[internet cafe] my day just got very, very strange

[Filtered from Jack]

Oh.

My.

God.

The Captain has a journal.

Um.

Be nice to him? And don't mention the moral dilemma I've been having here about jumping him?

God.

My boss.

I'd find that very hard to do. And I do mean very. Good luck with that.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

You'd find not jumping him hard to do, or just not mentioning it?

[cptn-astro-fan.livejournal.com]

I'd find both hard. I kinda know where you're coming from, only the guy I'd like to jump isn't a colleauge so much as my best friend. It's never going to happen, but its hard to stop thinking about it every now and then when I go home from the club alone.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Our history is complicated, to put it mildly. I've said some things, he's said some things . . . and that he is my superior makes it even more so.

[cptn-astro-fan.livejournal.com]

Aww. That sucks. Yeah, relationships in the workplace would be tough. I wouldn't know, but I've heard about them.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

The problem is, with our job, it's hard to meet people in normal circumstances. The work is so intense and the hours are so long, you see.

And once you get to know the Captain I'm sure you'll see why his is a particularly special case.

[cptn-astro-fan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he seems pretty cool from what I can tell.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Yes, "pretty cool" sums it up nicely.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

Mmm, I noticed. He seems... interesting.

I won't say a word, I promise.

Do you mind him being here?

[6caprica6.livejournal.com]

You have secrets from the one you love.

Is that not considered a bad thing in human relationships.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

You're asking me?

I don't love him, but yes, it is usually considered a bad thing.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

No, I don't mind, and he's very interesting, trust me. I'm pleased, really. I think.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

Quite funny, too...

Just so long as you don't mind. There are plenty of people I wouldn't like to turn up here...

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, he's very clever.

If O. showed up, then I might get upset. I suspect he'd comment on my entries with goat porn and obscene limericks. The Captain--I guess I can call him Jack now, actually--he'll behave. Well. He'll behave like Jack.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

I can see that.

...I think it might be better for us all if he doesn't, then. What's goat po-- Actually, never mind.

He seems to be mixing well, though... That's good, isn't it?

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Jack likes people. I'm not surprised at all.

Goat porn is exactly what it sounds like. Be very, very careful of your search terms when researching on the internet, that's all I have to say.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

Seemingly so. He's very easy to talk to.

Oh, yes, I'm sure it was all entirely accidental on your part... I'll heed the advice nevertheless, though, thank you.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

Despite the slurs cast on my nationality, I have no sexual interest in livestock.

Yes, he is.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

I didn't mean that! Just... occasionally... I find a maddening desire to know exactly what is the absolute worst thing on the internet. Perhaps I'm wrong in assuming others do as well...? But I intended no slight to your nationality. ...Anyway, I thought that was sheep, not goats...?

He'll get on well here, then, as it seems everyone here likes to talk...

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

I know. Perhaps I'm being too dry.

The worst thing on the internet, I think, is the goatse picture. And no, you don't want to see it.

Oh, I've no doubt he'll get on. He'd thrive underwater. It's a gift.

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

No, I was just making sure. I've had... problems with people assuming I was insulting them before. It's not you, really.

...I'll take your word for it, then.

Quite a gift, I'm sure.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

You have to be adaptable in this line of work, don't you think?

[legofortress.livejournal.com]

Probably. I've never done very much... Field investigation, though, where I could help it, so it's not a skill I've had a lot of occasion to hone, and I don't think it's a natural talent of mine.

Then again, I'm lucky enough that most situations don't really bother me, unless there are an awful lot of people around.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

It depends on the kind of investigation. It takes training to do undercover well, for example; but being in the field, asking questions and gathering information, that's not as intense. Though for both one needs to be able to think on one's feet.

[frank-chambers.livejournal.com]

Heh.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

I fear that's not a "of course we won't say anything" heh.

[frank-chambers.livejournal.com]

It's mostly a "this is gonna be pretty exiting to watch" heh.

[rockscientist.livejournal.com]

Man, that sucks, or makes things interesting, depending on how you look at it. But he won't hear anything from me.

[morethanteaboy.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that.

It doesn't suck. Just . . . it'll make things here more interesting. I still want to use this to talk about him and think about things--I'll just have to filter more carefully.

[love-the-chase.livejournal.com]

Ah. This sounds tricky.

Well, I won't say a word. Trust me.
