Even Doctors Get the Blues

[sharpestscalpel]

Given the lack of anything else to do, I have been reminiscing. That means I have been drinking.

Not as much tonight, though. Just long sips of bourbon and a few puffs of this cigar I've been saving. Hell if I care what security says about the risk of fire in space. Might be a mercy if fire took us all out, the way things've been going.

'Ppears I'm fucking introspective tonight.

Goddammit.

Might as well get it over with. Introspective means memory lane, means wishing I'd never married that cunt Jocelyn, means wishing I'd signed up for the service years earlier, means looking at old pictures.



Ah, the Academy. Good times. Jocey might've been a royal pain in my ass but she wasn't too shabby with the camera. She always liked that one.

I always liked this one of her.



Damn shame she was a bitchface traitor to the Empire.

ETA: Oh, I found another one. Maybe I should cut my hair again.



Nah, if I cut my hair, I'd look like that douchebag from the other universe.

I've always been rather partial to the hats they wear in that video. Hats are a mark of style.

I wouldn't say that was what I was implying but no knowledge is frivolous, yeah?

Hats are, in fact, a mark of high fashion. I do not indulge in them, myself, as they are against uniform code. However, they are quite fascinating as an artistic form.

Despite being Vulcan, and a scientist by self definition, I might have to debate this fact with you. I have recently spent a great deal of time on this network and I feel that the vast majority of the knowledge I have gleaned is, in fact, quite superfluous.

Uniform code, bah. Bunch of bullshit.

Seems to me, a lot of information only appears superfluous because you do not yet exist in the context that renders it useful.

A point upon which you and I also agree.

That is a very interesting statement, Doctor, I will have to ruminate upon it further.

As suspected, you did not require any leniency in order to excel at this game, Doctor McCoy. If advancement in your reality is earned through slaughter of previous officers, I can only assume your tactical skills have developed over years. They are evident in your gameplay.

Little meditation is always good for the mind.

You do yoga?

Yeah, hustle has a bit of colloquial nuance that involves downplaying one's skill in order to catch an opponent unawares.

Which is to say I didn't make CMO when I did just by being pretty.

Yes, actually. I have found that the reorientation of central geometry is an excellent method of exercise as well as a conduit for meditation.

The views it provides, also, are of interest to me.

You hustled your way to CMO, then, an interesting use of the word. The application of multiple definitions makes the statement particularly nuanced.

Now, see, I knew I liked you. Can't get my own Spock to do yoga with me to save his life.

That boy needs some unbending.

Can't complain about the views myself.

I'm all about fucking nuance, Cheeks. It's more fun that way.

Strange, as you have indicated how much your own Spock likes to bend.

It'd be fucking logical, is what it would be. But that cocksucker operates on a double-standard in that department.

That is most curious as double standards are, fundamentally, illogical.

Have you pointed this out?
