And finally I know why you kept the blanket over yourself completely. Then again, really not tempted by the thought of getting stuck with someone. Literally.
You mean they didn't have them already? I've heard rumors about you running around like that on the planet that never stops being on fire. But yeah, I can stop. As long as you can put up with some heroics now and then.
They're like that if they're pre-planned. If you go in intending to be the hero they're garish and worthless. But when they happen in the moment, that's when they're good.
You're not alone there. Maybe not enough of them have been in the military. People up top always know more than they say. Otherwise they don't stay up top that long.

Been in both positions. I get it. Doesn't mean I'll stop asking questions, but it does mean that when I get told to stop I do.
Good idea. If only it'd take hold. But what do I
know, you know? I'm just an instructor. Maybe if the uglies from HQ came
down they'd finally start to listen good.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought none of us really wanted them here. Even when they needed to come get the head nobody seemed to want them around.

Fucking and heroics are two absolutely unsavory things. For the record.

It's a terrifying thought, and let's never bring up my nakedness again. People might get ideas, you know.

They make me look so stylish.

Heroics is never stylish. It's the fashion equivalent of a neon signpost.

All I'm getting is that I should be having allergic reactions to this conversation, because heroics are gross. This date sucks.
no subject
Damn. If I'd known it was a date I would have worn something nicer. Polished the fringe, rolled the haroomba in failed-Green glitter.
no subject
Ah, Green failure. Music to my ears.
no subject
Most passed. Lot of glitter, though, and thankfully none of it on me. Then again, you've probably got the results too.
no subject
I do. I just pretend I don't. It's nice when people think you don't know as much as you do.
no subject
Yeah, but you're one of the guys in charge. Everyone's got to figure you know more than you're letting on.

Scratch that. I've talked to too many here. Some people have to figure you know more than you're letting on.

It's an unusually difficult concept to understand for a lot of people here, for some reason. I don't understand it.
