Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 2

(Dormii)
=i put my hands up=
Okay, have it your way. Die a slow painful death. I'm sure your idea of silence is noble.

(Miranda)

=I felt my cheeks heat up as I blushed=

I swear, sometimes, you can be so.......adorable, and that's weird because, well, you're a Spartan. Spartans aren't meant to be adorable, they're meant to be tough, strong soldiers, and you just keep destroying that image.

(Seriously)

Is it? Or is it the cruelty of my captors that forces me to die?

(Dormii)
Hey, I didn't capture you. Syaa did. You want to talk to her, talk to him.

=i gesture to Zeru=

(Solemn)

then why are you the one threatening me?

(Jason)

Okay, now I take offense to that. You don't see me, watering flowers, or playing with kittens.

(Miranda)

True.

=She started counting things off with her fingers=

But you clean, you cook, you do your laundry, you know how to be courteous.......those are not things I'd imagine a Spartan to do.

(Dormii)
Because, I have this reflexive ability to see anyone in a jail cell as shit, now get up, kid, we're going to go feed you.

Okay zero, you do know Force feeding via IV is impossible right? When I say impossible, I mean you can't have lipids go through an IV..... so.... yeah.....

(looking around)

you know what: I think I'll sit here for another hour or two...

(Dormii)
Nimium mala. Venis nobiscum.

=i open the cell and walk in=

( I look at him)

I'd rather not.
She put me in here, she can take me out.
for now, I think I'll sit here, thinking of the hands of an angry god.

(Dormii)
=i look at Zeru=
Get Syaa, please.

=comms syaa and she shows up=

ok to the messhall

(I look at Syaa)
There she is: the little Starlet.
how do you feel?
I've been sitting in here for two days, without food or water.
Because you couldn't take a joke.
Because you were too insensitive.
How do you feel? Proud? Glad?
How about overjoyed with causing the suffering of another?

(at Zeru)
how about you shove your egotistical head up you narcissistic ass?

syaa are you trying to make me feel bad?

me nice try kid you don't know shit

(Jason)

=I walked closer to her=

Well, what is it you think a Spartan should be doing? Other than fighting, of course.

(Dormii)
Well, you got this taken care of.

=i turn and walk out, heading to the hanger to try a theory=

(Laughter)
I don't know shit!?
(more Laughter)

=they arrive at messhall=

here's an idea your in a cell for your actions involving that hologram and if i heard from her right spying on her room

(I laugh hard)
(insultingly)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhkaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

(WTF?)

whoever said I was high and mighty?
Better yet, Who gives two fucks for it?
I mean seriously.

(???)
huh?

(Miranda)

=I did my best to match eye level with him. Instead, he looked down into my eyes, and I looked up into his. We maintained the little staring contest for at least a minute, before he backed down=

(Jason)

Fine, don't tell me.

=I started walking towards the mess hall, rifle slung across my shoulders=

If you need me, I'll be in the mess.



----Okay, how long does the ban last? Am i on probation or something?----

(strangely)

I live here? uhmm....

(confused)

?????

(Miranda)

=I watched as he walked off. I stood in the hall for a bit, wondering what it was I truly meant=

(Jason)

=I headed for the mess hall for a bite to eat. To be honest, I did ponder Miri's statement=

What am I supposed to be? How exactly does she want me to act?

(Jason)

=I walked into the mess hall, grabbing only a sand-which, and a soda. I sat at a table, and ate=

Hell, this is one of those questions that can't be answered, isn't it?

(Jason)

I mean, does she want me to act like a Spartan? All serious, and walking around with a pole up my ass? No thank you. I am fine acting the way I want: relaxed.

(Miranda)

=I got back to the hangar, but instead of going back to the ship directly, I decided to go to the ship exit. I wanted to see space, and the planet below=

It really is a beautiful sight.

(Jason)

=I had finished the sandwich, but truth be told, I didn't feel like getting up just yet. I still had a lot of thinking to do=

I guess, maybe I should ask someone for advice. I mean let's face it, I know less about what women, than any other man alive.

(thoughtful)
you've never lived on Earth.

(Jason)

=A tiny voice appeared in my head. I wasn't going crazy. It was more like.....my conscience=

Maybe you should just sit down with her, and ask her what she really means. Or better yet, talk to Dormii. he said he's like a confessional.

(Jason)

Yeah, maybe I should.

=I hailed Dormii on the comms=

Hey Dormii, you there? Your offer to talk still on the table?

Right. You wouldn't know.

(Miranda)

=I stayed there for a bit, at the edge of the hangar's doors. I watched as the planet turned, and the sight of it, was truly marveling=

(Jason)

=I got no response=

Great, the one time I want to take him up on the offer, and I get nothing.

(Dormii)
=i grab my comm unit=
Yeah, Jason, sorry. I'm here. What's up?

(Jason)

Hey Dormii. Listen, you said you'd be willing to listen if I had something to say, right?

(Dormii)
Of course, what's up?

(Jason)

I need some advice. Is there somewhere we can talk?

(Miranda)

=I walked away from the hangar bay doors, and made my way back to the ship. A little while later, I was onboard, and sitting at the table, reading a book=

(Dormii)
Yeah, meet me in my room?

=i starting there=

(Jason)

=I looked at the map zery gave me=

Alright, see you in a few minutes.

=I left the mess-hall, and made my way to Dormii's room. It was a long walk, but then again, it was a super-carrier=

(Miranda)

=I read the book for a bit, before I decided to stop=

Argo, can we talk?

=Argo appeared on the table instantly, in his usual form=

Yes Miranda?

=I chewed my lip for a second=

It's about Jason. I feel like I'm still taking my anger out on him.

(Dormii)
=i arrive at my room and wait=

(Argo)

Well, to be fair, you did beat the crap out of him during that sparring match.

(Miranda)

I didn't beat the crap out of him! He's a Spartan, he can take it.

(Jason)

=A few minutes later, I was standing outside what I hoped was Dormii's room. I commed him to be sure=

Dormii, am I standing outside your room? I'm in the right hall, but.........you never gave me a room number.

(Dormii)
Name's on the door.

(Jason)

=I notice his name on the door two doors to my left, and slap myself=

Alright, I see it.

=I walk over, knock, and let myself in=

Hello.

(Argo)

Maybe so, but you still vented most of your anger on him, and again when you yelled at him earlier today. It hurts him Miranda. He wants to help you, to talk with you, but you keep pushing him away.
