❧ 004 ❧ Video

[Hello Black Tide, San has decided to grace the boat with his presence. He's smirking and waving at the camera before he addresses the network.]

With Valentine's Day on the way, which is a romantic holiday for those who don't know, I realize that majority of you are spending the day alone. I'm willing to offer my company, but depending on demand I might not be able to hang around as long as you hoped. If that happens, I'll be willing to make an arrangement for another day. Don't worry, these conversations will be private.

I do hope everyone enjoys the gifts I leave for them over the next few days. Of course, I'm not speaking of the recent package that was delivered. I believe that was from the Captain. Although, it is a shame that I can't give the crew their presents.

You're talking about sex, aren't you?

[Stars, someone put her out of her misery.]

Damn! I didn't mean to---

[The feed cuts abruptly.]

Edited 2015-02-13 17:22 (UTC)

Not completely. [He laughs.] It's really up to the person in question what they want to do with me.

[For reasons no one can discern, Mia has decided to turn the feed back on. Maybe she's not doing it on purpose.]

So you ARE talking about sex. A little. Kind of.

Oh my stars.

I swear I'm not normally this rude. Well, I'm usually THINKING like this. I don't usually blurt it out. I'm so sorry. I don't even know who you are. My name is Mia.

[He lets out another chuckle upon hearing Mia's response.] ...Well, by the way this conversation is going, it is bound to happen.

I don't think you're being rude, Ms. Mia. [He could give an example but he'll refrain for the time being.] Although I bet you wish that this conversation started on a better note.

I'm Xander.

It's nice to meet you. And I DO wish that. At least you're being polite about it. Wish I could say the same for my boyfriend, but he's a horrible person.

[Well okay then.]

Well I hope you get some this Valentine's Day, Xander. If that's what you're trying to do. I'm pretty sure it is.

[Not like she's been trying to do the same thing elsewhere.]

I tend to be rather understanding. [His tone was rather pleasant and if he was on the video function, he would be smiling.] Hopefully the next time we speak, our conversation will start differently. A clean slate.

[Although that comment about Mia's boyfriend catches his interest.] What did he do to be considered 'horrible'?

Thank you for the well wishes, Ms. Mia but my offer isn't completely about sex. If things don't resolve between you and your boyfriend, and you want some company, don't hesitate to contact me.

Oh, no, they'll resolve, I think. He's just irritating. He's just taking advantage of this whole "I can't self-censor" thing like a prick. It's harmless.

Though hey, if things don't work out in the long run, you're pretty good looking.

....

I should really turn this off. Thank you for your patience.

Ah. That sounds troublesome. Do you know what caused it?

[He laughs softly at the compliment.] I appreciate the praise and you're welcome.

Those candy baskets, I'm pretty sure. It started right after I ate the candy hearts.

[Mia is mortified at her impromptu compliment, but whatever, at least he's good natured.]

Well, you're welcome. I don't usually go blurting that stuff out but here we are. I usually don't repeat myself this much either, but. No self-censoring. It's a pain. My whole train of thought just spills right out. It's a nuisance.

Interesting. It sounds like someone might have tampered with them. Thank you for the information.

That's fine. Maybe you should take your advice and stay off the network until the effects from the candy have worn off.
