007. Thought Experiment [OPEN]

[a_perfect_end]

[He's just going to sit, chin on his fist, tilted awkwardly to watch the camera a moment. In light of recent events on-station, this has never been more necessary. Sometimes, the act of planning is its own solution.]

Greetings, Sacrosanct.

Describe: the perfect day.

...Detail is preferable, but entirely voluntary.

Spontaneous. Improvised.

Not what you'd call 'perfect'.

[video]

[a_perfect_end]

No, but I was asking you.

...The entire. Day? Completely unplanned.

[Yep. That's. Horrifying.]

[Audio still, natch]

[isoalgorithm]

Yes. You never know what's going to happen. It's exciting.

[always video~]

[a_perfect_end]

That's one word for it.

[And his voice didn't even crack or anything when he admitted that.]

Still, there must be at least one thing you want for sure out of a flawless day.

Perfect is difficult to quantify.

[Also, Anon doesn't exactly have many good reference points besides 'my friends are alive and Abraxas is not'...]

[video and icons that match~]

[a_perfect_end]

Well, sure, at first. But you've got to start somewhere.

Give it a try. You might surprise yourself.

[video and anon and clu are clearly forever alone]

[traceurmonitor]

[B-but he's not designed for creative thinking like that. This is why he will never been an artist, musician, or dancer.]

Abraxas: removed. Friends: Intact and safe.

[... less sun.]

[video; solitary programs alone together?]

[a_perfect_end]

Oh, I don't know; he's got a purpose, too.

[Distantly: ] Friends. Difficult to protect, for the corresponding risk-to-reward ratio.

[ a long pause, before he just goes for it. ]

Sunny early in the morning, not too hot, not too cold, a whole day of doing absolutely nothing and not having to worry about it. Afternoon, raining just when it starts to get hot, not enough for the ground to get all gross and crap, though. Really clear, nice night, good food and drinks.

...Wife, dog, kid, house with a fence on the beach are all more than welcome, buuuut not so much possible. But hey, if we're going for perfect, s'it.

Re: audio

[has_a_hardline]

You want a wife and a kid and white picket fence?

That's precious. [In a good way. Even if her smile is all teeth and she looks like she's about to cry tears of laughter.]

[howkickassiam]

Hey, the peanut gallery-- you're up late. Isn't it your bedtime.

[ ROLLING HIS EYES. ]

Audio;

[has_a_hardline]

Awesome people don't need to sleep, Mr. White Picket fence.

[notyourchauffer]

No such thing as perfection. But a day of blue skies and my best friends peacefully all in one place would come very close.

[a_perfect_end]

[He keeps hearing this. It's lost its power to infuriate him, though it's still. Unnerving.

Here, have a slightly sour grin hello.]

Oh, now what makes you say that?

There, see? You do have an ideal day. It's a place to get started.
