No Way, No How

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

It's come to my attention that we now have these mandatory screenings? The health ones I understand, because hey, let's catch those alien parasites before they explode out of people, right? Very sound plan.

The psychological one, though, I'm not sure who I have to talk to about it, so I'm just talking about it here, since I figure they'll see it.

I'm claiming cultural...uh, exemption.

Talking about...things, and feelings, is not really a Viking thing to do. So I'm not doing it. Annnd you can't make me.

I'd rather let the shrinks take their chances than wait and cross my fingers that nobody's gonna go nuts.

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

If they go nuts, that's their problem.

[craaazyisland]

Yeah? Until they start killing people or taking everybody else down with them. And don't say it wouldn't happen.

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

Anything could happen. Ants could spontaneously erupt from all our ears because the ship gets infested with space ants.

Maybe this will work for some people, but for some of us, it just intrudes and isn't helpful towards, you know, actually dealing with our problems.

[craaazyisland]

Well, now nobody has a choice anymore. So, tough. Some people never had a choice at all.

I see you're feeling well enough to argue. :(

Even though... you are right.

I have nothing else to do in this damn bubble until they finish up, so...

I wish I wasn't, but I'd know better than anybody.

I'll come and visit you, then, if they'll allow me.

I know you do, but I don't see the point in arguing like they do. People have reservations about everything here, it seems. You don't have to pick on them.

[craaazyisland]

I'm not picking on him! It's the truth! So he'd better learn to suck it up.

You.

Nevermind. Your heart is in the right place, but the way you're presenting it is too blunt, I guess? Just nevermind.

Well sometimes the truth hurts.

Good night, Steve.

[Locked] ... a few minutes later

[craaazyisland]

... sorry. I'm not. Feeling like myself.

[Locked]

[ghost-bait.livejournal.com]

I see that.

[craaazyisland]

It's probably better you don't come see me.

[Locked]

[ghost-bait.livejournal.com]

I'll see you tomorrow. We'll both be less annoyed then.

I'm like this right now: （＾〜＾＃）, and so are you. Tomorrow will be better.

Good night.

Everyone always has a choice. I'm not being forced to do stuff I don't want to unless it at least makes sense to me. This doesn't.

[craaazyisland]

No, they don't. I can tell you that for sure. Besides, if we had a choice, we wouldn't be on this goddamn ship in the first place.

Enjoy pouting about it, then. They're not gonna listen to you.

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

They're also not going to get me to cooperate. Too bad for them.

[craaazyisland]

Have you seen the security department? Good luck, buddy.

[i-saw-myself.livejournal.com]

What are they going to do? Beat me into it? That's not counterproductive at all.
