085 | [Video]

[with_discipline]

[The video's streaming from the computer on T'Pol's desk, instead of her PADD; she figured it was the better way to get a wider view, and she wants to get the cat in the shot - but she isn't going anywhere near him. Khoteth is stretched out on her bed, kneading the sheets, and looking very content. He's ignoring the fact that his human turned tiny.

T'Pol is standing closer to the computer, facing away from the camera, staring curiously at the cat. Her hair is tucked behind her tiny, pointed ears. How many Vulcans are on board, I mean really. When she looks at the camera again, her head is cocked to the side.]

I'm uncertain where I am. This is unlike any ship I've ever seen, but it seems to be one. [Paaaaause] Is this an Orion freighter? [Please no. D:

Khoteth makes a noise and rolls onto his back, then his other side, and T'Pol glances back at him for a second.] May I ask what this creature is? I've never seen its kind before.

It's cat! Can I pet it?

[with_discipline]

A cat? [Curious. Explain. :|] ...Are you supposed to pet them?

[inhistorybooks]

Uh-huh. Can I pet it? Is it a boy or a girl? Do you know what its name is?

[with_discipline]

...I don't know. It has claws. [She's super wary. :|]

[inhistorybooks]

It's not gonna hurt you unless ya make it mad. Don't they have pets on Vulcan?

[with_discipline]

I have a sehlat at home. Her name is Pel. [Ponder ponder.] I don't think she would get along with this creature.

[inhistorybooks]

How come? What's a sehlat?

T'Pol?

[with_discipline]

Are we acquainted?

[takeyouapart.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Only, you don't remember. I'm Merlin.

[with_discipline]

I don't see how I would forget.

[takeyouapart.livejournal.com]

There's sorcery here. Sometimes it makes people forget things.

[with_discipline]

There is no such thing as sorcery.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Your cat is ugly.

[with_discipline]

[Your face is ugly. :|] It is not my cat.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

[That is mean and unnecessary.]

It still doesn't have any hair.

[with_discipline]

Of course not. It has fur.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Why do you have it?

[with_discipline]

It was in the room I woke in.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[Oh, great. :|]

T'Pol.

[with_discipline]

[There is a tiny Vulcan tearing her eyes away from the weirdo cat to peer at her computer.]

Yes?

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[This is going to end well. So. well.]

I'm Slade. I've been assigned to look after you while you're here.

[After a brief pause--]

How are you doing?

[with_discipline]

[Sorry Slade. Princess Prissy is going to be difficult. :|]

I wasn't informed that anyone was to look after me. I would like to return to Vulcan, now. [Pause; she's pretty sure he's human and humans say weird things like:] Please.

[terminates.livejournal.com]

[DEAL WITH IT. :|]

It's not my choice. The Admiral makes unilateral decisions here.

You'll go home in the next few days.

[with_discipline]

He's informed you of the schedule? [Less questions, more studying. You have an eye patch, sir.]
