justprompts : The world is ending next week ~~thanks to the Winchesters~~ so what are you going to do with the time you have left?

Excuse me? Oh no. No no no, mister, I think you heard wrong.

I just got used to this crazy world. Kind of grew to like it. And am not ready to give up shoe stores, which they definitely don't have in outer space.

Not to mention that attitude is totally defeatist. 'The world's ending, oh well, accept it and wallow'? I don't think so. I'm on a mission here, and if the entire focal point of my mission gets destroyed, well, that chalks up to a big fat failure for Sally.

And Sally? Doesn't do failure. Or fat anything.

So if the world was ending in a week, what I'd do is stop it. Any way I could. Go in guns a blazin' or disarm the giant bomb, doesn't matter. As a soldier, I have to be ready for any scenario, and as an intergalactic wielder of badassery, I have to be ready to completely destroy anything that stands in the way of me completely owning said scenarios.

~~And what in the hell does that Winchester person have to do with it? He killed a unicorn; he's good in my books.~~

Lieutenant out.

Current Mood: annoyed

1. Because the mission cannot fail.
2. Because there are 20 more sales to hit and only so many hours in a day.
3. Because if you stop or make eye contact, the hobos will keep asking for change.
4. Because stragglers must be left to die.
5. Because otherwise Harry might get there first, and he'll eat all the cheesy crackers.
6. Because you don't have enough cash on you, and otherwise it will only end in tears.
7. Because quitting is for losers.
8. Because there's nothing better to do in this town.
9. Because if you keep flipping through the channels, eventually you might strike gold.
10. Because you need at least 10 things to finish the list.

justprompts : "Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.: - W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Moon and Sixpence

It isn't just weird to think of returning to the home planet anymore - it's become something that actively makes me sad. This is the longest assignment we've had in one place living amongst a culture, but not only that - these human beings and their feelings have a way of overriding logic circuits completely. Of creating bonds of loyalty that are stronger than any unit of command, in the name of family, or friendship, or sports teams, or female rights. There are so many things creating this sense of belonging here, people clinging to each other like amoebas, and it should be something I can laugh at, except... I get it now.

I feel the same way.

And I shouldn't - heck where we come from, there are no hugs, since we're all just purple tubes, and there are no feelings, at least not in the way humans define them. But I love these things now. Even when they suck, and make our bodies react in weird leaky ways, it just seems right to me. If we were ordered to take some action against these humans now, I wouldn't know what to do. I've never questioned orders in my life, but I feel like they'd be asking me to turn on my own unit.

This place sort of feels like home.

I sort of feel human.
