I find myself wanting pecan pie.

There is a certain frustration in waiting. I recall mention of a library aboard; does it contain historical texts from the various universes occupants are from?

[Defensively:] I didn't say that.

[with_discipline]

No, you didn't. My apologies.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

It's just not something I like being associated with. Hey, but don't worry about it.

[with_discipline]

Hunting demons? It would seem a personified occupation.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Depends.

[with_discipline]

On?

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Who you talk to.

[with_discipline]

Fair enough.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

My brother would say that it's a great job. The perks suck, but you save people.

[with_discipline]

That would certainly make it seem worth while.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

If you can deal with the credit card fraud, fake IDs, lying to people, then yeah. It's worth while.

[with_discipline]

What must be done is not always pleasant.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

What about you?

[with_discipline]

What about me?

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

Your job. What do you do?

[with_discipline]

I was First Officer aboard the USS Enterprise until very recently.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

That's a ship, right? Are you in the Navy?

[with_discipline]

It's a starship. I'm a member of Stafleet.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Not at all able to hide the surprised from his voice:] A starship?

[with_discipline]

[You'd think she almost LIKED freaking him out or something.] Yes. The USS Enterprise, NX-01.

[An impressed, and maybe a little nervous, laugh.]

Wow. Alright. So, what was that like?

[with_discipline]

Interesting. I was having difficulty deciding what to do when we were decommissioned.

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Sympathetically:] I know how that is.

[with_discipline]

Do you? [Miiight sound curious.]

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

[Trying not to say too much:] I was unemployed for a while after working in a business practically my whole life.
