7th Wave [Video]

[tentacruelest]

It seems my warden's taken a leave of absence.

[Jones bends down, examining a comatose Captain Bush. He grunts, before reaching down and slinging the unconscious man over one shoulder, standing back up again]

For those wanting him, yeh'll have to seek my permission.

[And off he goes; not to the infirmary, but to his own room. Can't trust those doctors to fix him; can't trust anyone]

Comments

[tentacruelest]

I suggest yeh keep your suggestions to yourself, Doctor.

[lastincident]

Please don't make me come and fetch him.

[ ...or do. God knows he's got a lot of boiled over anger issues to get out. Your door might do. ]

[tentacruelest]

Come and break down my door, if you like. I'll fight anyone who makes a move into my property.

[lastincident]

You are aware that I can do that, correct? Bare handed. And there is nothing you can conceivably do to me physically that will do more then, on a good day... tickle.

[tentacruelest]

I am perfectly happy to keep him in my company and not trouble anyone. You are the one causing the trouble here.

[lastincident]

You do realize that your first day here that you murdered a man, and have since made public threats of various nature. I'm not entirely inclined to trust you given the circumstances.

[tentacruelest]

If I murdered my warden - again - I'd have to contend with the stink. It benefits me to keep him alive.

[lastincident]

No you wouldn't. He'd automatically revive. Wardens do not need requests made for their revivals.

[ But whatever, okay. ]

Will you allow me to check on him in a few days, or will I need to get angry about it?

[tentacruelest]

His condition will remain much the same whether you check on him or not.

[lastincident]

It's allowing to monitor his condition while he stays with you, or having your door ripped off it's hinges and him taken by force, Captain.

Your choice.

[tentacruelest]

It's a poor doctor who feels the need to make threats of violence.

[lastincident]

It's a poor captain that'll not allow a doctor access to a patient.

[tentacruelest]

Haven't yeh heard, Banner? I am not captain of this ship or any, now that my time's passed.

[lastincident]

If you comported yourself as one, I imagine people would be more apt to indulge your title it's respect.

[tentacruelest]

The day men on this barge learn respect is the day the Admiral's revealed to be a little yapping terrier at the heels of the Devil himself.

[lastincident]

Your word, captain? Yes, or no. [ GOD must you talk so much Davy. ]

[tentacruelest]

And what of your word, sir?

[Nope nope nope]

[lastincident]

I'll give you my word that so long as I am able to check on Bush every few days, and maintain his good condition, that he can slumber in your cabin.

[tentacruelest]

You will announce yourself before entering, and not enter without my permission.

[lastincident]

I will even politely knock.

[tentacruelest]

I...

accept your terms, Banner.

[lastincident]

Thank you, Captain. I'll be down in a few minutes to check on him.

[ And he'll knock and everything like he said he would. ]

[tentacruelest]

[Limping to the door, Jones pulls it open, glowering down at Bruce. The smell of brine is heavy in the air, and a few inches of water rush out to drown Bruce's ankles once the door is opened]

Banner.

[lastincident]

Captain. [ Bruce glances down, and then asks: ] Does the water always build up like that?

[tentacruelest]

[Giving an indifferent shrug, Jones gives a nod to the miniature dam set up in the hall]

Thank your maintenance crew for that.
