04th landing . video, locked from felix gaeta

[landfall]

So.

What do you guys do when you're really mad at someone?

Productive and unproductive tactics welcome. I also enjoy colorful stories.

[ Private to Felix Gaeta, later ]

[ Okay, it's time to confront this. She's calm. She's good. She's going to say something elegant, and Felix is going to respect her, and they will be friends.

Here goes! ]

You're stupid.

[ wow not as planned ]

Comments

[routemistress]

Depends who they are. There's often punching involved.

[landfall]

the kind where you knock them once in the nose or the kind where you knock them once in the balls?

[routemistress]

[Iris chuckles.]

Depends 'ow pissed off I am, cutie. And if they 'ave balls. Though the worst ones generally do, I find.

[deshabille]

Hit them. Or lock them into a conversation in which all of their options for response make them look like an idiot.

[landfall]

Number two sounds like it has potential.

[deshabille]

It's my personal favorite, I have to admit.

[deadly_ned]

You people are all terrible. Yes, people commenting above me.


Hitting isn't a productive way to solve anything.

[routemistress]

Doesn't 'alf make you feel better sometimes, though, Pieman.

[deshabille]

[chinhands!!]

I notice you haven't offered your own solution.

[landfall]

I did say unproductive tactics welcome.

[bodilesswarrior]

[A smirk plays at her lips.] Depends on the person.

[Private]

What did Felix do?

[private]

[landfall]

Nothing new.

[itstopped]

[On the one hand, this isn't exactly very good timing or exactly a very good way to start this conversation off. On the other hand... it would be strange to say he misses her, because they were never that close, and it's not exactly that he wants someone to talk to because he doesn't talk, but... he does and he does, all the same. He needs someone he doesn't have to explain things to for a while. He needs someone he's not waiting for a betrayal from.

He's been hoping that she would reach out. Just... not like this. But it's better than nothing, so he tells himself to take his blows and get it over with.]

Did something new happen, or are we still covering the same ground?

[landfall]

You're stupid for not talking to me.

What I do isn't logical, Felix! What I say isn't logical. I go by feelings. And I feel stupid. And betrayed. And disappointed. And like I might have just been a pawn between two sides that were both driven by anger and guilt and being stupid.

And I know you've been taking this opportunity to feel more guilty.

[ She doesn't know this, actually. This is a whole lot of guesswork, and her pinning down what made her feel stupid in the first place - thinking that the part she had to play was just Felix Gaeta trying to make up for sleeping with an Eight down on New Caprica. That was what really made her mad. Because she'd trusted him. ]

...right?

ahaha i'm sorry

[captain_jtkirk]

Get a drink with an attractive person?

Never be sorry

[landfall]

You should've seen the pilots at home. All of us were attractive. Half could've been models. There, it was all drinking with attractive people.

[bitteraftertaste]

Well, I'm not sure I'd follow Mr. Kirk's advice, but removing yourself from the situation and coming up with a distraction is generally useful.

[landfall]

I did that.

For weeks.

Still angry.

threadjack fight me

[captain_jtkirk]

Hey I give great advice.

[breathoflight]

I try to address the issue with them in a calm discussion, if possible.

[landfall]

I'm not a calm person.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Graphic violence usually does the trick.

[landfall]

Watching? Engaging in?

[ Video ]

[surfaceshine]

Shoot things.

[Hello Racetrack.]

[ Video ]

[landfall]

Shoot what's making you angry, or just some targets?
