[and through the scratchy sounds of him messing with the comm, Mordecai's dry growling voice is heard]

Alright, what is this shit? Prison? [sarcastic chuckle goes here] You think you can keep me here? HAH!

Tannis, if you're somehow involved in this I promise I will have your head mounted on my wall before the day is over. I don't care how much you pay.

[more scratching, a few thuds as he moves around the room]

By the way, the room sucks. [pause] And where the HELL is Bloodwing?! [raaaah the sniper is angry]

Fucking great. [oh the frustrated mutter of the wild Mordecai as he stalks the plain--]

How long have you been on this boat?

[nottheaveragekg.livejournal.com]

Four months? Five months? Somewhere around there. Stay here long enough and time loses its meaning.

[silence while he jaw clenches]

Just how far away is the freakin' golden shore? Shit! [caaalming forcibly]

Fine. I'll just get off at the next stop. People have to get on here somehow.

[He's kidding. He has to be kidding.

Ashelin stops for a moment. Then she laughs.]

Things don't work like that on here. Go on up to the top deck and throw yourself off. You'll end up right back on the ship. You can keep trying it as many times as you want. You're stuck here.

[He really, really doesn't like where this is going]

So what, people just appear? The fuck is this, hell?

[starting to think he was right in his first assumption of 'prison']

[nottheaveragekg.livejournal.com]

You got it. People are just brought here. The Captain wanted you. He took you. It's as simple as that.

[She's back to serious again. The mood changes never last long with her if they're different from her normal stern demeanor.]

You could call it that. I'm not going to argue and soften it for you.

[bit of a pause here while he mulls things over]

Good. I'd be even more pissed off if you did.

[nottheaveragekg.livejournal.com]

There's not a damn person on this ship who's going to care if you're pissed or not until you start interfering with personal life.

[chuckle]

I'll try to keep that in mind.
