7th World: [ voice/video ] A Question of the Mind

[universal_charm]

[ The image presented on the screen shows a Kirk that looks like he probably just got up. He doesn't have enough hair for it to look to messy, but somehow it manages it, and his eyes look bleary. He runs a hand over his face and sighs. ]

Okay, how badly do you need therapy when even you have to admit that you need therapy?

Yeah, I figure, but it would make me feel better if it was something was simple and mundane as a gas, you know? I get shot up enough by Bones, and I do not enjoy the idea of them playing with the different endorphines or whatever in the brain.

[He laughs.] I'm not here to make you feel better, dear captain.

Re: Locked | Video

Could you at least pretend to assuage my fears?

Re: Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

It isn't often that people want me to lie to them.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

Well, for once, please, lie to me. I could do with a good lie or two.

Re: Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

It was hypnosis. Dastardly things.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

Hmm, does that mean I could start clucking like a chicken any time now?

Re: Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

Or worse.

Does that make you feel better?

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

.... Not really. I don't buy into hypnosis or anything, but if it was real, yeah, I'm not okay with it. I'm going to stick with the gas theory, because who knows, maybe they're ultra-sophisticated about that.

Re: Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

There there, Captain. There there.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

Hmm, your attempts to soothe my fears are noted and appreciated, though I think you're enjoying this conversation more than me.

Re: Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

'Tis a fair bet.

There's much to be discomfited by here. I don't see a point in sugar-coating it.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

No, there's not, and I guess I should be grateful for that. So I guess this means I can start filing you under 'friend who will give it to me straight'.

Re: Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

[He laughs. Now that is a hilarious thought.]

Dear captain, would I lie to you?

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

You're the trickster god, aren't you? So that comes with a 'yes', but... I dunno, you're still under that category.

Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

I am indeed. [He laughs.] Go where you find good counsel.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

Good advice. You'd think I'd listen to it more often.

Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

One would hope. But it shall be funny when you don't.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

I am glad to be an endless source of entertainment for you, Loki.

Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

You're one of my favorites.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

Oh, well, I feel like I deserve a medal or at least a sticker for that.

[complicatedliar]

A gold star.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

I will expect it to be on my door step within a week, you know, my gold star. I'll put it on the fridge.

Locked | Video

[complicatedliar]

And not wear it over your heart? Tsk tsk.

Re: Locked | Video

[universal_charm]

It might fall off if I wear it on my heart. As much as I want to, I want it to last. So it's going on the fridge and then a frame when I can find it. You know, sit over the mantle and all that.
