[ Kepler has always been, for good or ill, one of the inmates who considered his death a big bright blinking sign that Something Needs to Change. He’s been an active and thoughtful part of his own process, because that’s part of who he is; his problems had less to do with impulse and more to do with control. And he’s always been aware of them; Goddard Futuristics didn’t skimp on the psych evals, even he’s always taken the information with a sizable grain of salt, given the company’s motivations.

So while this might seem a little out of left field, it… isn’t. Not even close. It’s the result of a lot of soul searching and thought and yes, some of the recent events. ]


What is it. That makes you angry?

[ A short pause. ]

Not… huffy. Not… grumpy. Not even snippy. I mean… angry. I mean… stupid decisions angry. Lifelong goals angry. Fuck the high road pissed. Off.

And.

How do you handle it? And… preference for answers that… aren’t specific to this place. For obvious reasons, I would think.

[ If you’re looking for Kepler, he’s pretty easy to find. There’s the lounge, always. The deck is pretty frequent too. He’s spending more time in his cabin lately, for reasons that are no one’s business but his and Jacobi’s *cough* but he’s also at the library a little more, often with a notebook by his side and an intense expression on his face. Suffice to say that things are starting to settle down a little into something workable and normal for him, for all that he’s going to be the first to say that that’s just the setting for a shoe to drop soon enough. ]

[Despite the angels spilling most of his secrets, Fou-Lu is still guarded in his answer, probably leaving it too abstract to do much good. He also continues to have no sense of network etiquette (or... human etiquette in general) and begins without introduction or preamble to a stranger.]

Betrayal, greed, and needless cruelty.

[Fortunately, a lot of Fou-Lu's destroy all humans energy has ebbed away over his months onboard and he doesn't start an argument, just nods.]

And for treating those who forced our hands accordingly, here we find ourselves imprisoned.

[Fou-Lu, flattening a city is not a proportionate response.]

Being treated like you've been invited to the party and you should be grateful, when what you're actually doing is cleaning up everybody's mess.

Disloyalty. Abandoning people in their hour of need. Cowardliness.


As for your second question... I suppose I'm still trying to find that one out.

In a dangerous situation, one needs to rely on the people around them. If I can't... they're useless. Worse than useless, a lot of the time.

She's gotten used to having Warren around almost all the time, so recent developments have been an Adjustment. Not one that she really minds making, but when she has to use her communicator to talk to him instead of just looking over her shoulder, she notices it.

"I save it up. Like making a massive ball out of rubber bands. I use it when I need strength or resolve or to punch someone really 'ard in the dick. You at 'ome?"

[He seems pleasant enough, but there's just enough of an edge that Kepler might notice.]

Oh man, I love being talked about. But if I'm the one doing the bitching, I get the wasp treatment.

How's that fair?

Anyway, to answer your question, since we're being so introspective today - people lying when they're supposed to protect the people I care about.

How's that? That help?

And I'm not answering the second question because you know the answer.

A lot when I was a kid. I'd go make bad decisions, get high, fuck a friend's boyfriend.

Then when I got to be an adult I just don't get angry much. I yell when I do. I killed some people. Bad decisions still, just not as often.

I don't actually get angry often.

[He exaggerates it sometimes for effect. But it's very rare he actually gets anywhere near the kind of anger Warren is talking about.]

But when something gets to me and it's beyond my ability to channel, I find someone to talk to these days.

[Most recently, Warren himself!]

Blue jeans. I try not to look, but they're everywhere here. It's only a matter of time before I attempt to overthrow the Admiral and wipe out all blue jeans from the multiverse.

[Norton can't resist an opportunity to talk, but also can't talk honestly about this publicly. And so Kepler gets the shallow persona.]
