[Awkward silence for a few moments.]

Anyone here know how to dispose of a corpse on this ship? Particularly one that is... falling apart...




((ooc: Yes, the fish that so traumatized Mikaela, and had taken up residence in Ironhide's bathtub... has passed on. He's not allowed pets.))

Is it... a _child?

[heavyweaponsbot]

. . .

Hmn. I... guess it... could be young?

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

You do not know? Sweet _children are very easy to tell the difference between adult humans and elves.

[heavyweaponsbot]

I can tell human spawn from adults! Easy enough!

You think I am blind?

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

You said you "guessed" it could be young.

Not at all. I once knew a blind man who even without sight knew what a child was.

[heavyweaponsbot]

It is not human. I have not made a study of... these things.

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

[In sets the disappointment.]

I see. Such a pity.

[heavyweaponsbot]

[He pauses]

Why is it a pity I do not have the corpse of a human child in my possession?

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

[Does he really want the answer to this?]

Hmmm. I simply love children. That's all.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... Hmn.

[He is skeptical of that answer.]

Then... a live child would be preferable, hmn?

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

Either is fine with me.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You are a... strange human.

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

I am an elf and I prefer to think of myself as unique.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... A what?

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

An elf. You don't know what that is?

[heavyweaponsbot]

Would I have asked if I did?

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Would have you?

[Gleeeeeeeee.]

An elf is an elf. We are pointy-eared creatures.

[heavyweaponsbot]

No. I would not have asked.

...

Yeah, that is about as descriptive as it gets.

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

I have nothing else to compare it to. People are people, aren't they? It's easier for you to just call me a person.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Call you an organic, then.

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

That's right. I'm flesh and blood.

[heavyweaponsbot]

Lucky you.

[Sarcasm is strong with this one.]

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

[It's a bit lost on her. Hard to insult someone who doesn't understand the meaning of insults.]

I know. I enjoy it _very much.

[heavyweaponsbot]

... You have some glitch in your processor, or are you always like this?

[mysweetchildren.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you're talking about. There's nothing wrong with me.
