( one line shipping prompts )

[wheesockies]

( reverse ) one-line shipping meme In matters of the heart, actions speak louder than words. Still, words are pretty important, too. ( how to play ) Leave a top-level, either blank or with prefs. Reply to others...with one line only. All other comments can be as meaty or sparse as you'd like, but the rule is that the starter tag must be one line (not counting ooc chatter). Use your brimming imagination or use a few of the many prompts available to copy and paste. Have fun!

[ ah. elnor is a little empathetic towards that. ]

You wanted it to be. Despite it all.

[snakehead]

Not enough to avoid washing out. Ergo, an untruth, which you are so steadfastly against.

[candorly]

No. You are Zhat Vash.

That truth is a blade you turn against yourself. I will have no part in it.

[snakehead]

I'm no more Zhat Vash than you are Starfleet.

[Why does he care so much about this in particular, even he doesn't know ok, but it matters. Stop being obstinate, battle nun boy.]

[candorly]

[ nope, he's not having it. ]

I have no intention of being Starfleet.

And while I am not Qowat Milat, I can bear the name in my heart. You choose to deny yours.

[snakehead]

Oh, that's brilliant. That's what I'll tell them when I get back, 'actually, I really feel like a Zhat Vash, so even though I washed out of the program I've decided I am one anyway'.

[candorly]

I would pay money to see that.

[ because that does sound hilarious and elnor is still a little petty about. everything. ]

[snakehead]

I'll be sure to send you an invitation to my trial.

[candorly]

The Zhat Vash are over.

It is unlikely they will come back from this. Their existence is known.

[snakehead]

You're probably right about that. Which means they'll need someone to take the fall for that.

[candorly]

Or you can start anew.

Let go of what the Zhat Vash was.

[snakehead]

And what sort of occupation should I fulfill myself with in this new life?

[candorly]

I cannot answer that for you.

But there is a universe full of worthy causes. And Romulans who still need help.

[ like the poor on vashti. ]

[snakehead]

You believe I'm suited for that kind of work? I'm touched. I thought you didn't like me.

[candorly]

I don't.

But you chose life.

[ elnor has to honour that, at least. ]

[snakehead]

[Deep sigh.]

That I did. For whatever that's worth.

[candorly]

That comes from what you make of it.

Not what others decide for you.

[snakehead]

And what are you planning on making of it now that your current quest has completed?

[candorly]

I will stay with Picard.

No doubt there will be other causes in his path. He seems to attract trouble.

[snakehead]

That we can both agree on.

[candorly]

I have nowhere else to go so . . . [ he shrugs. ]

It will do.

[snakehead]

We're just finding all sorts of common ground now. I'm sure he'd be proud.

[candorly]

[ a flicker of pain goes through his expression as he nods. recent events were still fresh in his mind. ]

We shall see.

[snakehead]

... I'd offer to make sure your trial invitation has a plus one but I'm sure he'll bully his way into speaking at it.

[candorly]

[ his lips twitch slightly. ]

He does like to appear uninvited.
