[obligatory vague post about events in life]

[parked]

1. I have a bad feeling about this.
2. This rumor mill has to stop churning out new and interesting things for bridge members to be into.
3. I could really use some new kind of dangerous, life-threatening adventure right now.

[LOCKED TO CPT. KIRK]
Have you told Spock about anything yet? Because Audrey's kind of getting... big. And Sylar is kind of getting... worrying.

The fun never stops with you, does it Hikaru?

[amazingtongue.livejournal.com]

What's the rumor this week? Anything juicy?

[parked]

Excuse me?

[parked]

Not exactly juicy - just more "oh, I hear Sulu likes anonymous sex" and "oh, Spock enjoys being kicked around by Uhura in stilettos" and "Kirk had a crazy party in his room earlier this month did you hear about it."

...That last one I'm not so sure about.

[amazingtongue.livejournal.com]

So it's the usual. What a mixture of annoyance and relief.

... Well, didn't he? I remember hearing something involving you and Dr. McCoy.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

You're always in some kind of trouble.

[parked]

I'd issue some kind of warning, but that would just encourage it.

First of all, that was not last week, and second of all, it's been blown completely out of proportion and isn't even true.

[parked]

Not always.

And would it be completely futile for me to ask you to not call me by first name?

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

Yes, Hikaru, as a matter of fact it would be.

[amazingtongue.livejournal.com]

It's a real dilemma.

You were the one who told me. I was just going off of what I heard.

[parked]

Hey, all I said was that I've had drinks with them once. That doesn't count as a party.

[parked]

Of course.

I'd wonder if you could be polite for even a moment, but I already know that isn't true.

[amazingtongue.livejournal.com]

Does that really matter to the rumor mill?

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

I hardly see how calling you by your given name is impolite.

[parked]

Because I requested that you use my surname.

[parked]

...Good point.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

I guess I just wasn't listening.

[parked]

Surprise, surprise.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

What's the big deal about it, anyway?

[parked]

I prefer it when acquaintances call me by my last name, is all.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

That's nice, Hikaru-chan.

[parked]

Sylar, don't try to be coy with a foreign language.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

You mean you don't like it?

[parked]

Exactly that. Not that it matters. You're going to continue to use it anyway, since making other people annoyed is the only way you can get anybody to express any interest in your life.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

That's not true.

[parked]

Sure it isn't.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

It's not! You don't know me, you can't just say something like that.

[parked]

But I just did, and since you're getting offended, I'm going to assume I hit a sore spot.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

No, I get offended when people say things that are completely wrong.

[parked]

Of course, Sylar.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

Whatever you're trying to do here isn't going to work.

[parked]

I'm not trying to do anything.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

You're playing some weird mindgame with me.

[parked]

Why would I do that?

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

Because being called the "wrong" name offends you that much.

[parked]

Insulting me is offensive, what can I say? But I'm not trying to do anything in particular.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

Whatever you say, Hikaru-chan.

[parked]

Do not call me that.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

Hikaru.

[parked]

...You're completely missing the point, but don't call me that either.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll give you a nice nickname, like Fluffykins.

[parked]

The fact that you think that you're funny is depressing.

[intuitivelyapt.livejournal.com]

The fact that you don't is pretty depressing, too.

[ICLY BELATED]

[yeswedo.livejournal.com]

Haven't had the chance to get him alone. Don't worry, I'll break it to him. Don't worry about Sylar, I've got it under control.

[parked]

Of course, Captain. I just wanted to check and see.

[yeswedo.livejournal.com]

I know, I understand. I appreciate your good faith, Lieutenant.
