(OOC: Have something planned or are you just looking for company. Beka's coming back tonight, and she's been in the firing range, but may need to zap out to fetch coffee. Wouldn't want to bust anything in progress.)

[OOC: Nothing's planned, don't worry. Just bored :P]

*Beka steps through the golden halo of light into the Perkolator where she spies Dr. Jackson*

Hey. *She waves.*

*After grabbing a cup of coffee and paying, she approaches cautiously. He seems sort of...agitated.*

Want company?

(OOC: Assuming you got caught up in something else. I've toddled off to do real work, but I'll be around if you're still bored.)

[OOC: *headdesk* my internet cut out RIGHT as you posted this, so I just decided to go to sleep]

[OOC: NP. I went to bed early for once. Good thing too.]

*He looks up from his book to see Beka standing there with coffee in hand. He decided that anything was better than getting frustrated with a book, and he nodded* Sure.

If I could read thoughts, I'd probably be offended by that "anything was better". *grins*

She pulls out a chair, then sits, pointing her chin at his book. "What're you reading?"

~~I think anyone would be, but that's why I *thought* it:P~~

Some book about Egypt. A very interesting view on how the pyramids were built *He holds it up to her*

~~Careful. Beka will stop bringing you coffee. :P~~

*rolls her eyes* It didn't sound interesting. It sounded like you thought the writer was a complete moron. ~~But then, to you, probably all of us look like morons.~~

*pout* All right, all right

Well, the view itself is interesting. The writer, however, did a really poor job supporting his argument. Think how I feel when I'm put up against people with "real" theories *rolls eyes*

~~Aww. So cute when you pout.~~

*nods* A lot of the early philosophies of slipstream travel were that way too. Interesting, but no foundations. ~~Beka has no theories. Only questions. She's smart enough at least to know that there's a lot she doesn't know.~~

~~*pouts again, just for the hell of it*~~

Yeah, of course some people do have foundations, but they're just misunderstood *sighs* Kind of like that guy who proposed continental drift. ~~Daniel likes to pretend he knows more than he does. Because he's Daniel~~

~~*pouts back because she knows she's cute when she does it*~~

*nods although she's not at all sure what continental drift is and wonders if it's something like the drifts of comets where she hides the Maru* Misunderstood? Is this something you proposed that people didn't understand? ~~Because you being so smart and all I can see how that would happen a lot.~~

~~*the immense cuteness of the two pouting individuals is enough to fry the brains of anyone else in the Perkolater*~~

It...might be. *he shrugs* Several years ago, I gave a lecture on the theory of aliens building the Egyptian pyramids and it led to the entire audience leaving before the lecture was even finished. ~~It's a price I must pay for my extreme intelligence~~

~~*if Janet were to come in and pout too, the three of them would be the cutest OT3-pout every in the history of the universe*~~

*Beka looks mildly outraged* How could they be so damnably stupid? *realizes she's not using her 'inside voice' she sips her coffee and tries to settle down* They do know about aliens don't they? *in her mind's eye she is seeing billions of ignorant present-humans eaten by Magog hordes and used to hatch their young* ~~I promise to try to always understand you. Or at least listen.~~

(*sighs* EVER. EVER. Not every. *sighs* Yes, I can type. And that was OT3-pout, not OT3 in the other way. *g*)

Well, they did not know about aliens at all, actually. *He shrugs* Perhaps in your time, aliens reached the outstretch of humanity, but where I come from, we couldn't even travel outside of our galaxy. Listening is the first step to understanding. Good girl *pats you and gives you cookie*

They should've listened anyway. ~~Because not listening to people who are smarter than you is stupid.~~ So did they? The aliens, that is, build the the pyramids? *preens* I'm am SO a good girl.

People are not very stubborn at believing something that would completely change the perspective of the world that's existed for the past centuries. ~~Yes, but when one has an ego the size of a small country, he might tend to think he is smarter than the actual smart person. Or something~~ Well, I have evidence that shows they did. Unfortunately, it's classified so I can't tell anyone.

*nods* I guess so. I still think it's not smart to close your eyes to possibilities. It's a good way to end up very, very dead. That whole classified thing must be tough. I can imagine how it must be for someone like you, not to be able to prove you're right. ~~I believe you.~~

That is very true. ~~Everyone on Earth did almost die. I don't think anyone was even aware of it.~~ It is quite frustrating. Some days go by when I just want to get up on a podium and prove to everyone I was right. ~~at least someone outside of Colorado believes me~~

I wish there was something I could do to help. But I don't think anyone's going to believe a girl from 3500 years in your future. *blushes* If they'd even believe that I am from the future. I've seen a lot of strange things Dr. J. When someone who looks like they know the business end of a gun and is smart tells me something's true, I tend to go along with it until I know different. Besides, there's always that Gou'ald. Hey. What if we exposed Camulus? Would that help?

It's okay, just by believing me is helping. ~~You're talking to the person who died and came back to life. More than once.~~

~~Depends what you mean by expose. Because if you mean "derobe" then count me out~~ That might help. It'll at least make me feel safer.

Cool. I know I cause a lot of trouble. But it's part of my personal code. Help the people you... uh... ~~like~~ respect. ~~Dude. That must suck. I haven't done that yet. Though my DNA does travel back into time, still after your time, to found the race that kills a whole frelling lot of humans.~~

Well. You don't have to watch that part. *grins* Yeah. And, we could maybe tell people about him being an alien.

~~Yeah, but you get used to it after the first...second...third time?~~

Good. Because I don't need whitedeathpod calling me gay for that Good point. Then at least we'd have step one (prove that aliens exist) completed.

~~*blink* third time? Dude. You poor thing. *pats*~~

~~It's OK for him to call you gay for other things? I told him it wasn't cool to call the teachers gay.~~ Step 2, prove that aliens built the pyramids is a bit harder. Just because they could have doesn't mean they did. Any way to prove they were on Earth around the right time without busting that whole classified thing?

~~*pouts. again*~~

~~No, it's NEVER okay, but we don't need to give him a reason~~ Hmm...I might be able to finagle something.

OMG, so cute. *pouts back*

So you're not gay. Good to know someone's straight even in subtext. *grins* Excellent. Let me know. I'll see what I can do about arranging to, erm, expose Camulus.

AH cuteness attack! *pouts even more*

~~There needs to be at least one person who's straight in subtext~~ Okay. Good luck with that.

*laughs* because it's all too cute. and people this cute should be kissed when they're pouting both of them, but other people might get mad, so laughing is better. Hee!

~~Yeah. It's pretty much not me.~~ Thanks. Let me buy you another cup of coffee for the whole Sims thing, and then I gotta get to the firing range or something. I feel... naked. *shudders*

~~*laughs with you because Janet would kill him if he was caught kissing anyone else*~~

~~I don't think there's anyone else in this entire school. EVERYONE is gay in subtext. Besides me~~ Oh, don't worry about that. Coffee and one go at Shep's Sims game and you'll be back on my good side. *smile* Yeah, firing range. Hmm, enjoy that.

~~*keeps laughing because Janet would kill her too and besides Beka Valentine does. not. poach*~~

That's a bit novel. But I guess it means I can flirt with you in subtext without the boys' competition. *grins* Coffee to class, every day. The good kind. And next time I see Shep, you're on. *pouts* I was on your bad side?

You could join us at the range anytime. I'm sure Aeryn and Dom wouldn't mind the company.

~~*shivers at the thought of boys flirting with him in subtext*~~ Not so much bad as my "should I give them detention just for the fun of it?" side.

I might take you up on that soon. Contrary to popular belief, I do enjoy shooting things from time to time. ~~If you give an archaeologist a rifle, pretty soon he'll ask for a machine gun~~

*pouts* If you did that, I might be forced to bring out my "not bring you coffee for a week to see how you like it" side.

But do come shoot with us. As long as you can handle yourself, I don't care what you carry. ~~I have a nice big blaster you could borrow.~~

~~OOC: BI in subtext, TYK! ;)~~

~~OOC: your mun is showing. *g* TYK?~~

OOC: *fly-by pouting*

~~OOC: too bad about that OT3 only being pouting. *wink* Though even pouting, Beka/Janet/Daniel is pretty damned hot.~~

OOC: Damn! I had, like, three other plans going tonight or I'd have shown up and made puppy dog eyes at Daniel!

[OOC: *pets* it's otay :)]
