[There's some static on the line, a huff, then two distinct thumps.] First and foremost, all those interested in getting positions better be at the docks bright and early. 0500 should give you plenty of time to organize yourselves. We'll start drills 0505 - if you're late, you'll end up on cleaning duty

[brandedjustice]

Yes.

Because you're part of this organization, people will hunt you down. That is the danger of being an officer and since you are the best I've got, I need you in top shape.

[Pause. He inhales and a soft click sounds through the feed. It sounds like a rock hitting another.]

I could train you personally, if you would prefer the embarrassment to be saved for your commander only.

Ain't soundin' so hot, yeah?

[Oh snaps, that sounds like something falling. Smoker hisses on the other line.] Long day.

[thanatolatry]

[ lolol. Just lets out a mocking amused dark chuckle ]

S'that so -- ? Should probably do somethin' 'bout that before leading lambs to the fuckin' slaughter.

Is that what you think? [He scoffs.] These people have more strength and balls than you give them credit.

... I didn't know you cooked.

[Long pause, like he's deeply contemplating that offer. Or maybe just wondering what the hell couscous is.]

What are we celebrating?

[Click; oh yeah, he's back to rock piling.] It's not as if I'm domesticated, Spike.

Private; Voice 2/2

[brandedjustice]

We're celebrating still having our damn heads, partner.

[chrysophilist]

I'll be there, cap'n.

Voice;

[brandedjustice]

Good.

[chrysophilist]

So. What's your favorite dessert?

Voice;

[brandedjustice]

[Long pause.] What?
