[The audio feed is mostly clear, though anyone listening closely would likely hear the faint sound of traffic- Tonegawa’s probably in his office.]

Are you gambling men, Siren’s Port? Poker, dice, roulette… or even the stocks, if you want to stretch it. There’s very little one can do that doesn’t invoke the basic equation of risk and profit, yes, ( Read more... )

I don't suppose you could teach me?

12second_orz August 21 2011, 17:22:19 UTC

Oh, I don't know. Some people simply aren't natural gamblers. Have you really never gambled before at all?

hisoldgirl August 21 2011, 20:14:34 UTC

I've not done much of anything, really. This is only my second time in a body, after all.

12second_orz August 22 2011, 14:27:59 UTC

Hmm. I suppose that makes s- excuse me?

hisoldgirl August 22 2011, 14:56:59 UTC

You're excused.

12second_orz August 22 2011, 15:29:24 UTC

What? No, no, I'm not going anywhere yet. [Like hell he's going to leave that hanging.] Did you just say 'second time in a body'?

hisoldgirl August 22 2011, 15:40:19 UTC

I did, yes. Was I unclear?

12second_orz August 22 2011, 15:52:16 UTC

'Confusing' is a better word. How is that possible?

hisoldgirl August 22 2011, 16:12:06 UTC

Because I'm a ship.

12second_orz August 22 2011, 16:20:14 UTC

... a ship. I see.

[He needs a drink. Right now.]

And you aren't just being overly self-deprecating or metaphorical?

hisoldgirl August 22 2011, 16:21:33 UTC

[that seems to be the most common reaction]

Of course not. Why should I?

12second_orz August 22 2011, 16:57:31 UTC

I was afraid you were going to say that.

[He sighs deeply, as though the world is about the fall apart at his feet, and then immediately lights up another cigarette before dryly stating:]

You're the first vehicle that's ever spoken back to me.

hisoldgirl August 22 2011, 23:43:47 UTC

Oh? Do you talk to them often, then? What sorts? There aren't any like me anymore, but I'd be terribly interested to know if there are any I should seek out.

12second_orz August 23 2011, 16:26:19 UTC

Ah- [he wasn't expecting to be taken literally there] N-not exactly, not. And I'm afraid most of what my car hears is unrepeatable. I can't imagine it would run at all if it could understand me.

[... the sooner they get off of that subject the better. He coughs a tad awkwardly] 'Any like you'?

hisoldgirl August 24 2011, 13:35:59 UTC

That's not true. It might have just as sour a personality.

[lucky for him, she's easily distracted] Time Travel Capsule. [she gets a little sad, but shrugs it off] My brothers and sisters are all dead.

12second_orz August 24 2011, 16:13:08 UTC

[Just as-- urk. He can't disagree with that. Fortunately, she's just thrown him several equally bewildering things at once to grapple with.

Ever professional, he aims for the practical response-] I'm sorry for your loss. I- [- and falls straight back into 'what' territory] - time travel? [Of course. It would be time travel, wouldn't it?]
