And how big a jump is that from 'hold still while I shoot this woman in the face'.

1/2

[askedtobe]

that's not fair. that's not how it happened. i WOULDN'T.

[askedtobe]

you actually think of me like that?

[cargojet]

Of course not, Pete. But I know what he's like. I know how insipid he is, how he gets in under your skin. I know no amount of being careful is going to stop you falling under his spell if that's what he wants. He's the fucking Pied Piper of Hamlyn.

[askedtobe]

and what if he picks someone else?

[cargojet]

Then it won't be you, Pete.

[askedtobe]

doesn't make it any better. it'll still be someone, he'll still rope them in. at least i can keep an eye on him.

[cargojet]

If you're proposing what I think you are, don't.

[askedtobe]

who said i was proposing anything.

[cargojet]

Good. I don't want you near him. Not for some misguided sense of controlling him or anything else. It'd be all he needed.

voice.

[coy]

Can I ask you for a favor without you asking me a ton of questions about it? [ does she sound a little desperate? she is.]

[askedtobe]

i wouldn't be controlling him. you actually think i could control adam?

voice.

[cargojet]

I could. Only question that matters anyway is this one: am I gonna regret it later?

voice.

[coy]

No. Its for the betterment of the ship. I promise. I need to know if there's a place on the ship. Like a soundproof room.

voice.

[cargojet]

That depends what you mean by a soundproof room. Are we talking 'child with a superscream that can burst eardrums' soundproof or 'recording studio' soundproof?

voice.

[coy]

Recording studio should work. Recording studio that someone random wouldn't just walk into. So... off the beaten path or something.

voice.

[cargojet]

My first suggestion would be to use one of the holodecks. They can produce a lot of noise themselves but you can't hear anything on the other side of the door. People can just walk in, but if you put a sock on the doorhandle or something, that should dissuade most people.

voice.

[coy]

One of the holodecks. Okay. That might work. [ she could just have someone guard the door, take shifts. stefan will probably be trying to find anyway out of this. but they have to do it. to bring him back to not!ripper!stefan. she pauses.] Any other suggestions?

[cargojet]

^ See reasons why you shouldn't be anywhere near him.

voice.

[cargojet]

There's a room just a little further down the hall where I store furniture, but the sound might carry. The elevator's too small, shuttle bay is invite only, or you could use one of the rooms on the higher floors, choose a number between fifty and two fifty, and you'll probably have the whole floor to yourself. Hopefully. Nothing like fifty floors of spaceship to muffle noise.

voice.

[coy]

And I can just get into one of them? [ oh wait, she's got vampire strength.]

voice.

[cargojet]

Unoccupied rooms will open to anyone. That's the problem with moving, the only room that locks just for you is the one with your number on it. There's a lot of us on One with doors that don't lock.

voice.

[coy]

I didn't know that. [ hmm.] Thank you, Nathan. Seriously.

voice.

[cargojet]

No trouble at all. I hope whatever it is you get it sorted out without much trouble, and if there's anything else I can do just give me a call.

voice.

[coy]

I'm going to be kind of scarce for a few days whenever we start but... I will call if I need anything. Thank you.
