Bored.

I'm trapped against my will in the Medbay and it's so excruciatingly dull that the only thing I'm able to do right now to entertain myself is reflect on the fact that there are talking ponies on this ship that are capable of grasping objects when they're not in possession of opposable thumbs.

Someone say something that isn't tedious.

If you had a mind like my own, you'd understand what I mean.

[magnetlips]

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Again, shut up.

[on_your_nerves]

Neither do you.

There is a long pause as she goes through several versions of this, much less polite

[magnetlips]

Wrong.

He's the only one allowed to text people with just "Wrong," dammit.

[on_your_nerves]

I'm not doubting you have experience with torture in some form, because that's obvious enough from your deep personal offense at this, but when it comes to knowing what I would find the most agonizing for myself, I am very much correct in thinking it's boredom.

WRONG

[magnetlips]

Do you seriously want to piss off another woman who could beat the crap out of you?

Re: WRONG

[on_your_nerves]

Is that how things work here? Expressing dissent or disagreement is a valid defense for assault or murder?

[magnetlips]

Nope but you're doing a good job making people want to test it out.

Serves me right for trying to be nice. Have fun being bored.

[on_your_nerves]

You have actually made me change my mind, you know, about boredom being the worst torture.

Talking to someone as irrational as you ranks just slightly worse.

[nerves_of_steel]

Sherlock.

[on_your_nerves]

What?

[nerves_of_steel]

Not good.

[on_your_nerves]

She started it.

[nerves_of_steel]

And I'm ending it.

[on_your_nerves]

All I said was that I personally find boredom to be torture. For myself.

Is that's how things are going to be here? I express an opinion someone doesn't like and I get threatened or injured for it?

[nerves_of_steel]

I know you find boredom torturous. But people who have been tortured by an outside force for whatever reason have a right to be irrational about it.

And had she truly been in a position to actually threaten or harm you, I'd have made her to back off as well. However, you are a grown man arguing with a traumatized adolescent girl on (effectively) the internet. Not good.

[on_your_nerves]

So was I factually wrong? About it being the worst for myself?

[nerves_of_steel]

Not really the point.

He finally figured it out

[on_your_nerves]

It was the arguing with a teenage girl when I'm a grown man instead of just walking away part in specific, wasn't it.

Re: He finally figured it out

[nerves_of_steel]

A traumatized teenage girl, yes.

[on_your_nerves]

Noted.

Again, after a long pause

[magnetlips]

I hope you never have to find out otherwise.
