[Transmission #1]

[redpaperfan]

[ Sasuke is dead tired, and has taken this moment before he has real downtime for himself in order to contact the ship network. Unfortunately, he can't seem to remember a face other than the Captain's, and he's been trying to riddle out the voice and the three seconds remaining since he woke up days earlier

[exstinctor]

Lost something yourself, boy?

[redpaperfan]

[ He looks at Tyki, the name slow in coming to him. He can't remember what Tyki looks like, but that voice... "boy" was a fairly common occurrence, but all things considered... ]

A sense of credulity.

[exstinctor]

Oh? Surely not beyond all recovery.

[redpaperfan]

Likely not. Incredulity would be the first to leave permanently.

[exstinctor]

Really. Are you that shaken, then?

[looks somewhere between amusement and carelessness. Amusement is closer.]

[redpaperfan]

Are you asking that question in seriousness?

[exstinctor]

It's rare for anything to be permanently lost. And you aren't really the type to exaggerate. It's a valid question, groveling boy.

[redpaperfan]

Being perpetually unable to accept or admit what is presented here as not being true enough to effect all of us on the ship would be foolish.

[exstinctor]

It's human nature to doubt, boy. At least a little.

[redpaperfan]

Doubt, yes. Moving beyond denial doesn't mean moving into blind acceptance where I'm from. Does it for you?

[exstinctor]

For certain people, I suppose.

[redpaperfan]

One apparently being you.

[ Said dryly; since Tyki had brought forth the question in the first place. ]

[exstinctor]

Hmm. Not quite. A nice try, though.

[redpaperfan]

Tch. [ Would be better had be been right. ]
