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.

[She would sniff if she were human, but she isn't, so. LINEFACE FULL FORCE.] It's illogical to be sorry over what has passed.

[inhistorybooks]

Well, I'm still sorry.

[Fuck logic. B|]

[with_discipline]

It's unnecessary. [No. :|]

[inhistorybooks]

Fine, I'm not sorry. Happy now?

[This is Trip at seven. Logic is really not in the picture at all. :|]

[with_discipline]

[T'Pol at five clings to it. :|] Happiness is an emotion.

[inhistorybooks]

[HNNNNNG.]

... So, what's your name?

[with_discipline]

T'Pol. What's yours?

[inhistorybooks]

Charles Tucker the Third. Everyone calls me Trip.

[with_discipline]

Why?

[inhistorybooks]

It's a nickname. Trip like... Triple, like three, like Charles Tucker the Third?

[with_discipline]

It's somewhat...abstract.

[inhistorybooks]

I didn't come up with it.

[with_discipline]

You use it.

[inhistorybooks]

'Cause that's what everyone calls me.

[with_discipline]

You could simply ask them not to.

[inhistorybooks]

I don't mind being called Trip.

[with_discipline]

Are you clumsy?

[inhistorybooks]

No. [So indignant. :|]

[with_discipline]

It seems an odd name.

[inhistorybooks]

I told ya where it comes from.

[with_discipline]

That does not make it any less odd.

[inhistorybooks]

Can I pet the cat now?

[with_discipline]

[Wtf Trip.] I suppose.
