[here, have a video. It's a smiling, pleasant-looking man in his mid thirties. He has the calm air of someone who has practiced saying this into the camera a few times.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Jarod DiCaprio, and I've recently taken post on board this ship along with a few new wardens. I'll begin serving on board staring just about---[he looks at his watch]---now. That's a good time to start, I think.

I look forward to meeting everyone, and I hope to hear from you soon.

And what a welcome it's been.

I assume you're here to threaten me, too? It appears to be the standard form of greeting.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about it. I'm leaning towards threatening at the moment, but the option of just finding you and punching you in the face is getting better and better.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Does it have to be the face? I think Denise already called that. You might want to aim for my left kidney, though. I've got a slight tear in it from my time as a kickboxer, so a good solid knee to it would probably cause me to urinate blood.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

No, I'm thinking the face. After all, if Denise has already punched you there then my punch would probably hurt more.

Actually, the nerve centers tend to dull after multiple punches. If she's strong enough to break something, it might even go numb from the pain. Your best bet is to hit a vital organ that'll cause long-term damage.

Have you considered punching the lower abdominal area? A ruptured intestinal tract would keep me miserable for weeks.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

Maybe. Or here, I could kick you in the kneecap. It always hurt when I got shot there.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Make sure you kick forward, though. If you kick to the side, I might end up with a bruise, but a kick forward is more likely to shatter the kneecap and leave me crippled!

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

God, this would be so much easier if I had a gun.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

But infinitely less satisfying, I'm sure. The physical nature of a punch or kick releases the endorphins and causes the overall euphoria.

Though if the sensation of shooting is what you prefer, I'm sure I could acquire a paintball gun for you.

It's just that I haven't had a hand to hand fight in ages.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I tried being a fighter once, but it didn't work out. I could try my hand at being a punching bag, if it would make you feel better.

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

That works for me.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I have a meeting in a few minutes, but I'll be ready afterwards. Say, two hours from now?

[lazarusrisen.livejournal.com]

That works for me.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

I'll see you then.

that actually happened to Libby last port, she had major surgery & was in the infirmary for weeks xD

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

You say that like it's no big deal.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Well, if he's looking to injure me, it's really important that he makes the most of the hits he can take.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

If it actually happens to you, you'll regret ever joking about it. Trust me.

[i-run-you-chase.livejournal.com]

Why would I joke about this?
