acid_rayne: (Gun - Hold)
[personal profile] acid_rayne
So, as most of you probably know, I use the top deck as my personal shooting/harpooning range. Those of you who hear the explosive gunfire, anyway... Between that and the gym, it just about cuts down on me wanting to strangle someone about twice a week.

Kind of miss live targets, though.

Yeah, I know, I'm a warden and that means being all goody-goody. Well, fuck that noise. At the risk of summoning Popeye aboard ship, I am what I am.

And it won't even mean anything after I'm gone from here... I mean, how many of you remember Morgan? Or Sam Tyler? Or that Q guy? And that... Really wasn't too long ago. I'm talking a couple of years, at most, right? Maybe three?

Maybe it's a long time coming before I take my leave, but what if I did? How long before people start forgetting 'that crazy half-vampire chick with the swords'?

And before you go thinking this is self-pitying, it's not. It's one of those rare times I actually get philosophical and say, yeah, nothing you do here probably will matter in the future. It's how you improve here which gets to affect your worlds, your people.

Don't stay here to spite us. Get out to help them.

And that goes for the rest of you wardens, too. You stuck in a rut? Get someone in to help. If you're sitting around and don't know what to do, find one of us to give you some advice.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled bitching and gossip.

Yes, but, what if-- hypothetically-- you didn't want to help anybody in your world? [BECAUSE SCREW THOSE JERKS FOR ARRESTING HIM FOR TERRORISM >CCC]

Well. Right, I agree. If only it were as simple as wanting it.

I was a help to them because of what I am, not what I'm supposed to "improve" into.

If that's the case, then I'd rather rot here than go back and help the others.

He disapproves of the methods I took to defend my people.

I don't need to ask that part.

Why should I ask a question that I know the answer to when asking won't get me anything?

I have, half a dozen times over. Since when has this ship or anyone on it cared about truth or reason?

And what if we're content with who we are, the good and the bad?

And what do I care about them?

I don't wonder what I'm here to learn. I never have, and I suspect I never will. It's fairly obvious, considering my history.

I remember them.

Even if we learn, what's the point? We'll go home to the same situation as before and it'll all happen again.
