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.

okay. most people don't have that to their advantage? so i'd say sneaking into important places where i could get arrested for the next forever isn't exactly my favorite hobby.

When you can get away with it without getting into too much trouble, it's fairly amusing. My friend John got a corporal to let us in the building by pulling rank.

[whyarewehere]

what were you accomplishing by doing this, anyway? it still sounds dumb.

[on_your_nerves]

We were trying to find out if there was an enormous, genetically-engineered dog that had been released on the moor.

[whyarewehere]

why would there be?

[on_your_nerves]

My client thought he'd seen one on the moor--and that one had killed his father as a child--and the facility was rumored to house scientists performing genetic engineering.

[whyarewehere]

that sounds more fun as a movie and not something real that could legitimately rip your face off, sorry.

[on_your_nerves]

It wasn't real.

[whyarewehere]

that doesn't sound fun still. it sounds like having to do a lot of work and maybe get in trouble for it to figure out you were wasting your time to begin with.

i mean, i'm all for wasting time. ask anyone. but that just sucks.

[on_your_nerves]

It wasn't a waste of time. I was able to prove that a scientist was drugging my client with a chemical weapon created to induce fear.

[whyarewehere]

none of this counts as fun.

[on_your_nerves]

Yes it does. Your fun just sounds indolent.

[whyarewehere]

is that a real word?

He may be messing with you, Grif

[on_your_nerves]

No. I make up new words all the time.

It's fun.

Successfully!

[whyarewehere]

you are a really strange guy.

God Grif

There are dictionaries on the omnicoms. Look up "indolent."

[whyarewehere]

you're bluffing.

[on_your_nerves]

Just look it up.

[whyarewehere]

no. i'm not looking. this is like made-you-look when you're not in the same place.

[on_your_nerves]

Indolent

Pronunciation: /ˈɪnd(ə)l(ə)nt/
adjective

Origin: mid 17th century: from late Latin indolent-, from in- 'not' + dolere 'suffer or give pain'. The sense 'idle' arose in the early 18th century

1. wanting to avoid activity or exertion; lazy

Used in a sentence: The annoying man on the omnicoms was too indolent to use proper capitalization.

[whyarewehere]

tl;dr

Someone doesn't fart around much on the internet

[on_your_nerves]

What does that even mean?

[whyarewehere]

too long, didn't read.

[on_your_nerves]

It was three sentences and a short definition, at most.

[whyarewehere]

you're expecting me to read a dictionary entry. those are, by definition, the most boring things ever of all time unless you count the phone book.
