16 - All hands

Dec 26, 2011 13:41

I'm not good with children. They aren't a thing I have much to do with. I hope there're unaffected folk who are better at it?

[Filtered to Stildyne's regulars-- not even his friends, strictly, but expanded out to people he talks to]

Report in if you can-- who's younger, who's all right, who remembers where they are.

Who are you supposed to be?

der_umgekehrte December 27 2011, 00:27:08 UTC

[Well that answers that in one case]

Chief Brachi Stildyne, lately of Ragnarok. And you, miss?

[Although he may know that accent]

uberwaldian December 27 2011, 23:14:02 UTC

[The accent is definitely recognizable, although the German-esque is far more pronounced now. As is the sheer level of noble haughtiness.]

I'm Angua von Uberwald. Of the stupid Uberwald von Uberwalds. What are you supposed to be chief of?

der_umgekehrte December 28 2011, 00:17:52 UTC

On Ragnarok, 'of security'. Here, of nothing in particular. Just 'chief'.

[That's what he was afraid of.]

Hullo Chief! I'm terribly good with children. Need a hand over there?

der_umgekehrte December 27 2011, 00:27:28 UTC

Not yet, I'm trying to gauge the damage as yet.

can_has_vodka December 27 2011, 00:35:16 UTC

Right, well, I'm going to see if I can attract the kidlets with a snowfort.

der_umgekehrte December 27 2011, 00:36:30 UTC

...sounds like their native habitat. [Yes he's joking.
Probably.]

[Serious Time-Tot talking to an adult is serious. Also, he thinks everyone here are Gallifreyans.]

Narvinektralonum reporting in, sir, and still the same age. [Or so he thinks...]

Has there been a time distortion, sir?

[Filter] der_umgekehrte December 27 2011, 06:50:30 UTC

[If Stildyne invoked gods the 'oh my god' would have been involuntary. As it is, have a look of horror.]

Narvinektralonum. [All right. File that away. People have more difficult names.]

There's been, ah- [how would they put it] a localized time distortion. How old are you usually?

[Filter] timesbureaucrat December 27 2011, 07:00:36 UTC

[He looks worried. He knows enough temporal theory to understand that that's potentially very bad.]

Today I'm seven and eight months and five days. Unless it isn't really today anymore right here. Is it?

[Filter] der_umgekehrte December 27 2011, 07:01:42 UTC

I-- don't think it is. For you. Precisely. Do you know my name?

I've handled one or two, if trouble arises. I'll also be able to handle any cuts and scrapes in the infirmary.

[Private] der_umgekehrte December 27 2011, 07:24:22 UTC

After running into young Narvinektralonum can I say that I'm pleased you're yourself.

[Private] championoftime December 27 2011, 08:17:05 UTC

I have very good reason not to want to be that age again. [It was when he first killed someone! YAY!] And he's actually far better behaved than I ever was.

[Even as an adult.]

No trouble yet?

[Private] der_umgekehrte December 27 2011, 08:18:27 UTC

None. They're just all very small. Starships aren't safe places. I don't like it. [What if someone gets out an airlock. What if someone gets caught in a lift shaft. Fretfretfretfret.]
