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 ]

It might not be the only way, but you wouldn't pick it if it wasn't the better way.

[breathoflight]

It's better for me personally. That doesn't make it universally so.

[landfall]

I don't feel like when I'm praying I'm talking to one big guy in the sky.

Don't you ever want to pray to a woman?

[breathoflight]

I haven't felt particularly compelled to, no.

[landfall]

Why not?

[breathoflight]

It was simply not the way I was raised so it's never bothered me to pray to a God rather than Goddess.

[landfall]

It seems to me that there's something pretty important about women that shouldn't be missing from God.

[breathoflight]

Would it be impossible for a man to possess traits of a woman or vice versa?

[landfall]

No. Everyone should have both. That's the point.

[breathoflight]

Then who's to say He does not already? What difference would it make then if I pray to a God or Goddess?

[landfall]

Then why call God "He"?

Because a bunch of guys say so?

[breathoflight]

Because in the path that I have chosen, that is what is written.

[landfall]

Well, in my world, the gods might be immortal and powerful but they still frak up sometimes. It means there's hope for the rest of us.

[breathoflight]

Frak up?

[landfall]

Mess up.

[breathoflight]

Forgive me, I'm quite behind on... [What's the word? Right.] slang.

[landfall]

Don't worry, no one really seems to share 'frak'.

[breathoflight]

Do you know where the word comes from in your world?

[Well, this conversation got off-topic, but SNOW'S CURIOUS ABOUT SLANG, OKAY.]

[landfall]

...something to do with, you know.

An old word for. Sex.

[breathoflight]

O-Oh...

[Awkward clearing of the throat. v_v;;;]

[landfall]

I don't know anything more specific. Language and literature aren't my strong points.

[breathoflight]

No, it's fine. It's just...not polite conversation where I'm from...

[Which she isn't trying to say NO, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT, of course. Snow's just way not used to casual mentionings of sex.]

[landfall]

If it helps, you can just think of me as really rude.

[breathoflight]

[She laughs a little.]

I don't believe that I could. Blunt, perhaps.

[landfall]

I was in the Colonial Fleet. You think I'm blunt, you should see what those monkeys get up to.
