Some Necessary Things

[acid_rayne]

HEY, ADMIRAL.

Like how I wrote that in big ole' letters? Thought I'd try a different way to catch your attention.

Anyhow, my inmate's getting cold and... Wants to burn stuff, so... What, with people setting fire to one another and the ship being bad and all, I'd like to put out a request for, like, everyone and this way they can see someone's writing one out on their behalf.

1: Lots of blankets and some heavier clothing (preferably non-embarrassing).
2: A hot water bottle (with instructions would be good).
3: Advanced warning if a flood's coming up.

I realise the last one's not likely, but you never know until you ask...

I'm not sure shouting will get you much further, comrade.

Perhaps people ought to just suck it up and deal with being a little bit chilly. [that would be the dystopia talking]

[acid_rayne]

Normally I wouldn't care, but since my inmate lodged a request, it's time to be responsible.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, your personal interest prevails.

[acid_rayne]

That's the healthy thing, O'Brien... All the cool kids are doing it!

...trying to win me over to individualism through social pressure. Hm.

[acid_rayne]

Would you rather everyone freezed to death?

I thought you'd be all about the State providing for everyone...

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

I am, but only where necessary. Do you really think we're going to freeze?

[acid_rayne]

Wouldn't be the first time.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

This is hardly the blackout.

[acid_rayne]

Always presume the worst around here...

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

Except this happens every year.

[acid_rayne]

All the more reason not to get lazy.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

All the more reason to stop complaining about it?

[acid_rayne]

There are legitimate complaints.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

But not about it being a bit chilly.

[acid_rayne]

The hell's wrong with a bit of comfort? It's not like putting out a request takes too long.

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

It's an unnecessary indulgence. Unless your inmate is actually dying of hypothermia.

[acid_rayne]

So are your clothes, but you like them, don't you?

he's in a grumpy mood, rayne. :(

[equalsfive.livejournal.com]

If it weren't for the clothes, a lot of us would be dying of hypothermia. The other things? not so much.

Always is!

[acid_rayne]

Not when it's a warm day... Should we put you down as a public nudity supporter, O'Brien?

You can put me down as not caring.
