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 ]

People are stupid, my love. Is this who I suspect it might be?

[ she's gone facefirst into a pillow, so this is somewhat muffled. ]

Prob'ly.

Don't 'it 'im too 'ard, then. Good luck, pet.

What if he just gets that wounded look on his face?

...That's always when I want to nut 'em the 'ardest.

[This is a lie; that look would make Iris into instant marshmallow and she knows it.]

He's pretty good at being a victim.

[ And she is pretty good at unexpectedly turning into marshmallows too. ]

Want me and Mal to 'ide in your wardrobe in case you need backup?

I think that would be really awkward.

[The wickedest grin.]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Look at Felix. Think about awkward.

Now decide if he needs any more of that in his life.

...Good point. Plus, 'e'd probably shoot us.

All right. This is what I want you to do: pretend we're both there. Listening to every word. I want you to imagine Mal's expression. My less than appropriate interruptions.

If that doesn't carry you through any awkward that arises, we're not the women I think we all are. And I'm pretty sure we are.

Good news! He'd probably miss.

[ h a h a ]

Great, now I'll burst out laughing inappropriately.

Not so sure 'e would, petal. But laughing in 'is face'd short-circuit 'im messing you about, now, wouldn't it?

Did I give you a Lassiebot? Those are voice-activated - you can get 'em to ping your friends if you safeword.

...a robot?

Aye. Rex and Babs and me came up with 'em during the rabies thing. Mostly for a backup comms and page system.

Not a person-sized robot.

[Iris is wearing hers, which she built in the shape of a rather attractive metal hairclip, and she turns her head now to show Racetrack.]

No, they're little. Very limited. About all they can do is contact each other; I 'ad to make 'em as inmateproof as I could, 'cause the idea were that everyone could 'ave one. Most of 'em I made to look like little animals or jewellery.

And what does it do? Why have it?

The rabies 'appened on account of that Toto managed to knock 'is warden on the 'ead and keep 'im tied up for days. Senji were one of those quiet types without many friends, and no bugger noticed 'e were missing.

We made the 'bots to stop that 'appening again. Mine'll call backup for me if I say a safeword in 'earing range of it - or you can set 'em on a timer, for example - ping your friends if you don't tell it not to inside a specified time. And they ping if your lifesigns drop.

Sounds like a good idea.

You offering?

Course I am, you daft mare. D'you want one of the standard ones or shall I do you a custom job?

I have no idea what I'd do with a custom one.
