?
3:39:51 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, I know him.
3:39:52 AM John (colonelinblack): Kind of
3:40:03 AM John (colonelinblack): Hemayhavebeentheonethedreamwasabout.
3:40:15 AM Stark (recoveringace): ...man, I think you have a fixation.
3:40:43 AM John (colonelinblack): You think?
3:40:56 AM Stark (recoveringace): Yeah, I don't usually start having dreams about people I then spill my guts to.
3:43:20 AM John (colonelinblack): I was high.. and he's really fucking persistent
3:43:40 AM John (colonelinblack): I mean, I think I can trust him, but how the hell to know?
3:44:10 AM Stark (recoveringace): I'd watch your back. Anyone who claims to be a psychic, especially one that's dogging you for info, seems suspect to me. If he's psychic, you think he'd know already, wouldn't he?
3:44:25 AM John (colonelinblack): That's what I thought, too.
3:44:31 AM John (colonelinblack): He said he needed crystals
3:44:34 AM John (colonelinblack): I hate crystals
3:44:43 AM John (colonelinblack): Why does everyone need crystals all the damn time?
3:45:27 AM Stark (recoveringace): I don't know, but yeah, that sounds like a line to me. And I've heard a lot of them even in the last two years.
3:48:15 AM John (colonelinblack): He seems like a nice guy, but fuck. I was disoriented and he took advantage of that. At least I managed not to tell him what's going on on Earth. Well... yeah, mostly managed to stray away from that topic
3:48:28 AM John (colonelinblack): So unless he has a stargate hidden in his basement... Um. I think I'm OK
3:48:41 AM Stark (recoveringace): I would keep your mouth shut about anything to that guy in the future.
3:48:49 AM John (colonelinblack): I fully intend on it
3:48:57 AM John (colonelinblack): No more sedatives for Colonel Sheppard
3:49:07 AM Stark (recoveringace): I trust like...um...six or seven people? I think.
3:49:16 AM John (colonelinblack): That sounds about right
3:49:32 AM John (colonelinblack): Am I included in that number?
3:50:16 AM Stark (recoveringace): My partner, Agent Scully, Agent Reyes, my brother, Vic and Jason. And yeah, you are.
3:51:45 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well no, wait...okay, Tonya and Michelle, too. I forgot them.
3:53:26 AM John (colonelinblack): Ronon, Teyla, McKay... you, Claire, and Woolsey when he's not being.. um, Woolsey
3:53:38 AM John (colonelinblack): And Keller
3:53:40 AM John (colonelinblack): obviously
3:53:50 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* We have very small worlds, you and I.
3:54:38 AM John (colonelinblack): Somehow, I think mine might be a bit smaller.
3:54:51 AM Stark (recoveringace): I doubt it. I practically live in the basement of the Hoover Building.
3:55:14 AM John (colonelinblack): I meant in a literal.. sense.
3:55:27 AM John (colonelinblack): ....You know what's sad? I live in Mckay's lab or the infirmary
3:55:32 AM John (colonelinblack): So fuck it, I win
3:56:01 AM Stark (recoveringace): I think someone has a man-crush.
3:56:20 AM Stark (recoveringace): Then again, what do I know about love and romance.
3:56:58 AM John (colonelinblack): ...a mancrush?
3:57:04 AM John (colonelinblack): I have a mancrush?
3:57:12 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well, you talk about him often enough.
3:57:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): God, I sound like my mother.
3:57:27 AM John (colonelinblack): ....
3:57:47 AM John (colonelinblack): He's the head scientist of my team. If something interesting is going on, he's got it locked away
3:58:02 AM Stark (recoveringace): So you just follow him around waiting for something interesting.
3:58:50 AM John (colonelinblack): No!
3:59:10 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm usually a key component to.. you know what, nevermind. It's complicated
3:59:31 AM John (colonelinblack): I spend just as much time with Teyla, and I certainly don't have a crish on her
3:59:36 AM John (colonelinblack): crush*
4:00:48 AM Stark (recoveringace): If you say so, I believe you.
4:02:19 AM John (colonelinblack): Good.
4:02:25 AM John (colonelinblack): Because it's the truth
4:02:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hey, this is me you're talking to. I am used to weird implications and rumors, remember?
4:03:22 AM John (colonelinblack): I guess so... sorry I'm so on edge
4:03:40 AM Stark (recoveringace): Something wrong? Or just the paranoia kicking in?
4:05:43 AM John (colonelinblack): All of the above?
4:05:48 AM John (colonelinblack): I don't know anymore, Stark
4:06:11 AM John (colonelinblack): Keller has no idea what's wrong with us and Rodney keeps disappearing and I'm jumping out of my skin everytime someone says "boo"
4:06:47 AM Stark (recoveringace): If there's anything I can do to help, you know you can count on me.
4:06:56 AM John (colonelinblack): I do know that
4:07:11 AM Stark (recoveringace): Don't make me try to find a way to hijack space, 'cause I'm just crazy enough to try.
4:07:43 AM John (colonelinblack): I'll let you know the next time the Daedalus is on Earth. Changes are you could stow-away
4:07:50 AM John (colonelinblack): Chances*
4:08:08 AM Stark (recoveringace): I wouldn't mind. I'd like to get a chance to meet you guys and maybe learn a thing or two.
4:08:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hey, I did four dimensions, I can do space.
4:08:28 AM John (colonelinblack): Fur dimensions... even I haven't done that yet
4:08:33 AM John (colonelinblack): Four*
4:08:39 AM John (colonelinblack): Fuck.. I'm so tired....
4:08:53 AM Stark (recoveringace): Apparently I did, but it sort of sucked. No. It majorly sucked.
4:09:08 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, doesn't sound like a party
4:09:32 AM John (colonelinblack): I doubt the military would want to help me get clearance for the feds... but we'll see. I'll come up with something
4:09:45 AM John (colonelinblack): They've already cleared that alien chick and she looks dangerous as hell
4:09:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): Oh, you know I'm sweet and innocent.
4:10:00 AM John (colonelinblack): Oh, I do
4:10:26 AM Stark (recoveringace): Just me, my badge, and my baseball bat.
4:10:35 AM John (colonelinblack): Heh
4:10:41 AM Stark (recoveringace): You'd be proud of me, I've actually been socializing.
4:11:24 AM John (colonelinblack): Spill
4:12:03 AM Stark (recoveringace): I went out for drinks with a couple of other agents. Then I caught up with another cop from Baltimore. Been nice to see that I still have allies.
4:12:08 AM Stark (recoveringace): My love life is what it is.
4:13:53 AM John (colonelinblack): Isn't that the way.
4:14:11 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm glad you've been having fun, knew it would serve you well to get out more
4:14:54 AM Stark (recoveringace): Yeah, well they're good people. Paul invited me to dinner with his wife and daughter. It's been good getting to know Mike better; he was just a name on a file years ago.
4:15:06 AM Stark (recoveringace): Besides, when I've still got my health and my partner, I'm a content woman.
4:15:17 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hell, I'll take my partner and half my health.
4:15:33 AM John (colonelinblack): You're such a romatic, Stark
4:15:39 AM John (colonelinblack): There's an 'n' in that
4:15:48 AM John (colonelinblack): can't be bothered to figure out where it goes
4:15:59 AM Stark (recoveringace): Romantic? Me? Not a word I've heard often.
4:16:22 AM John (colonelinblack): Really? That's surprising...
4:16:27 AM Stark (recoveringace): Is it?
4:16:36 AM John (colonelinblack): Not really
4:16:58 AM Stark (recoveringace): Just because I know who to keep close...
4:18:01 AM John (colonelinblack): It's a good quality to have
4:18:11 AM Stark (recoveringace): Well, John's a good man to have next to me.
4:18:42 AM John (colonelinblack): Is it sad that that fakes me out every time?
4:18:48 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm not self-centered, really.
4:19:04 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* No, it happens to me too. I really have got to learn to separate you.
4:19:20 AM Stark (recoveringace): I mean, one of you practically lives with me and the other does not, it's not that hard.
4:19:22 AM John (colonelinblack): You should call me Shep. You've earned it.
4:19:33 AM Stark (recoveringace): Thank you. This is me blushing. Slightly.
4:19:42 AM John (colonelinblack): This is me winking
4:19:44 AM John (colonelinblack): Tiredly
4:19:54 AM Stark (recoveringace): Aw, I get the sort of flirting, I'm touched.
4:20:34 AM John (colonelinblack): Someone should be... (what?) Um. The Barry Manilow is forthcoming, I do fear.
4:20:59 AM Stark (recoveringace): Ouch. Hey, at least my hallucinations would probably involve attractive men.
4:21:03 AM Stark (recoveringace): I'm just guessing.
4:22:25 AM John (colonelinblack): Mine would probably involve Elizabeth... since she seemed so keen on making me up in that alternate universe
4:22:43 AM Stark (recoveringace): I figure I get either Josh Hamilton or my partner. Or maybe Cal Ripken Jr. imparting the meaning of life.
4:22:55 AM John (colonelinblack): With my luck, it'd be Chaya
4:23:05 AM John (colonelinblack): And that fucking ghost gust of wind
4:23:31 AM Stark (recoveringace): Sounds weird. At least it wouldn't be me, not for my sake but for yours. I'm out of shape.
4:23:56 AM John (colonelinblack): Chaya was my stalker who I dated.. briefly because I'm a bad bad man.
4:24:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): You would only add to my list of questionable dating choices.
4:24:33 AM John (colonelinblack): Mine is shorter.. I think.
4:24:39 AM John (colonelinblack): Not much time for dating in Alaska
4:24:59 AM Stark (recoveringace): Alan was fine, but then the boss's son? Yeah. Erm.
4:25:06 AM John (colonelinblack): Ooh, awkward much.
4:25:24 AM Stark (recoveringace): Jeff was fine with it, but there are sort of rules against that stuff at Quantico.
4:25:43 AM John (colonelinblack): Gotcha
4:26:13 AM John (colonelinblack): You know, with the rumor mill around here, I seem to be behind considering I haven't fucked half the people here
4:26:27 AM John (colonelinblack): Why do people like talking about me of all people? It's beyond me
4:26:38 AM Stark (recoveringace): I have no idea. Probably why they like talking about me and John.
4:26:49 AM Stark (recoveringace): I find it ironic that as I say this, the only gay man I've ever wanted to sleep with is on TV.
4:27:12 AM John (colonelinblack): Okay... sorry if I'm being slow, but why's that ironic?
4:27:34 AM Stark (recoveringace): Because we're talking about people I could sleep with.
4:27:52 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm confused
4:28:07 AM Stark (recoveringace): We're talking about people I could sleep with and I happen to come across the one guy I couldn't.
4:28:19 AM John (colonelinblack): But he was on TV?
4:28:30 AM Stark (recoveringace): Yeah. Well, I've never met the guy, I'm just a fan of his work.
4:28:39 AM John (colonelinblack): Gotcha
4:29:33 AM Stark (recoveringace): Anyway, yeah. You're not that behind, I haven't really slept with anyone.
4:30:48 AM John (colonelinblack): No one?
4:31:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): Like once in the last eleven years.
4:32:28 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah... Probably twice on this end. Three times if you count Chaya. I try not to.
4:32:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): You don't wanna be stuck in bed with me. It usually ends with me leaving.
4:33:07 AM John (colonelinblack): I'll keep that in mind.
4:33:17 AM John (colonelinblack): I think we're too similar to ever be in that situation, honestly
4:33:22 AM John (colonelinblack): Loathe as I am to say
4:33:46 AM Stark (recoveringace): The one where the phone rings and you get dragged out of bed at 3 AM?
4:33:54 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, yeah
4:33:58 AM Stark (recoveringace): All the time.
4:34:03 AM John (colonelinblack): Constantly
4:34:12 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm due for one any second
4:34:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): Oh, damn.
4:34:44 AM Stark (recoveringace): Besides, I'd hate to break your heart.
4:35:12 AM John (colonelinblack): I... thanks, Stark. I think that's the nicest thing I've heard in a while to be honets
4:35:19 AM John (colonelinblack): honest, really
4:35:45 AM Stark (recoveringace): *chuckles* You're welcome. Besides, I'm sort of not on the market as it is.
4:35:59 AM John (colonelinblack): I'm well aware ;)
4:36:14 AM John (colonelinblack): How could I steal my namesake's thunder?
4:36:20 AM John (colonelinblack): Answer: I couldn't.
4:36:55 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* Well...we'll see how things go. Small steps. But, if I had a clone, and there was time and/or space, you might be in trouble. Just for the sheer fun of it.
4:37:20 AM John (colonelinblack): I have no problem with the fun sort of trouble
4:37:46 AM Stark (recoveringace): Part of why I like you. There's always something fun going on with you. The fact that you're cute helps.
4:38:12 AM John (colonelinblack): Secret: it's why they gave me the promotion
4:38:20 AM John (colonelinblack): The cute works every time
4:38:29 AM John (colonelinblack): ...except with Wraith
4:38:33 AM John (colonelinblack): Well, sometimes
4:38:56 AM Stark (recoveringace): *chuckles* This is me batting my eyelashes, but it probably loses its effect.
4:39:08 AM John (colonelinblack): A few million lightyears away?
4:39:14 AM John (colonelinblack): Nah, hear em loud and clear
4:39:31 AM Stark (recoveringace): They work on everyone but my partner.
4:39:55 AM John (colonelinblack): Maybe he just pretends they don't work on him when really... they get to him more than he's letting on
4:40:10 AM Stark (recoveringace): Eh. He likes flustering me for no reason, so it's even if they do.
4:40:23 AM John (colonelinblack): That's a good sign you know
4:40:35 AM Stark (recoveringace): Probably. We have a rhythm.
4:40:45 AM John (colonelinblack): Flustering... flirting, really under a universal umbrella
4:41:03 AM John (colonelinblack): I just did that for the alliteration, but you know what I mean
4:42:04 AM Stark (recoveringace): I do. I feel good, though. Even ran a couple more miles today.
4:42:14 AM Stark (recoveringace): You'd have to put up with that. Me filling your small world with my energy.
4:42:29 AM John (colonelinblack): I've got a lot of it myself
4:42:54 AM Stark (recoveringace): Hrm. Note to self: find ways to sneak self to space. With cookies.
4:43:00 AM Stark (recoveringace): I promise not to bring the loud New Yorker with me.
4:43:47 AM John (colonelinblack): Aw, but it could have been a perfect opportunity to annoy McKay speechless
4:43:58 AM John (colonelinblack): and silent Rodney... is music to everyone's ears
4:44:20 AM Stark (recoveringace): Paul's loud. But he's loud in a good way. There's a reason he works the gang detail, shall we say.
4:44:30 AM Stark (recoveringace): Besides, then I'd just have to keep an eye on him when I could spend that time annoying you.
4:44:47 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, but I don't mind being annoyed
4:44:59 AM John (colonelinblack): I've had a lot of practice
4:45:13 AM Stark (recoveringace): By cute FBI agents with Oreos in leather pants?
4:45:30 AM John (colonelinblack): Of course, what else could I mean
4:45:57 AM Stark (recoveringace): I was really just testing your reaction, but good to know. Almost enough to make me want to try it.
4:46:17 AM John (colonelinblack): Nix the pants, go on the oreos
4:46:29 AM John (colonelinblack): ...and here comes that call, right on time
4:46:48 AM John (colonelinblack): Woolsey really needs to memorize the blueprints and get off the comm
4:46:56 AM John (colonelinblack): Bitchy, maybe. True? Absolutely.
4:47:13 AM Stark (recoveringace): *laughs* If you've gotta go, go. Just find me when you get back, we must work out this space differential.
4:47:21 AM Stark (recoveringace): And thank God, I don't know why people own leather pants in the first place.
4:47:37 AM John (colonelinblack): It's awful. Worst thing the 80s ever did
4:47:46 AM John (colonelinblack): ...worse than the hair
4:47:57 AM Stark (recoveringace): It did give us John Cusack.
4:48:01 AM John (colonelinblack): True
4:48:05 AM John (colonelinblack): ....
4:48:13 AM John (colonelinblack): Yeah, gotta go
4:48:33 AM John (colonelinblack): I will, however work on... Daedalus Stow-away plan #1 or whatever
4:48:53 AM Stark (recoveringace): You do that - just find me the next time you're around, mmkay?
4:49:02 AM John (colonelinblack): Will do
4:49:13 AM Stark (recoveringace): Go be a hero. I'll see you later.
4:49:30 AM John (colonelinblack): Bye
